Chapter 126 I Want to See Her
Ye Jinxiu frowned and pondered for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind to hide the cruel fact that Ye Wuyou was already married from his brother.
He forced a smile and comforted her: "She is living a very happy life in Chu State. You don't have to worry too much."
Then he repeated it again, as if trying to make his statement more convincing: "It's true, she is really doing quite well."
Ye Chen looked at his brother's determined eyes. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he chose to trust him.
He sighed softly and said, "Okay, since you said so, I naturally believe it." However, despite answering like this, Ye Chen couldn't let it go deep in his heart.
Ye Jinxiu patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said earnestly: "You just woke up, and your body has not yet fully recovered. The most important thing at the moment is to recuperate with peace of mind and recover your health as soon as possible. Let's talk about other things later."
Ye Chen knew his current condition very well, and it would take time for his body to recover. He nodded gratefully, indicating that he understood his brother's concern and good intentions.
In this way, time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Ye Chen devoted himself to the process of recuperating his body, and his physical condition gradually improved.
One day, the sun was shining brightly. Brothers Ye Jinxiu and Ye Chen sat around the table, drinking wine together. After three rounds of drinking, Ye Chen was silent for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak out the idea buried deep in his heart: "Brother, I plan to go to Chu State to look for You'er in person. Only when I see her current appearance with my own eyes, can I really put my mind at ease."
After hearing this, Ye Jinxiu's expression changed slightly. He stared at Ye Chen and gently persuaded him, "Ye Chen, after all, you have been separated for too long. Maybe she has already married and has her own family. Even if you meet, what can you do? It will only make both of you more miserable..."
"Get married? I have never thought about this question. I must see with my own eyes that the person she marries can give her happiness. Only when I see her living a happy and fulfilling life, I will feel satisfied. After all, I had to leave without saying goodbye because of some things. I originally thought that after everything was settled, I would come back to take her back to the Southland, but who could have expected that an accident would happen.
Ye Jinxiu gently patted Ye Chen's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself too much. You also have your own unspeakable difficulties and are helpless, right?"
Then he added: "This throne originally belonged to you. Now that you have woken up and recovered, it is time for me to return the throne to you."
"Brother, you know that I have never cared about the throne and power. Ever since I met You'er, my only wish has been to give her happiness, to take care of her, and to love her for the rest of her life. But... I failed her. She must be very resentful of me for leaving without saying goodbye."
Ye Jinxiu looked at Ye Chen, who was in pain, and had many things in his heart that he wanted to tell him, but he was also worried that Ye Chen would not be able to bear the blow after knowing the truth. This contradictory psychology put Ye Jinxiu in a dilemma. How could he stop Ye Chen from going to Chu at this moment?
"Royal brother, I understand why you don't want me to go to the State of Chu. You are worried that I won't be able to bear it after witnessing You'er getting married. But please rest assured, as long as I can confirm with my own eyes that she is happy and well, I will resolutely let go." Ye Jinxiu stared at Ye Chen's determined eyes, knowing that it was no longer possible to find excuses to stop him.
Although Ye Chen's body was gradually recovering, he was not completely safe yet. If he let him go alone at this moment, Ye Jinxiu would really be worried.
"I can agree to let you go to Chu, but the time is not right yet. The truth of your injury has not been found out yet, and your body has not fully recovered. When your body is back to normal and the cause of your injury is thoroughly investigated, I will send Lin Mu to return to Chu with you. Is that okay?"
"Very good, I will follow your wishes. As for the throne, you should know that I like freedom and unrestrainedness by nature, and you are more suitable to be the king of the Southern Kingdom than me. I hope you can sit on the throne with peace of mind and govern the Southern Kingdom in an orderly manner on my behalf."
As for Ye Jinxiu, he has doted on Ye Chen since he was a child. Since Ye Chen doesn't like a restrained life, he will satisfy him. As long as he is healthy and safe, no matter what decision he makes, no matter what he wants to do, he will unconditionally agree to him, help him, and protect him. After all, he is the only brother left in the world and the person closest to him. Now Ye Chen has finally escaped death and survived. He will unconditionally support him in anything he wants to do. As for Ye Wuyou... Ye Jinxiu is hesitating whether to tell her that Ye Chen woke up? Even if he told her, what would change? According to Xiao Chuhan's character, knowing the existence of Ye Chen, would he choose to believe her as before?
