The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

The spring breeze is blowing, peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the palace of Yunhan Kingdom is full of spring and vitality. However, behind this flourishing scene, Haoyu's heart is filled with unspeakable troubles and struggles. During this period of time, he and Wei An fought side by side and experienced countless storms together. The deep friendship took root and gradually evolved into an inseparable emotion. However, Wei An's identity is like an invisible wall, lying between them, causing Haoyu to fall into deep thinking and choice.

In the dead of night, under the moonlight, Haoyu sat alone in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, holding tightly in his hand a warm jade pendant, which was given to him by Wei An after a battle. Whenever it was dead of night, Haoyu would always take out the jade pendant and stare at it, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that his feelings for Wei An had gone beyond ordinary friendship, but whether this feeling could be seen in the light and how to place it became his biggest confusion.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" A gentle voice broke the silence of the night. It was Queen Li Yuan who slowly walked over, her eyes full of concern.

Haoyu looked up and forced a smile: "Mother, I... just have something on my mind."

Li Yuan sat down next to Haoyu and asked softly, "Is it for General Wei An?"

Haoyu was shocked when he heard this. He turned to look at Li Yuan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Mother, you... know everything?"

Li Yuan shook her head, then nodded: "Mother and son are connected by heart, how could I not know that. But, within these palace walls, emotional matters are particularly complicated, you need to think twice before you act."

Haoyu sighed and confided his worries one by one: "Mother, my feelings for Wei An are deepening, but I know that if his identity is made public, it will cause an uproar and may even endanger the stability of the imperial power. What should I do?"

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Haoyu, as a prince, you carry the future of Yunhan Country on your shoulders. Personal feelings are important, but the interests of the country and the people are more important. You need to think calmly and weigh the pros and cons."

Haoyu lowered his head in deep thought. Li Yuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart. He knew that what his mother said was very true, but how could he easily give up this deep affection?

The next morning, Haoyu summoned his trusted minister Zhang Wenyuan, who was a rare wise man in the court, acted steadily, and was deeply trusted by Haoyu.

"Wenyuan, there is something in my mind that I can't make a decision on." Haoyu frowned and expressed his confusion one by one.

After listening to this, Zhang Wenyuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, emotional matters cannot be measured by reason. But as a prince, you must put the overall situation first. Although General Wei An is loyal and reliable, if his identity is made public, it may indeed cause unnecessary disturbances."

Haoyu nodded, but the tangle in his heart did not ease: "Wenyuan, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Wenyuan shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, there is no absolutely good solution for this matter. You can only rely on your own determination and wisdom to balance the relationship between emotions and national interests."

Haoyu felt even more depressed after hearing this. He understood that although Zhang Wenyuan's words did not provide a direct solution, they enlightened him - only he could make the final decision.

In the days that followed, Haoyu privately consulted with many trusted ministers and wise men. However, most people believed that revealing Wei An's identity would cause a huge disturbance and might even endanger the stability of the imperial power. These opinions were like a mountain, pressing on Haoyu's heart, making him almost breathless.

One evening, Haoyu was walking alone on the path in the Imperial Garden, his heart filled with unprecedented confusion and struggle. At this moment, a melodious sound of piano came, like the sound of nature, instantly soothing his irritability.

Haoyu followed the sound and saw a woman in white sitting in the pavilion playing the zither. The woman had a pretty face and a refined temperament. She was none other than Lin Wanqing, a talented woman in the palace.

"Ms. Wanqing, your piano playing is so beautiful." Haoyu couldn't help but stop and exclaimed in admiration.

Lin Wanqing raised her head and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you are too kind. Although the sound of the piano is beautiful, it cannot solve the confusion in your heart."

Haoyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Miss Wanqing is indeed very smart. Yes, I do have a thousand knots in my heart that are difficult to untie."

Lin Wanqing gently put down the guqin, walked to Haoyu, and said softly: "Your Highness, why don't you tell me about it? Perhaps Wanqing can help you share your worries."

Haoyu hesitated for a moment, but finally confided all his worries. Lin Wanqing listened quietly, with sympathy in her eyes. After Haoyu finished speaking, she slowly said: "Your Highness, emotional matters are complicated and changeable. But no matter when and where, we should stick to our inner beliefs and responsibilities. As a prince, Your Highness should put the interests of the country and the people first."

Haoyu's mind suddenly became clear after hearing this. He looked at Lin Wanqing and said gratefully, "Miss Wanqing's words are like a revelation. I understand that no matter how much reluctance and struggle I have in my heart, I should put aside my personal feelings and focus on the overall situation."
