Chapter 27
Hei Yao was a little surprised to hear his master’s orders, but he still let her go.
Yun Qianyu’s body was so weak that she fell to the ground; she did not have any strength at all.
Xiao Yechen looked at her and could not help worrying. He crouched down beside her and asked, “Are you alright? Do you need a physician?”
Xiao Yechen had some sympathy for the woman with a mutilated face.
Yun Qianyu shook her head. She slowly turned around, looked at the door, and saw Xiao Jiuyuan coming slowly. He was graceful and charming. Even his simple actions seemed domineering and charming.

He stood in front of Yun Qianyu and said coldly and without emotion, “Speak.”
Yun Qianyu knew the meaning of Xiao Jiuyuan’s word. He was asking her why she had called his name.
This was an opportunity for her. If she could persuade Xiao Jiuyuan not to back away from the marriage, then she would be fine.
She could use the period of having the title of Li princess consort to gain power. In doing so, even if she and Xiao Jiuyuan canceled their engagement in the future, she would not be afraid of anyone.
That was why it was Yun Qianyu’s top priority to persuade Xiao Jiuyuan. Yun Qianyu took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Jiuyuan, and said, “Li Prince, Even though you are a prince, a person in a high position, a noble identity, a hero in the eyes of the people of Dong Li state, you have a fatal weakness. Everyone secretly says you are…”
Before Yun Qianyu could finish speaking, a person nearby quickly reached out his hand to cover her mouth. Then he said, “Do you want to die, girl? shut up, shut up quickly.”
Xiao Yechen stared at Yun Qianyu, afraid that the next moment his ninth imperial uncle would kill her.
No one in Dong Li state dared to mention the previous wives of Xiao Jiuyuan in front of him. She was daring, mentioning it in front of Xiao Jiuyuan.
Yun Qianyu’s mouth was covered, and she couldn’t speak at all. She was weak. Now with Xiao Yechen covering her mouth forcefully, not only could she not speak, but she also couldn’t breathe.
Yun Qianyu struggled to push Xiao Yechen’s hand away. Unfortunately, after a few tries, she had no more strength. At last, she had to gasp hard for air and stare at Xiao Yechen. Does this guy want to suffocate her?
Xiao Yechen didn’t know he was suffocating Yun Qianyu. After he scolded Yun Qianyu, he looked up at Xiao Jiuyuan and said quickly, “Ninth imperial uncle, don’t worry. She probably isn’t talking about what we thought about. It must not be.”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s whole body was covered with a cold and chilly aura, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
At that moment, he had the intent to kill. However, since she was looking for death, he thought that even if she died, he should let her finish what she wanted to say.
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Xiao Yechen’s hand that was covering Yu Qianyu’s mouth. This woman was about to be suffocated. If he didn’t say anything, would she be suffocated by Xiao Yechen?
“Xiao Yechen, are you going to suffocate her?”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s words stunned Xiao Yechen. He looked down quickly and saw that Yun Qianyu was breathless. She was glaring at him as if she would remember him even if she died.
Xiao Yechen immediately released his hand and said in embarrassment, “I didn’t intend to suffocate you. I just didn’t want you to say anything that annoyed my ninth imperial uncle.”
Yun Qianyu gasped hard for air and didn’t pay attention to Xiao Yechen. At present, her priority was to persuade Xiao Jiuyuan not to withdraw from the marriage. As long as Xiao Jiuyuan did not cancel the marriage, she would be alright. She would have the time to get stronger.
Yun Qianyu looked up at the man who looked down at her.
