Chapter 170: He Wants Both the Country and the Beauty
She knew this day would come, but she didn't know it would be now...
Baili Haoxuan would eventually find her and would not let her go, but she did not expect it to be now, at this moment...
She would never forget the familiar scent on him. Even if he had his back to her, she could still recognize the scent of him, exactly as it was...
The breath was getting closer and closer, and her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it wanted to penetrate her body and escape. She tried very hard to put her hand on her heart to stop it from beating wildly, but she found that everything was in vain...
Baili Haoxuan is her evil calamity in this life...
Baili Haoxuan's steps became more and more difficult, and he walked slower and slower. When he first learned that Yan'er was here, he wished he could be by her side, but the closer he got, the more overwhelmed he felt, and he didn't know how to face it.
Baili Haoxuan had mixed feelings, including remorse, pity, heartache, and regret...
He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Hearing the shallow and even breathing, Baili Haoxuan felt a little relieved and approached Yun Jingman. At least she was sleeping soundly, and he didn't have to face any embarrassment...
"Yan'er, I'm sorry..." These words came out from deep in my heart, but I found that these words were so pale...
His sorry will never be exchanged for her saying "I forgive you", because he knows that he owes her a lot, a lot, and he will never be able to repay her in this lifetime...
Baili Haoxuan tapped Yun Jingman's sleeping point with his fingers, and gently picked up the woman he loved most in his life but who had hurt him the most, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world...
I can't live without you. Even if it hurts, even if it hurts, let's be together in this life...
Once upon a time, Baili Haoxuan was Yun Jingman's sun, and she was a sunflower, her world only revolved around him; now, Yun Jingman is Baili Haoxuan's sun, without her, his world is dark...
The next day, (Yizhengjeon)
An unexpected person appeared in the morning court—Beitang Yuan.
Everyone speculated why Beitang Yuan went to court, but Baili Haoxuan knew it very well. However, Baili Haoxuan pretended that nothing had happened and ignored Beitang Yuan's hostile eyes...
Beitang Yuan did not listen to a single word of the morning court session. He just looked at Baili Haoxuan with anger and hostility. He knew that it was Baili Haoxuan who took his Man'er away...
Today, she asked the kitchen to prepare chicken porridge early in the morning. When she brought it over personally, she found that the bed was empty. She angrily rebuked the guards, but they all said that they did not see Miss Yun leave the bedroom.
It makes sense. Yun Jingman's lower body is still disabled, how could she leave on her own? Then, the only possibility is that she was abducted. And the only person who could have done this is Beitang Yuan, except Baili Haoxuan...
After the court session, Beitang Yuan followed Baili Haoxuan and Yan Zinuo all the way to the imperial study.
"Come in together." Baili Haoxuan glanced at the furious Beitang Yuan with his blue eyes and said coldly.
After Baili Haoxuan lifted up his robe and sat down, he flipped through the memorials on the table, ignoring Beitang Yuan who was standing in front of him, and picked up the red pen to review them as if nothing had happened.
Yan Zinuo ignored him and sat down.
"Where is she?" After half a minute of silence, Beitang Yuan asked softly.
"She? Who?" Baili Haoxuan asked casually, his blue eyes fixed on the memorials without looking up at Beitang Yuan.
When Yan Zinuo heard this, he understood everything. Baili Haoxuan brought Sang Yuhanyan back, and Beitang Yuan, so Sang Yuhanyan had been in Beitang Yuan's general's mansion before?
Wasn’t Sang Yu Hanyan bestowed upon that old eunuch? What’s going on?
No wonder he sent people to look for the old eunuch but couldn't find any trace of him...
"Your Majesty knows who I am talking about. Please hand her over to me." Beitang Yuan said coldly, his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves.
"Who? I don't know." Baili Haoxuan pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. He just wanted Beitang Yuan to admit it.
"emperor!"
"Well, who is General Beitang talking about?"
"Sang Yu Hanyan." Beitang Yuan roared out.
"Heh. General Beitang, do you know who the Sang Yu Hanyan you are talking about is?" Baili Haoxuan put down the red pen in his hand, pushed the memorial away, and stared at Beitang Yuan with sharp blue eyes.
"I don't know. I only know that when I was in the snow and ice, she was thinly dressed, her whole body was frostbitten, and she was unable to resist. She was dragged in public by an old eunuch, and...she was taken advantage of." Whenever Beitang Yuan thought of that scene, his heart was gripped. He mustered up his courage and gritted his teeth at this painful scene.
Ice and snow, thin clothing, frostbitten all over, unable to resist, dragged in public, taken advantage of... Every word was like a powerful hammer, every word hit Baili Haoxuan's heart hard.
No wonder she looks so bad, it turns out...
Blame him.
Baili Haoxuan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles making a "click" sound. He would not let this old eunuch go!!!
Yan Zinuo also felt a little distressed...
"Sang Yu Hanyan is my concubine. General Beitang, do you know?" After being surprised and distressed, Baili Haoxuan said coldly and forcefully.
"She is not, she is not! She is just the wife bestowed by the emperor to the old eunuch. I just snatched her from the old eunuch. Has the emperor forgotten the imperial decree granting the marriage?" Beitang Yuan gritted his teeth and said coldly.
How could he forget the ridiculous things he did? He would never forget every hurtful thing he did to her...
"Yun Jingman was given to the old eunuch by me, but Sang Yuhanyan is not. She is my concubine, for life..."
She was also the only wife he acknowledged...
"Also, General Beitang, please always remember your identity. You are a minister, and she is my concubine. I don't need to teach you the etiquette that the monarch and his subjects should abide by. This is the first time and the last time. Don't let me know there will be a second time!" Baili Haoxuan warned sternly.
"You can leave now!"
"I'll take my leave!" Beitang Yuan said, cupping his fists. Since Baili Haoxuan was talking about the relationship between the king and his subject, there was no benefit for him to waste time any longer, so he had to leave...
But, he will never let Yun Jingman go, never...
He wants both the country and the beauty!
