Zhong Yuxi never wanted to participate in these state affairs, but since the king asked so, she had to say: "I don't like war."
The king laughed: "I know Yu Xi doesn't like killing, but there are some things that must be solved by force."
He already had an idea in his mind, looked at the flower and said: "There used to be a person who often gave me flowers like this. Her eyes were the most beautiful in the world."
Zhong Yuxi blurted out and asked: "Is that the woman your Majesty loves?"
The king just smiled and said nothing, closed the document in his hand and said: "Your illness is not cured yet. Go back and rest early. After you recover, you still have to supervise my meals."
Zhong Yuxi picked up the bowl and chopsticks and nodded: "Then I will get better soon."
After leaving the king's study, a severe headache and a feeling of exhaustion hit her again. She had pretended to smile just now, but in fact her body could no longer hold it up.
Walking back to Cuihua Hall along the white marble road, I feel like I have stepped on cotton under my feet, one step deeper and one step shallower, making me feel dizzy.
Just as she walked out of a garden, she suddenly saw a figure flashing past in front of her. Her professionalism made her immediately energetic, dropped the plate in her hand, and quickly chased after the figure.
The shadow walked very fast, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in the palace, so she followed behind it at a short distance.
The man stopped in front of a villa. Zhong Yuxi recognized this place. This was the Qiankun Hall behind the palace. No one usually lived there. Only envoys from foreign countries would be arranged here.
It is a three-story small Western-style building with a carved white arch in the middle.
When the man arrived at the door, the door was opened inside. With a little light, Zhong Yuxi recognized the man as Fan Dong, the prince's bodyguard.
If the person who opens the door is Fan Dong, then the person who goes in is...
Not daring to breathe, she quietly climbed up the steps and looked through the window.
The lights inside were dimmed, and only two figures could be vaguely distinguished.
That tall and upright body, even in the dim light, she could recognize at a glance that it was really Xuanyuan Ye.
As for the woman in front of him, before she could see her clearly, she was pulled into his arms.
There was a breaking sound in the heart of the dark night. Zhong Yuxi clutched the door frame tightly, and the overwhelming dizziness hit her again.
This woman must be Lian'an. He couldn't forget her name even when he was sick. However, how could she be here? Qiankun Palace was originally an uninhabited place. It was usually taken care of by dedicated people. Only at night was there no one to look after it.
A clever idea came to her mind. If she didn't live here, it meant that she probably lived somewhere in the palace. Maybe she was someone she knew. A sudden thought in her mind made her close to the window again and move towards it with all her strength.
Look inside.
Xuanyuan Ye hugged her and seemed to be whispering. Her face was buried in his chest and she couldn't see clearly. When she wanted to look again, Xuanyuan Ye had already picked her up and walked towards the second floor.
"who?"
Suddenly there was a low roar from inside, Fan Dong looked at the window warily, and Xuanyuan Ye also stopped and pulled the woman behind him protectively.
Zhong Yuxi quickly retreated into the darkness, but she was still a step too late. A gust of wind came from in front of her. She waved her hand to block it and stepped back.
Fan Dong's martial arts skills are not bad, and his strength is infinite. Zhong Yuxi's strength is softened by softness, and he can fight on par with him.
But she was sick and weak, so she didn't want to fight and tried to lure Fan Dong away to escape first.
"It's you." Fan Dong finally saw her clearly and hesitated to make a move.
Zhong Yuxi took the opportunity to fly up and kick him in the left chest, turned around and ran away, but her feet staggered for a moment, and she felt dizzy again.
Fan Dong had already grabbed her arm.
Xuanyuan Ye stood on the steps, with the moonlight pouring down on him like water. His eyes were cold, and he stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the two people entangled in front of him.
"Night..." A voice called softly from the room.
He whispered: "You go back first."
When Zhong Yuxi heard this voice, she felt it was very familiar. If she said a few more words, she would definitely be able to identify who she was, but...she just nodded and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
She called him Ye, haha, what a kind name.
When Zhong Yuxi was distracted, Fan Dong punched her on the shoulder. She became unstable and could barely stand.
Fan Dong had the upper hand, but he didn't dare to take action because the girl in front of him was the king's favorite maid. If he really hurt her, the king would definitely pursue him.
So he turned around and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Xuanyuan Ye's eyes darkened, and he looked at Zhong Yuxi, who was also looking at him. From those eyes, she understood that he had murderous intentions.
The identity of that woman should be kept secret, but now she saw it. Out of protection for that woman, he wanted to kill her.
A wry smile escaped from the corner of Zhong Yuxi's lips, and she walked straight towards Xuanyuan Ye regardless of Fan Dong beside her.
"Your Highness." Fan Dong was anxious, but Xuanyuan Ye stopped him with his eyes.
Zhong Yuxi had already stopped on the steps under him, looking up at him.
He still has the same beautiful eyebrows, but they are colder.
She remembered the first time she saw him, he was like this, squatting on the high balcony, with the endless moonlight behind him, he stretched out a hand and said: "Come up."
He taught her to write and took care of her all night long. She thought that they were different from others. At least, she knew her heart and liked him. That was the feeling. But to him, she was just a passing cloud.
, she can't even compare to Charman, what's more, now her body is not clean. They are very close, but their hearts are too far apart.
She picked up his stiff hand and slowly put it on her throat, with a mocking smile in her eyes.
His slender fingers slowly tightened on that tender white patch, and the light in his eyes shrank sharply.
Zhong Yuxi felt a difficulty breathing. Sure enough, he still wanted her life. In this huge palace, it was not unusual for a maid to suddenly disappear. Even if the king doted on her, there were plenty of people in front of her who could cope with it.
, so he can start without any worries.
The despair in her heart mixed with the roiling blood rushed to the top of her head. She said provocatively in a very weak voice: "I have seen it all. I know who that woman is. If you don't kill me now, I will announce her identity immediately."
Everyone."
His throat tightened. If he was showing mercy just now, now he was using real strength.
The eyes that looked down at him narrowed in an arc, and this arc was almost cold.
Fan Dong stood below, watching all this in surprise. He would not forget the prince's nervousness when he saw Zhong Yuxi injured at the hunting ground. He had been with him for many years and had never seen him panic like that.
He has always believed that Miss Liancuo is the woman that the prince truly loves, and everything she has done for the prince is worthy of the prince's love for her. However, he has never seen the prince look at Miss Liancuo with such tender and complex eyes. He feels that
Zhong Yuxi had a status in the prince's heart, but now it seems that he was wrong. With the prince's expression, he really wanted to kill Zhong Yuxi.
