Chapter 262 True Love Is Like This

Ning Fengzhe understood what he meant and was slightly surprised.

"Does she know what I am thinking?"

Yan Yu shook her head.

"I infer from the facts that she doesn't know."

Ning Fengzhe couldn't help but be curious.

"Why didn't you tell her?"

Yan Yu explained with a smile.

"How can I be so talkative as to speak your mind for you? What if you don't want to tell her?"

Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes and laughed at himself.

"Well, I really don't want to."

Yan Yu told the truth.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, right?"

Sensing a hint of temptation, Ning Fengzhe gave him a cold gaze and left viciously.

He didn't answer, just asked back.

"Then you're not jealous? Why are you willing to risk your life to save him?"

Yan Yu stared seriously, not looking to the side.

"This is what true love is like."

"I love her so much that I don't want to let her down in the slightest."

Ning Fengzhe sneered, the sharp north wind was cold and cruel.

"Love?"

"How can a lover have such a pure and selfless heart?"

Yan Yu opened the medicine box, took out several kinds of medicine, and mixed them in appropriate amounts.

"My dear minister, is this pure selflessness? I myself do not realize it."

"Perhaps it's because I owe her too much, so I always feel that doing anything for her is natural."

"You treat her with great care, so I guess you don't feel indebted to her, right?"

Ning Fengzhe repeated in a low voice.

"Meticulous..."

Suddenly feeling a pang of heartache, he turned his eyes to the window, letting the mountain breeze blow his long hair.

"Even the prince can look at me like this. She should be the person who understands me the most in the world, but she is unwilling to trust me."

"I have been busy all my life, but in the end no one understands me."

Yan Yu removed the torn gauze and applied new medicine.

"Perhaps, this king understands you."

Ning Fengzhe chuckled, revealing a hint of inferiority.

"With the Emperor Yan's blessing above and loyal ministers below, King Di Jin is so glorious. How can you understand the sadness of being humble?"

Yan Yu stopped what she was doing, her jade-like eyes and eyebrows showing concern.

"This king understands the sadness you refer to."

"First, no matter how devoted you are to serving the emperor and father, he will always doubt you, as if you are in danger of your life if you flatter others. Second, I love my sister and have devoted more than 20 years to her. I have almost been deserted by everyone, but in the end, she was so hypocritical that I could not defend myself. I am left with nothing but sadness."

"For the former, I can relate to him. I have experienced the suffocating love of my brother, just as you have. When he was affectionate, he was really good. My dear, you may not know that I was an orphan in two lifetimes. His appearance made up for my father's love. Before I knew it, I had already regarded him as my biological father. But gradually, there was only pain between him and me."

"His invisible and intangible love is conditional. If I desire it, I have to pay a corresponding price. It may be handing over the kingdom or showing sincerity many times. My ability is limited, but his greed is endless. He will continue to demand endlessly until I am powerless. He will still feel sorry for himself and regard himself as a puppet, as if the one who plotted to kill him was never him, but me."

"Sometimes, I wonder why he doesn't love me? Is it because there are too many people who love him, and the number of people he loves is also endless, so after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up on me who is useless to him."

Having said this, I already feel heartbroken and tormented.

"We are both people who have been stranded in this world. How can I not understand your pain?"

"I know that you only care about these two people in your heart. Even if it would be unfair to the world, you cannot bear to hurt them in the slightest. However, the former is suspicious and the latter does not believe."

"You are so pitiful, they don't want you."

"I said this not to mock you, but to express that even if they don't believe you, I do."

It was as if someone was gently lifting up his heart, and a burst of warmth came unexpectedly. Ning Fengzhe subconsciously avoided the gaze and pretended not to feel anything.

"No matter what I do, she won't believe it."

"She has such a keen eye, how could she not see that I have never been false to her?"

"Why does she trust you so much? How did you do it?"

Yan Yu then picked up the gauze and re-bandaged the wound, while still chatting.

"You can't tell her your worries due to etiquette. She doesn't know much about it, and she will naturally be suspicious when she sees some unusual behavior."

"With your intelligence and hidden intentions, how can she find out unless you reveal it?"

"To be fair to the king, you really hid it too deeply."

Ning Fengzhe was slightly displeased and refuted directly.

"What do you mean by too deep? Didn't Your Majesty see that?"

"Does the prince boast that his strategy is slightly better than Xi'er's?"

The sky gradually brightened, the morning glow fell like soft silk, and the light mist on the mountains swirled, weaving a golden glow behind Yan Yu. Her graceful appearance was self-evident.

"This king knows what you are thinking. It has nothing to do with your own strategy. It is only because of her analysis that I have pondered deeply and then I know."

"My dear minister, do you still remember the plan of repairing the plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret?"

"She accidentally noticed a detail. The guards at the back door of Tongshitai suddenly became weak. From this, she knew that you were unwilling to bear it. You two have a close brother-sister relationship, and your beloved minister had shown great intentions to appease her before, so she naturally didn't think much about it."

"This king knows that this move has great significance."

"Before, I also thought you were hypocritical. You may have family affection for her, but you would stop at the court. In other words, I thought you had been using her all along. Until that time, between her and the court, or in other words, between her and my brother, you chose her."

"If you don't let her help me, my dear, what will you lose? I don't need to say more. You and I know it very well."

"If this is true, it's the same. Even if I can't see you clearly, I can still see myself clearly."

Ning Fengzhe was calm and reserved, and gave a serious reminder.

"How can the love between brother and sister and the love between man and woman be exactly the same?"

"Please be careful with your words, Your Majesty."

Yan Yu looked calm.

"It's just because of etiquette. There's actually no blood relationship. Why do you avoid talking about it?"

Ning Fengzhe looked up at the sky, sighed in frustration, and felt helpless.

"The foundation of life lies here. How can we ignore the rules of etiquette?"

Yan Yu treated the last wound, and her face gradually became redder as she smiled.

"It is not my intention to ask you to ignore the rules of etiquette."

"As long as you are not brother and sister, everything will go smoothly and this matter will be easy to handle."

As he spoke, he took out two imperial edicts.

"On the way, I have already prepared the decree, and I am looking forward to it. I am only waiting for this moment to hand it to you personally."

Ning Fengzhe was shocked when he heard this and wanted to kneel down to receive Yu's order, but was stopped by Yan Yu.

"No need to be polite, my dear, just read it directly."

"The first imperial decree is that I order my little sister to leave the Ning clan and return to her family. My dear minister, you may not know that before the flower-viewing banquet, she found her biological father, whose surname is Bai. After the imperial decree is made public, she will be a civilian princess, Bai Yunxi, and no longer your nominal third sister."

"The second imperial decree: My dear, you have performed meritorious service in protecting the emperor tonight. You are my savior and you deserve to be conferred the title of prince. I am grateful and will give you an additional reward, conferring the title of King Diyue."

Ning Fengzhe was caught off guard and his whole body froze. His originally calm and elegant face was now covered with a look of astonishment.

"Emperor... King Emperor Yue?"

After bandaging the wound, Yan Yu put away the medicine box and smiled generously.

"Yue's Decree is the same as Yu's Decree. If you disobey it, it is disobedience. Emperor Yue is the same as Emperor Jin. All the subjects of the world address you as the king humbly. If there are people in the Eight Terraces who are willing to obey you, they can follow you openly. There is no need to act in secret like the Li and Chen kings. There are other etiquette rules and the location of the Emperor Yue Palace. As long as I can think of it, it is all written in Yu's Decree."

"From now on, you are no longer a lowly person. You will have everything that this king has."

"As for the courtship, we are equals and compete fairly, okay?"
