This Xie Jin is truly unreasonable!
How unlikeable!
But Xie Jin was looking at Zhan Tianye and waiting for his response.
For a moment, with his speech, the few of them were unable to say anything here.
It felt like being a mute who had eaten bitter herbs.
"You can," Zhan Tianye said coldly.
His gaze suddenly fell upon Zhen Lin's look at Yun Shu, a look filled with entangled affection.
Instantly, a dark glint appeared in his eyes, and the chill emanating from his body erupted without concealment. "Young Master Zhen, join us."
Zhen Lin had been secretly watching Yun Shu, believing he had hidden his emotions well and that no one could see them. But unknowingly, everything happening around them seemed to freeze.
He had forgotten where he was.
Until this cold voice called him.
Zhen Lin's spine stiffened, his thoughts quickly returned, he turned his gaze to Zhan Tianye, and his voice seemed to carry a hint of stiffness, "Alright."
Xie Jin hadn't paid attention earlier and heard Zhan Tianye call Zhen Lin. He then discovered something amiss.
This Young Master Zhen had quite the nerve, daring to covet the person the Prince of Night favored!
Wasn't that courting death?
And as for that Princess Ningde, to pine for someone whose heart was as cold as stone was simply asking for trouble. For Yun Shu to be in the Prince of Night's thoughts was truly a miracle, like a thousand-year-old iron tree blooming.
To expect the iron tree to bloom again was sheer delusion.
After Zhan Tianye, Xie Jin, and Zhen Lin walked out of the pavilion, the Emperor, with a stern face, dismissed Yun Shu and the others. "Since Young Master Zhen has gone for a walk with the Prince of Jin and the others, Princess Ningde, you should also take the Prince of Night's Consort for a stroll. As for General Yun and your party, if you are tired from your journey to the palace, please rest for a while. You may instruct the palace servants for anything you need."
Yun Shu and Yun Changfeng exchanged glances, seeing a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.
It seemed the Emperor of Xixia's patience was wearing thin.
The three little ones were also obedient. After Yun Shu and Yun Changfeng agreed, they got up and left the pavilion with them.
However, the Emperor's request for Yun Shu and Princess Ningde to have some private time could not be refused.
The two walked along the palace path.
Occasionally, a few palace servants would pass by.
Princess Ningde felt Yun Shu beside her drawing the attention of everyone who passed, and a deep sense of jealousy welled up within her.
A face that could deceive the world.
No, a face that could deceive men.
Possessing such a face could indeed easily make men lose their senses and keep them in their hearts.
Princess Ningde's mind was filled with various thoughts.
Her emotions were unsettled.
Even her aura began to change, but she herself did not notice. Yun Shu, however, standing beside her, sensed Princess Ningde's hostility towards her.
It was a contempt and hostility that emanated from the very depths of her bones.
However, no matter how much Princess Ningde disliked Yun Shu's face or how resentful she was, she calmed down at this moment and spoke first, "Prince of Night's Consort."
Yun Shu tilted her head to look at Princess Ningde. "Mm."
"His Highness Prince of Jin and the Prince of Night do indeed resemble each other, but they are not the same person. Just now, Prince of Night's Consort lost her composure before His Majesty. To me, the person Prince of Night's Consort was seducing is the man I am going to marry. Both logically and emotionally, anyone in this situation would feel displeased. Please remember what I say, Prince of Night's Consort, and do not meet with His Highness Prince of Jin alone in the future. If His Highness Prince of Jin says anything that causes you to misunderstand, please forget it and do not keep it in your heart."
Princess Ningde couldn't help but assert her claim.
In Dongning Kingdom, she couldn't intervene. Back then, she couldn't prevent certain things from happening.
Nor could she prevent Yun Shu from ultimately getting what she wanted.
But now, she could stop it.
She was the one standing in the sunlight, able to approach the person she wanted to approach and marry the person she wanted to marry.
In front of her, Yun Shu was a stumbling block.
One could not be at ease without removing it.
Yun Shu's gaze turned cold, and she looked at Princess Ningde with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Self-deception is not a good habit."
Princess Ningde's face immediately changed. This lightly spoken sentence seemed to pierce her heart like a thorn.
It pierced her so much that she momentarily found it difficult to breathe.
She immediately tightened her lips.
"What is false cannot become true. You know right from wrong in your heart, Princess Ningde. There is no need to say certain things," Yun Shu's voice deepened, carrying a hint of coldness.
Princess Ningde's already gloomy expression turned extremely icy.
Extremely sinister.
Her gaze seemed to wish to kill Yun Shu.
The embarrassment of having her heart exposed.
And the bloody truth that had been revealed.
"Prince of Night's Consort, this is Xixia Kingdom. Some matters are different from Dongning Kingdom. What is permissible in Dongning Kingdom will follow a different rule in Xixia Kingdom. Right and wrong are not the same as you perceive them to be," Princess Ningde said in a deep voice.
Yun Shu smiled faintly. "Is that so?"
Princess Ningde clenched her hands. Seeing Yun Shu's nonchalant demeanor, as if she didn't care at all, she suddenly realized that Yun Shu's reliance was on her past with Zhan Tianye, and those three children.
The three children...
And her memory of wanting to fulfill her brother's wish.
These matters could begin to be prepared for.
As soon as possible... to achieve her desires.
On the other side.
The trio walked.
As they passed by, or saw the three of them, ladies and palace servants from various families inevitably cast sideways glances.
Almost all the women blushed.
Zhan Tianye naturally attracted the attention of many, but after the Snow Spirit Snake incident, many women had retreated.
No matter how much they wanted to marry him, they would not dare to gamble with their lives.
They heard from the palace staff that sometimes the Snow Spirit Snake could be seen in places where the Prince of Jin appeared. The Snow Spirit Snake was always with the Prince of Jin. Sometimes, when some palace maids tried to get close to the Prince of Jin, the Snow Spirit Snake would suddenly appear and crawl towards the palace maid's feet.
This scared the palace maids into shrieking.
Some even wet themselves on the spot.
Thinking that marrying the Prince of Jin would mean facing not only Princess Ningde but also being threatened by a Snow Spirit Snake, who would dare?
Today, seeing the dashing Xie Jin and the Young Master Zhen, who had amazed everyone at the hunt, their hearts began to stir.
Upon inquiring with the surrounding palace servants, they learned that the charming man with peach blossom eyes was an envoy from Dongning Kingdom.
A woman's heart is always easily stirred.
Xie Jin winked at those who were looking at him.
Each of his seductive glances was captivating, mesmerizing the hearts of the women.
"There are thousands of women in the world, but some are simply not to be coveted. Don't you think so, Young Master Zhen?" Xie Jin observed Zhan Tianye's gaze, which was still filled with killing intent towards Zhen Lin, yet he still couldn't say a word. Since he had often spoken harsh words for Zhan Tianye in the past, he might as well say them now.
