On the table were three stoves, a pot of hot tea, and several plates of desserts.
The warmth from the heating made Cheng Xianyi's fair and delicate face flush red.
She rested her chin on one hand, her beautiful, unfocused eyes gazing out through the window, lost in thought. With her other hand, she twirled her teacup and murmured, "Seven days, three hours, one quarter, and six breaths."
"I haven't seen A-Cheng for seven days, three hours, one quarter, and six breaths..."
"Will he miss me?"
Will it?
Cheng Xianyi counted the time in her heart, her eyes tender and affectionate, unable to suppress the longing buried deep in her heart.
Although she had urged Ziyan to speed up her journey, Zhou Cheng was too worried about Zhou Zhenguang's situation and moved even faster than her. She chased after him for seven days but still couldn't catch up.
It seems...
I can't sleep against A-Cheng's chest tonight.
Thinking this way, Cheng Xianyi's bright eyes dimmed, and the cold aura surrounding her became even stronger.
"master."
suddenly!
Ziyan lifted the carriage curtain and walked in. She glanced at Cheng Xianyi's face with a complicated expression, and then handed over a secret letter sent by carrier pigeon: "This is the situation in the capital."
"Emperor Yan has sent a message to the imperial army, ordering them to annihilate the Zhou family and Zhou Cheng at all costs."
"besides........"
Cheng Xianyi's eyes flickered as she took the secret letter, opened it, and glanced at Ziyan: "What else?"
"Master, you should see for yourself."
I dare not say!
I didn't know your true identity before, and as a result, I said the wrong thing and almost got slapped half to death by you.
Now that everyone knows, how dare I say anything?
Cheng Xianyi narrowed her dark eyes slightly, opened the secret letter, and glanced at the first few lines until... until her gaze fell on the last inconspicuous message.
In an instant!
The warmth inside the carriage was sucked away by the cold air.
Cheng Xianyi suddenly looked up, a flash of extremely dangerous killing intent passing through her dark eyes. Her drooping fingertips tightened again and again, as if she was trying her best to suppress some emotion.
"The Emperor Yan has decreed that Miss Lin must marry the young master of the Qin family?"
"Did Miss Lin also write a letter to A-Cheng, asking him to return to the capital to rescue her?"
"Click-clack—"
Cheng Xianyi unconsciously gripped the teacup with her right hand, and with a cracking sound, a shard of porcelain pierced her palm.
Blood stained her pale hands, but she didn't even flinch, letting the pain wash over her: "How many days are left until Miss Lin's wedding to the Qin family's young master!"
"Master, Master, your hand..."
"The letter arrived five days ago, and there are still ten days left."
“Master, Young Master Zhou is already engaged to you, and he has been treating you very well during this time. He even humiliated Lin Jiaoyun and the Lin family in front of you.”
"Why don't you calm down first? Young Master Zhou might... probably... probably won't go to the capital to steal the bride. Besides, any man, as long as he's not blind, would choose you."
Yeah?
Cheng Xianyi slowly loosened her fingers, and blood dripped from her fingertips onto the floor.
The panic and jealousy that had been building up inside him surged straight to the top of his head.
She felt a churning pain in her chest, so intense that she couldn't calm down at all. It must be because Cheng had been treating her too well lately, so well that she started to fantasize that Cheng could only belong to her alone.
No one can take her away from her; anyone who tries will die!
"Master? Are you alright?" Ziyan was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.
"If you are worried that Young Master Zhou will see the letter of distress written by Lin Jiaoyun, then I will immediately give the order to intercept the letter at all costs."
