After Bai Aoxue said that, she felt Qi Liange's burning gaze.
Bai Aoxue looked up at Qi Liange with astonishment, while she saw Qi Liange looking at her with burning gaze.
"What?" Bai Aoxue felt baffled. She looked at Qi Liange and asked. She didn't feel that she was wrong. Her sense of smell was much more sensitive than common people.
It was not surprising that she could smell the fragrance of pelargonium that day.
When Qi Liange saw that Bai Aoxue looked at him confusedly, he withdrew his burning gaze and said: "Nothing. I just feel that you're meticulous."
Bai Aoxue smiled faintly and said inadvertently: "How can I not be meticulous? I cherish my life very much."
In just two sentences, Qi Liange knew that Bai Aoxue was not joking.
Bai Aoxue looked indifferent. If people didn't know her, perhaps they would think that her difference was caused by her character. However, if they looked at her carefully, they would find that Bai Aoxue's indifferent came from the bottom of her heart.
Besides, it seemed that she didn't care anything when she looked at people. In fact, she was naturally bloodthirsty. Only people who treated killing as daily routine would be bloodthirsty as she was.
When he first saw her in that alley, she was decisive when she took her move. She showed no mercy to her enemies.
"Yeah... everyone cherishes their lives." Qi Liange sighed. Probably he was talking in his sleep.
After Qi Liange said those words with such a tone, Bai Aoxue did not answer him. Everyone has the past, don't they?
When Qi Liange just wanted to continue, he heard some noise outside. He frowned involuntarily. Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Liange who was like a god even when he was frowning, as if she saw thousands of petals falling from pear trees.
"Haha, it seems that someone is coming. Today, I should leave. Miss Bai, you should have a good rest, and I will come and visit some other day!" Qi Liange unknotted his brows as if he never frowned just now.
Bai Aoxue also heard footsteps. If someone found that there was a strange man in her courtyard at this time, there would be an unnecessary great stir.
"Prince Peerless, take care. Forgive me for not walking you out." Bai Aoxue nodded lightly.
Qi Liange did not say anything. He immediately turned around, raising his hand to block the glaring sunlight. After picking up his mouth and smiled, he suddenly disappeared.
When Bai Aoxue saw that Qi Liange disappeared, she couldn't help picking up her eyebrows slightly. Although she knew that Qi Liange was very powerful, she did not expect him to be so good at martial arts.
It seemed that the word 'peerless' wasn't in vain. She just didn't know whether Jun Yeyan was stronger than him!
What Bai Aoxue didn't know was that Qi Liange, who left Prime Minister's mansion, looked at Bai Aoxue's direction. He raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight again and muttered: "She is as dazzling as ever. I really want to own her, although I will be burnt..."
A cool breeze blowing, Qi Liange was already disappeared...
On the other side, in Bai Aoxue's small courtyard, a group of people poured in with a lot of huge boxes.
And people who leaded them were Bai Qiwei and Cangsheng who came here with Jun Wuhen's verbal instruction.
"Prime Minister Bai, I need to tell Miss Bai His Majesty's verbal instruction, so please leave us alone." He looked at Bai Qiwei with embarrassment.
When Bai Qiwei heard Cangsheng's words, he knew that what Jun Wuhen let him deliver was important. However, he couldn't listen to their conversation, so he was extremely angry.
"Well, I shall leave first. Please, Eunuch." Bai Qiwei gnashed his teeth, while he still looked kind.
Cangsheng nodded and didn't reject him. Leading those imperial servants, Cangsheng followed Mumian, who had already come out because of noise, to Bai Aoxue's room.
After Bai Aoxue heard Mumian's report, she knew that they were Jun Wuhen's people, so she said faintly: "Come in."
Although she looked pale, she didn't sound weak at all.
If Cangsheng hadn't known that Bai Aoxue was injured, maybe he wouldn't have believed it.
Mumian gently pushed the door then stood aside to let Cangsheng come in.
"Eunuch, this way please. Miss can't walk around now. Please come in." Mumian said respectfully. Although Mumian didn't have any special feeling about this person who came from the palace, Mumian thought that Cangsheng was not bad. At least, he was kind Bai to Aoxue.
Cangsheng nodded. Although he seemed to be calm, only he knew that how scared he was when he knew that Bai Aoxue was injured, especially when she was taken away by Dark King. He almost thought that he would never see her again.
A gorgeous girl gently said that "still water run deep, and songs accompany with sea and Sheng" at the warmest moment of a spring day.
Fortunately, she was the one who was blessed. She came back safely.
When Cangsheng walked in, he saw Bai Aoxue who gave him a warm smile.
Her pale face didn't affect her beauty. For a moment, Cangsheng feel that she could be a red lotus in full bloom. She also could be a pure and sacred snow lotus.
But no matter who she was, she was unreachable.
"Here you are." Bai Aoxue spoke first, as if she was asking an old friend whom she had known for a long time.
Looking at Bai Aoxue, Cangsheng felt warm. He also gave her a smile and said: "Yes, here I am."
"His Majesty heard that Miss Bai was sick, so he especially sends me to visit Bai Aoxue and awards Bai Aoxue some gifts." When Cangsheng saw those imperial guards, who came in with him, he changed his tone and said seriously.
Bai Aoxue did not smile. She just looked at Cangsheng decently and politely: "Thanks for His Majesty's concern. I'm alright and I'll recover after a few days of rest. Thanks for His Majesty's reward." Then she planned to take off the lid then got out of bed.
Seeing this, Cangsheng hurried stepped forward and said: "Miss Bai, take a good rest. His Majesty also said that you don't need to kneel down."
Bai Aoxue did it just for appearance's sake. When she listened to Cangshang's words, she said: "Thanks for His Majesty's concern."
Cangsheng smiled and said: "Miss Bai, you're too polite. After a few days, you will be His Majesty's sister-in-law. How can His Majesty not care about Miss Bai?"
And those guards around Cangsheng also echoed him.
After Bai Aoxue listened to Cangsheng's words, she did not answer. She only smiled.
"These boxes are some jewels that His Majesty awards to you. Besides, there are some silk and draperies which were paid as some of the tributes in early years. They are all excellent fabrics. Many concubines in palace like them very much, but they can't get them. It seems that His Majesty really hopes that you can become his sister-in-law." He pointed at those boxes in front of him and said so.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said: "Thanks for His Majesty's award. I'm much honored to become a member of the imperial family."
Cangsheng looked at those guards and said: "Wait for me outside. His Majesty ordered me to tell Miss Bai's something that can only be heard by her."
Those guards also knew that Cangsheng was one of Jun Wuhen's favorites, so they did not dare to waste time. They left Bai Aoxue's room in an orderly manner.
Bai Aoxue looked at Mumian who was still in the room and said: "Mumian, find some people to carry these boxes."
When Mumian heard her words, she said: "Miss, don't you have a look at those things inside?"
Bai Aoxue shook her head and said: "No need."
After Mumian listened to her words, she didn't say anything. She just nodded and went out to find servants.
When Cangsheng saw that Mumian also left, he asked Bai Aoxue anxiously: "How about your injury? Is it serious?"
"It's okay. I will be alright after a few days. Don't worry." When Bai Aoxue saw that Cangsheng was nervous, she smiled faintly. She was not surprised by Cangsheng's care. After all, Cangsheng was her friend!
"That will be the best. Don't be so rash or careless in the future! I really worried about you." Cangsheng still had a lingering fear.
Looking at Cangsheng who worried about her so much, Bai Aoxue smiled and said: "It won't happen again."
"His Majesty let me tell you something. He said that after you marry to 5th prince, you should try to find whether he is in contact with ministers." He looked at Bai Aoxue and said seriously.
When Bai Aoxue listened to Cangsheng's words, she frowned. She didn't expect that Jun Wuhen would let her act so soon.
It seemed that Jun Wuhen couldn't wait to kill Jun Yeyan...
Seeing that Bai Aoxue kept quiet, Cangsheng did not speak. He just waited for her reply in silence.
At this time, Bai Aoxue did not think too much. She must discuss this thing with Jun Yeyan first.
"I know. Go back and tell His Majesty that Jun Yeyan doesn't trust me now. Only after I marry him and win his trust through getting along with him can I start to find the information that he needs. After all, I don't want to lose my life so easily." After Bai Aoxue thought for a while, she looked at Cangsheng and said slowly.
After Cangsheng heard Bai Aoxue's words, fierce light flashed across his eyes, but his expression didn't change.
"I know. I will report to His Majesty. You need to be careful." Cangsheng reminded her uneasily.
Bai Aoxue nodded to show that she knew. Although she and Cangsheng were friends, Cangsheng was Jun Wuhen's servant, which meant that they would walk on different roads one day.
"It's getting late. You should have a good rest, and I should go back to imperial palace now." Looking at the sky, Cangsheng's eyes were deep. It was hard for people to see through him.
"Sure. So, I don't walk you out. Be careful." Bai Aoxue did not ask him to stay.
After Cangsheng's leaving, Bai Aoxue looked at the empty room in a daze.
Perhaps Jun Wuhen had already noticed the abnormalities of Jun Yeyan. He just didn't take any movements. Probably it was because he hadn't found out unapparent details about Jun Yeyan.
Then, what about Jun Yeyan? Why didn't he act? Once Jun Wuhen acted before him, it didn't do him any good!
Just when Bai Aoxue was deep in thought, a person had already arrived by stepping on air. Regardless of Bai Aoxue's strange gaze, he held Bai Aoxue in his arms tightly.
Bai Aoxue smelled that refreshing green bamboo fragrance which got into her heart.
She stopped thinking for a moment, but she immediately realized that she! Was! Flirted!
"Jun Yeyan! What are you doing! Let me go!" Bai Aoxue said angrily. If people ignored her reddish ear tips, they would think that her words were majestic.
Jun Yeyan ignored her words. He just held Bai Aoxue in his arms tightly as if he was a stubborn child who wouldn't admit his failure.
Bai Aoxue did not dare to struggle. After all, her wounds were recovering these days, she did not want to fail because a lack of a final effort.
Just when Bai Aoxue gave up her struggle, Jun Yeyan gently released her.
His original black eyes were now more fascinating and charming. But when people looked at them carefully, they could still find that there was inexplicable anger in his eyes!
"Xue..."
