Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1510: Vicious and domineering (17)

There is no brazier in the study for fear that sparks would burn the books.

It's winter now, and if you sleep here you might get sick.

Xiao Ye opened his eyes hazily; his mind was a little fuzzy after having very little sleep for such a long time.

Just as Dai Ke was about to speak, Xiao Ye suddenly hugged her and knocked her to the ground.

"Xiao Ye?"

His waist was hugged and his breath kept touching his neck, making Dai Ke shrink his neck due to the itch.

Xiao Ye was a little confused about the dream and reality, and he held Dai Ke tightly and refused to let go: "Don't leave me, you are the only one I have." Hearing Xiao Ye's sobs, Dai Ke frowned, feeling that something was wrong with him.

She put her hand into his collar, causing Xiao Ye's breathing to become disordered.

Not finding anything on his chest, Dai Ke reached into his sleeve and pulled out a letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Dai Ke stuffed the letter back into his sleeve.

Dai Ke pushed Xiao Ye away with a cold expression.

Xiao Ye bumped into the cabinet, the bookshelf shook, and several books hit his head. The pain made him completely sober.

Dai Ke stood up, brushed the dust off his cloak and skirt, and walked out with a cold face.

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Ye quickly caught up with her, held Dai Ke's wrist, and observed her expression: "What's wrong with you?"

"Let go!" "I can let go, but first you have to tell me why you are angry?"

Dai Ke raised his voice: "I told you to let go, didn't you hear me?"

Xiao Ye felt that Dai Ke's temper was directed at him: "Is it because I haven't seen you for a while that you are angry?"

"I didn't go to see you because I took your words to heart and was working hard to improve my knowledge. I didn't mean to miss you."

Dai Ke looked up at him and sneered, "How can I be worthy of Prince Xiao's consideration? After all, I am just your backup choice in your mind."

Xiao Ye stared at Dai Ke in confusion: "What do you mean by that?"

Dai Ke shook him off: "Prince Xiao should know what I mean."

Dai Ke walked straight out of the study, and Xiao Ye caught up with her: "Speak clearly, what do you mean you are my backup choice?" Dai Ke was furious and didn't want to talk to Xiao Ye.

Seeing Zi Yi coming over with tea and snacks, he ordered: "Stop him."

Xiao Ye chased after him, and Zi Yi's scabbard hit Xiao Ye's knee, stopping him: "Your Highness doesn't want to see you, please stay."

Xiao Ye half-knelt on the ground, his eyes reddened: "How did I offend her that she treats me like this?"

"Then you have to ask yourself, Prince Xiao."

Zi Yi turned around to leave, but thinking of Dai Ke's attitude towards Xiao Ye, he kindly reminded her: "Her Highness is extremely powerful. In her eyes, there are no secrets in the entire palace. Prince Xiao should reflect on what he did wrong to anger Her Highness."

Xiao Ye stood there in a daze, trying hard to recall what he had done recently.

Dai Ke threw off his cloak and sat down at the table with an angry look on his face.

Noticing Zi Yi's return, Dai Ke ordered: "Xiao Ye was able to receive Wen Shu's letter, which means there are people from Sheng Country in the palace. Investigate carefully and make sure to catch this person!"

"I will send someone to investigate immediately."

Dai Ke stayed in the room until the evening, feeling annoyed and wanting to talk to someone.

She thought about finding Shen Anqing and asking him how much progress the Third Prince had made.

But when he opened the door, he saw Xiao Ye, who was wearing thin clothes, kneeling at the bottom of the stairs.

The snow on the ground was very thick, covering half of Xiao Ye's thighs and obscuring part of his slender figure.

His shoulders and hair were covered with snowflakes. When he heard the door open, he raised his head. His eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost, which made him look melancholy, like a poor little god who had fallen into the world and could not return home.

Dai Ke met his eyes, angry and distressed: "Why are you kneeling here?"

Xiao Ye's voice was trembling with coldness: "I made you angry, I deserve to be punished." "What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have collaborated with the emperor to harm you, but I didn't do it. I guarantee with my life that what I said is true."

Xiao Ye knelt here and thought for a long time. He had not done anything since he came to the palace.

What made Dai Ke angry was probably that she knew about his cooperation with the emperor.

Seeing that Dai Ke didn't speak, Xiao Ye thought she didn't believe it: "I promised the emperor, but I really didn't do anything to harm you, can you believe me?"

"You think I'm angry because of this?"

"What's that for?"

"You really don't know?"

Xiao Ye turned his frozen brain and suddenly felt a little guilty: "Yes, it's because I ridiculed Shen Anqing for wanting to be an old cow eating young grass a few days ago, so you are angry?" Dai Ke was amused by Xiao Ye's anger: "If Shen Anqing is really angry with you and ruins my good deeds, I will make you die miserably."

"But that's not what I'm talking about."

"Can't you just tell me what I did wrong?"

"Oh, you even thought of such a trivial matter as mocking Shen Anqing, but you didn't think of the real reason that made me angry. This shows that in your heart, that thing is not wrong at all."

"Since you think you are not wrong, why bother admitting your mistakes?"

Just when Xiao Ye was racking his brains, the guards dragged an unconscious eunuch over.

"Your Highness, we have caught him. I have also conducted a thorough investigation and interrogation. He is not from Sheng Country. He received money from others when he went out of the palace to make purchases, and that is why he sent the letter to Prince Xiao."

When Xiao Ye saw the eunuch clearly and thought of Wen Shu's letter, he instantly understood why Dai Ke was angry.

Dai Ke ordered: "Follow him and investigate to prevent any spies from Sheng State from hiding in the capital." "Yes!"

Watching the guards leave, Xiao Ye tried to stand up, but just as he supported himself on the ground, he fell into the snow because his legs had lost feeling.

Dai Ke took a half step forward, then took it back in silence.

Xiao Ye struggled for a while before finally standing up. He walked towards Dai Ke with weak steps and asked, "Have you seen the letter?"

Dai Ke recalled the contents of the letter and said with a teasing look: "General Wen said that she was trapped in love, and you were particularly sad. It seems that I have restricted the two of you from meeting. I should have sent you back to Shengguo earlier."

"Wen Shu just said that she has a crush on the Regent, but because they are in different camps, she doesn't know whether she should respond, so she is quite troubled."

"But she only mentioned it twice, and mostly asked about my recent situation. I didn't feel sad about it, but wanted to wish her the best."

"Oh, then I really care about you. How about I send someone to take you back to Sheng Country tomorrow?"

"Dai Ke, can you please listen to me carefully? I'm very happy that Wen Shu has someone she truly loves. I'm not worried about this because I like you!"

"But you said yourself that I'm the only one for you. Doesn't that mean that Wen Shu fell in love with someone else and you were forced to choose me?"

Xiao Ye was puzzled: "Did I say that?"

Prince Xiao is really a forgetful person. It’s okay if he doesn’t remember.

Xiao Ye staggered after her: "This sentence is actually correct. My mother has passed away. Although Wen Shu doesn't understand her feelings now, she will understand her feelings sooner or later."

"She is my best friend. She will be with the one she loves in the future. I have no relatives or friends around me anymore, so you are the only one I have!"
