Only two people were left in the empty hall, which was silent, deserted, and inexplicably weird.
"I don't allow you to come home at night, and you actually make me disappear?" Qiongying stood up and walked towards him step by step.
"Master, I..." Ye Chen finally raised his head to look at her. At that moment, he was shocked. Such a person cannot help but shock people.
Seeing her figure getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but look into her eyes, and he couldn't say any more.
Her eyes were bottomless, so cold that there was no warmth at the moment. They were deep and sharp, as if she wanted to see through him. Suddenly, she felt inexplicably that all the lies would be exposed in front of her, so there was no need for him to continue talking.
Qiongying came to him, stared at him for a moment, frowned slightly, and remained silent.
Ye Chen let her stare at him, his calm face expressionless, as indifferent as ever. However, at this moment, a trace of inquiry and doubt flashed through Shen's eyes.
"Tell me, how should I punish you?" Qiongying looked at him unscrupulously and said with a half-smile.
"Let the master punish you." Ye Chen said obediently without any emotion.
"Very good, just stand and don't move." Her tone was as cold and charming as before, and she slowly approached him, passed him, and came to behind him.
Ye Chen stood motionless, looking ahead silently, feeling the strange yet inexplicably familiar Leng Mei behind him. He actually felt a little nervous. What was she going to do?
Cold fingertips passed through his hair and slowly pushed it aside. The black hair was scattered on his shoulders like satin, revealing the slightly bluish-white back of his neck.
There is a mark on the right side of the back of the neck, which seems to be growing out of the skin. It seems to be outlined with bloodshot threads, which is lifelike, and his painting skills can be seen.
It was painted with her blood and is unique.
Ye Chen's pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body stiffened. The cold touch was her fingertips. For some reason, he was afraid of her doing this.
Qiongying retracted her hand and let her hair fall. With a stern expression, she stopped looking at him and walked towards the main seat.
Ye Chen looked at her back. He could feel that she was unhappy. No, she had never been happy. It must be because her breath was getting colder.
"Go down." Qiongying said calmly.
"Yes, Master." There was a trace of inquiry in Ye Chen's eyes. Why didn't she ask him where he had been for the past ten days? After a pause, he could only leave the hall without waiting for her to turn around.
As his footsteps faded away, she was the only one left in the hall, looking at the sky outside the hall, which was cloudy.
…………
Soon, the news that Ye Chen had returned spread throughout the palace, but it did not relieve the depression in the palace.
After Ye Chen left the palace, he wandered under the big tree not far from the door.
After a while, Caiyi came out of the palace and saw Ye Chen there. She thought to herself that it was good that Ye Chen was back, but the Lord didn't seem very happy, so he kept Ye Chen for a while and then let him go back.
"Master Yechen, why are you here?" Caiyi went over to ask. The Lord always told the truth. Does Yechen still need to see you?
"Is there any snow water in the palace?" Ye Chen asked.
"Snow water? For making tea?" Cai Yi smiled. As long as Mr. Ye Chen is around, they don't need to make tea. The Lord has always asked Ye Chen to make tea. They also asked Ye Chen for advice on how to make tea.
.
"Yes." Ye Chen hesitated and said.
"How can there be no snow water in the palace? It's just hidden in the cellar." Caiyi said. The snow water was stored just last month. It's only early spring now and there will be some leftover until next year.
