Chapter 269: A charming girl will not be a stepping-stone wife 14
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and a cool breeze blows.
Liufu
A delicate beauty sat in front of the window with a sad face, and all her thoughts were focused on that person.
Despite her harsh words, when she learned the news of his assassination, she panicked.
The superficial indifference cannot stop the inner worry.
How is his injury? Is it getting worse?
She was extremely confused in her heart, but when she recalled his callousness after that night of love, she hesitated again.
She loves him, but she cannot share him with other women.
Hua Ye already has a fiancée, so who does she count?
Tears fell down her cheeks, Liu Yun'er was in great pain.
"Jun'er, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Liu Baiqing's voice came from outside.
Liu Jun'er hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears, and squeezed out a smile, "I drank too much tea, Jun'er can't sleep."
Liu Baiqing did not enter the room, but walked to the window. Looking at the tears on the woman's face that had not yet dried up, he frowned and said, "Jun'er, if you have any troubles, you can tell your brother."
"Brother Bai Qing, Jun'er is really fine." Liu Jun'er knew that he cared about her, but how could she tell him such an embarrassing thing? No matter how much pain she suffered, let her bear it alone.
Liu Baiqing stretched out his hand distressedly and touched her brow, "You haven't been able to lie since you were a child, so how could you deceive your brother?" He really wanted to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows.
His girl shouldn't be plagued by sorrow, she should always be happy.
"Brother Bai Qing, Jun'er just feels that she is so useless." Liu Jun'er said with tears falling unconsciously.
This made Liu Baiqing feel distressed. He hurriedly climbed in through the spacious window and hugged the girl into his arms, "Jun'er, did Liu Xuan'er bully you again? Don't worry, my brother will go and help you right away.
Solved this problem."
"No, brother Bai Qing, since you warned her last time, she has never caused trouble to Jun'er again." Liu Jun'er broke away from his arms, with a daughter's shyness on her face.
The nephrite in his arms disappeared, and Liu Baiqing felt a sense of loss in his heart. But looking at the blush on the girl's face, he couldn't help but stare blankly.
The hot gaze fell on her body, and Liu Yun'er was so embarrassed that she couldn't look directly at him. She had to turn her head and said coquettishly: "It's getting late, brother Bai Qing, go back and rest quickly. Jun'er is sleepy too."
Liu Baiqing hurriedly reacted, coughed lightly, and covered up his embarrassment, then said: "Okay, brother is going back first, you... you should also go to bed early, and don't think too much."
"Um."
The sweet voice of his daughter's house brushed through Liu Baiqing's heart. He resisted the impulse in his heart, clenched his hands under his sleeves, turned over and left.
Liu Jun'er looked at his leaving back and murmured: "Brother Bai Qing, you like Jun'er, how could Jun'er not notice it? It's just that there is another man in Jun'er's heart, even though he is a heartless person.
Man, but Jun'er still can't forget him."
Thinking of Hua Ye's gentle and ruthless face, Liu Yun'er lay in pain at the window and cried silently.
In the darkness, a slender figure looked at the crying girl with eyes that were quenched with poison, and the hatred in his eyes was about to overflow from his eyes.
Liu Yun'er, after everything happened in my past life, I, Liu Xuan'er, am here to demand my life from you!
…
Prince Ye's Mansion
Hua Ye lay on the bed with a haggard expression.
The old wounds have not healed, and he was seriously injured by the assassin. His body is now riddled with wounds. Although it is not fatal, it will not heal within a few months.
"How was the investigation?" Hua Ye gritted his teeth and called the secret guard to ask questions.
The secret guard replied: "Back to my lord, there are many people in the palace, everyone is suspected, and my subordinates have not found the identity of the assassin yet."
"Trash!" Hua Ye was furious.
The secret guard quickly admitted his mistake.
After the depression in Hua Ye's chest dissipated, his thoughts became clearer.
The only people who can attack him are his brothers.
The father has no legitimate sons, and they are all concubines. But he is the eldest son and the prospective son-in-law of Princess Hua Ting, and is the most likely candidate to inherit the throne.
Those brothers were targeting him everywhere, and this incident must have been caused by them.
Even if Hua Ye knew that it was those people who had done it, he could not fight back now. However, he would keep this debt in mind, and when he gets to a high position, he would settle the accounts with them one by one.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
Since he wants to become the master of the world, he must first be patient.
"What are they doing?"
He was seriously injured and in bed, so those brothers might not be idle.
"The second and sixth princes are trying to win over the ministers, the third and fourth princes want to curry favor with the left prime minister, the fifth and eighth princes want to follow General Gong to guard the border, the thirteenth and sixteenth princes were praised by the emperor today, and they also
There are eighteen princes..." The secret guard reported the actions of the princes.
After hearing everything, Hua Ye sneered, "These brothers of my king are really tight."
"Your Majesty, the people sent to the princess's mansion have been sent back." The secret guard then replied.
This news shocked Hua Ye so much that he straightened up and said, "What? The person was sent back?"
"yes."
It’s over!
Hua Ye's movements were too large, causing injuries on his body, but he didn't care at all, only thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
He has now placed all his hopes on the eldest princess. Her words are comparable to an imperial edict. If he can get her help, the throne will be within his reach.
On the contrary, if he angered her, then he...
Thinking of this, Hua Ye hurriedly called for servants to dress him.
He was going to plead guilty to the eldest princess.
After getting dressed, Hua Ye was already sweating profusely.
The injuries on his body caused him endless pain, but he couldn't flinch.
"Go and find some thorns for me!" Since we are going to plead guilty, we have to put on a good show.
The maid agreed and left.
After a while, the thorn sticks were found.
Hua Ye asked someone to tie thorn sticks to his back, and he straightened his back.
Those who achieve great things must learn to endure!
As soon as I lifted my steps, my injured calf started to feel excruciating pain, and the injury on my back also worsened.
"My lord, you are injured, so you should sit in a sedan chair. You can walk again when you get to the princess's mansion." The loyal butler advised.
Hua Ye directly rejected it, "I don't know how many spies are packed into my palace. Once I take a wrong step and a trace of news spreads, the consequences will be disastrous. I will never fall down on such a trivial matter."
He always does things safely and considers multiple aspects. He cannot let others catch his mistakes.
After taking a bowl of pain-relieving decoction, Hua Ye walked out.
Every step he took was very difficult.
Finally leaving the gate of the palace, Hua Ye did not take the carriage, but walked slowly towards the princess palace.
Passers-by were very surprised when they saw the noble Prince Ye walking with a thorn stick on his back, and they discussed the reason in confusion.
