She practiced martial arts and killed people in Taoist temples, while he fought bloody battles on the battlefield.
She pretended to be weak and he pretended to be confused.
She thought she had hidden it from everyone except his eyes brought back from the battlefield.
Until late one night, she climbed through the window and went out to clean the door. When she came back, she bumped into him sitting beside her bed, cleaning the knife slowly.
The candlelight flickered, and he looked up at her, half smiling:
"Are you going out so late?"
Her expression remained unchanged: "I can't sleep, so I admire the moon."
He nodded and turned the blade——
"Looking at the moon and getting a body full of blood?"
She raised her eyebrows, and the poisonous needle in her sleeve slipped into her palm:
"What does the prince want to do when he breaks into a woman's boudoir late at night?"
He put away the knife and stood up, approaching step by step, trapping her by the window:
"I just want to know-"
He lowered his head and said in a low voice:
"How long can you keep pretending to be so delicate and weak?"
Subplot: The prince only doted on Xu Liangyuan, and he was so confused that he wanted to make his concubine and his destined daughter his equal wife.
Little did he know - what he abandoned was not a woman, but destiny.
She, Yu Yanqing, is the daughter of destiny.
Since he was blind, she would find someone else to help him.
——She chose the one with the deepest thoughts and the most ruthless methods among the princes, but the only one who promised that "if he becomes the emperor, he will not harm the people."
The third prince, Chu Haoxin, was recognized as a sinister person in the court and was shunned by everyone.
She was the only one who saw that what was pressing in his eyes was an ambition greater than that of a prince, and a sobriety deeper than anyone else's.
"I just want to tell you——"
"What I wanted from the beginning was not just this country."
Intention: small thoughts
