"By the way, miss, did you know that the princess is getting married soon?!" Xi'er suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked me.
I was startled, could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to force the marriage? What the Queen Mother said that day suddenly flashed in my mind...
"Is it fifteen?!" I asked quickly. Calculating carefully, there were only eight days left.
Xi'er tilted her head and stared at me for a long time. After a long time, she replied uncertainly: "I heard from Chunxiang and the others that we will get married in two days. The date has been moved up!"
"Does Prince Jade know that?!" I quickly interrupted, keeping my eyes on Xi'er.
"You probably don't know. They said that the emperor and the queen mother wanted to make a show of their ways first and announce the prince's date on the 15th." Xi'er's eyes widened and she looked at me inexplicably. She didn't know why I was so excited.
"Damn, how despicable!" I uttered a word through gritted teeth. The Queen Mother is indeed an old fox, and she wants to use this method to force Yan Chen to marry Ruojun. As for Meng Zihan, alas... He will always be like this, unscrupulous!
"Miss, you look ugly." Xi'er kept staring at me, puzzled at the changes on my face, sometimes frowning, sometimes biting her lower lip.
"I'm fine." I replied calmly, my mind was in confusion, whether I could help or not, but now that I couldn't protect myself, how should I help?!
I stood up helplessly, walked to the window sill, and looked out the window. Suddenly I caught sight of two strange shadows in the backyard. I couldn't help but asked curiously: "Xier, why have I never seen those two people outside?
! Could it be that they are new here?!" I poked my head out slightly and gradually saw the two shadows clearly. They turned out to be two guards.
"Uh... it's... the emperor sent him today, saying it was to protect your safety." Xi'er hesitated for a while, and she knew in her heart that telling the young lady would make her feel uncomfortable.
"Protecting my safety? What a joke, when did he care about me so much?! I think he sent someone to monitor me, right?!" I glanced outside coldly, then closed the window impatiently.
Look at Xi'er.
"Xi'er, let's go, I want to see what their intentions are!" I quickly put on some clothes, took Xi'er's hand, and walked straight in the direction of the two figures.
"Miss..." Xi'er flinched a little and looked at me timidly.
"What are you afraid of?! They don't know how to eat people!" I glanced at her displeased, what a worthless girl!
After saying that, I puffed up my chest, grabbed Xi'er's arm and rushed out without even looking at the two door gods.
"Your Majesty, please stay." A guard on the left suddenly stood in front of me with a very humble attitude.
"What are you doing? Don't you have eyes? Do you dare to stop the Aijia?" I widened my eyes and pretended to be angry.
"I don't dare. Your Majesty's words are serious." The guard lowered his head and suddenly continued: "It's just that the Emperor has an order, and your Majesty cannot leave Chenhuan Palace for the time being."
Damn it, you really want to put me under house arrest! I tilted my head, turned to glare at him angrily, and said displeased: "What if the Ai family wants to go out?"
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are also ordered to do things. I hope you will not make it difficult for me." The guard still lowered his head, his attitude was very respectful, but his tone was quite firm.
I glanced at him impatiently, and what he said made sense. He was just a guard, just doing things under orders. There was no need for me to make it difficult for him. Thinking of this, my tone immediately softened, and I asked instead: "What's wrong with me?"
How long will it take for the family to go out?"
"I will return to you in three days," the guard replied honestly.
Damn man, you are so cruel. Three days later? Humph, you are afraid that I will ruin Ruojun’s marriage?!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. My face instantly turned pale. I stamped my feet angrily and walked back.
"Miss, don't be angry, miss..." Xi'er followed behind and kept shouting, but it couldn't dispel the anger in my heart.
I was so angry! He actually put me under house arrest?! Are there still human rights in this world?! I almost flew into a rage, slammed the door, and sat down on the bed.
"Miss..." Xi'er looked at me at a loss, trying to comfort me but not knowing what to say, not even comforting me.
"You go out first. I want to stay quietly for a while and calm down. By the way, if anyone comes, just say that I am not feeling well. Does he want to put me under house arrest? Very good, I won't see anyone. The emperor is here, too.
Say I don't see him!" I was so angry that I couldn't speak incoherently. What this stinky man did was really incredible.
"Miss, I'm afraid this is not good?!" Xi'er looked at me timidly, hesitating.
"It's nothing good. Damn it, just tell him that!" This damn girl is deliberately trying to piss me off. Why were women in ancient times so timid?!
After finally sending Xi'er away, I sat on the bed blankly, thinking about it, but I really couldn't think of a way. At this time, I really wished I could learn Qinggong.
Thinking about it carefully, I can't help but feel a little worried. I'm lying if I say I'm not worried about Yan Chen. With his swagger and straightforward character, I'm really afraid that Meng Zihan will do something unimaginable in anger.
But, I paused, quietly opened the window a little, and looked outside. I saw that the two guards from the morning were still there, motionless.
I looked at the sky and saw that it was almost getting dark. It seemed that I had to wait until dark before I could have a glimmer of hope.
Time passed by, and I leaned on the bed blankly, looking at the Western watch that Meng Zihan gave me by the bedside, wishing that the shortest needle could move faster.
"Miss, it's time for dinner." Xi'er's soft voice sounded outside.
"If you don't want to eat, I said no one is allowed to come in." I yelled impatiently outside, grabbed the watch on the bed and looked at it. At half past six, it seemed that it was time to take action.
I waited quietly for a while, watching the sky outside gradually getting darker, and then I stood up with confidence, changed into some inconspicuous clothes, tiptoed, and was about to go out.
Before I could open the door, suddenly, a big hand knocked heavily on my right shoulder. I was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, and saw the familiar face of Yan Chen appearing in front of me.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" I rubbed my eyes vigorously and looked at the person in front of me in disbelief.
"Silly woman, you are not dreaming, where are you going?!" Yan Chen pinched my cheek in a funny way and asked lovingly.
"But," I still glanced out the window uneasily, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "How did you get in?"
"There, did you forget that I know martial arts?!" Yan Chen stared at me funny and pointed at the window with his slender fingers.
"By the way, you know that you are going to get married to Ruojun in three days, right?" I avoided his fiery gaze and then got to the point.
Yan Chen was suddenly startled, his thick black brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were very surprised, and he said in confusion: "Three days from now? I heard it's fifteen."
"This is how despicable they are. They want to kill you first and tell you later, forcing you to get married to Ruojun without you being prepared." I looked at him with my eyes and told the truth calmly.
"Damn it, these ancients are so abominable." Yi Chen hammered the wall hard, his face turning purple with anger.
"What are you going to do?" I frowned, glanced at his red hand with concern, and said lightly.
Yan Chen's eyes were suddenly filled with helplessness and pain, his thin lips were pressed together tightly, showing a very desperate expression, his voice was hoarse and sad: "Can we leave here together? I can't bear this damn ancient time.
It doesn’t work.” After saying that, he stretched out his long arms and hugged me deeply.
I was suddenly shocked. The only rationality left in my mind told me that I had to push him away. Now, our situation can even be said to be besieged on all sides. No one knows if there is another pair of invisible eyes in the darkness.
Watching us.
"Yichen, are you crazy?! Let me go, do you know it's dangerous for you like this?!" I pushed him away with all my strength, tried my best to restrain the excitement in my heart, and kept my voice very low.
"I'm not crazy, I can't stand it anymore, Yan..." Yan Chen shook my arm vigorously, shouting hoarsely, like an angry leopard, suddenly let go of me, clasped the back of my head with one hand, and kissed her hot lips
He leaned straight forward, pressed my lips hard, bit my lips repeatedly, and held my waist tightly with his left hand, as if he wanted to integrate me into his body.
…
Xiyue Palace
"Ruoyu, Ruoyu." Meng Zihan strode in, his eyes searching for that familiar figure.
"I have seen the emperor." Wen Ruoyu did not come out, but Xiaohong came out.
Meng Zihan frowned his handsome eyebrows, glanced at her, and looked around. There was no one there. For some reason, he always felt that Xiyue Palace was cold and unpopular. Sometimes, it even made him feel scary.
"Where is your master?" A cold voice echoed in the vast palace.
"Back to the emperor, your Majesty went to the queen's place and hasn't come back yet." Xiao Hong glanced at Meng Zihan quietly and her tone was very calm.
What was she going to do with the Queen? Meng Zihan was startled and felt a little strange. Then he thought about it and was worried that something would happen. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go and have a look.
