Chapter 269 The Princess of a Fallen Kingdom Takes Over the Two-Faced Crown Prince (40 chapters)

As Dugu Jue repeated each word, his voice grew colder, and Chu Yuan felt a chill for no reason.

In his mind, he politely cursed the ancestors of this Night Shadow thing for eight generations!

Why not choose a date for your lover's meeting? Why not her wedding day?

Is she afraid that Dugu Ling won't kill her fast enough?

Chu Yuan didn't dare to snatch the note anymore, and chuckled awkwardly, "Dugu Jue, believe me, I have absolutely no connection with this person!"

The latter's eyes remained cold. "It's okay. He said he misses you and wants to meet you?"

Chu Yuan patted the bed board. "Pay attention to the key point. Didn't he say that they hadn't seen each other for many years...? I used to have a bodyguard named Ye Ying, who was highly skilled in martial arts and was specifically there to protect me. But when Ji Yun destroyed the kingdom, he disappeared without a trace. I don't know if he's dead or alive. Who knows if his sudden reappearance is true or not..."

As she spoke, she noticed that Dugu Jue's handsome face slowly loomed larger in front of her, until finally his lips were on hers.

Chu Yuanru was simultaneously silenced and immobilized by acupoints.

The man smirked. "I'm not interested in his identity. I'm more interested in whether there's any relationship between you two beyond that of master and servant."

Chu Yuan's eyes flickered.

Nonsense, if there were no feelings involved, would Nightshade have come knocking on our door?

In the end, the original owner, who was both love-struck and a victim of injustice, died at his hands!

"I……"

"Okay! I understand!" Chu Yuan was about to speak when Dugu Jue interrupted her with a displeased pursed lip.

This guy is stupid. His guilt and anxiety are written all over his face, and he's still trying to make excuses.

Do you think he's blind?

He's not that idiot Dugu Ling.

Chu Yuan opened her mouth, "No, let me explain..."

The next moment, the man lifted her off the bed. "No need. Whether it's a person or a ghost, I, Your Highness, will see for myself."

Chu Yuan was terrified. "Now?"

Is he out of his mind? Today isn't their wedding day, their wedding night, and he's choosing to meet his rival at this time?

After an incense stick had burned, a completely black horse carrying the two of them sped through the deserted streets. Only then did Chu Yuan understand:

He was a madman criticizing Dugu Jue; his thinking was truly extraordinary.

He explained that this behavior was called an adventure, and then, in an ambiguous manner, he used the tip of his tongue to trace the shape of Chu Yuan's earlobe, saying, "It's so special that it will leave a deep impression on you."

Chu Yuan: I remember this so vividly!

At first, Chu Yuan sat in the front, and the speed was not fast. They stopped several times along the way, and Chu Yuan's position changed from the front to the back.

She hugged Dugu Jue's waist, pressing herself against him without any gap between them.

Suddenly the horse's hoof twitched, and both of them were jolted along with the horse's back.

Instinctively panicked, Chu Yuan hugged Dugu Jue even tighter. However, due to the jolting, her hand inadvertently grabbed something she shouldn't have.

Chu Yuan...

Dugu Jue froze, then tightened the reins and let out a "whoosh".

Chu Yuan licked her lips, "Let's go, let's go."

Dugu Jue lowered his head, seemingly looking at something, but Chu Yuan had the feeling that he was looking at her hand, and awkwardly moved her hand up a little.

Dugu Jue raised his head, took a deep breath, and looked straight ahead, saying, "On our wedding night, are you inviting me to do something even more unforgettable?"

At this moment, both of them are on horseback; all they need to do is switch positions...

Chu Yuan suddenly thought of this and blushed instantly. She abruptly let go of her hand, as if there was something burning hot in front of her.

Noticing her embarrassment, Dugu Jue chuckled, "Hold on tight, I was just kidding."

Chu Yuan didn't find the joke funny at all!

She ran slowly for about half an hour, and there was still a resentful look on her face.

Soon, we finally arrived at Shili Pavilion.

Inside the drafty pavilion, two thick red candles burned. A tall, sculpted figure sat with his back to them, his blurry shadow reflected on the candlelit ground, his shape slightly distorted.

The sound of horses' hooves reached his ears, and the man turned his head. His expectant eyes lit up when he saw Chu Yuan.

But when he caught sight of Dugu Jue, he was momentarily stunned.

Even the movement of getting up and moving forward was slightly sluggish.

However, Ye Ying quickly reacted, ran forward, lifted his robe, and knelt down in front of Chu Yuan, "Your subordinate Ye Ying greets Your Highness, may Your Highness live a thousand years! If I can see Your Highness again in my lifetime, I will die without regret!"

He performed a deep bow, prostrating himself in utmost devotion. On the snow-covered road in the suburbs, his body was covered in snow from waiting for an unknown amount of time. He lay prostrate on the ground as if buried in the snow, which was incredibly moving.

Chu Yuan was shocked, thinking that this guard had really gone to great lengths to deceive the original owner of the body.

The acting was absolutely superb!

Just as he was wondering where to begin, Dugu Jue dropped a bombshell: "Now that you've seen it, you can die without regrets."

Chu Yuan, "..."

Night Shadow, "..."

The latter didn't look up, nor did he respond to Dugu Jue's attack. He simply said in a muffled voice, as if he were sad, "Ye Ying was the princess's person in life and in death. If the princess has lived in Huaxu for a few years and forgotten Ye Ying, and no longer wants to see Ye Ying, then Ye Ying can..."

"That's enough," Chu Yuan interrupted him.

Dugu Jue let out another soft snort beside his ear, clearly dissatisfied.

Chu Yuan ignored him, let go of his hand, grabbed his mane, and jumped down to help the figure in the snow up.

Only when you get closer can you see Nightshade's appearance clearly.

He was sharp and handsome, like a sword drawn from its sheath, yet his gaze towards her was full of affection and tenderness.

No wonder the original owner couldn't handle it.
