Peerless Heiress - Chapter 120
Indignant...
Chapter 266: The Crown Princess
"Crown Prince." A voice suddenly rang out from the side. Yuwen Ke and I stopped simultaneously. Turning around, we saw a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a pale yellow gauze gown. She had an exquisite figure, a delicate oval face, fair skin, and a gentle, graceful expression. She seemed vaguely familiar. Beside her stood a pretty young maid, her gaze somewhat timid, reaching out to support the beauty.
I was stunned for a moment. "Princess Dawei?" Uh, no, she's the Crown Princess now.
Wei Yun nodded at me and smiled, "The Left Prime Minister is here too."
I smiled and nodded, pleased to see another beauty. Then, remembering something, I hurriedly tried to pull my hand away, but Yuwen Ke held it tightly. I looked up at Yuwen Ke; he pursed his lips, expressionless, and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Yun's gaze fell on our clasped hands, her face suddenly paled, and she seemed to sway slightly. "I...you..."
That's outrageous!
I bit my lip, then suddenly pulled hard, catching Yuwen Ke off guard, and I easily pulled my hand away. He looked up at me, his gaze cold. I proudly raised my chin. I've said it before, I'm not interested in other people's husbands!
Before Yuwen Ke could say anything, Wu Cheng hurriedly approached, "Your Highness, it's very dangerous here. Perhaps the Crown Princess should move to Gushan City first?"
"Who brought her here?" Yuwen Ke asked, his face grim and his anger rising.
Everyone fell silent, except for Wei Yun, whose sorrowful gaze remained fixed on Yuwen Ke's face.
"Your Highness's question is truly laughable. If a wife comes to find her husband, does she need someone to escort her?" I sneered. "Your Highness should take good care of your wife, lest people laugh at you for not being able to protect your own woman."
"You!" Yuwen Ke was so angry that his hands trembled and his lips turned white.
"Kim Jong-un, come out!" I stomped my foot and suddenly shouted at the people hidden behind the crowd.
Upon hearing the sound, Kim Sam walked over the crowd and came straight to me.
“Let’s go in and take a look.” I ignored Yuwen Ge and walked inside. Jin San followed behind me without saying a word.
After turning through several corridors, Yuwen Ke didn't follow. I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dragged Jin San behind a wall, and whispered, "How did things go?"
"Boss, I haven't seen those three people."
"Huh?" I wondered. How come I didn't see them? Did they not come to this manor? Or had they already escaped through the secret passage?
“Indeed, no.” Kim Jong-un affirmed. “Among the soldiers who came to search beforehand, there were our men. The manor was completely under our control before you arrived, and we didn’t see them.”
"Never mind, never mind, if we didn't see them, that's fine." I waved my hand. Who knows where those guys went?
"Let's go back."
Jin San nodded, his gaze suddenly sharpening. I followed his gaze and saw a tall figure in a black robe, drifting towards the edge of the manor.
"Boss, this guy was eavesdropping on our conversation just now." Jin San's expression was somewhat grave.
"Check his identity," I said bluntly.
"yes."
Chapter 267: I'm not marrying her.
I quickly learned that the man in black robes was one of Yuwen Ke's men, but no matter how I investigated, I couldn't find out his identity.
When we returned to the camp that day, Yuwen Ke had a sullen face the whole time, and the atmosphere in the camp was very unpleasant. Wu Cheng and Yang Huai also had strange expressions when they saw me, as if they wanted to avoid me. It was both infuriating and funny.
When it was time for dinner, a guard came to invite me to eat in Yuwen Ke's tent.
As I stepped out of the tent, I saw the man in black robes emerge from Yuwen Ke's tent in the distance. His expression was cold, and he seemed to glance at me, his eyes sharp as blades.
I frowned.
Upon entering the tent, I found the table laden with food, all of which were my favorite dishes. Only Yuwen Ke sat to one side, carefully removing fish bones.
"Qingyan, come and sit down." He patted the seat next to him, looked up at me and smiled.
"Hmm." I nodded and sat down as instructed. "Where is the Crown Princess?"
Yuwen Ke's smile froze for a moment. He placed the deboned fish into the bowl in front of me and said calmly, "Here, this is your favorite. Try it and see how it tastes today."
"Where is the Crown Princess?" I asked again.
"...She went back to Huaicheng."
"Why?" I asked, surprised.
"There's no reason why, she shouldn't have come." Yuwen Ke said expressionlessly.
I glanced at him, pursed my lips, and suddenly stood up and left. She shouldn't have come. Who should have? Me? Ha!
"Qingyan!"
I kept walking, pretending not to hear. Suddenly, my arm was grabbed, the grip was strong, and the voice was angry, "What are you doing?!"
"Go back, and let go!"
"I won't let you go!" His voice rose, filled with overwhelming anger. "What do you want? What do I have to do for you to stop only thinking about leaving?"
After saying that, for some reason, his voice suddenly became weak. He looked at me sadly and murmured, "...Qingyan, Qingyan...Qingyan..."
Frustrated, I covered my ears, not wanting to hear that unpleasant sound anymore.
This is no fun at all. I can't stay here any longer; I have to leave. Why isn't that damned master coming out? No, I'm not waiting for him. Yuwen Ke is behaving too strangely; it's better to leave sooner rather than later.
"I...I haven't married Weiyun yet..." Yuwen Ke suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, reached out and pulled down my hands that were covering my ears, and said very seriously.
