Chapter 54: Volume 1, Chapter 54: The Uglier and More Troublesome, the Faster the Engagement Can Be Called Off

In the carriage, the veins on Ye Lanjue's forehead bulged, and the thought of wanting to pinch Yun Qiyue to death arose again.

That damn woman, couldn't she stop using that kind of voice to disgust him? He was afraid he wouldn't be able to help but want to reach out and strangle her.

Obviously, Yun Qiyue didn't hear Ye Lanjue's inner voice and was determined to disgust people to the end.

Yun Qiyue continued, using an even more aggrieved and affected voice: "I'm tired, won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"

Being so far away, how could she talk about calling off the engagement?

As for why she had to use this voice that even she couldn't help but get goosebumps listening to?

Heh, naturally, she was unhappy in her heart at this moment and wanted to disgust the culprit who made her unhappy.

Moreover, the uglier and more troublesome, the faster the engagement could be called off, right?

The onlookers looked at Yun Qiyue's appearance and felt it was unbearable to look at.

Joke, if it were a beauty acting affected there, it would naturally be pleasing to the eye and pitiful.

But it just happened to be an ugly woman with a yin-yang face, which was really an eyesore.

The four guards closest to Yun Qiyue were even more twitching at the corners of their eyes, so ugly that they couldn't help but want to look away.

Just when everyone thought Yun Qiyue was bound to die this time and would die miserably, an incredible scene happened.

The carriage curtain was lifted by a pair of fair and slender hands, and then a man wearing a purple gold-inlaid python robe and a golden mask appeared in everyone's field of vision.

That slender and tall figure and the cold and absolute temperament emanating from his whole body made the men on the scene want to submit, and the women were crazy about it.

The moment Ye Lanjue's cold and deep eyes accurately locked onto Yun Qiyue, everyone held their breath, waiting for the Regent to order Yun Qiyue's execution.

However, they heard Ye Lanjue ask in a deep voice, "You want to get on this king's carriage?"

Although the voice was cold and bone-chilling, it was not an order to execute Yun Qiyue, so the onlookers were still surprised.

Yun Qiyue met Ye Lanjue's deep eyes from afar, only feeling that an invisible pressure was emanating from those eyes.

If it were anyone else, they would have been scared to look away by now, and might even have been unable to help but crawl on the ground.

But Yun Qiyue not only didn't feel afraid, but smiled and said, "Yes!"

If she didn't sit in his carriage, how could she discuss the matter of calling off the engagement with him?

In public?

Don't be stupid!

This man was very petty; last time, because she refused to get on the carriage, he stared at her with those murderous eyes, and this time if she dared to express in public that she didn't want to marry him, as long as she had even the slightest thought in this regard, this man could probably turn her into slag in seconds.

In short, Ye Lanjue's 'petty' appearance was stuck in Yun Qiyue's heart.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's fearless appearance, suddenly curled his lips, his deep eyes dark. "Get on."

Dropping these two words, Ye Lanjue went back into the carriage.

Everyone: "..."

This?

Why was the matter developing in this weird direction?

Shouldn't the Regent order Yun Qiyue's execution? Why, instead of executing her, did he invite Yun Qiyue to get on the carriage?

Could it be that the Regent really looked at an ugly woman like Yun Qiyue differently?

If that were really the case, then... his taste was really unique.

Everyone complained in their hearts while looking at Yun Qiyue.

To be precise, they were glaring at Yun Qiyue, as if threatening her with their eyes not to go up.

Such an ugly woman getting on the Regent's carriage and being in the same carriage as the Regent, what was it if not profanation?

Unfortunately, after Yun Qiyue got permission, she didn't even give those people a look and walked straight toward the incomparably luxurious carriage that others couldn't approach.

When passing by the eunuch who scolded her, Yun Qiyue even showed a toothy smile at the eunuch, looking very much like a provocation.

The eunuch was almost scared into a heart attack by Yun Qiyue's sudden smile, but the culprit had already drilled into the carriage under the eyes of everyone.

"Continue forward."

In the carriage, the Regent's cold voice came.

The carriage continued forward under the stunned gaze of everyone.

And in the carriage, Yun Qiyue clearly felt that the pressure had risen sharply since she entered.

The powerful pressure squeezed her heart until it hurt.

This man, does he think pressure doesn't cost money?

While complaining in her heart, Yun Qiyue showed her neat teeth to Ye Lanjue and smiled. "Your Highness, you don't have to be nervous, I have no malice toward you."

Ye Lanjue stared at Yun Qiyue with cold eyes and said coolly, "Aren't you afraid that this king will kill you?"

This woman was truly the boldest and most fearless woman he had ever seen.

Yun Qiyue nodded very honestly. "Afraid."

Ye Lanjue was stunned, not expecting Yun Qiyue to answer so directly.

In his view, Yun Qiyue was a woman who feared nothing, lawless to the extreme.

Yun Qiyue continued, "But I think our wise, martial, and extraordinary Regent should not make a move on a small woman like me, right?"

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Once the flattery was smoothed out, it would be easier for the conversation to achieve its purpose, right?

As for whether this man would kill her?

Heh, she just didn't want to offend this man, not that she was afraid of him; if this man really had murderous intent toward her, it wasn't like she couldn't fight him to the death.

In short, everything she did was to survive, including calling off the engagement with this man and staying away from him.

"Heh—" Ye Lanjue gave a cold laugh, his eyes looking at Yun Qiyue without a trace of emotion, but it looked like he was mocking Yun Qiyue for being 'fanciful'.

Seeing that the flattery didn't work, Yun Qiyue didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point. "Regent, to be honest, I have something to discuss with you today, we..."

"Wait until later to talk about business." Before Yun Qiyue could finish, Ye Lanjue interrupted directly.

Yun Qiyue: "... No, I'm very quick, it only takes a little bit of time..." She was in a hurry...

"Either wait, or get out." Ye Lanjue's voice dropped a degree, leaving no room for negotiation.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Since she was already here, how embarrassing would it be to get out?

It was just a few words anyway, it shouldn't matter, right?

Thinking this, Yun Qiyue calmed herself down.

And what Yun Qiyue didn't know was that the fleeting anxiety on her face was seen by Ye Lanjue.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a teahouse in the capital.

Perhaps because they knew the Regent would be there, there were no other guests in the teahouse.

Yun Qiyue followed Ye Lanjue to the second floor and entered a private room.

Chen Feng and Moyu guarded the door, and there were only Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue in the room.

Yun Qiyue paid attention to Ye Lanjue's mood while thinking about how to speak.

And Ye Lanjue sat there like a big Buddha, high and mighty with a powerful sense of oppression, and his fingers tapped on the table, as if urging Yun Qiyue to speak quickly, inexplicably adding a bit of urgency to the atmosphere.

"I heard that you have great power in the court, so if you can, you should be able to let the Emperor cancel this marriage, right?" Yun Qiyue asked tentatively.

Ye Lanjue had long known that Yun Qiyue had looked for him, but he had thought of various reasons, but never thought that she was in such a hurry to find him to call off the engagement.

Therefore, hearing Yun Qiyue's words, Ye Lanjue subconsciously frowned.

"You don't want to marry this king?" ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
