Chapter 2042: A Surefire Scumbag

either speaking first."Just stared at each other for a moment, An Xuetang frowned and said, “Brother, what’s wrong with you”Feng Ming came back to his senses, he pursed his lips and shook his head sli...Seeing that Yunliu was not lying in bed recovering from his injuries properly, An Xuetang frowned. Just as she was about to reprimand him, Yunliu preempted her and spoke with a blush, "My Lady, my subordinate...my subordinate would like to borrow Ning'er for half an hour"

Ning'er, who stood behind An Xuetang: "..."

Before An Xue Tang could answer, Yun Liu hurriedly added, "If Your Highness finds half an hour too long, a quarter of an hour will do."

An Xue Tang, Ning'er: "..."

Both of them felt speechless and their thoughtful gazes fell upon Yunliu's face.

Ning'er looked at Yunliu, her heart filled with complicated emotions. Of course she knew what Yunliu wanted to say.

All those who were supposed to return to the palace have now come back, including their Valley Master.

If she let the guild leader notice the entanglement between her and Yunliu, she couldn't even imagine the consequences for herself and Yunliu.

It is precisely because she took these factors into consideration that she didn't want to be alone with Yunliu right now.

After she came to her senses, a pleading look was cast towards her own princess, hoping her princess would help get rid of Yunliu.

At this moment, An Xuetang was staring at Yunliu, but Yunliu's gaze fell on Ning'er beside her.

Although I haven't had many romantic experiences, I've learned a thing or two and I'm not naive.

Of course, you can see that Yunliu's eyes are deep and affectionate, obviously lovestruck and a little crazy from unrequited love.

It seems that Ning'er hasn't paid much attention to him these days, which made him feel uneasy and anxious.

At this moment, he disregarded the wounds on his body and came to find Ning'er to confirm her feelings and thoughts.

An Xuetang is not someone who is unreasonable. Yunliu likes Ninger.

Ning'er treats Yunliu differently from ordinary friends.

He could tell there was affection between the two, but their relationship seemed to have obstacles, preventing them from easily coming together.

An Xuetang fell silent for a moment. Having gone through life and death, she knew all too well that the world was impermanent.

So she hoped that the people around her were all as brave as Yunliu.

If there is love, then there is no need to escape.

Yunliu and Ning'er, a man unmarried and a woman unwed, if they have feelings for each other, why must they become those unfortunate mandarin ducks, loving yet unable to be together

If the two of them could be together, she would be very happy about it.

After pondering for a moment, An Xue Tang turned to Ning'er, ignoring her pleading gaze. She spoke softly, "Since Yunliu has something to say to you, why don't you go talk to him first There's nothing urgent at Jingtang Garden. You can chat slowly there, calmly and peacefully. No need to rush back."

Ning'er: "..."

Upon hearing what the princess consort said, Ning'er immediately spoke anxiously, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. There is nothing important between me and... him to discuss."

< Yunliu: "!" >

As soon as Ning'er said this, Yunliu immediately put on a pitiful expression. He pursed his lips and finally couldn't hold back, saying, "Could it be that in your eyes, Ning'er, our feelings aren't important"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ning'er frowned and glared at him, her voice cold. "What feelings could there possibly be between us"

Normally calm Ning'er was rather emotional at this moment.

An Xuetang could hear the urgency in her voice. She quickly spoke, "Ning'er, don't get angry first. Let's talk things through."

She was also afraid that Yun'er would anger Yúnliù, and thus became even more reluctant to chat with Yúnliù alone.

So she gently patted Ning'er on the shoulder and soothed in a low voice, "Yunliu still has wounds. Don't stab him in the heart right now."

"If he wants to speak to you, go with him first and see what he has to say. Talk to each other calmly and rationally, and you'll surely be able to understand each other."

"Well... actually, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, Ning'er. Life is short, so everyone should enjoy themselves while they can."

"Especially in a dangerous environment like ours, no one knows if they will even live to see tomorrow."

"Therefore, follow your heart and don't burden yourself with too many psychological worries."

"No matter what path you choose after the Clouds Six, I support you. But I hope you'll follow your hearts and live a life without regrets, okay"

Ning'er's face remained grave. It was easy for their Empress to say these things.

Only she knew, the hardest thing in her life was to follow her heart.

She could serve the princess as she pleased, she could protect the princess and young masters as she pleased, and she could stay at the Beijang王府 as she pleased.

But once she starts to follow her heart in dealing with her feelings, then all the things she can do as she pleases now will change dramatically.

Once the mistress finds out about her entanglement with Yunliu, once she realizes that she has feelings for him, she may no longer be able to stay by the princess's side freely, nor will she be able to stay in the palace at her own will.

Thus, after weighing her options, she could only bury this feeling deep in her heart, not daring to let anyone see it.

Alas, Yun Liu was impervious to reason. He repeatedly trespassed into her life, disrupting her rhythm and causing her to reveal her true feelings time and time again. This ultimately led the Princess to see through her facade of friendship and recognize the depth of her affection for Yun Liu.

It seems she must have a deep talk with Yunliu, to completely sever the entanglement between them.

You must absolutely not let yourself continue to show any weaknesses in front of anyone.

Thinking of this, Ning'er pursed her lips slightly and then nodded, saying to An Xuetang, "Then the servant will go right away."

An Xuetang thought that she had finally come to her senses, so she couldn't help but smile with relief and nodded. "No need to rush, take your time talking, have a good chat."

When Yunliu saw that Ning'er was willing to talk with him, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He thanked An Xue Tang and then, taking Ning'er with him, bid farewell to An Xue Tang and Xiao Qin before leaving Jingtang Garden.

Xiao Qin, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, saw the two figures leave and her eyebrows rose. She couldn't help but sigh, "Seeing the awkwardness between Ning'er and Yunliu just now reminded me of myself in the past."

"Having said that, he quickly added, “But Ning'er and Yunliu are more fortunate than me. At least they have encountered truly sincere people.”

Upon hearing this, An Xue Tang's eyes flickered.

She knew very well that Xiao Qin was thinking of Jiang Qingyang.

Before marrying Ye, Xiaoqin had always harbored affections for Jiang Qingyang, and her heart held no room for anyone else.

I would rather be constantly talked about than give up on my feelings for Jiang Qingyang.

At that time, Jiang Qingyang was only concerned with his reputation, his family's honor, and the future he had meticulously planned for himself. He dared not openly approach Xiao Qin.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Qingyang has always treated Xiao Qin as a spare tire.

Behind closed doors, he would put on a show of being smitten with Xia Qin, but in reality, he didn't take any action.

There was no plan for the future of the two people, they had only ever deceived Xiao Qin with their words.

That man is a total jerk! know if the young master will make it through this. The young master hasn't been well recently, and I don't know what will happen after enduring these fifty lashes.""... "Lei Hong heard this, a look...
