Chapter 79 Emotional
In the secret room, Ning Yunxi turned her back to Yan Yu, with an expression of lingering embarrassment on her face.
After an unknown amount of time of silence, she finally thought of an excuse and broke the silence.
"I believe Lord Gao has already investigated the assassination attempt at Tongshitai. Your Highness, please go and ask him. I will take my leave now."
Having said that, she didn't care about etiquette, turned her back, said goodbye, and walked away quickly.
After taking two steps, Yan Yu stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."
Ning Yunxi was frightened when she suddenly came face to face with him. She quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please give your orders."
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Yan Yu's eyes turned bitter and she fell sadly.
"What do you mean by your words and actions?"
"If you do not recognize the sworn brotherhood and therefore changed your address, then you should not leave in a hurry, but discuss the marriage certificate with me; if you do not recognize the husband-wife relationship, then you should insist on calling me brother."
"Since you want to regret your vows and do not acknowledge your relationship as husband and wife, then what is the point of our ceremony of worshipping the heavens above and the earth below? Have the children ever had a family?"
"I want to be sincere and not beat around the bush, so even if you want to leave, please make it clear."
Ning Yunxi's mind was in a state of confusion, as if there were so many things on her mind that she felt suffocated.
"Reporting to the prince, it is not that I do not recognize the sworn brotherhood, but that the prince feels regretful. The minister can only acquiesce and dare not disobey."
"As for the husband-wife relationship, I really don't want to do that, so after careful consideration, I have no choice but to change the address. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"The ritual of worshipping the heavens and the earth belonged to my brother and I in the previous life. In this life, the prince is an outsider and has nothing to do with us. It can be regarded as if nothing happened."
Yan Yu stared at her and spoke frankly with his heart open.
"But I'm already in love, how can I pretend nothing happened?"
Ning Yunxi's pupils trembled slightly, and there was a flame in her heart, making her restless.
Yan Yu's starry eyes are full of deep love.
"Since we met, I have seen and remembered your resourcefulness."
"You are exactly my type, graceful and elegant, with a virtuous character and talent."
"Besides, you and I have similar interests and aspirations. We both want to help the world."
"I wonder if there is an idiom in your time, 'hide one's illness and avoid doctors', which means to conceal one's illness and avoid doctors."
"In my time, many people were in this situation. Because some doctors not only failed to cure the disease, but also blamed the patient for the cause of the disease, swore solemnly and used harsh words, many people were immersed in the pain, endured it as much as possible, and became unwilling to seek medical treatment."
"As doctors, you and I all know that illness is caused by many factors. How can we blame the patient alone? However, there are countless people who do not want to make progress. After many years, everyone has begun to avoid seeing a doctor."
"I know that there is nothing wrong with medicine itself. It's just that some doctors don't study hard and keep up with the times to improve medicine, which leads to minor illnesses not being cured and major illnesses not being cured. Such days, although in the human world, are like being on the edge of an abyss."
"I really want to change the status quo, translate obscure medical knowledge into something that everyone can understand, and incorporate the prevention of minor illnesses into daily life. In this way, serious illnesses will naturally disappear."
"I can sense from our daily interactions and secret investigations that you share the same idea. We share the same ideals, and before I knew it, I was attracted to you."
Ning Yunxi listened carefully, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
The brother in this life may not know this, but in fact, in their previous life, they had jointly researched and developed the "Theory of Constitution".
And that medical book had already gone to the 22nd century with my brother from my previous life.
It’s just that people are not very willing to accept new things, so it is a little difficult to popularize them.
But she believes that she will succeed in the end.
Even if you fail, you have tried your best and it is not a failure.
"Brother, I understand your wish."
"In fact, it's fine to be sworn brothers while studying medicine. Why do we have to get married?"
"Besides, you and I have already achieved research results in our previous lives."
Yan Yu gave a bitter smile.
"What's the use of having research results? In the 30 years of Shengping, the stars will not appear at all. You and I can't go back."
Ning Yunxi consoled with a smile.
"So what if I can't go back?"
"All the people here are my brother's subjects. They are also in dire straits and are looking forward to rain after a long drought. My brother can save them first and then find a way to go back. Maybe there will be other ways besides astrology."
Yan Yu followed suit and smiled.
"It makes sense."
"But you avoided the question and still didn't say it clearly."
"What I mean is that you and I are in step with each other, and I can't help but be moved by your affections; rather than marrying you just to save all the people in the world."
Ning Yunxi's smile faded and she felt a little disappointed.
"Brother, do you still want to break the sworn brotherhood agreement?"
Yan Yu expressed helplessness.
"I've already told you, that's not sworn brotherhood, so how can there be a sworn brotherhood agreement?"
"In ancient times in our place, it was a very simple ceremony of worship."
"As far as I'm concerned, it's you who regrets getting married, not me who doesn't want to acknowledge our marriage."
Ning Yunxi looked up pitifully and spoke in a coquettish tone.
"But brother, you are not in the 22nd century now."
"Just follow the local customs."
"My sworn brother suddenly became my husband. I really can't accept it."
"What's more, my brother is unmarried and I have been divorced once. How can the emperor marry a woman who has been married twice?"
"Brother, you will be laughed at."
Yan Yu retorted.
"What's wrong with being married for the second time? Divorce is very normal nowadays. There are many divorced people in this big world."
"Why can't a divorced woman choose to marry a first-married man? I think as long as the two are in love, there's nothing wrong with that."
Ning Yunxi was stunned when she heard this, so she reminded him.
"Have you forgotten that this is the Yuesheng Dynasty, not the 22nd century?"
"Divorce and abandonment are rare."
"Since ancient times, no one who married twice could hold their heads up high. Not only you and me, but also our families would be ashamed because of this."
"My brother has a special background, so he should marry a pure and innocent daughter of an aristocratic family to achieve a perfect marriage. This is how emperors have always done when they have appointed empresses and concubines."
Yan Yu remained silent, as if thinking.
After deep thought, he took her out of the secret room.
Ning Yunxi thought he had figured it out, so she turned around and heard him solemnly instruct her, "Lin Mu, on your way back to the Lin Mansion, you will pass by the Governor's Terrace. Go in and inform him that I am about to issue a new decree."
Lin Mu lowered his head and responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please give your orders. I am all ears."
Yan Yu gave instructions while writing down Yu's edict.
Yu's decree is just like an imperial decree.
"From today on, divorce is abolished. Anyone who is unhappy in marriage can file for divorce with the governor and provide reasons."
"If the marriage cannot be saved after mediation by the state governor, a divorce certificate will be issued. Divorced couples can remarry or marry separately."
"In addition, couples who have divorced or resigned will be deemed divorced, and the state governor's office will reissue a divorce certificate."
Yan Yu took out the jade seal, but was stopped by Ning Yunxi: "Brother, think twice, it might cause public outrage!"
