Chapter 49 I Only Love Myself
When He Ye returned, half an hour had passed.
The door creaked open, and a few gusts of cool air squeezed into the room, which was not warm to begin with, causing Qiao Yihuan in front of the mirror to frown slightly.
She looked at the incoming lotus leaves through the bronze mirror, and her frown deepened.
"Xiaoying said you disappeared half an hour ago. Where did you go?"
She had been sitting in front of the mirror for half an hour, looking at the scar on her shoulder.
The shocking wound could not be covered even with a powder puff. Not to mention the prince, even she herself felt sick just looking at it.
She had to go to the Pharmacist Valley to find the miracle doctor, but she had to think of a way to get out. If she rashly said she wanted to go to the Pharmacist Valley, her father would definitely not agree to let her go out.
She was so absorbed in thinking about this matter that she didn't really care about Lotus Leaf's disappearance.
He Ye walked in. "To reply to the young lady, I went to Xuanyang Hall to tell the master that you were not feeling well, so I will not be there for dinner."
Qiao Yihuan turned to look at her, his expression slightly changed as he asked, "Did Your Highness say anything?"
He Ye replied: "Your Highness only said one sentence."
"What?!" Qiao Yihuan stood up slowly, looking forward to getting her answer.
He Ye said: "Your Highness just told me to raise my head."
Qiao Yihuan frowned. What does this mean?
Although He Ye is young, she has an ordinary appearance. His Highness initially didn't even take a woman like Qiao Wanyan seriously, so it's impossible that he would fall in love with her.
Could it be...
She seemed to have thought of something. She walked over in three or two steps, lifted He Ye's chin, and saw the slap mark on her cheek in the candlelight. She immediately understood.
"You..." Qiao Yihuan scolded, "I never asked you to go to Xuanyang Hall, why did you go?! You did it on purpose!"
She felt a chill. Before, at the city gate, she suddenly took out the jade bracelet that she was supposed to pawn for no reason. Now, she was asked to kneel outside the courtyard, but she went to Xuanyang Hall and deliberately showed people a slap in the face. If this wasn't intentional, how could it be?
She always thought that He Ye was an obedient person. Although she was a little cowardly, she was also loyal.
In this Mingxiang Pavilion, she only allowed her other than Xiaoying to get close to her.
But now even she has betrayed herself!
She pointed at her nose and asked, "Whose are you? Madam's, or Qiao Wanyan's?!"
"Sister is so stupid. She still can't guess it even at this time."
Qiao Wanyan was wearing a thick red cape, and her delicate face, as bright as a lotus, was set off by her enchanting beauty. The most gorgeous flowers bloomed against the night background, and even the bright moon in the sky was ashamed to hide behind the clouds.
She stepped over the threshold and walked in, sitting calmly in the main seat, looking at Qiao Yihuan's ferocious face that was suppressed to the extreme with a smile on her face.
Qiao Wanyan couldn't help laughing and sighed, "Sister, it's so cold here. The charcoal fire is not burning well and I can't feel the warmth inside."
The Yongning Pavilion where she lived also had a charcoal fire, but the most important thing was the floor heating and the wall heating. When she entered the house, it was as warm as spring. She didn't feel cold even though she was only wearing a thin skirt.
Qiao Yihuan's face was gloomy. "When did you bribe her?"
"Sister, you finally can't pretend anymore? In the past, no matter how hard I bullied you, you always took it in and acted soft and gentle. What happened now?"
Qiao Wanyan suddenly realized, "Oh~ Maybe you feel a sense of crisis? The only love from the high-ranking people is gradually disappearing. Sister is so anxious that she can't eat or sleep, right?"
She sighed with regret, "Sister, sister, you have to learn to admit defeat."
Qiao Yihuan looked gloomy, "Your Highness and I love each other, and the friendship between us cannot be severed by your scheming!"
"You admire the prince?" Qiao Wanyan seemed surprised, "Sister, falling in love with a man is the stupidest thing to do."
Qiao Yihuan was a little surprised, "You don't love His Highness?"
"Of course, I only love myself." Qiao Wanyan's tone was light, but her words were as heavy as a thousand pounds. "I don't need to fall in love with him, I just need him to fall in love with me."
"Those who sink into it are losers. How can I lose?"
Qiao Yihuan thought she was simply a lunatic and love was the most beautiful thing in the world.
She loves His Highness to the core, so she hopes that His Highness can love her forever.
Only by loving each other can you spend your life together until old age!
The two people have completely different ideas and concepts, and both think that the other is ridiculous.
Qiao Yihuan suddenly asked, "You tampered with the bracelet, didn't you?"
Qiao Wanyan did not deny it. "Thanks to the good maid beside you, otherwise I would not know your every move. You went to the pawnshop to pawn the bracelet, and the pawnshop owner gave it to me right after you pawned it."
Her maternal grandfather was an imperial merchant and had many businesses in Yongzhou.
An unknown small pawnshop, also owned by the Jin family.
Qiao Yihuan glared at He Ye angrily. Qiao Wanyan said slowly, "Sister can't blame He Ye. For these servants, a banknote can allow their whole family to live without worries for several lifetimes."
For the poor, spending money can make them work for you and buy out their pride and loyalty.
"When did it happen? When did you bribe her?!"
Qiao Wanyan thought about it carefully, "Probably... it was the day before the prince held a welcoming banquet for King Jing, right?"
Not long after she read the storybook, she bribed He Ye to tell her anything that happened to Qiao Yihuan.
Look, now there is finally a rift between the prince and her.
Although it would not lead to the severance of their relationship, the premise of severance of their relationship would be the continuous creation of rifts.
The contradictions are accumulating more and more, and one day they will explode.
Since he couldn't bring himself to kill Qiao Yihuan, he let the relationship between them completely fall apart.
Qiao Yihuan staggered and almost fell. He Ye had had ulterior motives for such a long time. Qiao Wanyan was so vicious that she placed a spy beside her to monitor her.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Highness all this?! He and I have a deep friendship. Do you think he really won't believe me?"
Qiao Wanyan didn't take it seriously. She stood up and walked in front of her, smiling innocently. She leaned close to her ear and said with a smile, "But sister, aren't you afraid that your mother will die?"
Qiao Yihuan's body suddenly became extremely cold.
Qiao Wanyan was very satisfied with her expression at the moment, and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Shut your mouth and your little girl will live."
After saying this, she walked away.
Qiao Yihuan suddenly turned around and asked loudly, "You are so vicious, aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
Qiao Wanyan never looked back, "Retribution is nothing but psychological comfort for the weak."
