Hai Yi felt complicated, but he didn't easily believe Xiao Yun'er's words. However, their feelings for each other for many years were not fake.

From childhood to youth, he could clearly see Xiao Yuner's affection, and it could even be said that she was obsessed with him.

He enjoyed this kind of admiration happily and always had the desire to take advantage of Xiao Yun'er.

But Xiao Yun'er has become less obedient in the past two years, and her eyes are evasive, as if she is afraid of him.

Hai Yi always felt that this chess piece was not as obedient as he imagined, so he treated Xiao Yun'er even worse.

Who can tell whether the love Xiao Yun'er is crying and expressing at this moment is true or false?

But because of their past feelings, Hai Yi naturally believed it a little, but he still had doubts.

It just so happened that the emperor showed great fondness for Hai Wan in his conversation today.

Since his sister is favored, Hai Yi naturally doesn't need Xiao Yun'er to get close to Tang Zhao, lest Xiao Yun'er snatch Hai Wan's favor.

Rather than leaving the chess piece idle, it would be better to let her approach His Highness.

It just so happens that His Highness is very fond of Xiao Yun'er, so it would be a waste to not use her.

Hai Yi doesn't believe in the so-called feelings, but because of Xiao Yun'er's sincerity in the past, he is willing to feel a little sorry for her.

He knew that Xiao Yun'er would not dare to be unfaithful to him.

Because he still has the leverage that can bring down the Xiao family.

Xiao Yun'er and the Xiao family will prosper together. Hai Yi believes that she is very smart and will not be stupid enough to sell herself out.

He would never be willing to let the Xiao family fall.

He has always been like this, so calculating, so clear about the pros and cons.

Hai Yi then caressed Xiao Yun'er's cheek gently and kissed her forehead lightly.

"Yun'er, don't be afraid."

"How could I bear to do that? It's because you haven't behaved well recently that I thought of saying that to scare you."

"How can I bear to let you get close to other men?"

"Can you please be good, be good."

Hai Yi said gently, hugging Xiao Yun'er with heartache.

"As long as you behave yourself, how could I abandon you?"

"Don't be afraid. Go and get close to Her Highness and gain her trust. I believe in you."

Hai Yi whispered in her ear, his hot breath blowing against her earlobe.

Xiao Yun'er nodded weakly and pitifully, hugging Hai Yi tightly without letting go, her innocent eyes full of sadness.

It seemed like it would break in the next second.

She just lay on Haiyi's shoulder, gave him an unfathomable smile, and then immediately disappeared without a trace.

It was as if she had always been so humble, obedient, innocent and pitiful.

"We'll see, Hai-yi."

Xiao Yun'er thought silently in her heart, with her hands tucked into her sleeves, tightly holding the pair of pearl earrings.

She didn't want such a beautiful thing to be tainted by the foul breath of a stinky man.

……

It was almost dusk when the group finally returned to the imperial city.

Tang Zhao personally led all the officials and sent Xiaoyu back to the gate of the mansion before saying goodbye.

Before parting, the brother and sister looked at each other deeply, and they understood each other tacitly.

The servants carried the unconscious Jiang Hao into the mansion, and Xiaoyu then came to pick up Xiao Yuner in person with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yun'er smiled, walked down from the Haiying carriage and saluted Xiaoyu.

Hai Yi sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and smiled gently.

"Your Highness is truly the one who has taken away someone's love. Please do not forget to send Yun'er back to me."

Hai Yi said with a smile, amusement in his eyes.

"The Prime Minister is so stingy, it makes me seem like I'm robbing a woman."

"Is it possible that this palace cannot keep the princess for a few more days?"

Xiaoyu laughed and teased.

Hai Yi smiled softly, showing the elegance of a gentleman as graceful as jade.

He always looked so dignified and graceful, and Xiaoyu thought he was really a two-faced fox.

A little more disgusted.

"This land belongs to the king. Whatever Your Highness wants belongs to Your Highness."

Hai Yi said with a slightly metaphorical smile.

Xiaoyu stared, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said to Haiyi helplessly:

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister really honors me. The Great Sage King is sitting on the dragon throne in the imperial palace."

"I don't deserve such words."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is not afraid that someone with ulterior motives may hear it."

Hai Yi smiled indifferently and looked at Cuizhi and Chunke beside Xiaoyu.

Then he said with a smile: "The people around your Highness are all loyal dogs, how could they leak the news?"

"It was just a joke on your Highness."

He laughed to himself, and then said to Xiao Yun'er in a warning tone:

"Yun'er, accompany His Highness well, but don't make Him unhappy."

After saying that, Hai Yi said goodbye to Xiao Yu.

Xiaoyu just stared at the carriage going away, with a flash of displeasure in her eyes.

Xiao Yun'er saw it all, smiled and remained silent.

"You are loyal to me, and I care about you. You are my family in my heart."

"Don't let the nonsense of outsiders get you upset."

Xiaoyu gently walked up to Cuizhi and Chunke, rubbed their heads, and spoke softly.

Cuizhi smiled sweetly, waved her hand and said, "Your Highness, I don't take the Prime Minister's words to heart."

"I know, Your Highness is the best."

Xiao Cuizhi's eyes sparkled as she spoke. She knew that His Highness always treated them very well and trusted them completely.

Naturally, one's heart will not be influenced by other people's provocations.

The same is true for spring branches.

Xiaoyu really wanted to beat Hailin to death. His lovely Xiao Cuizhi and Xiao Chunke were compared to dogs by him?

Ahem, although Chun Ke is really as obedient as a big golden retriever...

After Xiaoyu had comforted her, he took Xiao Yuner back home.

She deliberately chose the tea room as the venue.

The tea in the stove is boiling, and the incense is warming the room, it is so cozy.

The soft snow-white carpet, the thin and bright gauze curtains, the beautiful scenery outside the window, and the ambiguous sunset at dusk.

Xiao Yun'er sat relaxedly on the carpet, watching Xiaoyu make tea quietly.

Such an ambiguous and romantic environment reveals the careful consideration put into choosing the location.

Looking out the window, you can see the setting sun and colorful clouds in the sky, which is very beautiful.

Xiaoyu's movements in making tea were not very skilled, but she was calm and casual. She just made the tea roughly and set it aside.

"I think you need to give me some explanations."

"Dear Miss Xiao."

Xiaoyu held his chin, not looking at Xiao Yuner, but just looked out the window and spoke nonchalantly.

Xiao Yun'er was not surprised either, she just smiled gently.

"Your Highness, you can probably guess that Yun'er and the Prime Minister are not as close as they seem."

Xiao Yun'er said calmly, but her hand was constantly wiping her earlobe with a wet cotton towel.

"I hate him."

She rubbed her earlobes until they turned a little red, then put down the cotton handkerchief and looked at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but walked over and sat on the chair in front of Xiao Yun'er, gently stroking her earlobe.

"Go on, I think you know what I want to hear."

Xiaoyu said this and took the pair of pearl earrings from Xiao Yuner.

Xiaoyu put it on her gently with gentle movements.

Then he smiled with satisfaction and gently stroked the round pearl and Xiao Yun'er's soft earlobe.

"I think there needs to be a little trust between Yun'er and His Highness."

"I can come up with enough chips to gain His Highness's trust."

Xiaoyu just smiled, looked at her tenderly, and said softly: "Then I'll wait and see."

"Your Highness is suspicious of why this subject wants to get close to you."

"It's actually very simple. I listened to Yu Haiyi, and Haiyi wanted me to get close to Tang Zhao."

"But I don't want to get close to Tang Zhao. I am more interested in His Highness than His Highness's brother."

There was a strong glow in Xiao Yun'er's eyes, and her smile was especially sweet.

"What Hai Yi wants is to use my belly to give birth to a child that he can control. I think Your Highness already knows his evil ambitions."

"But I don't want to. I hate Haiyi, I hate being close to men, I hate having children, I hate being used as a pawn and a commodity. I want to be a person, a complete and independent person."

"Hai Yi has the leverage over the Xiao family in his hands, and he thinks I dare not betray him and can only obey him."

"But I don't care about the Xiao family. You may not believe it, but I really don't care."

“Even the Cheng family doesn’t care.”

"You don't have to think Yun'er is cold-blooded. Yun'er just cares more about herself. I want freedom and honor more."

"Hai Yi is as powerful as a mountain. Apart from the imperial power, only the power in your Highness's hands can challenge him."

"So, Your Highness should understand my purpose."

Xiao Yun'er said this, looking at Xiaoyu with a smile.

Xiaoyu just stroked Xiao Yuner's earlobe silently, with thoughts flying in his mind.

What Xiao Yuner said was very credible.

She is no longer the original Xiao Yun'er, but a person who traveled through time and space. Naturally, she has no feelings for the Xiao and Cheng families.

Not to mention sharing honor and disgrace, and living and dying together.

They don't have any feelings towards Haiyi, the most they feel is fear and disgust.

Xiaoyu understood that Xiao Yun'er, like her, was a woman of the new era, and naturally would not accept her fate and be inferior to others.

She will never be willing to beg for mercy from a man and try to survive.
