Chapter 25 The Regent broke into her boudoir at night?
Lan Xiyue walked into her boudoir leisurely. However, the moment she stepped into the door, she couldn't help but become alert.
In the room, a blurry figure sat quietly at the table.
Lan Xiyue was startled and didn't have time to think. She flashed and rushed towards the figure beside the table like an arrow.
Her movements were swift and sharp, obviously the result of rigorous training.
A cold and familiar voice sounded in the room: "It turned out to be you that night."
The sound was like a cold wind blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples and causing Lan Xiyue to suddenly stop moving.
She was stunned. She was very familiar with this voice. It was the powerful and ruthless regent - Mo Liyuan.
There was still no candle lit in the room, only moonlight filtering through the window lattice, casting patches of light on the two of them.
With the faint light, Lan Xiyue could barely see Mo Liyuan's face.
His face was stern, his eyes were as deep as cold stars, and he was now slowly approaching her in a dangerous posture.
Lan Xiyue secretly complained in her heart. This damn system didn't even remind her that the person in the room was the Regent! While secretly complaining, she tried to adjust her breathing and calm herself down.
"System, get out here!"
system:"………"
Mo Liyuan obviously didn't give her this chance. He pinched Lan Xiyue's neck lightly with his fingers.
"Woman, how do you want to die?" His voice was low and cold.
Lan Xiyue was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, and her face turned red instantly.
She was filled with shock and anger. Why did the Regent come to her room in the middle of the night? And the system, this unreliable guy, actually failed at the critical moment!
"Or, you can let go of my neck first and we can have a good talk." Lan Xiyue squeezed out a few words with difficulty. She never expected that this high and mighty regent would appear in her boudoir.
Mo Liyuan snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with her reaction: "Hmm?" His fingers exerted a little more force, and Lan Xiyue felt as if her throat was tightly clamped by an iron clamp, making it extremely difficult to breathe.
"Regent, you came to my room in the middle of the night. Could it be that you have fallen in love with me?" Lan Xiyue's heart moved and she suddenly spoke.
Mo Liyuan obviously wasn't buying it. He said coldly, "Woman, don't talk nonsense with me. Tell me who ordered you to break into the palace and assassinate me that night."
Lan Xiyue was at a loss for words when she heard this: "Ah? Assassination? Prince Regent, you must be kidding. I love you so much, how could I assassinate you?"
Mo Liyuan obviously didn't believe her and pressed his fingers harder.
Lan Xiyue only felt a sharp pain in her throat, as if it would break at any time.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Well, can you let go first and let's talk properly?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, he finally let go of his hand.
Lan Xiyue was freed and immediately gasped for breath.
"explain!"
Lan Xiyue's heart was surging like a raging sea. "If I told you I just wanted to kidnap you that night to rack up points, would you believe me? If you weren't trying to rack up points, do you think I would show weakness to you? Would I let you strangle me so easily?"
Mo Liyuan sat on the chair with an upright posture, and his sculptured face looked even more profound in the dim room.
His eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring at Lan Xiyue closely, "What, you haven't made up a reason yet?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of imperceptible amusement.
Lan Xiyue waved her hands quickly, "Prince, you're trying to make excuses, bah! No, listen to my explanation. I just don't like you anymore, so I wanted to go to your palace and kidnap you, so that I could make it a done deal. Who knew that once I entered the palace, it was so huge, and there were so many people in the dark. I just casually walked into a courtyard, sighing that there was no one there, but I didn't expect to be so lucky and meet you like this. Who knew you were so powerful? You discovered me as soon as I entered."
Mo Liyuan simply raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of teasing in his eyes. "Oh? Do you love me so much? You wouldn't hesitate to break into the palace at night to kidnap me? Isn't it the Crown Prince you love?"
Lan Xiyue quickly raised two fingers, her expression serious: "The Crown Prince is a thing of the past. You are the only one in my heart now. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have saved you in the hills behind Xiangguo Temple that day. Really, I mean it."
Mo Liyuan looked at her deeply, his deep eyes seeming to swallow her whole. "Who did you learn this skill from? Why haven't I heard that Miss Lan has such skills?"
Lan Xiyue let out an awkward smile. "Oh! I'm self-taught, so I'm just average. I'm no match for you, after all. How can I be so great? I just have a few tricks up my sleeve."
Mo Liyuan changed the subject: "Miss Lan, dressed like this at this hour of night, are you going out to steal?" There was a hint of joking and teasing in his tone, and he was obviously curious about Lan Xiyue's night outfit.
Lan Xiyue was stunned, obviously not expecting him to suddenly change the subject.
After she realized what was happening, she immediately said, "What kind of thief am I? I just went to teach the nanny who bullied my maid a lesson."
Mo Liyuan glared at her, "Miss Lan, you better not be lying. Otherwise, I'll let you know what it means to live a life worse than death."
There was a hint of threat and coldness in his tone, which made Lan Xiyue shiver involuntarily.
Lan Xiyue reacted and cursed in her heart, thinking that she was useless.
Lan Xiyue looked at him lovingly and blinked, "Your Highness, everything I said is true. I did want to kidnap you that night, but I didn't want to kill you. I just... I just..."
Before she finished speaking, Lan Xiyue lowered her head pretending to be shy.
Lan Xiyue picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Mo Liyuan looked at her without moving.
Lan Xiyue pretended to be shy and said, "Your Majesty, I have really fallen in love with you and I can't help myself."
System: "One hundred points have been credited."
"Dead system, you just pretended to be dead, and now you show up?"
System: "Host, don't waste your time earning points. This system just malfunctioned."
Lan Xiyue also thought about points, but now she was too lazy to argue with the system.
"My Lord, I'm getting thinner every day I think about you."
………
Mo Liyuan couldn't explain why. This woman was chattering all the time, but he sat there as steady as a rock and listened to her tell lies, such as how she loved him and missed him so much that she had lost weight. However, he no longer felt disgusted with her. He didn't even notice that he was in a good mood, with a slight smile on his lips.
Lan Xiyue didn't know how long she had been talking, her throat was sore that it felt like it was smoking. She took the tea that she had just poured for Mo Liyuan and drank it down with a gulp.
