A young girl in fine clothing stood at the edge of a cliff, with the assassin who had driven her to this point behind her. 。Princess Yan Zhaoxi, the third daughter of Liang Kingdom, was sent to Qi Kingdom as a princess through marriage. The purpose was to foster good relations between the two countries and make their alliance more stable and close. 。Some people are not pleased with this development. 。At the juncture where the Qi envoy's procession met with the Liang delegation escorting their princess, assassins lying in wait sprang forth. 。From their movements, it can be seen that this was done by the person behind the scenes to avoid future trouble. 。If she hadn't been a princess and trained in martial arts for protection, Yan Zhaoxi would have likely died in her carriage long ago. 。Yan Chao'xi turned around, her cold eyes fixed on the pursuers before her. She let out a sneer: "Tell me who is behind you! Don't treat Yan Chenkun and Helan Yunyi as fools!" The leader was somewhat surprised, but this wasn't something these assassins sent to do their duty should concern themselves with. 。"Third Princess, please take to the road!" The moment the long sword pierced Yan Zhaoxi's chest, she kicked the man in front of her abdomen, forcing him to retreat. 。This kick served two purposes: to pull the long sword away from his body, and to use its momentum to propel him backward over the cliff. 。It's fortunate they weren't left a body to play with, wouldn't you say? Yan Chao closed his eyes, a wry smile twisting his lips. 。I'm sorry, brother. 。The dawn has come to seek you… Liang Guo's third princess, Yan Chaoxi, is dead. 。She died at the age of eighteen, on her way to Qi State for a political marriage. 。。Yán Zhāochǎng opened her eyes with some difficulty. 。The weight pressing down on her and the pain coming from her abdomen left her disoriented. 。She remembered that she had fallen off a cliff. How was she not dead? Instead— when she could see her surroundings, she suddenly realized that this was the palace, the bedroom of her twin brother. 。The weight pressing down on her must be?! She couldn't care about anything else, straining to lift her hand and push the weight off of her. The pain from the foreign object being pulled out from her abdomen made her gasp. 。She was reborn. 。Reborn to the day she regretted the most <<< 。She pushed aside the heavy object, which was none other than her twin brother Yan Chenyu, who had died protecting her. 。If it weren't for her outlandish idea of the two of them switching clothes, Yan Chenyu might not have died protecting her. 。Regret, heartache, resentment—all the negative emotions surged out. 。She suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, tears streaming down her face. Yan Zhaoxi hugged Yan Chenyu tightly, who was already cold to the touch. 。She hates 。Hate myself for being unable to protect himself, but he died because of it. 。She resented 。Blaming heaven for giving her a second life, but not one that was earlier in time. 。The palace gradually fell silent, with only the increasingly faint sound of breathing. 。Yán Cháoxī gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stay conscious. She couldn't afford to lose consciousness just yet. 。She knew that someone would be coming soon, and she couldn't just drift through life like she had in her previous life, waking up three years later. 。"Chenyu! Chao-xi!" She looked up at the sound, and the figure appearing at the entrance to the hall filled her with hope. 。It wasn't anyone else, it was their own half-brother, the eldest prince Yan Chenkun. 。“Big brother…” “Chao Xi! You, you don’t speak anymore. Big brother is going to call someone over” 。"Hold on!" Before Yan Chenkun could finish his words, Yan Chaoxi reached out and grabbed his wrist tightly, interrupting him. 。"Chao Xi is dead, big brother, Chao Xi is dead!" Yan Chen Kun looked at the two in front of him with some surprise upon hearing her words. 。He knew that the twins, being young, were very similar in appearance and build. In the past, they often swapped clothes to play pranks on others. 。At that glance, he understood the meaning behind Yan Zhaoxi's words. 。"Have you thought it through?" Yan Zhaoxi nodded. 。The royal lineage is rather sparse, with only four princes and three princesses, including the two of them. 。Although the emperor was indecisive, he was not stupid. Yan Chenkun, as the crown prince, had just turned eighteen, and at this time the emperor had not yet established a crown prince. 。At this juncture, the news that a prince had been murdered was far more serious than the princess's demise. 。In a past life, it was like this. 。The Third Prince, Yan Chenke, had no intention of vying for the throne; he only wanted to be a carefree prince. 。But the second prince Yan Chenxu was ambitious. He was about the same age as Yan Chunkun, and he was extremely arrogant, believing that he was more suited to the throne than the eldest prince, Yan Chunkun, who was praised by everyone. 。Had it not been for the later plot to murder the Emperor and frame Yan Chenkun, which was exposed in court, people would never have known that the intelligent Fourth Prince had also been murdered by the Second Prince. 。Yan Zhaoxi was also gambling, she gambled that the emperor would definitely agree to her outlandish request. 。She watched as Yan Chenkun clenched and unclenched his fist, let out a sigh, then clenched it again. 。Footsteps outside the hall grew clearer, but Yan Zhaoxi, having lost too much blood, could no longer hold on. Her consciousness gradually became hazy. 。Before she completely lost consciousness, she finally heard the answer she wanted. 。When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in bed. 。This is not a dream. 。。"Chenyu, you're awake." 。Upon hearing this, he looked over and saw the emperor sitting beside her bed, his hand clasped in hers, his eyes slightly red. Their father seemed to have agreed. 。Otherwise, how could he have called her "Chen Yu" at this moment? 。They are the Queen's children. After giving birth to Yan Chenkun, the Queen's health was no longer as robust as before. 。When she became pregnant again, the Empress insisted on giving birth to their child. She even argued with the Emperor, who was worried about her health. 。Production is a big deal, let alone twins. 。"My dear, there's more to this chapter! Please click on the next page to continue. It gets even more exciting! Although she was fine during childbirth, it took a toll on her already weak body. Even with all sorts of rare and precious things used to care for her, she still passed away within a few years." 。After the Empress's death, the Emperor did not establish a new Empress. 。Whenever this topic came up, he would impatiently interrupt. 。But no one knew whether the emperor's decision was due to his deep love for the empress or the fact that none of the other concubines were capable of shouldering such a responsibility. 。In this regard, their relationship with this father was very stable. 。The emperor also showed some favoritism towards them. 。Anything unusual would be given to them straightaway. 。He probably agreed to her outlandish request because there was a reason for it. 。"Your son... pays his respects to the Emperor." 。Before he could rise, the emperor pushed him back down. He patted Yan Chao'xi's shoulder and said: “Since you are injured, you are exempt from these” 。The emperor beckoned the imperial physician standing by his side and gestured for him to come forward so he could examine 。"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has awakened. His pulse is much steadier now." 。From now on, just take the medicine and change the dressings on time, and rest quietly, there will be no major problems. 。“Alright, Chen Yu, can you hear me?” 。These days, you will be taken care of by Doctor Fu. If you feel unwell, please tell him in time. 。I will also come and see you when I have time. 。The emperor paused for a moment, letting out a sigh so faint that only he could detect it. “Rest well,” he murmured, and then, “... I’m leaving.” 。“Chen Kun, pay more attention.” 。Just drop by to see Chenyu when you have nothing to do. 。“Your son understands, your son bids farewell to the Emperor.” 。After confirming that the emperor had left, Yan Chenkun waved his hand to signal the palace maids attending in the hall to temporarily retreat outside the door. Only the two of them remained in the room. 。Yan Chenkun opened his mouth several times, wanting to call Yan Chaoxi's name, but he swallowed it back each time. Even if he asked others to leave, at this chaotic moment, it was inevitable that there would be unforeseen complications. 。He dared not, and could not, call his beloved sister "Chao Xi" at this time. 。Both Yan Chenkun and Yan Chaoxi knew that there wouldn't be many chances to call this name again in the future. 。“While you were unconscious, Father and I had already discussed this.” 。Everything will be alright, don't worry. 。"Yan Chenkun sat down by the edge of the bed. Looking at his sister's pale face, he felt a pang of heartache. "You can rest assured about Dr. Fu. Otherwise, Father wouldn't have specifically requested him to take care of you." 。"I understand... Thank you for your effort." 。“Back to the Emperor's side, Dr. Fu's eldest grandson, Fu Ziyao, will enter the palace as your companion reader. He is a bit taller than you and has learned medicine from Dr. Fu since he was young.” 。He's a smart one, but he'll be with you day and night. You decide if you trust him. 。"Good" 。Noticing Yan Zhaoxi's unwell state, Yan Chenkun stopped talking. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, comforting her like he did in their childhood. 。"Sleep, brother, I'll always be with you." 。>After the funeral, there truly is no more Yan Chao Xi in this world. 。 |
