Under the incandescent light, even the fine hairs on a person's face seemed to be clearly illuminated.
Feng Qi's face was very close to Jiang Zheyu's. He opened his dark eyes and could see the fine downy hairs under the incandescent light and Jiang Zheyu's fair and delicate skin.
He felt his throat was dry and swallowed hard.
At that moment, Jiang Zheyu opened her eyes and unexpectedly met Feng Qi's pair of dark, intoxicating eyes.
"Jiang Yuyu, look at me so beautifully." Feng Qi stared at her blankly, feeling an urge to hug and kiss her, his eyes filled with deep desire.
He unconsciously followed his instincts and wanted to get close to Jiang Zheyu.
Suddenly, her collar was grabbed and she was pulled onto the bed behind her.
Feng Qi's entire head was pressed down and buried in the blanket by that hand.
"Now that you're fully healed, you can leave." Su Yan really couldn't control himself. When he saw Feng Qiqing go over to kiss his Yu Yu, he couldn't help but reach out and pull him away.
At this moment, Su Yan withdrew his hand, and Feng Qi also sat up from the bed with a gloomy expression. His black hair was extremely messy. He raised his hand to brush his hair up from his sharp brow bone and looked at Su Yan with a half-smile, his expression inscrutable.
He quickly got off the bed, hooked his long arm around Su Yan's shoulder, and dragged him outside. His voice was low and clearly cold: "Commander Su, let's go outside and have a chat."
Su Yan knew the implied meaning of Feng Qi's words, but he did not refuse and followed Feng Qi out.
“You guys…” Jiang Zheyu got off the bed with some concern.
Feng Qi turned around and grinned, his face beaming: "Jiang Yuyu, don't worry, I'm just going to catch up with Commander Su. I'll be back soon. You should rest."
Jiang Zheyu: ...
I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.
"Don't fight," Jiang Zheyu quickly said.
"Don't worry, Yu Yu, we won't fight." Su Yan also turned his head to look over, his tone and voice very calm.
Jiang Zheyu felt a little relieved after hearing Su Yan say that.
"Okay, you should go to sleep early, don't wait for me." Su Yanqing smiled gently at Jiang Zheyu.
"Aren't you coming back tonight?" Jiang Zheyu seemed somewhat surprised.
"Yes, let's chat all night." Su Yan's voice was incredibly convincing, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, as if it really was just a simple chat.
Although Jiang Zheyu had some doubts, he didn't say anything more.
Su Yan and Feng Qi then went outside.
The two even left the palace.
Soon they arrived at a deserted open space.
"It's been so many years since I've fought you. Let's see if you've really gotten any worse." Feng Qi sneered, and his tall figure nimbly rushed towards Su Yan. "I've been looking down on you for a long time."
"I'm not happy with you either." Su Yan's heart was filled with resentment.
The two exchanged blows, but they tacitly avoided hitting each other in the face or other conspicuous places. Instead, they struck hidden, particularly painful spots, ensuring that Jiang Zheyu wouldn't notice, while also making things difficult for both of them.
...
Jiang Zheyu had no idea that the two men, who had verbally agreed not to fight, had already started brawling at each other outside.
This interruption made Jiang Zheyu forget what she wanted to ask Feng Qi.
So after she finished washing up, she put on her pajamas, lay down on the bed, and had a good night's sleep.
She was asleep in the middle of the night when the huge floor-to-ceiling window was slightly ajar, and a breeze blew in, lifting the curtains that were like a moonlit veil.
"Bang!"
A loud bang suddenly slammed into Jiang Zheyu's ears.
"Ahhh!"
After Jiang Zheyu woke up, he heard a scream that sounded like a female ghost.
Jiang Zheyu's face remained expressionless: ...
Why does this opening scene, where I wake up in the middle of the night, feel so familiar?
With a blank expression, she recalled that on her first night here before she was arrested, she was also awakened in the middle of the night by a loud noise.
This damn familiar opening.
She hadn't slept here in so long that she forgot to close the window. Besides, she had only slept here for one night before.
Jiang Zheyu silently threw off the covers, put on soft slippers and a plain white nightgown, and slowly moved to the French windows, squinting her eyes as she looked out at the garden.
Doesn't anyone know that this little princess of the empire goes crazy every night in the middle of the night?
In the garden, the little princess of the empire was wearing a pink nightgown, her black hair was loose, and she was holding a whip in her hand.
She was surrounded by many servants kneeling around her, as well as a man in a white shirt, who seemed to be the commander from before.
The man in the white shirt was surrounded by shards of glass and blood of unknown origin, which had stained the ground. His white shirt and body were also covered in blood, as were his hands.
Why does this scene look so similar to the one before? The difference is that it seems even more tragic than last time.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Zheyu realized that all the blood was flowing from the Imperial Princess's wrist; it had been partially obscured, which was why he hadn't seen it clearly before.
Her eyelids twitched violently. What had happened?
Human curiosity made Jiang Zheyu stop at the window and continue watching.
In the garden.
The man in the white shirt knelt before the imperial princess, his expression calm yet indifferent: "Your Highness, your hand is injured. Let's get it bandaged."
His voice seemed to be stating the facts without any extra emotion, as if they were a fake married couple.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" the imperial princess screamed shrilly. "Let my beast father come here! Let my brother come here!"
The shrill sound seemed to pierce the eardrums.
Jiang Zheyu heard everything clearly from upstairs.
She paused slightly upon hearing the Imperial Princess's words. Why would the Imperial Princess say such a thing? Was it not easy for her to see her beast father and brother?
Jiang Zheyu thought of what Su Yan had told her about the little princess being so desperate for a star pirate. Could it be that the little princess of the empire was locked up in the palace by the Star Emperor because she always wanted to find star pirates?
She felt she was getting close to the truth.
The man in the white shirt fell silent after hearing the princess's words and did not answer her.
Then the little princess started screaming again: "Aaaaaaah!"
As she screamed, she began sweeping the garden with a whip, instantly scattering the beautiful flowers.
Jiang Zheyu felt a chill run down her spine when she saw this scene from upstairs.
This really makes him seem like a madman.
