Chapter 125 Sincere Feelings
Bei Zhanye's face was filled with pain and struggle.
Bei Yingchen is a stubborn person. Once he sets his mind on something, he will fight to the end.
Just like now, he kowtowed and begged desperately, and he would not stop even if his head was broken and bleeding.
"Princess, you'd better speak quickly. You know the young prince's temper better than I do. As long as you don't tell him, even if he faints, he will continue to kowtow after he wakes up." Yi Qianhuan and Bei Yingchen have been together for two days and have thoroughly understood this man's style of doing things.
Bei Yingchen is a reckless man, but a reckless man's methods may not be ineffective.
Bei Zhanye sighed and reached out to support Bei Yingchen: "I know, get up quickly, I will tell you the truth."
"Mother!" Bei Yingchen stood up, not caring about the wound on his forehead that was still bleeding, "Are you really my mother?"
Bei Zhanye kicked Bei Yingchen in the calf and said, "How dare you question me? Are you itching for trouble?"
Bei Yingchen was kicked and fell to one knee.
But he was not angry at all. Instead, he dragged his not-so-flexible leg and stumbled to Yi Qianhuan, "Madam, did you see that? This is my mother. She never wastes words when it comes to taking action!"
Seeing Bei Yingchen smiling like a fool despite his injuries, Yi Qianhuan rubbed his brows.
The princess also felt ashamed, so she quickly pulled Bei Yingchen over and asked the servants to come and treat his wounds.
After treating the wound, Bei Yingchen dismissed his attendants and asked, "Mother, what happened?"
The princess sat down beside the bed and took the hand of the sleeping Bei Zhanye.
"It's a long story." The princess looked forward and slowly recounted the story of that year.
About twenty years ago, the Prince Regent was approaching thirty years old.
At that time, Princess Yuerong was just born, and the Regent and his family were on the border fighting against the enemy.
Princess Shangguan Fu has always been worried about the fate of the Regent, and often goes in and out of Northern Frontier Kingdom, trying to find some way to prolong the life of the Regent.
However, Shangguan Fu never found any solution.
On the day of the Regent's 30th birthday, the enemy army launched a massive attack, and the Regent went to the battlefield with the determination to die.
The Regent won a great victory, but he was seriously injured and was about to die.
At that time, Shangguan Fu finally found a secret method, which was to share her birthday with the Regent through complementarity.
"Before I used the secret method, I was even ready to exchange my life for the prince's life." Shangguan Fu looked at Bei Zhan Ye lying on the bed, her eyes full of tenderness.
"But I didn't expect that the shared birthday mentioned in the book meant letting the prince's soul enter my body so that the two of us could exchange souls."
"There are countless secret arts in this world, but no matter what they are, they are all based on a balance. It is impossible to do whatever you want. You can share your birthday with the Regent, but if you want to accomplish something like this that goes against the will of Heaven, you will have to pay a price."
Yi Qianhuan leaned on the cushion behind her, propping up her face with her jade hands: "And the soul exchange is the price."
"Not only that. After our souls were exchanged, I was fine, but the prince still had trouble staying awake using my body." Shangguan Fu started to cry as she spoke, "It's all my fault that I didn't learn the skills well enough. That's why I dragged the prince down and made him a walking corpse lying on the bed..."
"Princess, you are wrong. The secret method you used is perfect. Otherwise, it would not have been hidden from my eyes in the beginning."
"Then why can't Your Majesty live a normal life like me?" Shangguan Fu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Yi Qianhuan thought about it, and then said, "Because he doesn't want to."
Shangguan Fu and Bei Yingchen both showed surprised expressions.
"Because the prince is unwilling to prolong his life in this way, he refuses to use the princess' body. Princess, as long as you have strong faith, you can complete the secret method. Thoughts are the key to controlling everything. You can use your thoughts to complete the secret method, and the prince can rely on his strong willpower to resist your body."
Yi Qianhuan paused and said, "I think when the prince occasionally wakes up, he must have told you that he doesn't want to live like this, right?"
Shangguan Fu was guessed right, and tears welled up in her eyes for a moment: "He said, he said more than once that he didn't want to drag me down like this, it's me who is stubborn. Besides, the secret method has been completed, and I have no way to get rid of this state..."
"So, the mother I bumped into last time wasn't actually my mother, but my father?" Bei Yingchen suddenly realized, and the sadness in his eyes deepened. "No wonder my father was so cold when he saw me at that time. I guess he didn't want me to see him surviving by borrowing my mother's skin."
Yi Qianhuan sat aside and listened silently, his fingers lightly sweeping across the rim of the cup.
At this time, she finally understood the meaning of the eight words left by the former national master.
Yin and Yang follow your heart, destiny and people bless you
The representatives of yin and yang are Bei Zhanye and Shangguan Fu. They exchanged souls, which was equivalent to following Shangguan Fu's wishes and disrupting the yin and yang between them.
The success of all this means that Shangguan Fu has indeed changed the prince's fate of early death, which was originally destined by God, through human means.
Everything the former national teacher determined was correct.
But no one expected that Bei Zhanye's feelings for Shangguan Fu were real.
Maybe Bei Zhanye did choose Shangguan Fu in order to save his life at the beginning, but he did not want to use Shangguan Fu to prolong his life.
I have heard for a long time that Bei Zhanye has been very loving to Shangguan Fu since they got married, and Yi Qianhuan now completely believes this statement.
If Bei Zhanye treated Shangguan Fu badly, Shangguan Fu would not be willing to protect him with her life.
And if Bei Zhanye was not sincere, he would not have always resisted using Shangguan Fu's body.
Both of them are willing to sacrifice for each other.
It’s a pity that fate played such a tortuous destiny on the couple, which led to the current result.
Shangguan Fu almost cried and fainted: "Prince, why are you so stupid? If you really die, I will not live either!"
"But...but I can't keep using you to survive." At this moment, Bei Zhanye, who had kept his eyes closed, opened his eyes.
Bei Yingchen looked at Shangguan Fu and saw a determined expression on her face.
Although he knew that his father was using his mother's body, Bei Yingchen recognized the expression and eyes on his mother's face at a glance. They were exactly what he thought his father should look like!
"Father!" Bei Yingchen knelt heavily in front of Bei Zhanye, "I am an unfilial son. I didn't even notice that my father and mother were suffering!"
"It's not your fault. I was just too greedy. I wanted to live after all. But I didn't know at the time that your mother had to pay such a painful price to extend my life. When I found out, I was no longer willing to live with this life."
Bei Zhanye's voice was filled with a sigh of relief: "However, delaying this life until now is not completely without benefits. Although it is completely different from the way I wanted, I still saw how you and Yuerong grew up."
"Father...!" Bei Yingchen's face was filled with pain, and he quickly lowered his head to hide the tears rolling out of his eyes.
“Don’t be sad. I should have lost my life twenty years ago. It’s enough for me to survive until now. I don’t want to drag down anyone around me anymore.” Bei Zhan Ye sat up with the help of Shangguan Fu.
