That night I wrote a letter asking for help to my father, telling him that I had been poisoned by someone. Although there was no danger to my life, if I didn't detoxify in time, I might not be able to shake hands with him in the future.
Xia Yan took my letter and read it for a while, then regretted, "If your father sees this letter, I'm afraid he will be unable to sleep at night!"
I looked at him puzzled.
"Poor parents in the world, if he loves you so much, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. Do you want to see him like this?" Xia Yan looked sideways at me and asked.
I was stunned and blurted out: "I don't want to!"
"Since this is already the case, why bother worrying your loved ones anymore? Are you right?"
Tear...the letter turned into pieces in Xia Yan's hands.
Seeing that the letter I spent half a note of incense on was destroyed so easily by Xia Yan, I wasn't angry at all. Instead, I felt I owed him even more.
------Dividing line------
My birthday is approaching, and the palace is very busy. As a king, I am no better than them. Envoys from the five countries have come one after another, and my free time is occupied by these envoys. When I was free, I suddenly remembered,
I haven't seen Xia Yan for two days.
Hmm...I really miss him a little bit.
After finishing what I was doing, I hurried back to Panlong Palace, only to find that the palace was empty and Xia Yan was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's the beautiful lady?" I turned around and asked.
Xiao Junzi quickly replied: "Today King Rui sent someone to invite the beautiful lady to enjoy the flowers together!"
Shenma? Rui Xueji invited Xia Yan alone?
"Why didn't you inform me?" I asked angrily.
Xiao Junzi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said pitifully: "It's your beauty's order. There is no need to alarm the king!"
"Where did they go?"
"Went to...the Royal Garden!"
I came to the Royal Garden alone without any guards. Deep in the seaweed, I saw two figures sitting on a stone bench talking.
I wanted to go straight, but I heard Rui Xueji's cold and mocking tone: "As for appearance, there are so many concubines in the harem, which one is not more outstanding than you? But Xia Yan has a soft spot for you, it is really enviable!"
Xia Yan said to Rui Xueji: "I think what a woman is most proud of is not how beautiful she is, but how many women her man will reject for her! King Rui, what do you think?"
I quickly retracted my step and found a denser crabapple tree to hide in.
Rui Xueji sneered and said, "Do you know why Xia Yan rejected Gu?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to know either!"
Well done Xia Yan, I applauded him in the dark. These words made my blood boil. Rui Xueji is the most arrogant woman I have ever seen, but Xia Yan at this time is even more arrogant than her.
When two equally matched people come together, they will naturally compete.
Rui Xueji's face changed slightly, and she continued to sneer: "Your temper is somewhat similar to mine!"
"Prince Rui is joking. Changting is the princess of the princess, how can he be compared with Prince Rui!"
"Xia Yan likes you probably only because of your temper!"
Xia Yan raised his head, his eyes clear: "How did King Rui know that the king likes his concubine's temperament?"
Rui Xueji said with a confident look: "If this were not the case, how could you have caught his eye?"
"Whether or not you are worthy of the King's attention is not determined by your temper!" Xia Yan fought back with all his strength, looking at Rui Xueji with leisurely eyes!
