" No, don't be like this." Yun 'er finally decided not to hesitate and not turn back. Her voice was still gentle, but there was a hint of hidden despair." Please don't be like this."”
Qin Zihe was frightened by Yun 'er's sudden burst of tears. He was a little flustered and hurriedly pulled the reins to stop the horse." Don't cry." Don't cry."
"Please, don't." Since she had already made up her mind to leave, she didn't want more people to know that she had interacted with him before. Otherwise, her departure would embarrass him.
"Don't want what?" Qin Zihe wiped the tears from her eyes and asked gently," Do you want to tell everyone not to attack the State of Yue?”
"…Don't tell everyone." Yun 'er looked at his bright eyes, bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but she still said something against her heart. If I told you not to attack the State of Yue, how could you agree?
"Why?" Did she know that this request of hers made him feel even more heartbroken than asking him not to attack the State of Yue? No, he could still accept and understand not to attack her country, but this request of hers made him feel as if he had lost his breath. Being his wife, his woman, and letting all his subordinates understand her status, wasn't that good? Was she embarrassed?
"Don't ask me why. Please. Don't, okay?" Yun 'er knew that if he couldn't say the reason, he could only choose to escape.
Although Qin Zihe felt his heart ache and all the blood in his body seemed to be sucked dry, he still gave in and nodded when he saw her pleading eyes.
"Thank you." Yun 'er said softly and apologized silently in his heart.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down and her tears had subsided, Qin Zihe put away the bitter smile on his lips and squeezed his horse's belly. The two figures who were hugging each other slowly walked forward.
They did not see that in the dense conifer forest behind them, a pair of eagle eyes were staring at them fiercely. After staring for a long time, he clenched his hands by his sides and clenched his teeth so tightly that he almost burst out with hatred and anger to swallow their backs.
That night, after Yun 'er finished eating, he excused himself from feeling ill and went back to his room early. Qin Zihe did not suspect anything and was considerate enough to remind him. He also asked the maidservant to make ginger soup and send it over.
There was something unusual between the two of them. Even Zhuo Jue could tell that something was wrong.
Moreover, Qin Mu, who was at the side, looked between the two of them. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"No need for ginger soup. I'm not catching a cold. I'm just a little tired.”Yun 'er refused. She had to prepare alone tonight without being disturbed by anyone.
" Ginger soup isn't medicine. It's always good to drink some." Qin Zihe didn't intend to persuade her. His chauvinism began to play tricks in front of everyone again, as if he was using his actions to declare that she was mine. With this thought in mind, he turned around and said to the maid beside him," Send a bowl of hot ginger soup to Master's room in four hours."”
"Yes." The maidservant naturally agreed without hesitation.
" You..." Why do you have to be so mean to me, and in front of so many people, so that she can't refute---Are you in such a hurry to declare your ownership?
Yun 'er clenched his fists. He really wanted to take big strides forward to break the smug smile on his face.
"Have a good rest." Qin Zihe looked at her with a satisfied and proud smile in his eyes, but his tone was domineering and considerate.
Seeing so many people present, Yun 'er could not flare up. He could only grit his teeth and leave in a fit of pique.
Qin Zihe watched her leave quickly because of her embarrassment. He couldn't help but smile cunningly.
Qin Mu glanced at him, then looked deeply at that back. He silently stirred the white rice in his bowl and took a bite, chewing thoughtfully.
After dinner, Qin Zihe was in a good mood because of the little episode just now. He did not notice Qin Mu, who had been following him into the study.
"Big brother, forgive me for being presumptuous. I have something important to tell you about that Yun 'er.”
"Tell me." Although he answered that, Qin Zihe was still immersed in his own thoughts. The dimples on the corner of his mouth did not fade.”Qin Mu, who had been standing at the side, interrupted his thoughts impatiently as if he had something important to say.
Qin Zihe let out a long sigh of satisfaction and then leaned back lazily in the recliner." Yes, I'm listening.”
Qin Mu spoke carefully and tirelessly as if he had something to say." Big Brother, I said last time that she's the princess of the enemy country, Qi Yun 'er. She's also the cold-faced killer that the outside world has been rumored to have…"
Qin Zihe rubbed his aching nose and interrupted him impatiently." Qin Mu, you're getting more and more long-winded. Get to the point."”
" Big Brother," Qin Mu's tone softened and he took a deep breath." Have you fallen in love with her?"”
Qin Zihe's attention was instantly attracted by him. His eyes were fixed on Qin Mu's face like nails. After a moment of silence, he smiled in relief." You found out? Yes, I'm in love with her."
"Big brother!" Qin Mu's voice suddenly raised an octave." How could you? Could it be that what everyone said is true?"
"Why can't I? Everyone said so? What did the others say?" Qin Zihe's tone was still casual, as if he did not take his words to heart at all.
"She is the princess of an enemy country!" Qin Mu's voice was low as he tried his best to control his emotions.
"So what?" Qin Zihe glanced at his excited cousin indifferently. He was inexplicably nervous about something." Aren't we the only ones who know this secret?”
"Big brother! Can you not be so indifferent?”Qin Mu seemed to have suppressed it for many days, but in fact, he had been suppressing it for a long time." Everyone said that you were bewitched by this woman, so you gave up the great opportunity to destroy the State of Yue. You hugged the beauty and wanted to return home like an arrow! Do you know about this?!"
"Who is so bold as to spread rumors in my army?”Qin Zihe's half-closed eyes opened instantly. His eyes were filled with terrifying anger as he growled hoarsely.
" Don't look into who it is. There are many people. I've heard a lot of such words." Qin Mu was genuinely concerned about him, so he had been helping him suppress these gossips for so many days. However, when he saw the two of them cuddling intimately in the forest riding horses this afternoon, he could no longer watch his most beloved big brother be destroyed by that woman who could not tell if she was friend or foe. Wake up! She's not the woman you should fall in love with!”
" Brother, don't tell me," Qin Zihe calmed down and tried to restrain his urge to rush out and kill those people who spread rumors and caused trouble. He glanced at him coldly." Do you think I made this decision because I was bewitched by her?"”
" It's not bewitching." Qin Mu shook his head, his face filled with despair." It's love, Big Brother. I believe that a honey trap won't bewitch you. You're doing this because you've fallen in love with her."”
Qin Zihe was stunned and didn't say anything.
"Really?" Qin Mu looked at him with an indescribable feeling in his heart. His cold and heartless big brother finally had feelings and finally understood the need to love someone. He should feel lucky that he was resurrected. But why did it have to be the princess of Dayue?
"Yes." Qin Zihe pursed his lips. Since the other party was his cousin, there was nothing to hide. He just had to admit it.
Qin Mu really didn't expect him to admit it so calmly, so he looked at him in surprise.
" Don't look at me like that." Qin Zihe glanced at him and smiled brightly." This isn't my funeral."”
"Big brother! Why are you still in the mood to joke?" Qin Mu was really worried for Qin Zihe, but he didn't care at all." If you really choose to let Yue go because of this and bring the princess of the enemy country back to the capital, you will really lose your morale. Besides, she can't keep her life."”
"As long as no one knows that Yun 'er is the princess of Da Yue, she will be safe, right?”
"Paper can't hide the truth. Besides, such a huge secret is on you. Can you protect her well?”
"Why don't you know that I can't?”Qin Zihe retorted unwillingly.
"What about losing morale? Don't you care?" Qin Mu couldn't find any words to refute him. He knew that he could.
"I don't care." Qin Zihe turned his face away. It would be a lie to say that he did not care, but since he had made up his mind to protect her, he had to give up some things. In his eyes, nothing could compare to her.
"Big brother!" These are the soldiers you've led for twelve years!
However, Qin Zihe swallowed the rest of his words." The morale of the army has been lost, but it can still be recovered. Besides, I've already decided to hand over the army to you.”
Qin Mu was somewhat shocked by him. He saw a big brother who was staking everything on the line and was thinking about what he should use to persuade him to turn back.
" Even if you can," Qin Mu returned to the topic from before and calmly analyzed. Since his elder brother was blinded by love, then he would play the role of a cold and realistic person." Are you sure Qi Yun 'er thinks the same as you?”
" I…" This question stumped him. He…was really…not sure.
Qin Mu saw the flickering confidence in his big brother's eyes like a candle that had been extinguished. He understood that the confidence was just a mask. Qi Yun 'er still did not give him the happiness and security of true love.
Facing him like this, Qin Mu could not say anything to blame him.
Qin Mu was silent. In the end, he could only take a step forward and pat Qin Zihe's shoulder heavily. He shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave the study.
The wind came in through the gap in the door and blew out the candle flame.
Qin Zihe sat alone in the darkness for a long time without moving.
