I didn't dare linger outside and prepared to return to the palace.
I turned my head back and found You standing right in front of me.
"You, what brings you here?" I was pleasantly surprised, but mostly relieved.
You pulled my hand, her voice tinged with worry, "I sensed Wu coming to find you, so I came to find you. Are you alright?"
I shook my head. "I'm fine. Wu just said a few strange things to me."
You glanced at me again, only relaxing when she was sure I was alright.
"You, I'm sorry, you're already so busy and I'm just adding to your troubles."
"What are you talking about? What good will all this do if something happens to you?"
I still feel a little guilty. If I had stayed in the palace all the time, I wouldn't have met Wule, and I wouldn't have made You worry.
I just remembered Wu laughing and saying, "You've been killed again..."
"Xin'er, don't pay attention to what others say," You gently comforted me, stroking my head.
I sniffed to calm myself down, then looked up at You with a smile and said, "I'm fine."
You looked at me for a long time, then hugged me and said, "Let's go back."
"good."
You took me back to the palace in an instant.
"You, go ahead and get busy." After arriving at the palace, I nudged You and told him to get on with his work.
Why are you in such a hurry to send me away?
"I'm afraid of interfering with your important business."
"My main priority is to spend time with you."
I was pushing You away when You suddenly turned around, catching me completely off guard. I ended up falling into You's arms, my nose filled with You's unique fragrance.
"I won't run around anymore," I said softly, burying my face in You's chest.
"I don't blame you."
I looked up from You's chest. "Are you really done with your work?"
"I'm done with work," Youyan said with a smile.
You gently rubbed my head a couple of times before letting go of me, then rolled up her sleeves. "I'll go cook for you."
"But I just came out of Yongtai Pavilion..."
You looked at me with some disappointment, her bright eyes suddenly dimming, and I felt a little sorry for her.
"But I haven't eaten anything yet, and I'm still hungry."
"Then I'll go." You's eyes lit up instantly, and she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen.
What turned a vicious villain into a stay-at-home dad? I would never have imagined having a secret rendezvous and cooking before.
Since You went to the kitchen, I naturally wouldn't sit here obediently and wait for her to come back. I followed behind her like a little puppy, helping out with whatever I could.
As I washed the vegetables, I chatted with You. "You, I always feel that Wu is a bit strange."
The thumping sound of someone chopping vegetables lingered in my ears.
"Something's strange about it."
The greens became even greener after being nourished by the flowing water. As I fiddled with the leaves, I thought of the last time I saw Wu Shi.
"Wu Mingming is clearly Liu Lieyu's subordinate, but the last time I looked for him in Guixu, he asked me if I wanted to kill Liu Lieyu..." Is this guy a traitor?
Lost in my memories, I didn't notice that the thumping sound of chopping vegetables in the room had stopped. When I came to my senses, I found that You was also in a daze.
I scooped the vegetables from the basin and was about to place them next to You when I noticed bright red blood on the white cutting board. "You, how did you cut your hand?" I took You's hand and gently cast a spell to heal the wound.
"I accidentally cut myself." You glanced at her hand, smiled faintly, and turned back to chopping vegetables.
"Be careful." I stood beside You, watching her cook, and pointed to the vegetables I had just put on the table. "The vegetables you asked me to wash are done. Is there anything else?"
"That's all, you can rest now."
"Oh." Having nothing else to do, I stood next to You and silently admired her cooking skills.
The matter of Wu still lingered in my mind, and I couldn't help but ask again, "You, do you think Wu might really be a traitor?"
"25 bastard?" You didn't quite understand.
"Emmm... it means traitor."
You softly said "Oh," and then added, "That's possible."
"Then can we bring Wu over?"
"no!"
"Huh?" I stared blankly at You, feeling that You's reaction was unusually intense. Even when she learned that Liu Lieyu was coming, You wasn't this excited.
You Xu also seemed to have frightened us, and softened her tone, saying, "This person is too dangerous; do not approach him."
"Okay." You's reaction was really strange, but I guess it must be for my own good. Wu doesn't seem like a good person at all.
“If he comes looking for you again, just run. Don’t listen to anything he says. I’ll be there right away.” You’s voice was somewhat cold, and her tone was serious and left no room for doubt.
From my angle, I could see You's flawless profile, her lips tightly pressed together, her eyes intently focused on the dishes on the cutting board.
I suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
It seems that what happened today really scared You.
Today is the day the delegation will leave, and You went to the outer hall early in the morning to see them off.
Since You displayed the Hetu Luoshu in the main hall last time, none of the servants from various factions have come to cause trouble.
If Liu Lieyu insists on provoking a war, he should think it over carefully.
"Master, why are you still so gloomy after the delegation left?"
Feng Su was specially left behind by You to take care of me, because You was afraid that Liu Lieyu would cause some trouble while the delegation was away.
"The delegation has left, but who knows what Liu Lieyu will do next."
When Feng Su heard Liu Lieyu mentioned, her eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of ruthlessness. "If he comes, I will definitely not let him off."
"Perhaps Liu Lieyu won't come." Although we are now at odds with Liu Lieyu, I still don't want war to break out. Every war will result in casualties, and the last thing I want to see is You and Feng Su getting hurt.
“Master, don’t think about it. Here, try this. Youyuan specially prepared it for you.” Feng Su picked up a snack and comforted me.
Feng Su stayed with me in my palace for a whole day, accompanied by Hao.
I thought it was just a matter of sending someone away, and that You would be back soon, but as time passed, You still didn't return.
I put down the cards in my hand; I was preoccupied with something and even lost interest in my favorite game, playing cards.
"Feng Su, why hasn't You come back for so long?"
"Perhaps something happened that caused the delay."
"Could something have happened? Feng Su, go and check on him."
"But You told me to stay by your side."
Ever since I ran away and met Luo that day, You has been unusually nervous around me.
He said that if Liu Lieyu had any conspiracy, he would definitely carry it out today, especially since the messenger left.
Before leaving, Youli repeatedly warned me not to step out of the inner palace.
"It's alright, I'll stay here and not go anywhere, you can go out and take a look."
"But..." Feng Su still hesitated.
