Chapter 1041 Flustered
Chapter 1041 Flustered
Only after that did he realize that it was the princess who had saved him from his suffering.
He later became the princess's personal bodyguard.
He practices martial arts diligently every day so that he can better protect the princess.
Someone like him was never meant to be by the princess's side. Now that he has this opportunity, even just standing in a corner is a paradise he could never have dreamed of before.
But the princess is just too wonderful.
She seemed to see him not just as a random follower she picked up, but as a friend.
As a princess, she also had many worries, which she often told him. He gradually realized that the princess was not so high and mighty, but rather charming and lovely.
Gradually, in this interaction, he developed feelings that he shouldn't have had.
He knew he was nothing more than mud beneath his feet, how could he dare to dream of the moon in the sky, so he always suppressed this affection in his heart.
He thought that it would be enough for him to stay by the princess's side for the rest of his life.
But when the princess reached marriageable age, he looked at the talented young men who were qualified to marry her and realized how painful it was to suppress his feelings.
He never dreamed that the princess would like him.
When that kiss landed on his lips, he felt as if it were all a dream.
The princess did not want to marry because she had someone in her heart.
That person is him.
Whenever he thinks about this, he feels that he is the happiest person in the world.
But reality is never as wonderful as we imagine.
The princess could never marry someone like him.
He watched helplessly as the prime minister proposed marriage, the emperor was in a dilemma, and the princess's crying and resistance were to no avail. Seeing his beloved in so much pain, he felt increasingly powerless.
Later, the princess requested to become a nun, while he went to the battlefield.
Because the Prime Minister saw that they had feelings for each other, it was the princess who made him become the disciple of the mighty general, and only then was he able to save his life on the battlefield.
He could only watch helplessly as the princess he had loved since childhood spent her days in a temple, keeping company with Buddha and the dim light of the lamp.
She was a girl who couldn't bear any hardship and had lived a life of luxury since childhood, but for him she had to stay in the temple and suffer.
Now he has finally returned victorious, and looking at the still beautiful princess before him, he doesn't even have the chance to touch her.
The princess subconsciously touched her face, then looked at the man in front of her and said, "You've gotten darker, but you're also more muscular."
When he first came to my side, he was just a handsome young man, but now he's a real man.
A brave and invincible, exceptionally handsome, and indomitable general who made great contributions.
"I...I want to ask the Emperor for your hand in marriage."
Yuchi spoke up.
This is something he's always dreamed of doing.
The battlefield was fraught with danger, and every night was difficult, but the thought of returning to see his beloved after a victory filled him with energy.
Even when fighting on the battlefield, they are full of power.
The princess looked at the man before her, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
"The Prime Minister is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo. After his father ascended the throne, his power was not stable, and he has been dealing with them all along."
Moreover, the Prime Minister has a sinister personality; he has always been relentless and determined since childhood. I'm afraid even if you beg him now, there's no way to get him to agree…”
As a child, she didn't understand and thought it was just a marriage arrangement. As a princess, why couldn't she marry the person she wanted?
But only now does she understand how difficult it was for her father.
Her father also felt sorry for her and had considered agreeing to her request, but he was constrained and had no choice.
Therefore, voluntarily becoming a monk is the only way out.
Upon hearing this, Yuchi's heart sank, and he had already made his decision.
"I understand. You don't need to worry. Leave the rest to me."
"In this life, I only want to marry you. If you don't marry me, I won't marry you."
Yuchi smiled. At worst, he would become a monk once the border was secured and the court was stable.
He was willing to do anything as long as he could stay by the princess's side.
Later, when the Duke of Zhenguo rebelled, Yuchi and General Weiwu protected the emperor and stopped the traitor.
Yuchi rushed to find the princess, only to discover that she had been taken hostage by the prime minister.
Finally, the princess jumped off the high platform and died in Yuchi's arms.
Seeing this scene, Song Ruozhen's heart skipped a beat. She never expected that their past life would end like this.
He watched as Yuchi buried the princess with his own hands, and from then on, he kept company only with the dim light of a lamp.
He would talk to the princess every day, reminiscing about the time they had spent together.
He would also pray to Buddha every day, hoping that they could continue their predestined relationship in the next life.
However, as a member of the Xuanmen sect, Song Ruozhen knew very well that the two of them were not destined to be together, and how difficult it would be to achieve a perfect ending in this lifetime.
She watched as Yuchi prayed day after day, his hair turning from black to white, until he finally died beside the princess's grave.
The last thing he asked for before he died was to be buried together with them.
After that, Song Ruozhen saw Chu Junting's next life.
He still lived a lonely life until his death.
Song Ruozhen then realized that Chu Junting's lonely old age in his previous life was not a single lifetime, but rather that he had been living like this for a long time.
Because of that initial prayer, I've paid the price for so many lifetimes.
She then recalled that when she became the head of the Xuanmen sect, her master had told her that she had a predestined relationship.
At the time, she didn't understand the profound meaning of her master's words at all, but at this moment, she finally understood.
It turns out that her relationship with Jun Ting wasn't fate at all, but rather something he had paid a huge price for.
"how so……"
Song Ruozhen was overcome with emotion, and only when she came to her senses did she realize that her face was covered in tears...
She truly felt sorry for this man.
……
After seeing Song Ruozhen faint, Chu Junting anxiously called out to her.
"Zhen'er, don't sleep, please don't sleep."
"Zhen'er, wake up quickly, don't scare me and the child."
Chu Junting shook the woman in his arms, his face pale and helpless. "Don't leave me, I beg you, don't leave me."
Upon hearing the baby's cries, everyone outside the door was overjoyed, knowing that all three children had been safely delivered.
However, after a long silence from inside the house, and hearing Chu Junting's anxious voice, his heart skipped a beat.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
Gu Ruyan's heart tightened, and the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by deep fear.
"No, Mother, don't worry. Fifth Sister is probably too tired from childbirth, so she hasn't come out yet."
While comforting his mother, Song Yanzhou couldn't help but feel anxious. The lack of any progress was quite strange.
Logically speaking, even if Fifth Sister was too tired and fell asleep, the Crown Prince should have come out by now. Could something really have happened?
Later, everyone couldn't help but rush in, and saw the unconscious Song Ruozhen and the imperial physician and midwife kneeling on the ground, trembling.
