Chapter 115: Volume 1, Chapter 115: Does the Eldest Aunt Not Want Her Eyes Anymore?

As soon as Yun Qiyue spoke, everyone couldn't help but look at her.

Only to see Yun Qiyue looking up at the Regent Ye Lanjue, while Ye Lanjue was looking down at Yun Qiyue.

One looking up, one looking down, the two gazing at each other, hands held together, the scene was surprisingly harmonious and beautiful.

Of course, that was on the condition that no one tried to imagine what Yun Qiyue's face looked like under the veil.

"Hmm?" Ye Lanjue's voice was cold.

"Today is the Hundred Flowers Festival." Yun Qiyue reminded him.

"Hmm." Ye Lanjue nodded, indicating he knew.

"On such a beautiful festival, it's better not to see blood." Yun Qiyue said, her tone as casual as if she were chatting about the weather today.

And Moyu, who was dragging Xu Shi to the door, subconsciously stopped his steps upon hearing Yun Qiyue's words.

With Miss Yun's words, the Master might change his mind.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue with deep eyes, "What do you want?"

"Since it's a foul mouth, a slap in the face will do; cutting out the tongue is too violent, don't you think, Imperial Uncle?" Yun Qiyue smiled.

The crowd: "..." Isn't a slap in the face also violent?

Ye Lanjue didn't respond, only looking at Yun Qiyue.

Everyone held their breath, waiting to see if the Regent would listen to Yun Qiyue this time.

Xu Shi also waited nervously.

Compared to having her tongue cut out, she would rather be slapped.

At least, a slap wouldn't prevent her from speaking, nor would it endanger her life.

"Then, as you say, how many slaps are appropriate?" In the silence, Ye Lanjue spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue smiled, immediately raising one of her hands and extending her five little claws.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's fair and tender claws and didn't speak.

"Imperial Uncle, you also know that I am the kindest person; how could I have someone slapped too much just because they questioned me?"

The crowd nodded silently in their hearts.

Indeed, she shouldn't be slapped too much.

However, just as the crowd had followed Yun Qiyue's words to think this, they heard Yun Qiyue continue, "Just fifty slaps as a gesture."

The crowd: "..."

What happened to being kind?

Fifty slaps is just a gesture? If it weren't just a gesture, wouldn't it be five hundred?

Everyone was speechless.

After all, fifty slaps could beat a normal person into a pig's head, and even prevent them from speaking properly for many days.

And, it was quite shameful too.

In short, it was definitely not much better than cutting out the tongue.

At this moment, everyone deeply felt that this woman, Yun Qiyue, could not be provoked.

At the very least, as long as the Regent protected her for a day, they must never provoke her openly; otherwise, judging by the Regent's stance of protection, they would die a miserable death.

And Xu Shi, who had originally thought she could escape a calamity today.

But upon hearing Yun Qiyue say fifty slaps, she was so angry she almost collapsed.

Fifty slaps, how much better is this than cutting out the tongue?

That little bitch was clearly plotting against her.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi looked resentfully toward Yun Qiyue's direction.

Although Yun Qiyue was still a distance away from the door, and that distance was filled with people, these people seemed to want to provide convenience to Yun Qiyue and Xu Shi, having already cleared a path as soon as Yun Qiyue spoke.

Thus, Xu Shi's angry gaze was caught by Yun Qiyue.

Seeing that Xu Shi still dared to glare at her, Yun Qiyue smiled with a face full of innocence, "Does the Eldest Aunt not want her eyes anymore?"

Xu Shi: "..."

She withdrew her gaze in a panic.

She felt that in the future, she would have a shadow cast over her by Yun Qiyue's smile.

And Ye Lanjue, at this time, indifferently ordered Moyu: "Did you hear the Princess Consort's words clearly?"

Moyu: "..."Yes."

He knew it would be like this, so he wasn't surprised at all.

And Yun Qiyue, watching Xu Shi being dragged away, had an icy gaze.

Pleading for Xu Shi?

Of course, she wouldn't be such a saint.

For a hypocritical person like Xu Shi who loved face, fifty slaps would definitely not be easier for her than cutting out her tongue.

Dealing with people, naturally, attacking the heart is much more interesting than abusing the body.

Moreover, making Xu Shi a mute so quickly, wouldn't the many days ahead be too boring?

The coldness and shrewdness in Yun Qiyue's eyes were all seen by Ouyang Xi, which added a glimmer of light to Ouyang Xi's cold eyes.

On the other hand, Qing Jie, who was beside Ouyang Xi, watching this operation of Yun Qiyue, only felt that this woman, Yun Qiyue, was too vicious, making Qing Jie more certain of the saying, "The most poisonous is a woman's heart."

And in the crowd, there was an even more vicious and jealous gaze fixed on Yun Qiyue; perhaps this gaze was too direct, making Yun Qiyue aware of it.

Looking up toward the source of that gaze, she saw a woman with skin like congealed fat, eyebrows like distant mountains, born with a charming appearance, wrapped in red clothes, with arrogance between her brows.

And this woman, who combined beauty and charm, was now looking at her with that resentful and jealous gaze.

Seeing her standing in the Xihai envoy team, standing together with the woman who had spoken before, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, having some guesses about the woman's identity.

Then, Yun Qiyue's hand didn't just hold Ye Lanjue; she draped her whole body over that arm of Ye Lanjue.

Yun Qiyue's action, seen in Qin Jiayan's eyes, was simply a blatant provocation, making her so angry she wanted to rush up and pull Yun Qiyue away.

However, Qin Jiayan's movement was noticed by Qin Dairou, who was beside her.

Glancing at Ye Lanjue, Qin Dairou had a trace of disdain in her eyes, "Just a man who hasn't even shown his face, is he worth this much to you?"

Qin Dairou's voice wasn't loud; only she and Qin Jiayan could hear it.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiayan only withdrew her gaze but didn't refute Qin Dairou's words, not knowing if she had taken Qin Dairou's words to heart or if it was because of the difference in status.

And Ye Lanjue, looking at the woman hanging on him, frowned and moved his hand, wanting to shake her off.

Yun Qiyue felt Ye Lanjue's intention and immediately said, "Imperial Uncle, I've been supporting you for so long and I'm tired; just be the bigger person and let me lean on you."

Ye Lanjue: "..." She supported him? If he remembered correctly, she had been taking advantage of him the whole time, right?

Ignoring Yun Qiyue's words, Ye Lanjue still made a move to shake off Yun Qiyue's hand.

Although he didn't reject this woman's proximity, he still didn't like having a woman hanging on him.

Yun Qiyue hugged even tighter, her voice lowered, carrying a few hints of begging, "Imperial Uncle, I am your fiancée after all, aren't I? If you shake me off like this in front of everyone, I'll have no face, right? If I have no face, doesn't that mean you have no face?"

As she spoke, there were hints of pleading in Yun Qiyue's eyes, looking incomparably pitiful.

But in reality, the reason Yun Qiyue did this was because she discovered that in this posture, clinging to Ye Lanjue, her Life Value was increasing at a faster rate, and it would soon increase by one percent.

With such good benefits, if she didn't fight for them properly, it would be a real pity.

Compared to Life Value, what was a little bit of acting pitiful?
