Most of the time, many things didn't go according to his plan. After seeing the Night Emperor, Shangguan Yun thought of this.

Indeed, His Highness had already set his gaze on her, but the things that she had done in the past could not be removed. What was even more unexpected was that the empress was the one who started this!

The empress had designed it this way, but had not revealed a single detail of her plans to her. This meant that the empress no longer trusted her. His Highness must have said something in front of the empress, but the empress wasn't sure if what he said was true, so she acted like this.

If … If the empress knew that the child in her womb was the Night King's? Shangguan Yun's face turned pale. No! This was something he absolutely could not let her know!

His Highness must also never know that the empress had premeditated this day. Otherwise, everything would be over for her. As she thought about it, she sighed.

The look in his eyes became gloomier and gloomier. As expected, the most fundamental reason behind this was still Shui Ruo. As long as Shui Ruo was still alive for a day, this matter would not be resolved. Thus, only when she died could it truly end like this!

At that time, she would be able to enjoy His Highness' tender treatment.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun's gaze became firmer. She clutched her stomach, her expression unfathomable.

How much courage did it take to give up someone you loved?

Night Emperor, who had just walked out of Shangguan Yun's room, frowned. He looked at the uninvited guest in his study and asked with a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"

"Why didn't you help her?" The man's tone was similarly unkind. He looked at Ye Huangyan and asked angrily.

"It's not up to you to meddle in my affairs. As for her? Heh! If I remember correctly, she was your legitimate wife. Night Emperor Xiu, you can't have already fallen to the extent of begging me to save your people, right? " The tone of Night Emperor Yan's voice was filled with amusement as he looked at the Night Emperor Xiu and laughed coldly.

Hearing that, the Night Emperor merely looked at him coldly before replying, "Of course not. I just want to tell you, since you can't bring her happiness, then don't try to disrupt her peace. If it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be a day like today. " After saying this, the Night Emperor turned and departed.

"Wait!" Seeing that the Night Emperor was about to leave, Ye Huangyan called out to him.

"Is there something else?" Night Emperor was puzzled.

"I'm not a place where you can come and go as you wish." The tone of Night Emperor Yan's voice was downcast, no trace of happiness or anger could be discerned.

"So?" Night Emperor Xiu wasn't afraid. On the contrary, he wanted to laugh. Night Emperor Yan was far more pitiful than he had imagined. It seems that he did get what no one else could get. The noble Queen Mother, the importance that her royal father placed on her, as well as the position that everyone wanted her to be, but what about the truth? He was just a pawn of the empress.

Just like a marionette, everything was under the control of the empress.

"If you see her, say sorry to her, and... I won't let her die. " Night Emperor Yan furrowed his brows. On his somewhat enchanting face, there was an additional trace of helplessness.

Right now, not only did he have to save Shangguan Yun's life, he also had to protect Shangguan Yun. He owed this woman, so there was nothing he could do.

It was the first time that he had been protected so well and no one had ever treated him so well. Even if his mother had only thought of him when encountering danger, Shangguan Yun had stood in front of him without a shred of confusion or regret.

Even though it was laughable, he wanted to cherish this person. To cherish as a confidant.

He really liked Shui Ruo, liked her enough to die for her, but when the two met, he had no other choice.

Even though he was the crown prince, there were many things he could not do.

Night Emperor Yan was currently in a difficult position. This point was clearly seen by the Night Emperor. He and Night Emperor Yan had battled for many years. It was all for that anger. Now, seeing his opponent in such a state, even the Night Emperor had lost his interest.

He didn't reply to Nightmare's words and just left.

Right now, he had more important things to do than bickering with the Night Emperor.

It was his freedom to abandon her, but he could not abandon her. If he abandoned her, what should she do?

He left as quickly as he could.

However, what he didn't know was that after the Night Emperor had left, a complicated look could be seen in his eyes.

"In the end, I still haven't competed against you." Night Emperor Yan's voice was very faint, carrying unwillingness as well as grievance. Feeling wronged, this was a feeling he had never experienced before.

As the prince of the empress, he had been on top ever since he was young. He had been able to get the better of both sides. Later on, he had relied on the empress's influence to become the crown prince.

And sit still until now.

The things he wanted never failed. In fact, even the woman he dreamt of appeared before him. God knows, when he first saw the water, he was overjoyed.

He was finally going to have her, someone he had known in his dreams for years. That feeling of accomplishment was something that others would never be able to understand. He had a lot of expectations for her, but the heavens seemed to be punishing him. The things he had been looking forward to, none of them could be obtained.

He longed for her love, and she did not give it. He longed for loyalty, and she did not give it. He even wanted to get her smile, but in the end, she ended up hurting herself. Ever since he got to know Shui Ruo, everything about him had changed.

However, even so, at this moment, Ye Huangyan still felt wronged.

There had never been a woman who could injure him like this, and there had never been a person who could make him so conflicted.

If she had given him some love back then, perhaps he wouldn't be so conflicted today, nor would he sink into gratitude towards Shangguan Yun and be unable to extricate himself.

The feelings towards Shangguan Yun were very complicated. After all these years, although he didn't have much feelings for her, what she had done for him made him feel satisfied.

This kind of feeling might sound ridiculous, but he did have it.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have married Shangguan Yun into his family from the beginning, or perhaps, he shouldn't have provoked Shui Long from the start?

Nightfall. Night Emperor Yan was sitting by himself under the lantern. His lonely appearance caused one's heart to ache for him.

When Shangguan Yun forcefully endured the pain on her body to bring the soup to the Night Emperor Flame, what she saw was precisely this scene.

The man who made her fall in love to the bone and wish that she would die for him was wearing his favorite dark blue luxurious clothes. There was no expression on his face compared to the girl's. Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows slightly, causing people to have the impulse to go up and help him smooth his tightly knitted eyebrows.

Under the illumination of the lantern light, the man's face seemed somewhat blurry. However, as she gazed at him from afar, she couldn't help but fall in love with him.

"Your Highness." Shangguan Yun called softly.

Then he saw the man who rarely paid any attention to her raise his head and look at her. He seemed a little surprised to see her.

In reality, when Night Emperor Yan saw Shangguan Yun, he was indeed surprised.

After being surprised, he immediately ran out. He looked at her and asked worriedly, "Why did you run out?" Your injury is not yet healed. "

Shangguan Yun blinked. Listening to the man's pleasant voice and the caring words of the owner of the voice, she was so excited that she almost couldn't speak.

"I... "Your Highness, I'm fine, I just ordered the kitchen to boil a pot of chicken soup, I wanted to bring it to Your Highness, but I was worried that those servants were clumsy, so I came by myself."

"You just need to take good care of yourself." Night Emperor frowned as he received the chicken soup before helping Shangguan Yun into the room.

She had never seen him so gentle. For a moment, Shangguan Yun still felt uncomfortable, but then very quickly, she felt happy.

Wasn't that what she wanted? Although the method of obtaining it was very painful and it was one of the empress's schemes, so what?

At least, right now, His Highness didn't mention the matter of him testifying to her and didn't get angry again. Instead, he even treated her gently.

The moonlight was just right. Shangguan Yun sat beside Night Emperor Yan, watching the man drink the chicken soup she had brought him. Her gaze was gentle, as if she wanted to carve the man in front of her into her eyes.

Perhaps, love is actually very simple, the person who loves others, also does not have the greed as imagined. All they wanted was the same love their lover had for them.

Within the Crown Prince's Palace, due to Shangguan Yun's injuries, the entire place had fallen into an unprecedented tranquility.

Compared to the Crown Prince's Palace, Shui Ruo was much more depressed.

After returning to the Jing King Manor, Night Emperor Shang first went to the leisurely room.

"How is it?" Seeing that the Night Emperor had returned, Shui Ruo hastily asked.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang opened his mouth and fell silent. How about it? What was he going to say?

Was it to tell the person who was waiting for the Crown Prince's help that the Crown Prince had chosen to ignore the truth? Or was he going to tell her that she was going to keep pretending to be unconscious?

Either way, she wouldn't like it, would she?

"Seems like there's no good result." Seeing that Night Emperor Shang had remained silent, Shui Ruo could guess what was going on.

"That's true. The crown prince should be in a difficult position, right?" On one side was his princess consort and the power behind her. On the other side, it was a woman who had never showed him any kindness. Even if he wanted to help me, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find a reason. "

There was a trace of self-mockery in Shui's casual tone. Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang's eyebrows creased. He walked in front of her and fiercely hugged her.

"No, don't let your imagination run wild."

Night Emperor Shang's voice was very light and hoarse. He seemed to be suppressing something.

"It's not that I'm daydreaming, but that's a fact, isn't it? "Tell me, Night Emperor Shang." Shui Long asked indifferently.

Hearing that, Emperor Ye Shang's body trembled, but he couldn't resist the water's unhurried demand. He could only sigh, "The Crown Princess almost died trying to block the assassin attack for the crown prince. "So."

Nighttime. Emperor Shang's words seemed to come to a halt, but Shui Ruo clearly understood the latter part of his words.

Because the Crown Princess almost died for the Crown Prince, that person chose to love him, not the one he loved.

"This might be a good thing for the crown prince." Shui Long smiled faintly. It was as if this had nothing to do with her.

Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang did not say anything else and only stroked her head. His handsome face did not reveal the slightest hint of worry, on the contrary, it was very calm.

However, if those who knew of Night Emperor Shang knew about it, they would know what this calmness represented.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." His tone was very light, but it was also very solemn.

Shui Long did not answer but remained silent. Night Emperor looked at her for a long time before finally leaving.

However, after Night Emperor Shang left, a hint of disappointment appeared on Shui Yuehan's face.

Even though they had their own guesses, when the truth was laid out in front of them, it still made them feel sad.

She had never thought that the One Night Emperor would abandon her because of Shangguan Yun. Perhaps she was being too arrogant? He actually thought of using him.

However, since he couldn't use it, he wouldn't help her anymore. Thus, he could only think of another way.

She could not die here, much less die because of Shangguan Yun's conspiracy.

Thinking about this, Shui Yuehan took a deep breath, made up his mind, tidied up his clothes, and ran out to catch up with Night Emperor Shang, who had just left.

In truth, Night Emperor Shang also did not go far.

At this moment, he was thinking about how he was going to help Wandering Water. Because of this, he was prepared to look for Feng Xi. Originally, he had planned to place a layer of insurance on top of Night Emperor Yan not wanting to help. However, he never expected that Night Emperor Yan would really not help.

The accident happened too quickly, but luckily he left Feng Xi as insurance, so he wouldn't be caught unprepared.
