The room fell into a strange silence.
Yun Shu momentarily forgot to persist.
If not for the fact that her peripheral vision saw his legs trembling more and more violently.
She wouldn't have been able to snap back to her senses.
His face was pale, his dark pupils filled with anger.
"As expected, you can't wait," Zhan Tianye's voice held an unusual mockery, but as soon as he finished speaking, he let go of her hand.
Yun Shu didn't speak. The silver needles in her hand landed on his legs precisely and swiftly.
After his legs stopped trembling, he gazed at her coldly and said, "Leave."
Yun Shu stood up. Sensing her gaze, when she turned around, she could still feel it like needles on her back. For a moment, her steps felt heavy, but she still walked out.
The moment the door closed, Yun Shu's face also turned a cold white.
Hearing the sound of the door, Qiu Lu immediately looked at Yun Shu.
Yun Shu nodded at Qiu Lu.
This was the answer Qiu Lu had been anxiously wanting, yet upon receiving it, he was suddenly stunned. It felt like something was not quite right, but the situation was too urgent for him to think further.
He quickly said to Qian Le'er, "Cousin, you go in."
Qian Le'er clasped her hands together tightly, her heart pounding like a drum. When Yun Shu walked out, her heart jumped into her throat, filled with nervousness. Fortunately, she heard her cousin say she could go in. Although nervous, she couldn't stop her lips from curling upwards, "Ah? Okay, okay! Cousin, don't worry."
As she was about to enter, Uncle Qian grabbed Qian Le'er. He always felt that Prince Ye wouldn't fancy Le'er! "Think carefully, Le'er."
Moreover, for some reason, he always had a bad premonition.
He always felt…
He looked at Yun Shu, who was standing not far from the door. Prince Ye seemed to care more about her.
"Father, don't think anymore! I've already made up my mind!" Qian Le'er was becoming impatient.
Aunt Qian also couldn't make up her mind, "Le'er, Mother knows your thoughts, but what your father said is not wrong. Once you make a decision, you'll have no more choices in the future."
Qian Le'er looked at her hesitant parents, biting her lip, and said impatiently, "Father, Mother, don't worry. This is my own choice! I've never been so resolute before!"
She knew too well that if she missed this chance today, she would definitely have no opportunity later!
Therefore, she would not miss it!
She would not let herself regret it!
To be able to marry Prince Ye, even the ladies from noble families in the capital would yearn for it. This was fate! Allowing Prince Ye to come to her home tonight!
A destined encounter!
Yun Shu glanced at Qian Le'er.
After Qian Le'er finished speaking, she resolutely headed towards the room door.
Yun Shu watched Qian Le'er push the door open, her lips pressing together, her gaze deepening.
Qiu Lu clenched his fists, watching the closed door nervously.
His Highness would surely be alright!
The situation today was special. To survive, His Highness could only do this.
As for Miss Yun Er… he looked at Miss Yun Er.
He found her expression indifferent, enveloped in a mist, yet exuding an even colder aura than before. For a moment, he froze.
Inside the room.
After Qian Le'er entered, she stood at the door, taking two deep breaths, her heart beating even faster.
She mustered her courage and looked up at the man who made her heart pound uncontrollably.
From her perspective, although the man was proud and exuded an aura of coldness that kept people at bay, his perfect and exquisite features created a world of difference between them.
No.
They would be closer soon!
She emboldened herself, took a deep breath, and said in a very soft voice, "Your Highness, this commoner, this commoner has come."
After speaking, her face flushed red, and she took a few more steps forward.
The closer she got, the more her heart trembled uncontrollably.
However, for some reason, she felt the surrounding atmosphere grow colder.
So cold it made her heart fill with a sense of fear.
But she still mustered her courage, placed her hand at her waist, and prepared to unfasten her clothes.
He couldn't stand up, so everything was up to her.
Before… she had read a book…
However, just as her hand was about to unfasten her clothes, a cold voice suddenly stopped her, "Leave."
Qian Le'er was stunned. She suddenly looked up, but upon seeing those pair of emotionless dark eyes, her heart trembled fiercely.
Terrified, she found it difficult to breathe.
An extremely terrifying gaze!
An extremely ruthless look!
Her legs felt weak, her face turned pale, and in her fear, she almost couldn't help but retreat.
She had often heard people say that the nobles in the capital could make people tremble with just a glance, and some even died of fright. She had dismissed it, even disbelieved it, thinking those people were too timid.
But now, she believed it.
Unable to suppress her fear, she took a step back.
But as she retreated, she remembered what her cousin had told her. She reacted and gritted her teeth, mustering her courage to say, "Prince Ye, this commoner… this commoner was entrusted by my cousin. My cousin said Your Highness needed detoxification, so this commoner dared to come in."
As soon as she said this.
She felt her spine straighten.
She bit her lip and boldly stared directly at Prince Ye.
However, with just one glance, she couldn't help but avert her gaze.
After averting her gaze, she belatedly regretted her timidity.
When she wanted to look up again, she no longer had the courage from before.
Zhan Tianye's icy dark pupils looked at Qian Le'er.
For a moment, the room was filled with a chill that could freeze three feet of ice.
Qian Le'er's heart leaped into her throat again. Was Prince Ye disgusted with her? Disgusted that she was a country girl?
She…
"Prince Ye, this commoner, this commoner didn't want to, but I don't want to let down my cousin, nor do I want to see Your Highness in trouble, so, so this commoner dared to come in." Qian Le'er put on a meek and beautiful appearance, her voice soft and trembling with shyness.
With such a pitiable and charming demeanor, even the most heart of stone would be moved to pity, right?
However, Qian Le'er still didn't hear what she wanted to hear.
She suddenly looked up.
The sight made her liver and gallbladder tremble.
"Ye… Prince Ye…"
Zhan Tianye's face was ashen, devoid of any color. He looked at Qian Le'er expressionlessly.
At the same time.
Outside the room, Jing Heng saw Qian Le'er go in.
Even if his mind was slow, he understood what was happening.
"Master…"
Yun Shu lowered her eyes, looking at the dark ground. Hearing Jing Heng's voice, she responded faintly, "Hmm?"
"Is there no other way?" Jing Heng asked in a low voice.
After the assassination attempt, he could tell that his master seemed to have fallen for Prince Ye, and Prince Ye had protected his master excessively, even getting injured himself.
Under these circumstances, if Qian Le'er and Prince Ye succeeded, how would his master face Prince Ye in the future?
Yun Shu continued to gaze at the ground. Hearing Jing Heng's question, her back stiffened.
A way?
She…
Suddenly.
