After my rebirth, I brought up my cub and was pampered by the violent prince.

But Jiang Wanyin also knew in her heart that if she wanted to gain Yue Chenyan's trust, the only way to do this was to do a major event in August.

She believed that when her words were confirmed, King Huainan would treat her as a treasure, which was also her bargaining chip.

And he and Yue Chenyan will eventually stand side by side at the pinnacle of life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyin felt hot.

There's nothing Jiang Wanyin can't do that she wants to do.

Sheng Yunzhao, Ji Xuan, Luo Shi, and Prince, just wait for me. I will definitely return the humiliation and harm you gave me in your previous life to you. I will make sure that you all live and die!

But at this time, Sheng Yunzhao had already walked to the door. When his feet were about to cross the threshold, he keenly realized something, stepped on his feet and turned around slowly.

What he saw was Jiang Wanyin's back turning and leaving.

Sheng Yunzhao narrowed his eyes, then turned around, nodded to Yun Niang, and motioned for her to wait outside.

After entering, he saw Yue Chenyan sitting at his desk writing something. Even though she deliberately made her footsteps a little louder as she walked, he didn't even raise his head.

From her angle, she could only see his ink-like brows and high bridge of nose that were entwined with a trace of malevolence. His whole body exuded the aura of being unapproachable. She couldn't help but stop a few steps in front of his case. .

And the jade pendant she handed over was lying quietly on his desk, and a flash of struggle flashed in Sheng Yunzhao's eyes...

She took away his jade pendant that night purely on a temporary basis, thinking it would be her last straw.

However, things in the world are constantly changing, but she used this jade pendant for this purpose.

Sheng Yunzhao was anxious in her heart. Perhaps Yunxuan was wandering on the line between life and death at this time, and his life could be in danger at any time. Thinking of this, she couldn't wait for him to finish his work, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your help!"

The man who was writing vigorously seemed not to have heard, and his writing was flowing smoothly.

At this moment, Feng Shi hurriedly walked in, first smiled at Sheng Yunzhao, but he was very sensible and did not speak to her.

He hurriedly walked to Yue Chenyan and whispered.

Sheng Yunzhao wished he had longer ears and could listen with bated breath.

But then when she met Yue Chenyan's dark eyes, she took a breath and lowered her eyebrows in embarrassment.

But following Feng Shi's report, Yue Chenyan frowned slightly and his eyes became dark and unpredictable.

For a moment, he said calmly to Feng Shi: "Put everything aside for now and check it yourself..."

Feng Shi agreed and hurried out.

"What do you want from me?"

Sheng Yunzhao raised his head when he heard the sound and met Yue Chenyan's profound eyes.

She avoided his sight with a guilty conscience, "I want to ask the prince to find a way to send me out of the city and help me prepare two horses..."

Yue Chenyan's eyes flashed slightly, "That's it?"

He thought she came to beg him to help her find Sheng Yunxuan.

One of the things Feng Shi had just reported to him was that Sheng Yunxuan was missing.

The Sheng family doesn't know if it's a troubled time. It seems that a second lady disappeared the day before yesterday, right?

Now another young master is missing.

Yue Chenyan's eyes fell on the jade pendant, and his anger remained unchanged.

"Yes." Sheng Yunzhao felt bitter in his heart, as many people could not do this despite their best efforts.

Sheng Yunzhao had complex feelings at this time, identity and power were really good things.

Now she seems to understand a little bit, why so many people do whatever it takes to get this.

Yue Chenyan frowned slightly, "What are you doing out of the city?"

"Looking for my brother Yunxuan." Sheng Yunzhao felt that there was no need to hide it.

"How can you be sure that he is outside the city now?" Yue Chenyan picked up the jade pendant and played with it in his hand.

His fingers are long, with distinct knuckles and round and clean nails.

Sheng Yunzhao frowned slightly and said: "I heard that some powerful people have special habits and like to torture people, but they don't want to be discovered, so they take people out of the city.

I also heard that there is a natural cave in the barren mountains outside Nancheng. I am worried..."

Yue Chenyan lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes, and gently stroked the smooth lines carved on it with his fingers, with a smile as faint as ice and snow at the corner of his mouth.

His voice was as gentle as spring breeze blowing on his face, "Did you hear that? Who told it? Who gave you the news?"

He had never heard of such filthy things. Where did she hear it?

Sheng Yunzhao shivered for no reason, like the rhythm before a storm.

She didn't know what she said wrongly to make him unhappy. She said casually: "I heard it from some drinkers in the wine shop..."

Yue Chenyan suddenly looked at her with a half-smile, "Then why are you handing over this jade pendant tonight? In exchange?"

Sheng Yunzhao was filled with anxiety and almost tore her calmness to pieces. She had no time to distinguish the intention of his question and said bluntly: "Yes, after the prince helped me tonight, the past has been wiped out. From now on..."

Yue Chenyan suddenly smiled, and the smile did not reach his eyes at all. He stood up slowly, walking very slowly.

But every step towards her seemed to step on her heart, making her beat like a drum. She subconsciously took a step back, feeling the urge to escape.

In the flickering candlelight, his face was frosty and his eyes were cold. He leaned slightly towards her ear and whispered softly: "Since you so hope to draw a clear line with me, but this is such a thankless task, then I Why does the king want to help you?"

Sheng Yunzhao opened his mouth to speak, but he straightened up, "What's more, this jade pendant belongs to me. Why do you use my jade pendant as a bargaining chip to make a deal with me?"

Sheng Yunzhao was speechless for a moment. She knew that for such a proud person, it would be humiliating for him to say such words.

She knew she was a little shameless, but now that she wanted to do something, she didn't know who to turn to except him.

Yue Chenyan was even more angry, she dared to trample on his jade pendant like this!

This damn woman...

Yue Chenyan suppressed his raging anger, and said with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "By writing it off, do you mean the skin-to-skin contact with me that night? However, I have already done what you said. I'm willing to work hard to draw a clear line with you.

Sheng Yunzhao, don’t you think you are going too far?Is it true that in your place, everything can be used as a bargaining chip?I ask you, do you have a heart? "

Sheng Yunzhao truly felt that a person's words could be turned into an invisible slap and slapped hard on the face. Her cheeks were burning, making her feel ashamed.

She admitted that she was selfish and only thought about herself and the people she cared about.

But the words she spoke were like water that was thrown out and could not be taken back. She raised her eyes and looked at him and changed her words: "What the prince said is that it is right for me to return the jade pendant to the prince. But Yun Zhao is shameless and only asks the prince to give it to Yun Zhao." A door of convenience..."

"I have opened this door of convenience for you, but it is of no benefit to me at all..." Yue Chenyan said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what can you give me?"

Sheng Yunzhao's heart thumped when he heard this, and he couldn't believe that these words came from Yue Chenyan's mouth.

But after thinking about it, it was true that she seemed to owe him a lot. Now that he said these words, she no longer had the position to care about it.

A hint of bitterness escaped from her lips, and she lowered her eyebrows slightly, "What benefit does the prince want? As long as Yun Zhao can do it..."
