Chapter 875 Huanbi 19

"What's wrong? Huan'er?" Yinzhen's warm breath brushed across Huanbi's hair, carrying a faint hint of ambergris, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Huanbi took a deep breath, her trembling eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, her eyes filled with tears, about to fall but not yet. She choked with sobs, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Your Majesty... Huan'er has something to hide from you..."

Seeing her like this, Yinzhen felt even more pity for her and said softly, "Huan'er, just say whatever you want to say. You don't have to worry about anything in front of me."

"Huan'er is not fatherless or motherless..." Huanbi spoke intermittently, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.

She secretly raised her eyes and observed Yinzhen's expression, but saw that he was still looking at her gently, with pity in his eyes.

"Huan'er, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Yinzhen gently stroked Huanbi's back, like coaxing a child, trying to calm her uneasy emotions.

"Huan'er...Huan'er's father is...Zhen Yuandao..." Huanbi's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible. After saying this name, she seemed to have used up all her strength, and she collapsed in Yinzhen's arms.

Time seemed to stand still, with only Huanbi's rapid breathing echoing in the palace. She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at Yinzhen's expression, waiting for the expected storm.

However, the expected wrath of thunder did not come.

Yinzhen's fingers gently stroked Huanbi's back, again and again, as if he was soothing a frightened deer. His voice was low and calm, without any ripples in it: "So, you and Concubine Wan are sisters?"

Huanbi opened her eyes suddenly and met Yinzhen's deep gaze. She was shocked, but she saw that Yinzhen's eyes did not show the expected anger or disgust, but a hint of inquiry and... pity?

"Yes... Your Majesty, I dare not hide it." Huanbi's voice was still trembling, but it was a little more determined than before.

Yinzhen sighed softly and straightened Huanbi so that she could look at him at eye level. "I've said before that you don't have to worry about anything in front of me. Since you are Zhen Yuandao's daughter, why do you hide your identity and stay with Huanhuan as a maid?"

Huanbi lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the complex emotions in her eyes. "I... my biological mother is the daughter of a criminal, of low status, and dare not marry into the Zhen family. From childhood to adulthood, I have lived under the aura of my sister and have never been looked at by others. I... I just want to..."

"You just want to be recognized and valued, right?" Yinzhen said it for her, with a hint of understanding in his tone.

Huanbi bit her lower lip and nodded gently. Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears and they rolled down, landing on Yinzhen's bright yellow dragon robe, staining it with dark flowers.

Yinzhen looked at her with mixed feelings. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman had such a deep desire in her heart.

He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face, his tone incredibly gentle: "Silly girl, why do you have to wrong yourself like this? You are so beautiful and so smart, even if you don't rely on anyone, you can still live a wonderful life."

Huanbi was stunned. She had never thought that the emperor would say such words to her. She had always thought that she was just a plaything and entertainment for the emperor.

Yinzhen held Huanbi in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling her soft hair. "From now on, you don't have to call me emperor anymore."

Huanbi raised her head and looked at him in confusion. "Then...what should I call you, Huan'er?"

Yinzhen whispered in her ear, and his warm breath brushed across her earlobe, making her feel numb.

"Call me Shiro, or...husband."

Huanbi's heart skipped a beat, as if a little deer was running around inside. She looked at Yinzhen in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise and confusion. "Your Majesty...are you...are you serious?"

Yinzhen smiled and nodded, then kissed her on the forehead. "When have I ever lied to you?"

Huanbi's face bloomed into a brilliant smile, as bright and beautiful as the sun after the rain. She hugged Yinzhen tightly, buried her head in his chest, and felt his warmth and heartbeat. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

"But Huan'er's mother is the daughter of a criminal..."

"Background is just a piece of thin paper that can be easily pierced. You are my woman. I will not pursue your past, but I will protect your future."

"Why is the emperor so kind to Huan'er?"

Yinzhen's fingertips gently stroked Huanbi's cheek, his eyes blurred, as if he saw another figure through her.

"I don't know why, maybe... it was love at first sight." He paused, with a hint of confusion in his tone that he himself was not even aware of.

"The moment I saw you, there was a voice in my heart urging me to love you, to pamper you, and to give you all the best in the world."

(Yes, that voice is mine~)

Huanbi's heart beat like a drum, she looked up and looked at Yinzhen in disbelief. This sudden confession made her at a loss for words. She thought she was just a plaything of the emperor, but she didn't expect that he would say such affectionate words.

"Your Majesty..." Huanbi's voice was choked with sobs, and tears blurred her vision again. She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Yinzhen hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. "Don't cry, silly girl."

Yinzhen gently stroked Huanbi's silky hair, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

He recalled the feeling of wanting to be loved but not being able to get it when he was young, and he still remembers it vividly. Now, he saw the same shadow in Huanbi, which made his love for her even more distressed.

"Huan'er, do you hate Zhen Yuandao?" Yinzhen's voice was low and tentative.

Huanbi's body trembled slightly, and tears began to well up in her eyes again. She was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Hate? Maybe I did in the past. But now, I feel more numb. He never regarded me as his daughter, so why should I regard him as my father?"

Yinzhen hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to melt her into his arms.

"You still have me. I will be your husband and give you all the love in the world."

Huanbi raised her head and looked at Yinzhen with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of emotion and dependence. She nodded gently and buried her head in his chest, feeling his warmth and strength.

Yinzhen stroked Huanbi's hair lovingly and said softly, "Huan'er, do you know? You look a lot like me."

He paused, with a hint of bitterness in his tone: "We are all the same, we have a parent who doesn't love us."
