Late

Shen Xun stared at her for a while, then asked warmly: "Miss Ye, are you right?"

"Your Highness, are you in a hurry?"

She was a little annoyed because he took the initiative to change her clothes, but now he interrupted her thoughts again and again, which made her even more unhappy. Ye Qingwan crossed her arms and sneered: "I never said I didn't believe it. Your Highness, why do you keep explaining to me?"

"Aren't I afraid of being misunderstood by the one I love?" Shen Xun always had a gentle smile, but his eyes and tone were a little more playful: "Besides, you are the wife that I will marry back to the palace soon. Why do I want to harm you? What reason is there for me to harm you? Even if I don’t want to marry you, I will tell you directly without destroying your innocence or taking your life."

Ye Qingwan was quite speechless. She would not have said anything about the hostess if she had known it, but now Shen Xun kept bringing this up and choked her to the point where she was speechless. She simply lowered her head and pretended to be deaf, and stopped talking to him.

Shen Xun didn't want to be displeased and said no more words.

Less than half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the General's Mansion. Ye Qingwan's arrival frightened the guard who was dozing at the door. He woke up from his nap and the next second he saw the man behind Ye Qingwan. Shen Xun woke up completely from his doze. The two of them stammered for a long time and couldn't come up with a complete sentence.

"Sansansan, Third Miss, why are you back?"

"What?" Ye Qingwan sneered and said solemnly: "Listen to this, I shouldn't come back, right?"

The guard shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, it's just. It's just that the Second Madam and the others haven't come back yet. Why did you come back first? Aren't you missing? Why, what?" The guard glanced at Shen Xun and said in fear: "Will you follow Chen?" His Royal Highness is back?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? You didn't see any injuries on her legs?" Shen Xun glanced at the two of them and seemed to smile, but the words he said did not contain any smile, which was chilling.

Before they could say anything, Shen Xun helped Ye Qingwan walk into the mansion.

It wasn't until Ye Qingwan was sent back to Luoqingyuan that Shen Xun said goodbye to her: "Then I will go back first."

Ye Qingwan smiled and said: "Then I won't keep His Highness in the house as a guest. I will visit you another day and personally thank His Highness for your life-saving grace today."

Shen Xun no longer refused her overtures: "Okay, I'm waiting for you to come." After that, he left Luoqing Courtyard.

After Shen Xun left, Ye Qingwan returned to the two guards. The guards were frightened and asked the third lady what she was doing.

I saw Ye Qingwan grinning, revealing strong white teeth. Her slightly thin and pale face exuded a strong aura of danger under the moonlight, and there was a bit of ferocity dormant in her pair of dark eyes.

"If I tell anyone about what King Chen sent me today," she said with crooked eyebrows and a languid expression, "what will happen to Joy will be the same to you."

The two guards had never seen Ye Qingwan like this before. When they thought of Xi Le being covered in blood and unconscious, their hair stood on end and they were horrified. They hurriedly lowered their heads in response.

When he raised his head again, the petite figure had already disappeared into the endless night like a ghost.

Ye Qingwan dragged her injured leg into the room and was about to light the candle when she suddenly heard a steady and heavy footsteps in the darkness.

In an instant, Ye Qingwan's breath froze, and she thought to herself, could it be the person Ning Xiuya sent to assassinate her after knowing that she was still alive?

But the next second, after smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance, Ye Qingwan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qingwan was about to ask Shen Heng what he was doing again, when she saw the candles in the room were lit, and the light instantly illuminated the whole room. She raised her eyebrows, looked at Shen Heng who was helping her light the lamp, and felt a urge to say no in her heart. Unclear emotions suddenly arise.

She doesn't want to pay attention to him now.

Ye Qingwan walked to the window and sat down. She raised her chin with one hand and did not speak to Shen Heng. She just looked at him indifferently.

Shen Heng walked up to her silently, lowered his head and lowered his eyelashes, his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm late, I'm sorry."

Ye Qingwan snorted coldly and turned her head away: "Is there anything I can't say I'm sorry for? This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness."

Shen Heng seemed a little at a loss when he heard the words. He didn't know what to say for a while. Apologize? It seemed useless. Explain? It seemed that she couldn't listen. After being stunned for a long time, he said something without thinking. : "I have sent people to investigate. I will not let go of the person who harmed you."

Ye Qingwan responded coldly: "No need. I know who it is."

Shen Heng, who had always been calm and collected, was confused again.

He truly felt Ye Qingwan's alienation from him, and knew it must be related to today's incident.

It took a lot of effort for the relationship between them to ease a little, so how could they go back to the starting point just because of this incident.

"Ye Yin."

"Huh?" Ye Qingwan still didn't look back.

Shen Heng closed his eyes and meditated quietly for a while. He didn't know what he thought of. When he opened his eyes again, the frost and anger in his eyes had long gone, and they had turned into a softness that was extremely rare to see in him.

Shen Heng didn't say anything for a while, and Ye Qingwan couldn't help but turn around, raised her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, and glanced at him vaguely.

This look was simply fatal. She saw those beautiful eyes that were as cold as a pool of deep water. They were no longer emotionless and cold. They were deep, gentle, and affectionate, and they seemed to contain a vast sea of ​​stars. , as tender as the stars.

Shen Heng was also looking at her.

My heart suddenly trembled.

She tilted her head as if in a daze, pursed her thin lips tightly, and felt as if he had penetrated her heart.

He suddenly said: "Are you angry with me?"

Ye Qingwan immediately clenched her fists.

It would be okay if he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Ye Qingwan was so angry that she wanted to kick him out of her yard.

Because Shen Heng had indeed seen through what was in her heart.

The inexplicable emotion before was precisely because she was angry with him.

It was fine that he didn't catch her at first. Why didn't he come to save her this time?!

But Ye Qingwan would never admit it. She was so angry that she smiled and said sarcastically: "I'm angry at you? How dare I dare to make you angry, Your Highness?"

Shen Heng's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had confirmed something important, and he quickly held her hand, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "You are angry that I didn't come to save you in time, right? You want me to come."

"I don't--"

Save you, right?

Ye Qingwan didn't want to hear Shen Heng express her thoughts in person. She suddenly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and its hair exploded. She showed her teeth but was harmless. She suddenly withdrew her hand and interrupted. He said: "Your Highness, you are busy with everything, how can you have time to care about my life and death!"
