Chapter 187: Even Scarier Than a Ghost

Forget it, since she made such a choice, she must have her reasons. Why should he be so entangled?

Truth will come to light sooner or later, and he will always get to the bottom of the matter.

"If you don't say anything, I will take it as Miss Yun's consent."

Yun Wanyao: “???”

no?

What did she agree to? Before she could figure it out, her body suddenly flew into the air and she was lifted up high.

Yun Wanyao couldn't pretend any longer, and immediately opened her eyes, looking at him in horror and panic, her voice thick with tears.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let me down..."

After this incident, she finally understood what the emperor meant by tacit consent. But, didn't he say before that he would help her to rest? How did it become a hug? The girl in his arms was like a frightened rabbit, exuding an uneasy aura all over her body, but she didn't dare to move.

Mo Yuanlin raised the corner of his lips and walked towards the inner hall with steady steps. His dark eyes looked ahead and his low voice contained a hint of subtle ridicule.

"Ms. Yun sobered up so quickly?"

"No, I'm still drunk..."

She replied hurriedly, and then suddenly realized something. She quickly covered her mouth with both hands and looked at him with horror.

Oh no, has she been exposed?

It must be exposed, right?

If the emperor knew that she was pretending to be drunk, would he punish her for deceiving the emperor? No, no, no, this is not the point. The point is, if the emperor knew that she was pretending to be drunk, wouldn't he know that she was deliberately seducing him? And she can no longer take it for granted that the blame was on the wine? The crime of seduction, the crime of deceiving the emperor, multiple crimes, now, even if my father and my little sister come, they can't save her, right? It's over...

Yun Wanyao's eyes widened, her heart filled with panic.

Seeing her so flustered, Mo Yuanlin frowned, raised his legs and walked towards the inner hall with steady steps.

"Well, since you are drunk, you must be walking unsteadily, so don't move. I will carry you to rest."

Yun Wanyao: “???”

Wait, this seemed different from what she had imagined. Not only did the emperor not punish her, he also said such caring words to her.

Didn't he see that she was pretending to be drunk?

Did you see it?

If he could see it, why didn't he expose her?

If you didn’t see it…

No, no, no, the emperor would surely not fail to see it. How stupid does he have to be to not see such an obvious thing?

If she was really that stupid, how could she govern the country and handle state affairs? So, he saw it, but for some reason he didn't expose her.

After realizing this, Yun Wanyao didn't know whether she should be happy or worried. Her heart was filled with complicated feelings and her mind was in a mess.

Before she could form any thoughts, something soft suddenly touched her back.

Yun Wanyao came back to her senses immediately and looked around, only to find that he had carried her to the bedside without her noticing, and put her on the large, soft rosewood bed carved with gold.

This is the bed of Fenghua Palace...

The girl's pupils trembled and she became panic-stricken.

"emperor……"

She spoke anxiously, quickly grabbing the clothes on his chest, trying to use his strength to get up.

"Um."

He stood on the ground, slightly bent over, his hands still on her back and knees, still hugging her.

Hearing her calling him, he raised his eyelids and looked down at her. His black eyes were like the abyss, dark and gloomy, bottomless, as if they could devour people's souls.

Yun Wanyao's breathing stagnated slightly. She stared at him blankly, almost losing herself in thought.

"how?"

He raised his eyebrows, his throat rolled, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse.

Yun Wanyao's ears trembled and her heartbeat lost rhythm again.

Swallowing involuntarily, she said hurriedly, "Um, your servant, your servant is not sleepy, no need to rest..."

She wanted to go down.

Now all of this was too dangerous, and it filled her whole body with uneasiness.

"Also, it's getting late. I should go home now. Otherwise, my parents will worry."

She looked away and added nervously.

This damn Yun Wanye, why hasn't she come back yet? Is he really planning to sell her out?

Never mind, she will borrow a guard from the emperor and go back by herself. As for Yun Wanye, he can come back or not.

"If we go back now, won't Miss Yun return empty-handed?"

Mo Yuanlin pulled his hands out, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and trapped her in the bed.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Her pupils suddenly shrank, and all the nerves in her body tensed up. She looked extremely nervous, as if facing a great enemy.

Mo Yuanlin curled the corners of his lips slightly, placed his fingers on her chin, gently lifted her face, and forced her to look at him.

Then, he ruthlessly exposed all her disguises.

"Didn't Miss Yun come here to seduce me?"

boom……

As if struck by lightning, Yun Wanyao widened her eyes and stared at him in a daze. Her mind went blank and she almost lost the ability to think.

After a moment, she came back to her senses, and couldn't help feeling ashamed of being caught doing something bad.

Sure enough, the emperor saw everything.

Damn Yun Wanye, I’m really going to be killed by him this time.

Yun Wanyao felt ashamed and terrified. The next moment, she knelt in front of him tremblingly and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please forgive me this time..."

Fortunately, on the way to the palace, she had practiced the lines of begging for mercy countless times in her mind, so now she could beg for mercy so fluently.

Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of stuttering I would become now.

Looking at the girl kneeling in front of him, Mo Yuanlin's eyes moved slightly. He reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her hard into his arms.

Yun Wanyao's body swayed and she was pulled into his arms. She was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly tried to get up, but was held down by a big hand.

"Don't move."

His voice was low and gentle, without the slightest hint of coldness or hostility, but Yun Wanyao seemed to be frightened. Her body immediately became quiet and she dared not move.

He was very satisfied to see that she was so obedient.

"If you want me to forgive you this time, it's not impossible, but you have to tell me why you suddenly wanted to seduce me."

“…”

Yun Wanyao bit her lip. If she said it was for two thousand taels of silver, would the emperor chop her to death?

No, no, if she really said that, wouldn't that mean she was exposing Yun Wanye? Although this guy had deceived her and cheated her, and had harmed her to such an extent, and although she had threatened him before entering the palace that if anything happened, she would drag him down with her...

But, he was her twin brother after all, and she only said those harsh words casually, and she would never really betray him.

So, why not...

Yun Wanyao's eyes moved. Since her little trick had been seen through by the emperor, she might as well take this opportunity to make a big move.

"Really? As long as I tell you the reason, Your Majesty will forgive me this time?"

"Don't joke."

"Okay, I believe Your Majesty. When I entered the palace today, I did intend to seduce Your Majesty~"

When she mentioned the words "deliberate seduction", Yun Wanyao couldn't help feeling ashamed again. Fortunately, she took a breath and said it out in one go.

"The reason is that I have something to ask of you."

"What is it?"

Mo Yuanlin narrowed his eyes. He wanted to hear what was worth her making such a big sacrifice.

It's not that simple. If it's an ordinary matter, she can just go to her father. Why would she need to go to him?

"Your servant, I wish to cancel my engagement with the King of Qi..."

After saying this, Yun Wanyao felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and her body and mind were in a state of extreme tension.

Unable to confess to Izumo Wanye, she had to find another reasonable excuse.

And Mo Yuanhao seems to be a good excuse.

She lowered her head and didn't notice at all that after hearing these words, he was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly changed, with many emotions such as astonishment and surprise flashing across his face.

"Why? Don't you like him?"

He heard his voice seemed to be trembling, a little abnormally, but she didn't notice anything unusual.

Yun Wanyao didn't know how to answer this question.

Those plots are too absurd and bizarre to be told to outsiders.

Besides, the plot is so broken now, even if you tell outsiders, no one will believe it.

But when the emperor asked her a question, she had no choice but to answer.

After thinking about it carefully, Yun Wanyao finally came up with an explanation that was more in line with her actual thoughts.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Your Majesty, the engagement between me and the King of Qi was made by the late Emperor seven years ago. At that time, I was only seven years old. At this age, how could I understand what love or dislike is?"

"After the engagement was signed, the relationship between this minister and the King of Qi became closer. Even if there was so-called love between us, it was established under the constraints of the engagement."

Perhaps, she only liked her fiancé, not necessarily the King of Qi.

That person could be the King of Qi, or any other man of equal status.

She just wanted to be the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion who abided by the rules and treated her future husband wholeheartedly.

However, God was unwilling to give her this opportunity. Her fiancé, whom she treated sincerely, was the male master of this world and the husband of another woman.

If she persists in pestering him, she will not get any sympathy from him, but will only cause the tragic death of her family and turn herself into a hideous and pitiful creature.

What's the point of this?

It was wrong for her to break off the engagement without telling the King of Qi, but so what? In the plot, after the King of Qi had a night of entanglement with his destined heroine, did he ever tell her?

Yun Wanye was right. Now he had not done anything to let her down, not because he loved her so much, but because of the appearance of his younger sister, who had forcibly stopped all this.

"But now, I have grown up, and I no longer want to be bound by the engagement from my childhood. So, I want to try and see if I will still like the King of Qi after the engagement is cancelled."

"This engagement was made by the late emperor. If you want to cancel it, only the emperor can do it in this world."

"That is why I resorted to this desperate measure. Your Majesty, I have told you everything. Please help me with this matter."

As I said, it is not easy to cancel her engagement with Mo Yuanhao.

Therefore, she did not expect that the emperor would really agree to help.

This was originally an excuse she made up to divert the emperor's attention in order to cover up Yun Wanye's heinous crimes.

Yun Wanyao thought that the emperor would be very angry when he heard her brazenly proposing to cancel the engagement arranged by the late emperor.

She had even prepared herself to endure the emperor's wrath, but unexpectedly, his attitude once again exceeded her expectations.

He was not angry at all, but said in a somewhat intriguing voice, "Have you told the King of Qi about your intention to cancel the engagement?"

Hearing this, Yun Wanyao was slightly startled, then shook her head.

This was a sudden idea of ​​hers, so how could she have had time to tell the King of Qi about it? Before this, she had no courage to mention this matter to the King of Qi, and she didn't even dare to think about canceling the engagement.

Tonight was really, really crazy. She did many things that she would never dare to think about on a normal day.

For example, like now, lying in the emperor's arms...

When this thought came to her mind, Yun Wanyao's heart began to beat wildly again. She couldn't tell whether she was panicking or embarrassed.

This was the first time she was so intimate with a man.

She knew that this was wrong and should not happen, but that man was the emperor. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. Not only did he not push her away, he also didn't allow her to move.

Now, she still had the crime of seduction that had not been pardoned, so how could she dare to make up another crime of disobeying the emperor's order? "That means the King of Qi doesn't know that Miss Yun wants to cancel the engagement?"

"Well, I don't know."

Yun Wanyao nodded.

"Oh……"

Mo Yuanlin laughed and said, "This is a bit difficult to handle. If I forcibly issue an order to cancel your engagement, the King of Qi will definitely be very angry."

"He won't do anything to me, but as for Miss Yun, it's hard to say."

"The King of Qi is not very generous. If Miss Yun dumps him without saying anything, he will probably do a lot of things secretly."

"In the future, looking across the entire Gaojing, I'm afraid no young man would dare to marry Miss Yun again."

Hearing this, Yun Wanyao's eyes suddenly widened, and she said in shock, "Your Majesty means that I, no, no, no, the engagement between this subject and the King of Qi can be cancelled?"

Seeing her like this, Mo Yuanlin raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Even if you're married, you can get a divorce. It's just an engagement. If you really want to cancel it, you can do so."

"Duke Ning has fought bravely for the Great Wu Kingdom and made countless contributions. I am not an unreasonable person, so how could I embarrass his beloved daughter?"

"But, Miss Yun, have you really thought it through? Do you really want to cancel the engagement? As long as Miss Yun nods, I can issue an order now."

Is it really that simple?

It was so simple that it was completely beyond her understanding.

Yun Wanyao hesitated for only a moment, then nodded without hesitation.

"I have made up my mind. I want to cancel the engagement."

Whether for the sake of the princess and Yun Wanye, or to completely break the plot and change the fate of her and her family, this engagement must be cancelled.

She didn't want to be like her aunt, who ended up in such a miserable situation because of a momentary love affair.

I also don't want to be in fear all day after marriage, guarding against Su Qianxue like a thief, and I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the plot.

If Mo Yuanhao still loves her deeply after the engagement is cancelled, then she can make plans.

But she felt that this was impossible.

Not to mention that Mo Yuanhao didn't love her that much at all, his self-esteem as the King of Qi would not allow him to chase her without dignity after being abandoned.

Therefore, once this engagement is cancelled, she and him will be completely done with each other.

That's fine.

"Okay, I'll issue the order now."

Outside Fenghua Palace, the night was deep.

Yun Wanye, who had escaped under the pretext of peeing, covered his pounding heart with his hands, his mind filled with the scenes he had secretly seen.

Things went perfectly according to his plan, but he was completely confused. After calming down for a moment, he quickly left the palace and rushed to the Ningguo Mansion at lightning speed using his Qinggong skills.

It took him less than a cup of tea to travel the distance of more than twenty miles.

In the night, his figure was like a ghost.

The guards on night patrol saw a figure rushing in and thought that a thief had broken into the mansion, so they drew their weapons and prepared to capture the man.

"It's the Second Young Master."

Suddenly, someone recognized him and shouted. The guards were slightly stunned, put away their weapons and greeted him.

"Second Young Master!"

Yun Wanye waved his hand casually, and without saying a word, he used his lightness skills to flash towards the study in the main courtyard.

The candlelight in the study was bright, and Yun Zheng was still working at his desk.

"father……"

Yun Wanye shouted hurriedly and rushed in quickly.

He was so fast that the guards outside the door didn't even have time to stop him before he appeared in the study.

"It's so late, what's the hurry for you? Did you see a ghost?"

Yun Zheng raised his head, glanced at him indifferently, and spoke in displeasure.

This kid is so old, but why is he still so impetuous? He really can't control himself.

When will this kid become more mature and stable?

"Dad, this is scarier than seeing a ghost, really."

Yun Wanye took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. The next moment, he took the whip from the wall, put his hands in front of him, and knelt on his knees in front of Yun Zheng with a plop.

"I am guilty, Dad. Please punish me."
