Chapter 28: Inhumanity

Chou time three quarters
It's late at night, the moon is bright.

Yun Qianyi rested her head on his warm arm, her face against his delicate collarbone.

Why is she so unprincipled?
When those deep eyes look at you, emitting brilliant starlight under the bright moonlight, and the tenderness in the eyes spreads to the corners of the eyes, who can refuse?

Yun Qianyi could only indulge him.

Maybe it was because of the strong aftereffect of the wine, but her eyes were open the whole time and she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

"Qianqian, sleep peacefully with me here."

Jun Yanci naturally knew that the person in his arms had not fallen asleep yet, because Yun Qianyi's long eyelashes would sweep across his neck with just a blink of an eye. The slight itch was like a feather, but it made him feel inexplicably restless.

So, Jun Yanci gently placed his palm on the back of Yun Qianyi's head and gently stroked her hair again and again.

She wants to sleep too!
My nose was filled with his scent as fresh as cedar, and my ears were filled with his voice as soft as silk.

Especially the word Qianqian. Every time he called these two words, Yun Qianyi felt like she tasted the dew in the morning light, which struck her heart directly. This voice had an irresistible magnetism that made her completely unable to extricate herself.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise at the door, and the door was opened a crack, and someone walked in slowly with footsteps as light as a kitten.

Yun Qianyi and Jun Yanci continued to sleep in each other's arms, without any reaction.

It was not until the door was closed again that she turned her head to look at the table. The pair of Hetian jade earrings that had been there were gone.

"When do we leave?"

Yun Qianyi didn't care about these material things. The footsteps were obviously from a child, and this house was located in the inner part of the village, so it must be someone from the village.

"At the moment of Maochen, the capital will return to its usual imperial guards. I left a mark on the road, and Xuanliu will find it."

At dawn, Yun Qianyi and Jun Yanci left quietly.

After they left, there was a noise coming from the village chief's house.

"You bitch! How can you take care of a child? This is a guest's thing, give it back now!"

The village chief was so angry when he saw the earrings in his little daughter's hand.

"It's just a pair of earrings. Besides, we took them in last night and gave them the best main house. He disappeared early in the morning. What's wrong with taking some things?"

The woman was seen holding the girl, sitting on a low stool, not feeling at all that they had done anything wrong.

"It's New Year's Day, and we are all from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why are you fussing over these things? What's more, the young couple said yesterday that they would definitely send a thank-you gift after visiting their relatives in the capital. How can you be so greedy!"

"They say they can, but who knows if it's true or not? Besides, those two people are obviously from wealthy families, so what's wrong with holding an earring?"

"You guys are not taking! You are stealing!"

The village chief was so angry that he slammed the table when he saw that he couldn't communicate with his wife at all.

At this time, several villagers ran into the yard, their tone filled with anxiety and fear.

"Village Chief! There are a lot of soldiers at the door! Go out and take a look!"

Little did they know that this pair of earrings would become their death warrant.

-

The sun slowly peeked out from the veil of early morning, and its soft light gradually illuminated the sky.

The sunlight shining on the two people walking side by side was like a layer of golden light, making the two people who were already outstanding in appearance even more ethereal.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Xuan Liu to prepare a thank-you gift and send it over."

"Well, let him get some coins from Yishengxing and bring them over."

Yishengxing was the largest money house in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and one of the properties left to her by her second brother Yun Chengyi.

Yun Qianyi was very meticulous. The houses in the village were old, and even the plates for serving the dishes were collected from each household, which showed that they were not rich.

But the villagers were rare and simple, not only were they warm and hospitable, they even prepared new quilts for them, and also garlands containing precious thoughts. Yun Qianyi and Jun Yanci were still holding the pair of garlands that the little boy gave them last night.

"Qianqian, we are husband and wife, just give one share."

Jun Yanci held the wreath in his hand and waved it in front of her twice.

"Your Highness, there was a reason for what happened yesterday. I had no choice but to do it."

This actor is so competent, what's wrong? He can't even perform well in a play? !

But it's true, based on Jun Yanci's appearance, if he were in modern times, he would be a cosmic beauty, killing everything in an instant and looking down on everyone. In addition, he can change his face so quickly and act so well, so he should be able to win the Golden Horse Award and the Oscar trophy.

"Then you and I pretending to be a couple, was it Qianqian who took the initiative to propose it?"

Yun Qianyi heard his aggrieved tone, bit her lower lip, and said word by word after a long while:

"Yes, me." Right?

"Even if it's a play, you have to act it out. How can a husband and wife give gifts separately?"

Yun Qianyi was speechless. This guy was so confident and reasonable that she couldn't refute him.

Jun Yanci saw her holding her forehead with her hand and was about to reach out and pull it down when he was about to touch her hand.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Miss Yun, please forgive me. I am late."

Yun Qianyi turned around when he heard the voice and saw Xuan Liu and Xuan Qi kneeling on one knee in front of them.

"Get up."

After saying this, she felt somewhat confused as to why Jun Yanci's people would salute her.

After Xuan Liu stood up, he glanced at his master with a dangerous look.

It’s over, His Highness is angry.

"Miss Yun, where have you taken our prince to suffer?"

Xuan Qi frowned his iconic baby face and circled around them.

"Xuan Xiaoqi, your eyes are so big, are they built-in magnifying glasses or microscopes?"

After Yun Qianyi finished scolding Xuan Qi, he turned to look at Jun Yanci and was stunned.

Why did his face look worse after a night? Was he cold? She didn't grab the quilt.

To be honest, I haven't taken his pulse since the last time we met on that snowy night.

Yun Qianyi stretched out her hand and was about to feel his pulse on his right hand, but was pushed away by Xuan Qi. She saw that his big eyes were narrowed and pointing at the distance.

"Oh? Why is there smoke over there at this hour? Is someone burning something?"

Yun Qianyi followed the direction Xuan Qi pointed and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

That billowing smoke, could it be that...
The two horses were running very fast. Yun Qianyi and Jun Yanci were riding one horse together and running in the front, while Xuan Liu and Xuan Qi were following closely behind.

When they arrived, the entire village was already engulfed in flames. The raging fire and the smell of burning assaulted every one of their senses.

“Qianqian!”

Yun Qianyi subconsciously wanted to rush in to save people, but was stopped by Jun Yanci.

It was too late. It was impossible for anyone to survive such a big fire.

Yun Qianyi and Jun Yanci stood there, looking at the village that was full of laughter and joy yesterday, but now...
The two pairs of eyes were still stunningly beautiful, but at this moment, what could not be ignored was the anger in their eyes.

Following the sound of footsteps, a row of officers and soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Ministry of Justice appeared in front of them.

"Your humble servant Guo Qing pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
