He suddenly approached Ye Qianli. Although he did not walk very fast, everyone present—including Ye Fengtian—subconsciously did not dare to disturb him. The others became even more silent.
“…” Ye Qianli did not dare to utter another word either. She did not even dare to look up. She did not dare to make eye contact with this handsome man who had suddenly approached her, even if she felt that she was acting magnanimous.
It was not because of anything else, but because with every step he took, there was an intense chilling intent! It pressed down on her as if it wanted to freeze her! Freeze her to death!
Even though she had been through hundreds of battles and had a strong mental fortitude, she almost fell to her knees and trembled under his icy cold aura, ultra frosty and pressurizing like the South Pole.
So cold!
It was so cold that Ye Qianli almost could not breathe. However, this person had already stopped in his tracks. The cold and oppressive aura around him also retracted. Then! Before she could react, her chin was held in place by two cold fingers, and she was forced to look up.
The next moment, she met that pair of dark and magnetic eyes.
Buzz!
In that instant, Ye Qianli felt as if her soul had been sucked out because of this pair of eyes, and her mind almost couldn’t think clearly.
“!”
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Ye Qianli’s dirty forehead. Her pair of clear eyes also instinctively turned cold because of this, concealing the special characteristics under her new appearance. At this moment, it was as if the complete truth was going to pour forth.
Boom!
However, at this critical juncture, she suddenly restrained her true colors that had nearly come out, leaving only fear and confusion…
“Hmm?”
At the same time, Rong Mo—who was leaning over and grabbing her chin like he was a sort of god—had a flash of suspicion in his eyes. Hence, he did not let go and continued examining his ‘fiancée’ in front of him.
“Cough, Crown…”
When Ye Fengtian saw this, he was suddenly shocked into a realization that—even as a Mystic King—he had actually been captivated by the aura of the crown prince. Inevitably, this made him feel ashamed and angry at the same time. In a bid to prove himself, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
Yet…
“!”
However, Rong Mo suddenly closed in on Ye Qianli under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The latter felt an omnipresent cold aura that abruptly invaded her breath. There seemed to be a faint, clean, and icy scent lingering within it.
It was very clear, very cold, and very clean. It was comforting to smell it. At least, she liked this wisp of smell. It was as if she were completely wrapped in a clean, huge, and heavy snowfall. It calmed her.
This caused her beautiful glass-like eyes to inadvertently reveal a satisfied and languid feeling of enjoyment. This kind of behaviour from her instantly caused Rong Mo—who was originally approaching her with a calm aura—to snort coldly all of a sudden.
And then…
Before Ye Qianli could figure out what was going on, Rong Mo had already ‘thrown’ her jaw away. Yes! He had thrown it away as though he was throwing away something very much taboo. Then…
“It seems that Crown Prince Ye has some family matters to attend to. This Crown Prince, I, didn’t come at the right time. Farewell.” Rong Mo stood up straight and said indifferently. He didn’t even give a glance to Ye Qianli or anyone else in the hall as he walked out of the main hall.
“Crown Prince…”
Ye Fengtian looked at him and instinctively wanted to stop him and explain. He did indeed make a move, but he had just taken a step forward when he was pulled aside by someone before he could reach Rong Mo.
“Crown Prince Ye, aren’t you going to send His Highness the Crown Prince off?” The person holding onto Ye Fengtian was a court eunuch, the only one who could follow Rong Mo around. He was the chief steward of the Crown Prince’s residence, Yan Nanfei.
“This…”
Ye Fengtian’s intuition told him that he had to explain. Judging from this crown prince’s behavior, it was very likely that he was dissatisfied with his daughter and with this trip! How could he not explain properly?
“Hurry up!”
Yan Nanfei urged with a headache. Others might not know, but as someone observant, he was clearly aware that the crown prince he served was on the verge of exploding with anger.
If not in consideration for the Ye Clan’s power and the legendary Northern Territory King who was guarding the Northern Territory, this willful crown prince of a young master might have ‘messed around’.
Most importantly, he didn’t know why exactly the esteemed Crown Prince was so angry!
After all, the Crown Prince came to Southern Palace in a rage. He wasn’t angry because of the mess here. It should be that this bunch of people from the Ye Clan had gotten into the crossfire, that’s all.
The crown prince gave Ye Fengtian some face this time and didn’t even lose his temper on the spot. However, what was wrong with this Prince Ye? He was already so old, but he wasn’t the slightest bit observant. The crown prince had already let him off, but this guy still wanted to go up to him. Was he courting death?
F*ck!
Even if he wanted to die, this wasn’t the time. Couldn’t he look for some time when Yan Nanfei wasn’t around? Otherwise, the emperor and the law-enforcement officers would definitely not look for trouble with the crown prince, but they would all look for trouble with him! Sob, sob…
It was not easy to be the crown prince’s chief steward… Sob…
“I bid you a respectful farewell, Your Highness.”
And just as Yan Nanfei and Ye Fengtian were engaged in a tug-of-war, Ye Qianli had already sent him off politely with a clear voice. This caused Yan Nanfei to almost end up with tears streaming down his face. He was extremely moved as he looked towards her. If he could give her a ‘like’, he would probably give her a hundred ‘likes’.
However, the moment Ye Qianli said her farewell, Rong Mo—who had already reached the entrance of the hall—suddenly stopped in his tracks. This made Yan Nanfei’s heart almost jump out of his throat.
“I bid you a respectful farewell, Your Highness.”
Su Lianhua, on the other hand, was trying to flatter him at this moment. However, to Ye Qianli, it was definitely a godsend for sending him off. Because the moment she said that, Su Qin immediately spoke up, and Ye Fengtian had no choice but to follow suit.
Thus, everyone in the hall respectfully sent Rong Mo off. This made Ye Qianli secretly heave a sigh of relief. Especially after Rong Mo strode out, her heart was even more at ease.
Tch, tch…
This stunning young man’s aura was really f*cking strong. Indeed, one must be careful when sleeping with others. If she had known earlier, she would have forced herself to look for that fat pig… and that’s it.
Oh, no, no. She still couldn’t bring herself to do it. Just imagining it made her feel like puking.
Therefore, even though her life was in danger, sleeping with a beautiful man was still more comfortable to her state of mind. The saying that lascivious activities could lead to bitter consequences was too true indeed.
Da, da, da…
At the same time, Yan Nanfei was already taking small steps to catch up with his young master. He was in an exceptionally good mood as he felt that he had escaped a calamity.
Unfortunately, he was only happy for a short while…
“Tian Yi, lock down the Southern Palace.” Rong Mo, who had walked out of Clear Wind Palace, gave an order. A team of iron-blooded guards immediately appeared like ghosts and spread out to seal all the exits of the Southern Palace.
Yan Nanfei: “…” What happened to not causing trouble?
“Yan Nanfei, take my—the crown prince’s—emblem and invite Elder Doctor Jiang to come and investigate. Find the true culprit plotting against the Ye Clan’s bloodline within two hours and report it to me immediately,” Rong Mo ordered again.
“This… Crown Prince, didn’t you say that this is…” Yan Nanfei wanted to say that this was a family matter, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to interfere. However, when Rong Mo glanced over, he immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest. “Yes!”
What a joke. If the emperor and the law-enforcement officers were to interrogate him, it would only take a lot of brainpower to explain his actions. If the crown prince was unhappy, the outcome would definitely be very ‘exciting’.
Forget it, he could only offend the Ye Clan… It was such a pity for that little young lady; she was so quick-witted and observant. To be interrogated like this without restraint, even if her innocence wasn’t ruined, her reputation wouldn’t be good anymore.
Was the Crown Prince looking down on his fiancée and determined to ruin the engagement?
