Chapter 188: Volume 1, Chapter 188: How, Crown Prince, Have You Forgotten the Imperial Uncle's Warning?

Yun Qiyue didn't go to the Forbidden Land at night and was even somewhat sleepless.

When the first ray of light shone into the room at dawn, Yun Qiyue was somewhat speechless at herself when she opened her eyes.

Just a mask, was it worth it for her to be like this?

Sighing slightly, Yun Qiyue got up.

At this time, Sixue brought a letter.

Yun Qiyue took it; there was no signature on it, and she didn't know who sent it.

Yun Qiyue looked at Sixue, and Sixue also shook her head, "A beggar sent it, saying it was for Miss."

Yun Qiyue didn't ask any more questions but directly opened the letter.

After reading the content, Yun Qiyue stuffed the letter into her sleeve; in reality, she threw it into the space.

Judging from Yun Qiyue's expression, it didn't seem to be a major letter.

Afterward, Yun Qiyue ate breakfast and was about to go out.

It was just that perhaps she didn't check the almanac when going out today, so as soon as she went out, Yun Qiyue saw someone she didn't want to see—the Crown Prince, Xuanyuan Qi.

And he was blocking the door.

So, why didn't anyone notify her? If they had notified her, she could have gone out the back door.

Yun Qiyue glared at the gatekeeper who opened the door for her.

The gatekeeper only felt he was innocent; the door was closed early in the morning, who would know someone was outside.

And Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qi, when he saw Yun Qiyue appear, had a flash of amazement in his eyes.

Once, Yun Qiyue was the capital's number one beauty.

Even if she was a fool, her looks were solid.

Now, with the mask on Yun Qiyue's face, it was even more stunning than in his impression.

Although he knew there was a large black spot under the mask, if Yun Qiyue was willing to wear the mask all the time and spend her life with him, it wasn't impossible.

Thinking this way, Xuanyuan Qi stepped forward, smiling very gently, "Yue'er—"

As soon as a long "Yue'er" came out, Yun Qiyue felt that the breakfast she had just eaten was about to be vomited out.

Couldn't he stop coming to disgust her early in the morning!

Yun Qiyue looked at Xuanyuan Qi coldly, wanting to kick him away; she didn't want to see him for even a moment.

Xuanyuan Qi didn't notice Yun Qiyue's emotions and even felt very good about himself, thinking his affectionate call had moved Yun Qiyue.

Look, Yun Qiyue was looking at him, not moving at all.

As for Yun Qiyue's cold eyes, Xuanyuan Qi ignored them directly.

Thinking of the purpose of his visit today, Xuanyuan Qi continued, "Yue'er, I..."

"Crown Prince, Yue'er is not something you can call." Yun Qiyue interrupted Xuanyuan Qi's words, her voice carrying a warning.

Hearing "Yue'er" twice in a row, her body, and even her emotions, were extremely uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Qi's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.

Finally, Xuanyuan Qi decided to ignore Yun Qiyue's words, "Yue'er, I came today—"

"Bang—"

Yun Qiyue still couldn't help it and kicked Xuanyuan Qi's waist directly, and she didn't control her strength.

Then, Xuanyuan Qi was kicked away unexpectedly and fell heavily to the ground.

Xuanyuan Qi's guards saw this and were stunned first.

Then they hurriedly stepped forward in a panic.

"Crown Prince..."

The guards helped up Xuanyuan Qi, who had been thrown into a daze, but for a while, Xuanyuan Qi couldn't come back to his senses.

Yun Qiyue looked at Xuanyuan Qi coldly, then walked past Xuanyuan Qi as if nothing had happened.

She had said, don't call her "Yue'er," but he didn't listen; don't blame her.

She could endure, but there was a limit.

"Yun Qiyue, you stop right there!"

Xuanyuan Qi reacted, looking at Yun Qiyue's back with hatred, and roared.

Yun Qiyue didn't stop.

Really, it wasn't that she would stop just because someone told her to.

Seeing Yun Qiyue not giving him face, and still not giving him face in front of his own guards, Xuanyuan Qi was angry.

He also forgot the purpose of coming to find Yun Qiyue today and directly ordered the guards beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you catch her for this Palace."

He must make Yun Qiyue look good today.

Daring to hit him, he would definitely make Yun Qiyue pay the price.

He wanted to make Yun Qiyue kneel and beg for mercy in front of him.

Xuanyuan Qi thought hatefully.

Yun Qiyue's path was blocked.

Then, she turned around, looked at Xuanyuan Qi, and curled her lips in a cold sneer, "How, Crown Prince, have you forgotten the Imperial Uncle's warning?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Qi woke up immediately.

The Imperial Uncle said, don't let him touch his people again, and Yun Qiyue...

Looking at Yun Q

That day at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Yun Qiyue had indeed stunned him.

But in the end, Yun Qiyue was just an ugly woman, a woman he had despised for years, so he hadn't developed any other thoughts.

Especially since Ye Lanjue's warning still rang in his ears; every time he recalled it, he couldn't help but tremble.

Yet, the words the Empress Dowager said yesterday...

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Qi's expression shifted several times, and in the end, all his emotions turned into tenderness.

"Qiyue, I truly have something to discuss with you today." Xuanyuan Qi dared not call Yun Qiyue 'Yue'er' anymore, so he had to call her Qiyue.

Beyond that, the look in Xuanyuan Qi's eyes as he gazed at Yun Qiyue held not only tenderness and deep affection but also a hint of pleading.

Pleading?

A dignified Crown Prince, having a look of pleading?

Yun Qiyue did not believe it.

But, when things are abnormal, there must be a demon.

Xuanyuan Qi being like this must mean he wants something.

Therefore, Yun Qiyue was no longer in a hurry to leave.

Although that look of Xuanyuan Qi's gave her the urge to give him a black eye, she held back in order to find out the truth.

"What is it?" Her tone was cold, her arms crossed over her chest.

She wanted to see what this Xuanyuan Qi had to say.

Seeing Yun Qiyue soften, Xuanyuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he hurriedly said: "Qiyue, over these past few years..."

"Stop—" Yun Qiyue reached out to interrupt him, "Get to the point."

She didn't want to watch Xuanyuan Qi put on a show; he wasn't a professional actor, and listening to him talk made her impatient. She only wanted to hear the real business.

With his words interrupted, Xuanyuan Qi felt even worse than if he had swallowed a fly.

The anger he had just suppressed almost flared up again.

Yet, the Empress Dowager's words surfaced in his mind again and again; he clenched his fists, and the anger in his heart was finally suppressed.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanyuan Qi reorganized his words: "Qiyue, I regret it. I have you in my heart, and I cannot leave you. Won't you give me a chance?"

The Empress Dowager said that if he wanted the position of Crown Prince, he had to rack his brains and use every method to beg for Yun Qiyue's forgiveness and make her marry him, otherwise...

Thinking of the consequences, Xuanyuan Qi's fists clenched even tighter.

If it were in the past, he would be unwilling and would ask why.

But, ever since he learned of Yun Qiyue's utility, he dared not have such thoughts again.

Admittedly, he hated her to the point of itching teeth, but he had to admit one fact: he needed her.

And, he needed her immensely.
