After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

With tears in her eyes, she looked at him with empty eyes, as if he was no longer the familiar person, but a completely stranger.

The way she looked at him made Xie Yunji feel a sharp pain in his heart. He explained anxiously, "I didn't mean it. I only asked them to send you to the gate of Jiang's house, and I didn't ask them to treat you like that..."

However, his words seemed so pale and powerless.

At this moment, Xie Yunji deeply regretted his original decision.

He only gave the order at that time, but neglected to instruct the secret guards not to hurt her.

How could he have imagined that this woman, whom he once regarded as insignificant, would become the apple of his eye in the future?

Looking back now, he felt extremely remorseful and regretful, wondering how much pain she had suffered because of his negligence.

Xie Yunji held her in his arms, sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from her neck. His voice was filled with a hint of pleading, and he whispered, "Don't leave me. It's you I love, and it's always been you."

Song Nihuan smiled sadly and slowly pushed him away, her eyes revealing deep disappointment and pain. She said in a low and trembling voice: "If it weren't for Xie Tan, could you love me? How much of what you said to me was true? Xie Tan once said many things to me that I couldn't understand, but now when I think about it, they were the truth."

Suddenly, as if she thought of something important, she felt cold from head to toe, her eyes widened, and she asked, "I have never been able to get pregnant and have a child. I feel guilty. I know that I caught a cold in Fu Rao Court and got sick. I took medicine desperately to make up for it..."

"So you knew this all along? You knew that I had been in that kind of place and that I probably couldn't get pregnant. And you watched me take the pills?"

He stared at her silently, his eyes red and his lips trembling slightly, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

Yes, he secretly prayed to God for mercy. What if the sterilizing medicine he sent her to take was fake? What if she could get pregnant after taking the fertility-enhancing medicine?

Can this cover up the wrong things he has done?

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Song Nihuan's lips. She realized that she was so naive that she was being trampled upon by him without even realizing it.

I used to worry about not being able to continue the Xie family's bloodline, so I swallowed the bitter pill every day without telling him... It turned out that he knew everything.

She passed him by without any regrets.

Xie Yunji held her hand, not allowing her to break free, "Are you thinking about Xie Tan? I've been married to you for more than three years, but it's still not as good as the feelings you had when you were young, right?"

Hearing her mention Xie Tan and watching her resolutely leaving, he could no longer bear it, "You are not allowed to leave! Don't you care about Song Lanzhi anymore?!"

Song Nihuan was shocked. Was he using Song Lanzhi to threaten her? !

She turned around to look at him. He was staring at her coldly, without any warmth in his eyes. He seemed so strange.

Song Nihuan originally thought that Song Lanzhi, as a hostage of the Kingdom of Boli and kept in the Lishan Palace, would not be in any danger. She planned to find a house in Lishan to settle down after leaving the Xie family so that she could be closer to Lanzhi.

But looking at Xie Yunji's expression, it doesn't seem like he can't do anything to Lan Zhi.

He actually used this to threaten her!

When she mentioned Song Lanzhi, she felt full of guilt and could no longer pretend to be calm. She subconsciously raised her hand...

With a "slap", Xie Yunji was slapped in the face.

"If you dare to touch him," she said, "I will definitely kill you."

Xie Yunji's skin was cold and pale. Her slap was so hard that half of his face soon became red and swollen, but the corners of his lips slowly rose. It was great that she cared about Song Lanzhi. As long as he could control Song Lanzhi, she would never leave.

Hearing the noise, the emperor's personal guards who came with Xie Yunji to announce the decree outside the shelter all looked sideways. Xie Ming couldn't help but run over and said in panic, "My lord, your face! You still have to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

"Keep your voice down!" Xie Yunji said calmly, "Do you want everyone standing over there to know what's going on?"

"You've been beaten, have you calmed down?" Xie Yunji looked at her, his eyes full of humility, as if the coldness and viciousness just now was Song Nihuan's illusion. "There is only one thing, you are not allowed to leave. Song Lanzhi can't move for now. When he gets better, I will find a way to let you go to the palace to live with him for a while. Is that okay?"

She looked up at him. His skin looked even whiter against his green official uniform. The imprint of her palm was very obvious on the side of his face. She was so angry that she slapped him without caring about anything.

She didn't know that he still had to return to the palace to report, and it would be impolite to appear in front of the emperor with a wound on his face.

What would other officials say about him if they saw this?

Seeing her frightened look, Xie Yunji felt tender in his heart, because she still cared about him.

He leaned over and held her shoulders, looked into her eyes and said softly, "It's okay, just go down the mountain and find some ice to apply. Go back to Xie Mansion and wait for me, don't leave, okay?"

"I was anxious just now and said those words in anger. Don't take it to heart. I know you just met your brother and you must want to stay by his side. I will do my best and also arrange for someone from the Xie family to go into the palace to look after him." His words were filled with gentle understanding that made people feel like spring breeze.

He smiled faintly, not caring about his swollen cheeks. He looked like the bright moon in the sky, clean and warm.

Xie Yunji could debate with the emperor and his colleagues in the court, and he would take his time to do what he wanted to do, but when it came to her, he became anxious and said everything...

Haste makes waste.

Mount Li Palace.

There wasn't much that Xiao Huang wanted to take with him, so packing was easy.

Langya was the home of the Wang family for hundreds of years. When Xiao Huang went there, he had nothing to take with him, needless to say he had plenty of food and drink.

It’s a pity that Lan Zhi has to stay here.

Xiao Huang thought a lot. If he forcibly took Song Lanzhi away, it would not be a bad idea. However, with Lanzhi's current physical condition, he might not be able to withstand the fatigue of the journey and die on the way.

Leaving Lan Zhi in the palace would allow him to be closer to his sister.

I think this is what Lan Zhi wishes.

Xiao Huang lowered his head.

A few days later, the chief of the East Depot arrived at the palace. Xiao Huang's trip to Langya was the emperor's family affair, and it was natural for the East Depot to share the emperor's worries about such confidential matters.

The governor was tall and thin, with a very pale complexion and no stubble. He always had a faint smile on his lips. If it weren't for the black and gold dragon robe he was wearing, he would not be able to be seen as a eunuch.

He first went to comfort Xiao Huang, confirmed the departure time, and then went to the back hall to visit Song Lanzhi.

"Nineteenth Prince, long time no see." He smiled, and then leaned over to carefully relax the muscles of the person lying down. "Look, His Highness takes such good care of me. I heard that people who lie down for too long will have stiff flesh. If others hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the Nineteenth Prince had been lying down for almost three months."

None of the maids standing aside dared to speak.

The young man under the brocade quilt had bruises all over his body.
