Something seems off about the atmosphere here!
Longbo smiled somewhat awkwardly, turned his head and bowed to the prince: "This old man greets Your Highness. I was being rude."
Xuan Mingye was still lost in thought and remained silent: "Uncle Long, is something the matter?"
"I heard that the Old Man of the Underworld has arrived. Where...where has he gone?" Uncle Long came after hearing from Uncle Cai that he had seen the Old Man of the Underworld.
Yunhe thought that Uncle Long came because he cared about their master, but he didn't expect that he came for their master's master.
She didn't know much about the Netherworld Old Daoist before, and it was only from the young master's words that she learned that the young master had saved the Netherworld Old Daoist by a twist of fate, while the Netherworld Old Daoist had saved the seriously injured old valley master.
However, upon hearing that he was her master's teacher, her eyes were filled with adoration. Unfortunately, this elusive and mysterious master, it was said, had disappeared last night without a trace, leaving no trace of her master.
"Wu Xie greets Uncle Long!" Wu Xie bowed respectfully to Uncle Long, then said calmly, "He said he had some matters to resolve and left last night."
"That old bastard is so inconsiderate! He didn't even say hello. Humph, we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, it's infuriating!" Uncle Long's face darkened as soon as he heard this. Nothing was more important than seeing his brothers.
brother?
Both Bu Yu and Wu Xie were surprised. They never expected that Qian Youxue's master could be on such friendly terms with him. It was clear that this person's background was extraordinary.
Xuan Mingye didn't know who Long Bo was talking about, but judging from Long Bo's expression, he already knew that this was a very powerful person, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.
Hmph!
Long Bo cleared his throat, his hands behind his back in extreme frustration: "Fine, if you're not here, I'll go back. Your Highness, I'll leave you to trouble the young master and Mr. Buyu."
Bu Yu and Wu Xie bowed to Uncle Long at the same time. After Uncle Long left, Qian Youxue on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
Actually, she woke up when Longbo entered the room. Only after hearing Longbo mention the stinky old Taoist master did she realize that everything that had happened was not a dream.
That old rascal, he just showed up and then disappeared again. Did he go off to meet his lover somewhere?
However, to her surprise, the old Taoist priest could actually be on friendly terms with Uncle Long, which suggests that the old Taoist priest's cultivation level was under some control in the dream.
"You're finally awake. How are you feeling?" Wu Xie looked at Qian Youxue on the bed with concern.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely have a couple of drinks with you." Qian Youxue really missed the days when she went out to eat and drink with Wuxie. Now that she's a caged bird with a jealous husband watching her, such things are probably going to be a thing of the past.
hehe……
Wu Xie gave a wicked smile and gave Qian Youxue a look that said she wanted to die.
Qian Youxue followed Wu Xie's gaze and saw the man's dark face. She really wanted to throw a pillow at him. How was she supposed to live with such a boring man?
Bu Yu couldn't manage a smile, so he gave Wu Xie a look. Wu Xie understood and remained silent, then followed Bu Yu out with his hands behind his back.
Seeing the two leave, the others tactfully left them a place to talk, and after they left, the door was closed from the outside.
The expression on someone's face was priceless; dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled—was this the prelude to an impending storm?
Qian Youxue clearly felt that the air in the room had gotten much colder. She shivered, pulled the blanket up higher, and wished she could cover her face with it.
Xuan Mingye walked to the bedside and sat down, grabbed her hand that was about to pull away, and kissed the back of her hand: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I made you suffer."
Well……
What's going on here?
Isn't he jealous and angry?
This attitude caught Qian Youxue off guard. When she met his affectionate gaze, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
That's terrifying!
She forced a weak smile, forcefully pulled her hand out of his grasp, and pulled the blanket over her head, not wanting to see his face.
Xuan Mingye thought she was angry, so instead of domineeringly pulling off the covers as before, she sat blankly on the edge of the bed and looked at him.
What's wrong with him?
Qian Youxue's heart was pounding with anxiety. Her body was a little weak, but after Wuxie's treatment, she was noticeably better than before, at least able to get out of bed and move around normally. However, she probably couldn't use her spiritual power.
She herself found it strange; how could she become so vulnerable just from being pregnant?
She knew that a doctor cannot heal himself, so she would ask Wuxie later to see what was wrong with her body.
It's just that this guy won't leave, which is really annoying.
After a long pause, Xuan Mingye spoke: "Wu Xie is right. It was I who failed to protect you properly. I have fought on the battlefield for many years, yet I never imagined that I could not even protect the woman I love, and almost lost you and our child. I'm sorry, please forgive me?"
Well……
The sun is about to rise in the west; this usually arrogant devil has apologized so sincerely?
Qian Youxue peered into the man's eyes, curiously observing him. Seeing his face full of self-reproach and heartache, a chord deep within her heart stirred.
"Um... um... I'm fine now, aren't I?" she said in a slightly coquettish voice.
Xuan Mingye's eyes lit up when he heard her voice, and he grabbed her hand again: "Give me some time, and I will give you and the child a peaceful life."
How could a comfortable life be possible?
Unless he doesn't want to be an emperor, the concubines in the harem are troublesome enough, so where is there any peace and tranquility?
There's no way Qian Youxue would believe such a promise!
“I have never been interested in that position; I only wanted to avenge my mother as soon as possible. Now that the poison and curse in my body have been cured, I no longer need to hide like before.” Xuan Mingye saw through Qian Youxue’s thoughts and decided to speak his mind.
Is it true or false?
Qian Youxue said she still couldn't believe it.
"You'll soon see the truth. Get some rest, and let me know if you need anything. However, it's best if you don't see Miss Hua for the time being." Xuan Mingye's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when he mentioned Hua Yujie.
Qian Youxue thought about it carefully and quickly understood the meaning behind his words. However, she believed that even if Hua Duanlian really had some kind of relationship with the Empress Dowager, Hua Duanli was probably innocent. Someone like Hua Duanli, who was indifferent to worldly affairs, would definitely not like to pay too much attention to matters of state.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. Besides, this is also to protect Miss Hua. Also, before things calm down, I will tell them to keep your pregnancy a secret. Just these few people know." Xuan Mingye knew the Empress Dowager's methods. If the Empress Dowager knew that Hua Yujie and Youxue had a good relationship, it would be dangerous for Hua Yujie.
