"I can't do it, I can't do it...ah!" Eunuch Dequan finally panicked, but he didn't even have a chance to persuade her. When he saw Princess Yang Xi rushing towards the doorpost fiercely, he shouted in fright.
Just when everyone was frightened by such a sudden situation and wanted to stop it, a golden light suddenly rolled out from it. Everyone felt a gust of wind passing by, and then they saw Ao Chenye's figure flashing with the golden light.
In front of the goalpost...
Impartially, he was blocking the goalpost, and Yang Xi ran straight into him.
Before she could be hurt by the impact, Ao Chenye held her shoulders in time to reduce the impact.
"Yang Xi, what are you doing?!"
Seeing that she didn't cherish her own life so much, Ao Chenye frowned, and there was a hint of displeasure in her voice.
"Brother Ye, you're finally out!" Yang Xi raised her eyes and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Then she threw herself into his arms aggrievedly and hugged his waist tightly, as if she would lose him if she let go.
He is average.
However, Ao Chenye pushed her away forcefully and looked at her seriously.
"Yang Xi, do you know that what you just did was very immature? If you can't keep calm like this, how will you be able to control the entire harem in the future?"
How could the mother of the Tenglong Kingdom do such impulsive behavior that would harm the country?
Even if he loves and protects her now, he cannot rebuke her, otherwise she will not be able to convince others in the future.
He glanced at the guards nearby without missing a trace, and did not miss the dissatisfaction with Yang Xi that they tried their best to conceal but could not hide.
Yang Xi didn't expect that after finally coming out, he would be so harsh on her.
She shed tears in grievance: "Brother Ye, I did it all for you."
She couldn't accept his rational criticism of her behavior. She did all this for him. How could he... not understand her heart so well and still... reprimand her in front of so many slaves.
She glanced at the people next to her from the corner of her eye and saw their expressions of obvious disdain for her, and she felt faintly annoyed in her heart.
Looking at her tearful eyes filled with grievances and her fragile and hurt eyes seemed to touch a certain place in his heart, and the sudden reluctance made him unable to say any more reproachful words.
Pursing his thin lips, he said to Leng Yun: "You continue to stay here."
Then, he whispered to Yang Xi: "Let's go in first and talk."
Yang Xi immediately tightened her arms and held him still.
"Brother Ye, the auspicious time is coming soon, why don't we... go to the main hall?"
As a woman, she was a little aggrieved and embarrassed to speak out.
Ao Chenye looked at her with a hint of toughness in his eyes, and repeated softly: "Yang Xi, let's talk after we go in, okay?"
Seeing his uncompromising look, Yang Xi knew that nothing she could say would make him sway.
Their marriage...will all her efforts be in vain?
Could it be that... Ao Chenxiao released the love elixir in his body, so...
Brother Ye came to find her to accuse her?!
Thinking of this possibility, her heart beat wildly, and she could no longer think about getting engaged.
I could only follow him in silently. Along the way, the anxiety in my heart became more and more intense.
Several times, she lost the courage to face it and wanted to escape.
…
Just like that, amidst her doubts and uneasiness, Ao Chenye took her to the side hall.
When she stood in the dim side hall, she didn't even realize that there were only two of them in the place where Ao Chenye brought her, and no one else was seen.
It wasn't until Ao Chenye flicked his fingers that a golden light passed by her cheek and hit the candlestick. The room suddenly lit up and she realized where she was.
After looking at the environment, she said somewhat unexpectedly: "Brother Ye, what are you..."
Brother Ye didn't take her to see Ao Chenxiao, didn't go looking for Ao Chenxiao to confront her, does that mean... he still doesn't know anything?
Or was he just thinking about the friendship between the two countries and leaving some room for her?
One suspicion after another made her uneasiness more intense.
"Yang Xi..."
Ao Chen wanted to speak at night, but Yang Xi felt her head was heating up and she reached out to cover his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Then, she slightly lowered her eyelids to hide any emotions that might reveal the truth in her eyes.
Trying to hide the panic in her heart, Princess Yang Xi pulled Ao Chenye, who was silent but confused, to sit down on the chair and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Brother Ye, I heard that you have been busy healing Miss Ker's injuries. Is it because her... injuries are very serious, so you think our engagement should not be a bloody disaster."
Yang Xi thought of this topic when she was panicking, so she took the lead in speaking out, indirectly trying to find the safest topic for herself.
Listening to her words, Ao Chenye's eyes shrank.
But...he did hurt her very badly.
Turning his eyes and looking at the sloshing cup of tea on the table, his eyebrows frowned unconsciously.
He didn't reach for the tea, and his handsome face was tense and tense, as if he was thinking about something very serious.
Afterwards, as Yang Xi waited with bated breath for what he would say, he finally picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
Then, he put down the tea cup and gathered his thoughts at the same time.
He raised his eyes, looked at her for a moment, and asked seriously: "Yang Xi, when Ke'er wanted to kill you tonight, did you notice that Xing Mo did anything strange towards Ke'er?"
In fact, after everything was settled, he gradually calmly thought about Ke'er's sudden killing of Yang Xi.
Her murderous intention was so weird that even if Ke'er was jealous of Yang Xi, it would be impossible for her to do anything bad to Yang Xi in front of him under normal circumstances.
When women compete for favor, they are competing for a man like him. How could they be stupid enough to do mischief in front of him?
Moreover, what made him even more suspicious of Xing Mo was that Ke'er had been controlled by a curse before and was unable to control herself and hurt people everywhere.
Since Xing Mo will attack Ke'er once, it is entirely possible that he will attack Ke'er a second time.
He could clearly see Xing Mo's love for Yang Xi. Perhaps, in order to fulfill the woman he loved, Xing Mo resorted to tricks to harm Ke'er.
If love can make a person become so great and completely give up everything, Xing Mo might do that.
While he was thinking, Yang Xi was so shocked by his question that his pulse almost stopped.
Did Brother Ye find out?
She opened and closed her mouth in a panic, too nervous to answer anything.
Faced with Ao Chenye's depth, she was still relatively immature after all.
Therefore, her straight eyes, which were clearly shocked, and the unconcealable panic on her face, did not escape Ao Chenye's keen eyes.
"Yang Xi, I hope you will tell me the truth."
He spoke bluntly, his deep black eyes looking at her sharply.
Before Princess Yang Xi could put down the teapot she was carrying, her hands trembled so much that she dropped the teapot. The tea spilled on the table, immediately flowed to the edge of the table, dripped to the ground, and landed on her instep, burning her a little.
"Ah!" Princess Yang Xi felt the pain on her instep and jumped, finally recovering from the shock.
She looked at Ao Chenye with trembling eyes, and his sharp gaze almost made her feet weak.
The uncontrollable tension caused her throat to constrict, making her almost speechless.
She opened and closed her mouth several times, but she couldn't say a word.
We can't let Brother Ye know that she knows everything about that matter, absolutely not!
Strong belief suddenly burst out, slightly stabilizing her trembling.
Princess Yang Xi gasped secretly, mustering up all her courage, and her eyes instantly met his sharp eyes with a look of grievance.
"Brother Ye, I don't know if the second brother did anything to Miss Ke'er. At that time, I was so scared that I couldn't see anything clearly. Brother Ye, do you think I can still be so calm when my life is threatened?"
Are you observing others? Yang Xi is just a weak woman, Yang Xi really can’t do what Brother Ye wants, I’m sorry.”
Her mind began to spin, thinking about the best words to say, her voice was plaintive and tactful, her eyes were aggrieved and filled with tears, and she stared at him pitifully.
Brother Ye would ask this, it must mean that Brother Ye may have discovered something, or maybe he just has suspicions. The smart way is not to admit anything and pretend not to know anything.
However, pretending to be wronged also requires skill!
Her pitiful apology caused Ao Chenye's sharp black eyes to flash a trace of turmoil.
He was almost convinced by her pitiful expression.
However, his sensitivity over the years allowed him to temporarily suppress the pity for her in his heart.
Just now he clearly saw her panicking because of his question.
His dark eyes flashed with wisdom, staring straight at her, not missing any expression on her face, and said seriously - "I'm asking if Xing Mo has anything wrong with Ke'er. Don't put those things into question."
There are many things involved, what I want to hear is between you and Xing Mo!"
At the end of the sentence, his voice was a little sharp, indicating that the answer he wanted at this moment could not be transferred.
Princess Yang Xi closed her eyes sadly, took a few steps back with red eyes, and looked at him sadly.
"Brother Ye, you are always like this. As long as Bai Keer is involved, you will be soft-hearted and unable to make a move! Even our engagement tonight, you can give up for her, are you...still attached to her?
For her, if so, as long as you live a good life and live happily, I am willing to... make it happen for you!"
Her words were filled with sharp accusations and even more intense pain. Her tear-streaked eyes perfectly interpreted her deep love that she would give up everything in order to love him.
Seeing her sad expression and aggrieved accusation, Ao Chenye felt as if something was biting her heart, causing pain like tearing. The pain was madly roaring at him to stop asking her about things that made her sad.
