Yu Jinxi was stunned. She looked at Yanhuai slowly, her eyes full of indescribable shock, "Do you know...what are you talking about?"
"Know."
Yanhuai answered simply, with a firm look on his face, without any hesitation.
Yu Jinxi felt panicked for no reason, and stood up in a hurry, almost losing his balance.
Yanhuai subconsciously wanted to help her, but the moment he stood up, he met her eyes.
Yu Jinxi's heart tightened, she took a deep breath to calm down quickly, and then said, "Yan Xiaosi, I'm married, I can protect myself."
"Similarly, considering our past friendship, I also hope you can protect yourself."
Yanhuai stared at her, unwilling to let her go for the first time, and asked directly, "The past relationship? What kind of relationship?"
Yu Jinxi was stared at by him and swallowed subconsciously.
"We...we have known each other since we were young. Our parents are close friends, and you and I are the same. I don't want to see you in danger. I made it very clear to you last time. The emperor is afraid of the Yu family, and even more afraid of the Yu family. You and uncle, don’t get involved with me, let alone get involved with the third prince openly.”
"I have made it very clear, why do you need to get involved with Mr. Qi? Even if Mr. Qi is talented in sophistry, as long as the emperor is suspicious, his smooth words are of no use."
As she said that, Yu Jinxi became anxious, and she didn't care that her head would fall off if she heard even a single word of what she said. She just wanted to persuade Yanhuai not to continue acting like this.
Especially for her, it's not worth it.
Yanhuai is not alone, but also his family and the future of the 100,000-strong army.
People's hearts are easy to win, but military morale is hard to buy. Once Uncle Yan's army of 100,000 people changes hands, their lives will be slim. As long as they are suspicious, they become an eyesore, not a mountain to defend against the enemy.
It's not worth dragging so many people into trouble just for her alone.
At this time, Yanhuai slowly approached her and said in a low voice, "Father taught me not to forget the kindness of the Yu family. You are the only apple of my uncle and aunt's eyes, so of course I have to protect you.
"What's more, I remember how you married Gu Qiheng. At first, I thought it was just because you liked Gu Qiheng. Since you have been swallowing your anger, why should I tolerate so much?"
"Feast for the fourth mistress..."
He was too close, and Yu Jinxi subconsciously stepped back.
"Jinxi, I just want you to be well. Everyone who has been sorry to you... should die!"
Yan Huai's voice was full of hostility, and his unabashed look made Yu Jinxi's heart beat with fear. She subconsciously wanted to escape, but found that she had already been trapped in a corner by him from which she could not escape.
Facing his fiery eyes, Yu Jinxi was stunned. After a moment of recovery, he stammered, "But I...I've already been married, so it's not worth it..."
"worth!"
Yanhuai's unhesitating tone made Yu Jinxi's eyes turn red. She was not a three-year-old child, let alone a piece of wood who didn't know a little about style.
She saw that Yanhuai had hidden feelings for her for a long time, and all the tit-for-tat confrontations in the past appeared in her mind. Although she was angry and disgusted, she never hated him.
And he just used the shell of mutual dislike to hide his true purpose.
She had never thought about this level before, and now it was laid out so directly in front of her. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to react.
But she knew very well that his words of "it's worth it" made her feel warmer.
Yanhuai was very aware of the consequences of his actions, but he still protected her at all costs and paved a smooth road for her in the thorny bush.
She was moved, surprised, scared, and even more ashamed, she couldn't explain clearly.
Yu Jinxi was silent for a while, and then called him, "Fan Xiaosi!"
"I'm here!" Yanhuai's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Yu Jinxi said word for word, "If time can be reshaped and we go back to the time when we were still unmarried, I will go with you even if it means death."
"Jinxi!"
Yanhuai heard that there was something wrong in her voice, and wanted to stop her from continuing, but Yu Jinxi jumped in and said, "But I am married, and it is the marriage granted by His Majesty's golden words, and there will be no possibility between you and me. You understand ?"
After saying that, Yu Jinxi moved away from him, but he grabbed his arm.
He said with red eyes, "Jinxi, I just want to protect you, not force you."
"What are you going to do to protect me? If you really risk so many lives, I will feel so guilty that I would rather die than live. It would be better to die."
Yu Jinxi held back her tears and said, "I will protect myself, so as I said before, you and I will go our separate ways and do our own thing. Don't drag you down, let alone me."
After saying that, she took off his arm and walked toward the door.
The moment I opened the door, the cold wind hit my face.
Yu Jinxi felt that his heart was as cold as the wind.
As soon as she stepped out, Qingti immediately greeted her, "Miss..."
"Go back!" Yu Jinxi lowered her voice as much as possible, not wanting others to see her emotions.
Qingfeng felt something was wrong, "Miss Yu..."
"Keep an eye on your county prince."
After Yu Jinxi finished speaking, he walked away without giving Qingfeng a chance to ask further questions.
Qingfeng watched Yu Jinxi leave, and then immediately entered the house, only to see that his prince had already drank the cold wine alone, holding the bottle up and filling it directly.
"Prince, did Miss Yu have an argument with you again?" Qingfeng took the hot wine on the side and replaced the cold wine in Yanhuai's hand.
Yanhuai shook his head, "Not this time!"
Qingfeng was a little surprised, "Then it was you who offended Miss Yu this time?"
Yanhuai looked up at him, his fair face became even more attractive with a hint of camel red due to drinking, and he narrowed his eyes slightly with a hint of light.
"Do you believe it? We didn't offend anyone, but we parted ways."
Whisper softly, just a statement, not angry.
Qingfeng was even more surprised. The prince and Miss Yu had never been together, so how could they go their separate ways?
"Your Majesty, Miss Yu is married after all. You and she should really stay away from each other. This capital is full of gossips. If rumors really spread, Miss Yu will be the one who suffers."
Qingfeng persuaded Yanhuai earnestly once again, originally wanting Yanhuai to listen, but when Yanhuai heard this, he thought of what Yu Jinxi had said.
"If we are not married, we will go with him even if it means death!"
He was just one step away from losing everything.
Yanhuai stood up suddenly and overturned the tablecloth in front of him with one hand, and the things on it shattered to pieces on the floor.
His scarlet eyes stared at Qingfeng, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with marrying someone else? Who dares to speak against her? This county king wants him to die!"
Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down in front of Yanhuai to plead guilty, "I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, the prince!"
Yanhuai didn't care about him, his mind was filled with Yu Jinxi's words.
Part ways?
impossible!
Whoever stops him from marrying her in this life will be killed!
