Chapter 462: When I love you, you are a treasure; when I don't love you, you are a piece of trash

Minister Qiao smiled kindly. He used to be completely indifferent to his daughter, but now he was extremely gentle.

There seemed to be spring water flowing in his eyes, making Qiao Yihuan feel strange and scared.

It’s like an evil ghost, like being stared at by an evil ghost!

How could it be? Why is my father here?

When she came, she was really happy that the prince was willing to see her. When the guard said that the prince was meeting an important person, she didn't take it to heart.

After all, His Highness is of noble status and is temporarily the regent, so it is normal for him to be busy with state affairs.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that the important person His Highness was meeting was his father.

Minister Qiao asked, "What's wrong? Your father is asking you a question, why are you just standing there without answering?"

Qiao Wanyan was also a little surprised, but she was not like Qiao Yihuan, who froze in place, at a loss, as if someone was strangling her throat.

She walked over and asked, "Why is Daddy here?"

He Zhiyu had been controlling himself from looking at Qiao Wanyan since she came in, but the moment she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but look at her.

His vision was obscure, but no one's attention was on him, and no one could see his emotions being revealed at the moment.

"I need to report the affairs of state to His Highness. Why are you two sisters here? I was a little surprised to hear the guards come to report."

Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "My sister suddenly ran away from home, and I followed her because I was a little worried. I think my sister doesn't want to get married, so she wants to ask Your Highness for help, but this is a marriage granted by the Emperor, and I'm afraid that my sister will do something wrong in a moment of confusion."

Qiao Yihuan shook off her hand. Qiao Wanyan was startled and looked at her with a look of surprise and innocence.

Qiao Yihuan said, "Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you alone! It concerns Dayu, so please ask your attendants to leave."

Qiao Wanyan's gaze slowly moved upwards, meeting He Zhiyu's gaze.

Their eyes met, and He Zhiyu did not look away.

Minister Qiao looked at the scene in front of him without any expression.

Qiao Yihuan also noticed it. She followed his gaze and glanced at Qiao Wanyan. Her heart suddenly felt as if it was pricked by a needle.

“Your Highness!”

She raised her voice, calling Tsuru Chiyu's attention back.

Minister Qiao was not in a hurry when he saw this. He just walked to Qiao Wanyan and said, "Yanyan, since your sister has something important to say to His Highness, let's go out and wait."

Qiao Wanyan was a little worried, and after meeting Minister Qiao's gaze, she followed him out.

Seeing how calm he was, Qiao Yihuan felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart. Did he know that she had accidentally entered the secret room when she went to the study?

He probably didn't know. I didn't reveal any clues yesterday. Even Qiao Wanyan didn't notice anything unusual and didn't suspect me. There was no way my father could know.

If he had known, he would have come to find me when I returned home last night. I would not have been able to spend it so peacefully.

Today, perhaps it was just my father's affairs in the court that needed to be discussed with Your Highness, and I was overthinking it.

The door of the study was closed from the outside, and Qiao Yihuan felt a little sad when he looked at He Zhiyu.

In the past, His Highness would smile gently whenever he saw me, but now all of that has been ruined by Qiao Wanyan.

"Your Highness." Qiao Yihuan said gently.

He Zhiyu sat down and said, "You can tell me what you want to say."

The tone was neither hot nor cold, but it sounded extremely cold to Qiao Yihuan's ears.

"I want to ask you, Your Highness. Why did you turn a blind eye when you saw me tied up in a carriage at the back door of the Qiao family that day? Your Highness should have seen my situation, why didn't you help me? Didn't you say before that you would always protect me?"

He Zhiyu said calmly: "You once told me that you wanted to find a quiet place to live in the future, away from the capital and never come back. Why should I stop you from doing what you want? Or was what you told me that day just a lie?"

Qiao Yihuan was stunned for a moment. When did she say such a thing?

He Zhiyu saw her confusion and said, "You seem to have been through too much stimulation and have forgotten some of the things you said before. You were forced off the cliff by Li Hansong and I placed you in the East Palace. Before you left the East Palace, you told me in person that you would leave the capital and never come back."

Qiao Yihuan froze in place, her eyes felt sore and this time she really couldn't control her tears, which filled her eyes and blurred her vision.

"How can you say that, Your Highness?"

These words were choked with sobs.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten the oath you made to me? Your Highness, have you forgotten your previous preference and protection for me?"

Qiao Yihuan's mind got heated and she raised her voice to question, "You clearly know in your heart that those words were not what I meant. I just wanted you to notice how helpless I am and how much I have been wronged!"

"You were so good to me before, but what happened later? You started paying attention to Qiao Wanyan, you started to be mean to me and blame me for her, and you started to focus on her and look for opportunities to see her."

Qiao Yihuan covered her chest, "What about me? You clearly said that you would love me forever and stay with me forever!!!"

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Qiao Wanyan has done so many evil things, and you said she is just arrogant and willful, and not a bad person. I just did one thing wrong, and you sentenced me to death and gradually became indifferent to me."

"Why give me hope if you can't always love me?"

He Zhiyu's jade-like and golden face showed no emotion, he just looked at her quietly and calmly.

It's like looking at a hysterical mad woman.

The scent of ambergris mixed with pine lingered in the study. It was a scent that should make people concentrate and calm down, but now it was like an ignition lock, causing Qiao Yihuan to suddenly sneer.

"Why don't you have any expression at all? You think I'm crazy, right?"

"You were born to love me and protect me. This is your destiny! You are wrong. You are wrong!!!"

He Zhiyu asked: "Is this the important thing you want to tell me about Dayu?"

All the resentment that had been accumulating in my heart for a long time burst out at this moment, and I hysterically questioned the other party why he had changed his mind.

But what he got was just an extremely cold and calm reaction from the other party.

Anyone would go crazy if it were anyone else.

The wide black and gold-woven sleeves fell on the agarwood couch, and He Zhiyu's long eyelashes were half-closed, casting shadows over his eyes.

"I fell in love with you at first sight when I saw you for the first time. It was an indescribable feeling, as if fate had guided me to be happy just by seeing you, and to sacrifice everything to love you."

Yi Huansheng is pretty, but her looks can only be considered upper-middle class in Beijing.

In terms of talent and background, she is not the best.

Apart from her overly weak and tearful nature, there was nothing else noteworthy about her.

But unfortunately, I love her madly.

"I never thought much about it before, but then I suddenly began to doubt myself, wondering if my love for you was real or arranged by someone else."

Qiao Yihuan was stunned for a moment.

He Zhiyu's tone remained calm, "One day, I suddenly understood."

Even though it's incredible, even though it's absurd and bizarre.

"Liu Yanran, let me make you start to be unrealistic."
