Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

"Go call the doctor." Li Xueyue was silent for a long time, and finally spoke. She raised her head and wiped her eyes. She didn't want to sit there and cry. However, there were still many opportunities to cry.

"He'll keep it a secret, right?" she hastened to add, not wanting this weakness of hers to be discovered.

"If he values ​​his wife and children, then of course." Yu Zhen brushed her hair away from her forehead. He liked her bangs on her face, but sometimes he felt unhappy about them. The bangs often covered her gem-like eyes.

Li Xueyue nodded, "Then I'll go take a look."

Yu Zhen held her face in his hands, surprising her. He leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"I won't leave, Sunshine. Even if you chase me away, I won't leave."

Li Xueyue felt his lips resting on her head, and soon, his forehead rested on hers, and his thumb gently stroked her cheek.

"I didn't come here to run away when I encountered obstacles," he said softly, "I will stay whether you like it or not."

Li Xueyue burst into tears again. His words hurt her. Not because they were cruel, but because they hurt her. He was willing to sacrifice so much for her, and he did it without hesitation. It was a selfless act on his part.

"How is this possible?" she whispered. "Every time I think I'm deeply in love with you, you say something like this, and I fall in love with you even more."

Yu Zhen laughed. This laughter made her heart tighten. If only he knew how much influence he had on her...

"I'm a persistent person, Sunshine. You should have run away the moment you heard me."

"I don't think you understand how crazy I am..." Li Xueyue murmured.

Memories of the coronation banquet flashed back to her. She would never forget it—the horror of taking another's life.

Li Xueyue will never forget that she took the life of Duke Li Daojun. It was either his or hers. And she chose her own. Risking the happiness of others.

Her attention quickly returned to Yu Zhen.

"I don't need to understand. I just know, sunshine."

Li Xueyue looked at him in amazement, "I thought it was well hidden."

Yu Zhen gave her a fierce look and asked, "Who said that?"

Li Xueyue glared, "Me."

"That's not a very reliable source, is it?"

Li Xueyue hadn't expected to experience so many emotions at once. She appreciated his humor, even in the strangest moments. Was it his way of cheering her up? She didn't know, because Yu Zhen loved to tease and taunt whenever he got the chance.

"Hurry up and call the imperial physician." She muttered, unable to find the words to refute.

Yu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Giving up so soon?"

"I'm tired," she deadpanned.

“I wish I could say that.”

"That's because you're not human."

Yu Zhen smiled. Being called a monster never frightened him. His hands were stained with blood. The blood in the palace could flow like a river. It was not something to show off. But he did what he had to do.

“I’m always happy to hear my wife say that.”

"I'm sorry," she said immediately.

Yu Zhen shook his head, "No need, I won't deny the facts."

Li Xueyue looked up at him in horror. Is this how he saw her?

"Don't worry so much, I really don't care. Words alone can't hurt me." Yu Zhen was amused by her wide eyes. He had heard worse. Her words didn't even hurt him, let alone leave a hole in his chest.

"You must defend your country," Li Xueyue said firmly. "This is not a matter of choice. This is an obligation."

Yu Zhen was sure that a warm current spread through his body. Her words touched him, but he never admitted it. Instead, he kissed her on the forehead again.

"Will you blame yourself?" Li Xueyue asked worriedly, "Yu Zhen, we always discuss my problems but rarely yours."

"That's because I can't remember anything."

“No one is truly emotionless,” she said.

Yu Zhen pinched her cheeks at once, "You know what I have to say."

Li Xueyue didn't believe him. Life was not perfect and it was normal to worry. It was unbelievable to believe that he had not encountered any difficulties.

"Yes, but-"

"Some memories from my childhood left me with a very uncomfortable feeling, but I have learned to move on from them."

Li Xueyue closed her mouth. She waited patiently for him to continue. She was willing to listen to him talk about the problem. No matter how big or small the problem was, she would pay him her full attention. He had done the same for her. It was only fair that she did the same for her and more.

"My days are uneventful except for the time I spent with you. Nothing bothers me so much now. Soldiers learn this from a young age."

Li Xueyue continued to listen. He seldom expressed his troubles in this way. She was ready to listen, even if it took a whole day.

"Once a soldier has faced the brutality of war, any big problem seems small compared to the days on the battlefield."

Yu Zhen will never forget the horrors of war, the bloody corpses, the bodies of his comrades, the casualties with broken limbs... and so on.

He did not reject the battlefield, because a part of him had always belonged there. He had learned to fight since he was a child, for fun and for the country.

Yu Zhen never thought he would become the crown prince. He thought he would live a life of fighting and training. That was it. But when he was sixteen, the responsibility of the throne fell on him, and everything was slowly but steadily moving in his favor.

"That's why I don't get bothered by many problems. No matter how big or small, it will eventually pass. No matter how stubborn the problem is, I will force it through."

"Isn't it tiring?" Li Xueyue finally asked. "Carrying the burden of a country?"

“This is the price we pay for our dynasty of luxury.”

Li Xueyue observed his face. If she looked closely, she could vaguely see traces of dark circles under his eyes. Now that she thought about it… his bags under his eyes were much more serious than before, but they had been getting better a little bit recently.

"If you had a problem, you'd tell me, right? You wouldn't keep it to yourself?" she asked. There was a desire in her eyes that affected him in ways she would never know. And he would stay that way.

Yu Zhen pinched her nose, "I'm not stupid enough to keep my feelings to myself, unlike a stubborn woman I know."

Li Xueyue sneered. "Yes, of course I know him."

"Can you please let your mind rest now and stop worrying about me?" Yu Zhen said.

Li Xueyue shook her head.

"When you say that, I feel like I'm losing my mind."

“At some point, everyone loses it.”

"Okay, we can solve this problem then," Yu Zhen consoled.

“It would be better to plan ahead… so we don’t have to scramble to find solutions at the last minute,” she responded.

“It is much better to live in the present moment than to worry about the unpredictable future.”

Li Xueyue smiled tightly, "As long as we can think of the worst-case scenario and find a solution before it happens, we can avoid unpredictable things from happening."

"Well, I finally see through your heart." Yu Zhen has always known that I am a person who likes to think too much, but I didn't expect that I would think to this extent? "

"If I didn't know any better, Sunshine, I'd think you were a pessimist."

"You don't have to predict. I know I will."

Yu Zhen touched the back of her head, running his fingers along her hair, starting from the roots, stroking repeatedly.

"You think too much... You are such an annoying person." Yu Zhen teased.

Li Xueyue put her hand on his shoulder and said, "People have to be realistic."

“And it’s delusional,” he added.

"It's better than temper problems."

Yu Zhen laughed out loud. He had nothing to say about this. He was born with this brutal character. After all, he inherited the worst qualities of his parents. Now he was not even sure if they still had any decent qualities.
