Ji Feiyu shot him a glare, then quickly tidied up her makeup and went to greet the visitor. Just then, Yong Yaxuan walked into the room.
"Why did it take you so long to come?" Ji Feiyu smiled flawlessly.
Yong Yaxuan glanced around her room and asked, "Where are your maids? Why aren't there any of them around..."
"They..." Ji Feiyu was trying to think of an explanation when she suddenly saw Hua Hudie about to walk out of the inner chamber. She quickly put her hands on Yong Yaxuan's shoulders and turned him around so that his back was to the inner chamber. Then she said, "Your Majesty, actually I..."
Yong Yaxuan was surprised by her sudden intimacy. Looking at her tenderly, he asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
By now, Hua Hudie had already walked out. Seeing this, Ji Feiyu quickly slid her hands down and gently hooked Yong Yaxuan's waist. Blushing, she lowered her head and said, "Actually, it was I who told the maids to leave. I wanted to have a chat with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, why don't you also tell the attendants outside to leave?"
Yong Yaxuan was a bit taken aback, but he still obediently dismissed the attendants who had come with him.
"Are you satisfied now?" Yong Yaxuan asked, looking down at her. His voice was deep and magnetic. He looked at her tenderly and slowly placed his hand on her waist.
Ji Feiyu looked up at him with a smile, then leaned her head on his shoulder and hugged him tightly. At the same time, she gently waved her hand, signaling Hua Hudie to leave quickly.
Hua Hudie just stood there, looking at Ji Feiyu with a half - amused and half - helpless expression.
Ji Feiyu continued to wave her hand. Yong Yaxuan was stunned by Ji Feiyu's sudden embrace. He laughed and asked, "What's going on? Why all of a sudden..."
Ji Feiyu lifted her face from his embrace and whispered, "Your Majesty, I've made up my mind..." Then she tiptoed and shyly leaned her neck on his shoulder. Still hugging him, she mouthed at Hua Hudie standing behind Yong Yaxuan, "Leave quickly!"
Yong Yaxuan was almost overwhelmed by her sudden tenderness. He couldn't help but feel elated. He hugged Ji Feiyu tightly and savored this beautiful moment.
Finally, Hua Hudie couldn't stand Ji Feiyu anymore. Shaking his head and sighing, he left.
Yong Yaxuan was extremely happy, but his reason told him that something was wrong. So he began to feel insecure. "What on earth is wrong with you? You've been acting strangely ever since you saw Lin Zhiran. And now... You're not sick, are you?" After saying that, he let go of Ji Feiyu and felt her forehead.
Ji Feiyu grabbed his hand and turned him around again, always making sure that Hua Hudie was behind him. Ji Feiyu said, "I'm fine." Then she looked at him with affectionate eyes, distracting Yong Yaxuan.
When she saw that Hua Hudie had completely left, she let out a sigh of relief. Gently letting go of Yong Yaxuan's hand, she said, "I just wanted to act coquettishly with Your Majesty. Doesn't Your Majesty like it?"
Looking at her charming and naive look, Yong Yaxuan's heart softened. He said gently, "Of course I like it. I like it very much... It's just that this doesn't seem like you..."
Ji Feiyu gave him a charming glare. Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Do you want to know why it doesn't seem like her? Come and ask me."
Hearing this voice, Ji Feiyu was instantly stunned. Yong Yaxuan turned around warily and looked towards the door. There, Hua Hudie swaggered in, looking very carefree.
"Who are you..." Yong Yaxuan's tone changed when he saw him.
Ji Feiyu quickly stepped forward to calm him down. "He's nobody. He's just nobody. Don't misunderstand!"
Hua Hudie laughed and said, "Why don't you recognize me after such a long time, Your Majesty? I was the one who took care of you when you were injured."
Ji Feiyu was so anxious that she almost jumped up. This guy was really courting death!
Yong Yaxuan finally remembered who this voice belonged to. Then he suddenly understood. "So it's you..."
Hua Hudie walked closer, wearing a fake smile. "If it's not me, then who else could it be?"
Yong Yaxuan immediately regained his calm. Playing with the idea, he said, "Brother Butterfly's disguise skills are really good. I wonder how many innocent girls you've deceived with this fake face?" Come to think of it, every time he saw Hua Hudie, he had a different face. It was normal that he didn't recognize Hua Hudie's real appearance.
Hua Hudie put away his smile and slightly raised his eyebrows. "This is my real self..."
Yong Yaxuan couldn't help but scoff. "Your real self is just so - so."
Hua Hudie said, "It may not be very good, but it's good enough. For example, Yu'er likes it." After saying that, he winked at Ji Feiyu.
Ji Feiyu instantly stiffened. She took a few deep breaths to suppress her inner sadness.
Hearing this, Yong Yaxuan snorted. "Which eye of yours saw that she likes you?"
Hua Hudie walked over leisurely and walked around to Ji Feiyu's side. But Yong Yaxuan blocked him. Sighing, he walked to the small window beside. "If she didn't like me, why would she go to so much trouble to get me into the palace? Otherwise, with the strict security of the palace, it wouldn't be so easy for me to get in."
After he said this, Yong Yaxuan laughed disdainfully. Ji Feiyu groaned in her heart. This was a blatant slander!
Just as Ji Feiyu was about to open her mouth to explain, Yong Yaxuan said to Hua Hudie, "Really? Then should I go out first and let you two catch up?"
Hua Hudie turned around and smiled. "No need. I'll leave quietly. I definitely won't let the news of my secretly meeting the emperor's wife spread in the palace. Because even if you don't care about your reputation, Yu'er does."
After saying that, Hua Hudie broke through the window and disappeared in front of Ji Feiyu and Yong Yaxuan in an instant.
Yong Yaxuan was extremely angry. His last words were clearly a provocation, a provocation to the laxity of the royal guards! He glared angrily at the place where Hua Hudie had left. Suddenly, he found Ji Feiyu tiptoeing away. Instantly turning around, he growled through gritted teeth, "Ji Feiyu!"
Ji Feiyu was so frightened by his voice that she took a step back. While backing away, she forced a laugh. "Your... Your Majesty, that... that really wasn't me who let him in!"
After saying that, Ji Feiyu was about to run. Yong Yaxuan was half - dead with anger. Of course, he knew that Ji Feiyu didn't let Hua Hudie in. After all, if Hua Hudie couldn't get in, how did he take Ji Feiyu away back then? Moreover, what he really cared about was not that Ji Feiyu met Hua Hudie, but that Ji Feiyu's previous intimacy with him was just a pretence! He had thought that she was sincere just now and was extremely happy...
"You..." Yong Yaxuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He took a quick step and grabbed Ji Feiyu into his arms. Ji Feiyu looked at him pitifully and aggrievedly. Yong Yaxuan felt even more aggrieved. He was disappointed, aggrieved, and sad. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "So you deliberately threw yourself into my arms just to send him out. You should know that if you didn't want to be intimate with me, you didn't have to do this! I don't want to be on bad terms with you in private while maintaining a false harmony on the surface. I also don't want you to do things you're not willing to do."
After saying that, he let go of her disappointedly. He had been too hopeful...
Yong Yaxuan, with slightly red eyes, was about to leave. But Ji Feiyu was stunned by his words. So this was what he really cared about? Looking at his sad back as he left, Ji Feiyu's heart suddenly ached. No, it wasn't like this! She quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not unwilling..."
