Chapter 9: Falling in Love相戀

During their time together in the Ministry of Justice, he had marveled at her intelligence, and later, he had been humbled by her bravery and indomitable spirit. Her beauty only served to deepen his love for her.

這半年多的大理寺相處期間，自己驚嘆于她的聰明，後來他折服于她的勇敢和不屈服的強大內心，美麗的容顏讓他加快了深陷愛戀的步伐。

Having been raised by Butterfly, Cui Yu possessed a unique and rare grace, setting her apart from other women. From the beginning, Butterfly's protege was destined to be a man's ruin—no matter how exceptional he was, he could not escape her spell.

崔蝶教出來的女子自有一番世間女子都沒有的風骨，崔蝶傾心培養出來的女子從一開始就注定是男人的劫，任你何等優秀，也逃不出的劫。

Beneath the blooming begonia flowers, Cui Yu strolled at a leisurely pace. Zhang Guoying approached her.

漫漫的海棠花下，有着崔玉閑散漫步的身影，張國英朝着那身影走去。

As he drew closer, he admired her unparalleled beauty. Though Cui Yu was stunning enough to captivate souls, he knew other breathtaking beauties existed in the world. Zhang Guoying was not a man who fell for looks alone. What he loved was the person she was—the perfect blend of beauty, intelligence, and countless virtues. Only such a woman could be considered a peerless beauty.

來到身影前，望着對面這副絕世芳顏，崔玉的美的确美得讓人心醉，讓人動魂，可是天下之大，這樣的絕世美人也絕不可能只有她崔玉一人，而他張國英絕不是迷戀美色之人，他愛的從來都是她這個人，這個完美的人，她美麗，她聰明，她有着無數的優點和閃光點，只有這樣的女人才可稱得上是絕代佳人。

Zhang Guoying observed as petals drifted onto Cui Yu's head and body, creating a picturesque scene. However, given the ongoing war, he had no heart to appreciate the beauty before him.

張國英看着海棠花瓣被一陣風吹下，落在了崔玉的頭上，身上。好一幅畫中美人圖，只是觀眼前戰情，張國英沒有心情來欣賞美人圖，半點也無。

"King Liu Yi's forces will soon be at our doorstep, and we lack the strength to defend the city. We must evacuate the capital," Zhang Guoying murmured as if speaking to himself.

“新王朝劉義的兵馬上就要兵臨城下了，我們的兵力沒有辦法守住，馬上要撤離京城了。”張國英輕輕地說着，聲音輕道似乎他是在自言自語。

Cui Yu listened to his words but offered no response. She simply gazed at him in silence.

崔玉聽他此言，并沒有接話，只是靜靜地望着他。

She was incredibly astute, wise enough to know she couldn't ask Zhang Guoying where he planned to retreat. It was a military secret, and as a mere Cui Yu, now isolated and unsupported in the capital, she dared not overstep.

她很聰明，聰明到知道自己不能問張國英你要撤離到哪兒去？這可是軍事機密，她小小一個崔玉，現如今在京城無依無靠，哪敢造次。

Zhang Guoying received no response from his beloved, only observing the wariness in her eyes.

張國英沒有等來心上人的接話，只看到了她目光中的防備之心。

Indeed, it was wariness. Years ago, when they first met at the Imperial Academy, she had professed her love for him, insisting she would marry no one else, loudly enough for the whole world to hear. He had been indifferent to her then so he couldn't recall her appearance from that time.

對，就是防備之心，當年在京師學堂初見時她把愛自己，非自己不嫁嚷嚷得全世界都聽見了，自己卻對她不屑一顧，所以記不得她當年的容顏了。

Upon their reunion, her eyes were filled with a profound sense of caution, even though he had treated her gently and thoughtfully ever since. After all, she had once boldly declared her love for him, and those words often resonated in his mind. For a long time, he had genuinely treated her as his lover, caring for and protecting her. Even his subordinates had noticed, and being as astute as she was, she must have known his feelings, right

再見時她的眼中就有了這層很深很深的防備之心，雖然後來自己對其精心呵護，待她溫柔體貼。畢竟這個女人曾經滿世界地宣布并且信誓旦旦地說着愛自己，非自己不嫁的那些聲音時常在他腦海中回想，最近有很長一段時間，他是把她真的當作自己的愛人來呵護，照顧的。

這連他的屬下都發現了，聰明如她，該是知道自己的心意吧！
