Chapter 227: Thoughts (Part 1)
Chen Yanchuan suddenly interrupted her, raised his eyelids slightly, and fixed his dark and cold eyes on her. Under the calmness, there seemed to be waves, as if something was about to break free and burst out.
Ye Chutang: “…”
With Chen Yanchuan's connections, she didn't believe that he hadn't heard of the rumors about her and him that had been raging in Beijing recently.
Chen Yanchuan looked at her and spoke casually -
"Besides, who said it was a rumor?"
…
The atmosphere was quiet and subtle.
Ye Chutang's eyelashes twitched slightly, and she silently swallowed back the words in her throat - she couldn't respond to this.
Chen Yanchuan quietly looked at the woman opposite him, trying to see even a trace of emotion on her face.
She was extremely intelligent, so she naturally understood what he meant.
When he said that, he thought of many possibilities, but this one was the one he least wanted to see.
Like a drop of water falling into the sea, it melts away silently without causing any sound, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Yanchuan frowned slightly, tapped his knees lightly with his slender fingers, and looked at the calm and peaceful face of the girl in front of him. For the first time, he felt what it meant to be helpless.
If it were any other woman, even if she had no intention, she would blush upon hearing such words.
She alone showed no reaction.
No one could guess what was in her mind. It was unfathomable, and even getting close to her seemed extremely difficult.
"The prince sent someone to rob Han Tong today. Is it serious?"
Ye Chutang changed the subject and started talking about other things.
Chen Yanchuan stared at her for several seconds, and finally said in a calm voice: "Miss Ye Er, are you worried about this prince?"
Ye Chutang: “…”
She smiled slightly, and said politely: "You saved my life today, so of course I care about you. Besides, the evidence found by the Han family is very likely related to the assassination of my parents and brother."
It is impeccable and decent, yet it seems to be separated by an invisible barrier.
Shen Yanchuan paused and said, “Don’t worry, I have already asked for instructions from His Majesty last night.”
It turned out to be what the above person meant.
This was originally within Ye Chutang's expectations, but after hearing what Chen Yanchuan said, she still let out a sigh of relief: "That's good."
To thoroughly investigate what happened back then, it would take a lot of effort for her and Xu Fengchi alone.
But if the higher-ups knew about the trick, they would definitely investigate it thoroughly, even if just for the sake of face.
Taking advantage of the wind can often save a lot of effort.
Ye Chutang understood that all she had to do was to throw out the trigger, and when the time was right, someone would come to accomplish her goal.
Ye Chutang lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, her dark and sparkling eyes narrowed slightly.
It was just past noon and the sunlight was shining brightly, shining on her face, which looked like the finest mutton-fat jade, warm and delicate.
This made the bloodstains on her slender neck even more glaring.
This action pulled the wound, causing Ye Chutang to frown slightly.
"hiss……"
Shen Yanchuan's heart moved slightly, and he leaned forward unconsciously: "Why, but the wound hurts again?"
Ye Chutang turned around, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It would be fine for others, but with Chen Yanchuan's eyesight, he should be able to see that she was pretending just now - after all, he was one of the few people who had seen her take action.
Besides, he had been in the north for a long time and had seen many border wars. How could he not see that the wound on her neck was just a shallow flesh wound?
Looking at him now, there seemed to be a hint of unconcealed nervousness between his brows.
Although fleeting, it is unmistakable.
Ye Chutang said frankly: "That's not the case. I just went back late. I don't know how Xiaowu ate. It's time for him to take a nap."
Chen Yanchuan: “…”
