Countless nightmare-like fragments surged in like a tidal wave, making Xia Yunxian tremble all over.
She really didn't understand that she couldn't get rid of him in her previous life, but now, she just wanted to cooperate with him as an equal.
But why after going round and round, the two of them are still so inseparable!
"Bai Yujing, I really want to kill you with my own hands. Not all women in the world have to be your playthings!"
This thought had grown in her heart countless times, and she almost lost control at this moment. He was a madman!
Bai Yujing was slightly confused, "If you hate me so much, why do you need to detoxify me? Obviously as long as the things are returned, everything will be cleared after I let Liu Chengshan go."
Yes, it's obvious that things can be cleared up, but after five years of watching him die suddenly, all the hatred will disappear.
His eyes became darker and darker, filled with complexity and cruelty that frightened Xia Yunxian. This posture made it seem like he was the one being provoked!
Xia Yunxian avoided his sight unconsciously, and whispered something after a long time.
"I saved you because I owe you."
These words were extremely weak, but she clearly remembered that after she was thrown into the woodshed by Liu Chengyu like an abandoned child, a bloody secret guard appeared in front of her without warning and handed over a handkerchief.
He said that his master Bai Yujing was already dead, and he was holding on to something like this tightly before he died.
He also said that after the family was wiped out in the General Mansion, his master paid a huge price to protect her from being implicated.
Later, Xia Yunxian suddenly realized that there was no divine mercy that allowed her, the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, to live alone in the world.
It was nothing more than someone protecting her, but she never expected that it would be Bai Yujing!
This man had tortured her for so long, how could Xia Yunxian believe that before he died, he told his loyal subordinates to come and save her from the capital!
He seemed to know how Liu Chengyu would treat her after his death.
Xia Yunxian had too many questions, but unfortunately the secret guard was too seriously injured and died before he could answer!
The carriage fell into silence for a while, and Bai Yujing seemed not to hear clearly. At this time, the carriage had stopped not far from the Hou Mansion.
Xia Yunxian suddenly pushed him away and jumped down in confusion.
"Heartless little thing."
Looking at the figure who didn't even look back, Bai Yujing snorted dissatisfiedly, but his expression suddenly changed, and a mouthful of blood immediately spilled out of the corner of his mouth.
"Sir! What are you doing?" The driver who turned around was shocked and looked at Bai Yujing's clothes that were soaked with blood again, and couldn't help but said angrily.
"The Princess of Yongding was too harsh. You just finished your sentence and you rushed to the palace immediately when you heard that she was bullied..."
"I want you to talk too much!" Bai Yujing scolded, but a dark light filled his eyes.
…
Returning to his mansion, Xia Yunxian locked himself in the room and took out a drawing from under his pillow, his face regained its calmness and coldness.
What is drawn on the picture is the tiger-shaped iron piece that she returned to Bai Yujing that day.
Few people know what military exploits Liu Chengyu has accomplished, and this is regarded as a secret that cannot be told outside.
I originally wanted to pry out the information from that bastard, but Xia Yunxian was afraid of alerting the enemy.
She considered many possibilities in her mind. Did Bai Yujing protect her at that time because he felt ashamed of the Xia family, or because he had feelings for her?
Too many mysteries made her walk on thin ice, but Xia Yunxian knew it.
If both of them were related to their father's sacrifice, there was no way he would be merciful!
"What are you doing, Master, standing here?" At this moment, Chunxiao's alert voice sounded outside the house.
Liu Chengyu's face froze, and the suddenly opened door made him catch Xia Yunxian's guarded gaze before he was ready.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air, and he held it in for a long time before he lowered his face and spoke.
"The old princess's condition has really improved?"
Liu Chengyu didn't think she was at fault at all. She could do more, but it would be better to do less. She had to put the entire Liu family on the fire!
But later he figured out why Xia Yunxian had to step forward to treat the old princess.
She wanted to take the credit and force him to pamper her after gaining the respect of the old princess!
Everyone knows that Prince Pingnan is filial, and as long as the old princess is willing to speak a word for him, he will naturally be able to have smooth sailing in the court from now on!
"What are you still hesitating about? When she has a child, she will put you first in everything and be obedient to you!" Just now in the study room, Mrs. Liu's encouraging voice kept echoing in her ears.
Liu Chengyu looked at Xia Yunxian's little face so close to him, his heart beating like a drum.
Under the moonlight, her delicate face seemed to be coated with a layer of dreamy soft light, which made her look even more pure and beautiful. Her pool-like eyes contained a seductive magic power that could captivate the soul with just one glance.
Looking at her slender and graceful neck and her figure like a weak willow supporting the wind, in fact, such beauty would not wrong him.
Liu Chengyu unconsciously became distracted and had already forgotten about his promise to Jiang Ruyan.
He did this just to sacrifice himself for the future of the Hou Mansion!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if you miss, Yun Xian will not drag down the Hou Mansion."
Such a reaction made Liu Chengyu a little surprised. She thought that since there was no one around, she would cry and complain to him about her grievances and force him to bow his head and apologize, so she had already prepared a lot of coaxing words.
But he didn't expect his tone to be so alienated. If it had been anyone else, he would have known each other and left long ago.
But Liu Chengyu felt more and more dry in his throat, and instead decided that this was Xia Yunxian's way of refusing to welcome him.
"You and I, there is no need to be a burden. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to visit the old princess."
couple?
Xia Yunxian only felt it was a bit ridiculous. Seeing her looking up at him, Liu Chengyu's back couldn't help but stiffen a little. He pretended to mention it casually.
"The bedding in my study was wet by Wen Yao today."
"Your Majesty, just ask your servants to clean it. There is no need to ask my opinion."
"..." Did she really not understand or was she pretending not to understand?
After trying so hard to get him to change his mind, didn't he give her a chance?
Liu Chengyu took a deep breath and added with twinkling eyes, "It's cold at night, and the charcoal fire in my study is not enough. You are the Crown Princess, so naturally you have to take care of my husband's daily life!"
Having said it so straightforwardly, she might be grinning from ear to ear with joy now, right?
