Chapter 255 - 255 fighting a lost battle

255 fighting a lost battle

Zhai Tianyu heard her request and hesitated, even though he knew in his heart that Liu Hui Ying was more than capable to take care of herself, he was still worried. The feeling of foreboding was getting more and more prominent in his heart causing his chest to feel stifled and anxiety to rise in his heart as he turned to look at the window again, he was thinking of going and seeing Liu Hui Ying now that he was done having dinner with Ji Yu.

Ji Yu also noticed that Zhai Tianyu was hesitating which was why she stretched her hand and placed it on top of his causing Zhai Tianyu to turn and look at her in surprise and a little bit of confusion. ” Your majesty,” she said trying to invoke as much feeling as she could from Zhai Tianyu towards her as she looked into his eyes. ” This concubine misses you, it has been so many days and you haven’t even come to my courtyard to see me…if you don’t mind, can you give me just this bit of time of yours. I promise that I will not disturb you for the rest of your night, just a few hours…a simple walk, please I beg you.”

Her words caused Zhai Tianyu to feel slightly guilty as he remembered the promise that he has made to her. Clearly, he promised her that he will take care of her and will do everything that she loved and liked..and here he was even hesitating to go on a walk with her? What has happened to him? Why in the world was he doing such things and that too for the Queen? Since when did the queen start affecting his decisions? And why?

“Let’s go,” Zhai Tianyu was not ready to face the answer to his questions which was why he raised his body off the chair he was sitting in and agreed to Ji Yu’s request. Liu Hui Ying must be safe and maybe he was the one who was thinking too much, she had three ghosts to protect her and her powers were not something that any human could match either, there was no way she will get hurt!

Going on a walk with Ji Yu should not hurt that much.

Ji Yu’s smile turned a degree genuine as she stood from her chair and went to stand next to Zhai Tianyu, at least now she knew that Zhai Tianyu had her in his heart as well. As long as he was willing to let her in, she was sure that she will surely regain the position that she has lost in his heart!

The two of them stepped out of the pavilion and then walked towards the small garden where they used to take walks together when they were not married and because Ji Yu was very much excited, she walked a bit hurriedly wanting to reach the garden as soon as possible and then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu who was walking a step behind her with a leisurely pace and calm expression on his face.

” Your majesty, please walk a bit faster. I heard that tonight is the last night when we can witness the cherry blossoms that you exported from abroad, if we miss it who knows whether or not we might be able to witness it again!” Zhai Tianyu was very fond of things that were pretty and rare which was why when he noticed the cherry blossoms that were brought to his land by a foreigner, he purchased them without even thinking about them at all.

And even Ji Yu fell in love with it, the cherry blossom to her was like a small trip to the past since only the two of them have stood under the tree and watched the cherry blossoms bloom in their full glory and even though she has done the same thing many times before Ji Yu still felt excited whenever she thought about it.

.....

” An Emperor is supposed to be full of dignity and calm, consort,” Zhai Tianyu replied with a small smile on his lips when he saw Ji Yu act like a child.

‘She is still the same as ever,’ he thought in his head before he continued speaking, ” An Emperor’s pace should be as steady as the land only then will he be able to rule over his Empire, the rules clearly state that I cannot run.”

Zhai Tianyu was not lying when he said this, ever since he was a young child, he has heard his grandmother and teacher saying that he should never go against the rules and one of these rules was to never run while he was dressed as the Emperor.

Since he grew up under the teaching of his grandmother, of course, he was now used to following her every order and teaching that she has given him.

Ji Yu heard his response and rolled her eyes as she turned around and then clasped her hands behind her back as she said, ” You are always so calm and controlled your majesty. I wonder when was the last time you lost your calm?” She then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu over her shoulder while the moon shone brightly over the two of them causing a silvery glow to illuminate their bodies. ” And whether or not I will be able to see you in a hurry or not?”

Zhai Tianyu shook his head and then said, ” You think too much consort, I will never lose my calm for anyone since I know the consequences ——”

” Your majesty!” A eunuch who came running behind the two of them interrupted Zhai Tianyu causing the latter to frown as he asked sternly, ” What are you doing? Why are you screaming like this?”

“It’s her majesty! She fell into a pond and her condition is not stable, you should go and see her before she ——” before the eunuch could finish his sentence, he and Ji Yu witnessed a very miraculous scene.

Zhai Tianyu who did not even lose his calm when he heard his father was dead since the man was not kind enough to be cared about, run like he was being chased by something.

Ji Yu who was standing behind looked at Zhai Tianyu who was running like all hell was going to let loose and was stunned. ” Your majesty didn’t you say, no one can ever make you lose your calm? Then what happened now?”

As she stared at Zhai Tianyu’s vanishing back, she realised that she was no longer fighting a fight. She has already lost the battle before it even began.
