Chapter 32 Secret Letter Disturbance 1
Chuyue slept so soundly that she didn't wake up until someone came to deliver lunch.After dinner, Tao Yao saw her sitting by the window with her chin propped up, holding a book in her hand, but she didn't turn it over for a long time, her eyes were staring out of the window, she didn't know where her mind had wandered.

Tao Yao coughed softly: "Princess? How does this servant feel that after you came back hand in hand with the general last night...you've been acting weird?"

Chuyue came back to her senses, and flipped through the book pretendingly: "What, last night was just... the situation forced me to play on the spot! Although Xue Yao doesn't seem to be a bad person, I don't want to be his at all. Ma'am, I'm still going out to live a free life and find my beloved, who—"

"—I don't want to be famous among the lords, I just want to be a great hero who values ​​love and righteousness. Don't need the princess to say that, Tao Yao can hear cocoons in her ears."

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the door, and Xue Yao broke in, followed by a team of guards.Before Chuyue had time to speak, he stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Chuyue's wrist and dragged it out without breaking up.Chuyue exclaimed in pain: "What are you doing? Let me go!"

Xue Yao's face was ashen: "Let go of you? If I let you go, will my Xue family be killed by you?"

Chuyue didn't know where this huge black pot came from: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I harm your Xue family?"

Xue Yao didn't care to listen to her justification, and dragged her out.Tao Yao wanted to rush up, but was stopped by the guards, and could only watch helplessly as Chuyue was taken away.

Everyone left, leaving only a mess in the house.Tao Yao ran into the inner room in a panic, searching around: where are the fireworks that Prince Shun gave yesterday?I don't know what happened to the general all of a sudden, I must inform Prince Shun as soon as possible!
Tao Yao found the fireworks and ran to the window.The fireworks rose into the sky, blasting faint spots of light in the air, which disappeared in an instant.

The dungeon was surrounded by cold stone walls, a gloomy mass, only a dim lamp was lit in the corner, which faintly illuminated whips, chains and other instruments of torture, which seemed to be stained with blood.Chuyue shouted in horror: "Xue Yao, what on earth do you want to do! Let me tell you, killing the royal family will punish the nine clans!"

In the dark, she couldn't see Xue Yao's face clearly, but she could only feel the anger in his voice: "Princess You Lao is concerned about my nine clans, that's why you wrote a secret letter to the emperor, isn't it?"

Chuyue was stunned, and blurted out: "How do you know?"

"It really is you." Xue Yao wanted to laugh for a moment.He blamed himself for being naive and being deceived by her face, but he didn't find any flaws after several times of probing, so he really thought she was innocent.

Bai Liqi told him that Chuyue had sent a secret letter to the palace, and he had had a glimmer of hope at first, thinking that maybe it was just a misunderstanding, but now she admitted it herself.

It's just that the dust has settled, and he should feel relaxed, but there is something broken in his heart.This woman who was accidentally stuffed into his life, he had already tried to trust her and accept her, but this trust was not worth mentioning to her.

"I wrote a letter, but..." Chuyue hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Bai Liqi: "In the past, there was a spy in the Xue family army, who killed thousands of brothers. The princess knew What happened to him later? He was beaten for [-] knives and dragged on for three days and three nights before dying. When he died, his body was covered with maggots and his eyes were pecked away by eagles... ...Princess, what the general hates the most in this life is betrayal."
