Chapter 86: Chapter 86: An Unexpected Chess Piece

When Bai Aoxue saw Jun Yeyan who was stunned, she wanted to tease him involuntarily.

“Jun Yeyan, it seems that you really don’t want to discuss these things with me. You even lose your concentration when I’m talking about important things!” Bai Aoxue’s angry voice caught Jun Yeyan off guard.

He didn’t expect that he even irritated Bai Aoxue because he was absent-minded for a while. Jun Yeyan didn’t know what to do for a moment: “Xue, I was thinking about something else. There’s no way that I don’t want to take to you. Please go ahead!”

Bai Aoxue sniggered at him in her heart, but she still looked angry. She said: “I don’t want to say anything. You should go to arrange people and send me back later!”

Jun Yeyan really thought that Bai Aoxue was angry. He was a little bit anxious, but he could not show it. Finally, he blinked his charming eyes and resolved to apologize: “Xue, it’s my fault!”

Zhao, who was beside them, was petrified instantly!

Master... master.... master even had such a time!? Was this person really his master whom he respected and worshiped and who was decisive when he killed people and who was cunning when he played tricks?

Zhao couldn’t believe that after his master and Bai Aoxue be together, he started to become a little bit abnormal.

His master now was an expert on those movements and expressions that he used to be scornful about.

He was even proud of them instead of regarding them as a shame!

Bai Aoxue felt that Jun Yeyan, who was blinking and looking at her pitifully, completely reversed her cognition towards him.

Now Jun Yeyan could only be described as cute and adorable!

“Cough...” In order to conceal her embarrassment for being stunned by Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue coughed hard.

However, Jun Yeyan thought that his new expression scared Bai Aoxue. He felt a sense of loss: “Xue, don’t be mad. Please forgive me since I make myself stupid to make you laugh.”

“I didn’t expect that 5th prince, who is always clever, couldn’t tell that I was joking! I barely teased you. It even worked this time!” Bai Aoxue’s smiling eyes were bright and sparkling.

Although her face was pale, it didn’t affect her beauty.

When Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he was relieved. He looked at Bai Aoxue with a smile on his face then reached out to stroke Bai Aoxue’s small head softly.

Bai Aoxue did not know that after Jun Yeyan knew love in this world, he had the sincerest concern. Bai Aoxue’s happiness and sorrow affected his mood all the time.

“Let me introduce Zhao. He is my shadow guard. From now on, he would be with you. If you want anything, just tell him.” Jun Yeyan immediately continued since he worried that Bai Aoxue was so happy that she might pull her wound.

“Zhao? The sun and the moon are on the sky simultaneously. What a good name!” Bai Aoxue appreciated sincerely.

Those people in 21st century who know this word must think of a person. A woman who is sincerely admired and respected by any women in this world!

Wu Zetian—the only female emperor in Chinese history. When she was in power, her style name was “Zhao”. It meant that the sun and the moon were on the sky at the same time. They shone on every corner of the land.

Bai Aoxue actually missed that steel forest when she accidentally heard a word that was associated with 21st century in this parallel dynasty.

“This is my king... This is given by my master. The meaning that master said was quite the same as what Miss Bai said!” He wanted to call Jun Yeyan as my king, but Jun Yeyan’s glance stopped him.

Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue with surprise. He did not expect that Bai Aoxue actually had the same understanding about this word with him. How could he not be happy?

Bai Aoxue found that Jun Yeyan was full of sparkling merits through getting along with him.

These sparkling merits were not arrogant or wild. They were just appropriate for him to cover up that rough perversity and majestic atmosphere.

When such a people who had been concealing his strengthens and biding his time achieved success, people would be ashamed of their ridiculous and worldly sights!

Bai Aoxue believed that that day wouldn’t be far!

“If you give me your shadow guard, what about you?” Bai Aoxue certainly wouldn’t forget that there were many dangers lurking around him.

“Haha... I have a lot of shadow guards. Zhao’s existence doesn’t make that number change too much!” Jun Yeyan laughed. Then he raised his hand and stroked her hair.

Bai Aoxue frowned without showing anything. Jun Yeyan seemed to get used to stroking her hair.

Bai Aoxue knew that Jun Yeyan must trust Zhao very much since he let him help her. When Bai Aoxue found that Jun Yeyan didn’t plan to take Zhao back, she smiled.

“If this is the case, I will borrow Zhao temporarily.” Bai Aoxue nodded.

Jun Yeyan didn’t care about that. He said: “Sure, all of my things will be yours anyway sooner or later.”

After listening to Jun Yeyan’s words, Bai Aoxue’s mouth quivered. She knew that Jun Yeyan had deep meaning.

“I think Jun Wuhen must let people observe General’s mansion secretly. Once I go back, he will summon me immediately. You should let your people disguise themselves then send me back.” Bai Aoxue changed the subject.

Jun Yeyan wasn’t in a hurry. He was slow in love, and Bai Aoxue was even slower than him, but they had their whole lives to stay with each other. Their love would be more tenacious and long-lasting after the test of time!

“Sure, I’ll let them prepare, but before that, you must eat first!” Jun Yeyan said calmly.

Zhao, who was behind Jun Yeyan, knew his meaning when he lifted his hand slightly. He immediately turned to ask for meals.

Bai Aoxue looked at Zhao and Jun Yeyan who were so well-coordinated. She gradually realized that Zhao was more than Jun Yeyan’s shadow guard.

But she did not ask more. She chose to believe Jun Yeyan.

In imperial palace, Jun Wuhen slapped the throne that symbolized imperial majesty!

“Stupid! Bai Qiwei, I’ve always thought that you are clever and know how to behave in a delicate situation! Bai Aoxue, such a useful chess piece, was even abandoned by you! You’ve taken this position for so long that you’re dimmed-sight!” Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei with bitter resentment.

When Bai Qiwei listened to Jun Wuhen’s words, he, who was originally restless, became fiery. His heartbeat seemed to pause for a second.

He did not expect Jun Wuhen to say such obscure words.

“Your Majesty, please calm down. I was so anxious at that time, and I didn’t expect Bai Aoxue to be so ignorant. I planned to dedicate those gifts to Your Majesty and replenish the treasury. But Bai Aoxue was so selfish that she even wanted to take them all. She even used poisons. More than a dozen of my subordinates has died. I couldn’t be angrier!” Bai Qiwei said with sorrow and anger.

When Jun Wuhen listened to Bai Qiwei’s words, he picked up his eyebrows and said: “Prime Minister Bai, you are so kind. I’m moved!”

“But! You didn’t know what your impulse would bring to us! Prime Minister Bai, do you want to kill Bai Aoxue just because she is a woman and quite worthless?” Jun Wuhen suddenly switched their conversion to another subject. He looked at Bai Qiwei who was restless indifferently.

Bai Qiwei was somewhat awkward when he was seen through.

“Now, I should tell you that Bai Aoxue is very important to the direction of my next move. How can I be unclear about what kind of person Jun Yeyan is? It’s just that he hides so well that people in the world are all deceived. I want him to reveal his character, but I don’t have any evidences.

Now Bai Aoxue is the one who can change this situation, but you sever relations with her so rashly. You even want to kill her! Have you gained nothing after being Prime Minister for so many years?? “Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei and regretted that he didn’t live up to his expectations.

Bai Qiwei obviously didn’t think so much when he argued with Bai Aoxue. He thought that Jun Wuhen would not blame him since he had been working so hard for all these years.

But he didn’t expect that Jun Wuhen would question his ability!

“Your Majesty, I’ve always concerned about Chengxi. I always put our country ahead of my family. So, I did not think too much. Please punish me, Your Majesty!” Bai Qiwei looked at Jun Wuhen sorrowfully.

Jun Wuhen was choked because of Bai Qiwei’s words. He was speechless.

What a cunning old fox Bai Qiwei was! He stopped him just by saying “put our country ahead of my family”!

“Never mind. Bai Qiwei, you are a senior official for two dynasties. How can I blame you? However, Prime Minister Bai, you still need to make up for your mistakes!” Jun Wuhen lifted the scattered hair at the corner of his eye.

Bai Qiwei looked at Jun Wuhen with puzzle. Make up for his mistakes? What should he do?

“Bai Aoxue is very important to my current situation. In the past few years, it was extremely difficult to find out Jun Yeyan’s ins and outs. Perhaps, Bai Aoxue can help me. Now, you can’t abandon such a good chess piece!” Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei in the eye and said word by word.

When Bai Qiwei listened to Jun Wuhen’s words, he knew that it was him who wanted to kill Bai Aoxue, but it would also be him who should apologize first!

“Your Majesty, there is something that you don’t know. Although Bai Aoxue is my daughter, her temperament is exactly the opposite of mine. She yields to neither persuasion nor coercion. I am afraid that even I’m humble, the results won’t be good!” Bai Qiwei said unwillingly.

He was her father. How could he apologize to Bai Aoxue and swallow his pride? He was the Prime Minister of a country. How could he make concessions?

“You must bring Bai Aoxue back to Prime Minister’s mansion even if you are refused entrance at the door repeatedly. Take back your ridiculous self-esteem. If my vital matters fail because of you, you don’t need to be Prime Minister anymore!” Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei coldly who tried to change the current situation.

When Bai Qiwei listened to Jun Wuhen’s latter sentence, his heartbeat seemed to pause for a second. In the first half of his life, in order to achieve this position, he worked very hard. He had done all the dirty deals.

Now, what he received was only an light order of Jun Wuhen. Bai Qiwei was angry in the extreme, while he also understood that Jun Wuhen always stood by his words.

“I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will retrieve this situation. If you don’t have any other orders, I should leave now.” Bai Qiwei said humbly.

Jun Wuhen rubbed his temples and said: “Sure. Go to mend the relationship between you and Bai Aoxue. I hope that I can hear good news within three days and Bai Aoxue can marry 5th prince from Prime Minister’s mansion.”

“As your wish!” Bai Qiwei saluted respectfully and left slowly.

Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei who was leaving. He picked up his mouth and smiled. He said: “In this game, Bai Aoxue is an unexpected chess piece. I still need to rely on her!”
