It was quiet late at night, and Yun Zijin was walking slowly along the corridor of the embroidery building. Rui Zheng remained silent, silently holding a lantern beside him.

On the autumn night, the entire Fanghua Hall was extremely quiet inside and outside, even the leaves of the trees were still, as if there was no trace of fresh life.

Unknowingly, Yun Zijin stepped into Liu Ruoyan's boudoir, and when he entered, he saw a graceful beauty lying on the bed with a light gauze curtain.

She has a beautiful face and her sleeping posture is still the same as before.

While sleeping, she still pursed her lips, and sometimes dreamed of something happy, with a smile on her lips, her hands raised above her head, slightly clenched with two small fists, looking cute and cute.

Yun Zijin stared at the little woman on the bed with deep eyes. From her delicate and beautiful face, she could vaguely see Huan'er's smile back then.

"What should I do, Yuan'er, tell me." He sat on the edge of the bed and murmured in a low voice: "Knowing that you are who she was back then, and knowing that you are not willing to forgive me at all, I can't help but fall into it. In the end,

How to break free..."

The confrontation with Yan Ye just now did not let him vent his depressed emotions, but instead made him feel even more depressed and uncomfortable.

No one understands his pain, so he can only talk to her here.

If she was still conscious in her sleep, she might be able to hear his heartfelt words and be willing to point him out a way out.

Since ancient times, deep love is the most painful thing.

He once didn't understand what being trapped by love meant, but he was completely obsessed with it when Huan'er committed suicide.

Then he spent twenty years thinking that he was sober. Unexpectedly, after meeting Liu Ruoyuan, he became addicted again.

The love is so deep that I can't extricate myself.

This is the biggest pain hiding deep in his heart!

He has already seen through life and death, as well as love and hate. He should be the most ruthless man in the world, but he just can't get past this word of love.

"Master, I have something to say."

Rui Zheng really couldn't bear to see him in such pain, so he couldn't help but say: "Even if the princess refuses to forgive you now, it is just a temporary gamble. After all...she will have to get married in the future, and she will not be alone all her life."

He knew a little bit about the past and present lives of the prince and princess.

I just didn't expect that the two princesses that the prince missed were the same person.

Isn't this fate destined by heaven?

What else does the prince have to do to be pretentious? He can just snatch the princess back domineeringly.

"What do you want to say?" Yun Zijin's eyes flickered, she turned to look at him and asked with a frown.

"I feel that women want stability throughout their lives. They hope to be pampered and cared for by their husbands, and to live a life of prosperity and wealth without worries about food and clothing. The princess has a high spirit, and other men may not be able to give her these things, but the master can."

Rui Zheng looked like a friend of women and men, and said earnestly, "As long as the prince satisfies what she wants, the princess can change her mind."

A woman must depend on a man after all!

As long as the prince makes the princess feel safe and trustworthy for life, her heart will naturally turn to the prince.

"What if the person she wants is the prince, or Prince Min?" Yun Zijin was unsure of Liu Ruoyan's intentions, and his deep eyes were full of confusion.

He used to be very confident and thought that no man in the world could compare with him.

If Liu Ruoyuan doesn't like him, she will never like other men.

But since Huan'er's soul awakened and Liu Ruo'an remembered the past of her previous life, his confidence began to collapse.

He thought about those things more than once and remembered the heartless words she had said to him.

And how they used and harmed her...

Yue Hengtang and Mrs. Nian, they have never been kind to her.

All this made him extremely uncomfortable and deeply affected.

He had to bear all the mistakes made by his biological parents and was unable to clean himself up.

She hates him, as she should.

It's understandable that she doesn't want to forgive him.

Especially tonight, after being severely hit by Yan Ye, his confidence has withered and is no bigger than a mustard seed.

"The princess is a smart and smart woman. She has been tied to her master in both past and present lives. The master must be her first choice of man. Is she going to be a concubine for the prince and King Min regardless of her status as a princess? What's the matter?

Maybe?" Rui Zheng was very rational and sober, and analyzed slowly and calmly.

"What's more, the princess has already married the prince, and the prince and Prince Min cannot marry her to avoid suspicion. Even if the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, he will not accept a former princess as his concubine."

The royal family attaches great importance to face.

No matter how much the prince and Prince Min liked Liu Ruoyan, they would never really marry her.

After all, for the sake of your future, you cannot spend your whole life being talked about.

Yun Zijin's brows were furrowed tightly, and there was a hint of anxiety in his deep eyes, as if he was facing some difficult problem.

He understands that this is the truth.

But people’s hearts are unpredictable!

Especially when it comes to feelings, women are never rational enough. Maybe Liu Ruoyuan got excited and agreed to the prince or King Min!

Yun Zijin was even more afraid of her anger, and would rather be a concubine than return to the palace to be Princess Jing.

Ruizheng continued: "The princess is getting close to the prince and King Min now, most likely to preserve the Liu Mansion and the prosperity for the rest of her life."

If a woman does not have a husband and her natal family is unreliable, she can only find some powerful backers.

This is also human nature.

"Keeping the glory for the rest of my life?" Yun Zijin's heart trembled, unable to suppress his depression and loss, feeling as if he had been abandoned.

"Could it be that she and I won't have any prosperity in the rest of our lives? Is I such a mean and stingy person? What makes her so insecure that she would rather leave the protection of the palace and have an affair with a wild man outside?"

When he thought of the close relationship between Liu Ruoyuan and the prince, Prince Min, his heart felt as if it had been severely pinched, making him feel sore and painful.

Even the words he spoke were full of sourness!

"Who said the prince is not mean and stingy..." Rui Zheng curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.

He has followed the prince for so many years and knows best his master's attitude towards women.

That dog-like temper would not be tolerated by any woman, let alone the princess!

"What do you mean? Say what you have to say!" Yun Zijin's eyes darkened, and there was a depth that was difficult to penetrate under his calm pupils, which inexplicably made Rui Zheng feel a sense of danger.

Before Rui Zheng could react, Yun Zijin's anger had already risen, and his tone was a bit cold, "When did I become so mean and stingy?"

Who are you calling mean?

Who are you calling stingy?

The prince is so unconvinced, he thinks he is the most generous to the woman he likes!

I have never been harsh on the princess, nor have I ever argued with her about anything.

Rui Zheng trembled all over, his expression twitched, and he stopped talking.

To say or not to say?

It sounds better to tell lies.

If you tell the truth, you will be silenced by the prince!

"Whatever you say, I won't blame you." Yun Zijin saw through at a glance that this kid was trying to make up lies to deceive people.

"Well……"

Rui Zheng forced himself to be strong and courageous, risking his head being blown off, and bravely recounted the prince's "mean and stingy" ways.

"The prince has never seriously given the princess a gift." He said with great certainty.

"I'll give her a new home." Yun Zijin said coldly.

"Then the new villa was not built by the emperor who paid for it and ordered the prince to supervise its construction for the princess?" Rui Zheng asked with raised eyebrows.

"...I gave her two boxes of white jade and pearls." Yun Zijin thought of this incident again.

"The prince clearly knows that those two boxes of things are bringing trouble to the princess. Fortunately, the princess is smart and scattered all the boxes of white jade. Otherwise, those things are not suitable for eating, drinking or wearing. If you keep them around, you will have to guard against them day and night.

Who cares if someone comes to rob me?" Rui Zheng said with great disdain.

"Besides, white jade is everywhere on Yuexian Island. If you go to the bottom of the lake and pick up a big pile, it looks like stones, so it's not worth anything."

Yun Zijin: "..."

At first, he just wanted to show off in front of the Crown Prince and King Min in a moment of anger, so he just sent it away without thinking so much.

"I bought fabrics, clothes, and weapons for the princess..." Yun Zijin thought for a moment and then said eloquently.

"What did the prince buy? A thousand bolts of silk and satin, and a long sword. Are you sure it's not to torture the princess?" Rui Zheng revealed the truth in one sentence.

Is playing machete really suitable for a princess?

The prince himself has no idea!
