Yu Nian looked up at him, only to see his red lips slightly parted as he said silently, "Don't say anything more."
It was not until Bai Yuheng took him out of the queen's bedroom that Yu Nian felt the cold sweat on his body subside a little.
"Your Highness, I was a bit presumptuous in my words today." Bai Yuheng stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his thin waist outlined by the white clothes looked even more slender. He lowered his head slightly and spoke to Yu Nian.
"I, I understand..."
"It seems that Your Highness is indeed very fond of this hostage, but a hostage is still a hostage after all. If His Majesty knew that you are so deeply in love with him, I am afraid it would bring disaster to him." Bai Yuheng explained lightly.
The sunset glow was like a painting, reflected on the man's pure white clothes and face, like a scroll painted by nature.
The sunset glow softened his graceful jawline, creating a mixture of light and dark. The orange-red clouds in the sky seemed to fall on the plain white brocade covering his eyes.
Yu Nian suddenly wanted to uncover the brocade and see the secret hidden underneath.
What do those eyes look like?
Will it be as beautiful as the sunset?
"Where are you going?" Yu Nian asked when he saw Bai Yuheng suddenly turn around and leave.
"Return to the Imperial Master's Mansion."
"Aren't you going to teach me the blessing dance? If I don't learn it today, there will only be fourteen days left..." Fifteen days of learning to dance would kill her, let alone fourteen days.
Bai Yuheng paused slightly, the corners of his mouth rising slightly, "There are only fifteen days left."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Yu Nian to ask any more questions.
Only a faint cold fragrance remains.
"The fifteenth? Does that mean he just lied to the Queen?" Yu Nian muttered, pondering while trying to find the way back.
Then she wandered around for a long time and unfortunately found herself lost.
Yu Nian scratched her head. Where did she come from just now?
Is the Queen's palace so big?
Just when Yu Nian thought he would circle around this place a few more times, a cat's meow suddenly sounded beside the grass.
“Meow—meow—”
The cat's meow was a little hoarse, and Yu Nian parted the grass to find the poor little guy.
It is snow-white and quite heavy.
Yu Nian grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and almost failed to lift it up.
"Little kitty, why are you here?" She held the fat little cat in her arms and pinched its pink paw pads.
No one knew who raised the cat, but it was so fat and strong that its limbs were almost as thick as her wrists.
The white cat wagged its tail, turned around and jumped out of Yu Nian's arms.
It took a few steps forward with a domineering stride, turned around and found that Yu Nian did not follow it, so it ran back to her feet and rubbed against her, then raised its head and meowed.
"Are you... leading the way for me?" Yu Nian asked doubtfully.
The white cat meowed, and Yu Nian followed behind it, wanting to see what it was going to do.
It was not until Yu Nian saw the familiar gate and wanted to thank the little white cat for leading her, but she found that she could not find it anywhere.
"Your Highness, you're out!" Jing Mo had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. When he saw Yu Nian's figure, he immediately went to greet her.
Yu Nian still didn't find the white cat.
Never mind, I'll see where it goes next time.
Yu Nian kept her benefactor in her heart and left with Jing Mo.
"Where is Ye Luo? Where did he go?" Yu Nian asked Jing Mo when she didn't see him at the door.
Jing Mo: "I remember he went west."
Yu Nian didn't know the directions, so he asked him to lead the way.
On the eaves, the white cat walked with elegant steps and watched the little female leave.
"Where did the cat come from?!" Feixing smelled something and looked up to see a wild cat strutting around on the roof of the palace without any fear.
You know, Her Majesty the Queen hates cats the most, and they are not allowed to exist in the royal palace.
Feixing leaped onto the roof with one quick step. The white cat meowed at him provocatively twice, running very fast and gracefully. Feixing was afraid of offending His Majesty, so he didn't dare to use his supernatural powers for a moment, and let the white cat run away.
Yu Nian had no idea that her little benefactor was no ordinary white cat. With Jing Mo's guidance, she finally found Ye Luo sitting and taking a rest in a pavilion not far away.
The man leaned back in his armchair and slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps. "It took you so long to come out."
He made a sound, neither loud nor soft, that sounded like he was complaining.
Jing Mo has always been displeased with Ye Luo's behavior, "Your Highness is here, why don't you stand up and salute!"
Ye Luo lazily stood up and asked Yu Nian, "Your Highness, is it done?"
Yu Nian had originally promised him that she would definitely forgive him, but now even half of the promise hadn't been fulfilled. She couldn't help but hesitate: "The Queen Mother didn't agree to all of it, but she said that if I..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Luo interrupted him: "Then it didn't work."
"Your Highness, you are not keeping your word."
His tone was nonchalant, and his golden eyes looked at Yu Nian with a cold metallic luster.
"I will find a way to deal with this matter." Even if Yu Nian didn't consider Ye Luo, he had to consider his own sleep.
Anyone who has a villain kneeling outside his house who wants to skin you alive will also be unable to sleep at night.
Ye Luo chuckled and did not comment on her words.
Someone who has broken his promise once is not worthy of trust again.
What’s more, this was a vicious female who almost beat him to death.
When Yu Nian returned to her bedroom, Han Chen was already waiting at the palace gate. When he saw her, the worry in his eyes eased a little.
"You go and guard His Highness's palace, and report to me in time if there is anything unusual." Han Chen said to Jing Mo.
The latter nodded and left.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready." Han Chen said.
Yu Nian nodded and let him lead the way into the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, several androids dressed as servants stood by the dining table, carrying plates.
Han Chen saw Yu Nian standing there and whispered, "Your Highness, you can tell the android: It's time to eat."
Yu Nian said to the dull-looking androids, "It's time to eat."
The bionic people seemed to have turned off the pause button, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became lively. Their postures were basically the same as those of humans, except for some inhuman lags when switching between movements.
Yu Nian looked at the dozen or so exquisite side dishes on the table and sat down on the chair that Han Chen pulled out for her.
She was just about to pick up her chopsticks and start eating when she suddenly noticed that there was such a large table filled with exquisite dishes, but she was the only one sitting there.
"Han Chen, Ye Luo, why don't you sit down and eat with me."
Han Chen shook his head and said, "I cannot overstep the bounds."
Ye Luo, who was standing aside, did not hesitate at all. He pulled out the chair farthest from Yu Nian and sat down. He picked up the chopsticks and started to taste the food as if no one was around.
"Your Highness the Hostage, His Highness hasn't started using his chopsticks yet, how can you start using them first!" Han Chen said coldly.
Ye Luo curled his lips: "His Highness didn't say anything, why are you shouting here? Are you going to make the decision for your dear Highness?"
