Chapter 255: United Forces March East to Dongyue

ghong couldn't help but worry about Jun Liye's safety."Well, Mo, you stay here," With many people having left, Xuen Yuan Luo Chen ordered Xuen Yuan Mo to remain and preside over the situation, lest a...Glancing at her extremely sullen little face, Shangguan Jinghong's expression twitched uncontrollably, "Little girl..."

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard on the back of the head by a fierce woman, "You little brat! You have no manners, I'm your sister-in-law! Call me sister-in-law!"

A slap almost made him bite his own tongue. Covering the back of his head, Shangguan Jinghong glared at her with displeasure and grumbled, “...Let's talk after you've entered the door.”

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time," Su Qingying said generously, not holding a grudge. After the joke, she frowned again and asked, "A Li, since Bei Ling Huang is your uncle, why would he poison you That's simply worse than a beast!"

"Yinger, you must have heard the rumors about me killing my parents," Jun Liye said, his blood-red eyes filled with a sadness that seemed about to overflow. The sorrow was so palpable that even Su Qingying, who usually had no qualms, felt a pang of sympathy.

"Wan'er told me some things, what is it" Su Qingying's heart tightened, and she nodded slightly.

"These rumors are true." Jun Liye painfully closed his eyes, the bloody scene replaying in his mind, everything as if it were yesterday, the pain making his heart tremble, "When I was thirteen years old, I suddenly went mad and lost control of myself. I accidentally killed them. It wouldn't be wrong to call me a patricide and matricide."

His voice was hoarse, but the smile on his face brought Su Qingying immense pain. She frowned and hugged him tightly, “Ari, this isn't your fault. I believe they have spirits in heaven and wouldn't want to see you so self-reproachful and tormented.”

She never knew his past was so dark and painful. At the age of thirteen, he was burdened with the crime of murdering his parents. At thirteen, he had to bear the guilt of his parents' death. At thirteen, how did he survive He must have suffered a lot these years.

Thinking of this, Su Qingying's light heart ached.

"So the Emperor of Bei Ling wouldn't hesitate to break his arm just to deal with you because..." After a long time, she finally raised her small head from Jun Li Ye's embrace and mumbled.

Jun Li Ye softly hummed in response, confirming her guess. Her gaze was serene as she calmly said, “My mother concubine is his most beloved sister. The two of them have been close since childhood, so it’s normal for him to hate me.”

After a pause, his eyes suddenly changed, his gaze like a blade, the pair of deep and eerie blood-colored eyes instantly covered with ferocious killing intent. "Just because of this relationship, I have always tolerated him in every way, no matter how he treated me, I never thought about taking his life. But since returning to the country, not only has he repeatedly provoked my bottom line, but he even dared to attack you. This time, I will definitely not let it go!"

Looking up, Su Qingying blinked her eyes, sincerely feeling that this so domineering and imposing Ari was handsome to the extreme.

On tiptoes, she couldn't help but peck a kiss on his cheek.

"……" Shangguan Jinghong seemed to have been struck by ten thousand volts.

Dude, can you guys consider other people's feelings when you're showing off your love

Suddenly, I really miss his wife. What should I do

"Oh well, I don't know what's going on outside." Su Qingying plopped down on the secret room bench and picked up some fruit from the table to munch on. "Luckily, there are some fruits here, everyone have a bite to tide you over."

"Ying'er, no! Be careful, it's poisonous!" Jun Liye hurried over and snatched the apple from her hand.

This girl is really bold, she dares to put anything in her mouth.

Seeing this, Su Qingying again took a pear from the fruit dish. Before Jun Liye could grab it, she quickly stuffed it into her mouth and took a big bite, chewing while mumbling, "I don't think there's much chance of it being poisonous. Look at this secret room, the walls are inlaid with night pearls, the bed frame and table are made of the best rosewood, even the bedding and curtains are rare ice silkworm silk. Isn't everything here priceless I think Shangguan Jianren must have taken great care of the person living in this secret room."

"Indeed." Jun Liye was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, she realized that what she said was very reasonable.

This place is full of luxury, everything is extremely valuable. It doesn't look like a prison at all.

The decorations here are not at all like the style Shangguan Jianren would like, rather they seem more like a woman's residence.

But I wonder who would live here

"Shangguan Saobao, you say, could your old man's mistress be living here" Su Qingying tossed him an apple nonchalantly.

Shangguan Jinghong took the apple she had thrown to him, placed it on his sleeve and wiped it vigorously. After taking a large bite, he gave her a roll of his eyes unceremoniously and said disdainfully, "He's the emperor. If he truly likes a woman, why would he need to hide it so much He could simply make her a consort or a concubine. Your speculation doesn't hold up."

With a flick of her lips, Su Qingying stretched out a finger and lightly shook it, nonchalantly saying: "Cut the crap, you can't just look at the surface. What if he's a secret lover Look here, the food and utensils are obviously for women. Could it be that he has a penchant for cross-dressing"

Well, the female clothing of the Shangguan JIanren is a bit eye-catching!

"Yinger is right, this possibility can't be ruled out." Jun Liye nodded in agreement, ignoring her last sentence.

"Could it be someone" After finishing an apple with a blink, Shangguan Jinghong stared fixedly at Su Qingying, her eyes clearly inquiring.

“You asked me How would I know, I’m not him.” She tossed another fruit to him, Su Qingying rolled her eyes and gave him a big one, “Anyway, we’re not getting out of here anytime soon. Come over and eat something first, save some energy. Otherwise, before we even escape this room, we’ll starve to death. That would be such a pathetic way to die.”

When she has no idea If she knew, would she still be trapped here I really don't know how that goofball's brain works.

Two blossoms open, each representing one branch.

Several days later, Xi Ming Kingdom, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, Beiling Kingdom has sent an urgent sealed letter traveling eight hundred miles." A guard walked in respectfully, holding the letter with both hands and presenting it to Emperor Xuan Yuan Locen.

At this, Xuan Yuan Mo raised a handsome eyebrow and shook his gilded fan as he walked over to Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's side. "The Northern Border Emperor What kind of tricks is that old fox playing Our Xi Ming has no dealings with him."

With a glance, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen frowned almost imperceptibly. A few strands of confusion appeared on his handsome and icy face, “Bring the sealed letter here.”

The guards didn't hesitate, immediately presenting the envelope in their hands to him.

He quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and Xuan Yuan Luocheng read it line by line. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed, and a look of obvious surprise appeared on his face.

Seeing his face stern, with furrowed brows, Xuan Yuan Mo couldn't help but be curious. He leaned in and asked, "Brother Emperor, what does this sealed letter say"

He handed the letter directly to him, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen meaningfully narrowed his eyes, the sharp outline of his handsome face slightly raised a playful and mocking sneer, "Jun Li Ye was poisoned by Qian Qiu San, his life is near its end. This old fox invited me to join the army to conquer Dong Yue, taking advantage of Dong Yue's unrecovered vitality, to divide this Dong Yue, what a great temptation!"gying was a little lazy and didn't want to get up. She just turned her head to look at Jun Liye, and rubbed her face lightly against his broad chest, looking very satisfied.“I want to eat you!” Jun Li...
