Chapter Four: I Shouldn't Have Saved You (Part Two)
"Okay," Lu Jinxiu clenched her fists and agreed.
Fu Sanen laughed and waved his hand, signaling for someone to take action.
Yin Yue was stopped on the side, and Lu Jinxiu was being hit with a board, one after another. In the courtyard, Fu Sanen and Tang Shize were flirting with each other, while blood dripped from Lu Jinxiu's body to the ground. Yin Yue once again felt helpless, once again experiencing a hundredfold of pain. It turns out, she was just a passerby.
Lu Jinxiu, is it worth it?
Lu Jinxiu looked at Yin Yue with tears streaming down her face and smiled, indicating that she was okay and not to worry. Yin Yue covered her mouth, biting her lip tightly to prevent any sound from escaping. The taste of blood in her mouth filled everything, constantly reminding Yin Yue that Lu Jinxiu was the person she should truly treat sincerely.
After receiving fifty blows, Lu Jinxiu also looked extremely pale. Yin Yue rushed forward to support Lu Jinxiu, her face full of heartache. Lu Jinxiu comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'll be fine in a few days."
"See the guest off." The voice was extremely cold, without a hint of sentiment. Yin Yue looked at Tang Shize with a first glimpse of hatred in her eyes. After Yin Yue helped Lu Jinxiu walk away, Fu Sanen smiled and said, "Did you see that? Does she have you in her heart?" "You have a heart now," Tang Shize took his arm back and walked into the house alone.
Tang Shize did not lose his memory, he just doesn't know who saved him.
Fu Sanen told himself that the phoenix tail flower on her face was to conceal the horrifying scar, and that the scar was left to save him.
But would someone like Fu Sanen, who cherishes her appearance so much, really do so much for herself?
When he waited until night and saw Fu Sanen wiping away the clean face under the phoenix tail flower, he understood that Fu Sanen had deceived himself.
He found the doctor Xishi in the pharmacy, but he had already been silenced.
If one were to say that he had not fallen for Yin Yue, that would definitely be a laughable lie.
Tell him that Yin Yue has already given her heart to someone else.
He doesn't believe it.
But when he saw everything today with his own eyes, he felt a sense of emptiness and heartache.
The phoenix tail flower on Yin Yue's face and the familiar scent gave Tang Shize the answer. Yin Yue saved himself. But so what.
Yin Yue has already given his heart to someone, who is the current Crown Prince, while he is just a merchant's second son. He took a gulp of wine and gave a bitter smile. Perhaps, he should withdraw. After obtaining the last dose of medicine, the poison in Yin Yue's body was finally relieved.
At night, Yin Yue sat alone by the window, looking outside. In her mind, memories of Tang Shize were hard to dispel. Was it because Tang Shize had lost his memory that he treated her this way? Yin Yue comforted herself, but her heart was filled with pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lu Jinxiu quietly got out of bed and silently stood behind Yin Yue, his eyes filled with tenderness. He knew that Yin Yue still couldn't let go of Tang Shize.
After some time, Lu Jinxiu returned to Yin Mansion with Yin Yue, without waiting for everyone to sit down and talk. Outside the door, Princess Fukuan arrived with people for Yin Mansion.
"What is the meaning of this, Princess?" asked Lord Yin.
"By the grace of God, the Emperor decrees that the Yin Family has colluded with foreign enemies, sold official salt, embezzled the court's silver, and violated the imperial edict. The crime is unforgivable. Considering that their ancestors have been loyal to our dynasty for many years, the Yin family will be executed, and their three generations will be exiled. This is the decree," read the decree by Tang Shize, the person whom Yin Yue still held affection for, but who was now reading this cruel decree.
"I'm innocent..." Before Lord Yin could finish, River Sweeping ordered his men to act. Lady Yin pushed and shoved Lu Jinxiu, saying, "Crown Prince, take Yue'er and go, quickly!"
"Mother!" Yin Yue grabbed Lady Yin's sleeve tightly. Lu Jinxiu glanced at the situation outside, nodded solemnly, and led Yin Yue into a secret room.
The soldiers rushed into Yin Mansion, cries and shouts filled the air, and blood flowed like a river. Yin Yue was held tightly by Lu Jinxiu, but she saw Tang Shize approaching her father and mother.
"Go ahead, Young Master Tang," Fu Sanen took the sword from the person beside him.
"I...," Tang Shize hesitated.
"You are a member of Tang, think about Tang. If it weren't for Yin Family, Tang would take their place. Take action. Princess Fukuan is not to be trifled with. If you don't act, Tang won't stay either," Fu Sanen handed Tang Shize a sword and warned.
Fu Sanen Knowing that he has been exposed, Tang Shize already knows that he is not the one saving him, but since he wants to get him, he has to be more ruthless. If Yin Yue knows that Tang Shize killed the people of Yin Mansion with his own hands, he will naturally hate him to the bone. So, he conspired with Princess Fukuan to forge a fake imperial edict, mobilize the right-wing army, and kill all the people of Yin Mansion, including Yin Yue. In this way, river sweeping can get Lu Jinxiu, and he can also get Tang Shize. As for the emperor, Yin Mansion has always been powerful, and getting rid of Yin family is just a matter of time. Moreover, the emperor greatly favors Princess Fukuan, so he naturally won't punish her severely, and everything will be fine after some time.
"Don't, sob..." Yin Yue watched everything from a distance, and Lu Jinxiu tightly covered Yin Yue's mouth to prevent being discovered.
Tang Shize took the sword, closed his eyes, and with a swift motion, Lord Yin and his wife lost their lives. Yin Yue looked on in horror, struggling constantly.
Tang Shize dropped the sword and rushed out of the mansion.
"Let's go," Fu Sanen waved his hand and walked out of Yin Mansion with a smile. As she left, she looked in the direction where Yin Yue was hiding, her smile becoming even more arrogant.
Lu Jinxiu let go of Yin Yue, and Yin Yue stood up shakily and walked out of the dark room.
The courtyard was filled with corpses, and Yin Yue's tears kept falling. She knelt in front of the Yin family couple, sobbing uncontrollably. "Father, mother, I am unfilial," Yin Yue gently touched Lady Yin's face, wiping away the bloodstains before losing consciousness and fainting. When she woke up, she was already in the royal mansion.
Yin Yue saw her younger brother Yin Sheng, and held his face in her hands, feeling extremely distressed. "Sister, our parents are both dead," the tall seven-foot boy cried like a child. Yin Yue held her brother tightly, not saying a word, tears wetting Yin Sheng's clothes.
Yin Yue and Yin Sheng are hiding in the mansion. Yin Yue washes her face with tears every day, while Yin Sheng follows Lu Jinxiu to search for their aunt and younger brother. On the day of the incident at the Yin Family, their aunt was out buying sugar figurines with Yin Yue's younger brother when they received a tip-off. They hurriedly fled with Yin Yue's younger brother.
After a long time, Lu Jinxiu's people found Yin Yue's aunt - Yin Jinghua and her younger brother Yin Wenmo in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts. In order to evade the search by the officials and protect Yin Wenmo, their aunt destroyed her appearance, and Yin Yue couldn't help but shed tears at the sight of her aunt's wounds.
The younger brother, who is only eight years old, asked in a childish voice when he could go back to see his mother. Just as everyone was at a loss, King Pingyuan returned to the mansion and summoned Yin Yue and others. "My lord, we will move out tonight and not cause..." Yin Yue's words were cut off by King Pingyuan, who said, "Miss Yin, you worry too much. I have good news to tell you. His Majesty, in a fit of anger, has decided to marry Princess Fukuan to the King of Western Liang as his concubine, and the wedding is set for five days from now."
"What?" Yin Yue looked at King Pingyuan in disbelief.
"It's true. The emperor has also posthumously honored your father as a duke and bestowed the title of Ningde Princess upon Miss Yin. The news has already spread throughout the capital," King Pingyuan said with a very gentle expression.
Just then, Yin Sheng ran in from outside, shouting, "Sister! Sister! Father, father's name has been cleared!" Yin Yue was overjoyed and wept tears of joy, tightly grabbing her aunt's hand, who nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness," Yin Yue was about to kneel and bow, but was stopped by King Pingyuan.
"Your health is delicate, be careful. Xiu'er, do you have something to say?" King Pingyuan smiled at Lu Jinxiu, whose ears turned slightly red.
"I, I," Lu Jinxiu stuttered for a moment, then grabbed Yin Yue's hand and said, "Yue'er, will you marry me? My heart is pleased by you." The tears in Yin Yue's eyes had not yet dried, but she smiled and nodded.
Yin Sheng quietly wiped away his tears on the side, as he hadn't seen his sister so happy in a long time.
King Pingyuan held a grand wedding for the two at the mansion, inviting guests from all over. Yin Sheng also married Wang Linglang, the daughter of his late friend Wang Ruzhi, as his wife. Not long after the wedding, Lu Jinxiu prepared to leave the city with Yin Yue and others to visit Yangzhou.
As they left the city gates, they discovered a large number of soldiers and horses not far away, appearing to be from the right-wing army.
Without waiting for their reaction, the army surrounded them. Yin Yue and the others retreated to the city gate, only to find it tightly shut. "Open the gate! Let us in!" Yin Sheng pounded on the gate. Lu Jinxiu held Yin Yue tightly behind him, but there was no sign of the gate opening. "How dare you! Who is making a commotion here?" came a familiar voice from the city tower.
"It's river sweeping! It's not you!" Yin Sheng was the first to react.
"Didn't this princess marry far away to Xi Liang a long time ago? How ridiculous," river sweeping laughed.
"Yin Yue, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? How could a princess of your status marry someone from a place like Xi Liang?" This voice belonged to Fu Sanen, and Yin Yue, who was very familiar with it, questioned Fu Sanen: "What are you trying to do?"
"What are you doing? Look, who is this?" Fu Sanen placed a person at the edge of the city tower, it was Yin Yue's younger brother Yin Wenmo.
"What are you doing! Let him go!" Yin Yue panicked and shouted at Fu Sanen.
"Shi Ze, why don't you take him." Fu Sanen handed Yin Wenmo to Tang Shize, but Tang Shize didn't take him.
"Shi Ze, apart from them, the Yin Family will be completely clean, Tang can replace them immediately, you can't be soft-hearted." Fu Sanen said as he pushed Yin Wenmo into Tang Shize's arms.
"No, Shi Ze, look, look at my face, I saved you, you can't do this!" Yin Yue pleaded, pointing to the scar on her face.
"Shi Ze, is she important or is Tang important, you should make a decision." Fu Sanen grabbed Tang Shize's hand, staring at him intently. Tang Shize's voice trembled, "Sang Nian, I can't do it, I can't do it, let them go."
"Let go! You let me go! Fine, if you won't come, I will! Just wait for the Tang clan to collect the bodies!" Fu Sanen went mad and pushed Yin Wenmo off the city wall.
"No!" Yin Yue ran to her younger brother, only to find Yin Wenmo lifeless, his face covered in blood. Yin Yue held her brother in her arms, softly calling, "Wenmo, look at your sister, sister will buy you a sugar figurine, okay? Look at your sister." But there was no response.
"I'll kill you! You crazy woman!" Before he could finish his sentence, Yin Jinghua was shot with an arrow and fell to the ground.
"Aunt!" Yin Sheng roared, facing a dense rain of arrows.
" Fu Sanen, open the city gate!" Lu Jinxiu supported Yin Yue and shouted at Fu Sanen.
"Jinxiu brother, if you promise to marry me, I will..." river sweeping said excitedly.
"Princess, don't waste your efforts. I, Lu Jinxiu, only have one wife in this lifetime, Yin Yue. I will not marry anyone else! Please open the city gates quickly," Lu Jinxiu comforted the stunned Yin Yue while rejecting her at the same time.
"Lu Jinxiu, how am I inferior to her? Why do you repeatedly humiliate me like this!" River Sweeping, in a rage and with tears in her eyes, shot several arrows in succession.
"Because you don't have a heart," Lu Jinxiu, having been hit by two arrows and sounding weak, tightly held Yin Yue in his arms. Blood dripped from the back of Yin Yue's hand, and she heard Lu Jinxiu say, "Le'er, I... I can't go on. If there is a next life, could you give your heart only to me?" Then he fell silent.
Yin Yue's body was trembling, tears seemed to have dried up, and she replied with a trembling voice, "Okay."
The city gate opened, and Tang Shize walked out.
"Tang Shize, what are you doing!" Fu Sanen also hurried down from the city tower.
"Ler, I... " Tang Shize reached out to help Yin Yue up.
"Don't touch me, Tang Shize. You haven't lost your memory, have you?"
"I... I..." Tang Shize felt guilty and couldn't speak.
"Tang Shize, I regret saving you." Yin Yue let go of her younger brother, let go of Lu Jinxiu, and slowly stood up, looking at Tang Shize coldly.
She suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her head and stabbed it into her heart, blood instantly staining her dress, as bright and beautiful as the phoenix tail flower on her cheek.
Yin Yue fell to the ground, with a smile on her face.
"No! Yue'er, I was wrong, I was wrong." Tang Shize grabbed Yin Yue's hand, but Yin Yue struggled to pull her hand away and placed it in Lu Jinxiu's hand, holding it tightly. Tang Shize stood still, tears blurring his vision. Inside the city, King Pingyuan drank the poisoned wine, and Wang Linlang also jumped into the lake.
King Pingyuan The mansion has gathered,
Yin Family has also gathered.
Leaving alone, Tang Shize is in a daze, lost and dejected.
