You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 376: Past Life (2) A-niang said: If only she hadn’t saved you when she was 8 years old

"Is Father awake?"

Xiao Jingchen's eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing that he was happy, the steward also became happy and said:

"Yes, His Majesty has woken up and is thinking about the little prince!"

"Okay, I got it. You go in first and I'll tidy up my appearance."

After the steward went in, Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Zhaoyue with bright eyes and said happily:

"Mother, Father is awake!"

Xiao Jingchen was visibly happy. Lin Zhaoyue reached out and touched his head, saying:

"Chen'er, come in!"

Xiao Jingchen held her and said:

"Mother, accompany Chen'er in."

Lin Zhaoyue was silent for a while, but finally nodded.

Before entering, Lin Zhaoyue said:

"Chen'er, if your father asks about mother, Chen'er, just tell me what mother told you in the dream, okay? Mother is not ready for your father to know about her existence. If your father still asks, just tell me that mother said it would have been better if she had not saved him at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain when she was eight years old."

Her family is not dead, her son is still alive, the love poison, the death of her master...

These days she has been feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy, and doesn't know how to face Xiao Yan.

Speaking of hatred, it seemed like she had no reason to hate.

Xiao Yan just doesn't love her.

But she still felt pain deep in her heart, as if she was suppressing something that made her angry, manic, sad, and emotionally explosive, but she didn't know what it was.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes dimmed for a moment, then he smiled quickly and nodded:

"Okay, Chen'er got it."

Xiao Jingchen led Lin Zhaoyue in.

"Father."

A childish voice was heard, and the next moment Xiao Jingchen was seen taking small steps and rushing towards him.

Xiao Yan's right hand was still receiving an IV drip. When he saw him coming, he stretched out his left hand, picked him up and placed him on the quilt.

It was the first time that Xiao Jingchen saw Xiao Yan sick. He was shocked because he fainted for three days.

"Father!"

He shouted in a muffled voice and stretched out his little hands to hug Xiao Yan tightly.

Xiao Yun was wearing a pure black silk undergarment with her long silver-white hair hanging down on top.

The delicate eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a bit of sickness, and the lips were bright red.

He stretched out his hand and hugged him with his big hand, his long and broad palm almost covering Xiao Jingchen's entire back.

"I'm sorry to make Chen'er worried."

His gentle voice stirred Xiao Jingchen's eardrums. Xiao Jingchen could no longer control himself and tears fell down in big drops.

"Chen'er thought... thought that father was going to abandon Chen'er..."

Xiao Jingchen cried so hard that he was out of breath and his voice was sobbing.

Xiao Yan stroked his back soothingly and said:

"Father will not abandon Chen'er."

Xiao Yan coaxed Xiao Jingchen for a long time, until he recovered, then he waved his hand to let the others leave, looked at Xiao Jingchen with hope in his eyes, and said:

"Chen'er, tell me, who taught you those words that I said when I was in the stone chamber?"

Xiao Jingchen subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhaoyue, remembered her instructions, and said:

"It was Chen'er who dreamed that A'niang told Chen'er."

Xiao Jingchen had never lied to Xiao Yan before. When he said this, he lowered his head unconsciously and did not dare to look into Xiao Yan's eyes.

Xiao Yan could tell at a glance that Xiao Jingchen was lying.

He held his hand tightly and said:

"Chen'er, are you lying to your father?"

Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips, thinking of his previous "betrayal" of Lin Zhaoyue. He didn't want to make his mother sad again, so he raised his head, stared straight at Xiao Yan, and said:

"No, Chen'er didn't. It's just that Chen'er dreamed that A Niang was covered in blood. A Niang bled a lot."

On the day Lin Zhaoyue died, he dreamed of his mother covered in blood, which caused him to cry incessantly.

Xiao Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Before he could come to his senses, Xiao Jingchen's next words were like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

"Also...A-niang also said that it would have been better if she had not saved you at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain when she was eight years old!"

Xiao Yan's heart ached sharply and his brain suddenly went blank.

He looked at Xiao Jingchen's mouth opening and closing, as if he had suddenly become deaf and could hear nothing.

After a long while, he said with difficulty:

"Chen'er, what did you just say?"

"My mother said, 'It would have been better if she hadn't saved you at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain when she was eight years old.'"

So, the person who saved him at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain was Zhao Zhao, not Liu Yiyi.

He should have thought of it earlier, he should have thought of it earlier...

When they first met, he saved her because he thought her voice sounded familiar, so he looked at her twice more.

She was wearing a light green skirt and had an especially bright smile on her face. For a moment, he automatically brought that face to the little "Yiyi" who had saved him at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

He felt that she was very similar to "Yiyi" when she was a child.

And he didn't know what kind of magic she had that attracted his attention unconsciously.

When he realized that he had been looking at her for a long time, he felt guilty for betraying Liu Yiyi.

He looked away, but caught a glimpse of a mad horse charging towards her from the corner of his eye. He didn't even have time to think before his body had already rushed towards her.

He hugged her sweet and soft body, and the places where he touched her felt numb, numb all the way to his heart.

The boy didn't understand love. He thought she was here to kill him and drugged him. The special and strange throbbing in his heart suddenly turned into vigilance.

Since then, she has been pestering him.

She pestered him for two years, during which time he abandoned her and hurt her many times for Liu Yiyi.

But she was like a tireless little beast. Even if she was hurt, she would find a corner to lick her wounds quietly, and appear in front of him with a smile on her face the next day.

She is really stupid, she can fall asleep in his bed just by crawling on it.

It was summer and the weather was very hot. She stripped herself naked and climbed into his bed. Perhaps she had waited too long, so she fell asleep.

She had a bad sleeping posture, and when he opened the bed curtain, he saw her lying naked on his quilt. The girl had a graceful figure and a faint body fragrance.

The young man was full of vigor and anger, and the blood in his body was boiling.

She could always easily arouse his sexual desire, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

That was his first kiss, her lips were soft and had a girlish scent.

He was distracted and wanted to kiss her deeply, but was awakened by her moans and quickly backed away.

She opened her eyes and when she saw him, her face was filled with shame, but she still pretended to be calm and hooked her arms around his neck.

He threw her off the bed, called her shameless, and called her more reckless than a prostitute. He used all the bad words he could think of on her. She was really hurt that time and didn't come to see him for a whole month.

He was not used to it without her chattering in his ear, and even handling official business seemed monotonous and boring to him.

It was clear that when she was around, as long as he was handling official business, she would quietly read the storybook on the side, but he always felt that something was missing.

When he learned that she had been having a great time with others and was going to go boating with others, he was very upset. He didn't like Lin Zhaoyue playing with others. In the end, he followed her. When he got there, he saw her talking to another young master from aristocratic family. The two of them didn't do anything inappropriate, but he didn't know what they talked about. She was smiling happily, and he felt that smile was particularly annoying.

Go straight over and pull her away.

She was very happy that day, and before leaving, she asked him if he wanted to marry her.

He immediately said that he didn't want to, but who would have thought that not long after, she asked Duke Lin to help her arrange a marriage between the two in front of her father.

When he heard that his father was going to grant a marriage between the two, his mind went blank, but he felt a secret joy in his heart.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already agreed to their marriage.

But after agreeing, he felt that he had betrayed Liu Yiyi, because at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, he vowed to only marry Liu Yiyi.

He then requested that their marriage not be announced to the public for the time being.

Because he felt guilty about Liu Yiyi, he became increasingly cold towards Lin Zhaoyue.

He thought back to when they got married, it was supposed to be their wedding night, but he left Liu Yiyi alone in the empty room because she had a heart attack.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Liu Yiyi's heart illness was just fake, and she didn't want him to share a room with Lin Zhaoyue.

Not wanting to make Liu Yiyi sad anymore, he took Liu Yiyi back to the East Palace the next day on the pretext of recuperating.

He saw her loss and sadness, but he didn't care...

There are many more things like this.

After he brought Liu Yiyi back to the East Palace, whenever he stayed in their courtyard for a long time, Liu Yiyi's heart disease would relapse and she would call him over.

Every time he watched the light in her eyes gradually go out and his gaze gradually dim, he felt panic in his heart.

He didn't know how to balance the relationship among the three.

Being nice to Lin Zhaoyue would mean betraying Liu Yiyi, and being nice to Liu Yiyi would make Lin Zhaoyue sad.

At that time, the remnants of the previous dynasty were active frequently. He seldom went to the East Palace due to his busy government affairs, and almost always rested in his old residence in the imperial palace.

For a month, rumors were spreading outside.

It was said that Miss Lin II stole someone else's childhood sweetheart, but was neglected after marriage, and the prince didn't even dare to return to the East Palace...

When he heard those rumors, he was afraid that she would think too much, so he put aside his official duties and went to find her.

When she saw him, her eyes sparkled and she shouted in surprise:

"Husband, you are back!"

At that moment, he had an illusion that she was his wife, and no matter what he did, she would understand him and wait for him forever.

Because of this illusion, he later did many things that made her sad.
