Because the lobby of this villa is very high, the stairs are long and steep. If you fall from here, you will break your arms and legs if you don't fall to your death.
Gu Li sneered as she watched Zhong Yuxi fall down the stairs, her heart overwhelmed by a wave of pleasure.
But immediately, her eyes widened and she looked at the stairs in disbelief. She saw the figure who was supposed to be rolling down the stairs in embarrassment. Suddenly he held a section of the stairs with one hand, jumped upwards, and grabbed the handrail on the side.
The shape was agile and swift, as dexterous as a swallow, and Gu Li was stunned to see him standing there.
By the time she came to her senses, Zhong Yuxi had already walked up, completely ignoring her stunned look and passing her by.
At this time, it was time for His Highness the Sixth Prince to get up. She was no longer interested in getting entangled with this woman because of her capricious jealousy.
Behind Zhong Yuxi, Gu Li gritted her silver teeth and stared at her fiercely. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment. The air around her seemed to have heated up several degrees in an instant and was about to burn.
After knocking on the door a few times, his emotionless voice came from inside for a long time: "Come in."
Zhong Yuxi opened the door. The curtains in the room had not yet been opened. There was a human figure lying quietly on the bed. Although he was motionless, he was obviously awake. A pair of black eyes were staring at her closely through the dim light.
"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, we are going to the border today. We have to prepare early." She said, going to draw the curtains.
But I heard him suddenly say, as if in panic: "Don't."
Zhong Yuxi's hand paused in the air. She had never heard him speak in such a tone. He was always cold, arrogant, and strong. He seemed to have no personality weaknesses that could make him angry.
A person breaks through and completely protects himself in a hard shell. He can hurt others, but others cannot hurt him.
But there was clearly a trace of helpless loneliness and fear in his voice now, like a person who has just woken up from a nightmare and is still completely unable to return to reality from the fear in the dream.
She walked over and sat down by his bed.
Feeling the bed sinking and bouncing, he had already sat up and held her in his arms, so tightly that she could hardly breathe, but the feeling of panic was transmitted bit by bit through his clothes.
On her body, she felt the fragility and helplessness of this man at this moment.
The soft parts of Zhong Yuxi's heart felt like they were being gently brushed by feathers. She knew she shouldn't sympathize with a beast, but she still couldn't help but stretched out her hands to hug him back.
He seemed to calm down a lot, and the cold sweat on his face slowly faded away. After a long time, he said in his ear: "I just dreamed of my mother. She called my name one after another, with tears on her face.
I wanted to answer her, but I couldn't speak. Later, for some reason, my mother turned into you, covered in blood, looking at me with such a miserable smile. Behind you, someone raised a knife, and I saw it clearly.
It's here, but I can't stop it, I can't move my body, and I can't scream." He smiled bitterly: "I thought you were dead."
A warmth arose in Zhong Yuxi's heart. He would be sad if she died, wouldn't he?
"It's okay, I'm fine." She wanted to leave his arms, but he held her tighter and tighter, "Zhong Yuxi, do you know who the person with the knife is who wants to kill you?"
She shook her head, how could she know about his dream.
His voice suddenly dropped: "It's me."
Zhong Yuxi's body couldn't help but tremble. Although it was said to be just a dream, it still made people daydream. But she still comforted her and said: "It's just a dream. I often dream about picking up money."
, and when I woke up, I was extremely disappointed.”
He pushed her away gently, without looking into her eyes, and returned to his cold face, "Put the bath water on for Your Highness."
"Yes." Zhong Yuxi laughed, but somehow she couldn't be happy in her heart. The prince once wanted to kill her, so would the Sixth Highness also want to kill her?
Not wanting to think about it any more, I pressed the water valve switch.
When everything was ready, they went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
The food here is similar to that in the palace. Try to make it as indistinguishable as possible. The prince has already arrived and is sitting there reading the newspaper.
His Highness the Sixth Prince and Zhong Yuxi asked him good morning, and the two princes began to eat.
Zhong Yuxi, Bai Zhi and the personal guards went to the small restaurant to eat. Fan Dong, the prince's personal guard, was also there.
When he saw Zhong Yuxi, he nodded uncomfortably. What happened that night was still vivid in their minds. He begged Xuanyuan Ye to kill her, but it was only for Xuanyuan Ye.
Zhong Yuxi knew that it was his responsibility, so she did not blame him, but smiled at him. Fan Dong's face turned red and he quickly lowered his head to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Bai Zhi suddenly came up to her and said mysteriously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned you this morning."
Zhong Yuxi asked casually while cutting the steak: "What did you say?"
"He said that you and His Highness the Seventh Prince are a good match, and they are similar in age. If you were a noble, he might consider marrying you to His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Zhong Yuxi sneered disdainfully: "It will be his turn to decide who I want to marry and when."
Bai Zhi immediately panicked and told her to lower her voice, "This country belongs to them, let alone who will marry you, even if he wants your life, don't you have to give it to him with both hands?"
This life?
The steak left a bitter taste in his mouth: He was indeed going to pass this life!
"Anyway, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with the old monster all my life."
Bai Zhi angrily snatched away a piece of steak she had just cut, "I don't believe you wouldn't want to marry someone you like."
"Hey, Xiaobai, give me back my steak." Zhong Yuxi yelled and grabbed it, attracting questioning looks from all the guards.
She seemed to feel that one of them had particularly blazing eyes. When she tried to find it again, the guards all lowered their heads to eat. She blinked: Could it be that she was dazzled just now?
After dinner, several people took four or five cars and set off to the side mirror. Zhong Yuxi and Bai Zhi took a three-row business car with the two highnesses and the mayor. Gu Li and the mayor's assistant Hilke
Waiting for someone to follow in the off-road vehicle behind.
Qianyu Island is one of the small islands with the richest seafood production in the country. The amount of seafood transported to the mainland every year accounts for 30% of the mainland market. It is also rich in minerals and produces the highest quality crystals. Three residents of the island
Two-thirds are engaged in fishing and one-third are engaged in crystal mining.
Although it is small, it has abundant resources, so only the Chaoyang Kingdom across the river would take an interest in it.
Because it was snowy and the road was slippery, many places were blocked by ice and snow, so we had been bumpy all morning and still didn't reach our destination.
Zhong Yuxi turned pale due to motion sickness and sat in the back without saying a word.
"Wait a moment."
The Crown Prince and His Highness Sixth Prince suddenly spoke at the same time. After speaking, they were both stunned, and the driver quickly stopped the car.
His Highness the Sixth Prince glanced at the prince, pushed the door open and got out of the car, walked to the car door at the back, and opened the door.
Zhong Yuxi's stomach was in a state of confusion when she suddenly felt a burst of air-conditioning, which made her feel much better.
Immediately afterwards, someone grabbed my wrist, and I got out of the car in a daze.
