Chapter 297 Make a Wish, I Love You
In late spring and early summer, the sun is warm.
Pear blossoms are blooming in the courtyard. The wind blows, and the fragrance of the flowers sways, which is particularly sleep-inducing.
Make a wish and sleep on the chair.
But she didn't sleep well.
Xu Yuan dreamed about her past life and saw Zhang Yue die in front of her.
Then, the scene changed, and Zhang Yue, dressed in white, broke into the palace, drew his bow and arrow, and assassinated the prince with the determination to die.
The imperial guards rushed out together, captured Zhang Yue and pinned him to the ground.
The blood gushed out little by little and spread to the entire world.
Zhang Yue, looking at her in a pool of blood, said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"do not want!"
Xuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.
The pear blossoms are falling, and the sunlight is mottled.
The heart was beating wildly in the chest.
It's a dream.
Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately it was just a dream."
After making the wish, I suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong.
She turned her head and her gaze met a pair of smiling eyes.
The young man smiled brightly, his brows were clear, and he looked at her in the same way.
Xu Yuan didn’t know how long Bei Yao had been there, nor did she know if she had muttered anything else in her sleep. She never thought that she and Bei Yao would meet again so soon.
Bei Yao took in Xu Yuan's surprise and said with a smile, "Why, are you so surprised to see me? Do you think I should be in the palace at this moment?"
"Yeah." Xu Yuan nodded slightly.
"That's your fault. You were impulsive and reckless. If I hadn't come, when you woke up, I'm afraid the first thing you would think of would not be looking for me, but robbing the prison. By then, I really wouldn't be able to save you."
"He is my brother, I can't just watch him die." Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao with a firm gaze: "Even if it means robbing the Heavenly Prison, even if he is hunted down by the court because of this, I will save him."
"Assassinating the prince is no different from assassinating the emperor. The Empress Dowager will save you, but she won't save Zhang Yue. Make a wish. Do you understand?"
Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly darkened.
How could she not understand?
Assassinating the prince would result in beheading at the least and execution of all nine generations of the family at the worst.
The Xu family might not be implicated, but if they wanted to save Zhang Yue, it would be extremely difficult. What's more, the emperor now particularly disliked her, but he had to pay attention to the Xu family case due to the pressure from the empress dowager.
But even so, Xu Yuan will not give up.
She raised her head, looked at Beiyao and said, "I understand, but I still want to save my brother."
Bei Yao felt a sudden pain in his heart.
After a long while, he asked, "If one day, I..."
"That day will never come." Xu Yuan shook his head and interrupted Bei Yao's words, "You are the Third Prince. Even if the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will not dare to embarrass you or threaten your life. The Third Prince does not need to use this reason to test me."
"You are quite smart." Bei Yao laughed.
Xuyuan didn't say anything.
Bei Yao raised his hand and poured a cup of tea. He did not give it to Xu Yuan, but took a sip himself and whispered, "You don't know my father. If I had known that you were planning this, I would have stopped you."
The tea was clear, reflecting the alienation in Bei Yao's smile.
"Make a wish. If the Imperial Grandmother doesn't come today, everything you do will be in vain."
"The Third Prince is trying to say that I can't save my brother, right?"
Beiyao nodded.
"But there is something fishy about this matter. My brother is thousands of miles away. Even if he gallops to the capital, it will take more than ten days. In such a long time, no one has noticed that the commander has left the camp. Don't you find it strange?"
Xuyuan asked back.
On the way back, Xu Yuan had almost sorted out the matter.
As long as the culprit is found out, there is a chance that Zhang Yue will not be punished.
I don’t want to give up on my wish without even trying.
"You mean to find out the truth about this matter and then tell my father that Zhang Yue was used, right?"
"That's right. As long as we investigate thoroughly, we will be able to clear my brother's name."
Bei Yao did not answer Xu Yuan's question, but asked: "Do you think there is enough evidence of the prince's rebellion?"
There were many things, but the emperor still pretended that nothing happened for the sake of his son.
Xu Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Bei Yao asked again: "Do you think there is enough evidence that the Xu family was wrongly accused?"
In the small courtyard, both of them fell silent.
After a long while, Bei Yao said, "Xu Yuan, you are too naive. This emperor is not the wise emperor in your mind. He does not look at the evidence, nor does he ask about the injustice. All he wants is the stability of the country. He does not care who is the mastermind behind this. He just wants the person who harmed the prince to pay the price. So I say, if I had known that you were planning this, I would have stopped you."
"What if?" Xuyuan asked, "What if it's different?"
"I'm his son, and I don't even dare to say anything different. Do you dare to bet?"
The gamble was lost, and the price was Zhang Yue’s life.
If she didn't gamble, she would have to watch Zhang Yue die.
"But I can't just watch my brother die. If there is really no other way, then I will die with my brother."
The wishing voice was very low.
But Beiyao heard it clearly.
Those few simple words, like the sharpest arrows, pierced deeply into his heart.
Bei Yao smiled in the mottled sunlight, but his voice was a little broken: "Make a wish, I said I would keep you safe, have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten, but I don't want to implicate you."
"I came out of the palace and came to find you without going back home. I told you so much, is this all you said?"
Beiyao was tired of hearing this.
"I know I'm not capable enough, and I don't have many strategies. I also know that with just one word from me, you will definitely help me save my brother. But Beiyao, I can't let you down any longer."
Xu Yuan's eyes dropped to Bei Yao's hand, "You and I are worlds apart. You should have a bright future, instead of disobeying your father again and again for my sake."
She couldn't take advantage of that friendship.
Too despicable and too shameless.
"Should I be happy that you are thinking about me, or should I be sad that in your heart, I am not even as good as Wu Shiming."
Bei Yao stood up. Under his white sleeves, his arms were shaking with pain, but he was unaware of it. He just said, "I have asked Master Qin to pack your bag. Tonight at midnight, Chen Shan and Master Qin will take you out of the capital."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately stood up, chased after Bei Yao and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I want you to live."
Beiyao stopped, he looked at Xuyuan and said word by word: "Even if you and I never meet again in this life"
"wrong."
Xu Yuan shook her head, trying to understand what Bei Yao meant by this sentence, but she couldn't figure out what it meant.
Xu Yuan was panicked, but Bei Yao smiled, and the smile gradually overflowed from his light-colored pupils.
Bei Yao asked: "Xuyuan, tell me the truth, in all this time, have you ever been happy with me for a moment?"
Xu Yuan was stunned. He didn't know why Bei Yao suddenly mentioned this, and he didn't know how to answer.
She hesitated to speak.
Bei Yao had expected this. Although he was a little disappointed, he was mostly relieved.
Bei Yao said: "But I like you, so why would I want to take you under my command? It's all an excuse. I am indifferent by nature. If I can't get it, I won't let others get it. But today I changed my mind. I hope you are alive. Rather than forcing you to stay by my side and deprive you of your freedom, I would rather let you go. The sky is high and the sea is vast, and there is joy everywhere."
Bei Yao finished speaking and turned to leave.
One step, two steps.
There was no sound of making a wish.
Finally, when he was about to lock the door, Bei Yao stopped and turned around and said, "Xuyuan, I won't see you off tonight. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and change my mind."
