Chapter 770: Yi Huiqing Doesn't Want Divorce
Yi Huiqing had to leave Zhao Zhang Wei's study room with a confused state of mind.
He wanted her to give another chance to their relationship.
Standing in front of her courtyard, she suddenly sighed heavily.
She was too tired…too tired to put more effort in this relationship. Especially, the sudden change in Zhao Zhang Wei's attitude had shaken her to the core.
He looked so humble when he apologized just now…completely different from the polite and indifferent attitude he used to maintain in the past.
He said that he had many things to tell her but they would talk tomorrow.
She was sent out of his study room by him in hurry. A part of her heart had a ridiculous thought.
Was he trying to avoid her tonight intentionally?
So that she would not be able to bring the matter of divorce or separation again.
However, she immediately rejected the idea.
He would not need to do that.
She would have understood if he had done so in case he was still a prince. However, just tomorrow morning, he was going to become an Emperor.
He didn't need her clan to be a strong backing for him.
For Yi Huiqing, this had been the only reason Zhao Zhang Wei had married her for. Either this…or that he didn't have any choice.
The marriage was, after all, decreed by his Father Emperor.
"My Lady"
She came out of her trance when she heard Lin Fan's voice. Yi Huiqing looked at her maidservant in a daze.
"My Lady, where did you go so suddenly? This servant had been looking for you for so long."
"Why? Did something happen?"
Yi Huiqing asked in a low voice. However, Lin Fan shook her head and sighed.
"My Lady still needs to take her medicine and then go to sleep."
Lin Fan held her mistress' hand as she led her towards Lantai Courtyard. Since Yi Huiqing had lost a lot of blood when the arrow had stabbed her chest, she was still taking the medicine that helped in making blood inside her body.
"Tomorrow is a big day for My Lady. My Lady needs to have a good sleep so that My Lady will look the most beautiful."
Yi Huiqing didn't say anything at Lin Fan's words.
Her mind was a mess at this moment.
She was full of conflict.
She really wanted to go away somewhere else…however, Zhao Zhang Wei's reminder of her clan had tied her feet.
She couldn't leave her clan in utter humiliation. Her grandfather who had loved her so much didn't deserve that.
Tonight, she didn't even frown when Lin Fan gave her the medicine.
After she had the medicine, she laid down on the bed to sleep. The medicine would take some time to make her sleepy.
So Yi Huiqing could only stare around blankly.
Lin Fan had already left the room.
It was a few moments later, that from the window of her room, a figure suddenly jumped inside the room. Yi Huiqing was staring in the same direction and hence she was startled when she saw this.
She was about to shout for the guards when she heard the familiar voice.
"Huiqing."
Startled, Yi Huiqing looked at the figure again.
"Elder Brother."
Yi Huiqing sighed in relief.
She came out of the bed and walked toward him.
"Why did you come like this? What if someone saw?"
Yi Junjie looked calm in front of his sister's anxiousness. In fact, he knew that Zhao Zhang Wei's shadow guard had already seen him. After Zhao Wang Lei was dead, the prince now felt free to spread his guards inside the Imperial Palace.
However, he didn't care at all.
"I came to talk to you."
Yi Huiqing waited for him to continue. She was worried that something was wrong. Otherwise, why would he come here so suddenly?
"Do you remember that night I asked you if you wanted to separate from the Prince?"
Yi Huiqing stiffened and suddenly remember that something like this indeed seem to have happened. However, the next moment when she heard Zhao Zhang Wei, she was more tongue-tied.
"Did you think about it? What do you want? Elder Brother will support you completely in your decisions."
Yi Huiqing, for a few moments, couldn't say anything.
However, her heart was filled with warmth after hearing Yi Junjie's words. She was not his sister by birth but he had never treated her any less. Sometimes, she would even forget that they were not siblings by birth.
For her, he took such a big risk and entered the Imperial Palace.
Her eyes were suddenly filled with extra moisture but she blinked it away and said softly
"I have decided, Elder Brother."
Yi Junjie nodded his head and waited for her to continue. As she looked at his firm face, Yi Huiqing was sure that her answer would surely disappoint her elder brother.
"I don't wish for separation."
A frown instantly marred Yi Junjie's forehead.
"Huiqing….then do you want a divorce?"
He didn't mind that as well.
It was his sister's happiness that mattered to him in the end.
However. Yi Huiqing shook her head again making Yi Junjie look at her solemnly.
"No, Elder Brother. I don't want to end this marriage."
"Huiqing…"
Yi Junjie was very unhappy with his sister's answer. Did she even know what she was saying?
Could she live with such a man as her husband who would constantly remind her of her dead children?
"What is stopping you, Huiqing? Tell Elder Brother."
He asked her as he looked at her suspiciously.
Yi Huiqing blinked and composed herself soon. In the end, he knew her best. She was afraid that he would come to know that she didn't want a divorce because she didn't want to harm her clan's reputation.
In the end, it would be she, as a woman and her clan who will suffer more than anyone else in all this.
Zhao Zhang Wei was right.
She could run away from here.
But what about her clan?
"I am happy."
She lied with a soft smile on her lips as she walked in another direction so that he would not look at her face and realize that she was lying.
"He apologized to me."
This was the truth. Regardless of what reason Zhao Zhang Wei had, he indeed apologized to her.
However, this didn't calm down Yi Junjie's anger toward Zhao Zhang Wei. He had been shocked that day when he had heard that all along, Zhao Zhang Wei was aware that his sister was being drugged to miscarry but he never did anything.
Such a man, in Yi Junjie's eyes, was equal even if he was present or absent.
His sister deserved much more. In fact, he had wanted to stop the marriage when the decree had come back then but what happened to Li Rui and Yi Huiqing's joyous face when she had sat inside the sedan chair that day had stopped him.
But today…he wanted to save her. However, she was again making a wrong choice.
Yi Junjie felt helpless.
"Qingqing...think again. Could an apology wipe out all the things he had done to you?"
Indeed, it could not.
But in front of her brother, she had to smile gently and say
"He is a prince and soon is going to become an Emperor. He has lowered himself in front of him to apologize…I would not be the following propriety if I became arrogant and didn't forgive."
Yi Junjie frowned clearly disagreeing with his sister's words.
He opened his mouth again to make his sister understand, however, before he could do so, Yi Huiqing spoke
"Elder Brother, you said that you will support me in my decisions."
Yi Junjie opened and closed his mouth unable to retort his sister's words. He had said that but at that time, he had thought she would say that she wanted separation.
When had he thought that the otherwise would happen!
Yi Junjie felt frustrated and helpless. He couldn't back away from his words so he could only sigh in disappointment and say
"You must tell me if you change your mind."
However, when he said this, Yi Junjie frowned realizing that she didn't have any way to inform him.
As if understanding what he was thinking, Yi Huiqing said with the same smile on her lips
"Don't worry, Elder Brother. I would have my own sources in the future."
Yi Junjie understood what she meant by that.
She was going to become an Empress.
However…it didn't ease his worries. But he couldn't do anything.
In the end, he sighed again and left the room.
Yi Huiqing looked at his back with a blank face. There was suddenly an urge inside her heart to stop him and take her away from here to Yi Manor. The place where the people who truly loved her unconditionally lived.
However, she controlled herself and smiled forcefully when he turned to look at her again before he finally left.
When she was sure that he had left, Yi Huiqing walked toward the bed like a lost child.
She laid down on the bed. Perhaps it was because of the effect of medicine, surprisingly she soon found sleep.
