Tomorrow shook his head: "No, that's not what I meant. I think the current situation is unclear and we can't speculate on anything. I just want to say that I believe the king will give us a clear answer sooner or later, so,
Before the king gives other orders, I will only act according to the king’s wishes. [ ]”
"Yes! Me too! So, Leng Yun, you'd better do the same. Don't forget that you once swore to follow the young lady. Don't you want to break your oath so quickly?" Recalling Leng Yun's words.
The scene where Yun Xia was kneeling in front of the young lady suddenly felt a little ridiculous to Ming Yue.
Leng Yun's upright face flushed red, and his expression was tangled and difficult to understand. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
In the end, he could only hang his head in embarrassment and feeling a deep helplessness.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. This was something the three of them had never seen before. For a moment, all three of them felt uncomfortable.
Therefore, Mingyue, who has always been talkative, had no choice but to say something to break the freezing atmosphere: "Oh, things haven't come to that point anyway, so why should we make random guesses here and only add trouble... By the way, let's go back too.
, Wang and Miss should have returned, and it’s time for us to go back and stick to our posts."
When it comes to fulfilling their duties, Tomorrow and Leng Yun seemed to have been given a heads-up. They immediately woke up from the heavy fog. Tomorrow nodded to Mingyue urgingly and said: "Yes, let's go back quickly!"
Then, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward, submerged themselves into the wind and snow, and hurried back towards the road.
…
Crystal Palace.
Warm mist is lingering, and the layers of gauze are gently stirring, as if they are carrying warmth, rolling the thin warm mist emanating from the heater.
In the corner of the room, palace lanterns swayed with dim yellow candlelight, swaying with warm light in such a cold weather, adding a bit of warmth to the room.
Everything looks real and illusory, wonderful.
However, such tranquility did not make Ke'er feel calm.
She was sitting on a royal couch, and her heartbeat felt uneasy, because the man who carried her back stood silently by the window sill after putting her down.
He looked at the falling snow outside the window through the almost transparent gauze curtain, not knowing what he was thinking.
Looking at his back, the silence seemed to be shrouded in a nervous solemnity.
Ke'er hesitated several times, wanting to ask all the riddles in her heart. However, facing his solemn back, she didn't know where to start.
Time passed quietly in such disturbing silence, until Kerr could no longer hold back the questions in her heart and opened her mouth to speak, but the man who had always had his back to her spoke at exactly this moment——
"Ke'er, do you want to tell me that the bracelet on your hand is not the purple spirit bracelet from my Tenglong Kingdom?"
Yeah? He actually said it first.
Just right, so that she doesn't know how to speak.
So, she continued his topic and said with certainty: "Yes, although I don't know how similar the bracelet on my hand is to your purple spirit bracelet, I can be sure that this is definitely not, really, in my case.
I already had this bracelet before I came here, and have you forgotten that you just made it beautiful this morning? This bracelet has always been very old."
After listening to her words, Ao Chenye seemed to have fallen into thinking for a moment. She couldn't see his expression clearly. She didn't know why he fell silent again.
Could it be that he... didn't believe what she said?
Suddenly, her mind flashed back to Leng Yun's strange expression when he saw the bracelet on her hand just outside the Divine Pond, and his subsequent questioning of her about the origin of the bracelet...
She was certain that the expression on Leng Yun's face at that time was that of...suspecting that she...stole their purple spirit bracelet...
Yes, that’s the kind of doubt!
The situation was urgent at that time, and she was too focused on the purple light of the bracelet, so she didn't pay much attention.
But now that she thought about it clearly, she clearly felt that she was suspected of stealing, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
A feeling of depression made her blurt out impulsively——
"Ao Chenye, why don't you say anything? Don't tell me that you suspect me of stealing your purple spirit bracelet?"
After saying that, she bit her lower lip and looked at his back, wanting to know his answer.
She doesn't care about being suspected by others, but...she cares about his opinion on this matter.
Ao Chenye's body stiffened without any trace. Quickly, he turned around and shook his head: "No, don't I know how many nearly two you have? There are knots in the temple where the Purple Spirit Bracelet is enshrined.
It’s protected by the boundary. With your little ability, you can’t get in.”
She exhaled gently, and the tension on her pretty face relaxed.
"Fortunately, you believe me, otherwise, so many people will mistakenly think that my bracelet is yours, and I will be unable to defend myself against them. If you don't believe me, I really don't know how to explain it to you.
"
She stuck out her tongue, jumped down from the imperial concubine's couch briskly, and walked towards him in a relaxed mood.
Looking up at him, she pouted slightly, broke the casserole in dissatisfaction and asked: "Then since you are not doubting me, what are you thinking about?"
Normally, she would not explore his thoughts like this.
But at this moment, she had an invisible urge to know his heart.
Because, although he said that he did not doubt her, the expression on his face was always unpredictable, which was so different from her impression of him.
Ao Chenye lowered his eyes, locking her bright and clear eyes deeply. Those watery eyes like a clear pool were filled with strong curiosity towards him, and he laughed dumbly.
"What? Do you also want to know what I'm thinking? Let's learn how to read minds first."
He teased her teasingly, and at the same time, he flicked her little nose with his finger, and his words and deeds seemed to have returned to the evil spirit that loved to tease her.
However, Ke'er didn't miss the look in his eyes that showed no trace of amusement this time.
She grabbed his hand and scolded him: "I'm serious to you, don't change the subject, I know what you must be thinking!"
While speaking, she stared at him seriously, her eyes threatening him.
Looking at her serious face, the teasing smile on Ao Chenye's face slowly faded, and his eyes gradually became serious.
"I'm wondering...why does your bracelet shine in the divine pool for no reason?" His voice was unfathomable and gentle, and his eyes looked at her for a moment, so deep that they seemed to suck people in.
generally.
When she mentioned this, Ke'er immediately became energetic, so much so that she didn't see the searching meaning in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, I was just about to tell you this. Your magic power can actually make my bracelet shine! It's great. It has never happened like this before... I heard Leng Yun say that you were practicing in the divine pool at that time.
What method? I'm thinking it must be because of your set of spells. By the way, what spell were you casting at that time? Can you cast it again?" She looked at him pleadingly, clasped her hands together, and asked sincerely.
However, just after she finished speaking, Ao Chenye seemed to be touched by something and overreacted and flatly refused: "No!"
"Ah? Why?" Ke'er's face fell, and she looked at his solemn and emotionless face incomprehensibly.
Judging from his expression, he seems a bit serious. Can't that set of spells be used casually?
Ao Chenye looked at her deeply, with a complex and unpredictable light in his eyes, mixed with a hint of thought.
Just looking at her quietly and attentively, he could even see his serious and focused expression in her clear and bright eyes.
In her bright eyes, everything is so clear.
Suddenly, he curled his lips and smiled.
Her mood became lighter, her eyes were always so bright, and she couldn't hide any secrets. Why should he be worried about her?
After thinking about it, he chose to tell her the truth: "Because your bracelet can sense time and space. At that time, I cast a spell in the divine pool to open another time and space. It was the law of time and space that caused your bracelet to glow. It was not because of my magic power, but time and space."
The method cannot be used casually, it must be in the illusory world of Shenchi, otherwise it will cause chaos."
Ke'er suddenly realized it, and soon her hope rekindled: "The worst we can do is go to the Divine Pond to cast spells."
Ao Chenye shook his head: "It still doesn't work. Casting the time and space method once has already depleted my vitality. You little guy, you still let me continue to cast spells. Do you want to murder your husband?"
He pinched her delicate face, but her thin lips curved in a loving way.
"Ah! It hurts! They don't know that, so they can at most let you rest for a while before going." She hummed, pretending to be very kind.
"Well? Just take a rest?" He hummed at her from the corner of his eye.
She quickly raised two fingers and smiled flatteringly: "Those two times."
He shook his head at her helplessly and indulgently, the smile on his lips never diminishing: "You, you, really want to make your bracelet shine again?"
"Yeah!" She nodded heavily.
Ao Chenye raised his eyebrows: "Little cutie, you only plan to use my magic power and don't plan to tell me the reason? Isn't this unfair?"
His tone was very casual, but when she didn't notice, a hint of disappointment flashed across his beautiful eyes, and she still didn't want to share her affairs with him.
Ke'er coquettishly leaned into his arms, rubbed her face against his warm chest, and said in a playful tone: "I'll tell you when you cast a spell again to make my bracelet shine."
If she could rescue Dede by then, she would seriously introduce him to Dede and let Dede know...she finally found a man who was good to her.
Thinking of that happy scene of reunion, she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, looking forward to that day with a silent smile.
