Yu Yunxuan nodded: "Yes, it seems to be the same person, but I don't know who the master behind her is, and who wants to take my life."
Dong Xiu blamed herself: "It was originally just a hunt, but unexpectedly something like this happened. The two slaves were incompetent and failed to arrive in time to save the princess, which frightened the princess."
Yu Yunxuan shook her head and said: "You have tried your best, but the opponent was too strong and well prepared, catching us off guard. We cannot blame you.
Okay, don’t blame yourself anymore. You are both injured. Just take a good rest in the past two days instead of serving me. Wait until your injuries are healed."
When the two girls were about to retreat, there was a noise outside.
"What happened? Why is it so noisy?"
Dong Xiu hurriedly took a look outside, but when she came back she looked not very good. "Princess, Mr. Xu is here. He said he wanted to visit you, but the guards guarding outside refused to let him in."
"Mr. Xu?" Yu Yunxuan almost forgot that it was Xu Yubai who saved her life yesterday, but she didn't even say thank you to him. She was really ashamed. "Let him come in!"
Dong Xiu and Xia Lian hesitated for a moment, but still did it.
However, half a day after the two went out, Xu Yubai did not come in, and the noise outside also stopped. Just when Yu Yunxuan was feeling strange, she saw a figure coming in, but it was not Xu Yubai, but Xiao Yunchen.
"Where is Mr. Xu?"
There was an urgency in Yu Yunxuan's tone, which made Xiao Yunchen feel very uncomfortable.
"I've sent him away."
"People saved my life. Isn't it right for me to express my gratitude in person? It's you who express my gratitude. That's totally different."
In Xiao Yunchen's opinion, Yu Yunxuan's words meant: "You are you, I am me, we are not a family, you cannot represent me."
Xiao Yunchen felt a fire burning in his chest, almost burning away his sanity.
He wanted to have a good talk with Yu Yunxuan and didn't want to be angry with her, but he couldn't control himself. As soon as he heard her mention the words Xu Yubai, he became angry and annoyed. He had never felt like this before.
"What's the difference? You are my woman. If I don't allow you to see anyone, you can't see her!"
Although these words were overbearing and unreasonable, Yu Yunxuan suddenly showed a strange expression after hearing this. She was thinking that Xiao Yunchen was so concerned about her meeting other men. Could it be that...
"My lord, are you actually a little in love with me?"
Xiao Yunchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately lowered his eyes to cover up his twinkling eyes, and said coldly: "You are thinking too much."
"Am I overthinking it?" Although Yu Yunxuan was a little disappointed, she still refused to give up, "If you don't like me, why do you think so every time I come into contact with Xu Yubai, or even mention the word Xu Yubai?
Do you mind that much?"
Yu Yunxuan prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Xiao Yunchen could tell herself: In fact, I really like you.
However, she did not hear what she wanted to hear, but a sneer from Xiao Yunchen: "You are my princess, but you have close contacts with other men. As a man, shouldn't I mind?
Yesterday you were brought back by Xu Yubai. How many people saw it? Do you know how embarrassed I was at that time?
Now I don’t know how many people are talking about your relationship with Xu Yubai behind your back. I am the regent, don’t you want to lose face? You said I like you? Oh, don’t be sentimental!"
Yu Yunxuan's expression froze instantly. It turned out that he just cared about face. It turned out that she was really being sentimental!
"Xu Yu and I are innocent, why should we fear what others say?"
Xiao Yunchen said coldly: "There is no smoke without fire. If you are really so innocent, how could anyone say that?"
"What do you mean by this? You don't believe me?" Yu Yunxuan said angrily.
Xiao Yunchen paused and said, "Maybe you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, but what about Xu Yubai? Doesn't he have that kind of thoughts towards you?"
"This..." Yu Yunxuan hesitated, because she did clearly feel that Xu Yubai's feelings for her were not as pure as hers for him, but she could not say this in front of Xiao Yunchen. "He, he
They are just friends to me."
Xiao Yunchen sneered again and said, "Friendship, do you feel guilty even if you say this?"
"I..." Yu Yunxuan was very good at lying in the past. Normally, others wouldn't be able to tell that she was lying. But today, it was different, and she couldn't hide her true emotions at all.
He couldn't talk anymore, so he had to stay silent for a while. Xiao Yunchen broke the silence first: "You should not see Xu Yubai again in the future. This is not just for my face.
It’s also for your own reputation, you don’t want others to say that the third princess of the Western Kingdom is a wanton woman, right?”
Yu Yunxuan was angry in her heart, but she was helpless. Just like Xiao Yunchen said, she couldn't let others think that she was unruly, which would not only ruin her reputation, but also embarrass the West Country.
If she wants to continue to hang out in Dongchen, she has to endure it.
As a result, she no longer refuted Xiao Yunchen, nor did she think about anything related to Xu Yubai, but instead shifted her thoughts to the person who assassinated her.
"Yesterday I saw clearly that the man in black who killed me was a woman, and she was extremely skilled in martial arts. She seemed to be a specially trained killer."
"Do you have any suspicion? Who do you think wants to kill you?"
"I didn't expect that I came to Dongchen not long ago, and I haven't interacted with many people. It's impossible to have enemies with others. The only person who makes me think that there is a possibility of killing me is the queen who is far away in the Western Kingdom.
Maybe something happened in the Western Kingdom, and the Queen gave Qiuxue an order to kill me..."
"So, do you think that female assassin is Qiu Xue?" Xiao Yunchen asked, but he didn't agree in his heart.
"Qiu Xue's martial arts is not that high, and if it was her, I would be able to recognize her even if she was masked," Yu Yunxuan shook her head, "I think it was someone sent by the Queen. Qiu Xue just sent me my whereabouts."
Just leaked it to the assassins."
What Yu Yunxuan is most worried about at the moment is her mother-in-law. Has the cooperation between the mother-in-law and the queen broken down? Otherwise, why would the queen send someone to kill her?
"I haven't heard from my concubine for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing. The queen is cruel and ruthless. I'm really afraid that my concubine will be poisoned by her."
When Xiao Yunchen saw Yu Yunxuan being so worried, his heart softened and he couldn't bear it.
"I received news a few days ago that the queen has been beheaded and the Helan family has been destroyed. I thought it couldn't be the queen's person."
Yu Yunxuan was shocked, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it. "You said the queen and the Helan family are gone? How is this possible? What happened?"
