In a short time, Concubine Dong handed her over more than a dozen gold hairpins, steps, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Ye Chanyi put them all into the space bracelet.
"Um...can I leave now?"
Concubine Dong then asked cautiously.
Ye Chanyi waved his hand at him.
As if she had been granted amnesty, Concubine Dong hurriedly turned around and was about to run for her life. Who would have thought that as soon as she took a step forward, she was stopped by Ye Chanyi again.
"etc!"
Concubine Dong was like a frightened bird, her body trembled with fright, and she turned back to face Ye Chanyi, her eyes full of fear and wariness.
Ye Chanyi unconsciously raised the corners of her lips when she saw that Concubine Dong was so afraid of her.
"Just now in the Yangxin Hall, I proposed to the emperor that I want to terminate my engagement with Xiao Lianting, but the emperor rejected it. Just imagine, if I marry Xiao Lianting, I will be his princess, and you and I will never see each other again. How many years do you think you have left to live?”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Dong shivered with fright, her face instantly turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I will try my best to persuade Ting'er to terminate the engagement."
Ye Chanyi raised his eyebrows, with a horrified aura around him, and sneered coldly: "I don't want Xiao Lianting to simply terminate the engagement."
Concubine Dong was startled for a moment and said hurriedly: "Then what else do you want?"
Ye Chanyi sneered and said word for word: "What I want is for Xiao Lianting to write a letter of guilt in person, and for him to admit with his own lips that he and Ye Qingyan were secretly giving and receiving, secretly living in obscurity, having bad conduct, and knowing that he was not worthy of being me. Ye Chanyi's husband therefore voluntarily terminated the engagement, and since then we have had nothing to do with each other."
"Ye Chanyi, don't push yourself too far, you're going too far!"
When Concubine Dong heard this, her face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and her eyes were full of anger.
His courtier will be enthroned as emperor in the future, and there must be no stain on her body. If she writes this letter of guilt, there will be no trace of imperial prestige in the future.
Seeing Concubine Dong's reaction so fiercely, Ye Chanyi was not surprised.
Concubine Dong wanted Xiao Lianting to sit on the throne, so she naturally had to preserve her reputation.
She said this not to ask for the mother and son's consent, but to issue an ultimatum.
Ye Chanyi curled her lips disdainfully and smiled contemptuously at Concubine Dong, "I have said what needs to be said, you can take care of yourself."
Seeing that Ye Chanyi's attitude was tough and there was no room for change, Concubine Dong's eyes flashed with malice and she left without saying a word.
"I and Dean Ye hit it off immediately. I originally wanted to invite Dean Ye to Kunning Palace to sit for a while. Unexpectedly, someone is already waiting for you. Dean Ye must remember to go to my place next time."
Queen Jiang looked at Ye Chanyi, smiled meaningfully, and then raised her chin in the direction behind Ye Chanyi.
After Ye Chanyi turned around, she saw Xiao Yunhan coming towards her in a wheelchair.
In the backlight, his whole body was covered with a soft halo, and his handsome face seemed to be dreamy and blurry. The sunlight flickered and jumped behind him, like an immortal who had descended into the world and gone through calamities.
An Shuo pushed his master to Ye Chanyi. Xiao Yunhan glanced deeply at Ye Chanyi.
Queen Jiang glanced at Xiao Yunhan's expression and suddenly showed a knowing smile.
Her melon-eating look was so obvious that it was difficult for Xiao Yunhan not to notice.
Xiao Yunhan coughed twice and said, "How is the emperor's sister-in-law doing lately?"
"It's the same as before. The emperor's brother rarely comes to the palace, but this time it's strange!"
As Queen Jiang spoke, she winked in Ye Chanyi's direction.
Xiao Yunhan smiled faintly and pretended not to understand.
Empress Jiang did not reveal anything, and immediately said hello to Xiao Yunhan and Ye Chanyi, then left wisely.
"Why are you here?" Ye Chanyi asked suspiciously when he saw Xiao Yunhan suddenly appearing.
On the way into the palace, Xiao Yunhan told her that she hadn't been in the palace for a long time and wanted to visit the palace where his mother and concubine lived.
Xiao Yunhan's mother-in-law was Concubine Zhen. Shortly after Xiao Yunhan's accident four years ago, Concubine Zhen passed away. Since then, Xiao Yunhan has almost always entered the palace to commemorate Concubine Zhen.
Xiao Yunhan chuckled and said: "Since you call me 'Little Emperor Uncle', I will pick you up before leaving the palace, otherwise you want to go back on foot?"
Hearing this, Ye Chanyi smiled. If someone offered to give her a ride, she would naturally appreciate it.
"Then it's Uncle Lao."
When we arrived at the palace gate, the carriage had been waiting for a long time. After Xiao Yunhan and Ye Chanyi got into the car, An Shuo drove slowly.
After entering the carriage, Ye Chanyi was attracted by the elegant and refreshing fragrance, and finally discovered that the fragrance came from a plate of light green plum blossom-shaped pastries on the table.
After spending a lot of time in the palace, it was long past lunch time. Ye Chanyi, who was already hungry, started to make an inappropriate noise in the Five Zang Temple.
Xiao Yunhan noticed that Ye Chanyi had been staring at the pastries on the table since he entered the carriage, and he couldn't help but have a doting smile on his face.
"Since you call me 'Little Emperor Uncle', I can't starve you. I guess you didn't have time to eat in the palace, so when I was preparing the sacrifices in my mother's palace just now, I deliberately made more Got some pastries.”
Ye Chanyi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "So these pastries were made by you yourself?"
"Yeah, it just came out of the cage not long ago, it's still very fresh."
Xiao Yunhan paused and said with a slight smile: "My concubine used to like to make this kind of cake for me. I remember when I was young, whenever I was sick or unhappy, my concubine would make this kind of cake to comfort me."
When Xiao Yunhan spoke, his voice was very soft, like a gentle breeze, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes recalling the past.
Ye Chanyi saw this, and felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.
In the past, she only had countless assassination missions in her life, so she didn't need any emotional ties in her world.
Over time, she seemed to no longer know how to comfort others.
"Well, why are you in a daze?"
Xiao Yunhan, who was withdrawn from his memories, suddenly noticed Ye Chanyi who was a little distracted.
He picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Ye Chanyi.
The light green pastry sets off the white, slender, well-jointed palms, which is really beautiful.
Ye Chanyi stared blankly, and a very appropriate word suddenly came to his mind, "It's beautiful and delicious."
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that my skills are too poor, or that I've been poisoned?"
Seeing that Ye Chanyi had not taken the cake for a long time, Xiao Yunhan couldn't help but tease.
Ye Chanyi curled her lips and said, "Since the little emperor uncle made it himself, I naturally want to have a taste."
Then, she took the pastry, took a bite with the intention of giving it a try, and chewed it for a long time, but she didn't say a word.
Xiao Yunhan asked expectantly: "How does it taste?"
Ye Chanyi frowned and said nothing.
