However, as I looked at Han Wen's excited expression, I felt a bit drowsy.
I raised my head to look at Han Wen and said, "I remember."
Han Wen was momentarily stunned by my words, then looked at me with joy.
I thought for a moment and added, "I remember everything."
I expected Han Wen to be happy.
But Han Wen's face turned pale.
Han Wen stared blankly at me and said, " Huan, are you angry with me?"
I shook my head and replied, "No."
Han Wen seemed somewhat unconvinced and continued, "I ignored you the other day because I was upset that you broke the jade pendant I gave you, so I spoke to you coldly."
I thought for a moment and said, "I understand."
Upon hearing this, Han Wen seemed a bit happier and hurriedly said, "You don't know; I've glued those jade pieces back together."
"Look, these are the fragments. I found the best craftsman to fix them. Although they don't look as good as the complete pendant, they're not too far off."
Han Wen carefully held out the jade fragments in front of me, hoping for my approval.
I looked at the jade fragments and felt speechless.
I raised my head to look at Han Wen and said, "They're ugly."
"Uh?" Han Wen seemed not to have heard me clearly.
I continued, "These jade fragments are ugly; you should throw them away."
Upon hearing this, Han Wen's eyes reddened as he silently put away the jade fragments.
I felt puzzled and said, "You weren't like this before."
Han Wen lowered his head and softly replied, "I know."
I looked down at Han Wen and asked, "Do you cherish this jade pendant?"
Han Wen shook his head and said, "No, I cherish you."
I was taken aback for a moment, as if I understood something.
Han Wen continued, " Huan, 'A pearl covered in dust will eventually shine,' it wasn't my intention for Jiang Zhizhu to see that."
I raised an eyebrow and said, "You did it on purpose."
Han Wen shook his head and replied, "I just inadvertently let Jiang Zhizhu see the letter you wrote to me back then."
I lowered my gaze and said, "Oh."
"However, I have kept those letters all this time. Whenever I have some free time, I take them out to read."
I was a bit surprised and looked up at Han Wen, saying, "You still have those letters?"
Han Wen nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I have kept all those letters."
I felt a bit touched.
Han Wen continued, " Huan, I know you resent me for making Jiang Zhizhu the Empress."
I lowered my gaze again and said, "No."
Han Wen shook his head and said, "You do."
It seemed Han Wen thought of something and continued, " Huan, King Shu is not dead, and the kingdom is not stable."
Han Wen looked down at me and said, " Huan, you also know that Jiang Zhizhu's position as Empress is merely a title."
I looked up at Han Wen and said, "I know."
Han Wen continued, " Huan, I will not let Jiang Zhizhu become the Empress."
I lowered my gaze again and said, "Mm."
Han Wen told me that Jiang Zhizhu remained in the palace because she was hiding King Shu's child.
Han Wen went on to say, " King Shu faked his death and took away my assassins."
I frowned and asked, "Your assassins?"
Han Wen nodded and said, "Yes, my assassins."
Han Wen seemed reluctant to elaborate further and continued, "So, I made Jiang Zhizhu the Empress to draw King Shu out."
I was a bit confused and asked, "Why?"
Han Wen looked at me and said, "Because she is King Shu's Achilles' heel."
Han Wen continued, " King Shu will not give up her offspring."
I was somewhat surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
Han Wen looked at me seriously and said, "Because Jiang Zhizhu's child is the only leverage she has over King Shu."
Han Wen seemed very confident as she added, "So, King Shu will definitely show up for the sake of her child."
Han Wen continued, "It turns out I was right."
She looked down at me and said, " Huan, during the Duan Yang Festival, King Shu couldn't hold back any longer."
I lowered my gaze.
Han Wen went on, " Huan, don't worry. Once we deal with King Shu, I will strip Jiang Zhizhu of her title as Empress."
" Huan, do you remember what I said?"
"I said that in this life and the next, I will only recognize you as my Wife Ruler."
