Chapter 47: Ye Yu: Returning with Severe Injuries
Before Ye Jiuge boarded the horse carriage, she turned around and said remorsefully to Wan Ziyang, “I apologize for being too impetuous and involving you in our conflict. As a result, you have offended the Crown Prince. I am truly sorry.”
In reality, Ye Jiuge did not feel apologetic in the slightest. Since she planned to make Wan Ziyang her ally, naturally, she needed to ensure that her enemies became his enemies as well.
“Implicated or not, it does not matter,” Wan Ziyang said and shook his head. In any case, he did not see eye to eye with the treacherous Crown Prince, who always executed grandiose deeds regardless of whether he was capable of achieving them successfully.
“However, when all is said and done, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. If he means to give you a hard time, I am afraid that you will be at a disadvantage.” Wan Ziyang was truly worried for Ye Jiuge.
“So what? It does not faze me that he is the Crown Prince. Even if he were the emperor, if he dares to provoke me, I will let him have it without any hesitation.” Ye Jiuge’s red lips curved. Her phoenix eyes were impenetrable. Her aura was inconspicuous, yet also similar to a raging inferno that one could not look at directly.
Wan Ziyang was astonished. He had an inexplicable feeling: this assertive Ye Jiuge was much more intriguing than those sweet and delicate ladies from noble houses.
“Be careful on your way back. If you encounter any problems, feel free to approach me.” Wan Ziyang used to dislike dealing with troublesome issues. However, he really wanted to help Ye Jiuge.
“Thank you very much.”
Ye Jiuge smiled and bade him farewell. As soon as she sat down in the horse carriage, Zi Shang’s chilly voice rang out beside her ear, “Don’t tell me that this brat has taken a liking to you.”
