Chapter 285 Head-to-head confrontation
Xin Moyan couldn't help but feel bewildered. What distinguished guest could be more important than Sister Ruoyu?
However, watching that red figure disappear into the distance, she felt that another opportunity had come...
"Yan'er, come here quickly."
Yao Ruoyu quickly sat up in bed and waved to her.
"Sister Ruoyu, I'm sorry, I forgot there were guards at the door."
Yao Ruoyu smiled warmly at her, "It's alright, this is good too, I can finally lie down and have a few days of peace."
"Sister Ruoyu, I don't know where he went, but since Ye Wumian isn't here right now, maybe you can cooperate with me again, otherwise I really won't be able to find an opportunity."
Meeting that intense gaze, Yao Ruoyu understood. "Yan'er, will I experience severe abdominal pain again later?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Xin Moyan nodded hurriedly; talking to smart people was so easy.
"Hehe~ Good! Yan'er, I hope you can succeed this time."
"Sister Ruoyu, are you really alright? I'm so worried about you!"
"It's alright. As you said, if he truly loves me, he won't make things difficult for me."
Yao Ruoyu patted the back of her hand and gave Xin Moyan a comforting look.
After hesitating for a long time, she still said, "Sister Ruoyu, I can tell that Ye Wumian... likes you quite a bit. If you really don't love him, or even hate him, but you say you don't want to leave, then for the sake of the child, you should just bear with it. It's not good to always be cold to him. You saw how much he was happy when you softened a little bit just now. I don't want you to always be bullied by him."
Yao Ruoyu paused for a moment, then touched her face with a look of great relief in her eyes. "I understand, Yan'er. Thank you. Although I haven't known you for long, I am content. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to spend more time with you."
Xin Moyan smiled brightly, "Sister Ruoyu, it's a pleasure to meet you too. However, we can talk about other things another day. We need to hurry up and get going, or Ye Wumian will be coming over."
After saying that, she hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door, but Yao Ruoyu grabbed her arm.
"what's wrong?"
"Yan'er, do you remember how to get to the Imperial Garden?"
"Hmm." Xin Moyan nodded in confusion.
Yao Ruoyu pulled her a little closer and whispered, "When you leave, remember to walk in the dark, unlit areas. Just go to the Imperial Garden. Behind the 'Rainy Drunkenness' area, there is an Imperial River. It's a cold, gloomy place where hardly anyone goes. Walk straight along the river to the end, and you'll find a low wall. Find a way to climb over it, and you'll be out of the palace."
"Sister Ruoyu, how do you know so much?"
She ruffled Xin Moyan's hair, her smile excessively gentle, "I already knew this a few months ago."
This……
Xin Moyan seemed to understand something, and a strange feeling welled up inside her...
"Sister Ruoyu, thank you. I will always remember you."
She stepped forward, gently hugged Yao Ruoyu, then quickly stood up, rushed to the door, and shouted.
"Oh no! Consort Yao has miscarried..."
This news startled the large group of palace servants guarding outside. Anyone could get into trouble, but Consort Yao and her unborn child could not!
Xin Moyan pretended to be terrified, acting flustered and helpless while directing the others.
"Go and fetch the imperial physician right away!" she said, pointing to the palace maids who had entered the room.
Those people also saw how much pain Consort Yao was in and hurriedly ran to the Imperial Hospital.
Xin Moyan rushed to the door, "What are you all standing there for? Consort Yao's miscarriage is such a serious matter, and you're not going to inform the King? Are you waiting to be beheaded? Quickly, get the King here!"
Upon hearing the word "beheading," the guards panicked and turned to run away, for the safety of the Imperial Concubine was of utmost importance.
Xin Moyan turned around, gave the woman inside a grateful look, and immediately turned to leave, heading towards the Imperial Garden as Yao Ruoyu had instructed...
At the same time, Ye Wumian, dressed in a blood-red robe that dragged casually on the ground, with bells ringing on his anklets, and red hair and eyes that exuded a sinister charm, walked with extreme nonchalance, yet his tall and upright figure had a touch of effeminate allure.
Barefoot, he strolled leisurely from the side of the hall to the throne at the very top, and lay down like a boneless cat, lifting his leg to rest on the imperial desk. The golden anklets shimmered and glittered in the candlelight.
He seemed not to see the man in black standing ramrod straight in the center of the hall, and squinted as if he were dozing off.
Xuan Yuan held his sword in his right hand, his face, which was radiant with light, remained completely expressionless, and his dark eyes were like torches, staring intently at the sky above.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, the long sword flashed with a cold light, shaking Ye Wumian's eyes, and he lazily opened them.
"Hehe~ I thought you would never see me again in this lifetime?"
Xuan Yuan remained silent, his lips pressed into a straight line, a hint of murderous intent hidden between his cold, handsome brows, his gaze as sinister as a sharp, cold blade, fixed on the red figure.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, his thin lips parting in a chilling tone, "Where is Yan'er?"
"Huh? Who is Yan'er?" Ye Wumian frowned, looking puzzled and confused.
"Sleepless night!"
Xuan Yuan suddenly shouted, his expression growing increasingly hostile.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you." Ye Wumian hooked his ear with his pinky finger, a sly glint in his eyes.
"I'll ask you one more time, where is Yan'er? If you don't hand her over tonight, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Hehehe~" Night Sleepless laughed even more blatantly.
"I truly do not know who Yan'er is. It's been years, but your threatening nature hasn't changed at all."
He spoke coldly, his voice like frost and snow in the dead of winter, "Hmph! Don't forget, my influence now extends throughout Nightfall. Whether I move or not is entirely up to me."
Ye Wumian sat up straight and said with a hint of teasing, "Then why don't you move!"
"I know that your power in Yelan is now unmatched. You are well-versed in all kinds of trade, big and small, as well as any information and intelligence. You can even prevent Bai Qing from transporting the most needed coal into Yelan with just one order."
"So, you shouldn't have made a move on Yan'er."
"Who is Yan'er? I really don't know her. However, since you're here, I've specially invited you to my wedding banquet tomorrow night."
Upon hearing the words "wedding," he recalled that Ye Wumian had recently failed in his attempt to marry Yan'er...
"Sleepless Night, are you really not going to hand over Yan'er?"
Sleepless Night decided to stop pretending and walked down the steps one by one. In the quiet space, only the tinkling sound of two anklets colliding with each other could be heard.
Upon approaching, the equally tall and imposing figures, coupled with the oppressive atmosphere and the contrast between black and red, created a strong visual impact.
"Do you... care about Xin Moyan a lot?"
"What are your conditions? Just release Yan'er."
"Oh? Conditions?"
