C662 Insecurity

Ye Xunxun heard the man's voice and knew that Karl was angry. She quickly said, "It's fine now. I don't feel pain. Really."

"Wife," Karl held the woman's sharp chin with both hands. His eyes were filled with seriousness. "Tell me, who did this to your injuries?"

"Karl," Ye Xunxun held the man's cold fingers and said gently, "Mimi said that she has been punished."

"No, she dared to hurt you like this. I will not let this matter rest."

"He is dead." Ye Xunxun lowered her head. "Mimi said... it was Charles..."

After a pause, Karl showed a satisfied smile. "He should be glad that he is dead."

Otherwise, what awaited that person would be a fate worse than death. Karl was confident that although he did not have any other abilities, he still had a set of poison skills.

"Alright, let's get ready. Let's go back now." Karl's fingers wrapped around the woman's long hair. "When I go back, I will nurture a specialized maid. She will follow you and protect you."

Otherwise, if Ye Xunxun kept getting into trouble, he would feel like his heart was about to shatter.

Every time, it was dangerous, just like riding a roller coaster!

Ye Xunxun heard this but her mind was not on this. Instead, she suddenly hooked her arm around the man's neck. Her sharp and beautiful chin was placed on the man's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Karl was a little confused. He pulled the zipper on Ye Xunxun's back and wrapped the woman tightly with the blanket.

"Karl, can you abolish the punishment of exile and let the people of Northen Lands return to their hometown?"

Stunned, Karl hugged the woman's slender waist and closed his eyes, enjoying the fragrance of the woman's body.

"Why did you suddenly say this?"

He was afraid that only he himself knew how much influence Ye Xunxun had on him. Many ministers had also mentioned to him that they were afraid of the queen's ambition.

Fortunately, Ye Xunxun, this silly lass, did not have any wild ambitions. But now, why did she suddenly start to interfere in politics?

The punishment in Northen Lands was something that existed when Country Z existed. Its purpose was to deter those extremely poor and fierce criminals, and... The rebels who wanted to rebel.

One had to know that the resources in Northen Lands were scarce. They had to rely on the Imperial Capital to provide them with food and clothing. The environment was harsh. When they came here, they would almost be stepping into the gates of hell - it was really a good knife to kill.

"Karl, are these people really unpardonable? Why must they stay here for the rest of their lives?"

Ye Xunxun said, and when she thought of Ulysses again, she felt even more sad in her heart.

From a moral point of view, Ulysses was not wrong. Everyone wanted to protect their family. His sister died, but he was exiled here because he offended the nobility.

"Baby, you don't understand. This place is used to deal with enemies and opponents." Karl said, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, sexy and charming.

"The scariest thing is actually not death, nor is it a fate worse than death. Instead, it is waiting for death."

That's right. When one came to a place, one could do nothing but wait for death to approach. In this world, there should be nothing worse than suffering and despair than this, right?

Ye Xunxun's fingers loosened bit by bit and left the man's neck. She tightly bit her lower lip and softly said, "The two of us are probably not from the same world."

Finishing, Ye Xunxun fell asleep and pulled the blanket to cover her entire body.

Karl saw this and was stunned. "What did you say?"

"Nothing. I am tired. I need to rest. You can go out first."

Hearing this calm voice, Karl felt that his heart was stifled. He frowned and said, "Wife, why are you making trouble again?"

Wasn't she still fine before? Why did this woman... in the blink of an eye?

Ye Xunxun was holding it in her blanket. She felt extremely bitter in her heart. Actually, she was not a willful person. She would not act like a small character just because other people did not agree to her request.

Now, she was just a little sad. The people of Northen Lands could only live in despair without any end, just like herself in the orphanage.

If she had not met Mimi, she would probably still be living in the depths of misery.

But these people, it was just a matter of a word from Karl, and their lives would be completely overturned.

Also, Ulysses, I had promised her that I would abolish the Northen Lands's punishment grounds. In the end, he was still too confident.

In the bottom of this man's heart, in the end, he still couldn't compare to a political struggle, power, and status, right?

Karl stood beside the bed, his tall and straight body was tall and straight, but his handsome face was covered in dark clouds. He suddenly extended his finger and ripped off the quilt on Ye Xunxun's head.

When he saw the crystal clear liquid on the woman's fair and small face, Karl frowned. "Why are you crying?"

Ye Xunxun only curled up her whole body and tightly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes were still covered with tears.

Seeing the woman's actions, Karl frowned even more. He knew that Ye Xunxun only liked to put herself together when she felt that she was not safe.

"Alright, I promise you, alright? From tomorrow onwards, abolish the punishment in Northen Lands. All refugees will return to their normal status and can enter and exit the Imperial Capital."

Ye Xunxun just hid in the corner of the wall and did not open her eyes. She suddenly remembered what Charles had said in the past.

"Do you see that? There is no one in this palace who will listen to you." Ye Xunxun thought of this and clenched her fingers.

"Think about it. If one day Karl wants to abandon you, who will help you? You will only have a tragic fate of being abandoned. No one will help you."

If she was really abandoned by this man... Thinking of this, Ye Xunxun could not help but tremble.

"Ye Xunxun!"

Seeing that his promise did not change back to this woman's smile, giving it to the woman, and not even giving him a taste, the anger in Karl's heart rose.

"Karl, I want to be alone for a while. You go out first."

Calm down... Calm down... As he thought of these three words in his heart, Karl gritted his teeth and pulled the woman up from the bed.

Staring at the woman's almond eyes, Karl's voice was filled with hatred, "Damn it, tell me, what do you need peace for!? Didn't I promise you?!"

Looking at the man's handsome face, Ye Xunxun was in a trance. If this man really did not want her one day, what right would she have to speak?

Karl, if one day you really don't love me anymore, what should I do?
