Chapter 239 What should I do with you?
Xi Yan suddenly turned around and met Xiao Nanyan Ruyuan's gaze:
"Your Majesty? How dare you come here!"
Xi Yan lowered her voice and glanced at the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window:
"The prince's secret guards are spread all over the palace. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?"
Xiao Nanyue turned a deaf ear to him and kept his eyes fixed on Xiyan's thin face.
The dim candlelight on the wall cast dark shadows under her eyes. She looked much more haggard these days.
Xiao Nanyue suddenly recalled their first encounter eight years ago, when she knelt in the dust, begging him to take her away. At that time, she was still a dirty little girl, with a wildfire burning in her eyes that he had never seen before.
Was it his harshness and cruelty that changed her personality over the years?
From a little girl who was ignorant of the world and fearless, she turned into an ice-cold beauty with a delicate mind, cautious and sensitive.
“Yan Yan…”
Xiao Nanyue's throat tightened and he reached out to touch her face, but just as his fingertips were about to touch her, she turned her head away.
Xiao Nanyue's hand was suspended in the air, and finally slid down slowly and landed on Xiyan's flat belly.
When the big hand touched her abdomen, Xiao Nanyue's heart suddenly felt warm.
The woman in front of him, whom he had been thinking about day and night, was pregnant with his own flesh and blood. At this moment, he felt inexplicably at ease, and the emptiness he had been feeling for many days seemed to have found an outlet.
Xiyan felt her body becoming increasingly stiff. She tried desperately to break free, but she couldn't get rid of his shackles.
"Stop it, Yanyan. Are you resisting me like this? You weren't like this before."
Xi Yan sneered: "It's the same as before and now. In Xi Yan's heart, you have always been my master."
Xiyan turned around, unwilling to look at him, but Xiao Nanyan turned her over, turned over and pressed her under him, staring into her eyes:
"I know you hate and resent me. However, I want to tell you that the arrow that pierced you was not my wish; I gave you to Helian Feng because of the situation."
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Xi Yan's eyes:
"Your Highness, are you explaining? Actually, you don't need to explain. I understand everything. Everyone and everything is under your control, without a single mistake. Even the arrow you shot at me was perfectly measured. In the wild cemetery, you and Helian Feng fought for only a fraction of a second, but all you gambled on was my life!"
“Yan Yan…”
Xiao Nanyue suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.
"The prince gave me to Helian Feng and forced me to assassinate him. Have you ever thought that I am also a human being, not a cold killing tool? I also have a heart! Helian Feng has good intentions towards me after all. If he has murderous intentions, I will be in his house day and night. If I make a mistake, will I have a chance to survive?"
"The reason I let you stay in the Prince's Mansion these days is that it's actually safer here than in the Prince's Mansion, because in the Prince's Mansion..."
Xiao Nanyan hesitated to speak:
"Please wait patiently for two days. Yunqiu will be hunting and offering sacrifices to the heavens. This apocalypse will also change the world! If I don't die, I will promise you a bright future."
Xiyan was slightly stunned. Is this war about to come?
Xiao Nanyan gently kissed her on the lips:
"I have spies in the Crown Prince's Mansion, so you will be fine..."
However, his original explanation turned into irony in Xiyan's ears:
"Spy? Your Highness, are you worried that I won't be able to do my job well, or are you wary of me and Helian Feng having an affair?"
Xiao Nanyan didn't deny it: "That Helian Feng has been coveting you for a long time. With all his sweet words, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be tempted! You are a death warrior sent by the king. How can a death warrior be tempted by the enemy?"
Xi Yan sneered:
"In fact, you are using me under the guise of protecting me. You know that Helian Feng will not kill me, so you are taking advantage of his kindness towards me to do things that are loyal to you."
She took a deep breath:
"Your Highness, this time, I can tell you clearly that I cannot kill Helian Feng! He has saved my life several times, and I cannot kill him with my conscience. If Your Highness feels that I have not completed my mission, please activate the Chi Zhong Gu and let me die in agony. I will not complain at all!"
Xiao Nanyan's body suddenly stiffened.
The tent suddenly became eerily quiet. The only sounds were Xiyan's rapid heartbeat and Xiao Nanyan's increasingly heavy breathing, weaving an impenetrable net in the night.
Xiao Nanyan only felt that the woman in front of him, although her eyes and eyebrows were still the same as in his memory, seemed to be separated from him by a layer of ice blade, and every word she said cut him into a bloody mess.
"Yanyan, you're too smart!"
After a long silence, Xiao Nanyan suddenly spoke, his voice gradually becoming colder:
"This king can allow you not to kill Helian Feng, but you'd better pray that you haven't fallen in love with him, otherwise, this king will put an end to you with his own hands!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his palm and extinguished the candle in the corner.
In the darkness, Xiyan felt his lips falling heavily on her collarbone with a force that was almost punishing.
She closed her eyes and let the tears slide into her hair——
Compared to the unknown tomorrow, perhaps the pain at this moment can make her more sober.
Xiao Nanyue's breath sprayed on her neck, so hot that it seemed to burn through her skin.
Xiyan tensed her body, but did not face the expected invasion.
His hot forehead rested against her shoulder, his hot body trembled slightly, but he never went beyond the line.
"Yanyan..." His voice was muffled between her collarbones, with a tone of near despair.
"What should I do with you?"
Xiyan widened her eyes, looking at the moonlight reflected on the bed curtains, waiting for this silent torment to end.
She could clearly feel his violent heartbeat, hitting her back again and again through the thin fabric of her clothes.
But Xiao Nanyue had no intention of leaving. He just buried his face deeper. The cold fragrance from his body mixed with the hot breath wrapped her up.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiyan's tense nerves gradually relaxed as he breathed deeply.
When sleepiness comes, all stubbornness is lost in the vague darkness.
When the morning light pierced the window lattice, the pillow had long lost its warmth.
Everything that happened last night seemed like an absurd dream. Only the faint teeth marks on her neck and the bruises on her waist reminded her that he had been there.
Xiyan slowly buried her face in her hands, letting her tears flow like a river.
This man, Xiao Nanyan, always cuts open another bleeding wound in her broken heart.
She became more and more determined to escape from his control...
