Chapter 1322: I Belong to You

aw a clear line between them.At this thought, his agitated heart calmed somewhat.He was at it again, indulging in his self-deceived fancies.Ye Er instructed his subordinates to hand him the box, and t...Xiaoqin was not a fool. After hearing what Ye Er said, her first thought was that Hua Guifei might have betrayed the Beijiang princess

No, she had to go to the Northern Xinjiang Prince's Mansion and speak to the Princess about this.

Thinking about this, Xiaoqin immediately thought of the matter. Treachery seemed serious to her. What if what Ye Er said was true, and someone trusted by the Princess had ill intentions What if that person turned around and schemed against the Princess

The more Yue Xiqin thought about it, the less she could remain calm. She immediately slammed her hand on the table, startling Ye Er with her agitated demeanor.

"No, no, the Northern Border Princess must not know about this. I have to tell her, whether it's the person in the palace or the Western Regions expert lurking outside the manor."

Having said that, she didn't have time to say anything else to Ye Er. She turned around and was about to leave, but because her movement was too hasty, her right foot tripped over the corner of a chair by her side.

In her panic, she lost her balance instantly and her body swayed straight towards the floor.

Xiaoqin was instantly startled and let out an "ah!" She instinctively reached out to grab onto something.

When Ye Er saw her being tripped and about to fall, he immediately reached out to pull her up. However, his body hadn't fully recovered yet, so he couldn't exert too much strength.

He did indeed grab Xiaqin's wrist, but instead of steadying her, he ended up being pulled down to the ground with her.

As the two were about to fall to the ground, Ye Er seemed to find some strength out of nowhere, swiftly changing their and Xiaoqin's direction.

He had a close encounter with the ground, but Xiaoqin was there to meet him. He wasn't exactly built like a tank, but it was certainly better than hitting the floor directly.

Ye Er was already weak, this sudden change nearly made him faint.

He was still rational and watched anxiously the person who had fallen on him. Seeing her dazed expression, he thought she might be injured. He ignored the pain in his own back and looked at Xiaoqin with concern, "Xiaoqin, are you alright Are you hurt anywhere"

Ye Er once again blurted out "Qin'er", instantly bringing Xiao Qin back to her senses. Her mind was a haze, but she still quickly shook her head and replied, "No... it's nothing, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she propped herself up on his chest with both hands and suddenly sat up. Before Ye Er could react, she got off him.

Xiao Qin's getting up was caught by the eyes of her subordinates and maids who just pushed the door open.

Ye Er's subordinate and Xiao Qin's maid, who were guarding outside, also heard Xiao Qin's scream. The two were worried that something might have happened inside, so they acted on their own accord and pushed the door open. However, obviously, neither of them expected to see such a scene after pushing the door in.

Both of them looked surprised, but quickly regained their composure. They exchanged glances and then simultaneously said, "Excuse us."

After that, the two of them logged out simultaneously.

The understanding between them was as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.

Xiaoqin's maidservant wasn't worried about her mistress at all because she saw the person above was her mistress.

And to her, that Lord Ye seemed so frail and weak, she thought he wouldn't stand a chance against her own county lord.

Besides, the way our young mistress got up just now, coupled with that extremely apologetic expression, makes it clear that our young mistress was the one who was forced into a difficult position.

So she doesn't really have much to worry about.

The subordinate Ye Er had was actually worried about the well-being of his master, Ye, but the moment he entered the room, he was warned by his master with a look.

So he worried again, and could only wait outside.

The door to the private room was closed again. Xiaoqin felt embarrassed, but when her evasive gaze landed on Ye Er's face, she saw a flash of pain in his expression, and the sweat on his forehead. In an instant, all her embarrassment vanished.

She didn't care about anything else, and immediately bent down to help Ye Er up. "You... are you alright Your face looks very bad, are you hurt Where are you hurt"

Her worry was genuine, and Ye Er even wished she could suffer more like this.

But he would also inadvertently reveal feelings that should never be revealed in this lifetime, shaking his head and saying, “I’m fine.”

But your face... there's not a trace of color, how could you be alright

"My lady, you needn't worry. I've always been delicate, and my complexion has always been like this."

"......Xiaoqin wanted to say that she wasn't blind. Before he fell, she could see what kind of expression he had, it was definitely even more rosy than it is now."

So he must have been injured by that fall just now.

She wanted to speak, but Ye Er beat her to it. "The matter of Hua Gui Fei and the western warriors does need to be told to the Northern Border Princess," he said, "but you can't just go to the Northern Border Prince's Residence like this."

As expected, Ye Er’s change of topic instantly diverted Xiao Qin’s attention. She frowned and said, “Why can’t I go to the Bei Jiang Wangfu”

"With so many people watching outside the Beijiang Wangfu, wouldn't you be announcing to them that you and the North Jiang princess are close, or that your Anle Hou Mansion has an unusual relationship with the Beijiang Wangfu"

"Never mind the other people's motives, just think about the emperor. He has been trying every means to deal with the Princess of Beijang. If he thinks you have a connection with the Princess of Beijang and wants to take action against you to lure her out, what will happen then"

Xiao Qin had now calmed down somewhat, she gritted her teeth, "By then, if the princess genuinely wished to save me, she would inevitably fall into the emperor's trap."

Ye Er nodded slightly, "Therefore, to protect yourself and to avoid causing trouble for the Princess of Beijang, it's best that you, as well as the Anle Houfu, have no connection with the Prince of Beijang's mansion at this crucial moment."

She understood this point, but she was still worried. "But those people from the Western Regions are lurking outside the Beijang Wangfu. We must tell the Princess so that she and the others in the Wangfu can have a countermeasure."

"You needn't worry about this, leave it to me. Within an hour, I'll find a way to get the message to the Princess of Beijiang."

"You"

Xia Qin's eyes were full of suspicion. Wasn't this Ye Er someone from the Emperor's side

Ye Er understood the look in her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, "I've told you so much, and you still think I'm on the Emperor's side"

"Who are you"

Hearing Xiaoqin's question blurted out, Ye Er looked at her eyes that seemed to grow deeper and deeper. If he had to say who he belonged to, it could only be hers.

But such an idea vanished in a flash. He curled his lips into a faint smile that eluded Xiao Qin's understanding, and said softly:

"I belong to no one. You only need to know that the Northern Border Princess saved my life, and I will not stand idly by when something happens to her." it was time for Xiao Qin to give back to her family.That's what she was thinking, so her gaze at Xiaoqin was filled with conviction.Xia Qin glanced at her father, then looked at her mother. She thoug...
