Time passes like flowing water, quietly slipping away, and my bedroom has become desolate with the passage of time.
The fallen leaves are left uncleared, covering the ground, making a rustling sound when stepped on, as if telling the story of past prosperity and present loneliness.
Yan Zheyun Standing under that tree, his figure appeared particularly lonely amidst the dappled tree shadows. His dark hair was slightly disheveled in the gentle breeze, hinting at a hint of weariness, as if suggesting the pressure and fatigue he was enduring.
Hearing my footsteps, he slowly turned around, his eyes carrying a hint of gentle smile: "I wonder if the princess has found someone to entrust her life to? If not, could you consider this humble servant?"
His words carried a hint of mockery, but more so a deep sense of anticipation.
I looked at him in astonishment, filled with doubt in my heart: "What exactly happened? Wasn't Imperial Consort in good health? Why did she have a difficult childbirth? And why did Father Emperor ask me to come and ask you?"
My questions come one after another, and the confusion in my heart is like a tangled mess.
Yan Zheyun gently pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. His movements were gentle and firm, as if conveying a kind of strength to me: "After nurturing for several months, why is your mind still not clear? The Emperor asked you to come to me because I am by the Emperor's side."
His words carried a hint of teasing, but more so, they were filled with concern and protection for me.
In that instant, I understood that Yan Zheyun was never a Consort. He had always denied it, but I had only taken it as his sophistry.
I was anxious: "What's going on? You need to tell me clearly." There was a sense of urgency in my voice, as I desperately wanted to know the truth.
Yan Zheyun's voice echoed in the palace, his words acting as a key that unlocked the long-standing doubts in my heart.
As he narrated, the scenes of the past gradually became clear in my mind.
It turns out that many years ago, as the power of the Lee family grew, the emperor began to secretly lay out plans, appointing the Yan family to get close to the Lee family in order to win their trust.
Yan Zheyun's family has always been loyal to the emperor, willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the stability of the imperial power.
Empress Dowager Li, that scheming woman, on one hand, is searching for ways to bear a son in order to solidify her position in the palace, and on the other hand, is secretly plotting how to eliminate me as a potential threat.
Fortunately, I cleverly pretended to be crazy and foolish, hiding from her repeated schemes under the seemingly harmless image.
As for Yan Zheyun, his path to studying medicine was not a coincidence, but rather a carefully arranged part by the emperor.
He pretended to surrender to Empress Dowager Li, ostensibly helping her to probe my condition, but actually secretly protecting me and preventing her from poisoning me in my daily life.
The time he deliberately spilled the food was because he had learned of Consort's conspiracy in advance, and used this method to protect me, while also avoiding arousing Consort's suspicion.
Father, this aging monarch is filled with worry. He fears that once he passes away, I will become a victim of the Lee family's usurpation.
Therefore, he made up his mind early to eradicate the Lee family, a major threat. The emperor knew that the child Consort carried was not of royal blood, yet he still had Yan Zheyun care for them day and night, just to appease the Lee family and make them relax their guard.
On the day of Consort's production, Father Emperor finally made his move, unexpectedly raided the Lee family, and regained military power.
All of this was the result of years of planning by Father Emperor and Yan Zheyun.
I listened to Yan Zheyun's narration, and the fog in my heart gradually dispersed.
I finally understood why Yan Zheyun always kept his distance from Consort and me. It turns out that everything he did was to protect me, fearing that once Consort knew I was not ill, she would become even more crazy and harm me.
Why didn't I think of all this at the time? How did I not see Yan Zheyun's true intentions? Such complex emotions, both indulgence towards me and helplessness towards my actions.
"I live in constant fear every day, afraid of being exposed by Consort, and falling victim to her schemes. Yet you still find ways to provoke me," Yan Zheyun's voice carried a hint of grievance, as if he was expressing the pain in his heart.
He risks his life to protect me, facing off against Empress Dowager Li, and yet I always seem to be the one causing him worry.
I can feel Yan Zheyun's helplessness, and I can also feel his deep affection for me. A warm current surged in my heart. No matter what I do, he will unconditionally accept and protect me.
"Zhao Yuanyuan, if I don't discipline you well after we get married, I won't be surnamed Yan." Although Yan Zheyun's words carried a hint of threat, there was no real anger in his eyes.
I smiled gently, filled with gratitude and love for him.
"Okay, from now on, I won't hit you. You can hit me instead." I smiled and nestled into Yan Zheyun's arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace.
Yan Zheyun paused, then chuckled, "How dare I, princess, you are so violent."
There was a hint of teasing in his words, but more of a deep indulgence. He gently stroked my hair and held me tightly in his arms.
I can feel Yan Zheyun's heartbeat, feel his deep affection for me.
We just hugged quietly, feeling each other's body temperature and breath. Everything around us seems to have disappeared, leaving only the two of us, enjoying each other's company in this small space.
Yan Zheyun gently whispered in my ear, "Yuanyuan, no matter what the future holds, I will be by your side, protecting and cherishing you." His voice was filled with determination and commitment.
I lifted my head, gazing deeply into Yan Zheyun's eyes, and earnestly replied, "Yan Zheyun, I feel the same way. No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side, supporting and accompanying you."
Our eyes met, and our hearts connected tightly in this moment.
In this moment, I know that I have found the person in my life, the one who is willing to spend a lifetime with me, holding my hand tightly through wind and rain, through rough times.
