Xie Ci Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and his head seemed to be hit by a stick from behind. He was dazed for a while, his ears were buzzing, and his hands at his sides were trembling slightly, full of disbelief.
Seeing his reaction, Yan Zhaozhao's heart sank suddenly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at his shocked eyes. The moment she lowered her eyes, the mist in her eyes instantly turned into tears and quietly fell from her eye sockets. She bit her lips tightly with her pearly teeth, as if she didn't want the person in front of her to notice her crying.
When she decided to tell Xie Ci Yan all this, she had anticipated the scene in front of her. He would be shocked, and then accept it in disbelief, and then begin to distance himself from her. The previous vows would turn into black smoke after the gorgeous fireworks at this moment.
How could she not know that there is no such thing as vows in this world. How can there be a friendship that never changes? That's just nonsense in the storybooks. My father and mother were both young couples who had an affair and could not be happy, let alone the love of an emperor.
Yan Zhaozhao held back the tears that were pouring out, took a deep breath, and tried to make herself look decent. She didn't want to show her weak side in front of Xie Ci Yan at this time. She smiled with difficulty and raised her head again, but she didn't look into his eyes anymore. She was afraid that she would see disgust in them again. "I told you before the night banquet...I didn't want to embarrass you. You, quietly...send me out of the palace, I..."
Before she finished her words, her body was suddenly pulled forward a few steps. She staggered two steps and then fell into a familiar embrace. She was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to push him away with both hands, but her nose was filled with the pleasant smell of Xie Ciyan. He was very warm, and his large body wrapped her tightly in it, and all the coldness in her body dissipated. The hands that wanted to push him away suddenly stopped moving and fell down again.
He was too warm, so warm that Yan Zhaozhao was reluctant to leave his embrace. He smelled so good, making her even more reluctant to push him away.
The sour feeling suddenly surged up in an instant, and tears burst out like a dam bursting, soaking the clothes on his chest. She wanted to say something else, but then she realized that she had already burst into tears.
"Yan Zhaozhao..." There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in the tone of his voice when he called her name. He seemed to be so angry that he opened his mouth and bit the tip of her ear. His voice was deep and hoarse, like rough sandpaper passing by her ear. "In your eyes, am I such a person who is not worthy of trust?"
Xie Ci Yan hugged her very tightly, as if he wanted to rub the woman in his arms into his bones and blood. There was anger of not being trusted in his eyes, but more of it was a deep look of heartache. He seemed to know that the woman in his arms was sobbing and crying, and raised his hand to stroke her back again and again to help her calm down.
He sighed softly, as if as long as Yan Zhaozhao cried, no matter how big the matter was, it would not matter one ten-thousandth of the time to him. "Zhao Zhao, be good, don't cry." He coaxed in a low voice, and hurriedly restrained the anger in his words, his voice was tender and a little helpless. "As far as Xie Ci Yan is concerned, whether Yan Zhaozhao can have children or not, she is my only wife, and the only queen in my harem, and nothing will change at any time."
He kissed her on the top of her head, "I just feel sorry for my Zhaozhao..." He hugged Yan Zhaozhao even tighter, as if he didn't want to let go for a moment, "My Zhaozhao... She is the happiest woman in the world, she should be loved by everyone, and all the treasures in the world should fall on her to add to her elegance. God... How can you treat my Zhaozhao like this!"
He lowered his head and buried it in her neck, his voice became deeper, and there were faint sobbing sounds, as if there was no sound.
Yan Zhaozhao listened to every word he said, her nose was even more sour, and tears could not be controlled. It seemed that the secret hidden for many years was finally known to him, and it seemed that he did not intend to abandon her after knowing it. For a moment, she was both uneasy and happy, but she could not say a word, and could only cry to vent the emotions that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
Noticing that Yan Zhaozhao was crying so hard, he let her go, and gently wiped the tears off her face. Even though he had just wiped the tears away and they fell again, he still wiped them away patiently. "Stop crying, okay?"
Looking at the anxious man in front of her, her heart warmed, and she asked him with sobs, "Why don't you ask me why I can't have children?"
Xie Ciyan obviously didn't expect that she would care about such a thing at this time. He felt helpless, but still answered carefully, "God has been so harsh on my Zhaozhao, how can I bear to expose your scar in front of me?" For him, the person he wanted in this life has always been Yan Zhaozhao, and only Yan Zhaozhao. The offspring is just the blood between the two of them, which can be either there or not.
He was indeed shocked when he first knew it, but he felt sorry for her keeping such a painful secret alone. She was bullied and hurt, and he didn't need to ask how she was hurt. He just needed to punish the person who bullied her.
"Xie Ci Yan..." Her sparkling eyes were full of grief. She thought she never wanted to mention this matter again. She thought even the only person in the world who would treat her well would leave her. But now, she was like someone who had been wronged outside but kept it to herself in front of outsiders. But in front of the person who loved her, all those disguises were shattered one by one, and she showed the softest side of her heart to the person in front of her.
She instantly gathered up her courage and told him all the things that had been immersed in the long river of time. With every word she said, Xie Ci Yan's eyes darkened a little. The gentle and affectionate look just now gradually became sinister, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that I, as an emperor, am still too kind and soft-hearted."
As if he was worried that Yan Zhaozhao was still in front of him, Xie Ci Yan immediately put away all these emotions, bent down and kissed her on her smooth forehead devoutly. "Yan Zhaozhao, listen carefully. No matter what happens, you will be my wife. Everything in the world will change, but Xie Ciyan and this sentence will never change."
"But..." She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes slightly red. "Don't you want the kingdom you fought so hard for? How can Shengguo allow a person to live..." Before she finished her words, she was completely blocked by his passionate kiss.
He seemed to be testing carefully, first brushing her lips with the tip of his tongue, and seeing her lips slightly open, he was relieved and drove his tongue in, instantly taking away her breath. A heart of friendship seemed to be out of control at the beginning of this kiss. He chased her still timid tongue, and did not let her have a chance to escape. He sucked it in an instant and rolled her tongue fiercely, as if to let her know that he had never had a wavering thought of love. When the kiss fell
, Yan Zhaozhao was already panting, her cheeks flushed, and even the look in her eyes when she looked at him had a little more coquettish and resentful.
Xie Ciyan gently pressed his fingertips on her slightly swollen lips and rubbed them, "I told you that you don't have to worry about those court officials. Before you came, I wanted to seize the throne to avenge my father and mother, and I didn't want my father's kingdom to fall into the hands of a coward like the deposed emperor. And I have completed my revenge, and I have also protected my father's kingdom. There is a sentence in the will left to me by my father that the throne should be occupied by the capable. It doesn't matter whether it is my blood or not. As long as the people live and work in peace and Chang'an is prosperous, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor."
Before meeting Yan Zhaozhao, he fought for the throne just for revenge. But after having Yan Zhaozhao, he had one more reason to fight for the throne. He wanted her to stand by him openly without being criticized by anyone, and he wanted to openly present all the prosperity in the world to her.
Without her, what fun would it be for him to sit on the throne?
The emperor may not be him, but Yan Zhaozhao's husband cannot be him.
