Liu Yue stepped back subconsciously and shrank into the corner.

She looked at the person in front of her with vigilance, and asked as calmly as possible, "What's the bet? What do you want to do by bringing me here?"

Xie Wenyu looked at Liu Yueru who was so frightened, and the weird smile on his face became more obvious.

He stretched out his hand and hooked his fingertips, saying, "Come closer, I'll tell you what I want to do."

While Xie Wenyu was speaking, his eyes did not forget to wander back and forth on Liu Yueru's body.

Liu Yueru took the quilt from the side and covered herself tightly.

The iron chains under his feet also made a "clang, clang..." sound.

"What are you betting on? Tell me." Liu Yueru's face darkened instantly.

Xie Wenyu put away the smile on his face and pointed at the incense stick on the table. "Let's bet on whether they can find this place within one stick of incense. If they can, I will let you go today. If not, it means that you are not so important in their hearts, and I will..."

"Hahaha!" Xie Wenyu laughed shockingly, turned around to look at Liu Yueru and asked, "What do you think?"

"You only have half an incense stick of time!"

Liu Yueru stared at the incense stick in front of her, with complicated thoughts; "You are a hero in Kyoto, and you are well-known. If you do those things to me today, all the suffering you have endured over the years will be ruined by this bad reputation. It's not worth it."

Xie Wenyu couldn't stop laughing as if he heard a huge joke; "Hahaha!"

He suddenly climbed onto the bed and approached Liu Yueru. Mi Angrong spoke in a distorted voice, "Madam Liu, who else in this capital city will remember me? Who else can think of me?"

"I just want to see if those people will panic because a woman like you is missing!"

Liu Yueru's breathing stagnated, and she quietly clenched the hairpin in her hand; "I'm sorry!"

Xie Wenyu was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Yueru; "You, what did you say?"

"I'm sorry, you have suffered so much for us. We didn't take your feelings into consideration. I apologize to you on behalf of the people of Kyoto and all the officials." Liu Yueru spoke softly.

Xie Wenyu's distorted face gradually relaxed.

He slowly backed off the bed.

He looked at her seriously and asked, "Can you really feel my pain? No one has said such words to me in all these years. They locked me up in the side courtyard of the palace and thought I was crazy. In the end, everything I did was forgotten."

"No, Your Majesty. We all remember your efforts. It's just that we are all men and don't know how to take care of your feelings or how to express them. We haven't forgotten what's in our hearts."

Seeing that he was a little shaken, Liu Yueru went on to explain everything here directly; "The furniture in your room is all made of huanghuali wood. The emperor used the same furniture, but he was thinking about you and gave it to you."

"There are rumors outside that you are a lunatic, but the emperor is not surprised. He always sends people to your courtyard. This shows that he cares about you."

Xie Wenyu calmed down completely. Looking at the incense stick slowly burning in front of him, he suddenly asked, "Since they miss me, why don't they come to see me?"

Liu Yueru looked at Xie Wenyu in front of her and was choked for a moment.

He couldn't wait for Liu Yueru's answer and became impatient.

Emperor Hexu raised his hand and looked outside, urging them, "Hurry up, faster."

"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious." Although Concubine Xian was also anxious in her heart, she still patiently patted Emperor Hexu on the back and reminded him in a gentle voice.

"You don't know his temper. He has a guard with great martial arts skills by his side. All the women sent to him in those years were tortured to death by him. If Madam Liu falls into his hands, I'm afraid she will be in great danger..."

After hearing this, Concubine Xian’s face turned pale instantly.

She reached out her hand, gently lifted the curtain, and said to the people outside, "As fast as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Xian, please sit tight." The person carrying the sedan chair reminded.

The sedan chair moved quickly towards where Xie Wenyu lived.

"Master!" A servant's voice came from outside the room.

Xie Wenyu got up impatiently and walked outside.

He asked unhappily; "What's wrong?"

"Master, the emperor and his men are rushing over here." The servant saw Xie Wenyu kneeling in front of him and reported with a not very good look on his face.

Xie Wenyu was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look inside the house; "I didn't expect this woman to be so capable that those people would pay so much attention to her."

"Master, now is not the time to talk about this. What should we do? Do you want me to leave her somewhere else?"

Xie Wenyu raised his hand to stop him. "No need. Just wait for them to come over. I'll see how they deal with it."

The subordinate looked at Xie Wenyu with worry, as he had no idea what his master wanted to do.

"Clang!" The sound of iron chains colliding suddenly was heard in the house.

Xie Wenyu raised his hand and gestured, "Go and stop them."

"What?" The subordinate asked in confusion; "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Do as I ask!" Xie Wenyu said, and turned back to his room.

Liu Yueru was holding the hairpin and trying to open the lock on one of the anklets.

When Xie Wenyu saw this scene, his expression changed instantly.

He rushed to Liu Yueru and said angrily, "You can't escape!"

Xie Wenyu snatched the hairpin directly from Liu Yueru's hand.

He leaned against Liu Yueru's neck and said with bloodshot eyes, "If you don't want to die, be quiet."

Liu Yueru held her breath and quietly moved back a little.

Xie Wenyu couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands.

Blood oozed from Liu Yueru's fair neck, and fear rose in her heart. She explained in a low voice, "I did this just to help you, I have no other intentions, Third Uncle, please don't get excited."

"What did you call me?" Xie Wenyu's body stiffened and he asked in disbelief.

"Third Uncle! You are the prince's third uncle, and I am his princess, so I should call you Third Uncle." Liu Yueru explained.

Xie Wenyu suddenly stepped forward, took Liu Yueru's hairpin and untied the chain on her other foot.

"Clang!" Xie Wenyu threw the chain aside.

Liu Yueru looked at the other person with some confusion.

She was sure that the person in front of her was not stupid, but his temperament had become strange and his moods became unstable!

As long as you untie his heart knot, he will be able to recover.

"Let's go out and play chess with the Third Uncle!" Xie Wenyu said with a smile on his face.

Liu Yueru nodded slightly and followed Xie Wenyu obediently.

Staring at his back, Liu Yueru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her fluctuating emotions still made her feel uneasy.

I caught a glimpse of the incense stick on the table, which had burned out...
