Volume 1_Chapter 41: Is this man a bit too stingy?

If it were someone else facing such powerful pressure from the emperor, they would definitely be trembling with fear.

It's just a pity that this kind of pressure didn't count for much to Yun Qiyue.

Of course, walking outside, you have to give the emperor some face, so a look of sincerity and fear appeared on Yun Qiyue's face:

"Emperor, this subject's daughter originally thought that thanking the grace in person would be more sincere, so I didn't thank the grace in public; it was this subject's daughter's lack of consideration, please punish me, Emperor."

Not understanding anything, doesn't that fit the 'original fool persona'?

Xuanyuan Kun was stunned, not expecting Yun Qiyue to bring it over with such a light touch in the face of his blame.

But thinking about it, he felt it was the same; what did a former fool understand?

Moreover, the sincerity and fear on Yun Qiyue's face just right also really pleased Xuanyuan Kun.

He was an emperor, and what he enjoyed most was the sincerity and fear of others; only in this way could he feel his high above, instead of...

Thinking of something, Xuanyuan Kun's expression paused slightly, and then he squeezed out a smile and looked in a certain direction.

"Imperial Brother, I think this Third Young Mistress Yun is very interesting, what does Imperial Brother think?"

Yun Qiyue: "?"

Are there others in the Imperial Study?

And she, didn't notice?

In shock, Yun Qiyue followed Xuanyuan Kun's gaze, but happened to meet a pair of captivating eyes.

Between the four eyes meeting, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but shiver.

What a terrible pair of eyes!

And, what a terrible pressure.

The powerful aura radiated from the man like this, Yun Qiyue didn't need to have any disguise, she sincerely felt fear and terror.

And what made her even more shocked was that this man was only less than three meters away from her, but she hadn't noticed it at all after being here for so long.

When did her alertness become so weak?

Or, this man himself was too powerful.

In shock, Yun Qiyue began to size up the man's attire.

A purple dragon-patterned python robe, a pure gold mask, and a bewitching purple mandala flower on the left side of the mask, revealing only a firm chin and thin lips, as well as those eyes that made people fearful, looking noble and mysterious, with a cold and chilling temperament.

Even if it made people unable to peek at his appearance, it would still make women crazy for him.

Such a man was as dangerous as a poppy, making Yun Qiyue have the urge to escape.

Especially the man's gaze when looking at her, cold and bloodthirsty, as if he wanted to slice her into pieces.

But, why?

She hadn't offended this man.

Just thinking this way, Yun Qiyue's body stiffened suddenly, and then she remembered the man's identity.

Wearing a mask, wearing a python robe, being called 'Imperial Brother' by the current emperor, then, this man should be the Regent who was said to have power over the court?

She didn't know if the original owner had any intersection with the Regent, and the only intersection she had with the Regent was in front of the General's Mansion.

The Regent's guard invited her to the carriage, and she refused.

Now that she thought about it, it was also true; how could a guard cross the master's order to invite her? It must have been the Regent's idea.

But, just because of her one refusal, he wanted to slice her into pieces? Is this man a bit too stingy?

Yun Qiyue complained about Ye Lanjue sitting opposite her in her heart, and instantly felt that Ye Lanjue was not so high above.

It happened that at this time, Ye Lanjue suddenly spoke.

"Too ugly!"

Just two words, breaking the silence of the room.

For a time, Yun Qiyue hadn't reacted to the meaning of Ye Lanjue's words, but thinking of the question the Emperor asked earlier, Yun Qiyue exploded.

Too ugly? What the hell is too ugly!

Although she admitted that she was indeed very ugly now, shouldn't a man be more subtle when speaking? Shouldn't he be more tactful?

Lonely for life!

Yun Qiyue glared at the man opposite, gnashing her teeth.

And when Xuanyuan Kun heard Ye Lanjue's evaluation, he was stunned at first, and then quickly firmed up the idea in his heart.

Seeing Yun Qiyue looking at Ye Lanjue with an angry look, Xuanyuan Kun was even more satisfied, but his mouth was persuading: "Imperial Brother, don't say that, Third Young Mistress Yun will be sad."

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue, only seeing Yun Qiyue's claw-waving look, not seeing half a bit of sadness.

Ye Lanjue: "Being ugly is not your fault."

Yun Qiyue: "..." Gnashing her teeth even more.

Because the next sentence of 'being ugly is not your fault' is often 'coming out to scare people is your fault'.

He meant that she came out to scare people? Right?

Right?

So what if she came out to scare people? She just scared him, so what!

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue with a bit of provocation, with the intention of scaring him to death.

Seeing this, Ye Lanjue frowned, not understanding what Yun Qiyue was making a fuss about.

However, these words of Ye Lanjue heard in Xuanyuan Kun's ears were another layer of meaning.

In Xuanyuan Kun's view, at this time, Ye Lanjue was comforting Yun Qiyue; after all, Ye Lanjue had never been a man of many words.

Of course, Xuanyuan Kun naturally couldn't feel that Ye Lanjue was like this because he took a fancy to Yun Qiyue; after all, no normal man would like an ugly woman.

It's just that Xuanyuan Kun had another layer of thoughts in his heart.

Previously, Ye Lanjue sent someone to make him issue an imperial edict to help Yun Qiyue.

Now, Ye Lanjue was comforting Yun Qiyue in front of him.

Did this mean that Ye Lanjue actually had a deep friendship with Yun Tian back then? Otherwise, how could Ye Lanjue care so much about Yun Qiyue?

Thinking this way, Xuanyuan Kun's face gradually became ugly.

Just at this moment, Ye Lanjue stood up, looked at Xuanyuan Kun coldly, his eyes deep and cold, revealing a few warnings, which made Xuanyuan Kun's hair stand on end, as if his thoughts had been seen through by Ye Lanjue, making him embarrassed and flustered.

"Nothing, I'm leaving first."

After speaking, Ye Lanjue didn't look at Xuanyuan Kun again, turned and left.

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue's departing back, thoughtful.

In that instant just now, she seemed to feel a kind of indescribable pressure.

And that feeling of pressure dissipated after Ye Lanjue left.

Could it be that something she didn't know happened in that instant just now?

Thinking this way, Yun Qiyue subconsciously looked in Xuanyuan Kun's direction, only to see Xuanyuan Kun's face was very ugly at this time.

Yo!

Was this emperor angered when she didn't know?

Indeed, Xuanyuan Kun was very angry at this time.

His dignity as an emperor was repeatedly provoked by a sworn brother who was old enough to be his son; could he not be angry?

Especially, when realizing that he still feared Ye Lanjue, Xuanyuan Kun hated it even more in his heart, wishing Ye Lanjue would die immediately.

Just about to get angry, Xuanyuan Kun suddenly remembered that there were others in the room, and a pair of sharp eyes swept towards Yun Qiyue; thinking of something, his face suddenly softened, and the look in his eyes when looking at Yun Qiyue carried a few kindnesses.

Kindness?

Such an expression appeared on the emperor's face, and it was still in the situation where the emperor was in a bad mood just a moment ago.

Intuition told Yun Qiyue that there must be a ghost in this.

This emperor was afraid that he was going to do something. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====

Intuition told Yun Qiyue that there must be something fishy going on.

This Emperor, he was likely about to stir up trouble.
