Can Chapter 188 break the deadlock?
But soon, the Empress Dowager's assassination attempt came. Zhou Yuan's failure to act in time made Su Yinyin lose all hope.
Su Yinyin's eyes hardened and hardened. She understood that in this complex world, only by relying on herself could she protect herself and her child. The baby could grow up happily without a father. As for Zhou Yuan, Su Yinyin now felt that there were plenty of men out there.
Having figured these questions out, Su Yinyin suddenly understood. When Su Yinyin reached the palace gate, she saw the First Elder in the distance.
The old man stood beside the carriage, his posture upright, his gaze focused on the direction of the palace gate, the cold wind ruffling the hem of his clothes!
Su Yinyin walked towards the eldest son and said softly, "It's so cold, why aren't you staying inside the carriage?" Su Yinyin's voice was gentle, tinged with concern.
The old man smiled and said, "It's not cold. Standing here, I can see you immediately."
Lao Yi's smile was like the warm spring sun, full of sincerity and warmth!
"Jin, when did you become so sweet-talking?" Su Yinyin said coquettishly!
"Miss, don't joke! The Regent is following behind." The old man's heart suddenly raced, and the blush on his face became even more pronounced!
Su Yinyin didn't even look back the day after tomorrow. She took a step forward and stopped less than a step away from Lao Yi.
"Jin, lower your head," Su Yinyin said to the old man.
The old man obediently lowered his head.
Su Yinyin raised her arms and wrapped them around Lao Yi's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips. The kiss came suddenly, and Su Yinyin's actions were resolute and decisive.
This scene was witnessed by Zhou Yuan, who was following behind. Zhou Yuan's eyes widened like copper bells, and his expression froze instantly. Zhou Yuan felt as if his breath had stopped at that moment. His eyes were filled with shock and indescribable pain!
Zhou Yuan lifted his foot and walked forward. The closer he got, the clearer it became that the two were embracing. Zhou Yuan's steps were heavy and urgent, each step seemingly carrying boundless anger!
Su Yinyin released Lao Yi and turned to look at Zhou Yuan, who was not far from her, her face showing no sign of panic. Su Yinyin's expression was calm, as if she had already anticipated Zhou Yuan's appearance.
At that moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly coughed up blood. Su Yinyin was slightly surprised, but quickly regained her composure.
She coldly said to Zhou Yuan, "Your Highness, why do you do this? I have nothing to do with you now." Su Yinyin's voice was icy and devoid of any warmth!
Zhou Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with grief: "Yinyin, how could you be so heartless? Even if you don't love me, you shouldn't humiliate me like this."
Zhou Yuan's eyes were filled with despair and pain, and his voice trembled!
Su Yinyin remained silent. Seeing this, Zhou Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Fine, it's my own fault." Zhou Yuan turned and left, his steps faltering, his back looking forlorn.
Su Yinyin looked at Zhou Yuan's lonely figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
But she knew that the past relationship was like ashes, impossible to rekindle. She pulled the old man into the carriage, and as she lowered the curtain, she silently told herself that from now on she would only live for herself and her baby.
Zhou Yuan walked like a zombie, Su Yinyin's words echoing in his mind, filled with regret!
The old man glanced at Su Yinyin beside him; Su Yinyin at that moment was heartbreaking.
Lao Yi was struggling internally, and really wanted to go up and hug Su Yinyin to comfort her.
But he was just a subordinate; what right did he have to stand beside her?
At that moment, Lao Yi suddenly realized that ability, wealth, and power were very important. He desperately craved them.
The carriage moved slowly forward. Su Yinyin leaned against the window, her eyes vacant and lifeless, staring blankly out the window, lost in thought.
The old man hesitated several times before finally saying, "Miss, you still care about the Prince, don't you?"
Su Yinyin snapped out of her daze and gave Lao Yi a cold look: "What nonsense are you talking about? I've long since given up on him. I'm just a little sad."
The old man lowered his head and stopped talking.
After a while, Su Yinyin said softly, "Jin, don't take today's events to heart." Su Yinyin's tone softened, and her voice was gentle.
"Miss, I understand." There was a hint of heartache in the old man's voice.
Back at the mansion, Su Yinyin locked herself in her room.
The old man paced back and forth in front of the door, his brow furrowed, occasionally listening intently to the sounds coming from inside.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan fell ill after returning to the palace and never recovered.
Shortly after Su Yinyin's carriage left, Zhou Yuan fainted. He was taken back to the Prince's mansion by An Ying.
Zhou Yuan lay on the bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his expression pained, repeatedly calling out Su Yinyin's name. Shadow, having no other choice, gave Zhou Yuan the last remaining pill Su Yinyin had given him. A moment later, Zhou Yuan woke up.
When the old man saw that Su Yinyin was locked in her room, he became anxious, realizing that lunch was already over. So he ran to the restaurant and bought Su Yinyin's favorite dishes.
The old man carried the food to Su Yinyin's door and gently knocked. "Miss, I bought your favorite dishes. Please eat some." His voice was gentle and caring, and the food in his hands was still steaming.
There was no response from inside for a long time. Old Man Yi was very worried and was about to break down the door when it opened. There was Su Yinyin, dressed in a tight black outfit. The clothes on her upper and lower body clung to her body. Su Yinyin's forehead was covered in sweat.
The old man, disregarding everything else, asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you...?"
Su Yinyin wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I'm fine, I just did some exercise indoors." Su Yinyin exercised in her room to release her emotions. After exercising, she felt refreshed and in a good mood!
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the food, saying, "Miss, please eat something first, don't go hungry."
Su Yinyin glanced at the food, took it, and said, "Jin, thank you for your hard work."
The old man nodded: "Miss, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
Su Yinyin sat down and began to eat, while Lao Yi silently watched over her from the side.
After taking a few bites, Su Yinyin looked up at Lao Yi and said, "Jin, will you eat with me?"
Old Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Miss."
The two finished their meal quietly together, and Su Yinyin seemed to be in a much better mood.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager sat on the couch, her face grim. The palace maids and eunuchs around her trembled with fear, not daring to utter a sound. After a moment, the Empress Dowager calmly ordered everyone to leave. No matter how important the matter, no one was to disturb her.
