Chapter 115 - The Consequences of Over-confident
Chapter 115: The Consequences of Over-confident
Bai Aoxue didn’t miss Qi Liange at all after his leaving. The friendship between them had already vanished when he used Bai Aoxue to scheme against Jun Yeyan.
As the saying goes: friendship is the most precious and cheapest thing.
Some people would use their lives to defend the nobility of their friendships, while others would only abandon their friends or make fully use of them.
Bai Aoxue laughed at herself and then returned to her room in silence.
“Jun Yeyan, I’m a little tired today. I want to take a rest. By the way, I want to see Nalan Youhong sometime.” Before Bai Aoxue stepped into her room, she turned to look at Jun Yeyan and said so.
Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue’s tired little face, knowing that she didn’t take a good rest yesterday. He said in distress: “Go to rest. I’ll come over to have dinner with you. As for Hong, it will take him a few days to go back.”
When Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan’s words, she nodded and ordered Hongxiu and Wenxi: “When Mumian comes back, let her come here.”
“Sure, Your Highness.” Wenxi and Hongxiu nodded and said.
Seeing this, Bai Aoxue turned around and walked in her room.
Jun Yeyan watched Bai Aoxue enter the room but had no intention of leaving.
“Your Highness, do you have any other orders?” Wenxi and Hongxiu glanced at each other and asked Jun Yeyan respectfully.
The longer they got along with Jun Yeyan, the more mysterious they felt he was.
“Today, you said nothing wrong in the palace, did you?” Without looking at Wenxi or Hongxiu, Jun Yeyan asked lightly.
But they knew that Jun Yeyan was asking them.
“Responding to Your Highness, we just said that Miss Bai didn’t have concrete movements, and she still didn’t trust us.” Wenxi said earnestly without forgetting anything.
Jun Yeyan nodded and said: “You can leave now. Let those servants in kitchen prepare more food that Xue likes.”
When Wenxi and Hongxiu heard Jun Yeyan’s words, they respectfully saluted and said: “Please excuse us.” Both of them appreciated Jun Yeyan even more. Since he took care of Miss like this, he must like her very much.
After Hongxiu and Wenxi left, Jun Yeyan once again looked at Bai Aoxue’s closed door and stepped away.
Although Qi Liange had gone, it didn’t mean that he could go back to Nanyue safely. It was not impossible that he suddenly died on the way home.
Since he dared to grab Bai Aoxue at here brazenly, he should be prepared for his consequences.
Moreover, he took advantage of Bai Aoxue. Although Bai Aoxue did not say anything, he could feel her disappointment. His honey was unhappy. How could he let Qi Liange live leisurely?
Thinking of this, Jun Yeyan’s phoenix-like eyes slightly narrowed, and the cold light suddenly appeared.
“Zhao.” A word came out from his thin lips indifferently.
In an instant, a dark figure came to Jun Yeyan.
“My King, What’s your order? ” Zhao knelt on one knee with absolute obedience and faith.
Jun Yeyan put his hands behind the back. His eyes were deep.
“Tell them to follow Qi Liange all the way. That will be the best if they can kill him halfway. If not, don’t let him return to Nanyue safely!”
“How dare him to grab my woman in front of me? Did he really think that I am weak?”
“If it weren’t for the wrong time, I would kill Qi Liange by myself. It seemed that Qi Liange did not want to be Nanyue’s emperor. Tell Qi Xiaoling that it is not impossible if he wants to get the throne, but he must give me something in exchange.”
Zhao was very excited when he heard Jun Yeyan’s words. Finally, their resolute and ruthless master came back!
With this in mind, he saluted respectfully and answered earnestly: “Yes! My king.”
Jun Yeyan recalled Bai Aoxue’s words and said: “Notify Hong that he must come back within fifteen days. Xue needs to talk to him. I don’t want Xue to wait for him for too long.”
When Zhao heard his words, his excitement suddenly disappeared. His master wasn’t change. He was that young man who dropped in the honeypot of love.
Although he was very happy that master could find his lover, it was these subordinates who were suffering.
Zhao once again mourned for Nalan Youhong. He understood that some people’s plays were not appropriate for everyone to see, such as their master who thought one way but acted another.
When Jun Yeyan just arranged everything, the housekeeper of 5th Prince’s mansion arrived.
“Your Highness, what you ordered has been settled. Several ministers in the central government no longer support His Majesty. They have already chosen their positions.” Shaking his leaf fan, the housekeeper Zhaoye looked at Jun Yeyan and said so.
In fact, the housekeeper Zhaoye was Jun Yeyan’s military adviser to a large extent. Most of the strategies were planned by him. He stared at people with his fox-like eyes cunningly and craftily.
When Jun Yeyan listened to Zhaoye’s words, he picked up his lips and smiled with satisfaction. He said: “Well done. I used to say that I could take things slowly. I’ve been waiting for so many years, but now, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Zhaoye and Zhao were silent for a short time after listening to Jun Yeyan’s words. They knew what made him not want to wait.
“Your Highness, is Bai Aoxue really so important to you?” Zhaoye asked seriously. He couldn’t resist his doubt.
After Jun Yeyan listened to Zhaoye’s words, he picked up his phoenix-like eyes. He then turned to look at Zhaoye indifferently and said: “Zhaoye, she is your Princess.”
When Zhao heard Jun Yeyan’s words, he realized that he was so outspoken that he did not address Bai Aoxue respectfully.
But Jun Yeyan’s words also made them know the weight of Bai Aoxue in Jun Yeyan’s heart completely.
Zhaoye shook his head helplessly. He wanted to speak something but stopped.
Looking at Zhaoye’s expression, Jun Yeyan knew what he wanted to say. He said: “I understand your doubts, but since Xue is my choice, I will definitely defend her.”
Jun Yeyan’s peaceful eyes suddenly glistened cold light. After a pause, he said: “But if you still want to do something to test her, don’t blame me for not being polite. Remember, she is your Princess and also your mistress.”
Both of them trembled when they heard Jun Yeyan’s words. They would not be shocked by the title “Princess”, but the address “mistress” was beyond their imagination.
Maybe other people couldn’t understand the importance of the title “mistress”, but as Dark King’s trusted followers, how could they not understand?
Mistress, who should be treated as Dark King, shared all Dark King’s wealth, honor, and supreme rights.
“Master… well…” Zhaoye still had some doubts. He couldn’t help trying to persuade Jun Yeyan.
Jun Yeyan glanced at Zhaoye with cold eyes, which silenced him.
“Since you call me your master, you should know that no one has ever been able to judge my choices.” Jun Yeyan said proudly.
“Master… are you quickening your pace for Princess?” After a moment of silence, Zhaoye asked again.
Jun Yeyan did not answer Zhaoye after listening to his question. He just looked at the direction of the palace. Confusion emerged in his eyes but was replaced by fierceness again in the next second.
“For what… Who knows?” Leaving intriguing words, Jun Yeyan disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhao looked at the direction that Jun Yeyan left and said to himself: “Bai Aoxue… I’ll see what you can do.”
Zhao, who didn’t leave, said in a cold tone after listening to Zhaoye’s words: “I suggest that you’d better not. I don’t know your thoughts, but I have already admitted Bai Aoxue as the mistress.”
After that, he followed Jun Yeyan, leaving Zhaoye who was in shock at the same place.
Zhaoye did not expect that even Zhao, the most mysterious people beside Jun Yeyan, had admitted Bai Aoxue.
Zhaoye forced a smile. Since the leading player had admitted, what excuses did he have to deny Bai Aoxue?
“Forget about it. As subordinates, we should support master’s choices! How can we prevent him?” Zhaoye sighed helplessly, while he was more curious about Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue did not rest. After Mumian came back and explained the details of deeds to her, she began to plan for the future in her mind.
But the most shocking thing was another news that Mumian brought back, that was, Su Qianqian and Bai Lei, were found dead in an alley!
She heard that they were killed by someone. Local authorities had already taken over the case. Bai Qiwei did not intend to negotiate about this. Those cowards in Su’s mansion even closed their door to visitors.
From Mumian’s angry expression, Bai Aoxue had her guesses.
Presumably, someone spread a rumor and attributed Su Qianqian’s death to her. Probably, someone hated Su Qianqian, so he or she hired someone to kill her.
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue could not help smiling. Now people were like this. They followed the general trend. Most of the time, gossips hurt the most, but these culprits never realized what they had done!
“Miss! What are you laughing at? Those people are terrible! They misunderstand you! I just had a quarrel with some people!” Mumian stamped, looking at Bai Aoxue anxiously.
In private, Mumian still liked to address Bai Aoxue as Miss.
Hongxiu nodded, but Wenxi frowned.
“Miss, do we need to find out the people who spread the rumors?” Compared with Hongxiu and Mumian, Wenxi asked more sensibly.
Bai Aoxue sipped the first-class green tea in the cup. The aftertaste lingering on, she said indifferently: “Mumian, you must know that we can never control men’s hearts and mouths. After you find one, the next one will come out. This process is endless. So, don’t waste your time or energy on these scums. What we must do is to pull out the mastermind!”
After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, they all fell into deep thought.
“Wenxi, you girls go to make a secret inquiry to see if you can find out who killed Su Qianqian. I’ll see who frames me!” Bai Aoxue laughed wildly, and she was surrounded by the evil aura.
“Got it, Miss!” Wenxi, Hongxiu and Mumian answered earnestly. They also wanted to see who dared to slander their master!
Bai Aoxue looked at them. There were only four of them after including Bai Aoxue. Now she didn’t have much manpower or resources. Everything needed to rely on Jun Yeyan. Maybe it didn’t matter from his point of view.
But Bai Aoxue did not think so. She never depended on anyone in the preceding world. When she came to this space, she became what she used to be, which was the worst phenomenon.
She was Bai Aoxue, and she must always remind herself that she didn’t need to rely on anyone, and that she could do anything by herself!
“It seems that it’s time for me to establish my own forces…” Bai Aoxue sighed.
