Zhui Feng walked down. At this moment, Yun Xiao, led by the waiter, was heading towards the second floor. She instructed the waiter to open a private room for them to enjoy tea and the street view. xxs
Unexpectedly, she saw Zhui Feng walking down towards her. Yun Xiao's expression darkened, becoming somewhat displeased.
Although she knew that some matters were not the fault of these subordinates, she still felt bothered and didn't have a good expression. Especially where Zhui Feng appeared, it was likely that Murong had come out of the palace.
So she had encountered him unexpectedly. This Yan Jing City, it wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. She hadn't expected to run into him so easily. She really didn't know what to say.
Yun Xiao was contemplating. Now, she didn't know whether to go or stay. However, she didn't expect Zhui Feng to walk directly in front of her and respectfully say, "Miss Yun, my master requests your presence."
Yun Xiao's expression turned slightly cold, a smile playing on her lips, but there was no warmth in it. Her gaze slowly shifted away from Zhui Feng.
In this short period, several thoughts flashed through her mind.
Should she directly walk away, or slap him and then leave, or go and slap his master? However, after glancing at the people on the landing of the stairs, she changed her mind. Looking at Zhui Feng, she nodded slightly and readily said,
"Alright, lead the way."
"Yes," Zhui Feng turned and led the way. Yun Xiao followed behind him upstairs. Seeing that the two would share a private room, the waiter went down to attend to other guests.
After a few steps, Yun Xiao reached the landing of the stairs and greeted the person walking towards her.
"Wu Yun."
It turned out that this person was Ye Wu Yun, the number one gentleman of Yan Jing. He carried himself with elegance, his brows clear, spread like a moon among stars. His face, like calm water, was full of radiant luster, as if all the shackles he once carried had been released.
He now resembled a detached immortal, like a hermit amidst mountains with no birds flying and no paths trodden, a solitary figure by the river, fishing in the cold.
Such an artistic conception and tranquility were enviable.
Ye Wu Yun had originally received a report from the innkeeper that a distinguished guest had arrived, so he came to take a look, not expecting to see Yun Xiao.
At this moment, he glanced at Zhui Feng beside Yun Xiao and immediately knew who had come. It seemed he had to go and greet them, so he walked with Yun Xiao and asked with concern,
"Is everything alright?"
Ye Wu Yun was completely unaware of the recent court affairs or the matters between Shangguan Yin and Yun Xiao. Besides the Ye Mansion and the restaurant, he remained oblivious to everything else.
Yun Xiao turned her head to look at him. Seeing his clear complexion, it was evident that he was unaware of the matters between her and Shangguan Yin, so she didn't feel angry. She said faintly,
"Very well."
The two spoke naturally as they followed Zhui Feng towards the best private room in Qin Yu Lou.
Zhui Feng, walking ahead, felt a tingling scalp. He knew his master cared a lot about Miss Yun.
He wondered if his master could maintain his composure upon seeing Miss Yun so intimate with this Master Ye. He worried inwardly, wishing Master Ye good luck.
In the luxurious private room, the silence was so profound that one could hear a pin drop.
Yun Xiao and Ye Wu Yun walked in, standing naturally beside Ye Wu Yun, and casually smiled at the eldest son of the Ye family.
The man who had been reclining lazily on the couch in the private room suddenly sat up straight. The coldness around him resembled a young lion preparing to attack, crouching, filled with a bloodthirsty intensity.
His eyes, cold and clear like midnight stars, were filled with a swirling chilling wind. His lips were tightly pressed together, staring silently at Yun Xiao's hand, which was comfortably and naturally holding Ye Wu Yun's sleeve, in a very intimate posture.
The air was filled with a tempest, lightning, and thunder, a clash of gazes that shook the heavens.
Poor Ye Wu Yun had no idea what he had done to be subjected to the Emperor's murderous glare.
If eyes were swords, he would have been killed countless times. Following the Emperor's gaze, he saw Yun Xiao tugging at his sleeve and was startled. He quickly took a step back, his face pale.
When did he become so close to this Miss Yun? No wonder the Emperor's expression was so unpleasant, wishing to kill him. So it was Miss Yun who had set him up.
"I?"
Ye Wu Yun wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. As soon as he opened his mouth, the door of the private room was suddenly opened from the outside. Shangguan Lin's figure flashed in, panting as he said, "Your Majesty, Yun Xiao is here. What a coincidence, what a coincidence!"
His Imperial Brother had ordered him to pick up Yun Xiao, but he had forgotten this matter while arguing with Prince Li and the Northern Emperor. Just now, seeing Liu Xing and Jing Yun, two fellows, outside the door, he knew Yun Xiao had arrived.
However, seeing the chilling air flowing through the private room, he didn't know what had happened. He looked at everyone, and finally, seeing Ye Wu Yun also standing in the room, he asked in surprise,
"What are you doing here?"
Ye Wu Yun opened his mouth to speak, but Yun Xiao leaned closer to him again: "Emperor Yin, please forgive me. He is my confidant, so I invited him to come along."
"Confidant?" Several pairs of eyes flickered with darkness. Confidant, what is this?
In the private room, several people were confused, not knowing what this confidant was.
However, in Shangguan Yin's eyes, it was undoubtedly something intimate. Therefore, his heart felt heavy, his eyes became even colder, and the killing intent surrounding him glared fiercely at Ye Wu Yun, as if he had done something heinous.
Ye Wu Yun turned and glanced sideways at Yun Xiao. Because they were close, he faintly saw the calculation in her eyes. It seemed she was using him. Was she having a spat with the Emperor?
But she shouldn't harm him like this. He couldn't afford to have any accidents now. The entire Ye family depended on him. So Ye Wu Yun quickly said,
"I seem to have something else to do. You all chat leisurely."
Saying this, he didn't wait for Yun Xiao to speak. His figure flashed and moved away like a wisp of light cloud on the horizon. Shangguan Lin followed closely behind him, and as he left, he also dragged Zhui Feng along.
In the blink of an eye, only two people remained in the private room.
Shangguan Yin's dazzlingly radiant face, like a pearl, saw the frost slowly recede, replaced by a faint smile. His deep eyes were like clear ripples in a green pool, shimmering with alluring light, gazing intently at Yun Xiao.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yun Xiao spoke with a distant politeness. In fact, she was unaccustomed to speaking this way. Her previous mode of interaction with Murong was one of infinite indulgence.
Although his expression and tone of speech were still similar to before, he had lost her memory, and she still felt quite dejected. The words that came out of her mouth were much more distant.
