Prince Jing took Ye Jiu away, and the horse beneath them ran swiftly; soon they had covered a great distance, and then, the pace slowly dropped, the two dismounted, pausing on a silent lane.
Prince Jing said he had sothing to tell her, but, half a day had passed, and he still had not spoken.
Ye Jiu couldn’t help but remind him, "Prince, what do you want to talk to about?"
"I had a dream last night!" Prince Jing looked at Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu was perplexed, "A dream, and does it... involve ?" Ye Jiu’s question was both a complaint and a cautious inquiry.
But Prince Jing just went on speaking for himself, "I dread of a little girl who looked very much like , wielding a huge sword that reached the sky; she fiercely chopped at , saying I only sow seeds without taking responsibility, letting her suffer in hardships for many years."
Ye Jiu was embarrassed, "Prince, you might be suffering from delusions!"
He even dread about wielding a huge sky-reaching sword; why didn’t he dream about wielding a at grinder instead?
Seeing Prince Jing’s unmoving gaze at him after finishing his words, Ye Jiu started to feel sothing was off.
Then, he instantly beca serious, "Prince, what exactly do you want to say, please speak plainly."
"Are you sure you want to speak plainly?" Prince Jing countered.
Ye Jiu’s unease grew stronger, and he instinctively wanted to flee, "It’s getting late, if I don’t return ho now, my family will worry. I’ll take my leave first; please do as you wish, Prince."
At the mont Ye Jiu turned to leave, Prince Jing stepped forward and grabbed her, "Jiujiu, if you are willing, you will be the only Commandery Princess of the Royal Residence!"
He indeed knew!
Was it the Princess Consort who told him?
"Prince is joking. I, Ye Jiu, am just a simple farm girl, what rit or ability do I have." Ye Jiu freed her hand and walked away.
But Prince Jing laughed behind her, only that the laughter was slightly bitter.
"I once believed that I was the favored son of heaven, born to be envied by others, being the legitimate second son of the main wife, not having to take on any responsibilities yet enjoying all the glory and wealth. But it wasn’t until yesterday that I realized that I am actually a complete fool!"
Prince Jing took a deep breath and said, "I have always been proud, never imagining that one day, I would be manipulated by two won of the inner court, letting my own flesh and blood with severe poisoning wander outside for decades. Jiujiu, were you planning to keep your identity hidden from your entire life, letting raise soone else’s son and dedicate everything unconditionally until I die with unopened eyes?"
Ye Jiu stopped, "Prince, since you know, then you should understand that in this matter, the Ye Family and Qin Zhou are the most innocent!"
Even if she was powerless, she always knew the truth, only they were the victims being deceived by the truth.
"Innocent?" Prince Jing scoffed, "Am I not innocent as well?"
If it were not for his accidental overhearing yesterday, he would have been kept in the dark his entire life, just as he had said, being a confused fool forever, ultimately unknowingly dedicating everything to soone else.
"Then what does the prince wish to do?" Ye Jiu asked.
Prince Jing had only one sentence, "To correct the chaos."
He knew that Ye Jiu was always intelligent, able to understand what he ant.
Yet, Ye Jiu disagreed, "Did the prince ever consider what about Qin Zhou?
After all, Qin Zhou has called you father for so many years, don’t you consider him at all?
From birth to now, he has always been the distinguished Princely Heir, suddenly being thrust from the heavens to the mortal world, can he accept it?"
