Chapter 105 This evil spirit changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!
Not long after, Ming Yan hurried over, a cold look on his face:
"The prince has ordered that Miss Xiyan no longer needs to stay here from today onwards. Please leave immediately."
Manluo's face froze, then she reacted:
"This evil spirit changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book! Yesterday he was holding me, playing the piano and chess, being so affectionate with me, and now..."
"Manluo!"
Xiyan stopped Manluo. At this moment, she was already dressed:
"Let's go, this place doesn't belong to me."
When she stood up, she glanced at the corner of the brocade box exposed beside the pillow, and finally without hesitation, she pulled Manluo out of the bedroom.
After leaving Liuyunxuan, Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking under the eaves, the morning mist spread over the vermilion walls, shrouding her figure in semi-light and semi-darkness, making her look like someone walking out of a painting.
She looked at the fallen petals in the yard that were blown away by the wind and suddenly chuckled:
"I am a rootless duckweed, more suited to the vast universe."
Manluo sighed helplessly:
"You, you missed an opportunity to climb up the ladder. How many people long to shed their status as death warriors and obtain the antidote to the Red Loyalty Gu. Including me... am I not the same? Who would want to hide their identity all day, fighting and killing, and even dare not reveal their true face?"
"Xiao Nanyan, I'm afraid the wedding is coming soon!"
Xiyan suddenly said this.
Manluo was slightly startled: "Who will be the future princess?"
"Helian Shu!"
"she?"
Manluo rolled her eyes:
"If she comes in, how can we live comfortably? That woman is two-faced, sweet-mouthed, and vicious!"
Then, she seemed to react:
"So, you just said that on purpose for Xiao Nanyan to hear. He's so cold and aloof, he definitely won't lower himself for you again. Do you want him to give you up?"
Xi Yan raised her eyes and smiled softly:
"I never dared to imagine what would happen between me and him! It would be more comfortable for me to just be myself again."
Manluo shook her head:
"I don't understand you! If it were me, I wouldn't have so many concerns. So what if she's a concubine? If my wife isn't virtuous, I'll just kill her! With our skills, who can we be afraid of?"
Xiyan curled her lips:
"You're the only one who never considers the consequences. How many people in this world are there who can always help you in times of crisis? I can save you once, twice, but I can't always be by your side. Even I can't protect myself sometimes. So, you better be careful."
Manluo curled her lips and remained noncommittal:
"That's because you have concerns! Unlike me, I'm more selfish. As long as I'm comfortable, why would I care about others?"
Xiyan shook her head slightly:
"I'm just worried that you'll suffer."
Manluo sneered:
"Who knows who will suffer the loss! As long as you don't take chastity so seriously, it's just a matter of each taking what they need."
Xiyan remained silent.
"Xiyan, did you know that Xie Zhan, the Second Prince of Nanzhao, has come to Yandu?"
"For Dongzhu?"
Xiyan instantly thought of the sparkling oriental pearl in Liuyunxuan's bedroom.
"In fact, Dongzhu was stolen and Xu Jingzhen was killed. If Nan Zhao wanted to think of Ge, he would have gotten up long ago. It seems that they came to Tianqi well prepared."
Xie Zhan's smiling face, as bright as the moon and gentle breeze, suddenly emerged in Manluo's mind, and she felt a little melancholy:
"What a pity, it's just against my taste..."
…
Liuyunxuan.
Xiao Nanyue looked at the empty bed. The brocade quilt was half open. A hint of fragrance was condensed on the moon-white satin, which made him feel stuffy in his heart.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a corner of the brocade box sticking out from under the pillow. He bent down to pick it up, and the gilded edge hurt his palm.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, the iridescent color of the South China Sea Pearl filled his eyes with a coldness. It should have been in the hands of that woman, but now it was lying here intact.
His knuckles were white from being pinched, and he slammed the lid of the box shut, pressing the ball of brilliant light into the darkness.
"Such a valuable thing, why don't you cherish it? If others don't want it, you can give it to me!"
Fu Yunqing leaned against the door frame, tapping his palm with his folding fan, and laughed freely.
Xiao Nanyan raised his eyes, his gaze icy:
"You ungrateful thing!"
He cursed under his breath.
Her fingertips stroked the chessboard on the desk, which still bore traces of Xiyan's moves from yesterday.
A single white piece hung in the middle of the chessboard, suddenly obstructing his view. He flipped the chessboard over, and the pieces scattered all over the floor.
"Why are you so angry? If things don't get better in the east, they will get better in the west. Your mother has already asked Helian Cong for permission to marry you this morning. In a few months, Helian Shu will be your princess consort!"
"Is she worthy?" Xiao Nanyue sneered.
"Helian Shu is the emperor's favorite princess, and she's also your cousin. She's been in love with you for a long time. You and I are a perfect match!"
"Helian Cong's plan is quite clear. He wants to use marriage to restrain me?"
Fu Yunqing laughed even more wantonly:
"If your mother hadn't intervened, Helian Cong would have hesitated. I think the Concubine Dowager was thinking about you. She didn't want you and the Helian family to fight and suffer losses."
Xiao Nanyan's eyes were as cold as a deep stream:
"How can I let go of my father's murder so easily? My mother was so obsessed with Buddhism that she could let go of this hatred, but I cannot! Helian Cong's daughter's marriage is also a tactic to stabilize the army, to keep me in check, and to plant a most capable spy in my palace!"
"So what? Do you want to disobey the imperial order and openly become an enemy of the royal family? Or is it that the icy beauty you've been dreaming of isn't willing to marry her?"
Xiao Nanyue suddenly remembered her words "I would rather be a poor man's wife than a concubine of a rich family", and his heart became more and more upset.
"Some people are so ungrateful that all the gold and jade in the room become thorns that prick them."
Fu Yunqing looked at Xiao Nanyan's depressed face and smiled:
"Then Helian Shu, are you going to marry her or not?"
