Chapter 1148 (Cunning)
He couldn't go out. If news of this reached his elder brother, and he met Yi Yi again, then all his efforts would be in vain.
But he really wanted to go out, to see Yi Yi, to hold her tightly and say, "I miss you so much. My marriage to Gong Yue is for you. As long as you're alive, I can do anything."
"Ye Ye..." Yi Yi called again. Why was Ye Ye ignoring her? 'Even if you didn't come, I came, but you closed the door?'
Could it be that he really didn't like her anymore? No, Ye Ye likes her, he said it...
Ye Juetian heard Yi Yi's call, and impulsive signals surged through his brain – rush out! Embrace the woman he loves and tell her his feelings!
But reason told Ye Juetian about the consequences of rushing out, and they were extremely severe.
Wedding invitations had already been sent. If anything went wrong now, it would not only shame his elder brother but also disgrace the entire Voidless Empire. It wasn't just his brother who would be embarrassed; everyone would be affected.
"Juetian, don't act impulsively. Do you want to harm Yi Yi?" Gong Yue sternly warned, preventing the reunion of the two.
Ye Juetian stopped, defeated by reality.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Ye Juetian muttered, realising his own uselessness. He didn't dare open the door, as if the weight of the door was something he couldn't overcome.
Gong Yue bit her lip tightly. "You must quickly get Yi Yi back. If Yi Yi is discovered, it will be even more dangerous!"
Ye Juetian felt Gong Yue was right. Yi Yi could only stay obediently in the firewood room to ensure her safety.
"Ye Ye..." Yi Yi called for the third time, each time sounding more desolate.
"Yi Yi," Ye Juetian called her name.
Yi Yi, standing outside, felt a moment of joy. It seemed like she wanted to rush up the steps, push open the door, and then embrace Ye Ye tightly.
'Whatever you did before, I don't care. Just talk to me, don't ignore me.'
However, Ye Juetian said in a low voice, "Don't move!"
Yi Yi, who had raised her foot, stopped, looking at the double doors above, and the silhouette.
Ye Ye was right there, and the figure next to him should be Gong Yue.
Yi Yi was about to speak when Ye Juetian said, "Yi Yi, go back. Don't come again."
Yi Yi, with a face full of joy, suddenly felt dumbfounded. Her whole body trembled, feeling a ringing in her ears. Ye Ye actually told her to leave? How was that possible!
"Ye Ye, I came to see you. It's me, Yi Yi. Can you come out?" Yi Yi forced a smile and said towards the silhouette. This smile shattered hearts, at least Ye Zizi, who stood not far away, felt very uncomfortable.
Ye Juetian tightly clenched his fists, while Gong Yue held Ye Juetian's hand, preventing him from rushing out.
"Go back, stay in the firewood room." Ye Juetian said in a low voice.
Yi Yi was puzzled. Why did she come, and he still didn't want to look at her even once?
"Ye Ye, do you not like me anymore?" Yi Yi asked with a poignant tone. At this moment, the cold wind whistled, making Yi Yi's figure appear so fragile and delicate.
Ye Zizi gently waved her hand to block the cold wind.
Ye Juetian's face showed a struggle. 'Fool... how could I not like you? If you live well, I will continue to like you. If you die, who will I like?'
"Yi Yi, I do like you."
"Then why don't you want to come out and see me?"
"Yi Yi, go back. It's not safe for you now!" Ye Juetian said in a low voice. There were too many eyes in the palace. If news of this reached his elder brother, it would be troublesome.
Yi Yi didn't cry or make a scene. She just looked at the two figures in the room, feeling heartbroken.
He said he liked her but was unwilling to see her. Was this really liking?
This was not love; this kind of liking had lost its meaning.
'You want me to go back to the firewood room, then I will go back.' Yi Yi chose to listen to him, even if he didn't like her anymore.
With disappointment, Yi Yi turned.
Gong Yue breathed a sigh of relief. This annoying woman almost made them meet! Fortunately, Ye Juetian didn't rush out!
No! This Yi Yi must not survive; she would never have peace as long as she lived!
A solution must be found!
"Juetian, things will get better in the future. As long as Mother's illness improves, Big Brother won't blame Yi Yi. Then, we can plead with him, and Yi Yi will be fine," Gong Yue comforted carefully, playing the role of a kind-hearted woman.
Ye Juetian felt Gong Yue was right. Once Mother's illness improved, Big Brother's hostility towards Yi Yi should lessen a bit.
"Gong Yue, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do," Ye Juetian sincerely thanked her.
Gong Yue smiled softly, "Juetian, do we still need to be so polite between us?"
Ye Juetian seemed unnatural after hearing this. He and Gong Yue had already become intimate, becoming husband and wife...
He just hoped that time would pass quickly.
A cold light flashed in Gong Yue's eyes, as if she had already made up her mind!
On the other side, Ye Zizi led Yi Yi back to the firewood room.
"It's okay. I'll listen to what Ye Ye says and stay here." Yi Yi forced a happy smile, but who knew how much pain she felt inside.
Ye Zizi didn't say anything and took out a lollipop.
"I haven't finished the one you gave me last time." Yi Yi showed the lollipop to Ye Zizi.
Ye Zizi didn't expect Yi Yi to eat lollipops like this and was speechless.
"Thank you for today. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know," Yi Yi thanked Ye Zizi. There were still good people in the palace.
Ye Zizi never expected that someone would call her a good person.
Ye Zizi chuckled lightly, "If I can't solve it myself, what use do you have?"
"Well, I'll leave first," Ye Zizi said indifferently. Without waiting for Yi Yi to respond, she disappeared on the spot.
Watching Ye Zizi leave, Yi Yi slowly sat on the bed, looking at the flickering oil lamp.
Even if she just heard Ye Ye's voice, saying that he likes her, that's enough for now.
Yi Yi is currently in a state of self-hypnosis, preferring to believe that Ye Juetian likes her rather than considering anything else.
Yi Yi sat for a very long time, pondering for a considerable amount of time.
"Yi Yi." A voice suddenly sounded.
Yi Yi looked towards a corner of the room, exclaiming, "Gong Yue."
"Gong Yue."
Gong Yue approached and gently hugged Yi Yi.
Yi Yi showed a touch of emotion, hugging Gong Yue tightly. However, Gong Yue's gaze was not filled with emotion but rather hinted at a sinister meaning.
"Yi Yi, it's okay. Everything will be fine in the future," Gong Yue comforted softly. If possible, she could make Yi Yi meet a tragic end right now. However, killing Yi Yi would surely attract the attention of the Emperor, and it would be more trouble than it's worth.
Yi Yi couldn't stand other people's comfort. At this moment, she couldn't hold back anymore, and tears poured down like rain.
