Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Chapter 128 From now on, I love you

"Because..."

Originally, Yun Ji didn't want to lie to Nan Yingzhi, so he opened his mouth and confessed that he was living a new life.

But when the words came to his lips, Yun Ji thought of Nan Yingzhi's silence and the fact that she had been hiding things from him again and again.

Dissatisfied with her behavior, he couldn't help but stop talking in anger.

"This is a secret," Yun Ji thought for a moment and added, "Xiao Zhizi, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you either."

"Hiss, there is something you don't want to tell me, and I also want to keep it to myself," Nan Yingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So, are we evenly matched?"

Without saying "yes" or "no", Yun Ji shook his head: "Actually, I don't want to do that. It's the same thing as the other."

As if she didn't understand what he meant, Nan Yingzhi scratched his nose with her fingertips: "So what do you want?"

"I want to have no grudges against you," Yun Ji stretched out his hand and wrapped it around her arm, "Xiao Zhizi, can't you just tell me?"

Thinking about Yun Ji's original fate, Nan Yingzhi hesitated: "You might be sad if you know too much."

"How could it be? I don't know, that's why I'm worried." Looking at her with innocent eyes, Yun Ji acted like a spoiled child, "Xiao Zhizi, just tell me."

After thinking it over, she realized that it would be okay to tell him the truth, so Nan Yingzhi gave in: "Well, have you read the storybook?"

Lowering his head slightly, Yun Ji said aggrievedly: "You changed the subject."

"Not exactly," Nan Yingzhi moved her hand to Yunji's chin, rubbing it gently with her fingertips like she was soothing a cat, "This is just to give you some background information."

"Well," Yun Ji's eyes sparkled, "So you want to explain it to me now, instead of waiting until the hunt?"

"Yeah, I didn't want to be exposed so soon, but," Nan Yingzhi changed the subject, "Didn't you say that hiding it from you made you uncomfortable?"

Seeing him blinking his eyes, she couldn't help herself. She leaned down and kissed Yun Ji's cheek.

After being "sneak attacked" by Nan Yingzhi, Yun Ji's original question of "What does '落马' mean" evaporated like a raindrop meeting warmth.

He was both shocked and ashamed, and timidly closed his eyes. After a moment, he slowly opened them again: "You..."

"Qingchuan'er," Nan Yingzhi's voice was a little breathless after kissing his lips, as if it contained some lust, "I don't want to make you unhappy."

Feeling that something was not right with her, Yun Ji stiffened and stuttered, "You, calm down."

After the experience of taking a cold shower and eventually having a fever due to "unspeakable" reasons, Nan Yingzhi has learned to be free from desires and is no longer easily dominated by lust.

She took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress the evil thoughts that were looming in her mind.

When she found Yun Ji on her legs, she couldn't control herself at all. She put her arm around his waist and put him beside her: "You go down first."

Knowing that this was an extraordinary period and that his every move would most likely aid and abet the evil, Yun Ji obediently left her arms and did not make a fuss with her.

He even stood up, moved to the cupboard inside the house, fumbled for a cup, and poured a cup of cold tea for Nan Yingzhi.

"Drink this," Yun Ji walked over carefully, observing her forbearing expression, and handed her the teacup, "Take a moment."

Knowing that the martial arts competition to win the bride would only last for a few hours, Yun Ting would eventually come back. If they disappeared at the same time, it would be difficult to explain. Nan Yingzhi drank the cold tea in one gulp and slowed down her breathing.

"Time is running out, so I'll make it short," she said quickly. "Actually, this is a storybook I've read, and the world inside it."

Even though he didn't quite understand what she said, Yun Ji still stared at her without saying anything to disturb her.

"Didn't I say before that I came from another world?" Seeing him nod, Nan Yingzhi continued, "One night, I didn't sleep the whole night, and kept reading that storybook.

"By dawn, I had finished reading, but I was not feeling well anymore. I felt dizzy and somehow I entered the world of the book and became 'Nan Yingzhi', who has the same name as me."

After talking for a long time with great excitement, she asked Yun Jiwen for feedback: "Do you understand what I said?"

"I understand what you mean," Yun Ji said hesitantly, "but it's incredible that just by reading the storybook, you can enter the world inside. "

"It's really weird," Nan Yingzhi spread her hands, "So when you asked me why I came here and where the original 'Nan Yingzhi' went, I couldn't answer you at all because I didn't know either."

At this point, she was a little helpless: "I felt that I lived well in that world and could dedicate another 60 years to my motherland, but who would have thought that one day I would catch up with the time travel craze.

"But it asked me to come here, without even a golden finger, relying purely on my own strength. I just want to know, why did it ask me to come here?"

After listening to her inner journey, Yun Ji looked serious and said without hesitation: "I think you were sent by God to save me."

"Hmm?" Nan Yingzhi was surprised that Yun Ji would take her casual complaint seriously. "What do you mean?"

He wanted to lean closer to her, but was worried that the embarrassing scene just now would happen again, so Yun Ji knew his limits and didn't get too close.

He said sincerely, "Because when I'm with you, I don't have to scheme against others and I feel relaxed.

"Before you came, I was like a tool living for Dali. I was busy all day long, but no one cared. I worked day and night, devoted myself to it, and I wondered if I was tired.

“It’s a rare opportunity for me to have some free time, and I have no relatives or friends to keep me company.

“I know that Yun Ting is the crown prince chosen by my father, and power will eventually be handed over to him. I am just keeping it for him to manage Dali and help him gain real power as soon as possible.

“Therefore, my most painful time was when I just took over the mess left by my father and became independent, but I learned that the Queen Mother wanted me to teach the Crown Prince.

"During those days, I couldn't sleep all night, worrying that if I taught too strictly, the prince would be unhappy, and I was also afraid that if I taught too leniently, Yu Dali would suffer misfortune.

"I lost my appetite, but I dared not show even a hint of fatigue.

“Because many people, seeing that the late emperor is seriously ill and the prince is young, are eyeing this position covetously. If I am not careful, they will have the opportunity to take advantage of me.

"I will fall from my high position and become one of the corpses piled under the throne.

“So, I forced myself to abandon my cowardice. Even in front of Ling Feng and Ling Yu, I always held on and didn’t show any signs of fatigue.

“But even someone as strong as the Imperial Master would get hurt, let alone a mere mortal like me.

"I am an ordinary person in the four realms. I also get tired and exhausted."

Yun Ji originally thought that when he revealed his true feelings, he would not be able to control himself and would burst into tears.

But unexpectedly, under Nan Yingzhi's gentle gaze, he was able to remain calm and calmly recount the past.

“No matter how hard or tired I was, I didn’t dare to confide in anyone. I could only hide in the bedroom and lick my wounds alone.

"It wasn't until I met you that I realized that I also had time to rest.

"Little Gardenia, being with you makes me feel at ease for the first time in a long time, so your coming is not meaningless."

Faced with Yun Ji's behavior of opening up her wounds and displaying her bloody past before her eyes, Nan Yingzhi felt a little sad for a moment.

The book never mentioned that the process of the young regent, who went against all odds and supported Dali, was so bitter.

For a moment, all the words spoken seemed pale and powerless.

He wanted to say something but had no words, so Nan Yingzhi gently patted his hands, using body language to express her comfort.

When she touched me like this, the tears that had originally been well-behaved and had no intention of coming out suddenly filled my eyes.

Not wanting to show his weakness, Yun Ji subconsciously bit the tender flesh of his cheek close to his teeth to stop the tears that were about to burst out.

He didn't hold back, and the taste of blood immediately rushed into his throat.

Seeing that his eyes were red but he hadn't shed tears yet, Nan Yingzhi put her hand around the back of his neck and held him in her arms.

"Cry it out and say goodbye to the past. From now on, I will love you."
