Chapter 312 Little Liar
The study suddenly became quiet, with a heart-pounding silence.
The sunlight penetrated through the window lattice and sprinkled on He Zhiyu's face, which was as stunning as if it was coated with a layer of holy light. However, the coldness leaked from the corners of his eyes made people feel that the person in front of them did not have any mercy or divinity.
Qiao Wanyan took a step back. He Zhiyu walked up to her slowly, looking at the person who was only as tall as his shoulder, and asked in a gentle voice, "What are you talking about, Wanyan?"
He raised his hand and put the loose hairpin in Qiao Wanyan's hair. His tone was still gentle and soft, "Do you think that the person I just said I wanted to marry is your eldest sister?"
The tone was still the same as before, but Qiao Wanyan felt her scalp numbing and her feet felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.
"Haven't you always wanted to marry me? Now that I am what you want, why do you still have to play hard to get?"
The figure of He Yanli suddenly appeared in Qiao Wanyan's mind. Her heart beat a little faster and an indescribable emotion rose up.
It seems to be natural and not abrupt at all.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "But I think the person I like is Brother Yanli."
He Zhiyu suddenly laughed, tilted his head slightly, and lifted her chin with his fingertips to force her to look at him.
"If you play hard to get too far, it will backfire."
"You once told me that you could tolerate your husband having three wives and four concubines, but you could not tolerate your husband loving a woman other than you. Although I cannot love you more than the country, you will always be the person I cherish most in the East Palace."
Qiao Wanyan turned her head away for a moment, "It doesn't make sense to marry someone after expressing your feelings. It's just me who has been unwilling to admit my true feelings. The one I love the most, the one I love the most, is still Brother Yanli."
She said firmly, "I want to marry Brother Yanli, I want to be his princess, I want to spend my whole life with him!"
The arc of He Zhiyu's mouth froze for a moment, "But you abandoned him when he was at his lowest point. How can this be considered love? Wanyan, be good. Did he force you to do something? Tell me, and I will make the decision for you."
Qiao Wanyan shook her head. "I once abandoned him, but now I am willing to go back and continue to like him. How can he reject my feelings?"
Such unreasonable words coming out of her mouth seemed very reasonable and justified.
"Thank you Your Highness for hiding Qiao Chuxue's matter from me. I will never forget your kindness. Although it is not yet night, no one will notice me if I leave through the back door of the East Palace. I will take my leave first."
After saying this, she turned and left.
However, before he touched the study door, he was pulled back with great force.
"I don't think I heard you clearly just now. Who did you say you wanted to marry?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned and wanted to pull his hand out, but he was so strong that it was difficult for him to even free his hand an inch, let alone pull it out.
"I provoked me, and now that he's back I've thrown myself into his arms. Qiao Wanyan, do you think I'm a dog that you can summon and dismiss at will?"
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "Let me go!"
He Zhiyu pretended not to hear her and pulled her closer, his tone containing a hint of temptation.
"Since you are young and inexperienced, I will give you a chance. Tell me who you want to marry."
Qiao Wanyan said angrily, "Your Highness, even if you ask me ten thousand times, I will still marry Brother Yanli! You wavered and kept saying that you wanted to marry me as the Crown Princess, but you left Qiao Yihuan in the mansion to take care of me and disgust me. Why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"
"You are just unwilling to be rejected by me. Do I have to marry you just to make you happy?!"
Jingyuan was right at the door. Although he couldn't see the scene inside, he could hear the sounds inside.
The second young lady's mouth...
That's too cruel, and the words are really vicious.
She used to speak softly to His Highness, but now that she has suddenly changed her temper and wants to marry Prince Jing, she instantly turned hostile and refused to serve him.
This kind of personality is really free and easy, just doing whatever he wants for his own happiness.
Qiao Wanyan was too lazy to pretend with him now. So what if he was the prince? He couldn't really hurt himself or take his own life just to vent his anger.
Daddy won't sit idly by, and neither will brother Yanli. Why should I let myself be bullied by his anger?
People who are insignificant are not worthy of you compromising.
He Zhiyu didn't say anything, but looked at her quietly with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to stare through her.
Qiao Wanyan felt uncomfortable being stared at, as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast in the wilderness, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
She lowered her eyes. A man of insight is a wise man. If she really annoyed him at this moment, even if he would not kill her, he would not let her go easily.
Qiao Chuxue is still in his hands. If he lets Qiao Chuxue confess that he forced her to kill someone, won't he be imprisoned?
Even if Daddy and Brother Yanli will help me, I will inevitably be talked about by others.
Qiao Wanyan's voice trembled slightly: "I'm just, I'm just dissatisfied with Your Highness keeping Qiao Yihuan in the Eastern Palace..."
He Zhiyu still didn't say anything.
Qiao Wanyan slowly raised her eyelids and looked at him, her eyes shining brightly, "I'm afraid that His Highness only has her in his heart, and I'm also afraid that His Highness will forgive her no matter what she does."
"I just want Your Highness to pay more attention to me. Your Highness can see that I am playing hard to get, so why can't you understand my heart?"
He Zhiyu let out a long breath, and all her anger disappeared because of her pitiful tone.
Outside the door, the guard reported, "Your Highness, Prince Jing is here and he wants to see you for something important."
Qiao Wanyan held He Zhiyu's hand almost the moment she heard the voice. "Since the prince is here, I won't disturb you from talking to him. But I haven't finished talking to you yet. Can I go to the inner room and wait for you?"
He Zhiyu tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "Before you came, did you send someone to inform King Jing?"
Qiao Wanyan was slightly stunned, but shook her head calmly, "No."
He Zhiyu said softly, "You like to lie so much, how can I believe you? In order to hold on until he comes to save you, you have to lower your face to coax me, it's really hard for you."
I was afraid that if I let her go to the inner room, she would rush out without hesitation when He Yanli came.
Qiao Wanyan wanted to say something, but He Zhiyu stabbed her with his hand, and her vision suddenly went dark and her body collapsed uncontrollably.
He Zhiyu picked her up and carried her sideways towards a wall in the southwest corner. After opening the mechanism of the dark room, he walked into the dark room.
After a moment, the door of the study was opened.
Jingyuan followed immediately.
He Zhiyu kept walking, "Tell him to come to Qiongyu Palace to see me."
