She couldn't take her eyes off him and stared at him quietly. She was afraid of seeing him again, afraid of being frostbitten by his indifference, but... she really wanted to look at him like this, and she really wanted... that he wouldn't leave in front of her eyes.
Is love so blind that people can’t help themselves...
Here, Aochen stood still at night, and Eunuch Dequan happily asked in a low voice: "King, have you come back to Chen Palace to sleep?"
"No, I'm here to tell you something. Tomorrow, watch Ke'er carefully and don't let her bother me again."
"Ah?" Eunuch Dequan was disappointed at first, but he was also confused by Wang's words. Is Wang going to do something important tomorrow? No, even if Wang had something important before, he would not specifically explain it.
We can’t let Miss Kerr follow us!
"You just need to follow my instructions, and there is no need to ask about anything else." Ao Chenye explained calmly.
"..." Mr. Dequan was speechless. He didn't know what was going on right now.
"Wang, did anything unpleasant happen to you and Ke'er?"
Finally, Eunuch Dequan couldn't help but ask, and his voice became a little excited.
Because, seeing the two masters who were originally close to each other become like this, he felt very puzzled and felt even more sorry for Miss Kerr.
What a good girl. Why did Wang change his mind after he appraised Miss Ker's character? He would be sad!
This sentence, his voice raised due to excitement, reached Ke'er's ears.
"There's nothing unpleasant, I just... think it's time to put away my fun and do what I should do."
Ke'er's whole body was trembling slightly, and his words were like countless sharp swords passing through his body, leaving thousands of wounds.
It hurts and seems to be a little numb.
She turned around and looked at his figure through the darkness. Standing upright in such a dark night, it did not diminish his domineering power, which was flowing out in the dark world.
However, it also made her feel more and more that the distance between the two was so far away... that her heart seemed to have fallen into an irredeemable black hole.
Swallowing her dry throat, she spoke softly, unable to hear the ups and downs of her emotions: "What you mean is that you have lost interest in me and are interested in Princess Yang Xi. If you want to marry her, you will abandon me."
Yes, right?"
Hearing this, Ao Chenye's handsome face suddenly changed, and his heart suddenly felt as if something had stabbed him. The sharp pain at this moment made his breathing disordered.
Accompanying this painful pain was an instinctive voice from the bottom of his heart - no, he would never abandon her, even...even if he was about to marry Yang Xi, he would not let her leave him!
Eunuch Dequan looked at them back and forth, seeing that the atmosphere between them became so tense even across the distance. The two sides looked at each other like this, making people feel like a war was about to break out.
"What Miss Wang Ke'er means is..." Eunuch Dequan hurriedly smoothed things over.
Ao Chenye turned his eyes. He ignored Eunuch Dequan and turned to Ke'er coldly. He raised his eyes to look at the petite figure standing not far in front. The darkness did not drown her in white.
However, standing in the distance under the empty night, she looked lonely and fragile, as if the night would swallow her petite body in one fell swoop.
An inexplicable emotion caught his breath. He actually hated seeing her in such darkness and looking so helpless.
He ignored the unbearable feeling in his heart and said in a commanding tone: "Ke'er, I just told you to go back and rest first!"
He does not allow "the woman who is the king" to have anything that is beyond his control. A chess piece without command is likely to destroy the entire chess game and the entire country, just like the father and the king once doted on the king's brother's mother.
In the end, the concubine almost led to the loss of the country.
He will never allow such a thing to happen!
Listening to his cold voice, approaching her eardrums, she looked at him hurt, and the darkness around her pressed closer to her. She stretched out her arms and hugged her body.
She didn't want to stand here and look at his indifferent expression, but...she was so lonely now that she suddenly didn't dare to go back alone to the house that was full of sweetness and happiness in the past.
And...she wanted to stay where he was, as if only by his presence could she be sure that her heart was still alive, even if it was painful.
Embarrassed and heartbroken, she finally moved, but she just turned around to prevent herself from looking at them. Her voice was a little weak - "Can you just let me stand here? I won't eavesdrop on you anymore, either.
I won’t interrupt anymore, I just want to watch this beautiful night alone quietly.”
She was showing weakness on her lips, but her heart was bleeding. With her character, shouldn't she be arrogant and go against him, asking why he was suddenly so ruthless to her? Why is she so cowardly now?
She hates herself like this!
Obviously she shouldn't let herself sink like this, but she doesn't know what to do?
Hearing such fragile words, Mr. Dequan couldn't bear it at first.
"Wang, can you please let Miss Kerr be quiet for a while?" His tone couldn't help but be a little vindictive. Miss Kerr was already sad enough, why should Wang be so cold?
He really couldn't understand the king's thoughts. Today he favors this one and tomorrow he will favor that one. In the past, he never felt anything wrong and would not fight for any concubine who fell out of favor. But this time, he really felt sorry for Ke'er.
Miss.
"Shut up!" Ao Chenye's handsome face darkened, and he didn't know why he felt so repulsed by Eunuch Dequan protecting Ke'er like this.
"King!" Eunuch Dequan summoned up the courage to shout loudly.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up?" Ao Chenye was anxious and wanted to speak out and yell at Eunuch Dequan again to vent the dull feeling in his heart.
Looking up, when he saw her standing there with her back turned, just looking up at the vast night sky, as if she was completely ignorant of them, just like what she said, not eavesdropping, not peeking, as if they were
Everything around her has nothing to do with her.
Looking at her, he actually felt that her indifferent appearance was very annoying, and it also made him feel even more depressed.
"Bai Ke'er, go back to the room, don't make me say it a second time!" His dominance began to get out of control, and his reason was forced to disappear by the dull feeling in his heart, so he just blurted out the answer.
she ordered.
However, she remained silent and did not respond.
After being silent for a long time, the person finally spoke up. His voice was very soft but stubborn: "No, I won't go back."
Ke'er turned around excitedly without obeying her words, biting her lower lip, her watery eyes met Ao Chenye's gaze again, showing her own persistence.
Because she really didn't want to face that house alone that would bring back painful memories. It was now dark and foggy outside, and lightning kept coming. She... would be very scared.
"Okay, if you don't leave, I'll leave! Dequan, come with me!" Ao Chenye was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and flew away whizzing away.
Ke'er couldn't react in time and could only stare blankly at his figure disappearing into the darkness...
Eunuch Dequan struggled in embarrassment. He really didn't want to obey the king's order this time. However, he still followed the habit of many years and hurriedly followed Ao Chenye's footsteps. He just looked back at her worriedly as he walked.
: "Miss Kerr, come in quickly. It's going to rain. It's very cold. Come in quickly!"
Ke'er seemed unable to hear, and just turned back quietly, as if his soul had withdrawn, without any reaction to their departure.
…
At the scene, only Ke'er was left alone, alone in the darkness, silent...
Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky, and raindrops began to patter on the pavement around her. The sound was chaotic, beating at her heart.
Very cold rain, heavy rain mixed with snowflakes, so cold...
But, why can she still feel... her heart is colder than the rain and snow...
The heat condensed in the eyes slid down along with the falling rain.
The rain was pattering on the ground, the wind was blowing the surrounding bushes, the sound of rain, the sound of wind, the sound of falling plum trees...
Ke'er looked around the invisible environment and cried out in fear, but no one heard her cry.
Raising her hands to wipe the rain off her face, she looked at the direction Ao Chen Ye left with tearful eyes again, sobbed, and ran towards the house. At least there was some candlelight there, which was on.
She was afraid of the thundering darkness, very afraid...
However, just as she ran closer, all the candlelight in the room suddenly went out, and the last bit of light disappeared from her eyes.
Looking in from the gate, the house was pitch black. Ke'er was stunned and stood outside the gate, letting the raindrops hit him, but he never dared to go near the house again.
"Wuwuwu... don't... Ao Chenye, where are you, wuwuwu..."
The black color almost swallowed her up. In the heavy rain, she didn't know where to go. Even though she knew he was far away, she still couldn't call out his name by herself.
Because... here she can only call him by his name, she is the only one...
"Rumble..." The sound of thunder in her ears shocked her fragile heart over and over again.
Covering her ears, not wanting to hear the scary thunder, she dared not move in the darkness.
Her delicate skin was still sore from the raindrops despite her wet clothes. The coldness hit her so hard that her teeth chattered and her body shivered in the wind and rain...
She didn't know how much time passed, but she could only cry in a daze in the rain, and could only... bear the torture of the roar alone.
"You stupid woman, won't you go inside when it rains?"
A familiar voice penetrated her ears despite the rain. It was Ao Chenye's voice!
Ke'er put down the hands covering her ears and turned around eagerly to look back. In the dark rain curtain, Ao Chenye was standing in front of her, soaked to the skin, glaring at her angrily.
"Ao Chenye..." Ke'er couldn't believe her eyes. Seeing him standing right in front of her, she wanted to run over, hug him tightly and cry, crying out of fear.
