Untouchable Lovers

You Lan shrank back, lowering her head, her doe-like eyes filling with unease and fear. She didn’t dare to look at Chu Yu, and even less at Rong Zhi. After a while, she burst into tears and said, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager..."

Her voice was very soft, but it still reached Chu Yu’s ears, "The Empress Dowager promised me that as long as I was willing to do tasks for her, she would later allow me to serve Young Master Rong."

Her voice was filled with despair.

Chu Yu looked at Rong Zhi in astonishment, suddenly finding it all quite absurd: What was this?

You Lan’s tone continued in that desolate and desperate vein; perhaps knowing that no matter how she might argue now, she could not escape death, she was indifferent to everything and spilled everything out, "Since long ago, when I was still in the Princess Mansion, I admired Young Master Rong immensely. Everyone knew of the Princess’s exclusive desire for Young Master Rong, and no matter what, I didn’t dare let the Princess detect my feelings. I was satisfied just to observe the young master from a distance."

"When the Princess left Jiankang, left the Southern Dynasty, I thought that as long as I followed the Princess, I would see the young master, so I followed the Princess..."

From long, long ago, the composed and elegant youth had been deeply etched in her heart, one casual smile rendering her unable to forget him for the rest of her life.

Chu Yu sighed. It turned out that when she had wanted to settle You Lan during their departure from Jiankang years ago, You Lan’s refusal to stay and her insistence on following was not due to loyal commitment but because she wanted to follow Rong Zhi.

"But halfway through, the young master left, and I did not know where to go. I still could only follow the Princess. But the Princess is about to leave again, this time planning never to see the young master again... Afterwards, the Empress Dowager sent people to find me..." In the end, this was the outcome.
