You Will Eventually Be Mine

While everyone was discussing the matter, they suddenly heard Yin Shuo babble from the bed, “All alone, all alone…”

Gu Yi, who had been shouting for Yin Shuo to be treated fiercely, mysteriously unclenched his fists, as Gu ShuBai said: “Forget it.

Since he’s already here, sending him back while he’s unconscious would just cause more trouble.

When he wakes up, we can just ask him to leave.”

Yu Fu nodded, “Good, I will take care of him.

You can all go back.”

This would keep them from needing to stay here to watch over Yin Shuo.

The more they looked at him, the more uncomfortable they would feel, as they were all too eager to give him a beating.

Gu ShuBai dragged her along without giving her any room to argue, “Let the servants take care of him.

Don’t worry.

He won’t die.”

Good people did not live long, while disasters would linger forever.

Someone like Yin Shuo would be able to live on for a long time.

Yu Fu nodded, and the group left the small courtyard together.

After eating dinner, Yu Fu followed the small path and went to take a look.

She heard the sound of someone speaking coming from inside the room.

“… Prime Minister Yin, you collapsed in the alley, and you were brought back by our young miss.

Only after returning and taking a closer look did we find out that it was prime minister, thus you were carried here.”

Yin Shuo paused for a moment, “It was Princess ZhenJiang”

“That’s correct.

Young miss and eldest young sir left a while ago.

Prime Minister Yin must be hungry, right Why not eat a little before leaving”

The servant that was left in the small courtyard was quite cheerful, “What a coincidence, young miss Yin was also staying in this room previously.

Young miss Yin loved eating milk cakes and crystal dumplings the most.

Will you have some”

Yin Shuo looked at the pastries placed on the table and was a little stunned, “JiYao liked eating these things”

The servant said: “That’s right! Did Prime Minister Yin not know”

Yin Shuo became a little timid under his curious gaze.

As an older brother, he had been so cruel toward Yin JiYao, while a servant in Marquis Gu’s Manor knew what she liked to eat.

She had only stayed in Marquis Gu’s Manor for two months, while she had lived in the prime minister’s manor for over seventeen years.

“Hmph, hmph.”

Yu Fu deliberately walked with heavier footsteps.

The people inside heard the sound of movement, and the servant quickly went out to receive her, “Young miss has come”

Yu Fu nodded slightly, “Un, I came to check on Prime Minister Yin.

You can go and take care of your work.

There’s no need to wait here.”

The servant saluted and then departed, as Yu Fu entered the room.

Yin Shuo sat on the bed and looked at her with a gentle expression.

Yu Fu knew that it was because she had saved his life, and because she did not plan on using it against Yin Shuo, she said: “You can get up.

It seems that you weren’t hurt.

While it still isn’t too late in the day, quickly go back to your manor.”

Yin Shuo glanced at the table.

Initially, he had not been particularly hungry, but he suddenly really wanted to eat.

He walked over to the table and sat down, “Do you hate me so much that you won’t even give me some time to drink some hot tea and eat a little”

Naturally, Yu Fu was not thinking such a thing, “I fear that Prime Minister Yin would not dare eat the food provided by Marquis Gu’s Manor.

That’s why I did not say anything.

Since you do dare to eat it, drink some hot milk to warm yourself up.”

Yin Shuo smiled, his eyes showing a rarely-seen gentleness, “Why would I not dare If you wanted to do something bad to me, you would not have brought me back.”

Yu Fu said: “Did you not hear what the servant just said When I brought you back, I had no clue that it was you.

I thought that you were just a normal citizen.”

The corners of Yin Shuo’s lips twitched, as he slowly picked up the cup of milk tea, “I don’t care.

In any case, you saved me.”

For a moment, Yu Fu was at a loss for words.

For a dignified prime minister to throw this sort of a tantrum, this was her first time seeing it.

She found it both interesting and funny.

She could do nothing but lift her cup and take a sip, “If I didn’t save you today, you wouldn’t have died in the snow.

Isn’t that right”

Yin Shuo said: “Oh What would have happened”

Yu Fu rested her face in her hands and carefully pondered, “The people in the prime minister’s manor might have noticed you missing and gone out to look for you, or maybe some other people would have passed by.”

“I left the manor without telling anyone, and there’s nobody in the manor who cares if I live or die, regardless of whether it’s my father, younger sister, or my wife, who is my wife in name only.

It was getting late, and during this time of the year, very few people will be walking around outside, so I would likely not have been found by anyone else.”

Yin Shuo ate at a leisurely pace and looked up at Yu Fu, “So if you didn’t save me, I really might have died on the street tonight.”

Yu Fu was still unconvinced, “That’s impossible.

Based on your ability, if you ended up freezing to death in the snow after getting drunk, you would end up becoming the biggest joke in history.”

She thought to herself that even if nobody saved him, Yin Shuo would have managed to stand up on his own.

He was not too drunk, and even if he was drunk, he would have been much more alert than other people.

How could he have died in such a stupid way

Yin Shuo self-deprecatingly said: “It seems that you view me as some sort of demon that can’t be killed.

In truth, I am nothing more…”

“What”

“It’s nothing.”

Yin Shuo finished his cup of milk tea and looked around the room.

The furnishings in the room were elegant and exquisite with a number of white jade decorations placed on a shelf and an antique vase containing a plum branch.

Rather than a normal guest room, it looked more like a young miss’ embroidery room.

He carefully looked around, “I heard the servant say that this is where JiYao previously lived”

Yu Fu heard him bring him Yin JiYao and suddenly frowned.

She did not want to him to do anything to Yin JiYao and simply said: “Un.”

Yin Shuo spoke with sincere admiration: “This place is much nicer than her room in the prime minister’s manor.

Did you arrange it for her, or was it Gu JiuGe”

Yu Fu heard him bring up Gu JiuGe, and she frowned once more, “Second brother’s arrangement is my arrangement.

Our family shares everything.

JiYao and second brother are good friends, and now she is my good friend.

When she lived here, YuYang was also here.

The two also chatted about everything.”

Kun YuYang.

Naturally, Yin Shuo understood why Kun YuYang would be living in Marquis Gu’s Manor.

It was for no other reason than for fear of being killed by him and the eldest prince for having overheard their subordinates at the hunting ground.

To do this, she traveled a great distance to the west in search of Gu HuaiJiang’s group.

After that, the second prince ascended, and her testimony was no longer relevant.

Only then did Ning TangShu bring her back to his manor.

Yin Shuo did not want to continue talking about this topic, thus he said: “It’s her good fortune that she was able to become your friend.

I am feeling a little dizzy.

Could you accompany me on a walk”

He held his forehead.

As someone with a medical background, Yu Fu subconsciously reached out to check his pulse.

There were no abnormalities.

He looked scholarly, unlike the members of Marquis Gu’s Manor, who were strong and trained in martial arts; however, he looked much healthier than the average person; moreover…

She had never heard of frostbite causing feeling dizziness.

Yin Shuo had been exposed, but his face did not turn red, and his heart rate did not increase, “It might be from having had too much wine.

In any case, I want to go out for a walk.

Could it be that princess isn’t even willing to offer this courtesy as a host”

If it was a walk, it would be a walk.

After this walk, she would have someone send him back to his manor.

She would not allow him to delay.

Yu Fu thought in this way and accompanied him on a walk out of the courtyard.

Yin Shuo adeptly walked toward the garden, while Yu Fu remained two paces behind him.

Their figures were blurry under the moonlight.

After they got further away, another person came around the corner of a small courtyard.

It was none other than Gu ShuBai.

He watched Yin Shuo and Yu Fu with a complicated expression.

After a long pause, he raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The crescent of the new moon was as thin as silk, as fine as gauze, and as white as milk.

He thought for a moment and walked with quiet footsteps, slowly following behind the two.

“I recall the wintersweet in Marquis Gu’s Manor looking very beautiful.

They were originally given to the late emperor as a tribute.

I wonder if they have bloomed this winter”

The two did not have any servants accompanying them, relying entirely on the hazy moonlight to light the path to the garden.

Yu Fu looked around, fearing that someone might see them and think that they had seen ghosts.

With this loss of focus, she did not notice a rock the size of a goose egg.

Stepping on it, she lost her balance and fell forward.

Yu Fu subconsciously extended her arms to protect her head.

This was from when the soldiers had taught her how to fall off of a horse safely.

She knew that if she fell, she needed to protect her head and neck.

The anticipated collision with the ground never came.

Instead, she came into contact with a soft body.

Yu Fu raised her head and saw that Yin Shuo had placed himself under her.

“Are you alright”

She hastily stood up and helped Yin Shuo up.

Though Yin Shuo looked scholarly, he was still a grown man.

She had to put in a lot of effort to pull him up.

Looking closer, the rock that had tripped her was under Yin Shuo’s knee.

It was easy to imagine just how much that must have hurt with her falling on him.

Taking a closer look under the hazy moonlight, Yin Shuo’s complexion had become a bit paler.

“Let’s stop this walk.

Let’s quickly go back and invite an imperial physician to take a look.”

Yin Shuo held her hand and pulled her back to his side, “Don’t get an imperial physician.

How could a grown man like me be that frail Help me over to that rock.

I’ll be fine after resting for a bit.”

Yu Fu took a look.

The pile of rocks in the rockery on the side was perfect for a place to rest.

The small girl helped support the limping man, as Yu Fu acted as a crutch for him to lean on.

She struggled quite a bit to move him, and beads of sweat quickly started appearing on her brow.

“Check if your wound is serious.

Is there any blood”

Yu Fu finally helped him sit on the rockery, and Yin Shuo stretched his legs back and forth multiple times, “There isn’t a wound.”

“How can there be no wound”

Yu Fu looked at the stone that had tripped her.

One side of the stone was darker than the other, thus it was evident that some blood has spilled onto it…

He was bleeding

Yu Fu pointed at the stone, “But there seems to be blood on that stone…”

Yin Shuo argued, “It’s not.

It’s the moonlight being too dim.

That’s why you can’t see clearly.

That’s why you’ve mistaken it for blood.”

His retort had been resolute, and looking at how he had moved his leg back and forth, Yu Fu started to believe him.

If there really was a wound below his knee, it would surely hurt to move his leg in this way; however, Yin Shuo did not seem to be reacting in pain.

She blindly nodded, while Yin Shuo lowered his voice to say: “Even if I bled for you, it should be done.

I owe you my life, and I incited His Majesty to suppress Marquis Gu’s Manor.

I clearly know that His Majesty wants to marry you, but I haven’t done anything to stop him.

Do you not hate me”

Yu Fu froze, not knowing why he would suddenly bring this up, “You have done a number of bad things, but right now, you fell onto that stone to save me.

Naturally, I would care about you.”

Yin Shuo suddenly grabbed her hands and refused to let go no matter how hard Yu Fu struggled, “I don’t want to hear that.

Do you not hate me On the day of my wedding, I confessed my feelings to you and then turned around and broke that promise.

Now, I am going to watch His Majesty appoint you as empress.

Do you not hate me”

Did she hate Yin Shuo

Yu Fu pondered this question.

Back at the wedding, she was very thankful that Yin Shuo did not keep his promise because Yu Fu had only said it in hopes of having him give up.

She did not really hope that he would refuse to marry Princess DanYang.

When he said those words of gratitude to the late emperor, Yu Fu was able to let out a sigh of relief.

Now, he refused to persuade Ning ChengZhi to not appoint her empress.

In the end, he was hoping that Marquis Gu’s Manor would step forward to oppose Ning ChengZhi, so that he might be able to reap the rewards.

Yin Shuo’s hostility toward Marquis Gu’s Manor was not something that formed just one or two days ago.

Yu Fu had been angry and disgusted, but it probably did not reach hatred.

She thought about it, “I don’t hate you.

You like power.

You just want to be the one who stands above all other officials.

This is what you truly want.

Though I don’t agree with this, I can understand that everyone has their own desires.”

Yin Shuo instantly felt extremely lonely.

He would rather Yu Fu say that she hated him, hate him for not keeping his promise, and hate him for watching from the sidelines while Ning ChengZhi appointed her empress.

But she did not say it.

Not only did she say that she did not hate him, but she said that she understood.

Before Yin Shuo met her, he had never truly felt anything for any girl.

He did not have much experience with emotions; however, he understood one thing…

Yu Fu did not hate him, thus she did not love him.

If she felt any love for him, she would be angered by his inaction, but she was not angry.

Yin Shuo had never felt so disappointed.

He urgently tried to explain, “Yu Fu, aren’t you disappointed in me That’s why you can’t even contemplate hating me”

Yu Fu was keenly aware of the change in his mood; however, she could not tell what had caused it.

She said that she did not hate him, so should he not be happy

She hastily shook her head, “That’s not it.

Eldest brother and I went to the prime minister’s manor to just do our best and leave everything else to the heavens.

We never felt that you would really be willing to help us.

After all, the prime minister’s manor views Marquis Gu’s Manor as the enemy.

How could you possibly be willing to help the enemy”

“Marquis Gu’s Manor is indeed the enemy, and father views you and Marquis Gu’s Manor as being one entity, but you have never been an enemy in my eyes!”

A long, long time ago, Yin Yan had instructed him to investigate Yu Fu’s identity.

He even told Yin JiYao to get close to Gu JiuGe to try and learn about Yu Fu’s identity.

Yin Yan suspected her identity, her motives, and what Marquis Gu’s Manor was planning with her.

But to him, he only cooperated in the investigation because he loved the beautiful and smart little girl.

It was because his heart throbbed when he first saw her.

She was like a clear spring in the mountains with the liveliness of a fairy that lived in the mountains.

She was completely different from normal people.

She was the most beautiful person in the world, and she was the first existence that he wanted to protect.

Yin Shuo suddenly shouted, and Yu Fu took a step back in fear.

She suddenly realized why he was so distracted today, why he had drank so much wine, and why he had nearly frozen to death in the snow.

Something had to have happened between him and Yin Yan; otherwise, Yin Shuo would not be despairing to the point of muttering about being all alone while unconscious.

They were the words that Gu ShuBai had used to scold him.

Yu Fu tried to free herself from his grasp and retreated once more, “Let go.

Don’t force me to use techniques that I have reserved for enemies.”

Yin Shuo was stunned but quickly relinquished.

Naturally, he knew what methods Yu Fu would use against enemies.

She had never been a weak and powerless girl.

She had a mysterious weapon hidden up her sleeve.

She could kill without spilling blood.

“Very well, I’ll let go.”

Yu Fu earnestly said: “Former prime minister is not wrong.

Marquis Gu’s Manor and I are a family that cannot be separated.

Though I have never changed how I addressed him, in my mind, head general is my father, and my elder brothers are my elder brothers.

We are a family.

You and Marquis Gu’s Manor are enemies, which means that you are my enemy.”

Yin Shuo said: “Yu Fu, you clearly know that I like you.

I can’t possibly…”

Yu Fu coldly looked away, “Don’t speak about liking me.

With things as they are, those words sound laughable.”

Yin Shuo anxiously stood up, “Do you really think that I would just watch Ning ChengZhi appoint you empress Did you really think that only Gu ShuBai would come running over this”

“You are mistaken.

Even if he appoints you empress, you will eventually be mine!”
