The next day, she waited for me in the mountains.
She asked me, "Why do you want to get close to the Emperor?"
"I want to kill him," I replied.
"Why?" she countered.
"He killed my father," I said.
"Who was your father?" she asked.
" King Chengqing," I answered.
"Are you trying to deceive me?" she challenged.
"Why would I deceive you?" I retorted.
"When did King Chengqing have a son like you?" she inquired.
"I was raised outside the palace since childhood," I explained.
"If that's the case, then why do you want to kill the Emperor?" she asked.
"For revenge," I stated.
"Why should I believe you?" she questioned.
"You don't need to believe me," I replied.
"What do you really want?" she pressed.
"You marry me, and I'll take you to kill the Emperor," I proposed.
"How can I trust you?" she countered again.
"You don't need to trust me; you just need to know that no one else can take you to kill the Emperor but me," I asserted.
"Fine, I agree," she said.
"You agreed?" I asked her in surprise.
"Yes, I agreed," she nodded.
"Wait here; I'll go ask for your hand in marriage," I told her.
"Okay," she replied.
I knew Lin Qingyao was gravely ill and that an ordinary person wouldn't live beyond three years.
Knowing her time was short, I thought about becoming a ghost couple with her.
I proposed to her, and she accepted.
I knew she didn't have deep feelings for me, but my heart was set on her.
Every day, I prepared soup for her, and she praised my cooking skills highly.
I knew she was skilled in martial arts, so I often discussed sword techniques with her. She talked to me about the past, and I urged her to let go of her burdens. She mentioned Shen Moxuan, and I advised her not to cling to it. When she spoke of Cold Poison, I encouraged her not to be afraid.
She asked me, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"I am," I replied.
"Then why do you still follow me?" she countered.
"I want to be with you," I said.
"Why do you want me?" she inquired.
"I want you," I answered.
"What do you love about me?" she asked back.
"I love everything about you," I replied.
"Would you sacrifice your life for me?" she questioned.
"I would," I nodded.
"Why are you so good to me?" she asked.
"I want to treat you well," I said.
"What exactly do you love about me?" she pressed again.
"I love everything about you," I reiterated.
"Don't lie to me," she warned.
"Why would I lie to you?" I retorted.
"If that's the case, then I'll trust you this once," she said.
"That's all I ask," I replied.
I knew Lin Qingyao didn't trust me, but I trusted her. I secretly added Ice Poison to her food and planned to torment her slowly. The more enthusiastic she became towards me, the happier I felt.
In my heart, I plotted that when she was completely unguarded, I would strike her down in one blow, just as she had done to my father before. Her health deteriorated day by day, yet my place in her heart grew stronger.
When she agreed to marry me, my feelings were mixed. Initially, I thought that by using the marriage to get closer to the emperor, I could kill him.
But when I was preparing for the wedding with her, I developed other thoughts. She firmly held my hand and smiled brightly at me. Suddenly, everything seemed uninteresting. I knew Lin Qingyao was seriously ill, but I didn't expect her condition to be this grave. I knew she wouldn't live more than three years, yet I never imagined she would collapse before my eyes.
The moment she fell, I panicked. I had initially planned to use her feelings to bring her into the palace, so that I could eliminate both her and the Emperor. But when she collapsed in my arms, I realized I had lost. She was the only flaw in my life.
I was captured by the Emperor's trusted aide. I thought that if I could assassinate the Emperor, it would not be a wasted life. But the Emperor's secret guards subdued me. During my interrogation by the Emperor, I confessed to everything except for the whereabouts of the antidote.
I knew that all of Lin Qingyao's suffering stemmed from him, and I wanted her to feel pain as a form of revenge against him. But when I saw Lin Qingyao crying in his arms, my heart ached with sorrow. Watching her shed tears made me wish for her to recover quickly.
I knew that only the Wooden Hairpin could cure her poison, so I told her that boiling it in water and drinking it would counteract the Ice Poison. She was overjoyed, embracing and kissing me. She said, "Liu Yu, I love you." In that moment, I knew I had lost.
My plan ultimately led to her demise. For many years after her death, I lived in pain and regret. I did not kill Bo Ren, yet he died because of me. The Emperor did not execute me; he merely expelled me from the imperial city. Wandering aimlessly in this world, my heart had long gone with her.
