Hua Yanxi glanced along the door and then withdrew her gaze, focusing on her own affairs.
Strange, really strange.
Ye Juechen glanced at Hua Yanxi and then at Ye Yibai. Both of them were very strange, but it seemed that Ye Yibai was even more strange at the moment.
Along the way from the capital to Xishan, this was the first time Ye Juechen saw Ye Yibai wearing such exquisite clothes. Even when he was in the capital, he had never seen such a grand dress.
A purple-gold crown was tied on top of her head, and her hair was tied high, making her look particularly energetic.
The body is covered with a pure white large fox fur, which is fixed on the shoulder blades with jasper pendants.
Inside is a blue robe, embroidered with complex patterns.
There were several surprise baubles hanging on the belt inlaid with gems, and the tassels swayed gently as he walked.
Even the bottom edges of the boots under my feet are outlined with dazzling silver lines.
As a child of the royal family, it is not strange to dress like this, and Ye Juechen also dresses like this, but this person looks very strange when he is replaced by Ruo Ye Yibai.
It's like the gloomy fluttering goose rolling in the mud suddenly turned into an adult peacock courting a mate.
Ye Yibai ignored Ye Juechen's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and walked to stand three steps away from Hua Yanxi.
"Yan Yan, I heard that you have recovered and are ready to return to Beijing." Ye Yibai's tone was slightly awkward.
"Um."
"Which day is suitable for you?"
Hua Yanxi thought for a while: "Just tomorrow."
"Okay." Ye Yibai nodded, and seeing that Hua Yanxi didn't look at him, her disappointment didn't show, so she turned around and left.
Ye Juechen held up his chin and was about to enjoy the entanglement between the two people, but he didn't want to let it go with just a few words, and the clingy spirit didn't even bother.
Ye Juechen looked at Hua Yanxi in disbelief, looked at it carefully, and blurted out: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Are you sick?" Hua Yanxi rolled her eyes at him.
"No," Ye Juechen said, "What's wrong with you two?"
"If you really have the time, come and take stock. Don't sit there like an uncle and look like an eyesore."
"It doesn't matter if I'm an eyesore to you. What's important is, did you notice what he was wearing just now?" Ye Juechen asked hurriedly.
"No, it's just like usual."
"Same? Are you a woman? He obviously dressed up specially today, and he was dressed so showily. How dare you not even look at him?" Ye Juechen was dumbfounded.
"Are you a man? Or do you really have different preferences from men? You actually like to pay attention to what men wear." Hua Yanxi said impatiently.
Hua Yanxi really didn't pay much attention. She just glanced at him from a distance and saw that he was wearing a mask, so she didn't take a closer look.
But what to wear is all personal preference. Ye Yibai originally likes beautiful clothes.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but remember that when he was a fool, he cherished beautiful clothes very much. Before going to bed at night, he had to go to the cabinet to look through them, for fear that they were missing or wrinkled.
When Ye Juechen saw Hua Yanxi's nonchalant look, he knew that Ye Yibai's hard work was in vain.
Even he knew that the way he dressed today was just to attract Hua Yanxi's attention, but the bright moon shone in the ditch, and it was not a human being.
This woman is not a normal woman at all.
Ye Juechen didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. Instead, he said, "We're leaving tomorrow. I'll go back and pack my luggage."
Hua Yanxi said: "Tomorrow, don't come with us."
She was still worried that Ye Yibai's condition had not yet recovered, and it would not be good for him to be discovered because of the crowd of people.
Ye Juechen frowned: "What do you mean."
"We will leave first tomorrow, you stay and finish the matter before leaving."
"Things, what other things are there? Are there just these inventory things that you can't finish today?" Ye Juechen was surprised.
Hua Yanxi nodded when she heard this: "Yes, I can't finish it."
As he said that, he stuffed the account book into his arms and patted his shoulder: "You can do the rest yourself."
With that said, he walked away directly.
Ye Juechen was left sitting there, speechless and regretful in his heart. He shouldn't have said anything.
Early the next morning, it was rare that there was no snow in Xishan, but there was still thick snow on the ground.
The two carriages drove down the mountain like old women staggering.
Incense was burning in the car, and Hua Yanxi held the book in her hand and read it carefully.
Ye Yibai was also dressed elegantly today, even the piping and embroidery on the cuffs were particularly delicate, but he still wore the Yaksha mask on his face, which was very inconsistent with his outfit.
"Yan Yan, the mountain road is bumpy and reading hurts your eyes." Ye Yibai reminded in a low voice from the side.
"Yes." Hua Yanxi responded, put down the book, took the tea he had just poured and sipped it without saying much.
Ye Yibai always felt like there was a barrier between the two of them.
In the past, Hua Yanxi didn't like to talk, and sometimes she would answer with one word, but she felt completely different from now.
Dare to stay at the inn just before it gets dark, Ye Yibai directly booked a room on the entire floor and never came out after entering the room.
At night, Hua Yanxi listened to the noise coming from next door and stayed awake for a long time, but she didn't go to check again.
The road was bumpy during the day, and he had to endure the strange physical attacks at night. After a few days, Ye Yibai became visibly haggard.
At first I could sit upright, but for the next few days I almost lay on the carriage.
Looking at Hua Yanxi who had been turning a blind eye next to her, Ye Yi's white eyes were filled with sadness, but he never complained to her.
He said it himself, it was his own business, and she naturally didn't want to meddle in it.
On the remote path, several guards rode on horseback to guard the carriage, and the journey was calm.
Ah Yu heard that there was no movement in the carriage except breathing, and couldn't help but drive the horse to Ah Ying's side.
"Master and Madam, they have rarely spoken these days. What should we do?"
Ah Ying glanced at him and said, "Master, please stay off your business."
"How dare I care? I just looked at them like this and felt very uncomfortable. Along the way, it was as if they were not escorting the master, but just supporting the spirit to return home. They were lifeless."
"Shut up!" Is this what he can say?
Ah Yu stuck out his tongue and felt that his metaphor was inappropriate, so he couldn't help but said, "Should we find a way to help Master?"
Ah Ying was silent for a moment: "This is the master's own wish."
"What do you mean? Deliberately neglecting Madam?" Ah Yu was surprised.
Ah Ying didn't say anything else. Although he didn't know the whole story, he could tell in the past few days that his master did it on purpose.
"Stop talking, we will arrive in the capital one day, don't..."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a whooshing sound, and a sharp arrow shot from mid-air, aiming directly at the people in the carriage.
Then, countless arrows rained down.
The horse was frightened and could not take another step forward.
Several guards immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to protect the carriage and cut down the arrows.
Dozens of figures emerged from the darkness and rushed towards the direction where the arrows were coming from.
