A black shadow came out of the sky prison and disappeared into the night at an extremely fast speed. This series of actions happened so fast that even the patrolling army didn't notice.
Inside the Prince Lu's Mansion, it was quiet. The servants had all gone to sleep, leaving behind a bright moon hanging in the sky, shining down on every nook and cranny of the Prince Lu's Mansion.
A short while later, a black shadow easily entered Prince Lu's Mansion's backyard from the wall. As if he was familiar with the place, he flipped over the wall and entered the small hut close to the owner's room.
The window of the room was open. He did not push open the door, but rather directly jumped into the room through the window. Quietly, he approached the bed.
It was only March now, and although it was not as cold as winter, the cold was still apparent in the middle of the night with the windows open.
The person who came frowned and looked at the person on the bed and muttered, "Why do they not know how to take care of themselves?"
He turned and closed every window, then went back to the bed.
Because of Yan Jue's matter, Liu Tian Xin had originally not been sleeping deeply. After tossing and turning, she had just fallen asleep.
She lay on her side, facing inside, and the moonlight cast the shadow of the man in front of the window unreservedly on the drapes as she opened her eyes.
Liu Tian Xin's expression turned cold, her fists clenched tightly, her breathing stopped due to her nervousness.
She stared at the reflection of his figure on the bed and watched as he slowly approached her. She became more and more nervous.
In the next second, she lifted the blanket and lifted her foot to kick that person, but as soon as her foot extended out, that person nimbly turned his body and grabbed her ankle. With a slight bit of force, he pulled her towards him.
This action was extremely familiar, but before Liu Tian Xin could recall where she had seen this action before, she was brought into a familiar embrace.
"Xiao Tian Xin, it's me, stop hitting me."
Just as she was about to resist, she stopped because of the familiar voice. She happily raised her eyes and met those smiling eyes, which were gentle and profound.
She wanted to ask something, but she couldn't get her voice out. She could only gesticulate anxiously, "Didn't you get locked up by the Emperor?" Why are you here?
This crime was already huge enough. Now, he had appeared in front of her in the middle of the night wearing night clothes, sneaking around like that, it was obvious that he had escaped from the prison without asking.
She didn't doubt Yan Jue had the ability to do so.
However, if the Kaiser knew that he escaped, then the crime would be even greater. If others knew that he had escaped with his life, then even if he did not do anything, it would be hard to explain.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, his gestures moving even faster, in the next second, Yan Jue was holding his hand tightly, she was bending down to look at him, but at the same time, her face was extremely close, so close that it was almost touching the tip of her nose.
"I was worried about you, so I came out to see you."
His voice was very pleasant to hear. In the middle of the night, it had a kind of ethereal clarity that stirred one's heartstrings.
When she was this close, a warm breath flowed through the tip of her nose, causing Liu Tian Xin's heartbeat to speed up uncontrollably. Her cheeks became hotter and hotter, as if she could boil them at any time.
She subconsciously reached out to her face, only then did she realize that she was asleep in the middle of the night, and didn't put on her veil at all. In an instant, a trace of panic flashed past her face, and she quickly pulled away from Yan Jue.
"Where to?"
Yan Jue looked at her solemnly. He knew why she wanted to escape and he had always known that her face was injured. He had told her that she didn't mind but she was unwilling to admit that he was Liu Tian Xin.
He didn't want to embarrass her, so he didn't force her to take off her veil and accept all sorts of criticism.
He didn't mind it, but it didn't mean that others didn't mind it either. The gazes of those people and the words they spoke were as harsh as he could imagine.
But just now, when he saw the burn on her face, he felt shock and pain in his heart, especially when he saw the sadness and fear in her eyes that he had seen because of his disfigurement.
Liu Tian Xin kept covering his face, watching him retreat step by step, wanting to distance herself from him. She didn't want his ugly face to be seen by Yue Yang so clearly.
Yan Jue stepped forward and used his hands to forcefully take her hands off, forcing her to face him directly, "Hide, why did I say that I already knew it was you. Even if you were to cover your face with a veil, I would still recognize you."
His voice was clear and serious, and every word he spoke was loud and clear.
"Not to mention that you only ruined half of your face, even if your entire face were to be ruined, as long as you are able to stay by my side alive, to me, it would still be a gift from the heavens."
Liu Tian Xin looked at Yan Jue, her eyes opened wide, she felt that this way he could force the tears in her eyes to stop, but the tears kept on coming out, and in the end, still flowed down soundlessly from her eyes.
"Yan Jue, in this lifetime, as long as you, Liu Tian Xin, are ugly, I will not marry anyone else. Even if I am old and die, the person buried beside me can only be you."
Liu Tian Xin didn't say anything, she could only silently shake her head, as tears continuously flowed out from her eyes.
What Yan Jue had said made it even more impossible for her to face him, especially with his appearance that no one dared to look directly at.
How could she bear for him to be mocked behind his back for the rest of his life, and cancel his marriage to a King Lu Consort who had no face to see?
Without her, he did not need to accept anyone's criticism.
Yan Jue looked at the pain in her eyes, and every inch of pain was tugging at his heart.
He stepped forward, and she was like a frightened little bird, quickly retreating a step. He simply stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace, and said with a pleading tone: "Xiao Tian Xin, marry me.
He felt Liu Tian Xin's body violently tremble in his embrace. That fear had grabbed his heart and was extremely painful.
He knew what she was afraid of. She didn't believe him, didn't believe he didn't care about her face, didn't believe he would love her for the rest of his life with that face of his.
He knew what he was saying, but she would never believe it. Who would dare to easily guarantee the future?
