r belonged to any faction, but due to his high social skills, he almost made every faction automatically regard him as one of their own. Thus, this shows how deep his scheming is and how clever his me...Xuan Yuan Che was speechless by her reply. Unconvinced, he asked again, "Have you ever loved me"

Su Qingying twitched the corner of her mouth. Wasn't she here to persuade him to get up How come he ended up asking her a bunch of nonsensical questions

Then Su Qingying impatiently opened her mouth: "What are you asking this for Is it important Don't change the subject..."

"Important!" Xuanyuan Che interrupted Su Qingying's words in a deep voice, looking straight into her eyes, staring at her seriously, and said word by word, "Important to me!"

In the distance, Jun Li stood on the eaves, gazing at this scene from afar. Her sexy thin lips lightly pursed.

Although they were quite a distance away, Jun Li's internal energy was profound, allowing him to hear their conversation clearly. He was also very curious about Su Qingying's response.

"It's truly ironic, isn't it Back then, I was hopelessly infatuated with you, but you only ever showed me disgust. Now you eagerly ask if I ever loved you Well, perhaps there was a sliver of love for you back then, but now, I have absolutely no romantic feelings for you whatsoever. I hope that makes things clear."

With a cold laugh, Su Qingying's voice carried a faint mockery. Her words were cuttingly hurtful, and her eyes held a cold, indifferent gleam, devoid of the slightest trace of past affection.

"I'm sorry." His lips moved slightly, then closed again in immense grief, the thousand words reduced to just those three.

"It's normal for men and women to love each other. You have nothing to apologize for." Su Qingying didn't think there was anything wrong. If you don't love someone, you just don't. If you do, you do. It's a matter of mutual consent, there's no right or wrong.

He only erred in the beginning, when he went to such lengths to break his engagement with her, even willing to ruin her reputation.

Su Qingying didn't want to waste any more time talking to him. She cut straight to the point, "I'm asking you one last time, are you getting up or not"

"I'm sorry, I can't get up. You should go back. There's no need for you to stay and get wet with me." Xuan Yuan Feng was surprisingly stubborn, refusing to get up no matter what.

"Love his mother kneel then kneel, old lady doesn't care about you anymore! It's not me who is bothered! Xuan Yuan Che, I look down on you!" Su Qingying also had a few points of anger on her face, and she didn't care about him anymore. Anyway, she had already advised him well, how he would do was none of her business, dead or alive, it had nothing to do with her.

As soon as she left the imperial study, Jun Liye insisted on taking the umbrella from under the eaves and called out to her, "Su Qingying."

"Jun Liye How is it that you're everywhere I go" Su Qingying looked at Jun Liye with a headache. What bad luck!

"I heard your conversation with Xuan Yuan Che. Do you truly have no feelings for him at all" Jun Liye said.

Hearing this, Su Qingying immediately rolled her eyes at him, "I, Su Qingying, am not a person who takes things for granted. If I don't like something, I just don't like it. Haven't you seen how Xuan Yuan Che and Lan Xin Yao are madly in love Why should I interfere"

Right

Jun Liye sneered inwardly. He saw through everything better than anyone else. Xuan Yuan Che knelt in the imperial study not for Lan Xin Yao, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to explore Su Qingying's inner thoughts and see if she still had him in her heart.

But Jun Linyue would absolutely never tell Su Qingying this. He hoped that Su Qingying would remain indifferent to Xuan Yuan Che.

Upon hearing Su Qingying's straightforward answer, Jun Liye's lips immediately curved into a dazzling smile. His mood was excellent. "This king thought you were overthinking things, but I see you are quite insightful."

Su Qingying looked at the man laughing like a Shiba Inu, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead. She opened her mouth speechless, "You wouldn't have come here just to confirm if I've gone crazy, would you You're really making being Regent way too boring!"

“Matters of state are shouldered by Emperor Beiling, I am merely the Regent King, naturally at leisure.”

"You're kidding, right Everyone knows Jun Li Ye's status is higher than the Emperor of Bei Ling. I bet you've got him completely under your thumb."

"Not bad, not stupid either." As soon as those words left his lips, Su Qingying's face instantly darkened, as if she had been insulted for being foolish.

Just as she was about to get angry, Jun Liye tossed the key to her from afar. "Go on."

"What do you want me to do with the key" Su Qingying immediately put it in her mouth and took a bite. To her surprise, it was actually pure gold! Now that's great.

“This is one of the keys to my treasure vault.” Glancing at Su Qingying's series of actions, Jun Liye had three thick black lines hanging behind his head, “This is just one of them. There are two more keys, and all three must be used together to open it.”

Su Qingying, upon hearing this, quickly leaned in front of him and stretched out her slender jade hand to ask, "Wouldn't that sword be useless What use would it be for me! Just give me the other two swords as well."

"Depends on my mood," Jun Li said, turning away with a haughty air, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Damn it!" Su Qingying jumped up and down, a surge of blood rushing to her head.

……

Inside Lingxiao Palace, Xuan Yuan Luocheng stood with his hands behind his back by the window, staring at the rain curtain outside for a long time without saying a word.

Xuan Yuan Luo Chen had never graced any of the concubines with his presence, always residing in his Lingxiao Palace. To him, women were always a distraction from governing.

"Big brother, you really made Little Seven kneel for an entire night He still has wounds on him. What if..." Xuanyuan Mo couldn't bear this silence anymore. He was truly worried about Xuanyuan Che's injuries, but Xuanyuan Luochen stood there silently for a long time, seemingly indifferent. For a moment, he thought he had simply passed away!

As expected, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen still didn't reply. Xuan Yuan Mo thought he was still angry with Xuan Yuan Che, so he sighed, "Your Majesty, I think this might not be a bad thing."

"Indeed, it's not a bad thing." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen turned around, his unfathomable amber eyes obscure and ambiguous.

Xuan Yuan Mo was startled, then reacted instantly, "Brother Emperor, could it be that you already had a plan Today's events... are they..."

"Hmph, do you think he would fall for this trick if it wasn't in front of Lan Bo The net has been cast nearly enough. It's time to reel it in." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen sneered coldly, his face filled with killing intent.

If Xuan Yuan Luo Chen was so easily schemed against by Lan Bo, then he, as emperor, might as well Xuan Yuan Mo looked at Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's youthful and handsome face, where a hint of arrogance flickered. The worry between his brows slowly stretched out.

Yes, how could he doubt his elder brother's ability Looking at the entire world, those who could rival him could be counted on one hand. How could Lan Bo possibly be his opponent

"As for Little Seven…" Since he already had a countermeasure, could they bring him back

"Hmph, if I don't give him a lesson, he'll think I'm made of paper!" Xuanyuan Luocheng let out a cold snort. He was truly angered by Xuanyuan Che's actions.

"Your Majesty, it's bad news! Prince Rui has fainted!" As she spoke, Little Fozi rushed into the hall in a panic to report.

"Quickly! Call for Taishyi!" Xuan Yuan Mo and Xuan Yuan Locheng's faces both changed, they strode out in large steps.

Lingxiao Palace was in disarray, tonight was sure to be a noisy night...and there was an inexplicable displeasure on her pretty face. "Is Jun Li Ye fond of Yun Ling"Unnoticed of Su Qingying's displeasure, Xi'er continued her gossip endlessly, practically worshipping Yun...
