Chapter 024: Deliberation 3

Yu Ling woke up, the pain in his chest decreased slightly, but he still couldn't move, he only felt that all the strength in his body was gone, and his hands were tightly tugging on the quilt.

"Wake up." Helan Yi pushed the door in, and her tall figure stood in front of the bed, looking at her bloodless face, feeling guilty, "Starting today, Ye Buli will always be by your side to protect." โ€

Yu Ling was stunned, Ye Buli followed her, wouldn't it restrict her freedom.

"You're going back to the palace?" Yu Ling wanted to smile at him, and pulled the corners of his lips open, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying, "It hurts." โ€

"What's the matter?" Helan Yi held back the thought of laughing, sat on the edge of the bed, raised her eyebrows, and met her dissatisfied eyes.

"You're not going to tell your queen mother that I'm plotting?"

"Nope."

"Hide it from everyone."

โ€œweishenme๏ผŸโ€ Raising his eyes in surprise, he thought that he was going to spend some energy to explain to her, but he didn't expect her to say it first, she was an accident, an unexpected surprise for him.

"Uncle said that the dark arrow is coming at me, I can't tell if I want to kill me or scare me, one thing is for sure, these people want to destroy the relationship between Dayuan and Zhao."

"Those people may have been sent by the general of my imperial brother's territory." Helan Yi's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"You shouldn't doubt your royal brother." Yu Ling couldn't help laughing, this man, saying such things in front of her without any scruples, wasn't he afraid that she would take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between their brothers?

Helan Yi's eyes swept over her pale cheeks, and he snorted lightly: "Tiancheng is surrounded by thirty-six cities, the imperial city is the territory of my eldest brother Helan Hong, and the dragon city is my Helan Yi's territory, the two cities, one left and one right, are the most important barriers of Tiancheng, and Gao Lin, the general of the imperial city, has always advocated the settlement of territorial disputes by force, and this incident may be his mastermind." โ€

"Aren't you afraid that I will sue my mother?" Yu Ling looked at him strangely, he would say to her so bluntly, the person who plotted against her might be his imperial brother's subordinates.

"Zhao is too far away from here." Helan Yi smiled coldly and looked at her with disdain, "I tell you so reassuringly, of course I know that you will obey my arrangement, otherwise, you will be banned from leaving the palace." โ€

There seemed to be some slight change in his attitude, and Yu Ling felt it, she couldn't tell what it was, and intuitively thought that he had treated her as family.

Family.

A sour thing poured out of her heart, since she was sensible, she knew that she was the stand-in for the eldest princess, she had never been a member of the Zhao family, and the people who were related to her were no longer in this world, even if the queen insisted that she call the queen mother, she still felt that she was so lonely.

"Weishenme, you don't speak to me now like you used to?" Raising his misty eyes, he pulled away an ugly smile, "Helan Yi, now you are no longer the ruthless King of Chu. โ€

Helan Yi was slightly stunned, did he have such an obvious change?

"Get used to it." Helan Yi got up and prepared to leave, but did not answer her question directly, and said those words to her before it was too late, "Ye Buli will always protect you until you have the ability to protect yourself." With a long stride, he strode out of the room.

Looking at his back, Yu Ling fell into deep thought, what should I do next?

Family, the word poked deep into the softest place in her heart, that was the warmth she longed for, but could never get again.
