My heart has begun to feel familiar pain again. Recently, this melody has become more and more familiar, and I have become more and more accustomed to it.
Not wanting to stay in such a smoky place anymore, she endured the pain of love, pretended to give him a look without any nostalgia, and then turned back resolutely.
She didn't want to miss his face anymore, nor did she want to miss him anymore... Those eyes that always made her unable to extricate herself, whether they were gentle, doting or indifferent, she didn't want to see again.
Eunuch Dequan, who had been commanding the palace people in a remote area, felt uneasy when he saw Ke'er leaving the hall with a pale look on his face. So he quietly told a young eunuch beside him and followed Ke'er secretly.
…
After walking out of the main hall, Ke'er kept walking in a direction with few people.
Just because the place is too lively and not suitable for her now.
Walking alone in a deserted palace, the lonely darkness around him completely enveloped him.
In the invisible blackness, only a few dim candle lights on the roadside were swaying dimly.
It wasn't until this deserted moment that Kerr finally let the long-suppressed tears burst out of her eyes. In order not to make a sound, she cried so suppressed that her lips were trembling. The faint candlelight swayed in the late autumn wind, faintly
The light shines through, mottled into pieces in the tearful eyes...
Occasionally, palace people were passing by in a hurry on the road preparing supplies for the engagement ceremony. They only took a moment to look at her, and then quickly passed by her without asking any questions.
Her tired heart gradually became numb to all perceptions of the outside world, and she walked in a trance in the lonely palace.
When you are heartbroken, no matter how strong your armor is, it will be completely shattered. Why do you feel like you want to fall asleep deeply?
When you fall asleep, there will be no sadness, nor... the helplessness of not being able to recall the past...
I never knew that changes in relationships could be so unexpected and so... hurt...
In the confusion, Ke'er didn't realize that she had reached a remote place...
During the turn, two black figures suddenly flashed out of the darkness, and before Ke'er had time to react, they hit her on the shoulder and neck with a palm - "Pfft!"
A muffled sound broke the silent air, followed by Ke'er's muffled groan: "Ugh!" The dizzy pain caused her to faint.
In the darkness, two men in black whispered to each other: "Hurry, take her away quickly."
So, the two of them worked together to lift the unconscious Ke'er and quickly left towards the dark and secluded path.
Eunuch Dequan, who had been following Ke'er at a short distance, watched them quickly attack Ke'er and kidnap her quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Everything happened at lightning speed, so fast that he didn't even have time to shout.
He instinctively wanted to chase them in the direction they disappeared. However, as soon as his feet moved, he immediately forced himself to calm down.
"No, how can I catch up with them without the strength to restrain myself? How can I save Miss Kerr? I have to report it to the king as soon as possible."
So, Eunuch Dequan quickly ran towards the main hall in great anxiety...
…
Festive music filled the air, lingering among the laughing and laughing crowd, adding to the noisy atmosphere.
Princess Yang Xi accepted the congratulations from the dignitaries in front of her with a happy smile, and even her response was with a smile - "Hahaha, thank you so much, Master Liu, for your kind words..."
"Please enjoy yourself, Mr. Li..."
Ao Chenye accompanied Princess Yang Xi somewhat absent-mindedly and basically kept silent.
For some reason, he just saw Concubine Ying talking to Ke'er over there. Although the expression on her face didn't show anything, he seemed to be able to feel that she was... very sad and sad at that time. He was almost sure that Concubine Ying was...
The concubine is deliberately looking for trouble for Ke'er.
At that moment, he wanted to rush over and take good care of her, and that impulse almost forced his reason back.
That feeling was too overwhelming, and too... impulsive. It was so impulsive that he, who was always absolutely rational with women, felt at a loss as to what to do.
Subconsciously, there was a strong voice driving him to find Ke'er who had disappeared. As time went by, that voice stimulated his meninges more and more.
His forehead began to throb, and his face turned pale from the unbearable pain.
Caught in a trance of love, he didn't hear Yang Xi calling him: "Brother Ye? Brother Ye..."
It wasn't until Princess Yang Xi couldn't help but secretly tug on his sleeve with her hand that he woke up from the trance caused by stimulation.
"Huh?" He tilted his head slightly and responded absentmindedly.
Seeing that he was in a trance and his eyes were secretly lingering in the direction of the door, the alarm bell in Yang Xi's heart immediately rang.
She held his arm tightly, suppressed her unhappiness, smiled affectionately at him, and said softly and coyly: "Brother Ye, Mr. Liu Cai is congratulating us."
Ao Chenye narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Cai. He saw a frightened smile on his face, as if he didn't know if he had made any mistake because he didn't respond. A hint of impatience flashed across his eyes.
He smiled lightly and nodded: "I have received Mr. Cai's congratulations. Is it going well for Mr. Cai to take over Zhanmafang?"
"Yes, I have not dared to slack off at all since I took office, but I can still share this responsibility for the king. I wish you a drink!"
Princess Yang Xi immediately brought a glass of wine to Ao Chenye from the tray in the hands of a passing palace servant. The smile in her eyes conveyed to Master Cai, and the deep hidden meaning circulated between them...
Ao Chenye didn't notice Princess Yang Xi's hiding at all, or he was absent-minded.
He raised the glass and drank it in one gulp, then handed the glass to Yang Xi and said in a low voice that only they could hear - "Yang Xi, I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to explain to Dequan. Please help me deal with it."
Leave these people alone, I will rush back when the elders preside over the ceremony, can you do it alone?"
His words deliberately revealed his high hopes and trust in her.
Looking at his pleading eyes, Yang Xi felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
I am secretly happy in my heart...
It seems that Brother Ye now regards her as a virtuous wife. Given time, she will definitely become a virtuous queen who leads the harem!
So, she smiled brightly, full of confidence, and had a courageous look on her face that she was willing to share everything with him. Her eyes comforted him and she whispered firmly: "Brother Ye, just go ahead and do whatever you want to do. I'll do it here."
Just give it to me, I will be here waiting for you to come back, don’t worry, I will definitely let you have no worries!"
There was a hidden meaning in her words, and her eyes were full of tenderness that she thought she would give everything to him.
Looking into her eyes, Ao Chenye felt his heart suddenly shake, almost suppressing the urge to find Ke'er in his mind.
Subconsciously, he forced himself to look away against his will, twitching the corners of his lips, and then hurriedly turned around and left.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that if he looked into her tender eyes again, he would change his decision to find Ke'er. However, the subconscious impulse in his mind was urging him not to change.
His subconscious impulse made him move quickly, and soon he was far away from Princess Yang Xi and disappeared into the crowd.
When he walked towards the gate, Eunuch Dequan suddenly rushed in from outside, looking a little panicked.
Unable to attract the attention of everyone in the hall, Ao Chenye quickly pulled Eunuch Dequan out and pulled him outside.
In the dark corner, Ao Chenye frowned and scolded in a low voice - "Dequan, what are you doing in such a hurry? Do you know how many people and how many pairs of eyes there are looking at me?
What are your rules?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was reckless." Mr. Dequan lowered his head apologetically and apologized.
Ao Chenye frowned a little more. He didn't know why he always felt uneasy, so he couldn't wait to ask again: "What happened?"
Eunuch Dequan hesitated for a moment and cast his eyes in the direction of the hall. When he saw the laughter and chatter there, his face looked a little depressed and angry. It was all because of tonight's engagement party that something happened to Miss Kerr!
Then, with a hint of reproach in his angry eyes, he replied in a tight tone: "King, I don't understand why you betray Miss Kerr and don't care about her life or death. Does the king really care about you?"
Is Miss Ker completely heartless?!"
Hearing Eunuch Dequan's suppressed and indignant words, Ao Chenye felt his brain was pounding and his forehead stung. He shrank his pupils as if he had caught something: "Dequan, is Ke'er pregnant?
whats the matter?"
There was a hint of anxiety in his words, as if... he really cared about Ke'er. However, at this moment, it felt a bit harsh to Eunuch Dequan's ears.
Eunuch Dequan twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically, his eyes darkened, he suppressed the anger in his heart in a low voice, and asked suspiciously - "Wang, do you really still care about Miss Kerr? If you care enough to let her go, you can leave her here."
Let go of Princess Yang Xi?"
If Wang chooses to stay at the engagement party and abandon Miss Kerr, then it would be best for him to find someone else to track Miss Kerr.
"Eunuch Dequan!" Ao Chenye lowered his voice sternly and frowned fiercely at Eunuch Dequan's obviously sarcastic words.
His low drink cleared up Eunuch Dequan's somewhat confused eyes.
In the darkness, I looked at my master quietly for a while, looking at him with stern eyes that seemed to be filled with real worry.
Wang still cares about Miss Kerr!
Therefore, Eunuch Dequan anxiously reported: "I saw Miss Ke'er leaving earlier. I was worried, so I followed her from a distance. However, two people suddenly knocked Miss Ke'er unconscious and took her away!"
Hearing Eunuch Dequan's words, Ao Chenye felt a sudden coldness sweep over his forehead, and a scene vaguely flashed through his mind - in his vague memory, one night, she suddenly disappeared in Chen Palace and was kidnapped.
He was almost insulted outside the palace, and then he remembered how he felt at that time...
