It was finally her turn to look at him!
Even though they were so far apart, she recognized him at first glance.
In that instant, Han Yunxi wanted nothing more than to rush over and hug Long Fei Ye tightly. She wouldn't let go even if he chased her away.
Long Fei Ye finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night. He thought that he must have let this woman down in his past life, so he was destined to repay her in this life. He was willing to torment himself to this state for her.
He wanted nothing more than to fly over immediately and take her away without any explanation. He wanted to never let go of her hand and take her away from all these complicated matters. He wanted her to forget who she was and who the other party was.
Both of them were impulsive, but they were also very rational.
They had always been the same kind of people.
Long Fei Ye had Baili Yuanlong behind him, while Han Yunxi had Ning Cheng behind her. They were the main generals of their respective armies, the most loyal forces in their respective camps, and also the forces that hated each other the most.
Han Yunxi had paid a huge price, even swearing in the name of the princess of Western Qin, to win Ning Cheng's trust. Long Fei Ye, on the other hand, had put in a lot of effort, and with the help of Gu Beiyue's secret letter, Baili Yuanlong was willing to stop the war and accept negotiations.
They didn't know the hard work each other had put in these past few days, but like each other, they cherished this opportunity very much.
If this negotiation got off to a good start, it wouldn't be difficult for them to meet again. It might even be possible for them to meet alone.
The two of them stood motionless, looking at each other from afar. Under the tranquil moonlight, the entire world was quiet. It was as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world. It also seemed as if they had formed a world of their own, leaving everyone else outside.
But even though they were in the same world, they stood on opposite ends of their destinies. Between them was national enmity, family hatred, infatuation, and helplessness.
Finally, Han Yunxi couldn't take it anymore. She took a step forward and stepped onto the drawbridge. Long Fei Ye's heart immediately raced.
At this moment, Ning Cheng strode forward and said in a low voice, "Princess, be careful. I'll take you there."
The dilapidated suspension bridge was very dangerous. If she missed a step, she would fall into a bottomless abyss. How could Han Yunxi, who did not know martial arts, cross it?
"Pardon me, Princess."
Ning Cheng said in a low voice as he grabbed Han Yunxi's shoulder. In that instant, Long Fei Ye's eyes turned cold. The killing intent in his eyes was enough to tear Ning Cheng to pieces a hundred times over.
Finally, he could no longer remain calm. He suddenly soared into the air and flew towards Han Yunxi and the others aggressively. Before anyone could react, he landed in front of Han Yunxi and stared coldly at Han Yunxi's shoulder.
Ning Cheng immediately shielded Han Yunxi behind him. "Long Fei Ye, is this the sincerity of your negotiation? What do you mean by this? "
Long Fei Ye did not reply. He looked coldly at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi immediately retreated to one side and maintained a certain distance from Ning Cheng. Long Fei Ye was still staring at her with dissatisfaction. That gaze was as if he wanted to eat her up. Han Yunxi subconsciously lowered her head.
This scene was so familiar.
How many times in the past, as long as he frowned or lowered his eyes, she knew that she had made a mistake and angered him. Han Yunxi had a misconception. It was as if nothing had happened and they had returned to the past.
Long Fei Ye, ah, Long Fei Ye, what do you mean by this? And now, what right do you have to express your dissatisfaction with my actions?
Dissatisfaction was like an instinct of his.
Even in this situation where he needed to be careful, he could not control himself to show it.
It was just that he did not expect her to be the same as before. As long as he frowned or glared at her, she would be obedient, afraid, and as docile as a little rabbit.
Han Yunxi, ah, Han Yunxi, what do you mean by this? And now, shouldn't you hate me to the core? Why is she still so afraid of me?
Ning Cheng immediately saw the objection. Once again, he stood in front of Han Yunxi and blocked Long Fei Ye's line of sight with his own body. Coldly, he asked, "Long Fei Ye, if you continue to be rude to the princess, don't blame me for being rude!"
Was Long Fei Ye here to negotiate or to seek revenge? He was clearly the one who made use of Han Yunxi. What kind of attitude was this?
Ning Cheng used to admire Long Fei Ye very much. But now, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. If they didn't need to stop the fight, he would have already made his move.
Long Fei Ye finally looked straight at Ning Cheng and asked coldly, "Ning Cheng, what right do you have to speak to this crown prince? Since when did the Di Clan have the authority to speak on behalf of Western Qin's princess? "
Ning Cheng sneered, "This clan head disdains to talk nonsense with a despicable person who uses women like you. Long Fei Ye, you were the one who wanted to negotiate. Why … "
Before Ning Cheng could finish, Long Fei Ye raised his hand. The Shadow Guard flew to his side and placed a flat brocade box in his hand.
This was …
Ning Cheng and Han Yunxi were puzzled. Baili Yuanlong, who had chased after them, also didn't understand. His Highness had not mentioned this before they came to negotiate!
What was this?
It was also Han Yunxi's first time seeing this brocade box. It was very unfamiliar.
This thing looked a bit like a box used to store women's accessories and clothes. What was inside?
Under everyone's gaze, Long Fei Ye slowly opened the brocade box. When they saw what was inside, everyone sucked in a cold breath. Then, they all looked at Han Yunxi.
Lying quietly in the brocade box was none other than Han Yunxi's purple muslin dress that had been torn apart by Ning Cheng. This was the evidence of her being bullied. It was her humiliation as a woman!
Long Fei Ye lifted the muslin dress with one hand and looked at it with interest, a cold smile on his lips.
Ning Cheng's face immediately paled, while Han Yunxi's face turned crimson. In fact, not only was her face red, but even her eyes were red.
She never expected that after enduring for so long, hoping for so long, and being strong for so long, she would be humiliated like this.
Long Fei Ye, you're really, really considerate!
Han Yunxi looked at the man whom she was most familiar with. Her heart started to panic and was in a mess!
But Long Fei Ye didn't stop.
"Ning Cheng, the phoenix birthmark on her back, have you seen it clearly?" His voice seemed to come from the dark abyss under his feet. It was deep and cold, making one's hair stand on end.
"Is it you, Clan Head Ning, who would even humiliate your Mistress, or …."
Long Fei Ye seemed to be hesitating but still continued, "Or is she willing to let you see it!"
When his words fell, the entire crowd was silent. Ning Cheng's face turned white and then red. He even forgot to refute Long Fei Ye. He subconsciously turned back to look at Han Yunxi. He saw that Han Yunxi's eyes were as red as a rabbit's.
Ning Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something to her, but he didn't know what to say.
What negotiation? What stopping the war?
Long Fei Ye was here to humiliate the princess, wasn't he? He'd used the princess for so long, and now he was humiliating her like this. If this could be tolerated, what couldn't?
Ning Cheng was about to draw his sword when Han Yunxi suddenly rushed in front of Long Fei Ye and slapped him. "Long Fei Ye, even if I'm willing, it has nothing to do with you! Who are you to me? "
Slap!
The slap resounded through the quiet cliff.
The people behind Long Fei Ye all sucked in a cold breath. No one had expected something like this to happen before the negotiations had even begun.
Baili Yuanlong thought that the Tang siblings were probably overthinking things. How could His Highness the Crown Prince still have lingering feelings for this woman?
No matter how favored a woman was, she was worthless in the face of national enmity and family hatred!
"Impudent!"
Baili Yuanlong was the first to draw his sword, followed by Ning Cheng. He didn't budge an inch.
However, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi didn't move. Their eyes met, so close yet so far.
Long Fei Ye stroked his hot cheeks expressionlessly. He was about to hand the brocade box to the Shadow Guard when Han Yunxi said coldly, "Give it back to me!"
Before Long Fei Ye could say anything, Han Yunxi snatched it away without anyone noticing. In that instant, Long Fei Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He understood Han Yunxi too well, so he'd purposely angered her so that she could snatch the brocade box.
Only in this way would Ning Cheng not suspect or ask about the box.
The brocade box had a double layer, so he hoped this woman would be more meticulous and not let him take the first slap of his life for nothing.
Despite his heartache, he still avoided Han Yunxi's red eyes and said indifferently, "Alright, Western Qin princess, you've settled your grudges. It's time to talk business."
Business?
So none of this counted as business to him?
Han Yunxi's heart was about to break!
She thought she had enough courage to stay strong and calm to the end.
She'd always tried to convince herself that Long Fei Ye was only using the Western Qin princess, not her. That's why she still had a chance!
She'd always hoped that Long Fei Ye would still be her Long Fei Ye and His Highness if there was no enmity between them.
But who knew that she'd still be hurt all over when facing this man? Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Long Fei Ye, do you know how bitterly I waited for you to show up when Chu Xifeng put me under house arrest in Medical City? Do you know? You didn't come!
Long Fei Ye, do you know how terrified I was at Ning Cheng's rudeness? You weren't there!
Long Fei Ye, do you know how much I spent these past few days by Ning Cheng's side? Do you know how much effort I've put into enduring until now to see you? You actually humiliated me like this!
Long Fei Ye. Everyone saw the calm, rational, courageous, fearful, and even heartless Han Yunxi.
But … but how could he be like everyone else? How could he not see the bitter support behind my back and stupidly persevere?
Right now, Han Yunxi dearly wished she was the Western Qin princess, the real Western Qin princess. If that was the case, love and hate would be so simple. She wouldn't have to suffer so much anymore.
Long Fei Ye, I, Han Yunxi, can't afford to love you, but at least I can afford to hate you!
"I have nothing to talk about with you people!" Ning Cheng was so angry that his face had turned white.
The incident with the purple muslin dress had started because of him, so he had no way to refute it.
Actually, Ning An had asked him about it at least three times. Why had he been so rash back then to find Han Yunxi and check her birthmark himself?
If he'd sent a servant girl with him, or kidnapped Han Yunxi to check her birthmark, he wouldn't have ended up in such an awkward situation.
But who knew how excited he'd been when he found out about Han Yunxi's identity? Even he didn't know why he'd been so obsessed with Han Yunxi's acupuncture needles. It wasn't until he found out about Han Yunxi's identity that he understood.
All of the attachments were either love or hate, or both.
When he found out that the woman he loved and hated was actually his own master, and that he didn't have to be her enemy anymore and could be loyal to her for the rest of his life, how could he not lose his reason?
This was the thing he regretted the most in his heart, and the thing he didn't want to regret the most. The beauty he saw that night was branded in his mind like a poison that would plague him for the rest of his life.
"Princess, let's go!" Ning Cheng would rather face the Feng clan alone than let the princess suffer such humiliation.
