Chapter 1063 Self-mockery
"Tell me why?" Her tone gradually became heavier, with a hint of anger and unwillingness. "Is all this fake? Childhood sweethearts are fake? Love and affection are fake? The promise of growing old together is also fake?"
Her words were like sharp blades, ruthlessly piercing through Ling Ye's disguise and leaving him nowhere to hide.
Facing Wen Wanxi's questioning, Ling Ye remained silent. There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
"What on earth is real in this world?" Wen Wanxi's last words sounded like an accusation against Ling Ye, but also like a mockery of herself.
Just when Wen Wanxi thought Ling Ye would remain silent, he slowly spoke, "There are some things you don't need to know." His voice was low and cold.
Wen Wanxi was so angry that she was shaking all over, tears welling up in her eyes. "Why do you make decisions for me? I have the right to know the truth!"
Ling Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I must know."
Wen Wanxi sneered, "Tell me, maybe I can let it go if you tell me!"
Ling Ye looked up at Wen Wanxi, his eyes seemed to see into the depths of her soul. "Xi'er, why can't you live a little more confused? There are so many true and false things in this world. Do you have to have a result?"
Wen Wanxi was so angry at his words that she laughed out loud, and a tear fell from her eyes. "Ling Ye, you are so ridiculous. All I want is the truth, but you evaded the question. How can I live in confusion? Is it that being kept in the dark by you and continuing to dream is called living in confusion?"
Ling Ye's eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thick black fog, gradually becoming deep and dim, and finally turning completely black.
"Wen Wanxi, I once loved you. It was a pure and beautiful time. At that time, you were unrestrained and uninhibited, like a flower blooming in spring, and you talked to me about everything.
I am just an ordinary prince. I don't need to consider too many things, nor do I need to balance the power in my hands. Our love is so pure, without any impurities. "
As time went by, everything changed. He has now become the emperor, a supreme being who holds the power of life and death. And Wen Wanxi is no longer the simple Wen Wanxi, but the legitimate daughter of the powerful Prime Minister Wen, and the most powerful Concubine Wen in the harem.
"How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?" Ling Ye's words revealed an unspeakable bitterness. In the vortex of power, their love was gradually worn away and became unrecognizable.
He was no longer the prince who could love without worries, and she was no longer the woman who could do whatever she wanted.
"I am no longer me, and you are no longer you." Ling Ye's voice became increasingly low. His nostalgia for the past and his helplessness towards reality intertwined together, making him feel extremely painful.
A bitter smile appeared on Wen Wanxi's lips, which was full of helplessness and despair. Tears rolled down her pale cheeks like a flood.
With a trembling voice, "What did I do wrong? Do I deserve to be treated like this just because I am the daughter of the Prime Minister? Or is it a sin that I grew up with you as childhood sweethearts?"
Her voice became louder and louder, with a hint of hysteria, "I shouldn't be your concubine. I just want to live a simple life, but you dragged me into the vortex of this palace!"
She stared straight at Ling Ye, with disappointment and anger intertwined in her eyes. "Ling Ye, you are so hypocritical! You keep saying that you love me, but your actions have never shown that you love me. You only love yourself."
Wen Wanxi was extremely disappointed with Ling Ye. They grew up together and had experienced a lot. The Wen family also helped him go from being a powerless prince to his current supreme position where he holds the power of life and death.
If Ling Ye didn't want to be emperor at the beginning, the Wen family would not have forced him to become one. The Wen family helped him ascend the throne, and he felt that the Wen family's achievements surpassed theirs.
In fact, neither of them has changed, it's just that they have never seen each other clearly.
Ling Ye was hurt by Wen Wanxi's words. How could he not have loved such a flamboyant and bright beauty like Wen Wanxi? He opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute.
How did they end up like this? Time is truly the sharpest weapon in the world, striking directly at the soul.
