Yingyi dared not utter a word of rebuttal. His usually resolute body now seemed to have had its spine ripped out by an invisible, enormous force, hunching over slightly and looking utterly dejected.
He hung his head, as if it weighed a ton, bowing it low, not daring to look directly into Yu Ying's cold gaze, which was as sharp as a frost-covered blade.
His steps were slow and dragging, each step like dragging heavy shackles, like a lost dog with its tail between its legs, slinking away slowly.
However, the discontent in his heart was like a raging fire fueled by accelerants; instead of being extinguished, it burned even more intensely in an almost frenzied manner.
With each step he took, the hatred spread and entwined wildly in his heart like a poisonous vine, taking deep root and constantly drawing nourishment from his resentment.
But he knew all too well that in front of Yu Ying, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant, easily manipulated by others.
If you are not careful, you will be easily crushed to death and end up being smashed to pieces.
Therefore, he could only bury this heavy resentment deep in his heart, as if guarding a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
They secretly waited for a chance to turn their lives around that might never come, that faint hope like a distant, unreachable candlelight in the darkness.
Yu Ying was completely indifferent to Ying Yi's turbulent thoughts, or perhaps she simply disdained to pay attention to them.
Her expression was calm and serene, as if nothing in the outside world could stir a ripple in her heart.
He slowly took the stone out of his sleeve, his movements elegant and composed, yet revealing a hint of unintentional languor.
Her gaze gently fell upon the stone, her eyes seemingly piercing through its surface and reaching its deep interior.
A deep and solemn thought flashed across his eyes, like an undercurrent hidden beneath a calm lake.
That gaze seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, its thoughts drifting to a distant and unknown place.
At this very moment, in the bustling capital city, news of Su Jinyun's disappearance has spread.
Like a sudden and terrifying storm, the news reached the emperor's ears with lightning speed.
At that time, the emperor was sitting on the magnificent dragon throne, exuding supreme majesty.
However, when Su Jinyun's bodyguards, pale as paper and in a state of near panic, reported the matter...
The emperor's previously calm expression froze instantly, followed by a sudden, overwhelming sense of heaviness, as if he were falling into an abyss.
It was as if a massive boulder had crashed down without warning, instantly clamping his heart as if it were being squeezed by iron clamps. A sharp pain shot through him, and his breath caught in his throat.
Pei Yanci, the Left Prime Minister, was known in the court for his calm demeanor and inability to show his emotions, just like a mountain collapsing before him without changing his expression.
At that moment, the expression on his face froze as if struck by lightning, and then changed drastically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mask of composure and calmness that he usually wore was shattered and scattered on the ground in the face of this news that came as a bolt from the blue.
Instead, he was filled with barely concealed panic and anxiety; his eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of fear.
The fear, like a ghost lurking in the depths of darkness, crept silently into his heart.
It was as if they foresaw the terrible consequences that were about to come, consequences that might wash away everything they had painstakingly built up, like a raging flood.
They all deeply understood that Su Jinyun held a pivotal and irreplaceable position in Qin Qianluo's heart.
Like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating Qin Qianluo's world.
If Su Jinyun really meets with misfortune, when Qin Qianluo returns, she will probably be like a mad beast, completely losing her mind and falling into a state of madness.
They might do something reckless and reckless, regardless of the consequences.
The Emperor shared the same concerns, and the dignified Right Chancellor of Chengxiao Kingdom, Su, was abducted as if he had vanished into thin air, despite being heavily protected by secret guards.
This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation and ruthless trampling on the dignity of the royal family, like a slap in the face to the royal family.
Within the capital city, soldiers stood in rows, guarding the city with strict discipline. Every inch of land seemed to be covered by a tight protective net, a net that appeared to be indestructible.
However, it is truly baffling and unbelievable that they couldn't even protect a prime minister.
Moreover, no sooner had Qin Qianluo left the capital than the Prime Minister vanished without a trace.
The bizarre coincidence of this timing seems like a malicious joke deliberately arranged by fate.
This made the emperor feel even more humiliated, and an indescribable anger and anxiety welled up in his heart.
It felt as if a raging fire was burning in my chest, yet it was bound by an invisible force, leaving me with nowhere to vent my frustration and only torment in my heart.
