The emperor broke the contract again today

Chapter 223
Suddenly there was another sound from the front, and there was a muffled "dong", Yun Xiyan felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

After taking a deep breath, Yun Xiyan took a step forward, turned around and walked into the secret room next to her.

Under the yellow and dim candlelight, it can be seen that the basement is very simple, with a bed, a table, and two stools.

A dim shadow leaned against the wall not far from her.And not far from this shadow, is a chair that fell to the ground.Obviously, the sound she heard from above should be the sound of this chair falling to the ground.

Because the candlelight in the room was too dim, Yun Xiyan couldn't see the shadow clearly, so she boldly took a few steps forward.This should be a woman, with a petite figure, long unkempt hair covering her face, her whole body is dirty and smells bad.

It was only when she got closer that Yun Xiyan saw that there were bright red bloodstains on the wall that the person was leaning against, and through the messy hair covering her face, she could vaguely see the bloodstains flowing on her face.It turned out that the sound she heard just now was the sound of the woman hitting her head against the wall.

"Hey, who are you...?" Yun Xiyan asked cautiously, but she didn't hear anyone for a while.

Cautiously walking in front of that figure, Yun Xiyan raised her hand and lifted the disheveled hair on that figure's face, and a hideous face full of scars came into view.His eyes were closed tightly, and there were a few bloodstains on his face. It seemed that he had fainted because he hit the wall too hard just now.

Who is this woman?Why is it here?Is all this related to Ye Haoyu?

Yun Xiyan was full of doubts at the moment, and at this moment, the man's eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened, and he looked at her in horror.

Yun Xiyan didn't know why, but felt that those eyes were inexplicably familiar, but after that person saw Yun Xiyan clearly, his frightened eyes seemed to be dazed for a moment, and then suddenly he yelled , Chaoyun Xiyan rushed over.

Yun Xiyan was startled, and stepped back a few steps.

The figure jumped out of nowhere and fell to the ground, still whimpering, its body lying on the ground in a strange posture and wriggling towards her.

Only then did she realize that the man's limbs could not move at all, and the whining sound from the man's mouth was more like crying. The sad cry made her feel very sad.

Those somewhat familiar eyes flashed before her eyes again, Yun Xiyan bit her lip, mustered up her courage, and walked in front of that figure again.

With trembling hands, she lifted the messy hair on her face, and those eyes came into view again, they were full of tears at the moment, looking at her silently, there was sadness, sadness, pain, and even a trace of remorse in those eyes.

But, why is this look so familiar?who is it?Whose look is it?

Slowly stepping forward with one hand to cover the area below her eyes, Yun Xiyan's mind suddenly flashed like a bolt from the blue, this look...

With a trembling voice, he asked with difficulty, "Pick...Xia?"

Hearing her words, the people on the ground whimpered and nodded desperately with tears streaming down their faces.

Yun Xiyan covered her mouth and fell to the ground, this... this is really Shi Xia.

No wonder that Shi Xia in the shop always felt strange to her, no wonder that Shi Xia was not afraid of Ye Haoyu except respect, it turned out that the person she kept seeing was not Shi Xia at all.

"Shixia, Shixia, tell me, what happened? Why did you become like this? Why are you here? Shixia, tell me..." Yun Xiyan threw herself into her arms and cried loudly She asked, "Shixia, tell me what's going on with all this?"

If it wasn't for the familiarity of Shi Xia's eyes, she would have been unable to connect the scarred, speechless, and crippled person in front of her with the charming and mischievous Shi Xia from before.Who is so cruel?
However, Shixia in her arms couldn't say anything except for the constant whimpering.

Yun Xiyan bit her lip, and asked with difficulty, "Did... the Fourth Prince make you like this?"

Although she had already guessed in her heart, she still wanted to hear Shi Xia's answer.

Shi Xia looked up at her, and finally nodded with tears again.

Yun Xiyan only felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes, and even her stomach seemed to start to ache.Although after hearing Shangguan Yunchu's conversation outside the study, she already guessed that Ye Haoyu must have done many things behind her back before, but she never thought that Ye Haoyu would do such a cruel thing .

Yun Xiyan smiled, maybe this was the first time she saw Ye Haoyu, who was ruthless and would use any means to achieve his goals.And she was just fascinated by Ye Haoyu's deliberate gentle and affectionate illusion, and tears kept falling down her cheeks.

During these days, if it wasn't for the Nine Turns Linglong Pendant and the baby in her womb, she would have already left.She has been forcing herself to be strong, forcing herself to face Ye Haoyu with a smile even if she hates it, and flirting with him with a smile.

But after seeing Shi Xia's tragic situation, all the strength and pretense she had built up finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed in an instant.

"Miss Shixia, Miss Shixia..." A faint voice came from the courtyard.

Yun Xiyan came to her senses, she had been down for too long, Shixia and Qingyu should be back soon, and she can't be found by them yet, she already knows everything.

Shi Xia is just a little girl beside her, Yun Xiyan doesn't know why Ye Haoyu would do this to her?If he really just wants to monitor her, then Ye Haoyu only needs to transfer Qingyu to her side directly, there is no need for that at all.Then the only remaining possibility is that Shi Xia must have discovered Ye Haoyu's secret by accident, and that's why she was murdered like this.What is this secret?
And no matter what it is for, she must rescue Shixia, but how to rescue Shixia without being discovered by them still requires her to think long-term.

Quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and stood up with difficulty while supporting his stomach with one hand.Then he dragged Shi Xia back to the bed on the other side, and helped the fallen chair back up.

He went forward and held Shixia's hand tightly, and said to her firmly, "Shixia, believe me, I will definitely come back to save you."

Shi Xia whimpered twice, and nodded to Yun Xiyan.

Yun Xiyan hugged Shixia for the last time, then turned around and walked outside, climbed up the ladder with difficulty with one hand on her stomach, restored everything in the house to its original state, looked at the door, and made sure that there was no one in the courtyard , before going out.

After walking a few steps in the courtyard, the pain in her stomach became more and more obvious, Yun Xiyan couldn't hold on any longer, and she suddenly collapsed on the ground while supporting her stomach.
