Concubine is always arrogant

Chapter 66 Cold War
Li Hongyu's heart sank again, and he realized from the prince's words that he was not really all right, and what happened just now was just a turning point.

What happens afterwards depends on what he and Yan Jiuxuan do.

I never thought that one day my life would be placed on someone else.

Murong Chenyi obviously didn't have anything to be happy about, and even when he came back, his complexion was a little bit bad.

Yan Jiuxuan, who had been thinking alone, didn't notice anything unusual, so she just missed it.

When Yan Jiuxuan followed Murong Chenyi back to Xiaoyao Palace, she found Murong Chenyi who had been depressed all this time.

"What's wrong?" Yan Jiuxuan couldn't figure out Murong Chenyi's inexplicable state.

Murong Chenyi took two deep breaths, and did not hold her hand as usual, "Xuan'er, this matter is more sensitive, let's not get involved, okay?"

The prince was assassinated, he was the Eighth Prince, he was indeed a very suspicious object.

Yan Jiuxuan's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard this, "Why do you think so? Chen Yi, this prince is clearly trying to target you or the Fourth Prince. How can you get away without investigating this kind of thing clearly?"

"Get away?" Murong Chenyi sneered, "Do you want to let me get away, or do you want to help Li Hongyu get away?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Murong Chenyi knew that he had said too much, so he suddenly fell silent.

Yan Jiuxuan turned around, looked at Murong Chenyi, her eyes were slightly cold, "What do you mean?"

Murong Chenyi knew he had made a slip of the tongue, but he was unwilling to admit defeat on such a matter, so he stopped looking at Yan Jiuxuan.

"Xuan'er," Murong Chenyi's voice suddenly sounded in the silent room, "Leave this matter to me, I don't want you to have too much contact with him."

As if very tired, Murong Chenyi's voice was a little hoarse, without the charm and magnetism of the past.

This sentence seemed to have touched something, Yan Jiuxuan said coldly: "Why, do you want to control my freedom now?"

"Xuan'er, I'm not..."

Yan Jiuxuan interrupted Murong Chenyi, bent down and looked at him, "Eighth Prince, don't say that we are not married yet, even if we are married, I don't want you to be so lenient in my affairs, I also have my own freedom, and I Yan Jiuxuan is not someone who needs to rely on you to survive."

"Xuan'er..."

He stretched halfway to grab her hand, but it just paused in mid-air, as if he had lost any target and could not move.

Murong Chenyi felt that he was frozen by the coldness in Yan Jiuxuan's eyes, his whole body was stiff, and he could no longer take a step forward.

It's just a sentence, but it can make her angry like this. Is that person really so important?
After finishing speaking, Yan Jiuxuan didn't look at Murong Chenyi again, she changed hands and walked to the door, when she was about to open the door and go out, Yan Jiuxuan paused.

"Eighth Prince, if you can't accept Yan Jiuxuan like this, then you can find someone to inform me directly. I will refuse the emperor's offer of marriage, and I will never cause trouble for Eighth Prince."

After leaving such a sentence, Yan Jiuxuan turned and left Xiaoyao Palace without looking back.

Murong Chenyi's movements froze, and he wanted to say something, but after hearing the last sentence, he just watched Yan Jiuxuan go out without any other movements.

The two people who were originally on good terms became so inexplicably angry, and this time, neither of them took the initiative to reconcile.

Yan Shijie was the first to notice this situation.

Murong Chenyi was still the same as before when he came across any good things, he would send them over as soon as possible, and Yan Jiuxuan also accepted them as usual.

Just these superficial phenomena are normal and there is nothing wrong with them, but Yan Shijie, who really knows the two of them, still found something wrong.

At night, Yan Shijie tried to talk to Yan Jiuxuan.

"What's the matter?" Yan Jiuxuan seemed to be thinking about something, holding a booklet that she didn't know where she came from.

"Sister, are you and the Eighth Prince..."

Yan Shijie didn't finish asking, seeing Yan Jiuxuan's calm look, he didn't know what to say for a while.

If Yan Shijie didn't say anything, Yan Jiuxuan pretended not to know, "What's wrong with us?"

It was a look of complete doubts that nothing happened.

Seeing his sister acting like this, Yan Shijie knew that it would be useless for him to ask, and his sister definitely didn't intend to talk about it.

Yan Shijie who couldn't get an answer from Yan Jiuxuan could only go to Murong Chenyi.

Originally, I thought I had to go to the palace to find him, but I didn't expect to meet him not far from the prime minister's mansion.

"Eighth Prince," Yan Shijie bowed to Murong Chenyi, "Did the Prince come to see my sister?"

As if trying to cover up something, Murong Chenyi waved his hands expressionlessly, "No, this king just came out for a casual walk after dinner, and didn't come to the prime minister's mansion on purpose."

After finishing speaking, Murong Chenyi really seemed to be passing by, and was about to leave in one direction.

Seeing this scene, Yan Shijie could only sigh helplessly, what's the matter, both of them are so awkward.

Take two quick steps, and catch up with Murong Chenyi, "My lord, I have something to say to you, I wonder if my lord has time?"

Murong Chenyi looked at Yan Shijie, nodded silently, and agreed.

The two arrived at Murong Chenyi's palace so unhurriedly, probably guessing what he was going to say, Murong Chenyi asked everyone to go down first, leaving only him and Yan Shijie in the main hall.

Regarding the reason for the two's anger, Murong Chenyi didn't want to say much at first, but Yan Shijie made Murong Chenyi decide to tell the truth with just one sentence.

"My lord, I sincerely hope that you can become my brother-in-law."

Yan Shijie's expression did not seem to be fake.

Murong Chenyi knew that Yan Shijie could influence Yan Jiuxuan to a certain extent, so after several considerations, he still told him.

After listening to Murong Chenyi's narration, Yan Shijie looked at Murong Chenyi with very surprised eyes.

"Eighth Prince, so you have a cold war with my sister because you are jealous?"

Murong Chenyi strongly disapproved of this statement, "I'm not jealous, I just think that Xuan'er is too close to that person and could be implicated."

Yan Shijie just smiled. In matters of emotion, he has always been a bystander and a fan of the authorities.

"My lord," after thinking about it, Yan Shijie felt that he had to intervene in this matter, "My sister is at fault for this matter, but there are some things I want to tell you."

According to his sister's stubborn appearance, Yan Shijie felt that it was better to talk to this prince.

This kind of thing needs to be changed by both of them.

So that night, Yan Shijie stayed in the palace until very late before going back.
