Chapter 1018: Her Overprotectiveness

ead. Damn it, she had just unconsciously fallen for him.She got out of bed nervously, quickly put on her shoes and ran out, "I'm going to check the kitchen."Mo Yunjing's gaze followed her figure, fill...Han Yun was still thinking about how to persuade Zhao Si not to provoke Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang again. Otherwise, based on his ability, he could protect her once, but definitely not a second time.

But before he could figure it out, he felt An Xuetang's strange gaze. He looked up and met An Xuetang's eyes filled with 'pity', and he was stunned.

Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, he quickly waved his hand at An Xue Tang and denied it. "Princess of Beijang, you mustn't misunderstand me. I... my feelings for Zhao Si aren't what you think."

"...."

"What did I have in mind"

"I... my feelings for Zhao Si aren't what you think, Your Highness. They are definitely not like that."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Then why would you go to such lengths to protect her The Qingyun Pavilion is so important to you, yet for her, you're willing to abandon it without a second thought. If it's not an overwhelming love for her, what reason could you possibly have"

Only now did Han Yun realize that in the eyes of others, his painstaking efforts to help Zhao Si were because he was in love with her. They believed it was because of love that he gave up Qingyun Pavilion.

It's truly ironic, isn't it While others might not understand Zhao Si, he certainly understands them.

He was always protecting Zhao Si, every moment of her life. He knew best how she was as a person, from childhood to adulthood. He couldn't deny that perhaps when he was younger, he had developed some feelings for Zhao Si.

As he grew older and gained a deeper understanding of human nature, after getting to know Zhao Si's true character better, he simply couldn't bring himself to like such a vicious woman.

But he couldn't help but protect her, and even the people in Qingyun Pavilion misunderstood him wanting Zhao Si to be the pavilion master's wife. He never denied it.

If Zhao Si was willing, he could indeed make her the Mistress of Qingyun Pavilion, because this was something owed to Zhao Si by their Han family.

Back then, his father was fleeing with his wife and children from enemy pursuit. It was Zhao Si's mother who showed kindness and took them in.

Although the enemies had been evaded for a while, they eventually caught up and stormed his courtyard one night. To protect him, his mother was killed by the attackers. When Zhao Si's wet nurse arrived, she was deeply traumatized by the bloody scene.

At that time, Zhao Si's biological mother was pregnant with twins, and one of them was Zhao Si.

Both children should have been born safely, but that night Zhao Si's mother was frightened. Her husband delivered Zhao Si, but the other child, who hadn't even been born yet, was suffocated in the womb.

Zhao Si's mother was almost killed because of this, although she was later saved, her health was greatly affected.

Although Han Yun was young, he knew very well that Zhao Si's younger brother was the reason his family had met such a tragic end. If not for them, Zhao Si's mother wouldn't be in such poor health.

Later, he didn't know how his father communicated with Zhao Si's mother concubine. He only knew that his father ultimately protected him, taking him and his deceased mother away from the courtyard in the temple.

He later depended on his father for support. After he grew up, his father also kept reminding him that they owed Zhao Si a life. No matter what happened in the future, they had to protect Zhao Si at all costs.

This was the deal made between Han Yun's father and Zhao Si's mother.

Before his death, his father repeatedly urged him to continue protecting Zhao Si, even if it meant sacrificing the Qingyun Pavilion.

It was just so difficult to protect Zhao Si's path. If Zhao Si had been more compliant, it would have been easier. But unfortunately, her personality was anything but obedient.

Not only that, but she also often offended people, with a sharp and domineering temper, attracting numerous threats to her life. Furthermore, her older brother was involved in the battle for succession, which increased the number of people who wanted her dead.

Over the years, if it hadn't been for his people constantly protecting her in the shadows, she might have been in trouble long ago.

During his visit to Tianba Kingdom, he also discreetly communicated with her, urging her to curb her impulsiveness and refrain from coveting others' possessions.

Given her personality, it's doubtful she'd even consider listening.

However, because he knew very well the personalities of Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang, this time besides reprimanding Zhao Si, he also clearly reminded Zhao Li.

After hearing what Han Yun had to say, An Xuetang finally understood what was going on. However, she admired Han Yun's father's character.

Gratitude is a virtue, but Zhao Si's woman might just disappoint them.

Han Yun furrowed his brows at this point, "Your Highness, the Princess of Beijiang, has Zhao Si caused trouble again If possible, I hope that Your Highness, for my sake, will spare her once."

An Xuetang pondered for a moment, then looked at Han Yun's earnest expression and said calmly, "Han Yun, do you know what the Northern Border King means to me"

Hàn Yún was speechless, he didn't know how to answer An Xuě Táng's question. He also didn't understand what the Princess Consort of Beijang meant by asking this.

An Xuetang didn't expect him to answer. She fell silent for a moment before continuing, "King Beijiang and your elder brother are both people I have sworn my life to protect. Whoever dares to harm them, even a single hair on their head, will pay dearly."

Her tone was cold, with no hint of jest or exaggeration.

Han Yun's heart trembled, but he quickly recovered. Wasn't this the Northern Border Princess he knew

Don't be fooled by her seemingly sweet and kind demeanor, for deep down she is fiercely protective. Anyone she considers one of her own will be showered with her unwavering loyalty and support. This is something he greatly admires about Feng Ming.

Because he was the elder brother of the Northern Border Princess, a mainstay in her "own people" camp, he felt envious. Unfortunately, this kind of feeling was all he could have.

Han Yun lowered her head and remained silent for a while before finally saying to An Xue Tang, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me today. I know what to do next."

The Princess Consort of Beijiang called him over and told him this herself. Even if he was stupid, he would know that the Princess Consort of Beijiang was giving him a warning.

Make him understand that she doesn't have to confront Zhao Si now, but her patience has reached its limit. If Zhao Si continues to provoke trouble, then even the emperor himself won't be able to save him.

An Xuetang saw that he understood, so she didn't say anything more. At this point, she said, "En, there will be a time when it is repaid. Actually, there is no need to be drained repeatedly."

He saved Zhao Si time and time again, such a great kindness should be repaid.

Han Yun naturally understood her meaning, so at this moment he stood up and bowed to An Xue Tang, "I understand, anyway, I still want to thank the princess."

An Xuetang nodded slightly to him, sighing inwardly. She was afraid that he understood what she meant, but how to do it, he couldn't figure out for a moment.

Han Yun no longer lingered. He bid farewell to An Xue Tang and left Jingtang Garden.

At this time, Zhao Li and Zhao Si were in the deputy courtyard next door. He went directly to the next door. a noble family. They were just mercenaries who worked for money.We kept their true identities a secret from them before they met Ye, because the kind of work they did before that never distinguished...
