Jiang Shuyue is usually good at handling things fairly, but these past few days, she seems to have lost that ability.
That day, Jiang Shuyue had just returned from outside when she noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was not quite right. After asking around, she learned that Ye Hui and Bai Qingyuan had a conflict.
Although Ye Hui usually appears cold and aloof, he rarely gets into conflicts with others.
"What happened?"
"It was Steward Bai who changed the incense to help you relax and sleep, and also prepared some food for you, but Lord Ye wouldn't allow it... so the two of them started arguing."
Jiang Shuyue was a little curious, and really couldn't imagine what Ye Hui would be like when he started arguing.
Even if you always have a long face, you still get into arguments?
Upon returning to the main hall, they saw the two facing off in battle. Ye Hui remained aloof, while Bai Qingyuan stood nervously to the side.
The food was laid out on the table, and it looked like it had just been served.
What happened?
Bai Qingyuan wanted to say something, but after glancing at Ye Hui opposite him, he ultimately remained silent.
Jiang Shuyue feigned confusion and asked, "The dishes look a little different today. Did you change chefs?"
Bai Qingyuan immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, today's meal... was prepared by me."
"You made this? You can cook?"
Jiang Shuyue glanced at the table again, and to be honest, it looked really well done.
"Your Highness, how about... you try some?"
"good."
Just as they sat down to start eating, Ye Hui rushed over and snatched the chopsticks away.
"Your Highness..."
"Tsk, Ye Hui, do you have any manners? Do you want to get a beating again? Get out."
Ye Hui looked at Jiang Shuyue in disbelief, remaining motionless for a long time.
Jiang Shuyue's face darkened: "I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
"go out!"
This was the first time Jiang Shuyue had ever lost her temper with Ye Hui.
Bai Qingyuan quickly stepped forward to appease him: "Your Highness, please calm down. Lord Ye is only concerned about you."
"He's been spoiled by me all these years. Let's eat, don't worry about him."
Bai Qingyuan wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Hui walk straight out of the palace gate, he whispered, "Your Highness, Lord Ye..."
"Alright, I can't let you down. Let's eat together."
Bai Qingyuan hesitated, but ultimately remained silent.
After Ye Hui finished receiving his punishment and returned to the palace gate, laughter could still be heard from inside from time to time, which made the eunuchs waiting outside unable to bear it any longer.
"Lord Ye, you have served His Highness for many years. How can you be outshone by someone who has only been here for a few months? Lord Ye, if this continues, how will His Highness ever have any respect for you?"
Ye Hui remained silent, gave him a cold look, and then looked into the distance while holding his sword.
"Lord Ye, you are His Highness's favorite. His Highness relies on you for everything. Now, it seems that there will be no longer a place for you by His Highness's side."
"roll."
The eunuch looked embarrassed and stopped talking.
Ye Hui didn't see Jiang Shuyue again that day. It wasn't until evening that Bai Qingyuan came out to deliver a message that Jiang Shuyue told him to go back and rest.
Ye Hui said nothing and turned to leave.
Ye Hui's residence was not far from the main hall, but he walked very slowly along the way, and blood scabs could still be seen on his palm as he gripped the sword.
He stopped just as he reached the door, his brow furrowing slightly; someone was inside.
Reaching out and pushing open the door, I saw Jiang Shuyue sitting at the table, leisurely drinking tea.
"What are you standing there for? Come in."
Ye Hui stepped into the house, and Jiang Shuyue pouted, "Close the door."
"Does Your Highness have something to say?"
Jiang Shuyue stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Are you angry?"
"Your subordinate dares not."
"Don't dare? I think you're quite bold, you even dare to give me attitude."
Ye Hui lowered his head and remained silent.
"How old are you? Why are you still holding a grudge? Bai Qingyuan is just trying to be kind, why do you always pick on him?"
Ye Hui's mood, which had been improving, plummeted the moment he heard Bai Qingyuan's name.
"Your Highness, is this all you've come to say today?"
"Of course not, I'm just here to comfort you."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and took his hand. Ye Hui was startled and quickly pulled his hand away, taking a few steps back.
"Your Highness!"
"What? You won't let me touch you now? You don't... have someone you like, do you?"
No.
"If you don't have one, why don't you look at me? Am I not good-looking?"
"Your Highness has the appearance of an immortal, so naturally you are beautiful."
Jiang Shuyue wasn't angry. Instead, she looked like she suddenly understood: "I get it now. I'm beautiful, as beautiful as a celestial being, but you just don't like me, right?"
He sighed and said, "Fine, forced love is never sweet, and I don't need you."
After saying that, he opened the door and was about to leave.
Get some rest.
Although she was rejected, Jiang Shuyue had a smile on her lips, and you couldn't tell that she was heartbroken at all.
The next day, Jiang Shuyue had people waiting at Ye Hui's door early in the morning, so that as soon as Ye Hui came out, she could convey her orders.
"Lord Ye, His Highness has issued a decree."
Ye Hui knelt down to receive the imperial decree, but the young eunuch quickly stopped him, saying, "His Highness said that it's enough for Lord Ye to have read it."
He handed over the imperial edict and bowed respectfully.
Ye Hui unfolded the folded document in his hand, and with just one glance, his pupils trembled, his face turned pale instantly, his eyes became empty, and he froze there as if lost in thought.
The young eunuch couldn't bear it and said, "Lord Ye, His Highness has instructed you to pack your bags immediately and leave now."
The young eunuch sighed. Even Lord Ye, who always had a stern face, had moments of panic.
