Yun Zhixia nodded, grabbed the teacup and drank three cups in a row before the sour taste subsided.

This jealous man!

Yun Zhixia silently complained in her heart, how could she not know why Leng Jinye was like this? She was just a little guilty and just cooperated with him.

Yu Qingde wiped the sweat from his head and broke the silence.

"In the third competition, Beimo's results are invalidated! The other three countries are tied for first place!"

"Now we begin the fourth event. This event will mainly test the warriors' riding and archery abilities. Let's begin now..."

The fight on the field was in full swing, but Yun Zhixia no longer paid attention to it. She touched the injured python and began to transfer spiritual power to it.

With the support of spiritual power, the injured parts of the giant python gradually healed, and its dark green body became more crystal clear.

The fourth item, none of the four countries were interested in competing, so they just let it go. After the four countries signed a contract to divide the star stones for the next ten years, everything was settled.

At night, Prince's Palace

Yun Zhixia finished washing up and sat in the yard, her black hair cascading behind her. The giant python on her wrist stood on the ground, staring straight ahead as she complained.

"Xin Heng, the head-chopping guy, actually dug me out. I was sleeping soundly in Baicang Mountain!"

"Fuck you! If I couldn't beat him, I would have twisted his head and used it as a urinal!"

With the blessing of spiritual power, the giant python, Yu Jiaojiao, became very proud and started cursing and swearing fluently.

Yun Zhixia's mouth twitched, and she was speechless: "I named you Jiaojiao because I hope you can be more like a girl. Look at you, you swear all the time."

Yu Jiaojiao was not convinced: "I'm going to say it, I'm so pissed off!"

Yun Zhixia couldn't do anything about it, so she waved her hand and asked Wu Jin to take it to recuperate.

Leng Jinye sat aside and listened. He was not surprised to see the giant python in front of him acting so human-like. Instead, he thought of Yan Liqing.

The bird and the snake left, and only Yun Zhixia and Leng Jinye were left in the yard, sitting face to face.

As the evening breeze blew, the magnolia tree swayed in the wind, and some white magnolia flowers fell from the tree.

Yun Zhixia was the first to break the silence: "Xiao Yeye, I'm going to rest first, you should go to bed early too."

After saying that, Yun Zhixia yawned and was about to get up when he heard a cold sound beside him.

"What? You don't want me to sleep with you today? You don't want to cling to me anymore?"

Yun Zhixia turned around and caught a glimpse of a hint of self-mockery on Leng Jinye's lips in the dim candlelight.

Leng Jinye stood straight, his pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes filled with coldness, unlike his usual appearance.

Yun Zhixia quickly stood up and walked in front of him, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "I was wrong today, don't be angry."

"You think I'm just angry?"

Leng Jinye suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Zhixia's wrist, then pulled her into his arms with force.

The two looked at each other. Leng Jinye's eyes were dark, like the boundless seabed, without a trace of light.

Yun Zhixia instinctively felt that something was wrong. She supported herself on Leng Jinye's chest with her hands and tried to get up, but he held her tightly in his arms.

"Xiao Ye Ye, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? I should be the one asking you this!"

Leng Jinye reached out and pinched her chin, slowly approaching her, and the words that came out of his mouth made Yun Zhixia's body stiffen.

"If my guess is correct, Yan Liqing and Yan Wen look similar, maybe even the same?"

"how do you know?"

Facing Yun Zhixia's surprised eyes, Leng Jinye felt like he was stabbed. He reached out and covered Yun Zhixia's eyes, not wanting to see her fall in love with another man.

Yun Zhixia was suddenly blinded but did not move. She knew that Leng Jinye was in a bad mood at the moment, so she wanted to go along with him and coax him.

After thinking it over, Yun Zhixia was about to open her mouth to comfort him when she heard Leng Jinye's words. His voice was cold and had a hint of bitterness.

"Yun Zhixia, so you still love Yan Wen?"

"No, I..."

"That's right, you have been together for thousands of years, and your relationship is definitely not something I can compare to."

Leng Jinye interrupted Yun Zhixia and continued, "Actually, I'm really scared. I used to be afraid that you wouldn't want me, but now I'm even more afraid that you've never loved me!"

Having said that, Leng Jinye let go of his hand, and Yun Zhixia regained her brightness.

Leng Jinye looked straight into her eyes and said blankly: "Yun Zhixia..."

"Um……"

"Have you ever loved me?"

"I love you!"

Yun Zhixia replied hastily. She could feel Leng Jinye's emotional breakdown.

Hearing this, Leng Jinye didn't smile at all. His eyes were red, and there was a hint of self-mockery and resentment at the end of his eyes.

"What do you love about me?"

"Can the relationship between you and me of just a few years compare to the relationship between you and Yan Wen that has lasted for thousands of years?"

"If Yan Wen were alive, would you still choose me? You wouldn't!"

After Leng Jinye asked three questions in a row, he looked completely broken.

"Yun Zhixia, you are so cruel!"

He gently placed Yun Zhixia on the stool, turned around and left.

Watching Leng Jinye's figure disappear outside the yard, Yun Zhixia was rarely distracted.

She sat on the stool and couldn't sleep all night, her two beautiful big eyes staring in the direction where Leng Jinye left.

Time passed minute by minute, the night became brighter, the dawn broke, and a ray of sunlight shone on her, bringing her a touch of warmth.

It was not until the maid came to serve her that she realized she had not slept all night.

The maid was startled and asked in a low voice: "Miss Yun, what are you doing?"

Yun Zhixia's eyes were a little dark, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Leng Jinye, no, where is Chi Junyan?"

The maid sighed and glanced at Yun Zhixia quietly: "The emperor is reviewing memorials in the study now!"

Yun Zhixia was surprised: "You're in the study so early?"

The maid shook her head, and after thinking for a while, she said something else: "The candle in the study was on all night, maybe the emperor didn't sleep all night!"

"I haven't slept all night..."

Yun Zhixia paused, her long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow.

The maid nodded, and seeing this she knew that the two were having a quarrel.

She opened her mouth to persuade him, "Miss Yun, you have always been gentle to us servants. I dare to say that we have seen the friendship between you and the emperor."

"In my heart, you two are a perfect match made in heaven, and you are the future queen of our Nanchang Kingdom."

"If there is any misunderstanding between you and the emperor, it is better to clarify it as soon as possible to avoid hurting feelings."

After saying that, the maid looked at Yun Zhixia, who was covered in cold air, and said distressedly, "No matter what, you can't ruin your body. Wash your face quickly with hot water."

Yun Zhixia nodded obediently. After washing up, she changed into a red gilded gauze dress and asked her maid to help her take care of her hair. She combed her hair into a flowing bun and inserted a few ruby ​​plum blossom hairpins diagonally.

Looking at the beauty in the bronze mirror, Yun Zhixia clapped his hands and told the maid to prepare the meal and bring it to the study.

In the study

Leng Jinye was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He sat upright at his desk, quickly reading and reviewing the memorials.

All night long, half a table was piled with memorials, which were the results of his hard work all night long.
