"Your servant has been impolite, Your Highness, please forgive me."

Qin Tianxiong regained some clarity. He was no longer the same person. As a man, he had become a father. She was Big Moon's wife.

He was the one who had let her down. In her most helpless and difficult times, he could not even look at her, could not even send her a word of consolation.

He was the one who was incompetent, who could only watch as she left the city to reunite with her family. During the past year, news of her had been cut off from the outside world, and only now, when he was outside the city, did he learn what had happened to her.

His heart ached, and blood oozed out. He didn't do anything, but the guilt he felt for her was etched deeply into his heart. He could not imagine how she had managed to reach him until now.

When she was at her most miserable, when she needed help to protect him the most, the person beside her was not him.

Every time he thought of this, he would feel extreme pain. It was as if his heart was slowly being cut by a knife. The pain was heart-wrenching.

"Help Qin Xianfeng up. Take a look."

"Yes, your servant obeys."

Yushu stretched out his hand to help Qin Tianxiong up and prepared a seat for him. Qin Tianxiong sat down in a daze.

"Yushu, stand back and guard the courtyard gate. No one is allowed to approach."

"Yes, your servant obeys."

Yushu shot a worried glance at Qin Tianxiong before retreating. Two gigantic white dogs were lying at Yue Chanjuan's feet. They looked at Qin Tianxiong with their dark green eyes.

"It's been a long time. I didn't want to see it now."

"Chan Juan, it's all my fault. I've let you down. It's all my incompetence …"

Qin Tianxiong beat his own head in pain. It was hard to go back, and now that they had met again, the pain in his heart had not only not lessened, but had instead become even more painful.

"It's over. It's all over. No matter how difficult it is, it's all over."

"Chan Juan …"

"Qin Xianfeng, is it appropriate to call him that now?"

Yue Chanjuan's tone was serene and cold, carrying a bit of heartless warmth. Her pair of sparkling eyes were like a bottomless pond, causing Qin Tianxiong's pain to sink even deeper.

"Your Highness, your subject is impolite. Please forgive me."

Qin Tianxiong knelt down once again at Yue Chan's feet. The two huge white dogs breathed out hot air as they stared at him.

"There's no need to be so formal before me."

"Your Highness, this subject has let Your Highness down. With Princess's love and trust, even when the Princess is at her most helpless and in the most difficult situation, this subject actually isn't able to take a glance at the Princess. "If it wasn't for this official's incompetence, why would the princess have come out? She has suffered so much, and so much more …"

Qin Tianxiong was in extreme pain. He thought of the fairy in his heart, Yue Chan Juan. She had married the Pear Blossom father and son, and had given birth to the Pear Blossom Pear. His pain was indescribable.

"Qin Tianxiong …"

Yue Chan waved her two white dogs to the side and pulled Qin Tianxiong's arms to help him up.

"Do you know? After getting word of it, I ordered my maids to go find you, but they never heard from you. "

"Your Highness, this subject is useless …"

Qin Tianxiong almost shed tears as he felt the warmth of the jade hands on his arms, unwilling to part with them at this moment.

"Why did you come to the north? You shouldn't have come!"

"This subject only wishes to see the princess once, without hesitation."

"Back then, the Emperor forced me to go to Great Moon Sect to arrange a marriage alliance. He said that if I did not comply, you could lead troops to the northern border. I could only helplessly agree. I didn't expect that you would still go to the northern border today."

"What?"

Qin Tianxiong looked at Yue Chanjuan in astonishment. "The emperor is using me to force you?"

Yue Chanjuan smiled bitterly. "In order to achieve your goal, the Emperor has always been unscrupulous. You are the only son of the Qin family, and I cannot, and I do not wish for you to be sent to the northern border to encounter danger."

"Chan Juan, I, I …"

Qin Tianxiong finally shed tears. So there was actually such an insider behind her actions. It was because of him that she had no choice but to agree to allow the Emperor to leave and kiss Da Yue Zhong.

"This subject is deeply in love with Princess, I can't redeem myself even if I die!"

Kneeling at Yue Chanjuan's feet, Qin Tianxiong wrapped his arms around her feet and prostrated himself as he said sorrowfully, "Princess, you have suffered so much for this subject. This subject will die a thousand deaths in order to repay this grievance."

"Qin Tianxiong …"

Yue Chan pulled Qin Tianxiong up. "Is there a need to be so formal between you and me? Even if we can't go back in time, we can still be friends, right? "Thank you, thank you for everything you've done for me, thank you for not forgetting the promise you made in the past."

"This subject will never forget that oath. Please rest assured, princess, this subject will do his best to fulfill the princess' desire for revenge."

Yue Chanjuan took two steps back to distance herself from Qin Tianxiong. Qin Tianxiong stretched out his hand. He really wanted to stretch out his arm and tightly embrace her, but he couldn't and didn't dare.

The distance between the two of them could no longer be closed. She was deeply in love, and for his safety, she had promised to sever their relationship. How could he ever hesitate to show such deep feelings, and even worry that he would be implicated?

In front of her, he was so despicable and shameless that, for his own future and safety, he had hesitated so many times that he had almost forgotten his old vow.

"I'm sorry Chan Juan, please allow me to call you that again. I've let you down, from today onwards, even if your body is smashed into smithereens, I will fulfill your desire for revenge, and will not retreat even half a step!"

"I am very happy that you came today. Thank you for everything you've done for me in Xiao Shan, and for allowing me to see you again." "I thought that we would never have the chance to meet again in this life. It was you who asked me to meet you in the Northern Frontier."

"You, you came to the northern border just to see me?"

Qin Tianxiong's eyes were filled with light as he gazed lovingly at Yue Chan's silhouette. What else could he ask for, for him to stare at her from such a distance and breathe in the scent of her body?

"Otherwise, why do you think I came to the Northern Frontier? The dagger that you gave me has always been by my side, accompanying me through life and death. How many times have I thought that I would die?

"Chan Juan, Chan Juan …"

When Qin Tianxiong called out to her affectionately, Yue Chanjuan took two steps back and sat down. Her dignified and beautiful face radiated with the dignity and grandeur of the Great Qin family.

"Qin Tianxiong, are your words today from the bottom of your heart? Are you willing to take the risk of avenging me and repudiate the vows of the past?"

"Your Highness, your subject has sworn to the heavens that I will err on the side of the past, and swear to die for Your Highness' revenge."

"Even if my target of revenge is the Emperor, don't you regret it?"

Yue Chan's faint gaze was fixed on Qin Tianxiong.

Qin Tianxiong was momentarily stunned, "Your majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. If my enemy were the Emperor, what would you do?"
