Everyone suddenly sat in silence. For a moment, no one knew what to say.
Ye Fan put his hand in Sima Xichen's hand, slightly sweating, and the nervousness in his heart could not be concealed in the clenched hands. Her ten years of experience were not enough for her to face such realistic things.
She was not timid, she was actually afraid, not knowing how to deal with the next step. If she made a mistake and caused a dispute, how would she face everyone in Aolin Villa?
"What's wrong?" Sima Xichen asked softly and gently.
Ye Fan shook his head, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Si - Lin Xichen, to be honest, I am really afraid of this unpredictable life. I would rather live a plain life without any trouble. It is best to be a
People who are so ordinary that they will never be noticed are my biggest dreams."
Sima Xichen was slightly stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He just held Ye Fan's hand tightly, but didn't know how to comfort the fear in the woman's heart.
For the pawn in this plan, he was an unexpected person. He had a tenderness in his heart that could not be hindered, and this tenderness was the most terrifying and the most undesirable.
Wu Huai postponed the attack until the emperor's order came. It would take some time until the emperor's order came. Sima Xichen decided to take Ye Fan to leave first and wait until the emperor's order came. The last time it was just the emperor's oral order, now he has to wait for the imperial order.
Just come.
Along the way, Ye Fan was silent and in a daze. He didn't know what he was thinking. He sat on the horse and leaned lightly against Sima Xichen, but Sima Xichen could hardly feel her presence. She was so real.
It was right in front of him, yet so far away that he couldn't touch it, which made Sima Xichen feel sad in his heart.
Ye Fan seemed to be alienating himself intentionally.
Entering the gate of the manor, Master Lin and Mo Luyi greeted them. Sima Xichen took Ye Fan off the horse. Du Ruoxin walked out from behind Mo Luyi, grabbed Sima Xichen's arm, and asked worriedly
: "Brother Xichen, are you okay? How can you go out alone? I'm scared to death."
Sima Xichen subconsciously glanced at Ye Fan beside him. Ye Fan's expression was very calm, as if he didn't see anything. He smiled at Du Ruoxin and said: "It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry. Xiaofan, you
Are you okay, why are you always in a daze?"
Ye Fan said calmly: "Nothing, I was just wondering what kind of reaction the emperor would have and how he would deal with the current situation."
"Let him go as he pleases, no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter." Sima Xichen gently held Ye Fan's hand and said softly, "You don't have to mind too much, as long as you are good."
"You are so kind to her. If she hadn't been so troubled, how could we be in this situation?! A married woman would actually let a strange man send a message to her family. Where do you place brother Xichen?" Du Ruoxin
He said coldly, "Fortunately, you are still a rich lady from the royal palace. I don't think you are more than this."
Ye Fan didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Ruoxin!" Mo Luyi scolded softly, "Don't be troublesome."
Ye Fan still didn't react at all, just stood quietly.
"Sister, you have indulged her too much. Ruoxin is right. Isn't the current situation in Aolin Villa caused by her willfulness?" Mo Ziyi also interjected from the side, "The current situation has resulted in this situation, everyone.
Do you think it's appropriate to accommodate her?"
"Okay, don't talk anymore." Master Lin raised his voice slightly and said, "Isn't it a big deal? The emperor sent people to besiege Aolin Villa. This kind of conflict will happen sooner or later, but it's just a little earlier.
, why put all the responsibility on Miss Ye? It’s not like Miss Ye is determined to marry us at Aolin Villa, so she can’t help but be unwilling and suspicious.”
Ye Fan didn't even raise his head. There was a touch of moisture in his eyes, which he stubbornly refused to let go. He was indescribably confused in his heart. He just wanted to quickly hide in a place where no one was around and hide well. If he said it,
He still had the upper hand in the confrontation with Wu Huai, but why, from the deepest part of his heart, did he feel so bored?
"Xiaofan may be tired. I'll take her back to rest. If anything happens, let me know." Sima Xichen saw Ye Fan's fatigue and immediately said, "If nothing happens, everyone should go and have a rest. Don't be fooled."
The behavior of the imperial court has made people uneasy."
Master Lin nodded and said to everyone, "Let's all leave."
Sima Xichen took Ye Fan back to the island where he lived alone. Ye Fan returned to his room and lay on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep. Only sleep could escape everyone's concern and suspicion. In the past, when he was hurt, he would
I wish I could fall asleep from now on and never wake up.
"Xiaofan, why are you so depressed?" Sima Xichen asked in a soft voice, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Ye Fan closed his eyes and said in a tired voice: "Sima Xichen, this is not the life I want. What I want is just a peace of mind to be together, the usual sunrise and sunset, and you,
I am the descendant of Sima Rongyin. I am just a pawn of yours. It’s not that I don’t want to love you, I just have no way to love you and I can’t love you. Ye Fan wants to beg you. If one day you really become the emperor, please
Erase Ye Fan from your life, so that Ye Fan can stay alone quietly, guard a clean courtyard, have a warm quilt, read a few readable novels, and drink a cup of hot tea.
Ye Fan is extremely grateful. There are so many lovely people in you, but I don’t care how small or how heavy you are." The last sentence was almost a whisper, murmuring like tears.
Sima Xichen didn't know why Ye Fan was suddenly in such a low mood. He didn't know what to say. It took him a long time before he said, "Are you resenting me in your heart?"
Ye Fan closed his eyes and refused to speak, as if he was really asleep, breathing quietly, but there were light tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Your appearance is indeed an accident." Sima Xichen sighed softly, held Ye Fan's hand, and said softly, "We do have our plan, and I do intend to avenge my father.
This is my business. It shouldn’t involve you originally, but our plan requires a woman who is related to the imperial court and has a special status so that we can use her as a cover to carry out our plan under the eyes of the current emperor. You
My father was an important minister of the dynasty and was once my mother's bodyguard, so he chose your palace and chose you from the three women in your palace. The original intention was to choose Ye Xin, but your intelligence and calmness attracted Mo Lu's attention.
Yi's attention, and everything about you infected me invisibly, making me choose you involuntarily. This was indeed an accident, an accident in our plan, but when I married you, I didn't want to take advantage of you, but
I want to protect you well, but I didn’t expect that these things still hurt you invisibly. It really makes me sad. Please believe me, I really don’t want to hurt you. I only hope that I can
