Chapter 190 - The Fragility Moving Her Heart

Jun Yeyan held Bai Aoxue tightly in his arms with both his hands. He bent down slightly and pressed his chin against Bai Aoxue’s shoulder.

“Just stay here for a while like this! Just for a while.” A deep voice sounded in Bai Aoxue’s ear. Bai Aoxue trembled, and her heart was so calm, which was unprecedented.

Without struggling, she let Jun Yeyan lean on her shoulder like this.

Bai Aoxue didn’t know the reason why she felt Jun Yeyan at this moment was so fragile. Yes, the feeling that Jun Yeyan gave Bai Aoxue on this occasion was fragile.

Bai Aoxue never thought that such a powerful man would reveal such a characteristic in front of her.

A heartache was imbued with some joy.

Thinking so, Bai Aoxue raised her hand gently and patted Jun Yeyan’s back slowly.

The scene was quiet and soft, which showed some similarities to a piece of ink painting from a famous master. It floated dimly like a dream but made people feel too beautiful to be absorbed all at once.

Mumian and the followers entered the small courtyard of Bai Aoxue and saw this scene.

Bai Aoxue squinted her eyes slightly, with her chin resting on Jun Yeyan’s shoulder. He looked like a satisfied little cat, with deadly allure and laziness.

Her hands slightly patted on Jun Yeyan’s back with gentle and caring movements.

Although Jun Yeyan turned his back on Mumian and the followers, they could still feel his happiness.

Both of them were dressed in black. Bai Aoxue, with her hair tied up, was less soft than usual. Instead, she was a bit brisker. Confidence and loftiness existed alongside eyebrows and eyes.

The heroic and spirited appearance did not lose her style.

Mumian and the followers did not bear to disturb their unique peace, silently walking out of the yard.

Although Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue were aware that there was someone at the door, they ignored directly. They knew that Mumian and the followers had retreated. Jun Yeyan still held Bai Aoxue tightly.

“Do you think how long Miss and Prince will keep this posture?” Hongxiu looked around the people who looked at each other and asked with great interest.

Zhao took a few steps back consciously when hearing Hongxiu’s words, and Nalan Youhong rarely followed suit this time, thinking with a bitter look.

Mumian looked at Nalan Youhong like this and was a little puzzled, but she did not bear to spoil Hongxiu’s happiness. She said lightly, “Hongxiu, you’d better not guess this time. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you will even lose your monthly salary for next year!”

Hongxiu listened to Mumian’s words and couldn’t help shrinking at the thought of her monthly money.

On this side, both Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan were people with excellent hearing. How could they miss the conversation between Hongxiu and Mumian? Jun Yeyan gently released Bai Aoxue. He held Bai Aoxue’s hand and still clasped her fingers tightly.

“Let’s go. Tomorrow will be the Falling Flower Festival, and we need to make some preparations earlier.” Jun Yeyan dressed the hair on Bai Aoxue’s temples with one hand and gently said.

Bai Aoxue nodded. She was still shy about Jun Yeyan’s intimate actions. Her cheeks were a little reddish. The suspicious flush was barely visible standing on the crystal-clear face, having a special flavor.

Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue like this and gently said to tease her, “The little queen is shy again…”

Hearing that Jun Yeyan called her like this, Bai Aoxue was unexpectedly a little dazed.

Zhao outside the courtyard took the lead in entering the small courtyard as soon as he heard the sound inside.

“Master. Princess.” Zhao respectfully shouted.

Jun Yeyan nodded. Mumian and others including Hongxiu looked at Jun Yeyan’s indifferent eyes, unconsciously cringing.

She didn’t know the reason why Prince’s eyes seemed to pass through between her and Hongxiu just now.

Did the Prince hear their conversation just now? Mumian’s heart was filled with complaints of hardship.

“How will we enter Liujiabao tomorrow?” Bai Aoxue pinched Jun Yeyan’s palm but said calmly on the surface.

The feeling coming from the palm made Jun Yeyan lift his lips up slightly.

“Tomorrow, we will follow Hong into Liujiabao. Liujiabao has already sent an invitation to the Nalan family.” Jun Yeyan said calmly but did not tell Bai Aoxue that he also had the invitation to enter Liujiabao.

Bai Aoxue nodded lightly when hearing Jun Yeyan’s words. Since she had the chance to enter Liujiabao, everything would be much easier. She originally thought that if she could not enter, she could only make an unannounced visit or a violent break-in!

However, with the invitation, she could also know the situation, acting better.

“The governor of Yangzhou City has a deep relationship with Liu Chunjiang. If anything happens to Liujiabao at that time, the governor will certainly not sit idly by. We have to pin down the governor of Yangzhou City as well.” Thinking of the governor, Bai Aoxue discussed it with Jun Yeyan.

Jun Yeyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and then gently nodded. He said, “I have already thought it over. The relationship between the governor of Yangzhou City and Liu Chunjiang only exists in secret rather than on the surface. After all, one is an official while the other one is just an ordinary citizen.”

“Besides, I believe that they will not be stupid enough to let everyone know their communication. After all, the governor of Yangzhou City will be ready to step down if that does happen. So even if we do not contain the governor, he will not dare to do anything on the surface.” After a pause, Jun Yeyan made a serious analysis.

Bai Aoxue also agreed with Jun Yeyan’s analysis when hearing his words.

The relationship between Liu Chunjiang and the governor of Yangzhou City was like that between the bandits and officials, which in ancient times were incompatible. If the relationship between the two people was known by others, there would be no benefits to both of them.

“However, I think that although the governor of Yangzhou City looks stupid, he is smart and well informed. We have not told anyone when coming to Yangzhou City. Nevertheless, the governor of Yangzhou City has been ready to wait for us. This is enough to show his intelligence, so don’t be careless.” Nalan Youhong followed the discussion.

At this moment, Nalan Youhong was less frivolous than before and more responsible.

Never before had Mumian seen Nalan Youhong like this. She was attracted to him for a moment. Returning to her consciousness, she looked into Nalan Youhong’s half-smiling eyes. Mumian was indignant at her carelessness.

After glaring at Nalan Youhong, Mumian stopped looking at him.

“I think Nalan is right. The governor is not as stupid as he looks. Maybe he has already discussed the countermeasures with Liu Chunjiang and only waits for us to take the bait. Maybe Liu Chunjiang already knows that we are the ones who want to help Liu Wan.” Bai Aoxue said and nodded approvingly.

Bai Aoxue’s words, however, were met with a moment of silence.

Looking at Mumian’s and Hongxiu’s incredible eyes, Bai Aoxue smiled gently and said, “Since the fact that we are in Yangzhou has been known by the governor already, he will inform Liu Chunjiang naturally. Besides, Ink-blood Tower has tried to assassinate Jun Yeyan more than once. Even if there are rumors of Jun Yeyan among the people like that, as long as Ink-blood Tower still wants to assassinate Jun Yeyan, Liu Chunjiang will not take it lightly. Perhaps Liu Chunjiang has already sent someone to inquire about the information on Jun Yeyan at this moment.”

When Bai Aoxue’s words fell, Zhao said flatly, “Princess is right. Yesterday Li Xiao and the followers caught several unimportant guys, saying that Liu Chunjiang had sent them to inquire about the news. There may be a lot of such kind of guys.”

Hearing this, Jun Yeyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Ho… They are just rats.”

Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, the mouth of Bai Aoxue was twitched violently. She couldn’t help looking at Zhao and then said, “Where are those people?”

And what Zhao said was as clean as himself. There were only two words. “Be Killed.”

“It seems that the governor of Yangzhou City should also do something. What have you gotten these days?” Jun Yeyan said faintly with a cold and freezing light in his eyes.

“The governor of Yangzhou City has been making contact with Du Siyan almost all these days. The conversation between them goes something like this. Du Siyan wants to draw the governor over to his side. In return, he will put in a few good words for the governor in front of the Emperor.” Zhao detailed the general content.

Jun Yeyan thought for a moment. Then he looked at Bai Aoxue and said, “Falling Flower Festival will start early tomorrow morning. You and Hong will set out together. I will let Li Xiao and Zhao follow you. People at all corners of the country are of different backgrounds. You must be careful.”

Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan and knew he was not joking. She asked softly, “Aren’t you with me?”

Jun Yeyan was shocked when he heard Bai Aoxue’s words but quickly covered it up.

“I’ll go to meet the governor later. If Jun Wuhen feels that the day is too comfortable, I won’t mind making trouble for him at present.” Jun Yeyan said. He shook his head gently and looked at Bai Aoxue without neglecting a moment.

When Bai Aoxue heard Jun Yeyan’s words, she knew that Jun Yeyan had his thoughts. She did not force him anymore.

After all, she also wanted to try. Without Jun Yeyan, could she be as independent as she used to be?

But Bai Aoxue, who thought like this, did not find Nalan Youhong’s unpredictable eyes.

“Master, I will protect the Princess!” Zhao said respectfully.

“People of Ink-blood Tower will definitely go out of the nest tomorrow. Let Luo Su keep well watch on the Night Building. Once things are settled, I will let him join the congregation with you in Liujiabao.” Jun Yeyan nodded gently and said majestically. The mighty breath of the majestic superior overflowed all over his body.

Zhao nodded seriously and did not dare to neglect.

Jun Yeyan turned to look at Bai Aoxue. The eyes which were like those of the phoenix were no longer cold as before, and there was a little more tenderness.

“Would you like to hang out today?”

Bai Aoxue, hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, shook her head gently. The action would start tomorrow, and she also had tasks for Hongxiu and Wenxi.

Jun Yeyan saw Bai Aoxue shake her head. He did not insist.

“Go and change your clothes. I’ll pick you up for dinner later.” Jun Yeyan, as if no one was watching, rubbed Bai Aoxue’s hair and said softly.

Bai Aoxue blushed instantly and nodded quickly. She then turned around and said, “Wenxi, Mumian, and Hongxiu, you all come in.”

After saying that, she quickly left, not letting them see her flushed face.

Hongxiu, Wenxi, and Mumian quickly followed up. They did not understand why Bai Aoxue walked so fast.

At this time, Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue’s back and gently raised his sexy and thin lips.

“Master, let me ask the Five Evil Spirits to follow you tomorrow in the action for tomorrow.” Zhao said seriously, after he saw that Bai Aoxue walked into the door and was sure that Bai Aoxue could not hear him.

Hearing Zhao’s words, Jun Yeyan said lightly, “What do you mean? I am a waste now? Wherever I go, I always need the protection of others?”

Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Zhao immediately explained in a frightened voice, “Master, you are not convenient to use your internal force now. I think the Princess doesn’t want you to be hurt, either. Please think twice.”

Jun Yeyan listened to Zhao’s explanation and twitched his lips. He did not know when Zhao had also learned to use Xue as a shield like this.
