Chapter 421: I've Always Loved Huanhuan

"Miss!"

When she saw Ye Qingran, a faint smile spread across the woman's face, as thin as frost.

"Bing Er is here," Ye Qingran curled her lips into a smile.

Bing Er, whose real name is Bai Bing, is a maid in Yaowang Valley and excels at the Disguise Transformation Technique.

"Miss, Bing Er missed you so much! While you were away, Yaowang Valley has lost its former vitality."

Ye Qingran lifted an eyebrow, "You all miss me so much. Then it seems it's time for me to go back and take a look."

"That's wonderful! Old Valley Master will surely be very pleased!"

When Old Valley Master was mentioned, a hint of melancholy flickered in Ye Qingran's eyes.

"Sister Bing Er, don't you miss us?"

Bai Bing glared irritably at Han Xing Leng Yue, "You all are so happy, I haven't even had time to be jealous yet!"

Who in Yaowang Valley doesn't envy Han Xing Leng Yue?

After all, not everyone has the honor of staying by the Valley Master's side!

Han Xing Leng Yue let out a chuckle.

At that moment, a sound came from outside Ting Yu Xuan.

"Ye Huanhuan's maid is kicking the door again!"

Han Xing said in a deep voice.

Since the news of the miss's serious injury spread, the others at Ye Residence have become increasingly reckless!

Upon hearing the name Ye Huanhuan, Bai Bing's complexion instantly darkened, and a heavy murderous intent flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Bing Er, step back for now."

Bai Bing nodded, slipped behind the screen, and restrained her breath.

"Sister, Qing Xuan brother and I have come to see you!"

Ye Huanhuan looped one arm around Dongfang Qingxuan's arm and gracefully walked into the room.

Behind them followed the maid Xiao Lu, whose chin was lifted as if toward the heavens.

Dongfang Qingxuan's expression was solemn, his brows tightly knit, looking deeply troubled.

When he saw Ye Qingran on the bed, his gaze averted, unwilling to meet her eyes.

Ye Huanhuan, however, paid no mind to Dongfang Qingxuan's attitude; instead she turned sideways, pressing her chest against his arm in a very affectionate manner.

"Brother Qingxuan?" Ye Huanhuan called in a coquettish voice.

Dongfang Qingxuan felt nothing but disgust and had no intention of responding to her.

"Brother Qingxuan, what's wrong with you? Yesterday on the bed you were so warm, why are you so cold today?"

Dongfang Qingxuan's whole body tensed, anger flaring in his eyes. Almost instinctively he glanced at Ye Qingran, saw her eyes closed, seemingly immersed in boundless pain, and he inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

"Ye Huanhuan!"

"Brother Qingxuan, didn't you say you had something to tell Sister? Why haven't you said it?"

Dongfang Qingxuan clenched his fist, sinking into endless turmoil.

"Brother Qingxuan, I warn you, if you speak I will save Ye Qingran; if you don't speak, Ye Qingran is doomed! Deal with it yourself!"

Ye Huanhuan transmitted her voice.

Dongfang Qingxuan shivered slightly.

A few breaths later, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Ye Qingran, I've always liked Huanhuan; abandoning you, I've never regretted it!"

After speaking, Dongfang Qingxuan closed his eyes, as if drained of strength, his complexion turned a few shades paler.

No, none of this is true!

Ye Qingran, I'm sorry!

I have to say this because I don't want you to die!

I want you to live well, even if there is no longer any possibility between us!

Han Xing Leng Yue looked at Dongfang Qingxuan in astonishment.

This time and the last, his attitude was vastly different, as if he had become another person.

Ye Qingran saw through it at a glance.

However, she didn't care at all.

Dongfang Qingxuan was, after all, just a passerby in her life.

"Crown Prince, I've always known."

Ye Qingran said weakly.

Dongfang Qingxuan moved his lips, wanting to explain, but still held back.

This is fine.

Ye Huanhuan laughed on the side, her smile sinister and triumphant.

"Dongfang Qingxuan, don't you love Ye Qingran?"

I will not let you have your way!

I will make you live in endless remorse and pain, never escaping the gloom, stumbling blindly, and meet a miserable death!

This is the consequence of you betraying me, Ye Huanhuan!

As for Ye Qingran...

Ye Huanhuan's eyes flashed with contempt.

She is just a dying person!

"Come, throw Ye Qingran's things out for me!"

"And also their master and the three servants, drive them all out!"

Ye Yu's voice grew nearer.

Ye Yu and Zhao Shi appeared, leading a dozen or so Ye Residence servants, storming into Ting Yu Xuan.

"What are you trying to do?"

Han Xing asked knowingly.

"What?" Ye Yu squinted, "Of course we're going to drive you out of the Ye Residence!"

"You're downright overstepping! The Ye Residence was left by the matriarch for the miss; what right do you have?"

"What right? Just because of that scum Ye Qingran, she's about to die!"

Having said that, Ye Yu looked at Ye Huanhuan in the room, "Huanhuan, once Ye Qingran is gone, this Ting Yu Xuan will be yours."

Ye Huanhuan smiled and nodded.

Dongfang Qingxuan only then recovered from his shock.

"Ye Huanhuan, are you playing me?"

Ye Huanhuan curled her lips in a smile, "What is brother Qing Xuan saying, why can't I understand?"

"You promised me you'd save Ye Qingran?"

Ye Huanhuan looked bewildered, "Is that so? Why don't I recall? Who can prove it?"

"Ye Huanhuan, you scum!"

Dongfang Qingxuan's fury rose to the heavens.

Only then did he realize he had been fooled by Ye Huanhuan!

Scum?

A flash of icy hue passed through Ye Huanhuan's eyes.

She, Ye Huanhuan, was no longer the Ye Huanhuan of old; how could she let others call her scum?

Clap~

Ye Huanhuan's expression darkened, and she slapped Dongfang Qingxuan across the face.

"Dongfang Qingxuan, what do you think you are? You're just the Crown Prince of Donglin Country, nothing at all in my eyes!"

"You! I will kill you!"

Dongfang Qingxuan lunged at Ye Huanhuan, but she easily stopped him.

Ye Huanhuan grabbed Dongfang Qingxuan's collar with one hand; he could not move, only glaring at her with fiery eyes.

"Tsk tsk, pitiful Crown Prince!"

Ye Huanhuan shook her head lightly, her eyes filled with pity.

A nation's Crown Prince, in her hands, was like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Before, she was deferential to him; now it's his turn to depend on her.

Indeed, this moment differs from that.

If it were the earlier time, Ye Yu would have been terrified.

After all, Dongfang Qingxuan is a nation's Crown Prince.

But now, he only harbors scorn.

With a great power from Nan Yin Zhou backing him, what is there left to fear?

"Come, drive them all out for me!"

Ye Yu waved his hand grandly, and the servants behind him were eager to act.

"Hold!" Ye Qingran shouted clearly. Because she was out of strength, the words sounded without any intimidation.

"Can you give me a little time to tidy up?"

Even if she were a tiger fallen on flat ground, her tone still lacked any servile deference.

Zhao Shi naturally refused to agree.

The more disheveled Ye Qingran became, the more delighted she was.

"Agree to her!" Dongfang Qingxuan shouted.

"If you don't agree, even if I lose the Prince Title, I will die with you in a net!"

This is his last dignity.

It is also the only thing he can do for Ye Qingran.

"Since that's the case, then we shall obey the Crown Prince," Ye Huanhuan sneered, "But only fifteen minutes; not a minute more!"

Having said that, Ye Huanhuan turned and left the room.

Ye Yu and the others followed out of the room.

Han Xing Leng Yue closed the door, and Bai Bing, with an angry expression, stepped out from behind the screen, "Miss, that Ye Huanhuan, I could shred her into a thousand pieces! And Ye Yu and Zhao Shi, they are damned beasts!"

"When the mastermind behind the scenes is caught, your wish will be fulfilled."

Ye Qingran sat up from the bed.

"Come, for now you will assume my identity!"

Bai Bing nodded.

Her mission this time in Xiliang City was to masquerade as the miss.

As for the miss...

Ye Qingran, at some point, had changed into a pure white robe, her black hair tied high into a man's topknot. She wore a silver mask, exposing her lips and chin, and lightly waved a Folding Fan in her hand.

Thus a refined gentleman of a murky world was born!
