Regarding her sad and speechless look, Ao Chenye frowned slightly, a little annoyed by her sad look. He was dealing with important matters, and she... didn't need to know...
"Dequan, let's go."
His tone was a little cold, and then he walked into the gate of the palace and went directly to the study.
Eunuch Dequan was confused and looked at Ke'er with some concern. Then he had no choice but to give her a comforting glance and quickly followed Ao Chenye's footsteps.
Watching them one after another, they quickly disappeared at the end of the palace corridor.
Ke'er froze there, feeling that everything in front of him was pale.
Why... why did he suddenly become so... cold, why...
In her heart, she kept repeating these three words, but there was no solution.
Yang Xi secretly gloated and admired the pale Ke'er, and sneered in a sharp voice.
"Sister Ke'er, Brother Ye is dealing with major political affairs, so don't get involved in your daughter's family. Women have not been allowed to participate in politics since ancient times. You don't think you can make an exception, do you?"
Her words sarcastically penetrated into the eardrums, causing them to buzz and hurt.
Ke'er's pretty face tensed up slightly, and she turned her head, looking coldly at Princess Yang Xi's face with a touch of sarcasm.
"Princess Yang Xi, this is a matter between Ao Chenye and I. If you are free, you should go back early to wash up and sleep..."
"This princess is here to remind you out of kindness, Bai Ke'er, you don't have any status with Brother Ye yet, right? You don't even have a status. At best, you are just sending it to Brother Ye's door for you to play with when you have nothing to do.
A woman, Brother Ye is a noble person, what’s the difference between him and a lowly woman like you?"
Princess Yang Xi interrupted her sharply, and her face darkened when she heard the word "name". At the same time, she was also worried about Princess Yang Xi's eyes that seemed to have other plans.
She must have some conspiracy, right?!
Ke'er's intelligent eyes narrowed and his gaze shot sharply towards him.
"Princess Yangxi, what do you mean?"
Seeing her change of expression, Princess Yang Xi also felt that it was time for her to clarify her attitude.
She confidently clasped her hands behind her back and walked a few steps towards Ke'er in an imposing manner. Her innocent eyes were no longer hiding anything, but openly showing a provocative look towards Ke'er.
"Bai Ke'er, can't you still see it? Brother Ao Chenye doesn't like you anymore. Brother Ye likes me. When I become the queen, I will... clean up those things for Brother Ye that he has lost interest in.
A woman, what the harem needs is a woman who can please Brother Ye!"
In the last sentence, she spoke confidently, meaningfully and proudly.
Her words were like waves hitting Ke'er's heart.
Secretly suppressing the shock in her heart, Ke'er remained calm as usual and curled her lips coldly.
"Princess Yang Xi, what's the point of repeating the same topic again and again? Are you bluffing because you're not sure?"
Her words were also laced with sarcasm.
Calling her bluff?!
Princess Yang Xi was furious, but when she thought of Brother Ye's indifference to Ke'er and tenderness to her, she calmed down a little.
Now, she has more important things to do.
That is, let Bai Keer understand his status!
Then, she smiled extremely brightly, as if she was laughing at the other person's ignorance.
"I thought you were a smart person, but who knows, it turns out that it's just that, are you not smart enough, or don't want to face the facts? No matter what, Brother Ye likes me, and you have always been just Ye
Brother Ye’s sleeping toy, otherwise Brother Ye wouldn’t have denied you your title, this fact cannot be denied!”
Ke'er's eyes widened and she immediately retorted coldly: "Princess Yang Xi, it's not daytime now, it's really ridiculous for you to be daydreaming here. Ao Chenye just treats you as a sister and you think she likes you.
It's a bit too narcissistic, and the so-called status is something I don't despise!"
She opens her mouth and shuts her mouth to say that she is a woman who is sleeping in bed. She seems to be someone else's sleeping toy. She is disdainful, disdainful, disdainful...
In response to her sarcasm, Princess Yang Xi shook her head and looked at her with some sympathy.
"Bai Ke'er, don't you feel it yet? From a woman's point of view, maybe I should let you know the truth earlier."
She looked at Ke'er with sympathy and unbearable eyes, and then continued with an expression of fond memories and said - "Actually, just when we were in the imperial study room, Brother Ye finally admitted his feelings. Brother Ye had always wanted to
Marry me. If I hadn't refused because I didn't want to see Brother Ye doting on me, do you think you would still be favored today? Haha, Brother Ye finally decided to neglect you tonight for me. What happened tonight
, as smart as you are, haven’t you discovered anything yet?”
The last question was like a thunderbolt striking Ke'er's forehead, causing her to tremble secretly.
She couldn't help but think of today's scenes in her mind. Every scene was like a dark curtain covering her eyes, making her feel dizzy.
Ke'er secretly tightened her fingers and used all her strength to drown the dark memories.
She tried not to let Princess Yang Xi's words get her into trouble and looked at her arrogant and proud face calmly.
"Ha! That's ridiculous. I never heard Ao Chenye say such words to you from the beginning to the end tonight! It seems that we didn't talk much about each other. Good night!"
Leaving her behind coldly, Ke'er shook her head and walked quickly towards the direction of Chen Palace without looking back.
The heart is actually not as calm as it appears on the surface, and has long been in chaos.
"Even if you escape, it can't change the fact that Brother Ye loves me. Just wait, Brother Ye will explain it to you in person soon! As for Chen Palace, I will let you live there for the time being. Anyway, sooner or later I will
She will be the hostess there, and she will not be in a hurry."
Princess Yang Xi's confident words came from behind her.
With a "bang", Ke'er's response was to close the door loudly.
Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away without responding, Princess Yang Xi's eyes showed a strange and sinister light.
Just wait, there are better things to come.
If you dare to rob Brother Ye from me, I will let you die without a burial place!
Then, she smiled coldly, turned around, and left Prince Luo's Mansion.
…
In the secret corner of the corridor, Ke'er leaned weakly against the wall, panting slightly, feeling a little exhausted and leaning against the wall with her back to support herself.
In my ears, Princess Yang Xi's harsh voice kept echoing - Brother Ye has told me that you are just my bed toy... just my bed toy...
Along with Princess Yang Xi's shrill voice, everything that happened tonight was constantly replayed in her mind.
Heavy stimulation rushed in front of her eyes, making her almost breathless.
"No, it's not true. Ao Chenye wouldn't do this to me. She definitely won't. She's just bluffing. Ao Chenye...he won't!"
She tightly held the golden dragon crystal pendant on her chest, constantly giving herself courage.
Suddenly, her eyes suddenly lifted, and she was eager to see him, to see him alone. She had to talk to him alone to stabilize her chaotic heart.
With some staggering steps, he walked in the other direction leading to the imperial study, avoiding Princess Yang Xi and walking quickly towards the study.
…
In the study, Ao Chenye sat behind the black mahogany desk, listening to Eunuch Dequan's report.
"King, I have followed your instructions to find out the truth behind the kidnapping of Miss Kerr."
"How?" Ao Chenye's deep black eyes sparkled.
"Based on my several days of investigation, I finally determined that the mastermind behind the scenes is... is... Princess Yang Xi." Eunuch Dequan answered with some consideration.
The sharpness in Ao Chenye's black eyes was suddenly shattered. He frowned, closed his eyes heavily, and sighed silently.
Why Yang Xi? He... really didn't want it to be her.
"Sure enough...it's her."
He murmured in disappointment, and then it was silent and silent.
Eunuch Dequan observed his silent expression and didn't know what to do, so he could only wait quietly.
At this time, there was a sharp knock on the study door.
"Knock knock knock, Ao Chen Ye, I am Ke'er."
Outside, Ke'er's voice seemed a little weak.
"It's Miss Ke'er, please open the door." Eunuch Dequan responded almost immediately.
"No need!" Ao Chenye suddenly opened his eyes and stopped him, as if he was stimulated.
Eunuch Dequan was stunned for a moment and looked at his master incomprehensibly.
What exactly happened between Wang and Miss Kerr today? Why does Wang seem to be particularly cold towards Miss Kerr? It can even be said to be...precautionary?
It seems that he doesn't want Miss Kerr to be involved in this matter.
"King, you..."
Eunuch Dequan couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to ask a question, but Ao Chenye had already waved his hand to stop him again.
Then, he walked out from behind the desk and walked quickly towards the back door to avoid Ke'er and left. At the same time, he said as if to hide something: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to discuss with the elders. Why don't you go ahead today?"
No need to wait for me tonight."
However, he had just walked behind the door when the study door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Hula", Ao Chenye narrowed his black eyes coldly, looked at Ke'er who rushed in, and looked at her coldly. Such a cold and reprimanding look froze Ke'er's words in his throat.
She had never seen him look at her so coldly, and at this moment, she was really frightened.
"...Ao Chen Ye..."
She called his name softly.
However, the eyes that were eager to get the answer before he came in were completely frozen by his cold eyes at this moment.
Seeing him standing there solemnly, she felt that her heart was sinking little by little, until she sank into the dark abyss, lost...
The two looked at each other, speechless...
Finally, she couldn't bear his cold and silent gaze that almost suffocated her. She lowered her eyes and allowed herself to be overwhelmed by the chaos in her heart.
