Chapter 134

[Qingyi: Really?]

She didn't even realize he had observed her so carefully.

[Yuchuan: Can you tell me what happened?]

Feng Qingyi briefly explained the recent incident to him.

[Yuchuan: Were you hurt?]

[Qingyi: Of course not, I'm quite capable myself.]

[Yuchuan: In the future, when you encounter similar situations, try to think calmly. The wisest solution is to subdue the enemy without fighting.]

[Yuchuan: Sometimes you need to know how to utilize the resources around you, don't let emotions control you.]

[Qingyi: But sometimes taking action is more effective than reasoning.]

[Yuchuan: If you had encountered someone stronger than you today, you could have been hurt. It's unwise to act rashly before confirming your opponent's strength.]

He always seemed to be so rational.

[Qingyi: ...Alright, I understand.]

[Yuchuan: I don't want you to get hurt.]

[Qingyi: It won't happen again. How come you're free today?]

[Yuchuan: It's my rest time.]

[Qingyi: Oh.]

[Yuchuan: I miss you. Do you miss me at all?]

He's become so straightforward now!

[Qingyi: ...Maybe a little bit!]

[Yuchuan: Mm, I need to continue moving forward. I'll contact you when I'm free.]

[Qingyi: Okay.]

In ancient times, even a simple journey could take ten days to half a month, let alone a military march.

Not everyone had war horses or chariots, most people had to walk. It would probably be after the Lantern Festival before they arrived.

"Yiyi, what are you staring at on your phone? Chatting with your boyfriend?" Jiang Xiaoxiao sat down in the hairdresser's chair after washing her hair.

"We just finished talking."

Jiang Xiaoxiao continued to ask, "You told me last time that you met online, is that true?"

"Yes!" Feng Qingyi replied.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "I always thought someone with your personality wouldn't date online. Is he really good to you?"

Is he good to her? It seems he is indeed quite nice.

"Your Highness, there's someone here!" the young maid exclaimed.

Gao Jiayue recognized the figure leaning against the rockery in the snowy light, "Greetings, Prince Xian!"

The young maid also hurriedly bowed, "This servant pays respects to Prince Xian!"

Xuanyuan Yan opened his hand, "Is this the jade pendant you're looking for, Your Highness?"

Gao Jiayue stared at the man before her, stunned, "Yes, may I request Prince Xian to return the jade pendant to me."

"Return it to you? Your Highness surely jests. This has always been my possession, how can I return something that was never yours?"

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was icy, his expression extremely gloomy.

Gao Jiayue had never seen him like this before; he had never spoken a harsh word to her in the past.

"Xiao Cui, you may withdraw. I have something to discuss with Prince Xian."

The young maid hurriedly left.

Only Xuanyuan Yan and Gao Jiayue remained by the rockery.

"You said you have something to say to me. I'm listening!"

Gao Jiayue seemed at a loss, "A'Yan, why have you become like this?"

"How I've become is none of your concern. Don't speak to me in that tone, you're not worthy."

Remembering the past, he felt incredibly foolish.

This woman never wanted the love she claimed to seek, but power and status.

Now that her plans had fallen through, she thought of him again. Unfortunately, he was no longer the same person.

He could see through her little tricks at a glance.

Gao Jiayue tried to explain, "A'Yan, it was my father's idea back then. I had no choice. You were always the only one I loved."

"I may be blind, but I'm not stupid. Was today part of your plan?"

"A'Yan, I don't understand what you're saying."

Xuanyuan Yan laughed, a laugh full of sarcasm.

"This jade pendant, lost neither earlier nor later, but precisely today, on the anniversary of my mother's death, and lost outside the former Changchun Palace."

"What schemes are you plotting in your heart? Do you think this prince knows nothing?"

"Xuanyuan Sheng no longer cares for you. Are you trying to take advantage of the night to have something happen between us?"

Gao Jiayue was furious. "You... how could you think of me like that?"

"How am I thinking of you? Even if you desired this prince, I'd find it too dirty! Gao Jiayue, please understand your own position, and 'Yan' is not something you're allowed to call me."

As Xuanyuan Yan finished speaking and prepared to leave, Gao Jiayue embraced him from behind.

"Yan, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, won't you?"
