Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

Torturing himself? Yu Yan didn't say anything. He turned back, staring at the ground with drooping eyelids, not wanting to explain.

Yesterday, when Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to Su Kun's residence to find Yu Yan, he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Logically, they shouldn't have any intersection.

She went straight to the point and told him the reason for coming to see him. She wanted him to help her leave the palace and she wanted to go back to Jiangnan.

He refused outright. When it came to matters concerning the country, the emperor would still listen to him, but when it came to matters concerning a small official like Shangguan, no one could persuade him.

The emperor wants to control a woman, who will he allow to interfere?

Being rejected was not surprising. Without hesitation, Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "Then help me commit suicide."

In response to this absurd and inexplicable request, Yu Yan curled his lips and snorted softly, "Let's not talk about why I should help you. If you miss, you can die by yourself."

If I commit suicide, the emperor will blame the palace maids for not taking good care of me. I don't want to implicate innocent people.

This was Shangguan Xiaoxiao's excuse. Yu Yan laughed out loud when she heard it. What? Was he not innocent? If he helped her commit suicide, the emperor wouldn't blame him?

You are his most trusted Ninth Prince, and you have the golden medal of immunity from death left to you by the late emperor, so he cannot kill you.

Yu Yan was rarely speechless and rolled her eyes. Although her movements were small and quick, Shangguan Xiaoxiao still saw it. She knew that she was forcing him to do something, so she added two more words in a weak tone, "Should?"

Han Mingxiu shouldn't really kill Yu Yan despite the late emperor's pardon, right?

"Please go back, Concubine Rou." Yu Yan raised her hand, her intention to send the guest away was obvious.

For Su Su's sake, please help me, Yu Yan. Shangguan Xiaoxiao refused to leave and was still making a final struggle.

Yu Yan glanced at her again, finding it hilarious. The Emperor had allowed Su Su to leave the palace, without her whispering in his ear? Now she had the nerve to use Su Su to beg him for help?

I didn't want to say a word. If you don't leave, I will leave. Yu Yan turned around and was about to leave. Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't care about the so-called etiquette anymore. She walked around to him, opened her arms, and looked at him stubbornly.

She happened to see Yu Yan letting the little palace maid out of the palace. She thought about it for a long time and realized that in this deep palace, there was no one else who could help her except Yu Yan.

If you don’t help me, then I will go find Su Su, she will help me.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao knew that she was very bad and she was ashamed of her behavior, but she really didn't want to go on like this. She was going crazy wanting freedom.

She wanted to threaten the emperor with death. Yu Yan looked at her with cold eyes and remained silent.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was a little scared when he stared at her. She looked away and didn't dare to meet his gaze.

Forget it... She was defeated in the end. She lowered her head and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Yan.

He said, I can help you...

Soon, many old doctors came running out, knelt down in front of Yu Yan with a plop, and kowtowed. "Nine Thousand Years Old! If you have the antidote, please give it to us! The Imperial Concubine is almost unable to hold on!"

But he still didn't respond, like a clay sculpture.

Yu Yan has an antidote? Su Su thought about it, half-crouched, still holding the umbrella for him, "You want to help Xiao Xiao, right?"

Without needing his answer, Su Su reached out and held his cold hand, "Yu Yan, save Xiao Xiao, not only for her, but also for you."

Seeing Yu Yan's eyelashes tremble slightly and looking at his thin face, Su Su couldn't bear it anymore. She loosened her grip, threw away the umbrella, and hugged him.

Suddenly falling into a warm embrace, Yu Yan's pupils dilated in disbelief, and even her body trembled.

Puzzled, he turned to look at Su Su, and heard her sobbing, "Be nice to yourself, Yu Yan. I'm sad that you're like this, and my heart aches."

When she raised her eyes and looked into her gentle eyes, Yu Yan's expression became dazed again for a moment. His Xuejian was back?

He reached out and held her face, frowning, his eyes full of sadness. If this was a dream, he hoped he wouldn't wake up.

"Yu Yan! Do you really think I dare not kill you?!" Han Mingxiu's eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly rushed out of the hall, holding a long sword in his hand, and it seemed that he was determined to kill.

The palace servants wanted to stop him but didn't dare. Only Xiao Dezi fearlessly knelt on the ground, hugged his calf and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty... Ouch!"

Han Mingxiu kicked Xiao Dezi away with great force, kicking him two meters away.

Walking quickly to Yu Yan, with the sharp tip of the knife pointed at her, Han Mingxiu was so angry that his hands were shaking. "Don't think that I won't kill you just because of the late emperor's will! If Xiaoxiao dies, I will bury you with me!"

Swords and knives have no eyes. Su Su was really afraid that the emperor would get excited and lunge forward, stabbing Yu Yan to death. She rolled and crawled to protect Yu Yan behind her.

She opened her arms, disregarding the imperial power of her superiors, "Yu Yan did this for Xiao Xiao! The emperor has the energy to blame Yu Yan, why not ask himself what he has done?!"

"Even if Yu Yan didn't help her, Xiao Xiao would have died in the palace sooner or later! Can't the emperor see that she's not happy? She's like a withering flower. Compared to the mental torture day and night, death would be more peaceful! Xiao Xiao must be thinking so!"

Su Su was afraid that the emperor would hurt Yu Yan, but he was also afraid that she would get hurt. He, who had been pretending to be indifferent, suddenly became panicked.

He pulled Su Su over and protected her behind him, "Don't meddle in my business!"

"Nonsense! I...I..."

Han Mingxiu swallowed the rebuttal that came out of his mouth. He had no way to refute it. He was the person who loved Xiaoxiao the most in the world. How could he not understand Xiaoxiao?

But he couldn't let her go... He murmured to himself in frustration, "Except for freedom, I am willing to give her everything, even the position of queen, status, power, wealth..."

"Heh..." Yu Yan laughed at himself, not knowing if he laughed on purpose, he almost said it out loud, I don't want to live anymore, I was mocking the most noble man in Qixia.

He looked up at Han Mingxiu with compassion in his eyes, as if he was looking at his former self.

Sure enough, if these things happened to him, it would be heartbreaking and difficult to accept. How did he persuade him to be magnanimous in the first place? To let him learn from Li Xinglan and give freedom to the one he loved deeply?

Han Mingxiu knew what Yu Yan was mocking. He knew that Yu Yan was not afraid of his threats at all. It was almost written on his face that he didn't want to live anymore.

He looked at Yu Yan with complicated eyes. Now that he was in his shoes, he completely understood how he felt at that time.

After a stalemate, as if all his strength had been drained away, he dropped his hand weakly, and the long sword fell to the ground with a clang. "I... give her freedom..."

"Save her..."

After saying this, Han Mingxiu turned around woodenly and walked into the hall. As the emperor, his back looked particularly weak at this moment.

After kneeling for too long, Yu Yan almost lost consciousness in his lower body. He tried to support himself with his hands, but he couldn't stand up at all. Seeing this, Su Su hurriedly hugged his arm to support him.

He was also very thin, so thin that it was heartbreaking, and it took no effort at all to help him up.

"Yu Yan, after we rescue Xiao Xiao, let's have a good talk, shall we? I mean, let's talk about our future together."

Yu Yan thought he had misheard. He looked down at Su Su, his thin lips slightly parted in disbelief. Before he could answer, tears fell unconsciously.

He couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality. If it was a dream, then let him sleep forever and never wake up again.

Su Su also had tears in her eyes. She saw Yu Yan's feelings for her, and she thought she could answer Gou Ge's question.

Are you afraid of Yu Yan or afraid of not being free?

She is not afraid of Yu Yan, she is just afraid of being confined.
