Chapter 177: Unspoken Lovesickness (7)



Yun Chu directly pulled Tan Tai Sheng away and immediately felt refreshed. Li Jinghao must be pissed to death by her now.

When they came out, Yunchu's hand was still holding Tantai Sheng's arm. She snorted and laughed: "Haha, Li Jinghao must be pissed to death by us now!"

She just smiled like that, completely different from when she faced Li Jinghao just now, as if this was the real her.

Tan Tai Sheng unconsciously reached out and stroked her ear, feeling a slight itch. Yun Chu then tilted her head to look at him.

She tiptoed and leaned close to Tan Tai Sheng's ear: "Tan Tai Sheng, aren't you afraid? Am I really sent by Li Jingyun to assassinate you?"

She said it so seriously, but Tan Tai Sheng asked back: "Can you?"

If she was really like that, he would feel that the things he brought from the Central Plains about her identity might all be false.

The rumors that she was Li Jingyun's sweetheart and that Li Jingyun raised a lover for her seemed to have been refuted.

With her small body, if she wants to kill him, she still has to consider her own strength.

Maybe she would be killed by herself the moment she attacked.

Yunchu didn't answer him, but just kept walking.

As they walked, they came to a place selling kites. Yunchu picked up a swallow-shaped kite at random and looked at it carefully in his hand.

Tan Tai Sheng had already taken out the money and was ready to pay.

Yunchu stopped him, saying, "I've seen princesses playing with this when they were little in the palace before."

"I wanted to go with them at that time, but Li Jingyun would be angry."

"I'm already this old now, and it would seem childish of me to play this game again."

The original owner had never played it before, and Li Jingyun preferred her to play the piano and paint.

"Then this is it."

He handed the money to the stall owner and tugged at the tangled string at the back: "Only try things you haven't tried before."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the kite and took her out of the city, finally stopping on the vast yellow sand.

Yunchu looked up at the hardworking Sun God and asked uncertainly, "Dantai Sheng, you're not planning on flying a kite here, are you?"

Tan Tai Sheng shrugged. There were no grasslands in the Western Regions like in the Central Plains, so he could only do it here. It was the same when he was with Axuan and the others when he was a child.

At this moment, a breeze happened to blow, ruffling her skirt and hair. She saw the man and smiled slightly, saying, "The wind is blowing!"

After saying that, he ran forward, and the kite behind him flew higher and higher. He circled around and handed the tail end to her again, "Do you want to try it?"

Yunchu nodded, took the things in her hand, and walked slowly on the yellow sand.

She suddenly stopped and looked at Tan Tai Sheng: "Tan Tai Sheng, I actually had the answer to the question you just asked a long time ago."

Tan Tai Sheng took two steps forward, and just as he was about to frown, he heard the girl continue to speak. Her voice was extremely calm, as if she had thought about this problem more than once.

"I was indeed sent by Li Jingyun to kill you, but I will not lay a hand on you."

She sighed, as if deep in thought, "If you die, the Western Region will be completely conquered. I don't want to see those warm-hearted people of the Western Region become homeless, nor do I want to see the innocent Ah Xuan finally blinded by hatred."

Tan Tai Sheng stood behind her and said, "Actually, I knew it the first time I saw you."

How could a person who opened her eyes in difficult situations, endured physical discomfort, and broke the hands of those who bullied her, who was so calm in such circumstances, be willing to become a dodder that depends on a man for survival?

She should live freely and unrestrainedly like an eagle flying freely in the desert.

Even if she liked Li Jingyun, she would never be willing to lose her freedom for him.

Her eyebrows curved, and she seemed a little displeased: "Ah, if you knew it earlier, then you must have known that I was sent by Li Jingyun to kill you~"

"Then you let me stay, are you really not afraid of death?"

Tan Tai Sheng smiled and shook his head, wanting to reach out and pinch her puffy little face, but just as he stretched out his hand, he felt that their relationship should not be so close, and knocked his outstretched wrist down.

"You don't have the ability to kill me."

"Do you think I'm being looked down upon?"

She put her hands on her hips angrily, feeling looked down upon.

"Hmm~" He lowered his eyes, looked at her height which just reached his shoulders, and then looked at her slender white wrist exposed in the sunlight.

With her thin arms and legs, she could probably only hold a small dagger. The spear he often used could have overwhelmed her.

She raised her head and pursed her lips: "Don't underestimate me, if you provoke me, I will make your life more painful than death!"

Tan Tai Sheng nodded in agreement, "Women are the most vicious. I'm so scared~"

He suddenly sped up, and by the time Yunchu realized that he was mocking her, he had already walked a long way away.

She was furious behind him: "Tan Tai Sheng, what I said is true!"

When the two returned to the palace room, Yunchu saw the letter on the table at a glance.

Furong was standing nearby. Seeing Yunchu's gaze, she took the initiative to explain, "This was sent by the young master. He said the princess was crying about missing home last night, so he prepared this letter for you."

Yunchu looked at the letter paper and rummaged around the room casually. Her pretty eyebrows were almost twisted into knots.

He only gave her letter paper, but no pen or ink!

She stretched out her white fingers, her eyes full of confusion. Did Tan Tai Sheng want her to bite her finger to write a letter so as to scare Li Jingyun to death?!

"Furong, can you help me ask Tan Tai Sheng for a pen and inkstone?"

Furong leaned forward and walked out of the room, but saw Tan Tai Sheng coming in. She immediately noticed the pen and inkstone in his hands.

Just as she was about to go in and tell Yunchu, she was stopped by Tan Tai Sheng. After thinking about it, he decided to send Furong away.

Just now, Tan Tai Ye came to him and said that he felt that the maidservant beside Yun Chu was not simple.

In fact, he also knew that there was no way Li Jingyun would send only Yunchu to assassinate him.

"I sent someone to invite the chefs from the Central Plains. They don't speak Chinese well, so you can go and help them."

Furong looked at Yunchu in the room and saw a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but since the order was in front of her, she could only nod.

Tan Tai Sheng then entered the room. The girl was sitting at the table with a pile of stationery on it. Her eyes were lifeless and she held her chin up. She didn't even notice him coming in.

It was not until Tan Tai Sheng approached and placed the inkstone on the table with a heavy thud that she came to her senses and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the inkstone in front of her.

"Ah? Furong, you're so quick. You're back so soon?"

Until she raised her eyes, she met those amber eyes full of tenderness and affection.
