Having thought it over, she slightly curled her lips at the man in front of her and replied, "Oh, then I really have to thank the Second Prince!"
Even though she was extremely disgusted inside, she could still look calm on the surface.
Ye paused his tea - drinking when he saw her like this. Curiosity welled up in his heart.
Since he met her in the harem last time, he had realized her extraordinariness. Now he could feel her specialness even more.
This woman was not only fearless, but also gave him such an interesting feeling, which was completely different from the women he had met before. Thinking of this, the curiosity in his eyes deepened.
Then he stood up and took two steps in one to reach her. Staring intently at the woman in front of him, he said, "Your Majesty the Empress has great courage."
After saying that, he curled his lips, leaned forward, and with a stretch of his hand, pulled her into his arms. Their faces were only a hair's breadth apart.
Dongfang Yi's heart raced when she saw the suddenly magnified face in front of her, but she dared not show the slightest bit of fear.
"If you dare to touch me, he won't let you off," she warned fiercely.
Ye's smile deepened after hearing this. He raised his hand to stroke her bangs and then said, "Do you really think he will care about your life or death?
"He is probably having an affair with my beautiful younger sister now."
After saying that, he sneered a few times as if mocking her ignorance.
But Dongfang Yi was not disturbed by his words at all. Instead, she continued to threaten, "You dare!"
Ye, as if being challenged, pushed her onto the bed with a shove.
The pain when her back hit the bed made her cry out involuntarily. She instinctively turned to the side.
But Ye didn't give her any chance. He pressed himself on top of her, covering her whole body.
He could clearly smell the fragrance from the woman beneath him and see the slight tremble of her eyelashes when she squinted due to the pain.
Undoubtedly, she was a beautiful woman. But unlike Yaoji, whose beauty was flamboyant, hers was more comforting.
Ye seemed to be bewitched and kissed her.
Dongfang Yi felt his head buried in her neck, and a wave of nausea welled up in her throat. This feeling made her instantly furious.
"Get off!"
But how could Ye stop? He originally just wanted to scare her, but the feeling of the kiss was unexpectedly good, making him unable to stop.
It would be better to take her. Anyway, she was going to die. He thought so. He hadn't met a woman who made him so eager for a long time.
Then he leaned in and tried to kiss her lips.
But he heard the woman beneath him give a soft snort, and then said sinisterly,
"If you move any further, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself right away!"
Her tone, as if her heart was dead, made Ye stunned for a moment. He stopped his action and propped himself up, staring intently at the woman beneath him.
Her eyes were filled with killing intent. She knew clearly that she couldn't kill him, but she was convinced that she could commit suicide.
A strange feeling entangled in Ye's heart. Then he stood up. After calming his desire, he turned around and said, "I still have use for your life. Don't do anything to anger me."
He didn't expect that he would lose control just now. If it weren't for the woman's threat, he might have carried it all the way through.
When had he ever been in such a situation, being so out of control with a woman?
Thinking of this, annoyance rose in his heart. It was hard for him to curl his lips into a smile again. Then he turned around and walked out of the room. Before leaving, he left a deep - voiced warning, "Stay here obediently!"
Then he locked the door.
After the footsteps outside the room completely disappeared, Dongfang Yi let out a long sigh of relief and slightly relaxed her highly - tense nerves.
She raised her hand and rubbed vigorously the place where he had offended her just now, but she couldn't stop the nausea. She could only comfort herself in her heart that it was just like being bitten by a dog.
Then she looked around the room. The door of the room was firmly locked from the outside. Without a key, it was definitely impossible to escape through the door.
Then she stood on a stool and knocked on the window. The dull sound told her that the window was sealed both inside and outside. It was completely impossible to break through the window and escape.
After thinking it over, she knew that it was basically impossible for her to escape on her own. So she could only wait for someone to come and rescue her.
Then she thought of that man. Although she didn't agree with Ye's words just now, a slight sense of discomfort still rose in her heart.
The two of them had basically confessed their feelings to each other. So she believed that Helian Qi would definitely come to rescue her.
Thinking of this, the stone in her heart settled a little. Due to the wound and fatigue, her head felt a bit heavy. So she fell asleep uneasily.
I don't know how long it had passed. A noisy sound came from outside the room. She was immediately woken up.
There was no light in the room, but she could still tell from the noise outside that it must be dawn.
Moreover, there were still some voices outside. So she tiptoed over and put her ear against the door to listen.
There were two men outside. Presumably, they were sent by Ye to monitor her.
They were whispering to each other. She could faintly hear words like "dead", "on the city wall", "Empress", "Your Majesty".
Could someone in the palace be dead?! She thought so. Then she heard a sound of footsteps outside. The two men immediately stopped talking.
Dongfang Yi quickly ran back to the bed and pretended to be asleep.
Then she heard the door being pushed open. The man walked to the bedside.
"Don't pretend to be asleep! The breathing of a sleeping person won't be so chaotic." Ye said. With just one sentence, he exposed the fact that she was pretending to be asleep.
Experts were like this. They could judge a person's state just by their breathing.
Dongfang Yi had no choice but to open her eyes reluctantly. What came into view was Ye standing in front of the bed.
His face seemed a bit strange today. All his usual arrogance and confidence were gone. If you looked closely, you could even find a slight look of fatigue on his face.
Something unexpected must have happened, Dongfang Yi thought. Then a feeling of excitement rose in her heart. If something happened to him, it would be her lucky chance.
Thinking of this, she pretended not to know anything and asked, "Did something happen outside?"
Subconsciously, she felt that this must have something to do with what the two men outside the room said just now.
