"I know, it's alright, Yun'er, don't feel guilty or worry." Yu Jingchen's tone was gentle, and the way he coaxed Nan Zhiyun was as if he were coaxing a little girl of a few years old. No... even a little girl of a few years old might not receive the same treatment as Nan Zhiyun.
Nan Zhiyun didn't seem relaxed at all after hearing Yu Jingchen's words, but... she did look at Gu Yin beside her, just as Gu Yin was looking over. The two exchanged a glance, but it was only for a moment before Nan Zhiyun looked away. His... his eyes were very deep, as if they could suck people in.
Yu Jingchen clearly saw Nan Zhiyun's little actions and was immediately displeased. Now that Nan Zhiyun was involved, he no longer had the time to waste with Gu Yin, so he immediately gave her the order to leave: "If the Imperial Preceptor has nothing else to do, he can leave."
But Gu Yin wouldn't have it. He parted his lips slightly, speaking to Yu Jingchen, but his gaze never left Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun didn't dare look at him; being stared at like that felt like being stared at by a wild beast, sending chills down her spine.
Yu Jingchen noticed this, and he pulled Nan Zhiyun closer to his chest, then gently pressed her head down, drawing her close to him and hiding her from Gu Yin's invasive gaze.
"What is the Imperial Advisor doing?" Yu Jingchen's tone was icy cold, even colder than before.
"Your Majesty summoned me here today, wasn't it just to seek peace of mind? Now I'm telling you very clearly... you'll never have peace of mind in this lifetime..." Gu Yin's eyes suddenly turned terrifying, the corners of his eyes slightly reddening, sending chills down one's spine.
Yu Jingchen felt a slight tightness in his heart at those words, not for any other reason than...
"Just those two sentences, and the Imperial Advisor is so confident. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave this room today?" Yu Jingchen had already begun to show his murderous intent.
"The reason Your Majesty summoned me here is because you trust my abilities, right? So does Your Majesty still believe me now? However... it's not up to you to doubt me. Your Majesty has forgotten that everyone in the world thinks I am the Son of Heaven. What makes you think I deserve such a title?" Gu Yin smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Yu Jingchen tightened his grip on Nan Zhiyun's arms slightly. If it were any other matter, it wouldn't matter, but this concerned Nan Zhiyun, so how could he feel at ease? How could he ask her to take any risks?
"Your Majesty... I'm happy to play along with you. Why don't you see whether I, the Imperial Advisor, am more capable, or you, the Emperor, who is the most esteemed ruler?" Gu Yin's eyes were increasingly bloodshot, and his tone sent chills down one's spine.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense, and Nan Zhiyun felt cold even in Yu Jingchen's arms. Perhaps sensing the fear in the little girl's heart, Yu Jingchen didn't want to drag things out any longer.
"Fortunately, we escorted the Imperial Advisor away!" This was the first time Yu Jingchen had suffered a setback since taking power.
Fortunately, Gu Yin didn't dare to delay. Luckily, Gu Yin didn't want to cause a complete disaster at this time, so he didn't continue the fight. When he saw this evil spirit off, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had never thought that the Imperial Advisor had such a terrifying side, as if he had become the Emperor himself.
Once the room was empty, Yu Jingchen released the little girl from his arms: "Alright, hmm? Did Yun'er hide well just now?" Yu Jingchen's tone was very relaxed, trying to ease the tension and not put too much psychological pressure on the little girl.
"Alright, it's okay now, don't be scared, okay?" Yu Jingchen bent down to look at the little girl's current appearance, but the little girl still seemed a little shy, and when he looked at her, she even hid to the side.
Yu Jingchen picked her up horizontally, and the little girl, startled, instinctively hugged his neck.
“That’s right, why is Xiaoyun’er so reserved?” Yu Jingchen chuckled, staring at the little girl in his arms with a doting expression.
Nan Zhiyun seemed a little embarrassed, and now they were really too close. Because of the height difference, when Yu Jingchen spoke to her, his breath penetrated her eardrums, making Nan Zhiyun's whole face turn red.
“Xiao Yun’er can’t keep doing this, or I’ll scare you, understand?” Yu Jingchen said meaningfully, but Nan Zhiyun clearly understood.
Compared to her this morning, Nan Zhiyun is not as sensitive now, and she won't be flustered by a few words, but... she is still blushing.
Yu Jingchen carried the little darling to the side, then sat down himself, and let Nan Zhiyun sit on his lap.
"Hungry? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen reached out and naturally touched her stomach.
"I feel your softness when I touch it, you must be hungry. Your stomach is protesting, why don't you say so?" Yu Jingchen cupped Nan Zhiyun's face and rubbed it for a while.
Nan Zhiyun didn't dare to resist, but her face was full of displeasure: "Your face will get bigger..." Her voice was practically indistinguishable from a mosquito's buzz.
Yu Jingchen found her sudden remark somewhat amusing. What was wrong with this little girl? Why was she talking about these things with him now? But it was actually a good sign.
"It's gotten bigger, so it's gotten bigger. Even if it's gotten bigger, it still looks good. I want it too, hmm?" Yu Jingchen was doing it on purpose, deliberately seducing Nan Zhiyun. He was only resorting to seduction because his soft and gentle persuasion wasn't working.
Nan Zhiyun couldn't stand it, and her face immediately turned red. Yu Jingchen joked about it, "I used to think of Xiaoyun as soft and tender, but I don't think that way anymore." Yu Jingchen suddenly changed the subject, and Nan Zhiyun's interest was piqued.
