After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Thinking back to the past, when she received the Empress Dowager's imperial decree granting her marriage, her heart was like a turbulent ocean and could not calm down.

At that moment, a bold and crazy idea flashed through her mind - to elope with Sheng Mingfei!

Escape from the complicated constraints of the palace and pursue the free world that belongs to them.

Unfortunately, reality is often more cruel and ruthless than imagination.

Faced with He Yuehuan's deep affection, Sheng Mingfei gave her a heartbreaking answer.

"My lady, your love is as deep as the sea. Mingfei feels ashamed and has no way to repay you. However, I cannot possibly agree to your request."

Then, he continued, "My love for you is sincere and deep, but how can I bear to let you wander around with me and suffer? Therefore, today our relationship ends here."

After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking back, leaving He Yuehuan standing there alone, tears streaming down her face and a broken heart.

He Yuehuan will never forget that scene - she watched Sheng Mingfei's back getting farther and farther away, her heart overwhelmed by endless despair and sorrow.

Once, she naively believed that she had found true love, and was even willing to give up everything to follow him, but the cruel reality gave her a heavy blow.

"Why...why don't you want to leave with me..." He Yuehuan murmured dejectedly.

The nightmare suddenly woke her up from her deep sleep, and her face was already soaked with tears.

She didn't even know when she fell asleep, and she dreamed about her past with Sheng Mingfei.

He Yuehuan stroked her face gently, then let out a bitter self-deprecating laugh.

The so-called sincerity or insincerity actually already had clues, but I was so happily immersed in it at the time that I didn't pay any attention to those signs.

He Yuehuan calmed down in the room alone. After a long time, her mood finally improved a little.

She slowly pushed open the door and saw Wang Qi still standing quietly in the yard waiting for her.

Wang Qi also saw her coming out, and a friendly and warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he waved to her enthusiastically.

On the stone table was a plate of He Yuehuan's favorite rice cake, which was emitting steam, and was obviously just made.

The familiar fragrance filled He Yuehuan's nose, as if instantly dispelling the haze in her heart.

He Yuehuan moved forward slowly and hesitantly, as if every step was carrying a heavy burden.

She silently reached out her hand, gently picked up a piece of cake, put it into her mouth, and carefully took a small bite.

The familiar yet distant taste instantly spread across the tip of the tongue, evoking countless memories and emotions.

Tears blurred her vision, but He Yuehuan stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She bit her lip, trying hard to suppress the grief and resentment in her heart.

"I'm sorry..." The voice was as soft as a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

However, these three simple words contain endless regret and self-blame.

Wang Qi was always doing this for her own good, but she didn't know what was good for her and still wanted to hit her.

"In fact, I know very well in my heart that he has been deceiving me."

He Yuehuan took a deep breath and continued, "There were so many people coming and going on the street, why did those robbers choose to attack me? Moreover, there were several servants beside me at the time."

Having said that, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, her eyes full of self-mockery.

"At that time, the robbers had just kidnapped me, and he appeared at the scene. Everything happened so coincidentally?"

The more He Yuehuan thought about it, the angrier she became. She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

Wang Qi listened quietly to He Yuehuan pouring out her distress and grievances. She frowned slightly, and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes.

Looking at He Yuehuan's eyes that were already red and swollen from crying, she couldn't help but stretch out her arms, gently embraced her, and comforted her softly: "It's all in the past. We can't always stay in the shadow of the past. We should look forward bravely."

This sentence was said to He Yuehuan, and also to myself.

Feeling Wang Qi's warm embrace and caring words, He Yuehuan calmed down a little.

She choked up and said, "But I really can't accept it! Why was I so stupid back then that I couldn't even see through the lies he told?"

Before she finished speaking, she sneered again, her tone full of sarcasm, "Perhaps he thinks that I will soon marry into Prince Yu's mansion and become a princess, so he wants to draw a line with me as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."

After saying that, He Yuehuan sighed heavily, as if he wanted to expel all the pain and helplessness out of his body with this breath.

Wang Qi sighed deeply and said helplessly: "I guess this is it, otherwise how could there be no news at all after so long?"

"As far as I know, he left Tongzhou after you entered the mansion. I'm afraid he has already gone somewhere!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qi suddenly seemed to have noticed something strange. He stretched out his hand and pushed He Yuehuan away with force.

Then, she opened her eyes wide and yelled at the top of her voice: "Do you know that this new dress is my favorite before I got married? It is definitely not for you to wipe your dirty nose!"

Despite the deep friendship between the two, Wang Qi really couldn't tolerate He Yuehuan rubbing all those sticky, wet snot and tears on himself.

Facing Wang Qi's rebuke, He Yuehuan knew she was in the wrong, so she quickly put on a smile and said in a flattering way, "Okay, okay, my dear sister, it's all my fault. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me!"

After saying that, she reached out and gently pulled the corner of Wang Qi's clothes, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Seeing that Wang Qi was unmoved, she hurriedly continued to pretend to touch the corners of her eyes, "I really can't accept it. How could he deceive me like this? Every time I think of this, sadness surges into my heart like a tide, and I can't control myself."

"However, as you said, I should move on. From now on, I will never think about that ungrateful person again!"

Wang Qi stared at He Yuehuan's resolute expression, and felt a little relieved in his heart: "Yes, that's the truth. It's really worthless to be sad for such a heartless person."

"When this matter is settled, you may as well ask Uncle He to go to His Majesty and ask for a favor to find a good match for you."

"You know, there are countless young talents in this imperial city, just like the stars in the sky. Are you worried about not being able to find a suitable husband to be your husband?"
