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.
"Ke'er, don't break into the imperial study without my permission again, do you understand?"
He finally spoke, but the ruthless warning in his words was so hurtful.
Ke'er raised her eyes, her full eyes silently looked at the cold look on his face, her heart hurt so much that even her fingertips were throbbing.
She used all her strength to suppress the burning in her eyes and hold back the sad tears.
Seeing her silence, Aochen Yewu thought she had listened.
So he walked down the steps and walked towards her door...
Now that she has entered the Imperial Study Room, he doesn't need to avoid her anymore.
Ke'er stared at him in a daze as he walked over, at how naturally he showed his superior aura on his face, at him... with an air of alienation from her, at his familiar face... but no longer familiar to her.
smile...
Her heart hurts so much...
Can a person really change in an instant?
No, she didn't believe that he would suddenly be so ruthless to her. She didn't believe that he was the kind of man who was quick and easy. She didn't believe it!
There must be some secret or misunderstanding in this?
So, when he approached her, she impulsively grabbed his sleeve.
She wanted to ask him what he was thinking? Did Princess Yang Xi use some secrets from the two countries to threaten him?
It was for the sake of the country that he was so indifferent to himself. Yes, if it was for national affairs, he would definitely put national affairs first! She knew this a long time ago, so was it also for national affairs this time?
If so, she wanted to ask clearly, and she didn't want to die in such an unclear way.
"Ao Chenye, I have something to tell you. Can you give me some time? I promise I will finish it soon."
Being pulled by her, he could easily break away. However, when he met her watery eyes, he found that he couldn't shake her off.
He frowned tightly and endured, his voice waveless and ruthless: "I'm very busy, please tell me quickly."
Such impatient words made Ke'er's heart hurt hard again.
Has it reached the point where you no longer have any patience with her?
She couldn't help but feel sorry for herself in her heart, but she quickly suppressed these bad emotions. Now was the time for her to seize the opportunity to find out the truth of the matter, not to feel sorry for herself.
Trying to stay calm, she asked in a tentative tone: "Ao Chenye, you... suddenly became so alienated from me, is it because of Princess Yang Xi..."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, he seemed to have an unbearable handsome face and interrupted her - "Ke'er! If you want to say something to Yang Xi that is detrimental to the woman who is the king,
I will not tolerate you if you use your status or do something that will target Yang Xi in the future. Yang Xi is the princess of Fulong Kingdom. She came with the important mission of Fulong Kingdom to hope for the marriage between the two countries. I hope you
Don't let me down like Concubine Xun, do you understand what I mean?"
Ao Chenye's words struck her chest mercilessly, and the bloody pain pulled at her heart.
Her lips turned white, trembling, and she staggered back unbearably.
Does he mean... that she is not allowed to fight back against any provocation or harm from Princess Yang Xi?
All this time, he just...just wanted to find her fresh as Princess Yang Xi said. Now...the freshness period is over, he...has begun to put his interest in his relationship with Princess Yang Xi.
...'s... got married...
So heartless.
Her eyes were red, tears were streaming down her face and she smiled, her smile was bleak, and her smile was meaningless.
I really want to...just turn around and leave. I don't want to see his cold and heartless face again, and I don't want to hear him say words that almost want to destroy her in such a cold tone.
But why couldn't her steps move, and why was her heart so deeply hurt by him still driving her to say something to save her?
Does love always make women unable to help themselves from becoming so cowardly, so...humble?
The words blurted out uncontrollably again: "Ao Chenye, no matter what you think of me now, but I want to say that I have never done anything bad to Princess Yang Xi..."
"That's enough, go back."
Ao Chenye turned around quickly and turned his back to her again, his cold posture telling her that he no longer wanted to hear anything she said.
Once again, because it concerns Princess Yang Xi, do you not even want to hear her finish a sentence?
Why did Ao Chenye, who always doted on her so much, turn into the ruthless person he is now?
She bit her lip tightly until it turned white, causing her eyes to bleed slightly. The deep pain prevented her from crying.
The heartache that can only be deeply concealed is so painful that it affects my whole body, as if the wound that I once pierced my chest with a dagger is also hurting.
Why does the wound that has obviously healed suddenly feel like it is about to burst at this moment?
Seeing him turning his back to her indifferently, she suddenly felt that... the knife she had thrust into her chest for him had become so ridiculous, so... ironic.
Her heart hurt so much, every cell in her body was screaming in pain, and she was about to faint from the pain.
Standing tall and strong, she swallowed everything.
It looked like he couldn't listen to anything she said.
"……Good night."
In the end, she said this sentence with difficulty. She could no longer pretend to be strong and turned around and ran out of the imperial study.
She had to leave, otherwise, she was afraid that she would cry cowardly in front of him.
She didn't want to cry, let alone cry again in front of him, because he would never pity her, never feel sorry for her, and never wipe the tears from her eyes as lovingly as before.
…
Ao Chenye stood with his back to the ground and heard her footsteps running out, so hurried and fast, as if this place was so terrifying that she ran away in a hurry.
A trace of suppressed impulse surged through his dark eyes.
Yes, impulsive. When she ran out of the door, he actually had an inexplicable urge to speak and keep her.
However, as soon as the thought came up, there was a strong voice in his heart that objected, reproaching him for not caring so much about other women.
Yang Xi's tender expression immediately appeared in his mind, so shocking that all he could think of was her.
He closed his eyes and felt that his head was confused. He didn't know what was going on?
"King." Eunuch Dequan's voice suddenly sounded.
Ao Chenye opened his eyes and saw Eunuch Dequan walking over, looking at him with a reproachful look in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Ao Chenye frowned, puzzled by the condemnation coming from Eunuch Dequan.
Didn't Dequan always feel that Ke'er was not worthy of him? Although he once told Dequan that he wanted to adopt Ke'er as his queen, and although Dequan agreed, he knew that it was just Dequan following his orders, not
I sincerely accepted Kerr.
But now Dequan's eyes were accusing him, as if he felt that his alienation from Ke'er was inappropriate.
Eunuch Dequan looked at the night sky and said in a deep tone: "King, I saw Miss Ke'er today... as if she wasn't feeling well. Would you like to go back early to see her?"
He originally thought that the master's expression would change due to these words, but what he saw was the indifference on his face.
"Go and tell Cui'er to accompany her tonight. I don't want to go back to Chen Palace to sleep tonight."
"King! You..." Eunuch Dequan could not accept such a master, and his voice rose slightly.
Why did Wang become so ruthless to Miss Kerr?!
Seeing that Eunuch Dequan seemed to be very concerned about Ke'er's affairs, Ao Chenye instinctively felt a surge of displeasure and sourness in his heart. He didn't like other men being so nervous about Ke'er.
"Eunuch Dequan, when was it your turn to learn the following mistakes?" He blurted out in an unhappy tone, looking a little irritable.
Eunuch Dequan was stunned and looked at him, feeling that his master had become a bit strange.
However, the master's rebuke was not wrong, so Eunuch Dequan lowered his face in shame and stopped talking.
However, in my heart I don't agree with my master's behavior.
So, he bowed and withdrew with an apologetic look on his face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. That servant will do as the King ordered now."
After saying that, he immediately left the Imperial Study Room and walked towards the Chen Palace without looking back.
As a subordinate, he couldn't help with the masters' matters, but at least he could comfort Miss Kerr.
…
With concern, Eunuch Dequan walked quickly and soon arrived at Chen Palace.
But he saw that Ke'er was not inside, but standing in the courtyard outside, motionless. In the dark night, her figure looked particularly desolate.
He wanted to go forward and say something, but he knew that Miss Kerr might want to be alone at this time.
So, he chose to stand not far away and watch her quietly.
Time passes slowly in silence...
The night sky suddenly lost the light and shadow of the moon, and layers of clouds gathered together. A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the distant sky and then disappeared silently, indicating that the sky was about to change color.
Eunuch Dequan looked at the sky anxiously, and then at Ke'er who was still standing there without making any movement. He was anxious and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wang walking towards him. His eyes lit up and he immediately turned around to meet him.
"king."
On the other side of the garden in the courtyard, Ke'er vaguely heard Eunuch Dequan's call. Her body trembled. She suddenly looked back and saw Ao Chenye talking to Eunuch Dequan. The distance was a bit far away and she couldn't hear what they were saying.
.
She couldn't take her eyes off him and stared at him quietly, afraid to see him again, afraid to be frostbitten by his indifference, but... she really wanted to look at him like this, really... she wanted... him not to leave in front of her eyes.
