Li Yunrong tried her best to control herself and didn’t leave. She couldn’t help but think of the scene when they met yesterday…
At first, Empress Dowager Yuan was unwilling to accept the tea she served. It was only when Kang Wang spoke that she reluctantly accepted her cup of tea.
During the acknowledgment, those royal relatives were polite on account of Kang Wang, but they all ignored her. No one even said any soft words to her.
She also heard that someone was absent from the banquet behind her back.
Just because her surname was Li, everything about her was erased.
Li Yunrong lowered her eyes, and a dark expression flashed across her eyes.
Chu You’s heart ached for his princess consort, and his expression became uglier and uglier. His gaze scraped across Gu Yuan’s face like an icicle, and he berated, “Gu Yuan, don’t go too far!”
Chu You wanted to say that Rong’er and he were siblings after all. He wanted to say that Princess Consort Kang didn’t disgrace their Gu family…
He wanted to say a lot, but Gu Yuan didn’t want to hear a word. His voice was even colder. “Kang Wang, bring the princess consort back. Don’t go to the wrong door. It’s ominous.”
Gu Yuan didn’t even give Chu You face. In front of Chu You, he turned around and instructed the concierge, “Old Sun, don’t open the door and let unrelated people in. Uninvited guests aren’t welcome at home.”
“Gu Yuan, how dare you!” Chu You shouted angrily.
He was like a furious tiger. He wanted to take a big step forward, but he felt his sleeve tighten.
Li Yunrong shook her head at Chu You, her voice a little hoarse. “Your Highness, don’t…”
The water in her eyes deepened, and her face revealed obvious hurt and helplessness, but she was very calm in her heart.
She and Kang Wang didn’t really come here to return home. They just found a dignified excuse.
Soon, their goal for this trip had been achieved.
Chu You understood what Li Yunrong meant, but he was still furious. How could he tolerate his woman being disrespected under his nose!
Li Yunrong shook her head at him again.
Chu You said with a restrained and pained voice, “Rong’er, let’s go back.”
He turned around and stopped looking at Gu Yuan. He looked at Li Yunrong with deep love in his eyes, and comfort and gentleness were in his every move.
Li Yunrong held Chu You’s hand and got into the red carriage. Chu You didn’t get on the horse, but got into the carriage with Li Yunrong.
After the car door closed, the car darkened a little, and it was abnormally quiet.
In the next moment, Li Yunrong’s expression changed. She no longer had her previous weak appearance. Her expression was calm, and her eyes were deep, as if she was in deep thought.
Chu You domineeringly pulled Li Yunrong’s slender body into his arms, wishing he could squeeze her into his body.
He lowered his head and whispered softly into her exquisite, jade-like ear, comforting her in all ways. “Rong’er, it’s been hard on you because of me.”
Li Yunrong smiled. “I’m fine.”
Before she came, she knew that she would be treated coldly and targeted. It was just a superficial exchange of words. It was nothing.
Li Yunrong smiled brightly, but Chu You’s heart ached even more. He said gently again, “Rong’er, don’t care about Gu Yuan. He’s so heartless to you. It’s not worth you taking it to heart.”
“You have me.”
With him, his Rong’er didn’t need anyone else!
Chu You lowered his head and kissed her full, soft cherry lips warmly and greedily. Only when the carriage moved again did he reluctantly let go of her, the tip of his nose touching hers lingeringly.
Li Yunrong’s lips were a little swollen from his kiss. Her eyes were shining, charming, and moving.
She smiled at him gently, and the unhappiness she felt because of Gu Yuan completely disappeared.
What else didn’t she understand about his feelings for her?
Li Yunrong grabbed his hand with one hand and intertwined her fingers with his. She raised her small chin and kissed the corners of his lips.
The two of them looked at each other warmly.
The carriage quickly turned, and their bodies swayed slightly.
Li Yunrong’s expression turned serious as she said with a little worry, “Your Highness, Baili Yin actually didn’t attack.”
“I really overestimated him.” Chu You’s lips curled into a cold smile, and a sinister cold light flickered in his eyes.
Ever since Baili Yin arrived in the capital last year, Chu You had tested him a few times in the past few months. Both parties were wary of each other and went back and forth. Finally, they explained clearly what happened in Danyang City and made Baili Yin believe that he definitely didn’t do those things.
At this point, the two of them could almost confirm that the incident in Danyang City was caused by Chu Yi. Not only did he eliminate the hidden pillars of the State of Yue in Danyang City, but he also killed two birds with one stone to sow discord between Chu You and the State of Yue..
