The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

Chapter 216 Don’t I love Yan’er very much?

After returning to the palace, Yun Jingman was very resistant to everyone and only contacted Baili Haoxuan. Wherever Baili Haoxuan went, she followed him and could not be separated from him for a moment. It was because she had a fear of this strange world. Now she was like a newborn baby, relying only on Baili Haoxuan.

In the past few days, whether Baili Haoxuan was handling government affairs or attending court, Yun Jingman followed closely. Many people had complaints, but because of Baili Haoxuan, they couldn't say it out loud.

The moon is mid-moon, the night is deep, and the wind does not stop.

(Shengling Palace)

After Baili Haoxuan and Yun Jingman finished their dinner, they sat on the beauty couch.

Baili Haoxuan stretched out his hand to rub Yun Jingman's soft and smooth black hair, looked at Yun Jingman with affectionate eyes, and said softly: "Yan'er, the more I look at you, the more charming you are..."

“What…” Yun Jing lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Baili Haoxuan, her cheeks flushed.

"Yan'er, will you play chess with me?" Baili Haoxuan suddenly became interested.

"Play chess? I don't know how..." Yun Jingman shook her head. Her mind was blank, and she couldn't find that she knew how to play chess.

"Then Yan'er, go and have a rest. I still have government affairs to deal with." Baili Haoxuan suddenly said embarrassedly, with a hint of imperceptible loss in his blue eyes.

"I'm not sleepy yet. I don't want to sleep." Yun Jingman approached Baili Haoxuan who was lying on the beauty couch and said coquettishly.

"Yan'er, be good and go to bed." Baili Haoxuan sat up and pulled up Yun Jingman who was leaning close to him.

"No. I'll go with you to handle government affairs." Yun Jingman blinked her eyes, gleaming with brilliance, and said coquettishly.

"Yan'er! You have to learn to be independent. You can't always be with me. I am the king of a country, and the country is in turmoil now, and I need to deal with it. I can't accompany you all day long and let you be willful." Baili Haoxuan suddenly said in a stern tone, with a breath of depression in his heart, and for some reason, he suddenly vented it towards Yun Jingman.

The smile on Yun Jingman's lips suddenly froze, and his watery eyes looked at Baili Haoxuan in confusion, with a look of astonishment.

"Yan'er..." Baili Haoxuan realized that his words were too harsh, so he reached out to touch Yun Jingman to apologize, but Yun Jingman dodged and looked at Baili Haoxuan helplessly with watery eyes.

"Yan'er, I'm sorry... I don't know why..." Not knowing why, Baili Haoxuan apologized guiltily. How could he say such harsh words to Yan'er? What did he just do? He roared involuntarily and uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.

Baili Haoxuan walked over and stretched out his hand, but was once again opened by Yun Jingman. "You are a bad person too." After saying this coldly, Yun Jingman rushed out.

"Yan'er!" Baili Haoxuan yelled, but he did not chase Yun Jingman. He sat slumped on the beauty couch.

His handsome eyebrows were knitted tightly, thinking deeply, why did he feel a little disgusted with Yan'er just now, especially when he heard that she couldn't play chess, he actually despised her and looked down on her, why? He was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts.

Don’t I love Yan’er very much? Why? Why? Why?

He asked himself why three times in a row, but no one could give him an answer...

The waning moon hung halfway in the night sky, without any stars to embellish it. The strange autumn wind blew up, sweeping across the face of Yun Jingman who had just run away from the Holy Ling Palace, piercing and cutting him painfully...

There was a feeling of grievance in my chest, and I wanted to express it, but there was no place to vent it. I walked around in circles, it was pitch black at night, I didn't know where I was going, I looked around, but I didn't see a single person.

She was surrounded by tall, towering trees with falling leaves. When the autumn wind blew, a few lonely yellow leaves fell on her.

The fallen leaves are drifting away, all alone.

Yun Jingman walked up to a big tree, sat down dejectedly next to the thick trunk, hugged his legs, buried his head in his feet, and began to cry.

Her world seemed to collapse suddenly, a pillar supporting her world and life collapsed. Her world was blank again, a vast expanse of white, unable to see clearly, she was immersed in it and was very scared...

Was her dependence wrong? She just wanted to catch Baili Haoxuanzhen and the floating wood in this vast ocean to save herself. Was that wrong too?

Sadness and helpless crying were heard faintly.

Now, where should she go? She found that her current life was not as good as Baili Haoxuan said, and she doubted whether he really doted on her for six years.

Hadn't she just been pestering him for a few days? Now he was yelling at her. She had just seen the disdain and impatience in his eyes. She had lost her memory, but she had not lost the ability to observe people's hearts. Although the disdain and impatience flashed by, she saw it for real.

Her hand trembled as she touched the left atrium. Why did she feel a dull pain there? Did she care so much about his disgust and impatience?

The more I thought about it, the more sad and desolate I became. The pain spread through my body along with my blood, and I was in agony...

Yun Jingman, who was crying with his legs buried deep in his chest, did not notice that there was a man in pure white standing in front of him, fluttering in the wind.

"Man'er..." The sobs stuck in his throat, like a thorn piercing his throat, and he finally called out with all his might...

"Who are you?" Because of the silence around him, he could hear every sound clearly. Yun Jingman raised his head defensively and looked at the man in front of him.

The back was illuminated, and in the darkness, Yun Jingman couldn't see the man's appearance at all, not to mention his tearful eyes that blurred his vision.

"Man'er... It's me, Yue..." Gu Yue half-knelt down and looked at Yun Jingman, who was sitting against the tree trunk. His eyes under the butterfly-shaped mask stared at Yun Jingman. Seeing her tears constantly flowing and dripping, his heart also ached.

After sending her to the Beitang military camp, he was imprisoned by the palace master, forcing him to do something he didn't want to do now. If Zi Yan hadn't secretly released him, he would still be imprisoned by the palace master.

During the days of imprisonment, he missed her day and night and really wanted to give up everything and take her away to the ends of the earth. However, her body... was his Achilles' heel, and he could not find any medicine to cure her.

"I don't know you." Yun Jingman stepped back and moved closer to the tree trunk. She felt fear and rejection towards anyone except Baili Haoxuan, and a sense of insecurity arose spontaneously.

"Man'er..." Gu Yue stared at Yun Jingman's eyes, and saw that she looked confused and didn't feel familiar with him. Her watery eyes were empty. Could it be...

"My name is not Maner, you've got the wrong person." Yun Jingman reached out and wiped away the tears in her eyes. It was too embarrassing to cry like this in front of a stranger.

"So, what's your name?" Gu Yue probably guessed what happened to Yun Jingman, and now he just wanted to feel her pulse.

"Sang Yuhanyan." Yun Jingman answered Gu Yue. She found that she did not reject his approach, nor did she seem to be afraid. Instead, she had a feeling of wanting to get closer. She suddenly felt that she was very strange.

"Then can I call you Yan'er?" Gu Yue tried to slowly get closer to her and let down her defenses. Although he was not good at it, he was willing to do it for her.

"Well. What about you, what's your name?" After crying, the voice was a little hoarse and low.

"My name is Gu Yue." After Gu Yue finished speaking, she walked over, one step away from Yun Jingman, lifted up her white robe, and sat down gracefully, with a somewhat otherworldly air.

Yun Jingman looked at Gu Yue carefully, and saw that he was wearing a silver butterfly-shaped mask with a cold glow, and curiously reached out to touch it. Gu Yue did not dodge, and let her touch him. Maybe one day he would take off the mask for her, instead of waiting until that time...

"Yue, why are you wearing a mask?" A voice in her heart advised her to take it off, but her rationality would not allow her to do such a disrespectful thing. She was afraid that she would be yelled at again.

Gu Yue did not answer her, but just looked at her quietly.

"Is it because you are ugly?" I blurted out the question without thinking. After I said it, I realized how rude I was.

"I'm sorry, um, I didn't..." He wanted to explain to Gu Yue, but his mouth was too dumb and he couldn't express himself clearly.

She took her hand back, slapped herself on the mouth and complained, "It's all my fault for having such a stupid mouth. You talked nonsense all the time." She was like a darling child, playful and cute, which made Gu Yue very happy. This was her true nature.

At the same time, Gu Yue quickly reached out and gently pinched Yun Jingman's hand that was slapping his mouth. There was a burst of electricity, and then he let it go. Gu Yue said in a gentle voice: "You are not talking nonsense. It is true. This face is the ugliest in the world. I am afraid of polluting the eyes of others, so I wear a mask."

"Appearance is just a piece of trash. What's most important is your heart. Yue, I won't despise you." Yun Jingman encouraged Gu Yue.

"I know you've never disliked me..."

"Did I know you before?" Yun Jingman looked at Gu Yue without blinking and asked puzzledly.

"before?"

"Well, I fell off a mountain, so I lost my memory. I can't remember anyone from before."

"Oh."

"So, did I know you before?" The inexplicable sense of familiarity pushed Yun Jingman to want to know more.

"Yes and no. The past is all in the past. Isn't it good to just treat it as a reacquaintance now?" Gu Yue, who usually had no emotions, actually curled the corners of her mouth.

He would never force her to accept anything she didn't want to do and would always respect her choice...
