Chapter 18: I Just Like You
Translator: Flying Lines
Yun Cang had given Hua Qingxin an opportunity, and she had assured that she would not meet with Yunhai secretly. If she had kept her promise, she would have nothing to do with this mess, and Yun Cang would not have conclusive evidence of Prince Yunhai’s guilt.
But she failed to keep it.
So, Yun Cang had to take this opportunity to root Yunhai out.
Hua Qingxin’s eyes were filled with tears. She was inexcusable for both Yun Cang and Yunhai. It seemed she had betrayed both of them.
Just as Hua Qingxin was trying to explain, Yunhai turned to her and drew his sword, “I’ll kill you first, bitch!”
Hua Qingxin was frightened, but deep in mind Yunhai’s sudden change of attitude made her feel sick.
This was the man she had loved, wanted to marry, ready to die for and serve as his spy.
But now, when he was doomed, he just doubted her, abandoned her and even wanted to kill her.
Yun Cang frowned and promptly pulled Hua Qingxin behind his back, “Wei Jun, arrest him.”
Sword in hand, Wei Jun approached Yunhai and warned, “Your Highness, please give up useless resistance, or you may get hurt.”
Yunhai noticed that Yun Cang was standing behind Wei Jun. He was not sure if he could kill Yun Cang and get out of it safely.
Finally, after a sigh, he put his sword back into the sheath with great resentment.
Wei Jun took away his sword and arrested him.
On the other hand, under the moonlight, Yun Cang and Hua Qingxin stood under the shadow of threes. Hua Qinxin’s face was full of sorrow.
Yun Cang looked at her, as if she was a child who had made a serious mistake.
“On your knees!” He ordered with a low voice.
Hua Qingxin knelt down. Her hair swayed gently in the night breeze around her white neck.
Yun Cang stepped forward, raised her chin with his index finger so that she could look at him, “Do you still remember your promise?”
“Your Majesty…” Hua Qingxin held his hand under her chin. His big hand was a bit cold. “I really don’t bear to see you two killing each other.”
Yun Cang smiled bitter, “I’m afraid you just can’t bear to see Yunhai get killed. You’re just worried about him, right?”
“Your Majesty, I did wrong. I admit all my guilts.” Hua Qingxin held the emperor’s hand tightly and begged, “It doesn’t matter how you punish me. But for the sake of your brotherhood, please show him mercy.”
“You’re still pleading for him?” Yun Cang said with an extreme low voice, his face turning formidably ashen.
“I will never bring up his name again. This is the last time.” Hua Qingxin couldn’t restrain her feeling anymore, with tears rolling down her checks, “Your Majesty, he doesn’t trust me anymore, so I won’t do anything for him from now on. Please forgive him and show him some mercy, he will be grateful for that forever…”
Obviously, she had tried hard to restrain her feelings. Being used and betrayed by her beloved man, she must have been overwhelmed by sadness, but she couldn’t let it out… and had to beg for that man.
She had put her own future aside.
Her tears were bright against the stars and dark sky. Yun Cang stopped frowning gradually, wept her tears and helped her up, “Honey, do you know why I like you?”
Hua Qingxin felt that Yun Cang’s anger had disappeared. Now he was calm, and peaceful.
She was baffled for a while. Recalling how they met, she replied seriously with confidence, “Because I’m pretty.”
“…” Yu Cang gazed at Hua Qingxin quietly. A blow of wind raved over, just like a jeer at their silence, “Partly because you’re brazenfaced.”
Hua Qingxin lowered her head. She didn’t understand why an emperor would be obsessed with her. She whispered, “Those court officials and ministries are also brazenfaced, why don’t you like them?”
“Because I’m not interested in men!”
