Ning Liangyuan is dead.

When Ning Chen learned that it was Tang Yu who did it himself, he felt uncomfortable and divided.

Tang Yu looked at Ning Chen and although he didn't vent his anger on her directly, it was obvious that his thoughts were wandering.

Her expression remained unchanged, instead there was confusion and a hint of fear on her face, but she was already feeling disdainful in her heart.

Look, this is what a man is.

I say how much I love you and how much I am pleased with you.

But once the real moment comes, you will realize how illusory those promises are.

She did not deny that Ning Chen liked her, but although he was indifferent to the woman who had served her, he still had a hint of physical affection for her.

He had clearly said before that he could kill Ning Liangyuan to vent her anger, but once Ning Liangyuan really died, he inexplicably took his anger out on her.

Fortunately, she did not take him to heart, otherwise she would have followed in Ning Liangyuan's footsteps.

Tang Yu looked at Ning Chen for a moment, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke, which made people subconsciously feel pity for him.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong? You seem very unhappy today."

Ning Chen looked up belatedly and noticed the fear on Tang Yu's face.

He frowned slightly, feeling a little sad in his heart.

He couldn't say why. In fact, he just felt regretful about Ning Liangyuan's death. But it was the woman in front of him who he always thought was kind and who felt sorry for her even if she stepped on an ant.

He felt an inexplicable sense of disconnection and even began to doubt whether Yu'er's kindness was just a disguise.

"Nothing, it's just that the things at the court are bothering me. In two months it will be my father's birthday. The barbarians have repeatedly offended us at the border. The prestige of our Great Yan cannot be offended. I'm afraid there will be a war after the birthday. I'm just bothered by these things."

Tang Yu nodded and looked at Ning Chen with particularly affectionate eyes.

"Then will Your Highness go too? Swords are merciless on the battlefield, and I am worried about Your Highness."

Ning Chen was still absent-minded. After chatting for a few sentences, he relaxed his tone and pretended to be casual in testing.

"I heard that Ning Liangyuan was killed by you, Yu'er? The crime she committed this time was too serious, and I couldn't save her. But after all, she served me for many years..."

Tang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression changed immediately. His eyes widened and tears welled up in his eyes, which made him look even more pitiful with his beautiful eyebrows and white teeth.

"Your Highness, it is me, but...but..." She hesitated deliberately and then acted as if she was angry.

"If Your Highness thinks that I am vicious, I have nothing to say."

Tang Yu had never been angry with Ning Chen before, this was the first time. Not only did Ning Chen feel novel, but he also felt a little panicked.

He wrapped his arms around the petite woman and held her tightly, ignoring her weak struggles.

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried that you're timid and afraid. Why are you so angry now? I just asked you a question and you got angry?"

Ning Chen didn't even bother to ask about Ning Liangyuan.

Of course the dead cannot compare to the living.

Tang Yu said nothing, just lowered his head and cried.

This made Ning Chen feel a rare sense of self-blame.

"I was just asking casually. If Yu'er is angry, just beat me up, okay? Don't cry. It makes me feel bad."

Tang Yu choked with sobs.

"Your Highness was originally angry with me because of Ning Liangyuan. I'm afraid that Your Highness still thinks that I am vicious. But, but it was the Crown Princess who asked me to see Ning Liangyuan off."

"I am able to serve Your Highness thanks to Her Majesty the Crown Princess. How could I not do what Her Majesty ordered? But Your Highness wrongly accuses me..."
