He put his arms around her thin shoulders protectively. He frowned at Ke'er and said, "Ke'er, what's wrong with you? You scared Yang Xi."
Seeing him defending Yang Xi like this, Ke'er felt that the sadness in her heart was about to overwhelm her.
She clenched her fists tightly, the aggrievedness and jealousy in her heart made her head heat up, and she impulsively sarcastically said: "Am I scared? Ha, how could she be so delicate!"
Ao Chenye's keen eyes caught the uncontrollable jealousy in her eyes, and his handsome face sank.
When did she become so petty like other women in the harem, and did she start playing tricks to win favor?
"Ke'er! You're not cute at all!"
He actually scolded her in front of others like this?
Not only did Ke'er feel that she couldn't lose face, but when she saw Princess Yang Xi secretly showing her that sinister smile of victory, her mood became even more depressed.
She bit her lip, resisting the burning in her eyes, preventing tears from gathering into drops, and looked at him silently.
Seeing him sullenly looking at her, she suddenly felt...he was so heartless, so heartless that she felt so strange.
The him who used to laugh and play with her seemed to just appear in a dream. Maybe he had a dream with her, and now he just woke up from the dream.
Seeing the tense confrontation between them, Princess Yang Xi pretended to be a peacemaker and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
She first deliberately took a few steps away from Ao Chenye and smiled flatteringly at Ke'er.
"Since Sister Ke'er doesn't like me getting close to Ao Chenye like this, then from now on I will..."
Seeing her show of weakness, Ao Chenye felt a little irritated and stretched out his hand to pull Yang Xi back.
"No! Yang Xi, you did nothing wrong. Ke'er really shouldn't be like this."
He glanced at the stubborn-looking Ke'er with displeasure. Seeing that she was still standing there with the same expression on her face, the annoyance in his heart deepened even more.
"Ke'er!" He called her again in a calm voice, and motioned her to restrain herself with his cold eyes.
Ke'er saw his hint, and she suddenly wanted to laugh, but she was laughing sadly in her heart.
"Haha, Ao Chenye, is this how you see me? Do you think I'm someone who likes to stir up trouble?" She asked sadly, looking at his eyes filled with sadness.
"you……"
He just wanted to say that she was provoking trouble if she didn't apologize. However, just as he opened his mouth and started to speak, suddenly - No! She is not such a woman!
A sharp retort sounded in his mind, making his heart beat fast.
In his mind, scenes of their sweet happiness could not help but reappear, and something deep in his heart seemed to be touched, but soon it was covered up by another wave of emotions.
What's left is another feeling of indifference.
——That's right, she shouldn't be so cruel to Yang Xi, and she shouldn't speak so harshly just because she's jealous of Yang Xi...
——Actually, it’s not all her fault…
The two voices began to intertwine and thunder in his mind, causing his forehead to throb and hurt, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"Ugh!" He couldn't bear the tearing pain. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold his forehead and groaned in discomfort. It was as if the strength of his body was taken away by this severe pain, which made him unable to even stand.
It kept shaking.
"Ao Chen Ye (Brother Ye), what's wrong with you?" Yang Xi and Ke'er said the same words anxiously at almost the same time, and reached out to help him at the same time.
Ke'er was so anxious that she couldn't care about anything else, and temporarily forgot all her cares for Yang Xi. She said to Yang Xi anxiously: "I'm afraid that Ao Chenye is not feeling well? Let's send him to the doctor immediately.
Let’s take a look at the museum.”
She had no idea why Ao Chenye had a headache, but she instinctively thought that he might be sick. Seeing his suddenly pale face, her mind was completely occupied by worrying about him, and she could not think of anything else.
Yang Xi was also afraid that something might happen to Ao Chen Ye, and even more worried about whether Qing Dan would have any side effects. So she didn't care about acting anymore, and the two of them worked together to support Ao Chen Ye and rushed to the imperial hospital.
However, Ao Chenye, who had just taken steps and was weak just now, suddenly returned to normal. He broke away from their support, stood still, and refused: "No need to go to the Royal Medical Clinic, I'm fine."
He knew whether he was sick or not, and he instinctively resisted going to the imperial doctor.
"Ao Chenye, now is not the time to show off, okay?" Ke'er was anxious in her heart, and for a moment she forgot his cold attitude towards her just now, thinking that they were still as indifferent as before.
However, Ao Chenye was displeased. He frowned sternly, feeling violated by Long Wei that she was "talking nonsense" to him: "Ke'er, pay attention to the way you speak."
Ke'er was shocked by his warning and looked at him in disbelief, as if she had never known him before. For a long time, she was unable to speak.
Maybe the person in front of him is not Ao Chenye, but someone else's illusion.
The Ao Chenye she knew would never care so much about whether her words and deeds were inappropriate.
However, his eyes, his nose, his face, and the smell emanating from his body were all so familiar to her.
For a while, she couldn't deceive herself into doubting his authenticity anymore, but she couldn't believe what he said to her either.
She opened her mouth, her lips trembled in deep shock, and finally asked softly: "...what did you say?"
His heart was clearly instructing him to repeat what he just said. However, looking at her pale expression of deep shock, he could not obey his will and continue speaking.
Ke'er just stared at him silently, waiting, her heart... clenching...
Ha... She was actually afraid of his silence at the moment, and even more afraid... that he would repeat what he said just now. Perhaps, what she was most afraid of... was the meaning behind his words.
And Ao Chenye looked at her and couldn't speak for a long time.
Damn it, what happened to him? Why did his mood become so strange to him? Why was it that even though his heart was no longer attached to her, he still couldn't become as indifferent as he was to other unloved concubines before?
damn it!
Just when his thoughts were confused, Eunuch Dequan came towards him and said, "King, I have brought you the sandalwood you requested."
Seeing Eunuch Dequan, Ao Chen suddenly remembered at night that the sandalwood had burned out when he was reading the memorial in the royal study, and he ordered Eunuch Dequan to bring some more.
Damn it, when did he become forgetful?
Rubbing his forehead, his eyes wandered between the two women. Suddenly, he didn't want to face them. He needed to think about it, think about it...
So, he nodded to Eunuch Dequan and said: "Just in time, I remembered that there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. You can go back to the palace and rest on your own."
"Brother Ye, just go and do your work and don't worry about me." Yang Xi said positively and softly.
But Ke'er was immersed in his own uneasiness, and was so flustered that he didn't hear what Ao Chenye said.
In response to her lack of response, Ao Chenye glanced at her one more time and saw that she was slightly twitching her brows, as if something was bothering her.
He also frowned slightly, not because of her, but because he suddenly found that his heart no longer felt pity for her, and was very calm, almost indifferent.
This feeling of being too cold made him feel panicked.
It shouldn't be like this.
He couldn't accept his indifferent treatment of her, so he felt that he was almost forced to care about her.
"...Little cutie, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
He looked at her with concern with his dark eyes, but his steps were not obeying him and he walked closer to her to find out what was going on.
Just because, looking at this pretty face that he once loved and cherished, he just felt calm and had no urge to get closer.
No matter how unreasonable he felt this was, no matter how much he wanted to reverse this indifference, his efforts were still in vain.
He... actually has no feelings for his little cutie. The cutie he has always doted on seems to not be so cute and painful in his mind...
When he was struggling, Ke'er stood there quietly, looking at him silently, waiting for him to come over.
He came over and hugged her as usual and said sweet goodbyes to her. Waiting, he would occasionally whisper in her ears like before and say some ambiguous words of love that he couldn't bear to leave her side.
However, all the waiting only resulted in him standing there, lost in thought... Moreover, the focus of his eyes was not on her, as if he was looking through her body to an unknown place, so vague.
The look in God's eyes... He had never looked at her so blindly before.
I can't accept his change.
She pursed her lips tightly, suppressed her inner pride, and took the initiative to walk closer to him.
"Ao Chenye, I don't feel sleepy anymore, why don't I come with you." She looked at him almost pleadingly. In the past, they often stayed together in the imperial study room, he looked at the memorials, and she looked at her.
I like to read books and enjoy quiet time together.
She felt that he liked that kind of quiet happiness very much before, but now, she was not sure about it.
In my heart, I felt a pain due to this uncertainty, but I could only endure it.
Everything may be just her carelessness.
However, his answer broke her strength.
"No need, I have to deal with important political matters, it's not suitable for you to go." He suddenly seemed a little cold, as if he was deeply afraid of her getting involved in politics.
It's not suitable for her to go, it's not suitable...
Ke'er's eyes trembled slightly as she looked at him suddenly, her heart was completely chilled to the freezing point. She opened her mouth and wanted to ask him again to confirm whether he wanted to say that, but she couldn't ask a word.
Although Eunuch Dequan, who had been standing aside, didn't understand what happened before, when he heard Ao Chenye's words, he looked back and forth at them in surprise.
Why did Wang refuse Miss Kerr's request? This is so unusual. Wang had never refused Miss Kerr to accompany him in the imperial study room before!
