The next morning, the sky was a blue brick with white tiles, having just experienced a light drizzle that lingered on.
Su Caiyue, dressed in plain clothes and white socks, holding a twelve-bone bamboo oil umbrella, appeared before me just as I had imagined.
My senior brother always said, "Meiyang, you don't understand." Perhaps I didn't, but as long as he said a single word, I would be willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.
When I was eight years old, I broke my master's treasured Liuli Nine-Dragon Embroidered Cup while playing. My master was known for his strictness in teaching disciples and punished me by making me kneel at the door every day.
I did not come from a distinguished family; my senior brothers and sisters never got along with me. After morning lessons, they would leave hand in hand while I knelt alone on the ground, the small humiliation spreading in my heart bit by bit.
He came stepping on a colorful cloud, silently accompanying me without leaving my side.
In that moment, I knew he had taken root in my heart and begun to sprout.
When I was nine, he was severely beaten by our master for running down the mountain to buy candied hawthorns for me when I was ill; at ten, he skipped class with me and was locked up by our master alongside me...
Just a Su Leiyue, just a woman who loved him less than I did, with a face like a lotus and a heart like a poisonous scorpion.
She destroyed everything I had; how could I not hate her?
"You already know?" She looked at me, panic flashing across her face before disappearing.
Su Leiyue was quite cunning; her initial feigned affection and her Heart of Seven Apertures made her particularly meticulous in choosing a husband.
After Ye Shun descended the mountain, she had already prepared an escape route for herself upon first seeing Sikan Jade. My appearance and the Emperor Xiao's serious illness were all within her expectations. Thus, she carefully orchestrated everything to draw everyone into her scheme.
How could the Emperor Xiao know about Sikan Jade?
In today's world, aside from my master and me, no one else knew—unless it was Ye Shun's confidant.
At first, I was unsure. Just last night, after getting the Chancellor drunk, he revealed everything to me. A letter of accusation fell from the sky.
It had been stolen from the Ministry of Justice overnight, and the elegant handwriting was clearly very similar to Su Leiyue's.
With a loud slap, a faint rustling sound came from behind the screen. Su Caiyue covered her face, looking at me in disbelief.
I pressed on, "If you want to keep something a secret, you must not do it yourself. You secretly revealed to me through the General of Cavalry that you were born on Chen Year, Chen Month, Chen Day, and Chen Hour, a person destined to have double dragons in their fate. You took the initiative to turn me against Ye Shun. You see me hesitating, and you inform the group of ministers led by the Chancellor to report to the Emperor Xiao. The Chancellor's faction will surely pressure me to protect the Emperor Xiao, forcing me into a dilemma."
I underestimated her and was too eager to protect Ye Shun's life, which gave her an opportunity.
"You know Ye Shun well; his love for you is deep and heavy. Once this matter is exposed, with Ye Shun's temperament, he will willingly sacrifice himself for you.
Su Leiyue, you are clever enough, but do you deserve to say that you love him? He treats you with sincerity while you scheme against him until he sacrifices his feelings and life for you."
I stepped forward and tightly gripped her wrist, wishing I could crush her.
After a moment, panic slowly faded from her face, replaced by despair and a cold gaze. She looked at me and said, "Meiyang, do you really think he loves me?"
I was stunned, staring blankly at Su Leiyue.
" Meimei should be your nickname, right? Do you know that in the middle of the night when he dreams back, he always calls your nickname?"
Su Leiyue sneered, "He has never loved me; he has always loved you, Lord Meiyang."
I stood there like a statue.
Su Leiyue had gone mad at this moment. She said, "Since that's the case, the three of us will be entangled together for eternity; none of us will have peace."
My senior brother slowly walked out from behind the screen. He smiled and focused his gaze on me. In that instant, I understood the unfinished emotions in his eyes, and my tears began to fall one by one.
In just one night, Kyoto changed dramatically. The Censorate collapsed like a fallen tree scattering monkeys; Ye Shun went missing, and rumors spread through the streets that Kyoto's most beautiful woman, Su Caiyue, had left home under the pretense of divorce.
At that moment, my senior held my hand, dressed in simple clothes as we walked past ordinary households. The warmth of his palm was comforting, just like I remembered.
"This Purple Iris is beautiful; Husband can buy a bunch for his wife," the elderly flower seller said, looking at me and my senior.
My senior turned to me with a mischievous smile and asked, "Wife, do you like Purple Iris?"
I was taken aback, watching him struggle to hold back laughter. I turned to the elderly man and said seriously, "Sir, please bring me a cart full of Purple Iris. My Husband said he likes Purple Iris, so as his wife, I must like Purple Iris too."
We exchanged glances and then pinched each other's palms hard. Amidst the elderly man's astonished gaze, we ran toward the back mountain filled with Rhododendrons, holding hands and laughing heartily like we did in our childhood.
That day, amidst the chaos of Su Leiyue, my senior finally stepped out from behind the screen. He gently reached up to touch my head, just like when we were young, and with all his strength said to me, "Meimei, please forgive me for secretly loving you all this time."
I trembled all over. After waiting for so many years, no one knew how happy I was. The person I had loved through hardships had been silently protecting our love all along.
In that moment, we finally let go of everything and embraced tightly under Su Leiyue's jealous and resentful gaze.
"Meimei, since that's the case, let's be together." Those few short words declared that our love had finally come to light.
"Okay."
I smiled brightly. So let's be together; for now, let's not worry about family or country. Let's not ask about All People and Lives. As long as we are together, whatever time we have is enough. Even if one of us were to die in the next moment, it wouldn't matter. We ask for little; we only wish to be together.
