Chapter 228 Sacrifice for Revenge
“Prince, Princess, Prime Minister of Nanyue Dynasty has already been waiting for you outside.” Mumian’s voice came from outside the door.
Jun Yeyan was doing up Bai Aoxue’s hair. After he heard what Mumian said, his action froze, but he didn’t stop.
Bai Aoxue looked at the reflection of Jun Yeyan in the bronze mirror. He slightly pursed his lips.
She liked Jun Yeyan best when he was so conscientious.
After going through what happened just now, Bai Aoxue had understood a lot, and now she knew that she loved him. If she didn’t love him, why would she want to create their own blood with him together?
“Come on. It is not good to make them wait so long. I don’t want people of Nanyue Dynasty to gossip about us behind our backs.” Bai Aoxue patted Jun Yeyan’s hand slightly and said gently.
Jun Yeyan nodded slightly, but he was still doing up Bai Aoxue’s hair meticulously.
“Let them wait. I am famous in Chengxi Dynasty for being a foppish waste. I should also be a foppish waste here.” Jun Yeyan said unconcernedly.
After Bai Aoxue heard what Jun Yeyan said, she couldn’t help smiling lightly and then said, “All right. I… I am a timid waste. And you are a foppish waste, good for nothing. We are a perfect match.”
They could not help looking at each other and smiling, but they quickened their movements as well.
“Mumian, let them wait for a moment. We will come out immediately.” There came Bai Aoxue’s light voice, which made Mumian relieved a lot.
“I, as a maidservant, know it, Princess. I will go to tell Prime Minister right now.” Mumian replied obediently. She turned around and left.
While she was slightly teasing herself about her tone in her heart.
She had never said in this way, and she had never addressed in this way. Now she was really not used to it.
After Mumian told Liu Muwei, Liu Muwei was still waiting patiently. While on the side, Du Siyan had already gone down earlier and waited for them. By his side, there stood Bai Suxue, who had followed him all the time since they were in Chengxi Dynasty.
“Duke, why haven’t they gone down yet?” Bai Suxue held Du Siyan’s hand and said impatiently. There was also some impatience in her words.
After Liu Muwei heard Bai Suxue’s words, he looked slightly sideways at Bai Suxue.
“May I ask who this lady is…?” Liu Muwei looked at Bai Suxue, who he had never seen before, and asked confusedly.
Although they were the messengers from Chengxi Dynasty, the one who was not on the list of the messengers was not allowed to enter the imperial palace. After all, this was concerned with the crown prince’s safety.
Seeing that Liu Muwei had asked, Du Siyan gave Bai Suxue a fierce glare. The meaning in his eyes was pretty clear.
“Oh… This woman is a concubine who was sent to me by my father. She has always said that she wanted to have a look at the splendid and magnificent mountains and rivers of Nanyue Dynasty, so I then took her here.” He had no choice but to say in this way.
After Liu Muwei heard this, he nodded his head understandingly.
“Then will Duke Du take this lady into the imperial palace?” Liu Muwei changed the topic. He again had a look at Bai Suxue and asked sharply.
Du Siyan didn’t expect that Liu Muwei would ask so directly. He was in a daze, and then he responded immediately, “She is just a concubine. How can she enter the imperial palace which is so majestic and sacred? I just take her to have fun in Nanyue Dynasty. As for entering the imperial palace, she is not qualified.”
After Du Siyan said this, Bai Suxue and Liu Muwei showed two different expressions.
“Hah-hah, Duke Du said it too seriously. But at the banquet, there are lots of ministers this time and some messengers who belong to Nanyue Dynasty and some small countries. Those who were not invited are not allowed to enter the imperial palace. I’m sorry that this lady is not allowed to enter the imperial palace this time.” Liu Muwei smiled lightly and said.
As for Bai Suxue, after she heard what Du Siyan said, her face became miserably pale. There was some hatred in her drooping eyes.
Du Siyan insulted her like this time after time. How could she not hate him in her heart?
But at this moment, there was nothing she could do. She could only depend on Du Siyan to live. But for the reason that the person asked her to follow Du Siyan in this way, she would have killed Du Siyan and eradicated this calamity.
As long as she tolerated for some time, and after she killed Bai Aoxue and seized back everything that belonged to her, she would kill Du Siyan with a knife by herself.
In this way, she could revenge herself for being insulted by Du Siyan for such a long period of time!
One day, she would kill Du Siyan herself! She believed that it would not be long before this day came!
After all, at this moment, she had already trod on the land of that person! Everything was the most beneficial to her!
At any cost, she sacrificed her innocence and messed around with such a freak like Du Siyan in order to come to Nanyue Dynasty and to come to a foreign land to kill Bai Aoxue!
Even the death of Bai Aoxue could not eradicate her hatred for Bai Aoxue! Only by making Bai Aoxue die in a foreign land and never return to her homeland could she eliminate the hatred in her heart.
She clenched her fists ferociously, and her fingernails were embedded in her palms, but she could still feel no pain. At this moment, Bai Suxue had been engulfed by her hatred.
But she didn’t know that all of her hatred was made by others. Her hatred was groundless. For all this, others were just using her.
“Why are you still here? Go upstairs quickly! Are you going to be here and disgrace me?” Du Siyan looked at Bai Suxue by his side and rebuked her in a low voice.
After Bai Suxue heard Du Siyan’s words, her body could not help trembling, but she dared not to say more words.
“I, as a concubine, retire.” After she gave a salute with her body bent over, she left in a hurry. From the beginning to the end, she had never raised her head.
She dared not to raise her head. She dared not to let Du Siyan see the hatred in her eyes. If it was discovered by Du Siyan, then everything that she had done would be in vain!
She definitely would never allow things like that to happen. It would be fine if she tolerated this for some time.
Not long after Bai Suxue left, Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue appeared at the spiral staircase on the second floor.
This time, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan were dressed in the same color. Both of them wore gorgeous clothes with black gilt lines. At a glance, they seemed to be a perfect match which was made in heaven.
It seemed that n.o.body could take them apart.
“I’m sorry to let you wait for so long, Prime Minister Liu.” After Jun Yeyan went down the stairs, Jun Yeyan, together with Bai Aoxue, went towards Liu Muwei directly and said lightly.
After Liu Muwei heard Jun Yeyan’s words, he seemed not to take his lateness to heart. He said, “The 5th prince is so polite. It is me who came here too early.”
“Prime Minister Liu is indeed very polite. Please.” Jun Yeyan bent his lips and said with a smile.
“The 5th prince, please!” Liu Muwei waved his hand and did the action of invitation.
Jun Yeyan was also not courteous. He, along with Bai Aoxue, went out of the post house first and got onto the carriage which had already been prepared outside.
The carriage left the post house slowly. What Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan didn’t know was that inside one window of the post house, there was a pair of eyes with heavy and monstrous hatred, firmly staring at the leaving carriage where they were!
Looking at Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan, and Du Siyan, who were leaving, Bai Suxue bit her lower lip fiercely to stop herself from shouting because she could not control herself.
“Very reluctant? Hate bitterly? Very jealous?” There came a deep and low voice in the room.
After Bai Suxue heard the voice, she dared not to move at all. It took her so long to come to her senses. Her eyes were opened wide in an instant, with extreme fear. Her mouth was opened so wide due to her surprise. It seemed that she could not believe this.
“How? It has not been a long time… Do you even forget your lover? Eh?” There was some flirtation and gloomy coldness in his deep and low voice.
Bai Suxue was so startled that she dared not to turn around from the beginning to the end.
She heard that his footsteps were approaching. When that person took one step, Bai Suxue trembled once. Just when that person was only one meter away from Bai Suxue, Bai Suxue trembled fiercely just like a sieve.
It seemed that the person behind her was a demon.
“It’s really heart-broken. Little Suxue has just come to Nanyue Dynasty, and I came here to see my little Suxue, but now it seems that my little Suxue doesn’t want to see me.” That person seemed to be sad, and he said in a low voice.
After Bai Suxue heard that person talk to her in such a tone, her body was shocked violently. She turned around quickly and lowered her head as if she didn’t dare to look straightly at that person’s face, saying, “Mas…, mas…, master…, what can I do for you when you are here to find me at this moment?”
Looking at Bai Suxue’s timid and scared appearance, that person sneered gently. He lifted Bai Suxue’s chin up with one hand to make Bai Suxue have to have eye contact with him.
Still, it was the same as last time. Half of his face was imprinted with weird runes. The other half of his face could be described to be handsome to the extreme.
Because of that half of his face which was imprinted with weird runes, his handsome appearance was destroyed completely. So as a whole, he looked very terrifying.
But Bai Suxue wasn’t so afraid because of his appearance. If she was scared by his face when they first met, then the man’s methods later made her feel frightened and desperate.
Compared with Bai Aoxue, this man was one hundred times more horrible and more vicious than her… No, or rather…, one thousand times or ten thousand times!
“Didn’t I say it? I miss my little Suxue, so I came here.” This man showed a weird and mysterious smile as if he couldn’t see the fear of Bai Suxue.
After Bai Suxue heard what the man said, there was a trace of desperation flashing in her eyes again.
“Master…, haven’t you said that…, in the future, you would never touch me again?” Bai Suxue said stutteringly, but still, she dared not to look at the man.
After the man heard Bai Suxue’s words, his smiling face changed greatly. He threw Bai Suxue to one side fiercely.
“Humph! You are as timid as a mouse, and no wonder you can’t defeat your sister who is neither your relative nor your friend! She is so many times stronger than you. If she were not Jun Yeyan’s woman, maybe I would be more interested in her.” The man suddenly showed a weird and mysterious smile again.
After Bai Suxue who fell to the ground heard the man’s words, the desperation and fear in her eyes disappeared completely. What was left in her eyes was only her hatred for Bai Aoxue.
“Tut, tut… Not bad, not bad. This look in your eyes is not bad. Only in this way can you win my favor. If you are still so boring, I will consider finding a subst.i.tute for you.” The man squatted down slowly. He lifted Bai Suxue’s chin up and said emotionally and threateningly.
After Bai Suxue heard the man’s words, her eyes blinked slightly, but there was less timidity and fear in her eyes, which she had just now.
Right… Being tortured once was not different from being tortured twice. As long as she could kill Bai Aoxue and take back everything that belonged to her, she would not let go of any of these men!
“Master, don’t be mad. I, as a maidservant, know what to do.” Bai Suxue said in a low voice.
“Oh… What are you going to do? Come and show me, your master.” The weird man showed a frivolous smile. The weird runes on his face made him more horrible.
Bai Suxue rose slowly from the ground and walked towards the side of the man. In front of the man, she took off her clothes one by one, until she was naked.
“Hah… You really have become smarter. I, as the lord, still remember that you were so reluctant to submit even unto death last time. Why do you think about things positively this time?” The man looked at the tempting scene in front of him, but still, he was unmoved.
