Prince Yue had always had sharp eyes and ears. Seeing me like this, he angrily pried open my fingers one by one. However, because of my wound, he didn't dare to use too much strength and could only use some of his strength on himself. I glanced at him and saw that even his fingernails had turned white.
/p
Once again, he repeated the action of applying medicine to his wound. His tightly pursed lips suddenly cracked open as he called out to me, "Chuizhu!"
/p
Since he didn't call me by my surname, I felt that his anger had subsided a little. I blankly replied, "Ah?"
/p
When I raised my head, I saw that he was staring at me and said, "You should just kill me."
/p
"I can see that this prince has the potential to be a masochist and violent. I didn't expect that such a gentle and refined person would have such a terrifying heart."
/p
I sighed and said, "What did this concubine do wrong? Your Highness, you can just tell this concubine to change on the spot. Why do you have to threaten this concubine with death?"
/p
Prince Yue was also very honest, "What I want is very simple. First, I want you to not take risks. Second, I want you to no longer suspect me."
/p
I thought about the difference in our martial strength, power, and influence. I nodded and was forced to agree against my will. "Okay."
/p
Prince Yue didn't even think about it before smiling helplessly. He looked at me for a while, then lowered his head to look at my hand. He scolded me with a smile, "You don't mean what you say."
/p
I thought about it and decided to lay my cards on the table, "Your Highness, there is a prerequisite for taking risks. As the old saying goes, you can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. In order to avoid greater danger, I have no choice but to take risks. Think about it, is cutting off a finger more important than losing your life? Your Highness should be able to understand the trade-off! "
/p
Prince Yue glared at me and I immediately shut my mouth. From his eyelashes to his body, he was trembling slightly, as if he was trying to restrain some kind of domineering and decisive power in his body. I was really afraid that he would smash my skull with a single slap.
/p
He snorted. "Don't stop. Don't stop. Go on."
/p
I cautiously looked into his eyes. Helpless, his entire face was covered by a mask. It was impossible to read his thoughts from the outside. I didn't want to guess, nor did I feel like guessing. I might as well make things clear. "Your Highness, the second point you mentioned, I have no way of accomplishing it. Our engagement is nothing more than a marriage of the imperial court. In the end, it isn't about love, but rather a different purpose. How could I know if you would harm me for this purpose in the future? I'm only doing this to protect myself. Let me ask you, if I don't protect myself, who will protect me?"
/p
Prince Yue said resolutely, "I will."
/p
I sneered. "Your Highness, to put it bluntly, with your current situation and the status you received from birth, it is destined that you will not be able to protect yourself for the rest of your life."
/p
Prince Yue said, "Those people are just mortals. I don't care about them at all."
/p
These words were really strange. Who didn't have a body of flesh and blood? It wasn't as if they were made of steel and iron that couldn't be hacked to death. Moreover, what people were always afraid of between people was not real swords and real spears, but a brain and a heart. If both were black, the attack could really be comparable to a fully armed army with thousands of men and horses.
/p
I sighed and didn't say anything.
/p
Prince Yue laughed self-deprecatingly. "I originally thought that by hiding it from you and protecting you, I would be able to obtain your trust and let you live a peaceful life with me. But you weren't willing. You were suspicious, suspicious of the Tang family, suspicious of me, suspicious of everything. Fine, I told you everything you wanted to know. I opened up the Phoenix Tour for you to read. After knowing everything, you became even less trusting of me, Chuizhu." He moved closer to me, brushing past my cheek as he whispered my name into my ear. "Chuizhu, what do you want me to do?"
/p
I was speechless in the face of this accusation. It was as if what he said was the truth. The more I knew, the more danger I found myself in, and the less I trusted him.
/p
"I just want you to live well. What I want is your trust. Why won't you even give me this little thought? Chuizhu, what do you want me to do?"
/p
All of a sudden, he bit my earlobe and bit down hard.
/p
"I love you, Chuizhu. What do you want me to do?"
/p
I lowered my eyebrows. Pain could not shake my heart at all. It was just that the word 'love' involved too many things. It involved some things that I deliberately hid, deliberately buried, deliberately did not want or even need to think about. But now that Yue Wangye wanted to talk to me with his heart open, how could I resist his intentions?
/p
So I smiled at him. I reached out and pulled him in front of me. I looked back at the shock in his eyes and asked, "Who do you love?"
/p
"Who do you love?"
/p
"Is it Tang Chuizhu?"
/p
Although I asked him questions one by one, I didn't give him any time to answer. I asked him word by word, as if I wanted to carve the words into his bones with a sharp knife. I said, "I don't believe that you can use the words' love at first sight 'on your Highness. If there really was love at first sight, it was in the past. But your Highness, I am not the Tang Chuizhu of the past. I didn't experience the past you mentioned. I don't even know who I am, my Highness. "
/p
Emotions surged up and my voice became hoarse. I had to stop talking.
/p
"Your Highness," I whispered to him, "Your love has been given to the wrong person."
/p
I don't know who I am. I don't have the memories of Tang Chuizhu. Because of the Virgin Blood, I even suspect that I am not Tang Chuizhu himself. But there is one thing that can be confirmed. The past and the past that Prince Yue often talks about and stops talking about, those beautiful memories that he describes in his memory, the protection that he says, the person that he vows to love, is not me, is not the current Tang Chuizhu.
/p
I didn't talk about the past, and I didn't want to lie to him.
/p
The Prince digested it for a long time. He was silent for a long time. Then he asked me, "What about now?"
/p
"What now?"
/p
Prince Yue patiently explained to me, "I don't talk about the past. I don't talk about who I love. Now," he reached out and pointed at my heart, "in your heart, in your love, do you have me?"
/p
Do I?
/p
Once, I did. I occupied a small place because he carefully protected me.
/p
But now, I am constantly under threat. I can't even protect my life. How can I have the heart to care about love? What's more, we are partners bound together because of benefits. If I don't have these benefits, won't the protection and trust in front of me be in vain? At that time, the more deeply I believe, the more painful it will be.
/p
Why should I take the risk to hurt myself? Who in this world doesn't live and plan for themselves?
/p
So I answered him firmly, "No."
/p
The Prince of Yue's clear eyes trembled as he asked me, "Even if the word 'love' I spoke of had nothing to do with Tang Chuizhu of the Tang Manor, and I only used it on you, did I only speak of you?"
/p
He frowned and smiled. His eyes were filled with sadness and sorrow. "Chuizhu, you're smart. You've remembered the times when I couldn't hide my feelings and said it out loud. But you're really stupid. Why have I never called you 'Tang Chuizhu'? No matter how angry I was, when have I ever called you by this name?"
/p
The Prince of Yue gritted his teeth and gripped my shoulder so tightly that it seemed like he was going to crush it. "The past I'm talking about isn't the past you're talking about. The deep feelings I'm talking about, the heavens and the earth, are only for Chuizhu alone. What I'm saying is heartfelt words. Every word is like blood flowing into your heart. I'm only asking you one thing right now.
/p
His eyes were already blood red, and his paranoia was already dripping out.
/p
I gritted my teeth and raised my hand to break his grip on me. My shoulders lost the strength to withstand his attacks, but my body was in pain. I didn't know where the pain came from, but I shouted at him angrily, "I don't believe you!"
/p
How could I believe you?
/p
But as soon as I said this, I regretted it in my heart. I still had to live under someone else's roof. Doing this would undoubtedly make me unhappy. It really wasn't a wise move.
/p
I looked at Prince Yue cautiously. I didn't know what to do. For a moment, I didn't even know if I should look at him. But when I looked at his eyes, I saw that they were empty. They were as calm as still water.
/p
"I fell into your trap, broke through your formation, and poisoned you. I have a blood debt. But now, you are telling me that you don't love me and that you don't believe me. Chuizhu, have you changed? Or am I too conceited?" Prince Yue asked me softly. "I should be the one who knows your personality the best, but I can't figure it out."
/p
I wanted to refute him, but when I raised my head, I couldn't say a single word. Indeed, he set up a trap for me, charged through the formation for me, and poisoned the madam in the courtyard for me. These debts of blood were originally caused by my thoughts. These debts of blood should have been shouldered by me for a reason, but Prince Yue stood in front of me and shouldered it for me.
/p
I asked myself, if these crimes were placed on my shoulders, would I be able to bear them?
/p
I wouldn't be able to.
/p
Although I don't know if he is shouldering all this for me, or if this is something he needs to do for his Imperial Father and for his court. I am just a middleman who is handling this matter for him.
/p
Well, after this explanation, I didn't believe him even more. I didn't want to pretend to love him.
/p
I sighed and wanted to ease the atmosphere. I smiled at him and said, "Prince Yue."
/p
"I really want to kill the person who erased your memories." He suddenly said.
/p
I stared blankly.
/p
Prince Yue added some details, "Their souls will scatter, and their souls will no longer exist." “/p
/p
He looked at me fiercely, and the flesh around his eyes twitched.
/p
"You like to use your own methods to deal with danger. Fine, I won't interfere." He said, "I won't interfere with your matters again. You can play as much as you want."
/p
Looking at his serious expression, it seemed like he really intended to do this. It didn't seem like he was angry. My heart tightened, and I grabbed something that was nailed to the carriage. I asked him warily, "What are you doing?" He wouldn't throw me off halfway, would he?
/p
Prince Yue laughed, and his shoulders shook. He stood up with his back to me and said, "Princess, you can rest in this carriage. This prince will go out on horseback. The Mulan encirclement will take about three days. During these three days, Princess, you can stay in this carriage alone! "
