Chapter 2048 [Shang Xie]
While pouring tea, she casually withdrew her gaze, but it swept across the candied fruit placed aside. She narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly and imperceptibly reached out to grab a handful of candied fruit, and shook it a few times above the teapot. The snow-white icing sugar sprinkled into the tea and melted away in the blink of an eye.
She silently put down the candied fruit, covered the pot, turned around with the wooden tray and walked towards Xia Fuyi with a smile.

"This is the fruit tea that was recently sent as tribute from Jiangnan. It won't affect your sleep. You'll definitely sleep better after drinking it."
Fu Yan placed the teacup in front of Xia Fuyi, held the handle of the pot and began to pour tea.
The sound of water echoed softly in the night.
Under the dim light, Xia Fuyi lowered her head and stared at the teacup in silence.
There was more and more water in the cup, reflecting her dark and deep eyes, and the gentle smile on the corners of Fu Yan's lips as she lowered her brows and head.
A faint fruity aroma overflowed from the cup and reached Xia Fuyi's nose.
She watched indifferently as the cup filled with water. Then Fu Yan stopped and put the teapot back on the table - but the moment she stopped, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
It was a very cold hand, and it almost made her shiver when it clasped her wrist.
The teapot shook violently for several times before it finally stabilized.
Fu Yan looked at Xia Fuyi who suddenly grabbed her, and slowly forced a stiff smile.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xia Fuyi didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and looked at the water in the teacup in silence, but her hands were shackled on her like steel, and she didn't move.
Cold sweat began to appear on Fu Yan's back. She swallowed her saliva and forced a smile.
"Don't you want fruit tea? I'll change it for you."
As she said this, she tried to break free and take the teacup, but her hand was shaken off without warning the next moment.
The teapot in his hand flew far away and broke into pieces when it hit the wall. The scalding tea soaked the floor and gave off a faint fruity aroma.
Fu Yan was completely stunned.
As fear spread from the bottom of her heart, her mind was filled with almost crazy doubts and self-comfort.
Did she find out?
How did she find out?
How could she possibly have discovered it! Those Xuanyi Guards had been searching for ages and couldn't find it! How could she have discovered it?!!!!
No, no, no, no, that's impossible. I must have scared myself. She's just in a bad mood and going crazy! That's right! It must be like this...
The crazy screaming in my head had not yet finished when Xia Fuyi in front of me stood up.
She was dressed in white, and under the light, she looked as cold as the pale moonlight, making people feel a chill when they touched her.
Fu Yan began to tremble unconsciously, and her laughter was stiff and forced, sounding extremely distorted.
"You, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
Xia Fuyi looked at her as if she didn't hear anything.
After a long time, he whispered,
"You really disappoint me."
Her face was expressionless, showing no disappointment at all, but her pupils were extremely deep, as if she was accumulating a lot of unknown low emotions.
"I really wanted to be friends with you."
"I have no friends, and we didn't spend much time together when my only sister was alive. I originally thought that you must be a very good person, as you were willing to risk your life to come to Zichen Palace every night to tell him stories, and you were also willing to risk your life to save me."
Miss Xia looked at the trembling palace maid in front of her, her pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with huge disappointment.
"I want to learn to start making friends with good people."
"But it turns out that you wanted to harm me."
