Chapter 640: Chapter 622 - Maybe, He Won’t Get Better in This Life!_1

"The lady of the Jun Family?"

His Majesty arched his eyebrows and couldn’t help but glance up at Qin Yi. Suddenly, a fierce cough erupted from his lungs.

Eunuch Wu nearby hurriedly stepped forward to gently soothe him. His waist was bending particularly low and there wasn’t a hint of any emotion present on his face.

Qin Yi was still on high alert, watching for any movements in the night sky outside the door, seemingly unaware of the strange atmosphere unfolding inside the room.

Ye Han was on his knees, grounded without making a single move.

His Majesty’s violent coughing was accompanied by frantic thoughts.

If it were to be said that the reason Princess Jun was still unwed was related to a whim of his from the past. But the world’s matters are roundabout, occasionally one really has to consider destiny’s arrangements. Currently, he had secretly instructed the Ministry of Rites to select an auspicious date and time for Beloved Official Qin and the legitimate daughter of the Jun Family. Yet, Ye Han chose this moment to propose marriage, which prompted him to overthink the situation.

Once the cough was barely suppressed, His Majesty finally waved a hand to Eunuch Wu, and spoke to Ye Han.

"What made you want to marry Princess Jun? You should know that there are countless noble daughters in Shengjing, among them are many eligible young ladies reaching marriageable age. You have never shown interest before when asked if you have a lady you fancy, always avoiding the topic. Now why the sudden decision to marry?"

His Majesty had an air of authority came naturally to him after years of ruling, draped over him like an aura of quiet severity.

Moreover, his words carried a clear questioning tone that, had it come from another minister, most likely would have had them prostrating on the ground, begging for mercy.

However, when falling on Ye Han’s ears, it barely shook his consistently impassive gloomy face.

He bowed down once more and then raised his head to look at His Majesty.

"Previously, the reason Ye Han did not marry was due to not coming across the right person. Now, as finally a likeminded person appears, it is only right to bring her into my household as soon as possible. Otherwise, if another person were to act first, this lowly official would have nowhere to turn to for help."

Ye Han’s words were nice to hear, but said with a cold, impassive face, they sounded rather bizarre and awkward!

There was no sense of sincerity or earnestness in his expression.

However, it wasn’t hard to see that he genuinely wanted to propose.

His Majesty deeply looked into his eyes, then glanced at Qin Yi standing guard outside the door. Naturally, he didn’t miss those risen ears. He laughed!

"We’ll consider this matter for a few more days."

A distinct smile appeared on His Majesty’s face: "After all, we also need to respect the wishes of Miss Jun. If we force them into a loveless marriage, won’t it invite reproach? That’s all for today! His Majesty is not feeling well and needs to rest."

With that, he stood up and walked towards the bedchamber at the other end.

Ye Han seemed intent to voice something more, but Eunuch Wu approached him with a smile.

"General Zhen Guo, now that His Majesty’s health is precarious and he has retired to rest, there’s no need for you to worry. With General Ye’s outstanding talents and good looks, there are plenty of ministers eager to offer their daughters. You just wait for good news!"

After that, he gave Ye Han a reassuring glance.

A glint of understanding flashed in Ye Han’s eyes. He then performed a deep bow towards the direction of His Majesty’s quarters in obedience, before retreating to one side, closing his eyes.

Although his injuries had largely healed after these days of rest.

However, the sensation of countless arrows piercing his heart still haunted him. Even when he had recovered significantly, the subconscious reminder of the pain still tormented him, especially in the depths of the night when nightmares woke him, leaving him soaked in cold sweat.

Especially at those moments, an unfamiliar sense of loneliness would claw at him.

He began to envy Qin Yi secretly. Having a beloved wife to share worries with and a lovely child to fuss over. He heard the child is a girl who looks very much like Su Pan’er!

The wry smile returned to his lips at the thought of Su Pan’er.

Their acquaintance started at a cave, which somehow led to their complicated intertwined fate!

Maybe it’s because her personality was too straightforward when they first met, and that each subsequent meeting, she was changing. Not just her outer appearance, but her inner core. Firm and steady, independent and confident, her whole person radiated an intense sense of self-assurance!

Like a shining entity, as long as she was present, he would involuntarily focus his gaze on her.

But she was already a married woman, so he constantly reminded himself not to overstep boundaries!

Having become sworn siblings with her, he buried his feelings deep into his heart and accompanied her as her sworn brother, caring for and looking out for her!

He thought that he would carry this affection to his grave without ever expressing it. He did not expect for such a situation to occur!

Hearing her cry out in pain during childbirth, all he could do was pledge to do everything possible to make sure she survived, even if it meant sacrificing himself!

At that moment, he made a suicidal dash out of the room!

When countless arrows pierced his body, he didn’t feel pain. Rather, he was elated because he could finally do something for her in his final moments!

What he didn’t expect, though, was to open his eyes again!

He could barely believe that he had survived.

Upon finding out that he had cheated death once more, he was overjoyed! Besides, he was grateful she hadn’t given up on him! However, the heartache followed quickly. He was forced again into the agonizing situation of watching his beloved woman laugh and be good to another man in front of himself, especially when that man was his own good friend!

He could only mask his vulnerabilities with indifference and eccentricity, portraying himself as a stoic man, continuing to play the role of the elder brother.

However, Qin Yi approached him for help, hoping he could come up with a plan to escape the arranged marriage to Miss Jun.

He didn’t even think before agreeing.

He plans to marry her himself!

Out of the four of them, at least two should be happy!

If he marries Jun Ruoxue, he, Ye Han, would do his best to treat her well, providing her with a warm home.

As for himself...

He raised his hand again, clutching his chest.

There, his heart, already riddled with wounds, throbbed with a sudden painful twinge! A pain so intense he could barely breathe, though each breath he took was accompanied with severe pain!

He struggled to raise his head to look outside through the broken window. The cold wind was still howling outside, noises from the ongoing altercation and crying and shouting could faintly be heard...

He thought, perhaps, him getting better in this lifetime was impossible!
