C34 Ambiguous distance
Tang Kexin's body shook. She could feel that if she wasn't leaning against a tree trunk, she might have fallen over.
When Tang Kexin saw him staring at her, she didn't seem to want to leave. She could only straighten her back and walk over.
"This humble girl pays her respects to the third prince." No matter what, he had to pay his respects first.
"I pay my respects to the third prince." The two concubines who had just been engaged in an intense battle also came to a stop when they saw Youlan. They hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.
Ye Lan didn't move. He didn't say anything, but continued to stare at Tang Kexin.
She had completely ignored the two consorts.
Tang Ke felt his scalp tingle as he looked at her, causing him to panic. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she automatically straightened her body and greeted him with a cheerful voice as much as possible, "What a coincidence. Third Prince came for a walk so early in the morning?"
No matter what, it was good to ease up the atmosphere.
Upon hearing Tang Kexin's words, the corner of everyone's lips twitched. Coming down to take a walk in the third hall? What did she think? Was this even early in the morning? It was almost noon.
He continued to stare at Tang Kexin, his expression unreadable. It was as if he hadn't heard her words, and his gaze was very indifferent. However, it was enough to make one feel cold.
"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first." All of the women in the imperial harem had become elites. It could be seen that the third prince was targeting Tang Kexin, so it had nothing to do with them. They quickly took their leave.
Ye Lan Jue didn't say anything as he quickly left with his men.
For a time, there was only Tang Ke Xin and Ye Lan Jue in the courtyard.
"This humble girl will also take her leave." Seeing that everyone had left, Tang Ke Xin tried to open his mouth as well. Although she knew that the chances of him asking her to leave were very small, she didn't want to try.
Life is about trying. Although many attempts have resulted in destruction.
Ye Lanjue still didn't say anything, he only looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Tang Ke's heart's eyes blinked as he tried moving his feet.
"Do you believe that This King will cripple your foot?" However, just as she lifted her foot to throw it away, Ye LanJue's cold voice suddenly rang out. The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to instantly turn her into a pile of ice.
Tang Kexin's foot forcibly returned to its original position. She secretly let out a breath and raised her head to look at him, trying her best to calm her heart down. "Your Highness, we have no enmity and no grudges. This isn't too good, right?"
As for why? He even crippled her foot?
What hatred was this? What hatred?
However, no matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Therefore, she lowered her head and stood there quietly. In an instant, she had transformed into a well-behaved girl.
"Have the two consorts fight to the death in the imperial palace. They have quite the skill." Seeing her current appearance, the corner of Ye Lanjue's lips twitched suspiciously. Only, his voice had become even deeper.
"I didn't do anything." The corner of Tang Ke's mouth twitched slightly. She had only said a few words just now and hadn't done anything else.
She wasn't sure when Ye Lanjue had arrived. She had always been very vigilant, but she actually hadn't noticed anything just now.
Therefore, she had a bit of a fluke. Or perhaps, he had not been here for long, and might have just arrived. He might not have heard her words before.
"This King realizes that you have quite the guts." Ye Lan smiled coldly, his words slowly spreading out word by word. They were deathly still and icy cold, yet they were filled with the danger of killing a thousand miles away.
Hearing his words, Tang Ke was inwardly shocked. He didn't know if he was just discussing the matter, or if he had something else to say.
Actually, she still suspected that he might be the man from that night. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't have paid so much attention to her.
If he was the man at the temple that night, then ?
She really hoped that it wouldn't be him. This man was too dangerous and too scary.
"Did the emperor check out your name last night?" At this moment, Night Tide Jue didn't mention anything else at all. He only opened his mouth once more, and immediately focused his attention on the matter at hand.
"?" Of course not. She was the one who made it up, so Tang Ke didn't say anything. He lowered his head and decided to play dumb.
However, after hearing his words, Tang Ke completely gave up. He knew that he had seen it all.
Since he had seen it, it was useless for her to say anything now.
In such a situation, the best thing to do was to admit your mistakes. The more sincere one was, the better it was for them.
Seeing that she had kept her head down and had only used her head to face him, Ye Lan didn't say anything. He let out a soft sigh, "You even dare to lie to me like this. Just how many heads do you have on your head?"
Perhaps the third prince had been staring at her forehead for too long, and then suddenly said something like that.
At first, Tang Kexin thought that in this kind of situation, there were only two possible outcomes. One was to be scared to death, and the other was to be cold to death, but after hearing his sudden words, Tang Kexin's eyes flickered. Perhaps, she might be able to come up with a third outcome.
"One? "Could it be that there are more?" Tang Kexin raised her head and asked with a blank and innocent expression. Her lips curved up in a bright smile.
Ye Lan Jue's eyes flashed. This time, the smirk on his face was obvious. This woman?
Under such circumstances, she could still laugh? And she was smiling so much ? It was dazzling.
He stared at her again, saying nothing.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Tang Ke Xin couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but his current expression didn't seem as cold as before.
"It's so hot that people are about to die from the sun's heat. Why don't we go to the front and take advantage of the shade?" Tang Kexin tried to lift her foot and move forward.
However, before she could take a step back, he suddenly shot a cold beam of light straight at her raised foot.
Tang Ke's heart skipped a beat. She had the feeling that if she were to take that step forward, just his gaze would be enough to freeze her feet.
"Cough." Tang Ke coughed lightly and retracted his foot. However, he did not give up in the end and once again tried to retreat. Similarly, before she could completely move, his ice-cold gaze once again shot over.
"About that, we can't move forward or back off. Is it feasible for us to move to the side?" Tang Ke felt extremely depressed, so depressed that he wanted to slap him flying. It was a pity that she didn't dare and didn't have the ability to do so.
However, would he be able to live or die happily? It's not good to always use your eyes to scare people, is it?
What was even more depressing was that under his gaze, she was actually forced to retreat.
"Why don't you try moving one of them?" Night Tide's solemn voice was clearly threatening, but it seemed to contain a trace of other emotions.
When Tang Ke heart heard this, that little rascal's temper immediately rose. Was he trying to force her to her death? What could he do? What could he do to her now that they were in the palace and on a busy road?
Besides, there was still the empress in the palace. The empress truly cared for her. She ? she had a backer.
However, just as she lifted her foot and was about to move, Ye Lanjue suddenly extended his hand and grabbed her shoulder. Before she could come back to her senses, he had already brought her to a place so close to that she couldn't get any closer.
His hand was still on her shoulder. It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or his deliberate action, but the place he was holding onto right now was exactly the place that he had been bitten by that man the other day.
At this moment, she was almost in his embrace. Her head was slightly raised, and his head was slightly lowered. The angle, the posture, the distance ?
It was simply amazing!
At this moment, if he lowered his head even a little, or if she accidentally moved a little, it was highly likely that she and his lips would be pressed together.
