Chapter 9: A pair of familiar eyes



"Let go—"

Su Liyue uttered two words with difficulty, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked somewhat sad and moving, but there was a glimmer of unyielding spirit in her eyes, which made her look particularly attractive.

At this moment, Su Liyue had a unique kind of beauty.

However, even though there was a beauty, there was not a trace of appreciation in Ye Cangming's eyes.

After all, for Ye Cangming, if she is not the one in his heart, no matter how beautiful the other woman is, she is just a decoration in his eyes, no different from a vase in the hall.

However, when he met Su Liyue's eyes, Ye Cangming's cold eyes couldn't help but become dazed.

Those eyes...actually gave him a sense of déjà vu, and they were exactly the same as the eyes of the person he thought about day and night.

How could that be?

Ye Cangming looked dazed, and his hands loosened slightly at this moment.

Now is the time!

When Su Liyue felt the suffocating feeling disappear, she seized the opportunity and quickly pulled out the hairpin on her head.

For a moment, her long black hair was scattered, so beautiful.

However, no one cares.

The hand holding the hairpin stabbed towards Ye Cangming's neck quickly, accurately and ruthlessly without any hesitation.

As for the consequences, Su Liyue never thought about it.

After all, what matters now is her life.

And fighting back is instinctive.

Everything happened in an instant, very quickly.

At this time, Su Liyue still had the ability to fight back, which was something Ye Cangming had never thought of.

Fortunately, Ye Cangming was extraordinarily alert to danger, so even though he was distracted, he still managed to dodge Su Liyue's fatal attack with quick movements.

At the same time, he pushed Su Liyue to the side without controlling the strength in his hand.

Su Liyue hit the wall of the carriage heavily, making a "bang" sound. Su Liyue gritted her teeth to endure the pain and did not make a sound.

"My Lord, are you in serious trouble?"

At this time, Linchuan's slightly worried voice came from outside the carriage. Obviously he heard the movement in the carriage.

Lin Chuan's voice broke the tense atmosphere in the carriage, and Ye Cangming's anger slowly dissipated. He only glanced at Su Liyue coldly before saying in a deep voice, "It's okay."

After Ye Cangming finished speaking, there was an obvious silence outside for a while.

Then, Linchuan reported, "An old man driving an ox cart hit the prince's carriage. What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cangming ordered without a second thought, "Send him to Jingzhao Prefecture."

The voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.

Su Liyue listened to Linchuan ordering the guards to take the old man away, and heard the old man's miserable voice begging for mercy. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, and there was a hint of dullness in her eyes when she looked at Ye Cangming.

At this moment, she realized that although the man in front of her was a war king and protected the people, he was also cold-hearted.

After all, he crashed into the prince's carriage and was just an ordinary citizen. If he was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture, he would probably not be able to come back alive.

And she just accidentally touched a place she shouldn't have touched, which was understandable, but she was almost strangled to death by him...

When it came to Ye Cangming, she initially viewed him as a god of war.

However, what does it matter if Ye Cangming defends his country? As a member of the royal family who holds the power of life and death, doesn’t he still disregard life and even beat women?

Thinking of this, Su Liyue looked away and gently rubbed her shoulder that was hurt by the collision, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She must quickly find out the truth of what happened five years ago and clear her name, and then she can leave Prince Zhan's Mansion.

During this period, she must also develop her own power.

Otherwise, a divorced woman would have had a hard time in ancient times.

Su Liyue closed her eyes, seemingly taking a nap, but in fact she began to plan for her future.

The carriage soon continued to move forward.

Although the atmosphere in the carriage was a little weird, the two of them finally arrived at the palace peacefully without interfering with each other.

When the carriage arrived, Ye Cangming was the first to get off.

After Ye Cangming left, Su Liyue opened her eyes, tied her hair up again, and got off the carriage.

It wasn't that she was procrastinating, but after facing death twice in just a few days, her body was affected and she was a little tired.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Su Liyue was dumbfounded.

Because, in such a huge palace square, where could Ye Cangming and his servants be seen?

Not to mention Ye Cangming, she didn’t even see a person.

The original owner had never entered the palace...or rather, she had no memory of entering the palace.

How could she get to the Empress Dowager's palace just like that?

No matter how well-mannered she was, Su Liyue couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse Ye Cangming a thousand times in her heart.

She dared to believe that Ye Cangming definitely did it on purpose.

Otherwise, how could he disappear in just a short while?

Bah! Stingy.

However, no matter how angry she was, Su Liyue didn't dare to stay there any longer.

She had watched a little bit of palace fighting drama...really just a little bit. In short, she knew very well that if Ye Cangming arrived at the Queen Mother first and she was late, she would definitely be held accountable.

Thinking of this, Su Liyue could only bite the bullet and move forward, not daring to delay at all.

On the other side, Ye Cangming and his servant were already walking in the imperial garden, their steps leisurely, with no intention of rushing to see the empress dowager.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but look back, but he still bravely asked cautiously, "Prince, are we really not waiting for the princess?"

The marriage has not been completed, and the Queen Mother will definitely be furious today, and if nothing unexpected happens, the princess will be held accountable.

In this situation, if the princess does not arrive in time, the consequences will be even more serious.

It's not that Linchuan cares about Su Liyue, it's just...

Linchuan looked at Ye Cangming carefully, thinking that what happened today was ultimately due to the prince not wanting to marry, and he felt a little sympathetic towards Su Liyue.

However, just as Linchuan was thinking this, he met Ye Cangming's cold eyes.

"What else? You wait for her?" The cold voice was without any warmth, but it made people extremely frightened.

Lin Chuan suddenly shuddered, his body immediately straightened up, like standing at attention, and said spinelessly, "I didn't say anything just now."

Seeing this, Ye Cangming withdrew his gaze.

However, Su Liyue's eyes were still replaying in his mind, and the face under the mask couldn't help but become a little gloomy.

Such a tainted woman actually had eyes so similar to his Jiuer...

Well, I really want to dig it out.

As he thought of this, Ye Cangming's aura became noticeably heavier.

Linchuan who was following behind him: "..." He wanted to slap himself a few times.

He's a bit of a mouth! What should I do now? Master, please don't think of taking your anger out on him!

When Linchuan prayed like this in his heart, Ye Cangming's eyes suddenly tightened.

The next moment, he disappeared in front of Linchuan without any warning.

Linchuan was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes to look in the direction where Ye Cangming left, his expression suddenly changed.
