Quick Wear: Host, please be more restrained

The man's eyes were as clear as obsidian. He touched his right cheek, feeling a burning pain. He sneered in his heart, she was still so cruel.

Looking at the woman's back as she walked away quickly with her skirt lifted up, the man changed his nonchalant look in front of Ye Qiao, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

Your Highness, Princess, the next time we meet, I'm afraid we'll be fighting.

Ye Qiao was so angry at this scoundrel that she was going berserk in her heart. Even though she had already walked two miles, she still regretted in her heart that she should have used a little more force in that slap.

When will there be a day when she will be flirted with?

Ye Qiao held up her red skirt and walked back to the princess's mansion. As soon as she arrived, Xiao Tao came up to her with a panicked look on her face.

"Your Highness, are you going to farm?" Xiao Tao said hesitantly.

Only then did Ye Qiao realize that her hair was disheveled and her usually gorgeous and elaborate red dress was stained with dirt, making her look in a dishevel.

"Where is Xu Yu'an?" Ye Qiao asked anxiously.

"Didn't the prince consort leave the palace with His Highness? Why did the princess come back alone?" Xiao Tao was puzzled.

"What? Xu Yu'an didn't come back?"

Thinking of the sudden changes in the restaurant, how could Xu Yu'an, a frail man, bear it? The woman panicked and turned around and ran back to the restaurant.

It must be the remnants of the previous dynasty who rebelled. These killers wanted to take her life. It was all her fault for not planning well. She shouldn't have brought Xu Yu'an with her today to stabilize Su Su.

The more the woman thought about it, the more anxious she became, and her steps became faster and faster, until thick black smoke came from the distance, covering the cloudless sky.

"Xu Yu'an!" Ye Qiao looked at the restaurant and saw that the huge building was on fire at some point.

There were also several armored guards nearby, who were cleaning up the scene and sheltering the passers-by.

Ye Qiao looked at the intense flames, her mind went blank and she rushed in regardless of anything. She didn't believe that Xu Daoan would die here.

"Your Highness, are you crazy?"

A force came from his waist, forcing Ye Qiao to stop.

"Shen Yi, let me go."

She didn't believe that Xu Yu'an would die in the fire. There must be some clues left inside.

Seeing the woman struggling to break free from him, Shen Yi felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

Who would have known how panicked he would be when he learned that the princess and her husband were in this restaurant. Fortunately, Ye Qiao was fine.

But when he saw the woman struggling to break free from him and heading towards the fire, he couldn't help but feel sad. Does she like him that much?

Since they parted at the banquet at the Prime Minister's Residence, he couldn't help but think that if he had not expressed his dislike to her at that time, the position of royal consort would probably have been his.

I wonder if they already have children? Are they as quirky and intelligent as the woman?

Ye Qiao was hugged tightly by Shen Yi, preventing her from going to the fire scene. She was extremely anxious. Now Ye Qiao couldn't tell whether she was worried about Xu Yu'an's life or she wanted to look for clues?

Maybe it's a bit of both, or maybe she can't tell which handsome guy who always likes to act coquettishly in front of her occupies a certain place in her heart.

"Shen Yi, let me go!"

"Shen Yi, stop meddling in other people's business!"

"Shen Yi, damn it!"

No matter what Ye Qiao said, he refused to let him go.

Upstairs in the distance, a man in black stood straight, looking at the scene downstairs, with a little loneliness in his pretty eyes. Wasn't she going back to the princess's mansion? Why was she here again?

Given her personality, she probably won't forgive him. The man's slender hands hidden in his long sleeves trembled slightly.

Ye Qiao was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. She pushed and kicked Shen Yi, but even if she used all her strength, it was just a drizzle for Shen Yi, who grew up in a military camp.

Shen Yi lowered his head when he realized that he had less and less strength to break free from the woman's arms. He didn't know when the woman had closed her eyes due to exhaustion.

Looking at the woman's messy hair sticking to her smooth forehead, her delicate white skin was stained with dust at some point, her long eyelashes were tightly closed, and her nose was high and straight.

Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, she was obviously an extremely beautiful woman, but how come she had so much strength every day, and she was also so talkative and unreasonable. He had never seen a woman as special as her.

When Ye Qiao woke up again, she opened her eyes to a familiar room. She had returned to the princess's mansion.

Ye Qiao got out of bed and pushed open the wooden door. It was already late at night outside and the moonlight covered the ground like a thin layer of frost.

"Your Highness, are you awake?" Xiao Tao quickly dropped what she was holding and ran to Ye Qiao.

"Shen Yi sent me back?"

"Yes."

"Where is Xu Yu'an?"

"My Lord Prince Consort...he..." Xiao Tao stammered, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"I don't know, but they said that no one in the restaurant was alive. Even the daughter of the left prime minister lost half her life."

Under Ye Qiao's strong sense of oppression, Xiao Tao closed her eyes and said everything in one breath.

It turned out that on that day, unknown forces in the capital city had started a fight in a restaurant, causing countless casualties. When the officers and soldiers arrived, the entire restaurant was engulfed in fire, and all clues were completely destroyed.

Some said it was bandits from the east, some said it was a rebellious general, but this incident caused a great sensation in the court. How could such a thing happen under the feet of the emperor?

Ye Qiao waved her hand, signaling Xiao Tao to leave. She wanted to be alone and quiet for a while to sort out her thoughts.

The woman in white, without any makeup, with her long black hair flowing down, her back was graceful yet a little fragile. She just sat by the window, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The next day, Emperor Ye hurriedly summoned Ye Qiao into the palace.

Before Ye Qiao could react, he was taken into the palace by Ye Di's personal eunuch.

"Eunuch, what happened in the palace?" Ye Qiao asked as he hurriedly got on the carriage.

"Your Highness, we can't say much." Although the eunuch's tone was still feminine, Ye Qiao accurately caught the sadness that flashed across his face.

Did something happen to Ye Di?

After Ye Qiao sat firmly in the carriage, he made some guesses in his mind.

It was not until she went to Ye Di's bedroom that she saw the middle-aged man, who was always energetic, lying powerlessly on the bed.

"Father." Ye Qiao's eyes were filled with doubt. When did Emperor Ye become so ill? He looked very healthy when he was hunting some time ago.

"Qiao Qiao, you're here." The man's face was pale. When he saw Ye Qiao coming, he sat up tremblingly.

"Father, what's going on?"

After all, they are related by blood. Seeing the man who was always full of vigor and vitality now looking so powerless, Ye Qiao couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"They are just minor problems, nothing serious." Seeing Ye Qiao's red eyes, Ye Di smiled indifferently.

No, it's impossible. If it was really a minor illness, he would never let her see this.
