Chapter 312: Overcoming Difficulties
After a long silence, he made a wish: "But you and I are destined not to be together."
"Do you want to tell me about the dream you had again?" Bei Yao asked back.
Beiyao always remembered the dream that Xuyuan had told him.
Although everything was as Xu Yuan said, Bei Yao never believed it.
He never believed in the supernatural things in the world.
"Listen to me, this is different." Xu Yuan shook his head. "You are the prince, the most noble person in Tianqi, and I am the descendant of a criminal. Even if I am cleared of the crime, I cannot change my past experience. From the day we were born, we are destined to be worlds apart in this life. If we are together, we will be unacceptable by our class. Even if you are willing now, what if you regret it one day?"
Love rises with the wind and falls with the wind.
Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao's gradually sinking expression and continued, "What's more, you know better than me what the Battle of Feishui means. This military achievement is the cornerstone of your becoming the Crown Prince's Mansion. One day, you will ascend to the throne, and I have always longed for freedom and do not like being bound."
"So, you think that the best relationship between us is that of allies, right?"
Xu Yuan looked into Bei Yao's eyes and nodded gently: "Yes, you are gentle and kind, and you will definitely be a good monarch."
"I understand." Bei Yao nodded, his voice became cold, "Xu Yuan, what you mean by companionship is to wait until I ascend the throne and then leave, so that you can live your life without any worries and happily. You think you have given me an explanation, and also given an explanation to the people of the world, right?"
Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan, his eyes sharpening.
Without waiting for Xu Yuan to speak, he continued, "You are wrong, absolutely wrong. What you say about gentleness and kindness is all fake. I am cold-hearted by nature. I will not destroy what I cannot obtain, but I will never be able to accept it again. Since you have made up your mind to leave, there is no need to come back. For so many years, it is not that I cannot obtain the position of the crown prince, but that I do not want it. I want to wait for a higher position, and I do not need your help."
"I have no ambition for power, I have no desire for money, and I don't have your heart of a bodhisattva who loves the people of the world and can't bear to see them suffer. I will do what I promised you, but you have to stay away from me and never come back."
Bei Yao turned around and said in a cold tone: "Zhang Yue can stay. You can go back tomorrow morning."
Xu Yuan caught up with Bei Yao and followed him closely, saying, "Bei Yao, I really want to help you."
"I said, I don't need it." Bei Yao's voice was still cold.
Xu Yuan slowly stopped making wishes until Bei Yao's figure disappeared around the corner of the street, with those few words still lingering in his mind.
I do not need.
Maybe Beiyao really doesn't need her, and she is not that powerful enough to help Beiyao.
"Miss Xu."
The maid called Xuyuan, and when she saw that Xuyuan did not respond, she said, "Miss Xu, go wash up first."
Xu Yuan came back to his senses, nodded slightly and said, "Sorry for the trouble."
-
For three consecutive days, Xu Yuan did not see Bei Yao.
Zhang Yue also plunged into the military camp and never came out again.
And making a wish also solved the previous doubts.
Feishui was not lost and the battle was not fierce. Beiyao acted like this because he wanted to send Song Xiujing back to Geshu's tribe under the pretext of joining forces with Geshu.
After all, if Song Xiujing stayed in the capital, her only option was to marry a foreign princess.
After all, the emperor would not be willing to give up such a good helper.
Xu Yuan's arrival at Feishui meant that Song Xiujing had already arrived in Geshu. Therefore, Beiyao changed its previous fighting style and defeated the enemy.
The first battle was a victory and the whole army celebrated.
Xu Yuan sat in front of the campfire, watching the soldiers cheering and jumping for joy. She felt even more depressed, but when she saw Zhang Yue looking for her, she pulled herself together, stood up and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Seeing you're alone, I'm afraid you'll be lonely."
Zhang Yue handed the wine jug to Xu Yuan and said in a lower voice, "Drink something?"
"I don't want to drink." Xu Yuan shook his head.
"My uncle is not here, what are you afraid of? I always know what you do in the temple every day."
Zhang Yue was lying on the ground, looking up at the sky full of stars. He didn't hear Xu Yuan talking, so he continued, "Xu Yuan, you weren't so timid before."
"I don't know when I changed. Maybe I have always been like this."
"No, it's because you're afraid of losing."
Zhang Yue sat up, looked at Xu Yuan and said seriously: "Xu Yuan, let me ask you, when you decided to go to the capital, did you ever think that if you failed to overturn the verdict, you would have no choice but to die?"
"I thought about it."
"Then why do you still want to go?"
"Because of hatred." Xu Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky full of stars. His voice was cold: "I can't bear to see those who harmed the Xu family sitting on the corpses of the Xu family and reveling every night. If I don't fight back, there is only one way to go, and that is death. Rather than accepting it passively, taking the initiative to attack may give me a glimmer of hope."
"You are wrong. There was never a glimmer of hope." Zhang Yue shook his head. "If it weren't for the Third Prince, I would have died long ago, and I would not have returned to Sishui County safely. Xuyuan, he dared to risk the world's condemnation for you, and you also ran around for days because you were worried about his safety, not daring to stop for a moment. Since you two love each other, why should you be timid? If you had the courage you had when you went to the capital, you wouldn't be in this situation today."
"He is a royal family. If we were really together, he would be burdened by me for the rest of his life."
"So what?" Zhang Yue asked back.
"A pearl cannot be covered in dust. He should be the peerless Third Prince, as bright and clear as the moon."
"So, you think it's best to separate, right?"
Zhang Yue looked at Xu Yuan with some sadness in his eyes, "Just like you wanted to get involved in the game, in order not to implicate us, you planned a way out for me early on. But Xu Yuan, I am your brother, you and I grew up together, how could I watch you die?"
Zhang Yue took the wine pot, took a deep sip and said, "That day I was in the military camp and received a letter from the capital, saying that you were killed by the prince. At that moment, defending the city and killing the enemy, fame and fortune, were not important to me. I only had one thought in my mind, I wanted to kill the prince."
"So, no matter how well you arrange things for me, in my eyes, fame and fortune are not as important as you being alive, and our family being together forever."
"Brother, I'm sorry." Xu Yuan's eyes were wet.
"There's no need to apologize. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I also hope you can understand that your peace and happiness are what I want to protect most in my life."
Zhang Yue put his hands on the ground and said, "Calculating the time, my uncle should have arrived in the capital by now."
Hearing Zhang Yue's words, Xu Yuan immediately stood up: "Brother, what did you say?!"
"My uncle has gone to the capital." Zhang Yue looked at Xu Yuan's shocked expression and said calmly, "For you."
"He, how could he..."
"Why not? You can redress your father's grievances, and your uncle also hopes to clear all obstacles for you. Make a wish. Do you think you can accept this way of doing good for you?"
"Brother, have you forgotten the pursuit along the way? The capital is very dangerous, and I don't need someone so self-righteous to be nice to me."
After making the wish, he was suddenly stunned.
This sentence is particularly familiar.
The characters are reversed. She and Zhang Yue today are no different from her and Bei Yao two or three days ago.
"Make a wish. I haven't read any books, and I don't know how to tell you these great truths, but I understand that only when the knife falls on yourself will you know how painful it is. You don't need this kind of self-righteous goodness. Does the Third Prince need it? He doesn't need it, and I don't need it either. Rather than you charging into battle alone, I hope that we will always fight side by side. Perhaps the Third Prince also thinks so. You haven't asked him what he thinks, so you can't do what he wants alone."
Zhang Yue stood up with the wine jug, patted Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Xuyuan, you lived for your uncle for the past ten years. Now, you should live for yourself. No matter how many obstacles there are in the way, the people who love you will help you overcome all difficulties."
