Eternal Painter Swordsman
75. Jiu Rui's Cry

Huang Xinxin and Huang Shangyue easily arrived at the Palace, of course after seeing their identities, they were immediately allowed to enter the Eastern Palace.

When they arrived, they met the Crown Prince's servant and the Old Eunuch who served the Emperor, they stood at the door while carrying food for Jiu Rui.

"You come back first, I'll probably be here a long time." Huang Xinxin.

"Are you planning to stay here ? It won't be good for your reputation. " Task Huang Shangyue.

Huang Xinxin did not immediately reply and smiled faintly at Huang Shangyue then stroked the young girl's hair.

"Go back, I'm not gonna stay here just maybe a little while. I'm afraid that you'll get sick from waiting here. " Huang Xinxin replied.

Huang Shangyue did not reply and Huang Xinxin walked in. When she walked into the grounds, everyone immediately turned to her.

"Miss Huang, you've finally come. The Crown Prince has a good relationship with you. See if he could persuade the Crown Prince to eat or not, the previous time he returned to his room and did not want to eat since this morning. " Said Old Eunuch.

"I will try to persuade him, Mr. Kasim can go back and rest. Anyhow it's late, I'll persuade her and comfort her. " Reply Huang Xinxin.

The Old Eunuch nodded his head and Huang Xinxin walked in, when he opened the door, an item throw was directed at him.

"Don't I tell you no one can come in ?!" Shouted Jiu Rui with a hoarse voice.

"Am I not allowed to go in either ? You as the younger generation, are really disrespectful. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"Xinxin's ? Why are you here ? I must have been hallucinating. " Reply Jiu Rui in confusion.

At this moment they were in the darkness until they could not see each other, Huang Xinxin did not immediately reply and walked towards the candle and turned on the match.

He turned on the candles that were there so that it became bright again. Jiu Rui's face looked red as if she had just cried.

"I didn't come, you were hallucinating. " Said Huang Xinxin.

Jiu Rui stood up and looked at him with a complicated gaze then ran to hug him very tightly, until Huang Xinxin could not breathe properly.

Jiu Rui cried nonstop, as if she was a newborn baby.

"Cry if you want, I'll accompany you here. " Murm Huang Xinxin and stroke Jiu Rui's head.

"I heard it all that you and I are actually family. I was thinking, how does fate really play a game with someone ? " Task Jiu Rui sadly.

"I really feel hopeless, I really feel lost. " Subsequently Jiu Rui.

"I'll still be your friend, forever your friend. Are you happy now ?" Asked Huang Xinxin.

While Huang Xinxin himself would not be too affected, because he himself was not Huang Xinxin himself. He was just an outsider who did not have a deep emotional attachment.

But, Jiu Rui is different, Jiu Rui proves that what is written in the book about him has been wrong. That he was cruel and cold-hearted but in the end, his heart was too soft until it was easy to follow the words of others.

It was bad to say, but actually in his opinion, a person like Jiu Rui would not be able to become an Emperor. He had no evil intentions only that Jiu Rui was too impressionable. Unless he changes in the future to become a more hard-hearted person.

People said that someone who was too kind, would not be able to become an Emperor while a person who was too cold-hearted would also not be able to become an Emperor.

Being an Emperor means having a kind-hearted side and a cold-hearted side, it is difficult to carry out that heavy duty. On top of that throne, one would feel boundless loneliness and also feel fear even in his sleep.

Afraid that one night, someone would come to kill him, be it his closest person even his own son was not impossible.

"If I can choose then I want to become an ordinary man without the title of Emperor, I don't want to become Emperor. " Say Jiu Rui weakly.

"Have you considered it with your heart ? When you let go of all of this then this whole luxurious life will slip out of your grasp. " Reply Huang Xinxin.

"What's the point ? I don't feel happy, everyone is holding me back. I want to live like a free bird, flying between kingdoms with nothing in the way. " Say Jiu Rui with a sigh.

His cries had stopped, only that there was still a deep sadness in his voice. This showed that he still felt pain over this matter that had befallen him.

Jiu Rui let go of her embrace and looked at Huang Xinxin with such a deep gaze as if she was very serious at this moment.

Huang Xinxin had never seen Jiu Rui so seriously that it made her feel somewhat scared as well as worried for Jiu Rui.

Jiu Rui at this moment was a bit unreasonable, could it be that just knowing that they still had a close blood relation made her feel so beaten up like that ?

Jiu Rui's cry that she heard earlier was very painful to hear, as if she had long harbored her own sadness and this time really exploded uncontrollably.

"Are you like all those people who think I'm weak from crying like this ? From a young age, I hated myself for not being able to control my tears. " Said Jiu Rui.

"No, I don't think you're weak. What if you cry ? Does it signify your strength ?" Asked Huang Xinxin.

"Everyone thought that a Crown Prince should never cry, only you said that would accompany me when crying. You said that I could cry as much as I could, only you said." Answer Jiu Rui.

"Everyone says that I have to stop crying, when people insult me then I have to be patient, when the toys are seized then people say that I must be patient that I must have a broad heart. " Subsequently Jiu Rui.

"You don't have to give everything you have, you have to know what you want to protect and what is yours. " Said Huang Xinxin.

Jiu Rui looked at her with a deeper gaze as if she wanted to say something to him in this ambiguous situation.
