The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 431 - 430: To Think It Would Come to This

Chapter 431: Chapter 430: To Think It Would Come to This
Ye Ying wore an expression of agony; as someone who usually bled rather than cried, his tears seemed to whirl in his eyes. It was as if the years spent with Lan Xihe had suffocated him to the brink of death.
Seeing Ye Ying’s painful expression, Lan Xihe felt as if a dagger was fiercely stabbing her heart.
The spot on her heart had already been stabbed into a bloody mess.
The medicine forcibly poured into her mouth didn’t even taste bitter.
No bitterness could compare to the bitterness in her heart.
"I didn’t destroy you, I love you..." In her heart, Lan Xihe repeated these words incessantly.
"Lan Xihe, do you know what the years have destroyed in me?" Ye Ying’s voice was hoarse, and a tear uncontrollably fell from his left eye, streaming down to his neck.
Some tears were scalding, burning the words he wanted to say right off his lips.
For him, voicing these words would mean revealing his cracked and unsightly wounds, bloodily displaying them for others to see.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "You destroyed my simplest, most genuine, most perfect love for a person..." He paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "Do you know that this was something I had painstakingly built over years with whole-hearted sincerity and purity, yet because of you, it all came to ruin..."
His words dropped with a heart-wrenching sorrow, mournful as though he’d lost half his life.
Ye Ying couldn’t control his tears and let them flow freely.
In the future, he would no longer have the right to say he loved someone wholly, giving them all his sincerity.
He felt tainted.
He despised himself, even feeling a bit of self-loathing.
Seeing that the forcibly given medicine to Lan Xihe had been finished, Ye Ying tossed away the bowl, wiped the tears off his face, and, ignoring the injuries on his feet, staggered outside.
Night fell, but he didn’t care and ran into the depths of the forest.
He didn’t return for the entire night.
He seemed like a beast that had lost its most precious possession, hiding in a corner, licking its wounds alone.
Sounds of sobbing echoed through the endless night, a sound filled with utmost despair, utmost pain, and utmost sadness.
The beasts in the forest heard it and turned away.
...
Jun Ning found Qi Xiao had come again when she rose early.
This Qi Xiao, upon hearing news of her injury yesterday, came to see her. He ended up babbling in her tent, squandering time till late at night without getting to the point.
Later, when she was about to sleep, he had no choice but to leave. It was then that he suddenly blushed, held her on the bed, and forcibly unwrapped the bandages around her injury, checking and reapplying medicine as he did so.
In the process, looking at her deep wound visible to the bone, his eyes turned red, nearly crying.
Only because she looked unwell and showed some irritability did he barely manage to hold back his tears.
He left taking three steps and turning back, like a little sulking woman.
Today, he’s here again.
However, probably afraid she didn’t like it, he no longer acted like a sulking woman but returned to his previous upright and aloof demeanor.
He also brought some food.
"Crown Prince, come have breakfast, it’s a nourishing porridge I’ve specially arranged for someone to make for you..."
Qi Xiao placed the porridge he brought on the table, then searched around for Jun Ning. Seeing her sitting on the bed reading a letter with no intent to eat, he rushed to her side and asked, "Crown Prince, won’t you have breakfast?"
Jun Ning, looking at the letter in her hands, said, "Let me finish reading this letter first..."
This letter was delivered by a servant from Ye Ying’s camp early in the morning, and it was said to be addressed to her personally.
The more Jun Ning read the contents of the letter, the tighter her brow furrowed, the more icy the chill emanating from her body became.
Seeing this, Qi Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Crown Prince, you don’t look well. Has something happened?"
Jun Ning had finished reading the letter and put it away, saying flatly, "Lan Xihe suddenly miscarried and was thrown back to Bei Xia’s military camp. Because of the previous annihilation by the beasts, Lan Xihe’s presence in the military camp was already precarious. Now being thrown back in such an unseemly manner, it’s feared she won’t die but won’t live half a life either..."
Qi Xiao pursued, "Who caused her miscarriage? And who threw her back to Bei Xia?"
Before Jun Ning could answer, Qi Xiao continued, "It was Ye Ying, right?"
Jun Ning nodded, "Yeah, it was Ye Ying."
"Why did he do this?" Qi Xiao wondered, "We’ve heard before that he and Lan Xihe were husband and wife and seemed to be deeply in love, quite famous in Bei Xia. What has happened now for things to reach this point?"
Jun Ning could roughly guess the reason but hadn’t expected Ye Ying to act so ruthlessly, leaving no room for Lan Xihe.
It must be understood, they were once teacher and pupil!
Their relationship wasn’t too close, but it wasn’t to the point of giving each other half a life either.
Regarding this matter, Jun Ning had thoughts but refrained from commenting.
Much in life goes unfelt unless it pierces one’s own skin, so the pain remains unknown.
Ye Ying must be very, very pained, pained to the point of unbearable, which is why he treated Lan Xihe this way.
"Ye Ying hasn’t returned since last night, I’ll go out and look for him..."
