Crazy childhood sweetheart always thinks of me

I was on my way home. According to my memories from my previous life, Prince Yongding's rebellion should not harm Yun Hance, so I didn't have to worry about anything.

Wait, I'm worried about him? What on earth am I thinking? Why should I worry about him? His martial arts, the army of the Zhenbei Palace, his secret guards, even if the Yongding King forces the emperor to abdicate, they are not enough for him.

But I don’t know why I felt a little panicked, and I suddenly realized that I was a little abnormal.

As for what's abnormal, I can't tell.

Since I didn't have to go to the academy, I stayed at home and took care of the vegetables peacefully. The leaves of the vegetables have turned green, and the chicks and ducklings have grown a lot bigger and are chirping. The whole yard is full of the smell of chicken shit, but I didn't care. I sat by the fence, fed the chickens, and lay under a tree to bask in the sun. Most of the summer has passed, and there is a cool breeze under the tree. I lay on the recliner and slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, I was forced to lie on my back on the ground, with two rough servants holding down my hands and feet. Sticks as thick as arms were hitting my abdomen again and again. I was shaking with pain, as if every breath was painful. Cold sweat kept breaking out. I asked myself over and over again, is it worth it to enter the Eastern Palace?

Before I fainted from the pain, I saw Zhu Hanxu’s cold and arrogant face.

When I woke up, I saw myself sitting in the main hall of Yongshou Palace. Yun Hance was walking towards me. Someone stabbed a sword from behind me. A trace of fear suddenly flashed in Yun Hance's eyes. It was incredible to see such an expression on his face.

He rushed over and hugged me who was already lying in a pool of blood. He held me tightly and whispered, "Ranran, don't die, please don't die. I'll take you away. Let's leave the capital, okay? I don't want anything. Wake up, I beg you."

I felt as if my soul had left my body when I saw this scene. I stared at it for a long time and suddenly had a guess in my mind: He? Like? Me?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I immediately rejected it. Not to mention after I entered the Eastern Palace, he had never been kind to me since I was a child. But he cried so sincerely, his tears were like beads falling from a broken string. It was the first time in my life that I saw him cry. He was also very handsome, so I felt a little bit of pity in my heart.

All the illusions became extremely real. He chopped the guard leader Wan Ying, who was trying to assassinate me, into a pulp with a knife like a madman. His eyes were bloodshot. He cried and laughed at the same time. His blood all over his body and face looked scary. "Ranran, I will save you. I will definitely find a way to bring you back to life."

The scene was extremely bloody and cruel. I don’t know if I was scared, but I couldn’t react for a long time when I looked at him.

The illusion changed instantly. He knelt on the ground. Xiao Jue, who had already ascended the throne, looked at him coldly: "Are you so afraid of her death? Are you attracted to her?"

Yun Hance did not deny it. He held his head high and did not think there was anything shameful about coveting a married woman.

His voice was still cold and without any warmth: "I like her, but she doesn't know it. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, just punish me. She entered the East Palace innocently and of humble status. Please, Your Majesty, take into account the injustice she has suffered and punish her lightly. Fifty slaps is too much."

Xiao Jue usually smiles, but this time he has a cold face, even colder than Yun Hance, and his voice is even more chilling: "Want to plead for her? Why don't you take thirty strokes of the cane for her? Otherwise, I will be furious. My 100,000 soldiers were killed because of her brother's wrong decision. If I let it go easily, wouldn't it chill the soldiers at the border!"

Yun Hance was relieved and said without hesitation: "I am willing to accept thirty strokes of the cane for the Empress Shufei. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

I stood aside, too shocked to speak. Yun Hance, the boy who had been arrogant and unkind since childhood, was kneeling there. Two guards came over from both sides, holding thick and long military sticks in their hands. They hit Yun Hance with one stick each like ferocious beasts. He lay on the ground, clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. I looked at the blood on his back and saw that the clothes on his back were soaked with blood.

Standing in front of the dragon table, Xiao Jue, dressed in a bright yellow eight-clawed dragon robe, was indeed watching with great interest. Suddenly, an inexplicable anger rose in my heart.

The Imperial Guards' sticks did not stop hitting Yun Hance, who spit out blood and had a pool of blood on his back. My heart ached so much when I saw this that I leaned over and blocked his back without thinking much. Unexpectedly, the stick went through my body and still hit Yun Hance. Yun Hance groaned, his jawline was tense, and his teeth were clenched to prevent himself from making any sound of pain.

After being beaten one after another, I gradually became discouraged and disappointed. I always blamed him. After all, we were childhood sweethearts. He was extremely powerful, but he didn't care about me at all. It turned out that he had tried very hard to protect me. However, no matter how powerful he was, he had to listen to the emperor. Moreover, judging from Xiao Jue's gloomy look, he probably didn't trust him much. His power was probably not as great as when the late emperor was alive.

There was still no pain in his body, but Yun Hance finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground. He clenched his fists and tried to kneel straight. Blood kept coming out of the corners of his mouth, and he wiped it with his hand, getting his hands covered in blood.

I cried and repeated, "Yun Hance, why are you doing this? Get up, don't do this, I beg you not to do this."

But he couldn't hear it. Xiao Jue raised the corners of his lips: "Lord Yun, are you still going to protect my beloved concubine?" He raised his eyebrows: "It's only twenty strokes, there are still ten to go. If Lord Yun continues to be tortured, I'm afraid his life will be in danger!"

There was no flinching on his face: "Continue the execution!"

Xiao Jue's expression became obviously uglier, and I could even see murderous intent. I remember that at the beginning, the prince tried his best to try to please Yun Hance, after all, Yun Hance was a close minister of the late emperor.

But at this moment, he ascended the throne and became emperor, and Yun Hance, who had been flattered by him before, was now just mud under his feet and a thorn in his flesh.

What's more, Yun Hance is still thinking about me, his concubine, in his heart. Although he doesn't like me and I'm not in his eyes, his things and him are not something that others can covet.

Even if he no longer wants this person and doesn't care about his life or death, if she is his, she will always be his and will only be his until death.

Yun Hance's face had turned pale as paper due to excessive blood loss, and his entire back was bloody and fleshy even through his clothes. After being beaten with thirty military sticks, Yun Hance was only half alive.

Xiao Jue stared at Yun Hance with a warning look: "She is my woman. Even if she is nothing in my eyes, she is still my concubine. Lord Yun had better be careful about his behavior."

When I heard the words "nothing", to be honest, I didn't feel angry at all. In my eyes, he was nothing either. But Yun Hance had anger in his eyes and his breath was unstable: "You also know that she is your woman. Now that you have got her, you should treat her well!"

Xiao Jue squatted down and tightly grasped Yun Hance's jaw, which was still covered in blood. "She is so flattering and mean. I want to vomit when I see her. Lord Yun is the most famous young man in the Great East Kingdom, but he fell for such a mean woman."

Yun Hance glared at Xiao Jue with gnashing teeth, like a wounded tiger: "She is noble and smart. I am willing to fall for her!"

Every word he spoke was sincere, but I laughed like crazy, crying and laughing at the same time. Since I was so blind in my previous life, and had always ignored the people around me who were sincere to me, should I blame myself for being too stupid, or should I blame Yun Hance for hiding it too much?

Xiao Jue looked at Yun Hance, who was lying on the ground and dying, without commenting. A cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips: "Because of your deep love for her, I will order you to carry out the execution. If I find out that you have shown any mercy to her, then your punishment today will be in vain!"

Yun Hance slowly got up from the ground without saying much. Xiao Jue did not forget to instruct him, "Sir Yun, you should control yourself when you see your beloved. Otherwise, if I hear that Sir Yun covets Concubine Shu, she will not be able to stay."

At this moment, my brother had died in the battle, and he had no scruples about killing me.

Yun Hance stood up straight: "I know what to do."

I watched him walk outside with his body hunched over and trembling. Each step he took was extremely heavy, and he almost fell down several times during these few steps.
