To show that she was deeply grateful to Prince Yi, and at the same time, she also indirectly admitted her identity.
Prince Yi suddenly smiled and put his elbow on his forehead. His white jade-like fingers slid across the collar of his ink-black robe. His voice was very pleasant to hear but cold to the bone.
"Now it should be counted as twice!"
This was not a question, but an affirmation. He was telling Ning Xueyan with certainty that he had helped her twice now. Whether she admitted it or not, he thought it was right. Everything was up to him!
What kind of help did a person like him need? Maybe he would use her life to pay for it!
Ning Xueyan's hands unconsciously trembled under her sleeves. She unconsciously swallowed. The opposite pair of calm but treacherous eyes seemed to be focused on her. Like a very sharp sword, it opened her delicate skin inch by inch and pierced into her slender neck.
It made people feel terrified!
She calmed herself down and suppressed the fear in her heart. She raised her head and looked straight into that pair of extremely beautiful but extremely cold eyes. "Your Highness, if you didn't call me here this time, the Third Prince would have been waiting for me here and let me go."
She meant that she was not convinced! If she hadn't been caught by him, she would have been out of danger now. Now he caught her and then let her go. Could this also be counted as a favor to him?
How could he threaten people!
Looking at her cherry lips that were almost pale and colorless from biting, and then looking at the stubbornness in Mo Yu's eyes. It was obvious that she was hurt badly, but she still dared to oppose him. His lips slightly curved.
That pair of jade-like hands coldly reached over and stopped in front of her. He lifted her sharp chin and stared into her dark jade-like eyes. Suddenly, he sneered meaningfully and said, "There will be no next time!"
Facing Ning Xueyan's beautiful and cold face, there was a cold and bloodthirsty killing intent …
This was not a compromise, but a warning …
"Yes … There will be no next time." Ning Xueyan looked at him, trying hard to maintain her composure under his powerful and cold aura. Although she paused, there was no obvious gap in time. Such an extremely handsome man's gaze only made her feel cold and frightened.
"If there's a next time …" Prince Yi didn't finish his words. His hand slid down from her chin to her slender neck. His slender fingers were like a sword dipped in poison, so cold and gloomy, as if he could take her life with just a little more force.
Seeing her pupils suddenly widen, a smile finally appeared on that cold and gloomy face …
Then he let go of her and waved his hand, gesturing for her to leave.
Looking at the large group of people entering the Cold Light Temple, Ning Xueyan finally felt alive again. Although she looked calm just now, only she knew that her back was already soaked in cold sweat. At this moment, with the wind blowing, it became even colder. She had no doubt that the hand that landed on her neck would instantly take her life!
Just now, she clearly felt that Prince Yi wanted to kill her!
If she hadn't meekly followed his words and was willing to bear the promise after he helped her twice, she might have been dead now.
Prince Yi, Ao Chenyi, was unfathomable! And he was cold-blooded and ruthless!
She needed to be more careful!
After being reborn, she understood the importance of life more clearly. There was still a great hatred to be avenged and Madam Ling couldn't be defeated so easily. So she didn't want to die without knowing why. Or she could only take revenge with the help of this powerful Prince Yi.
But as soon as this idea appeared in her mind, it was slapped away!
She wouldn't want to take advantage of Prince Yi's power unless she wanted to die! She was afraid that she would be killed by him before she could take advantage of his power.
Ten Miles Pavilion outside the city was the main road between the border and the capital city. It was still early when Ning Xueyan arrived. There was usually no one in the lonely pavilion. Ning Xueyan found it was still early and the time sent by Mother Han was still a little early, so she sat down on one side.
Not long after she sat down, a carriage slowly came over. There was no sign on the carriage, but from the number of maids and old maids standing on both sides, it could be seen that the people in the carriage were either rich or noble. The carriage stopped. A handsome young man got off the horse following the carriage. He glanced at Ning Xueyan coldly and turned to the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted. First, an old maid and a maid jumped off. Then, holding the young man's hand, a noblewoman in her thirties came out of the carriage and got off. She looked up at the sky and said nothing. Then, she held the young man's hand and walked inside.
"Madam, Young Master, there are people inside!" An old maid came to arrange the table first. Seeing that Ning Xueyan occupied the only stone table in the pavilion, she went back to report. She didn't drive her away directly when she saw that she was just a manservant like other officials did! Because of this, Ning Xueyan had a good impression of them.
"Go and ask if you can make way!" Before the gentle Madam said anything, the handsome young man looked at Ning Xueyan and said impatiently.
This was also the reason. No matter how polite others were, they would not share a table with a servant. Ning Xueyan was now dressed as a manservant. Even if they didn't ask, Ning Xueyan would make way. She couldn't let others doubt her identity as a manservant.
"Young man, can you make way?" The old maid came over and asked politely.
Ning Xueyan nodded, got up and sat on the railing of the pavilion.
The servants spread brocade on the stone bench. The Madam and the young man sat down. The maids served tea. It seemed that they were also waiting for someone. Several old maids went to the intersection in front to guard. The Madam waved her hand, and the other servants all left, leaving the Madam and the young man in the pavilion.
"Which family's manservant are you? Are you waiting for someone here today? " The gentle Madam sat down and took two sips of tea. She looked at Ning Xueyan and asked curiously. It was rare that the master didn't come. It was rare for a manservant to come.
"I'm from the Lord Protector's Manor. I'm here to wait for my uncle." Ning Xueyan stood up and answered in a clear voice. This matter couldn't be hidden. Her uncle would arrive soon. Hiding would make people suspicious!
Madam Ming was Ning Zu 'an's wife. Her brother was certainly the uncle of the Lord Protector's Manor.
The handsome young man sitting on the side became more and more serious. He snorted coldly. Ning Xueyan didn't know what she had done to annoy him. Why did he look so disgusted? What an awkward person!
"From the Lord Protector's Manor? Your Lord Protector sent someone to pick up your uncle? "The Madam was surprised, but she still asked gently.
"Not our Lord Protector. It's our Fifth Young Lady. Our Fifth Young Lady heard that her uncle was going to the capital today, so she asked me to wait here." Ning Xueyan smiled faintly. Although she was still wearing the clothes of a manservant, her pair of black jade-like eyes and exquisite facial features could make people's eyes light up.
Even the handsome young man, who turned his head and looked at her impatiently, couldn't help but turn back and look at her a few more times.
"Is your Fifth Young Lady still in the Cold Mountain Temple?" The Madam frowned and looked carefully at Ning Xueyan's delicate but pale face. A trace of incomprehensible deepness flashed in her eyes, but her tone was calm.
Although Ning Xueyan keenly felt that the Madam in front of her paid too much attention to her, she inexplicably had a good impression of the Madam in front of her, so she didn't hide it.
"Our Fifth Young Lady is now living in the Cold Mountain Temple. She heard that her uncle is going to the capital today, so she asked me to pick him up."
"Aren't your girls very capable? Now you know how to retreat in order to advance. What have you been doing before? You can't even protect your mother. You're so useless! " The beautiful young man interrupted the Madam's words and glared at Ning Xueyan with hatred, as if Ning Xueyan had committed a heinous crime. Ning Xueyan didn't understand for a while and looked at him in astonishment.
"Hua 'er, don't be rude!"
"Mother, I'm right again. I heard that the Fifth Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor is an incompetent person. But look at her now. She even knows how to avoid her opponent's sharp edge. She is obviously a smart person. She can't even protect her mother. How dare she come to ask for help?"
The handsome young man waved his hand angrily as if he had exploded with anger in his eyes.
Ning Xueyan really didn't know what was going on with this person. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out how she had offended him. There was no such person in her memory, so she didn't dare to offend him. However, this person treated her like an enemy.
"Hua 'er, if you do this again, you will talk to your father later." The Madam's face darkened when she saw her son's words coming out of his mouth again and again.
Ning Xueyan didn't understand the meaning of his words, but the handsome young man obviously did. Not only did he understand, but he also obediently shut up. But he looked at Ning Xueyan with indignation in his eyes. If Ning Xueyan wasn't Ning Xueyan, she would definitely think that she had done something infuriating to the handsome young man and offended him.
"The Fifth Young Lady asked you to take her to the Cold Mountain Temple?" The Madam lowered her eyes and then looked up with a gentle smile again.
"The Fifth Young Lady has something to say to my uncle, so she asked me to send a message." Ning Xueyan's eyes flickered and she said with a smile. Of course, she couldn't wait here openly with Ning Xueyan's real identity. Otherwise, Madam Ling would definitely find out. Then her uncle and she would be more passive in what they wanted to do in the future.
"Does the Fifth Young Lady know that she has an aunt in the capital?" The Madam sighed and looked at Ning Xueyan gently with a little more obscure in her eyes.
Aunt? Ning Xueyan was really surprised. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the noble Madam in front of her in astonishment. The gentle smile, gentle and loving eyes, and the faint smile on her lips all showed that the Madam in front of her should be her aunt!
It was said that her uncle had been at the border for more than ten years and hadn't returned to the capital for more than ten years. How could her aunt still be in the capital?
Madam Ming had never told Ning Xueyan about her uncle and aunt. If Mother Han hadn't mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have known that she had an uncle who loved her. She took it for granted that since her uncle hadn't been there for many years and she didn't see anyone in the Lord Protector's Manor looking for her mother, she must have gone to the border.
