At this moment, Cheng Ziyuan was still very weak. His standing still caused her legs to tremble slightly, and she didn't have much energy to deal with the person in front of her. She lightly glanced at the person who was about to be annihilated by her anger but was still controlling herself.

"I don't blame you."

That light explanation didn't make the expression in Helian Xuanyin's eyes change by much. However, he seemed to have noticed the discomfort before him. He carried the person in his arms and walked towards the nearby Dragon Couch.

It was unknown why Cheng Ziyuan, who was in his embrace, had the feeling that he was the treasure of the man in front of him. His every movement seemed to be filled with caution, as if he was afraid of shattering the treasures in his arms.

Ye Zichen shook his head in amusement. She felt like he was really dreaming. Although she was a modern person, she never knew what it was like to be a real emperor. However, she understood the phrase "the most heartless royal family".

Helian Xuan Yi did not know what was on her mind at this moment, nor did he know what was on her mind at this moment. He just didn't want her to suffer any more.

Cheng Zi Yuan leaned against the bed and lowered his head, not looking at the person before him. His burning gaze touched her heart. However, he didn't quite understand what this feeling was.

Neither of them spoke, and silence lingered between the two of them. However, neither of them felt this was a good thing. Instead, both of them unconsciously enjoyed this short period of time.

The sunlight outside the window was like a lonely child coming to join in on their fun.

Helian Xuanyin looked at the goddess-like woman in front of him and recalled their past. He did not understand why things had turned out like this between them. However, he would never be able to speak of these matters.

In the end, Cheng Violet Garden was the first to lose her cool and spoke.

"Your majesty, when can I leave?"

He hadn't expected that the words she would say to him would be this. The anger that had not dissipated just now seemed to have returned with her words.

"You want to escape from me that much?"

His sudden interrogations caused Cheng Zi Yuan to be puzzled and have a headache. She really didn't know what conflict this body had with him in the past. The current her was only an unexpected intruder, so she naturally didn't understand that the anger in front of her was simply too inexplicable. She didn't have much of a reaction, only indifferently speaking, "Your Majesty, you promised me last night. Today, I'm only asking for your promise."

These words made Helian Profound Wings lose his breath. The events of the night before still played out clearly in his mind. He still believed that if he went back on his word today, she would definitely stab him again. He didn't realize that Cheng Zi Yuan had already become his weakness unknowingly. Many years later, when he recalled the scene from today, he couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't use all the so-called power on her.

"Forget it, let's rest for a while. I'll have someone notify Lord Cheng to bring you back to the manor."

Cheng Violet Garden was stunned for a moment. She didn't think that he would actually agree to her request so easily. Last night, although he had already promised her, during this period of time, she hadn't believed that he would honor her promise. She even thought about it, what if he didn't agree to her request and stabbed her again? I didn't expect it to be so simple.

Recovering from her shock, she remembered that she had not thanked him yet. Thus, she hurriedly got up to leave to show her gratitude, but just as she was about to move, she was stopped by Helian Xuan Wing.

"What are you going to do?"

"Thank you!"

Her reply gave him a headache. Helplessly, he looked at the person before him who seemed to take it for granted.

"Yuan, there's no need for us to be like this."

She could see the grief in his eyes, but she didn't quite understand why. He did not respond to her words and only indifferently nodded his head.

He silently looked at the girl before him. He didn't know what else to say.

They grew up together, until they were six years old, when she was sent away to learn martial arts in order to protect him. When she returned to his side, he found that his bodyguard was a woman, and his younger sister was the one he had cared for since he was young. This kind of understanding made him unable to accept it.

However, once he turned around and saw her stubborn little face, his mood would become very good. So even though he knew he didn't need anyone to protect him, he acquiesced.

Until that incident had broken the balance between them, and from that day onwards, she had never once properly looked at him, and had even been unwilling to approach him.

Whether that ten years of emptiness was right or wrong could no longer be changed.

When Cheng Zi Yuan was picked up by the people from the Hou clan, she didn't turn back. When she left, she thought that she would never come back, and that the palace gate was never the place she wanted to come to.

Standing outside the manor, she raised her head to look at the large courtyard. Ever since the day she was reborn, everything had been brand-new. This was the place where he would live in the future.

From the moment she stepped in, she clearly understood that she was no longer that lonely girl who had no one to rely on. She was the little princess of the Northern State of Yue. From the looks of it, her identity was still very prestigious.

Walking through the gate, she keenly realized that although the people walking past were aggressive, they didn't look at her. Occasionally, they would look at her with a panicked expression on their faces.

Still, she walked slowly toward the courtyard. No, it was a place that looked like the courtyard.

Before he could step in, he heard a spirited voice.

"Zi Yuan, you're back?!"

She raised her head to look at the person who had arrived with a face full of smiles. She knew that it was her father with this body. Oh, no, he was also her father now. He did not move. Instead, he stood still and waited for the other party to approach him.

"Father."

As Cheng Huaiye looked at his daughter, tears welled up in his eyes. As a girl, she should have grown up happily and simply under the protection of her father and brother, but now, for the sake of her country, she had chosen the most difficult path. He had thought that she would never belong to him again, that she would never return to this home, but he suddenly received an imperial edict, saying that he would bring her back to recuperate.

Looking at the indifferent expression on her daughter's face, Cheng Huaiye could not find anything wrong with it other than that she left home when she was young and had no feelings for her family.

Cheng Zi Yuan, on the other hand, felt slightly weak in his heart. After all, he had intruded and possessed his daughter's body. If this elderly father were to find out that his daughter had passed away, how uncomfortable would it be?

The thought that flashed through her mind stunned her. She was surprised at her own thoughts. She, who had always been cold and ruthless, now actually began to consider other people's feelings. She didn't know what that meant. The only feeling she had was that she was in danger. As a top assassin, she understood that emotions were something they could never have in their entire life. If they touched it, what awaited them was only death.

Cheng Huaiye looked at his daughter standing in front of him, expressionless, as if she was waiting for something. Suddenly, he came to his senses. He had just returned home today, and he actually made her stand by the roadside.

"Don't just stand there. Violet Garden, quickly follow me into the room. You're still injured."

He suppressed the impulse in his heart to push him away, then Cheng Violet Garden nodded and slowly walked beside him. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she had been observing the so-called home in front of her along the way. The courtyard was very large, and this was her first reaction. The decorations of the pavilions and pavilions were very elegant. One could tell that he had put in great effort in decorating the house. He was just a bit curious about how Cheng Huaiye, a military man, could have such good taste.

Suddenly, the people around him stopped. She was just about to ask what was wrong when she heard him say, "Zi Yuan, this is your embroidery building. Your mother personally arranged it for you." When you are young, you are not at our side. This is our gift to you. "

Cheng Zi Yuan raised his head and looked at the two story house. He had never thought that his house would be a two-story villa. She didn't know what it looked like, but from the look of it, it looked pretty good.

"Father, thank mother for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly feel the body of the person beside her trembling slightly. It was not very strong, but it was very obvious. She was curious about the consequences of her words. She did not say anything, and only tilted her head to take a glance. Although it was very short, she could see the regret in her father's eyes with a single glance. Before she could figure out what this regret represented, she heard someone beside her say to her.

"You're still blaming me, blaming me for sending you away, blaming me for marrying your second wife."

He was stunned for a moment. He had not expected that there would be such a conflict. However, she wasn't truly a Violet Garden, and did not have much of a reaction to this matter. She only understood that it was no wonder that this body was not intimate with her father.

During this period of time, she could clearly feel that this body would occasionally emit her will. However, ever since that day when she cut herself down, she no longer felt that kind of feeling anymore. She didn't realize that the feelings she sometimes felt were all her own. She just didn't want to admit it. She blamed it all on the fact that the owner of this body was still inside her. She was a little worried that she would appear out of the blue and chase away this unexpected guest of hers.

Cheng Huaiye looked at his own daughter standing beside him, expressionless, without the slightest change in his expression. He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he found that no matter what he said now, he looked so pale.

"Forget it, you should rest up." I'll go back first. Remember to come to the front hall for dinner at night. Ling'er, bring the young miss back to her room to rest. "

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Ling'er walk out from behind the door. However, she looked a little strange, and the expression on her face didn't match with the childish look on her face.

"Miss, let's go in."

She was studying her face when she heard her voice. When he came back to his senses, he realized that she was already standing by his side. Cheng Huaiye should have already left, and there was no sign of him in the surroundings.

After Ling'er finished speaking, she bowed and walked behind her, but did not extend her hand to support her. As if he understood her habits, he quietly followed behind her. If it were not for the sound of footsteps, she would have thought that there was no one behind her. How could there be someone with such a low sense of presence?
