Zhao Yujiao was thinking subconsciously, how could Ye Chuyan remember the past again when he was obviously burned and lost all his memory?
She shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place. After Ye Chuyan was rescued, she should have been poisoned while she was unconscious.
Ye Chuyan gently touched Zhao Yujiao's frightened pale face.
"You said ~ Pei Xiuyan, a person who is so vengeful, if he knew that I was the one who saved him, you lied to him, and you killed me because of it. What would he do to you?"
Zhao Yujiao's mind exploded.
No! Can't! Absolutely not! Pei Xiuyan hated other people's deception the most. If he knew the truth, he would definitely not let him off lightly.
Ye Chuyan admired Zhao Yujiao's frightened face, and suddenly realized Na Sheng's pleasure in dragging her into the cave.
It's so satisfying to watch the prey struggle to its death.
"Don't be afraid, I won't tell Pei Xiuyan the truth." Ye Chuyan smiled.
The coldness in her eyes and the smile on her lips formed a strange contrast.
After speaking, Ye Chuyan untied Zhao Yujiao's vocal acupuncture point.
Zhao Yujiao hurriedly rolled out of bed and knelt beside Ye Chuyan, tears streaming down her face.
He begged: "Ayan, it was my fault, it's all my fault... I did something unforgivable because of my obsession. I beg you, don't tell the prince. I am willing to leave quietly and never appear in Kyoto again." …”
"Look at the fact that we grew up together, and the fact that I've called you my sister for so many years, let me live... As long as you let me live, I can do anything you want..."
Ye Chuyan laughed loudly when he saw her praying voice getting louder and louder.
"You begged me so loudly because you wanted to alarm the people outside, and then bite back in front of Pei Xiuyan and say that I wanted to kill you in the middle of the night, right?"
"No matter what I say then, Pei Xiuyan will not believe me."
Zhao Yujiao didn't expect Ye Chuyan to reveal her thoughts with one word, and then she suddenly realized that the people in her yard should have had their acupuncture points tapped by Ye Chuyan.
Ye Chuyan had never made a move against her, and she had almost forgotten that Ye Chuyan was a martial arts master.
The coercion and murderous aura released from Ye Chuyan's body now made it difficult for her to breathe.
"Ayan, Ayan, no...listen to me, I sincerely beg you to forgive..."
Zhao Yujiao kowtowed "bang bang" as she spoke.
Ye Chuyan leaned over and lifted Zhao Yujiao's face.
"This face is really confusing. Not to mention Pei Xiuyan, it was because of this charming face that I was so soft-hearted that I took you to the border."
Zhao Yujiao was horrified when she heard this. She covered her face and trembled: "Ye Chuyan, what do you want to do?"
Ye Chuyan crossed her arms and asked, "What, are you afraid that I will scratch your face? Don't worry, I won't!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she slapped Zhao Yujiao hard on the face more than ten times in a row. Each slap was filled with internal energy, and the first one struck Zhao Yujiao blind.
Zhao Yujiao's entire face was swollen like a pig's head, and she was in burning pain.
After she reacted, she found a hairpin from the table, screamed and rushed towards Ye Chuyan.
"Ye Chuyan, you are such a bitch, I will kill you!"
Ye Chuyan raised his eyebrows, picked up a vase at hand, and smashed it on Zhao Yujiao's knee.
Zhao Yujiao groaned, lying on the ground holding her legs and crying bitterly.
Ye Chuyan picked up a fragment of a vase, walked slowly to Zhao Yujiao, squatted down, and severely scratched her injured knee with the fragment.
"Zhao Yujiao, you pushed me off the cliff, you owe me this."
Zhao Yujiao curled up on the ground, almost fainting from the pain, sweating heavily, gasping for air and unable to speak.
Ye Chuyan knelt down and patted Zhao Yujiao's face.
"You hate me for robbing Pei Xiuyan? Why don't you think that I was the one who saved Pei Xiuyan. It was you who robbed me of my life-saving grace first, and then killed me later."
"You want me to care about my old relationship? Okay! Today I care about my old relationship and spare your life. As long as you are honest in front of me in the future, I will keep this secret for you forever, and you can continue to be your Miss Zhao."
Ye Chuyan stood up and looked at Zhao Yujiao with a smile on his face.
"You accidentally fell off the bed today, do you understand?"
She didn't want Zhao Yujiao to die, she wanted Zhao Yujiao to live with fear and fear all day long. Sometimes, living in agony is the greatest punishment.
Zhao Yujiao was so painful that she almost fainted, and her mind was in chaos.
She didn't understand, since Ye Chuyan knew the truth, why didn't he tell Pei Xiuyan first or kill herself first, and then spare her life?
The consciousness of survival made her can only grit her teeth and nod, "I understand...I understand...Thank you...sister...sister!"
After Ye Chuyan left, Zhao Yujiao fainted from the pain.
Ye Chuyan returned to Jiangjiayuan, changed her clothes and lay on the bed, raised her hands and stared carefully.
The injured area on his left hand was still bandaged, and there were traces of blood between the fingers of his right hand, which were left when Zhao Yujiao was scratched just now.
She looked at it for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "It's still dirty."
She is no longer the flamboyant legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Her hands were stained with blood, and she became a ghost held hostage by hatred.
This is the price of revenge.
※
Suburb, Juritei.
Shili Pavilion is a place to say goodbye to relatives who are away from home. It is an octagonal pavilion with official roads on both sides.
It's Haishi now, the city gates have long been closed, and it's the first month of winter, so Shiliting is quiet and deserted in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Pei Xiuyan brought Yan Qi and dozens of secret guards to the nearby area and asked them to surround the place with bows and crossbows. He walked into the pavilion alone.
There are several white gauze lanterns hanging in the west corner of the pavilion. A man in green is playing chess alone, and behind him stands a slim maid in purple.
"Nan Gongli?"
Pei Xiuyan never expected that the person delivering the letter to him would actually be Pingyang Wang Nan Gongli.
Nan Gongli smiled slightly and placed a chess piece on the chessboard.
"How does King Qing think this situation can be resolved?" His voice was always as gentle as a human being.
After speaking, he twisted another chess piece to Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan did not pick up the chess piece after sitting down. He glanced at the chessboard and saw that the black and white chess pieces were almost dead.
After he frowned slightly, he said expressionlessly: "I have always been a close relative of King Pingyang. King Pingyang has something to say first, so why bother trying to be mysterious."
Ever since Nan Gongli took the initiative to talk to Ye Chuyan at the palace banquet, he had felt disgusted with Nan Gongli.
Nan Gongli put down the chess piece in his hand with some disappointment.
"The King of the Qing Dynasty must have felt that there was no solution to this situation, unless everything was done, and both sides would suffer in the end."
Pei Xiuyan's eyes moved slightly and the corners of his lips tightened.
Nan Gongli saw that Pei Xiuyan had something to think about and continued:
"Emperor Tianwu and the emperor want to exchange ten cities for the princess. So what if the prince refuses the emperor today? As long as Pei Ye is the emperor, you will be a lackey under the imperial power."
Pei Xiuyan stood up from the table, drew his sword and pointed it at Nan Gongli's neck, saying angrily: "How do you know this?"
The maid in purple behind Nan Gongli immediately pointed her sword at Pei Xiuyan.
A man named Yan who was watching outside aimed his crossbows at Shiliting's maid and Nan Gongli, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Nan Gongli was neither impatient nor impetuous, calm and composed.
He said slowly to Pei Xiuyan's cold face: "Your Majesty is not angry that I knew about this, but he is angry that I told the truth..."
As long as Pei Ye is the emperor, you will be a lackey under the imperial power!
Pei Xiuyan interrupted him. "Shut up! If you dare to instigate the relationship between the king and the emperor again, I will kill you immediately!"
Nan Gongli couldn't help but chuckle. He took out a yellow envelope from his sleeve and held it in front of Pei Xiuyan.
"Pei Xiuyan, what if you are that king?"
