"Yan Ji, do you no longer need to ask for my permission when doing things?"
Yan Ji was also obviously startled by the sudden appearance of Helian Rongxia. She lowered her head and said with a trembling voice, but still in a firm tone:
"Yan Ji knows that this matter was not approved by the king, and the king will punish me. However, Ye Jinyun has lost her usefulness and has made the king passive. Therefore, I think she should be killed. At least if she dies, Mo Qiyuan will be accused of disregarding his queen's life for profit."
Helian Rongxia frowned and stared at her sinisterly.
"You don't need to ask about this matter. I have my own plans. This time you attacked her without permission. Since you have just recovered, I will forgive you for now. If you do it again, you will go straight to the torture chamber."
Yan Ji frowned and wanted to say something else, but when she looked up and saw Helian Rongxia's sharp eyes, she swallowed her words and changed them to:
"Yes, I thank the king for his forgiveness."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Jinyun with a complicated look, then turned and left the stone chamber.
After she left, Helian Rongxia turned around and looked Ye Jinyun up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, his expression softened.
"Today's incident was caused by my failure to discipline her properly, causing Lady Yun to be frightened."
Ye Jinyun didn't notice his change. She was thinking about what Bai Ruoli had just said. What did Mo Qiyuan mean by threatening Helian Rongxia in turn? Did Mo Qiyuan find a way to deal with Helian Rongxia?
"Your Majesty Helian, I dare to ask you a question. What did Bai Ruoli, oh, should I say Yan Ji, mean when she said that I had put Your Majesty Helian in a passive position?"
Helian Rongxia heard the words and smiled his usual devilish smile, staring into Ye Jinyun's eyes and said:
"Mrs. Yun, do you still remember the bet I made with you a few days ago? Unexpectedly, neither you nor I guessed the outcome correctly. Mo Qiyuan didn't do what I wanted, offering cities and land in exchange for you, nor did he abandon you like you thought.
He actually came up with a good idea. He actually used the lives of thousands of people in my Beirong to threaten me. If I don't return you, he will massacre the city. Such a cruel method is completely different from his previous style of hard work and love for the people.
In the end, Yun Meiren holds a great weight in his heart. Even if it means being branded a tyrant, he is willing to risk his life for her.”
Ye Jinyun was surprised. Mo Qiyuan actually planned to massacre the people of Beirong in order to gamble with Helian Rongxia. Wasn't he afraid that Helian Rongxia didn't care about the lives of the people at all?
He is a big pervert. How could a pervert feel sympathy for the lives of ants?
As she was thinking this, she saw Helian Rongxia approaching her step by step, and finally forced Ye Jinyun back and pressed her against the wall.
He rested one hand on the wall beside Ye Jinyun's ear and lifted her chin with the other hand, making her look at him.
This scene is so ambiguous. Isn't this a typical wall-dong scene?
But Ye Jinyun felt that the atmosphere was not ambiguous at all, because she heard Helian Rongxia say to her as she expected:
"But why would I care about the lives of those people? If he wants to kill me, then go ahead and kill me. I won't be threatened by anyone, hahahaha~"
When Ye Jinyun heard that he, a king, was so indifferent to the lives of the people, he couldn't help but feel angry. He stared at his evil face and raised his hand to give him a big slap in the face.
Helian Rongxia seemed to have not expected that she would actually reach out to hit him, and he froze in his tracks. After coming to his senses, he half-closed his dangerous eyes, approached her and said:
"No one has ever dared to hit me. Aren't you afraid, Miss Yun, that I might kill you?"
As he spoke, he moved the hand that was lifting Ye Jinyun's chin down to her throat and stroked it. Ye Jinyun naturally heard the alarm in her head that Helian Rongxia had murderous intentions towards her at this moment.
But she was really furious just now, and she couldn't relieve her anger unless she slapped him. Such a cold-blooded and ruthless person who despised life deserved to be beaten.
So even though she was afraid, she still glared at Helian Rongxia:
"King Helian is the king of the Northern Rong, yet he has disregarded the lives of the people. Shouldn't he be defeated? If the people of the Northern Rong knew that their revered king was such a selfish and incompetent ruler who disregarded the lives of his people, wouldn't they be disheartened?"
Helian Rongxia laughed softly when he heard her say this:
"I have never cared whether I can win the hearts of the people or not. Call me a villain or a tyrant, these righteousness of the people can't do anything to me.
However, since Lady Yun is speaking up for them, I will grant Mo Qiyuan's wish. Doesn't he want me to return the Queen of Daqi to him? Then why don't I just give her back? I'm sure Lady Yun will be happy with that."
What does that mean? Is he willing to let me go?
Ye Jinyun felt it was impossible. She didn't believe that Helian Rongxia would be so merciful as to let her go.
Helian Rongxia looked at the beauty whose expression changed so quickly and knew what she was thinking.
So he leaned over to her ear and whispered softly:
"How could I bear to let Lady Yun go? I only said I would return her as a queen, but I didn't say I would return Lady Yun herself. Wouldn't it be better if I could just let someone take your place as the queen of Da Qi? Lady Yun, you will never be able to escape from me in this life."
He spoke these words very softly in Ye Jinyun's ear. His magnetic voice and gentle tone were so bewitching that it was hard to describe.
Even Ye Jinyun was slightly dazed after hearing this, but fortunately she knew what kind of person Helian Rongxia was, so she did not fall into it.
But although she was awake, the man in front of her could not help but be fascinated by the fragrance emanating from her neck after he whispered these words into her ear.
