"But..." Nalan Youhong was interrupted by Jun Yeyan when he was about to say something.
"There is no 'but'. I never take back my words!" Jun Yeyan glanced at Nalan Youhong indifferently.
When Nalan Youhong saw Jun Yeyan's eyes, he shut up in a huff.
"Zhao, you should go to see Xue with me in a while." Jun Yeyan looked at Zhao who was silent.
Bai Aoxue was proud. If he let Zhao follow her without asking for admission, she would think that he was monitoring her. Only if he suggested to protect her before she recovered would she probably agree.
"As my king wishes!" Zhao also understand that Jun Yeyan always stood by his word. They couldn't question nor object him.
In these people's eyes and hearts, Jun Yeyan was always right.
Nalan Youhong knew that once Jun Yeyan made a decision, it couldn't be changed.
He sighed slightly and didn't stop him anymore.
"Hong, you go to General's mansion and appease them. You can just say that Xue has been sent to your hospital. It's not convenient for her to move since she is seriously injured. She will go back in few days when she starts to recover." Jun Yeyan turned to look at Nalan Youhong and said.
When Nalan Youhong heard that he also had a task, he looked at Jun Yeyan with bright eyes instead of being crestfallen.
"Let Xue go to imperial palace if Jun Wuhen summons her. After this thing, Jun Wuhen would definitely pay more attention to Xue." Jun Yeyan continued without waiting for Nalan Youhong to reply.
Nalan Youhong knew that Jun Yeyan would definitely plan everything for Bai Aoxue. He nodded: "I will tell General Ye, so I should go first."
"Sure, you could go. Tell them not to worry about Xue and don't breathe a word of Xue's location." Jun Yeyan said faintly. He didn't ask Nalan Youhong to stay.
"By the way, today I went to Prime Minister's mansion, so did Qi Liange. He probably saw Miss Bai and followed her. He also helped Miss Bai. I found that he is very interested in her." Nalan Youhong, who was planning to leave, suddenly said.
But he did not notice that Jun Yeyan's expression suddenly changed.
"And then?" Jun Yeyan asked indifferently, even Zhao, who was beside him, felt that his voice was different.
"Then, Miss Bai let Qi Liange go. Besides, Qi Liange saw her in a very strange way. Yan, you are in danger!" Nalan Youhong shook his head and sighed.
Nalan Youhong, who kept saying, did not notice that Zhao who was batting his eyelids at him and almost got a cramp. He smiled smugly at Jun Yeyan with no concealment.
"So, you knew that Qi Liange went to Prime Minister's mansion from the beginning. Not only did you not stop him but saw the fight as a show with him in the dark." It seemed that Jun Yeyan's questions were careless.
"Yeah. Qi Liange and I entered Prime Minister's mansion by climbing over the wall. Later on, we were separated. But we met again in front of Miss Bai's small courtyard! It's our fate to meet each other again." Nalan Youhong nodded immediately when he listened to Jun Yeyan's words.
It seemed that he still wanted to continue.
"It seems that it is right for you to accept the punishment! Both you and I are clear about what kind of person Qi Liange is, but you let such a sly fox be around Xue. You didn't expel him. Instead, you joined him in his evil deeds!" Jun Yeyan twisted the silver needle that sewed Bai Aoxue's wound and said lightly.
When Nalan Youhong heard it, he found out that he was trapped by Jun Yeyan when he was unconscious. He quivered and said: "I was worried about Miss Bai, so I didn't think so much...."
Realizing that what he had said was wrong, Nalan Youhong immediately corrected himself: "Oh... I have to go to General's mansion. It's getting late so I need to hurry up in case General Ye worries about Miss Bai. If there is any news, I will let you know."
Then he left like he was driving the wind as if something horrible was chasing him.
Looking at Nalan Youhong's back view, Jun Yeyan was deep in thought.
It turned out that Qi Liange cared about Xue so much. Should he feel happy that Xue was so attractive or vexed since she attracted so many people?
"Haha..." Jun Yeyan started to laugh when he was thinking. When did he become an immature boy?
In the past, he wouldn't change anything even if the sky fell down. However, his anger was going to destroy the earth just by looking at the scene that Bai Aoxue was hurt.
When he heard that Qi Liange was interested in Bai Aoxue, he began to feel restless again.
He thought that Qi Liange wasn't good as him, and he never take Qi Liange seriously, but people were so vulgar to think that Qi Liange was the best man in the world.
However, because he was concealing his strengths and bode his time, he couldn't show his real face, so his image suffered a drastic decline.
Qi Liange was a notch above him.
Jun Yeyan also discovered that people whom he once disdained to compare with became his threat!
So, what did Bai Aoxue think of him? And what did she think about Qi Liange?
Looking at his master's expression which was sometimes cruel, sometimes gentle and sometimes confused, Zhao was quite puzzled.
But he was astonished by that flashed tenderness. Zhao, whose heart was as clear as a mirror, knew that Jun Yeyan's tenderness was only for one person!
Yes, that person was Bai Aoxue. Jun Yeyan even put away his own safety for her!
Just when Zhao was signing with emotion, Jun Yeyan was eager to see Bai Aoxue. He turned to look at Zhao and said: "Come to see Xue with me. She will be your master, too. So, her orders are equal to mine!"
When Zhao heard Jun Yeyan's words, he said respectfully and seriously: "If Miss Bai can convince me, I'll treat her as my second master!"
When Jun Yeyan heard Zhao's words, he nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't need a subordinate who could only obey his orders. He must have his own ideas and judgments.
His subordinates were going to seize state power and rock the world with him. Such subordinates were not brothers if they kept to conventional ways!
Both Zhao and Nalan Youhong were his brothers. He considered himself lucky enough to meet them.
"Let's go. She is wonderful and convincing!" Jun Yeyan smiled and walked out of the hall.
Zhao immediately followed Jun Yeyan.
And Bai Aoxue, on the other side, had woken up for a while.
She was thinking about countermeasures. Now she severed relationship with Bai Qiwei. Bai Qiwei must go to palace for rewards by seizing the news that she was rescued by Dark King.
Jun Wuhen wouldn't let any valuable news pass. He would surely keep harassing her!
Just when Bai Aoxue was thinking, Jun Yeyan's deep voice sounded outside.
"Does Miss Bai wake up?"
"Responding to Your Highness, Miss Bai has woken up. We are preparing meals." A little servant at the door replied respectfully.
"Well, bring them in directly as fast as possible." Jun Yeyan ordered faintly.
"As your wish, Your Highness." The little servant replied respectfully.
Jun Yeyan pushed the door and went in.
When he just walked in, he saw Bai Aoxue's sparkling eyes that were like lakes. He was eager to catch that unreal dream under the moonlight.
"Just in time. I have something to discuss with you." Bai Aoxue first started.
When she looked at Jun Yeyan, she glanced at Zhao who was behind him.
His ability of hiding was first-class, and he was also good at martial arts, but he had no murderous atmosphere at all. His eyes were peaceful, and his mood was calm.
Those people like him had the biggest chance to let people lower their vigilance and therefore win their favor, but they were also the scariest!
Only such people could be called as killers, assassins and strong people!
Jun Yeyan also knew what Bai Aoxue wanted to say, so he nodded and walked forward: "Shoot."
"Bai Qiwei must have told Jun Wuhen what happened today after he went to palace. Neither do I know Dark King nor know why he saved me. Now I stand on the teeth of the storm, which will definitely set you in trouble. This is not good for us!" Bai Aoxue said indifferently without caring that there was someone else in the room.
When Zhao walked in this room, she knew that this person must be trusted by Jun Yeyan. If not, he wouldn't bring him in!
"Tonight, you pretend to be Dark King's subordinate and sent me back to General's mansion. I can say that my mother once saved Dark King when he was young. Now he saved me in order to requite my mother's favor." Bai Aoxue frowned slightly and said.
Although she didn't want to take someone who passed away as a cover, since Ye Wanqing already passed away, the dead can't give witness. She believed that since Dark King saved her, he wouldn't uncover her lie!
When Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue's words, he raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.
"In this way, even if Jun Wuhen asks me, I can make excuses! And I need to borrow one or two people temporarily." Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan and said.
"Borrow people? What plans do you have?" Jun Yeyan did not expect Bai Aoxue to borrow people, which just saved him from making excuses to arrange people aside Bai Aoxue.
"I need two people to monitor Prime Minister's mansion for me. One for Su Qianqian and the other for Bai Qiwei. This time, shadow guards wanted to kill me. I'm sure that Su Qianqian must have bought them over." Bai Aoxue's patience towards Su Qianqian's provocation was about to reach the limit.
Jun Yeyan nodded in agreement. No one feuded with Bai Aoxue and wanted to kill her in addition to Su Qianqian and her daughter.
"Su Qianqian's trick didn't work, she must deal me a deadly blow since she was afraid of my revenge. I must take precautions against her tricks. After being patient for a few days, I will definitely give them a big surprise on our wedding day! "Bai Aoxue slightly narrowed her eyes. Cold light flashed across them.
"At that time, I will walk down from the teeth of the storm, letting Bai Qiwei and his party become the objects of public criticism! I'll let them know that even death is not a relief!" Bai Aoxue's peaceful face made people feel cold, while what she said were like ordinary words.
At the same time, Jun Yeyan kept chuckling to himself in his heart because Bai Aoxue said "wedding".
A wedding? Perhaps he had never thought that he would become a woman's husband one day.
From them on, he would spare her pain, tiredness and vagrancy. He would protect her for the rest of her life.
