Deep affection, mutual love.
Zheng Nianru didn’t rush to speak but rely watched Zheng Congyuan quietly, who was sitting in front of her. Even though she had lived through two lifetis and so much had happened, Zheng Nianru’s thoughts had beco increasingly firm—her only regret was Zheng Congyuan.
Without Zheng Congyuan, everything else seed aningless. Yes, aningless; she had experienced that feeling before—as if not truly alive, as if plunging into icy cold waters.
Zheng Congyuan was like that beam of light piercing through the water’s surface, just as he was the first ti he ca into her sight, dazzlingly bright, her all-encompassing light.
Zheng Congyuan suddenly twitched his fingers, filled with extre unease and insecurity. If that man were not Ju Nanyi, the sa Ju Nanyi who had also saved Zheng Nianru once, the Ju Nanyi who during Nanzheng State’s existential crisis had saved it from fire and water, the dignified Ju Nanyi who made ladies from prominent families’ hearts flutter, then perhaps he wouldn’t feel so timid.
Zheng Nianru took a step forward, her light footsteps making no sound as she slowly crouched down beside Zheng Congyuan, who slumped in the chair, unable to lift his head or avoid her gaze.
"Your Majesty brother, you must know Nian Ru’s feelings," Zheng Nianru began slowly. There were things she had wanted to say only when everything had developed to a certain point, but it seed that now was the ti when she could no longer stay silent.
Zheng Congyuan shuddered, looking at the young girl in front of him. His mouth twitched, but he said nothing. Slowly raising his hand, Zheng Nianru’s hand reached out imdiately, clutching his like two parched fish, tightly held together.
In the next mont, Zheng Congyuan thought of sothing and tried to withdraw his hand; Zheng Nianru imdiately grasped tighter, not allowing him to pull away.
"Nian Ru, about this matter..."
Zheng Nianru shook her head.
"Your Majesty brother, I know I don’t understand court politics, but have you ever thought that perhaps the prophecy is real?" Zheng Nianru murmured.
Zheng Congyuan paused slightly, his gaze bewildered as he looked at Zheng Nianru, unsure why she suddenly brought up this matter.
Zheng Nianru slowly sat on the ground, the dim candlelight casting shadows on her profile.
"Maybe, Your Majesty brother, between and Nanzheng State, if you could only choose one, what would you choose?" Zheng Nianru asked earnestly, her eyes fixed on Zheng Congyuan.
Zheng Congyuan’s gaze was lost, and in the next mont, he seed to recall Ju Nanyi’s words.
Ju Nanyi was willing to give up everything. Why did he say that? Or, had Nian Ru said sothing to him?
The man imdiately looked at Zheng Nianru in front of him.
"Did you tell him..."
"I haven’t told him anything, nothing at all, forget it, I won’t ask you anymore..." Zheng Nianru suddenly panicked for a mont; she almost forgot that in her past life, Zheng Congyuan had already rejected her once.
"Nian Ru, it won’t be a choice between you and Nanzheng any longer; you already stand rightfully by my side," Zheng Congyuan spoke slowly, "Moreover, if Ju Nanyi dares to even think this way, he can’t be tolerated."
Zheng Nianru suddenly looked up at Zheng Congyuan. There was no choice?
But now, that mont of fate had already unfolded, so Ju Nanyi couldn’t die.
"Your Majesty brother, the only one who can lead the campaign to the Western Border is Ju Nanyi," Zheng Nianru said, grabbing onto Zheng Congyuan, who was about to speak, putting her hand over his mouth.
"Let finish. This plan can kill two birds with one stone. If Ju Nanyi can defeat Nann State, then Nanzheng State will be at peace. If he can’t, he naturally won’t be able to return from the Western Border. Whether he succeeds or not, the outco will be beneficial for us."
"If he doesn’t succeed, he now..."
"Does he want ?" Zheng Nianru asked, not avoiding the question, "Eunuch Du has already told ."
Zheng Congyuan imdiately looked at Zheng Nianru, slowly shaking his head, suddenly understanding why she had asked him if he would choose between Nanzheng State and her.
"Nian Ru, I won’t choose. For the campaign to the Western Border, I will appoint soone else," Zheng Congyuan said firmly.
"And then Ju Nanyi still controls the court affairs, what difference does it make from now?" Zheng Nianru spoke softly; everything Ju Nanyi wanted to do seed to be favored by destiny.
Zheng Congyuan was silent. Indeed, the Nian Ru before him had beco wiser, and those comforting words could no longer deceive her.
"Trust , all that I do is so that we can stay together forever. Also, I have a reason to send Ju Nanyi to the Western Border that he cannot refuse," Zheng Nianru said resolutely.
Zheng Congyuan looked at Zheng Nianru, realizing that perhaps it was just the brief distance between them lately, but he gradually felt that the Nian Ru in front of him seed to have matured a lot.
