Chapter 203 What is Clivia?
Ye Lanzhou didn't know what was wrong with Xie Chengyan, and thought he was happy about the New Year, so he kept his eyes on him. Until the end of the banquet, Ye Lanzhou was led by the palace servants to the Cining Palace to rest.
Xie Chengyan was a vassal prince with his own residence, so he could no longer stay in the palace and left with the palace attendants. She didn't even look at Ye Lanzhou again until the end. She suddenly remembered that Xie Chengyan said he wanted to spend the New Year with her. So, they could be considered to have spent the New Year together, just without talking...
Even though I was comforting myself in this way, I still felt a sense of loss.
Ye Lanzhou was led to the Cining Palace by the palace servants. Xie Chengyan was right. Xu Surong did not intend to attack her. The palace banquet today did not even have a trace of ill will. But she did not dare to relax. The gauze around her waist hurt her back, and she did not dare to loosen it even after lying on the bed.
The side hall of the Cining Palace was quite nice, better than any other place she had lived before, and the decorations were also exquisite. She was lying on the couch, exhausted today. She had already run back and forth from the capital to the suburbs twice, and then sat for so long wrapped in this gauze. She only lay there for a while before she felt sleepy.
In a daze, she heard some noise outside the window, and then realized that she was in the Cining Palace. She felt a chill on her back and lost all desire to sleep.
Didn’t Xie Chengyan say that Xu Surong wouldn’t dare to attack her since she was living in the Cining Palace?
She suddenly woke up from the couch, and subconsciously grasped a silver needle in her hand, which flew out the moment the window was opened. She saw someone outside waving his sleeve, opening her silver needle and extinguishing the candle not far away.
The room was pitch black, so she couldn't see who was coming. She could only smell a strong smell of alcohol.
Ye Lanzhou was frightened and almost screamed, but the person who came covered her mouth in time. Then a pair of hands restrained her waist. Xie Chengyan stood behind her, and a strong smell of alcohol hit her side.
His voice rang in my ears, not loud, but as if he was holding back: "Why don't you look at me?"
"Avoid suspicion." Ye Lanzhou moved her body, but found that he was too strong, making her unable to move. "Didn't the prince avoid it first?"
He pressed his nose against Ye Lanzhou's neck and asked, "What Clivia?"
Ye Lanzhou paused. It turned out that he had heard what Chu Xiu said to her, but even He Qiumao might not have heard it at the time. Where was he? How could he have heard it?
"I gave him a Clivia when he was a child." Ye Lanzhou said, but then, as if realizing his words were inappropriate, he added, "It was given in the name of the Ye Mansion."
"I want one too."
Ye Lanzhou was originally frightened by the fact that he broke into the Cining Palace at night, but who knew that he risked coming in just to prove himself?
She seemed to know what made Xie Chengyan angry. He would be like this whenever she interacted with others and ignored him.
To be honest, Ye Lanzhou didn't mind him doing this.
On the contrary, she enjoyed it very much, as if only in this way could Ye Lanzhou feel his strong love.
He pinched Ye Lanzhou's lower back and asked in a low voice, "So, you're so distant from him now, is it because you don't like him anymore, or because I said I wanted to kill him?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Chengyan was still brooding over her and Chu Xiu's affairs. She turned her head to look at Xie Chengyan, but found that the room was dim at the moment. She could not see anything clearly, but could feel his warmth. His breathing was a little rapid, and the spray on the back of her neck was numb.
"I did like it when I was a kid," she said calmly, "but I was too young back then, and that love can't stand the test of time."
She suddenly chuckled and whispered, "It can't compare to the affection I have with the prince."
