Wen Xiang and Nian Yu had obviously been ordered to do so. After Aheya made the request, they were not surprised, but directly brought out a set of clothes and put them on for her.
Ahaya lowered her eyes, like a well-behaved puppet, letting them dress her up.
She had to think carefully about what the tyrant planned to exchange Liu Nu for...
"Miss Ahaya, please see me."
Xie Jie was in his study dealing with the government affairs that had accumulated over the past few days. When he heard the announcement, he paused and then slowly put down his pen, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"Let her in."
His eyes were still on the memorial, and there was no emotion or anger in his tone.
"Ahya, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Ahaya took a deep breath, bowed politely, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
The large study room of the government office is paved with stone bricks. In the coldest month of winter, you will feel the chill just walking by it. Now when you kneel on it, your knees will inevitably feel pain like needles.
But Xie Jie didn't ask her to get up, so she couldn't move.
Xie Jie looked down at her condescendingly, his deep eyes focused on her slender figure. After a long while, he curled his lips and spoke with a half-smile.
"Ahya, you haven't behaved like this in a long time."
Ahaya pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and did not answer.
Xie Jie seemed to just say it casually, his knuckles clenched on the sandalwood table, making a sound that made people panic.
"I forgot to call you for a moment, why didn't you know to get up?" After a long time, he spoke slowly and slowly, as if he was feeling distressed and mocking.
"It's so sad to see."
Ahya closed her eyes.
There was silence in the study for a while.
Xie Jie originally looked at her embarrassed appearance with leisurely eyes and sneered in his heart, but he was startled when he saw a little moisture on the ground.
she cried?
He felt as if something had hit him hard in his heart, he couldn't help but frown, and his face became a little gloomy.
He pushed the chair back suddenly, stood up, and with quick steps, settled beside Ahaya, clamped his thumb and index finger on Ahaya's chin, and lifted her face up.
But I saw that the ends of her eyes were red, tears were rolling down like beads, but she didn't make any sound.
Ahaya bit her lower lip. Seeing him approaching, she seemed to finally be able to bear the grievance. Her tears rolled down faster and fell on his fingertips. They were like lava and burned his heart.
"I'm just asking you to kneel down, are you aggrieved?" Xie Jie sneered, his eyes moved slightly, but his face seemed unmoved, staring straight at Aheya, with a chill in his tone.
"My spies against Beirong have always been displayed on the city wall after Ling Chi."
Ahaya still didn't speak, she just looked away with watery eyes, biting her lower lip harder and harder, and there was even a trace of blood.
Xie Jie frowned and pressed his fingers into the vermilion without resistance, freeing the bright red lips from under the teeth: "Speak."
"What does Your Majesty want me to say?" Ahaya sobbed, refusing to look at him. Her tone seemed to be trying to gain some momentum, but she looked like an awkward cat.
"Liu Nu was captured by you. Now I only have two people watching me. Is there any difference between me and a bird with its feathers clipped? You can relax a little bit."
"If you really can't let go, Ahaya pleads guilty."
"Ah."
Xie Jie was speechless by what she said.
He clicked his tongue, his eyes growing colder.
He suddenly let go of Ahaya, fluttered his sleeves and returned to the case. He picked up the memorial and continued to approve it, and carelessly twitched the corners of his lips.
"I won't kill you."
"I am going to issue a letter of credence to ask Beirong why they asked the Prime Minister to intervene in our Daxu military affairs and assassinate me."
He paused and stared at Ahaya's expression, as if trying to find some clues.
"Without a border defense plan, I can still break into the Beirong and make them surrender."
Ahaya's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't worry too much.
Beirong and Daxu were already hostile. The grassland was vast, and with General Quint's cavalry as their frontier, the defeat would not be too disastrous.
She blinked, the tears on her face were still wet, and she looked at Xie Jie in surprise and confusion. After a long time, she slowly uttered one word, obviously unable to react to his sudden change of topic: "Huh?"
"I'm going to fight the Beirong." Xie Jie repeated the sentence with prominent veins on his forehead.
"Oh." Ahaya pursed her lips, still not understanding it, but looking at his face, she nodded obediently, "Then what?"
"I will send the news out just because I owe General Quint my life, not because I have a strong sense of belonging to Beirong."
She lowered her eyes and spoke calmly.
"Whether you want to fight Beirong or not, it's really impossible. Just capture that prime minister and chop him up. It has nothing to do with me..." She wrinkled her nose, seeming to be a little disdainful.
"come over."
Xie Jie finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her coldly.
A smile quickly flashed across Ahaya's eyes, then she restrained herself and walked forward obediently.
As soon as she reached Xie Jie, he stretched out his arms and caught her in his arms.
Xie Jie lowered his head and rubbed the corners of her eyes that were still pink with his fingers.
"You'd better be." There was clear murderous intent in his tone, and there was a coldness in his eyes, "Otherwise... I'll kill you."
Ahaya was frightened by him and shook again. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to shed tears again.
"You are so cruel to me."
She pursed her lips, grabbed Xie Jie's sleeve with one hand, and looked at him pleadingly. Her eyes were clear and her voice was low, like a cat purring coquettishly to please him.
"I'm sorry, I don't dare anymore."
She was obviously arrogant because of her favor, but it made people feel soft-hearted.
Xie Jie's face softened unconsciously, and he realized his own changes. His face suddenly turned blue and purple, which looked very beautiful.
This Beirong man seemed to have an increasing influence on him.
He should have killed her.
A flash of killing intent flashed through Xie Jie's eyes very quickly, but was stopped by the sharp pain in his head.
Forget it. She is still useful.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the mess in the capital, he couldn't help but frown and his eyes moved slightly.
Since it is useful, you can keep it for a while. Just pay attention to the knocking and never let this person who is accustomed to judging people's faces take advantage of it.
Ahaya carefully observed his expression, and when she saw that his expression calmed down, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"His Majesty."
She blinked, her heart beating like a drum, but she still had to lower her eyes and behave.
Xie Jie didn't mention it, she would always find a way to rescue Liu Nu.
"The pair of warm-scented nephrite jade you gave me..." She was filled with emotions in her heart. While observing the words and expressions, she curled her lips and groaned, "As soon as I heard it, I knew it was originally given to you. If you don't want it yourself, just
Throw it to me?"
"I don't want it. Just give Liu Nu back to me."
Xie Jie pulled away from his thoughts and stared at her beautiful face. After a long while, he twitched the corner of his mouth and spoke in an unclear tone.
