Chapter 43

Tang Ke Xin was shocked, and quickly retreated, pulling apart the distance between the two of them. It was just that behind her was a fake mountain, even if she retreated, she would not be able to retreat too far.

Tang Ke Xin secretly gasped. Him? Where did he come from? Why did she suddenly appear here? Why hadn't she been on guard just now? She had discovered that this man was like a ghost.

Moreover, she was kissed by him just now. However, the situation just now made it hard to say who kissed her, so she couldn't have a temper.

"Yes, he's following Zhan Wei." Tang Ke Xin knew, with his abilities, he would definitely discover that she was following the Zhan Wei, so she didn't need to hide it at all.

"Why are you following him?" Ye Lan Jue had obviously seen that she was secretly following the Zhan Wei just now. Only, he hadn't expected his to admit it so straightforwardly.

Zhan Wei was the number one expert in the palace, she had followed them from Kunning Palace and yet they did not notice that she was here, this woman was rather capable.

However, did this woman not know of the dangers? After passing the fake mountain, there was basically no place for her to hide. That way, it was extremely likely that she would be discovered.

She would be dangerous.

"I found out that the Zhan Wei is really good-looking." Tang Ke Xin was startled for a moment, and then said casually. In truth, in this situation, she did not even want to talk to him, so it was impossible for her to tell him the reason.

"And then?" In the darkness, his expression could not be seen, but Tang Ke Xin could faintly feel that his voice had become colder, carrying a cold and majestic wind.

Because of the angle they were standing at, the cold wind was blowing towards her neck, causing the ice to freeze her.

There was not even the slightest bit of sultry feeling left in the room. The effect was ten times better than air-conditioning.

"When I just came out, I heard that he was going to take a bath, so I wanted to follow him to take a look, but then His Highness appeared …" Tang Ke Xin ignored the chill and raised her head to look at him. When he asked her a question, she answered.

Ever since she was young, her teacher had taught her that good children had to be honest and not lie. Thus, every word she said was the truth and the truth was indeed like that.

In the darkness, Ye Lan Jue squinted his eyes, and in the next moment, his body suddenly closed in on her, causing the small distance between them to disappear, and directly pressing her down on the fake mountain behind him. It was because he had used a bit of force now, causing her back to feel pain from the pressure.

His hand was on the side above her, completely trapping her between him and the fake mountain.

"You mean the This King messed up your good news? "Hrm?" His voice became even colder, and the originally cold atmosphere became even more eerie.

She really dared to follow the man in the middle of the night and watch him take a bath.

What was in this woman's mind?

Of course, even Ye Lan Jue himself did not realize, that at that moment, not only was his voice cold, but his voice contained a trace of anger.

"You? What are you doing? " Even someone as calm as her was scared out of her wits by his sudden approach and posture.

Especially when he thought about that kiss just now, Tang Ke Xin's body subconsciously tensed up.

Now that he was so pressured, he didn't even have the chance to move, let alone escape.

What did he want to do by pressing down on her?

"What do you think This King should do at this time?" His voice suddenly became a bit softer, and the words slowly spread out. It seemed as if there was a faint, yet strange, ambiguity within it.

The current him was too close to her, and it wasn't just his body that was pressing down on her. His face was almost touching hers as well, and as he spoke, all of his breath was on her face, warm and itchy.

"It's already deep into the night, so this humble girl feels like she should go back and sleep." Tang Ke Xin's body tensed up, and she trembled slightly. Her breathing seemed to be a little ragged, and it seemed like she shouldn't be able to find out anything today, so she might as well return early and stay with this man. Even if he wasn't killed, she might be scared to death by him at any time.

Not only that, she felt that the current situation was even worse than killing her.

Tang Ke Xin's voice contained a bit of discussion, at this moment, she really hoped that she could leave quickly.

"Together?" The corner of his brows slightly raised, and his low voice slowly exhaled, but his words were like a thunderclap, "This idea is not bad."

"Cough …" Tang Ke Xin choked. You? What about the cold as ice? What happened to the words she said, 'cherishing words like gold'? Was this really the third prince that everyone was talking about?

He … how could he say such words?

"Who, who, who wants to be with him …." Sleep.

"Why don't we take a bath together?" When the third prince saw her reaction, his lips curled up bit by bit. His words were no longer ambiguous, but directly made people vomit blood.

It was very obvious that Her Highness still remembered that she said that she would follow Zhan Wei to see her take a bath. Her Highness' memory was truly not bad.

Tang Ke Xin's eyes instantly widened as she stared at him in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.

She could still accept Nan Gong Yi's words, but why did she feel so frightened when the Third Prince said them?

He, he couldn't have been possessed by a ghost, right?

"Third Prince, are you alright?" Tang Ke Xin tried to test the waters, if he was really possessed, she would have been prepared for it.

"What do you mean?" The Third Prince looked at her with a slight raise of his eyebrows, and the pressure in his words increased. As he spoke, his body seemed to press down on her, and he restrained her even more.

In what way? What else could it be? In this situation, with his posture and his deliberate movements just now, why did this sound so weird?

"Third Prince entering the palace in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of people finding out and causing trouble?" Tang Ke Xin took in a deep breath, exhaled, and exhaled repeatedly several times before finally calming herself down. Only then did she ask a question that still had some influence over him.

He was a prince, it was probably inappropriate for him to appear in the imperial harem in the middle of the night, right? If someone found out, it would be hard to explain.

"Don't we still have you?" Only, when Ye Lan Jue heard her words, he chuckled softly. That reply was very strange, and that smile was even more so.

"What do you mean? "What does it have to do with me?" Tang Ke Xin was completely stunned. What do you mean? Even someone as intelligent as her couldn't understand what Ye Lan Jue meant at this moment.

What did it have to do with her?

Only, Ye Lan Jue's next words, were like a bolt of lightning that flashed through the sky, directly striking towards her, causing her to be burnt on the inside.
