At the palace banquet, I got into a fight after hearing the officials' wives mocking Xiao Yi. When I returned, my face was bruised and my hair was disheveled.
I took a detour to Xiao Yi's grave, holding onto the tombstone and crying for a long time. After drinking, I often felt that Xiao Yi was right beside me. He remained silent, but I could always sense his presence.
At night, I frequently dreamt of Xiao Yi coming back to find me. In my dreams, I would ask him, "Xiao Yi, have you come to see me?" Xiao Yi wouldn't say anything. I took his silence as an affirmation.
I held him tightly and cried like a child. "Xiao Yi, please don't leave me, okay? It's too cold being alone." "Take me with you."
Xiao Yi always remained silent. Eventually, I grew desperate and begged him to take me away. But Xiao Yi would always scold me. "Qian Qian, you must live." "Qian Qian, don't be foolish." "Qian Qian, it's time to wake up."
When I woke up, I looked around the empty room and cried uncontrollably. It turned out that even if Xiao Yi had become a wandering spirit, he no longer visited my dreams after a year. He had completely abandoned me.
uncle Wang once said that if a beloved person passes away, one year of sorrow is enough, followed by another year to calm down, and then a year to forget. Three years should be sufficient for me to navigate through all the joys and sorrows alone.
But with Xiao Yi, we had known each other for seven years and loved each other for seven years. Three years were far from enough. I remained immersed in my dreams, unwilling to wake up.
I always feel that Xiao Yi is still alive; he has just left, and one day he will return. I have always been in the midst of it all. Someone covered my eyes, leaving me blind.
Xiao Yi was summoned to the palace by Yuwen Hao for questioning. Xiao Yi neither admitted that Luo Yu had ulterior motives nor denied it. Instead, he told Yuwen Hao, "As long as I am alive, he will not turn against you. If I die, he will immediately pull you down from the throne."
Xiao Yi truly is a formidable figure who does not act like a mere minister. His words were so bold that Yuwen Hao did not dare to kill him immediately but instead detained him in the palace. Meanwhile, Luo Yu launched a coup in the capital, surrounding the palace with thirty thousand troops.
The famous generals in court have all aged; those remaining are either inept or old subordinates of Xiao Yi. When Luo Yu raised his army, no one could stand against him, and the situation became critical for a time. Before starting his rebellion, Luo Yu sent people to protect Prince Zhongshan’s Mansion. He said, "If anything happens to you, Xiao Yi will not forgive me."
He trusted Xiao Yi just as Xiao Yi trusted him. On the tenth day of Xiao Yi's detention in the palace, he faced off against Yuwen Hao for ten days. During these ten days, Xiao Yi intended to show Yuwen Hao that he could elevate him to power or bring him down from it. These ten days served as a warning from Xiao Yi to Yuwen Hao and a reminder of the nature of power.
During these ten days, I gradually calmed down. I often pestered uncle Wang with questions about past events. I always felt that I had forgotten something. Perhaps the words spoken to me by the the Qian Family father and daughter were not falsehoods. I just couldn't remember.
uncle Wang told me many things I did not know. He said that over the years, Xiao Yi had done many things for me: sending me back to the the Qian Family, rescuing me from the city tower, faking his death, helping me escape... Each and every act was Xiao Yi protecting me.
Xiao Yi's attitude towards me was not static. Initially, he found me annoying; later on, when he saw me frequently hovering around him, he found me bothersome. Eventually, when he witnessed me being bullied yet refusing to speak up, he developed a sense of pity for me.
Xiao Yi said, "I am a stubborn girl who can stir his emotions. He fears that in the future he will be burdened by love, so he sends me far away, never to see me again."
But unexpectedly, I ended up marrying him.
That day, Xiao Yi intended to avoid me, but while I was talking to a maid and didn't notice him, Xiao Yi became angry, feeling that I didn't see him in my eyes.
Later, Xiao Yi thought that since we were already married, he might as well try to get along with me.
Eventually, Xiao Yi began to like me.
He liked me in a way that was inexplicable, even he himself didn't realize it.
uncle Wang said that when my parents sold me to a brothel, it was Xiao Yi who rescued me.
Xiao Yi placed me in the Wang residence and protected me well.
He pretended to be foolish and wandered around with me, all to make me happy.
When I fell off my horse, Xiao Yi panicked and sought out a famous doctor overnight to treat me.
When I was unconscious, it was Xiao Yi who kept vigil by my bedside.
He feared that I would be left with scars and searched for scar-removing ointment, applying it for me every day.
Later, when I had a high fever that wouldn't subside, Xiao Yi took care of me without rest.
On the day I recovered from my illness, Xiao Yi collapsed from exhaustion.
He fell seriously ill, and during his sickness, he called out my name.
uncle Wang said that Xiao Yi had never liked any other woman; I am the first and the only one.
Xiao Yi's affection for me was never spoken aloud; he simply did everything silently.
He cooked for me and added honey to the medicine he brewed for me.
Every bowl of medicine I drank contained Xiao Yi's hard work.
Every dish I ate carried his intentions.
All of Xiao Yi's efforts were made quietly and selflessly.
When Xiao Yi faked his death, he left me a seal; it represented his life and all his love.
He asked me to live well in order to repay his feelings for me.
This life of mine was given by Xiao Yi, and I will use this lifetime to repay his kindness.
