When the Empress Becomes a Rich Family's Wasted Daughter

"Miss...."

Rongzhen opened her eyes in a daze and saw a strange man in a suit calling her with an anxious look on his face.

“Do you need a tissue?”

The man, wearing snow-white gloves, handed the patent leather tissue box to Rongzhen.

Rongzhen took a few seconds to react.

Only then did I realize that I was crying unconsciously.

She looked up at the driver, reached out to pull out a tissue, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you."

The driver said with concern.

"Miss, we're at Gu's house."

Seeing an unfamiliar vehicle parked outside the villa, the villa's security guard was waiting on the side. Only when he saw Rong Zhen getting out of the car did he politely salute and let her pass.

Butler Ren was discussing something with the gardener in the garden. When he saw Rong Zhen coming back, he hurried over to greet her.

he said with a smile.

"Ms. Rong, why did you come back first?"

But when he saw the traces of tears on Rongzhen's face, he was stunned, and concern emerged in his eyes, but he still didn't ask more questions.

Asked hurriedly.

"Miss Rong must be tired. If you need to eat, please let me know."

"Thank you, Uncle Ren."

Butler Ren looked at Rong Zhen's departing back and sighed. Could it be that Miss Rong had suffered some injustice at the banquet?

But this isn't right. With the old lady around, how could she let Miss Rong suffer any injustice?

Butler Ren didn't think any more about it and continued with his previous work.

He turned and ordered.

"The master is back. He hates the weeds in the yard. Oh, they have such strong vitality. Let's arrange a few more people to remove them first..."

.....

Put on cute slippers.

Hang up your dress and put on some comfy, soft long-sleeved pajamas.

After pouring a cup of warm water, Rongzhen walked to the window holding the pink mug. The sky outside the window was clear and the scenery was just right from this angle.

Jinzhe is Lan Ye's reincarnation, carrying Lan Ye's memories of her past life.

Unexpectedly, Lan Ye actually knew Yun Yu.

Unexpectedly, Yunyu actually retained the memory of her previous life.

Unexpectedly, he actually hated himself.

The warm water temperature was just enough to soothe the burning sensation of the wine fermenting in her stomach. She curled up on the sofa, her brain racing as she thought about what exactly was going on.

Every dream.

Those memories are there.

But the dream was clearer than her memory, which made her feel a little strange.

She worked hard for ten years, forcing herself to forget the pain of losing her lover, but she did not deny that even ten years later, she recalled her time with Yunyu.

And it can be accurate to every detail.

But the dream seems to be from a third person's perspective.

She was no longer an insider.

But a bystander.

witness.

Witnessing everything that happened...

I remember the broken dreams and the fallen brown paper from a long time ago....

Rongzhen realized.

Perhaps, there was another reason for Yunyu's death.

If Yunyu had kept his memory of that time, according to his personality, he shouldn't have treated her the way he does now...

I don’t know how long I thought about it.

Maybe the wind outside is too comfortable.

When Gu Fei came back, this was the scene he saw. She was curled up on the sofa without any defense. Her huddled appearance made him feel uneasy.

How long had he lost her?

For so long that he has been doubting whether he has never had her...

He looked at the woman's hair sticking to her cheek and frowned slightly. He couldn't help but raise his hand, then put it down again.

Raise your hand.

Put it down again.

Rongzhen opened her eyes.

She realized that it was him, but he didn't say anything, so she simply opened her eyes first.

The woman's eyes no longer had the drunken blur, nor the coldness of questioning him. Her eyes were still clear as she looked straight at him.

"Yunyu."

Gu Fei looked at Rong Zhen with his dark eyes and said.

"Yongzhen."

"Why do you call out this name without hesitation?"

Gu Fei now smelled slightly of alcohol, but he no longer looked paranoid and resentful. Although his eyebrows were still gloomy, the eyes looking at her revealed a hint of stubbornness.

Rongzhen realized that they lacked communication.

Maybe in my memory we haven’t talked much for more than ten years.

Or maybe after the reunion, she didn't realize that he had the memories from the past.

They actually.

We never sat down and had a good chat.

Rongzhen sat up, the pink tulips on her pajamas made her face look rosy, she said.

"Yunyu, you have given everything for me and my kingdom."

Gu Fei didn't say anything, his expression still gloomy.

"But I can't find your body."

"I can only build a tomb for you."

Rongzhen slowly raised her head, the evening breeze blew across her body, lifting the hair by her ears. As she stroked her lover's cenotaph, no one knew the pain and grief in her heart.

She sent out the elite troops of Chaogewei to search for them.

On that bright red land.

It seems like everything is there.

But it seemed so dead silent.

Something froze, it was Rong Zhen looking up and her gazes meeting Gu Fei's.

He stood straight with his eyes long and narrow, as if something was flowing in his brain, a torrent of memories surging, wave after wave, leaving him no way to stop it.

Instead, he asked a question.

Something I've always wanted to ask.

"Why are you."

"Use me as bait."

"why."

"Give up on me."

He stared at Rong Zhen with sharp eyes, as if he had been waiting for this answer for a long time, so long that he still couldn't ask her when he saw her...

Rong Zhen stared at Gu Fei for a long time.

She thought of many reasons.

When she first came, she was at a loss thinking that the lover of this life did not remember her, but she was as excited as a deer and was grateful for the mercy of heaven.

Later, she began to wonder if she had shouldered too much and was no longer innocent, which was why she was rejected by him.

Now, he has been holding it in for a long time.

Rongzhen could clearly see his expression and outline in the backlight.

turn out to be...

He actually thought that for the sake of the country, he would use himself as bait and gamble the lives of his soldiers.

Completely pacified the northern border.

Time seems to have stood still.

After Gu Fei asked the question, he didn't say another word. When he said this, there was some anger in the depths of his eyes, but since he had already asked it.

He won't take it back.

Rongzhen didn't answer.

She supported her upper body and sat on the sofa, and seemed to see a similarly thin boy on that lonely, chilling and frightening night.

Stubbornly carried her on his back.

Climbed over one mountain after another.

She was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious.

I only remember the sound of cicadas and birds chirping in my ears, and the grass on that mountain was higher than the boy's knees...

"You are such a fool."

Rongzhen spoke.

She pursed her lips, suppressed the bitterness in her eyes, and stared at Gu Fei, just like before.

"Why would I give up on you?"

"A vast expanse of mountains and rivers."

"The mighty imperial power."

"I work for the world, and for your peace."

Gu Fei always felt that even his bones were numb, perhaps because he hadn't seen a woman's tears for a long time. She was a strong person, and even stronger after joining the army.

As the saying goes, no blood, no tears.

But now her tears were streaming down her face.

Gu Fei just felt that even if she didn't say a word.

These heartbreaking tears alone were enough to make him feel helpless...
