"To see Fei Yan?" Liu Lieyu's deep voice paused for a moment, then he asked, "What does she want with Fei Yan?"
"I do not know."
Liu Lieyu remained silent for a long time, seemingly deep in thought. "If she wants to see him, call Fei Yan over."
Yes! I never expected that Liu Lieyu would happen to do something that makes me happy.
"Come back. What were you doing there?"
"Reporting to the Eastern Emperor, I will go and fetch Lord Fei Yan!"
"No need today, just ask Fei Yan to come another day."
Damn it! Another day! Another day! I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly.
When I heard Liu Lieyu call for Fei Yan to open the door, I quickly and quietly slipped back to my bed, closed my eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
I heard the door open, followed by Liu Lieyu's footsteps approaching me. Although I didn't open my eyes, I felt a strong gaze upon me.
"Stop pretending, I know you're not asleep."
I could hear Liu Lieyu's voice, but I still didn't open my eyes.
"Hmm? Still not awake?" Liu Lieyu snorted.
I closed my eyes and felt the warm breath on my face. If I wasn't mistaken, it must be Liu Lieyu.
Honestly, if it were You who did this to me, I would feel both shy and happy. However, knowing that it was Liu Lieyu's face in front of me, I dared not open my eyes. I was afraid that if I opened my eyes, I would see a huge snake head in front of me.
Then I'm afraid I'll end up like Xu Xian, who saw the true form of the White Snake, and my soul will return to the underworld.
"Not waking up?" The heat was getting closer and closer to me. I could feel Liu Lieyu's lips touching mine. Instinctively, I opened my eyes and pushed Liu Lieyu away from me.
Liu Lieyu looked at me with an unfriendly expression.
I swallowed hard and looked away from Liu Lieyu.
I try to avoid provoking Liu Lieyu, lest he anger him and do something crazy.
"I heard you want to see Fei Yan?" Liu Lieyu's calm voice came from behind.
I nodded mechanically.
"Why would you want to see her?" Liu Lieyu pulled my hand over and stroked the tip of my index finger.
"It's been a long time, let's catch up."
"Reminiscing?" Liu Lieyu sneered. "You're probably just plotting to harm me, aren't you?"
"How could that be!" I retorted excitedly. Liu Lieyu stared at me with a smile, and I felt a little guilty under his gaze. I stammered, "If you don't trust me, don't you trust Fei Yan? She's been your subordinate for many years."
Liu Lieyu looked at me with a deep gaze, "Even you would betray me? What about others?"
I was speechless after being confronted. If someone doesn't believe you, nothing you say will make a difference.
Liu Lieyu also noticed the heavy atmosphere. He lowered his head and softened his expression, showing a rare moment of mercy. "Are you bored staying here? Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Yes!" I nodded without hesitation. Of course I should go out if I can. I should go out and scout out the terrain so that I won't get lost when it's time to run away.
"Okay, I'll have someone come and do your makeup."
Actually, Liu Lieyu didn't even need to call out; the person who had been serving him closely overheard the message and relayed it on Liu Lieyu's behalf.
Before long, four or five maids came in and surrounded me.
I first took a bath, and then they dressed me. I estimated that this whole process would take at least an hour.
"Your Majesty, do you like this hairstyle?"
Without even glancing at it, I said, "It looks good, just like that."
At a time like this, I had no time to care about my hairstyle; all I could think about was how to escape and what You was doing.
