Chapter 63 You Dare No (1/2)

t

As Tang Xia settled back on the chair, she watched fiery-red sunset clouds, squinting her eyes in a trance.

Since Chu Tiankuo walked off in a huff last time, he had never come for Tang Xia again as if he was quite angry with her.

”However, should he put the blame on me?”

”It was he who was indifferent to me first, so I ignored him in return.”

In Tang Xia's view, Chu Tiankuo was a great guy except for his pride and arrogance, which made her unsure sometimes what on earth she meant to him.

As Tang Xia was carried away by her fancy in a trance, Lyuyou came from outside and asked with concern, ”Your Grace, what are you thinking about?”

Tang Xia raised her head and fixed her eyes on the object in Lyuyou's left hand, saying, ”What is in your hand?”

Lyuyou put the note on the table in front of Tang Xia and said with her eyebrows knitted, ”Someone told me to take this to you. But I have no idea what it says.”

Feeling puzzled, Tang Xia took the note and found the free and easy handwriting on the note was so familiar. It seemed that she had seen it before, which made her freeze for a moment.

After pondering for a while, Tang Xia was sure that it was written by Helian Jue because she had seen his handwriting more than once and sighed with emotion that 'the style is the man' every time she saw his writing.

”However, isn't Helian Jue locked in the prison now? Why did he have someone send the note to me? What is his purpose?”

As Tang Xia was puzzled, she looked over the note word by word again and frowned unconsciously.

What was written on the note by Helian Jue was just a line of words saying that he had something urgent to discuss with her so she needed to go to the prison tonight, something bad would happen to the country if she did not come to see him.

Tang Xia wore a terrible look, not knowing what Helian Jue meant.

As Lyuyou stood beside Tang Xia, she saw clearly what was written on the note and asked, raising her eyebrows, ”Are you going or not, Your Grace?”

Tang Xia frowned and stroked the line of words with her index finger without answering Lyuyou's question.

Lyuyou hesitated for a moment and said, ”I think, it seems not appropriate if you don't go. We won't be caught if we are more careful at night.”

Tang Xia wore a faint smile on her mouth and said with determination, ”Just ignore it. I won't go!”

Lyuyou opened her mouth as if she wanted to say more but gave up.

As it was time to have dinner, Tang Xia somehow lost her appetite in the face of a table of delicious food.

While she was fiddling with vegetable leaves in her bowl, Tang Xia raised her head, looking at the dense darkness outside the window as if she was deep in thought.

Tang Xia became extremely worried, thinking of the words written by Helian Jue on the note.

”Would something extremely bad happen if I don't go?”

As Tang Xia thought of Chu Tiankuo, she changed her mind and thought that it would not be a big deal to go to the prison.

”I don't believe that Helian Jue will hurt me.”

As Tang Xia made up her mind, she finished her dinner hastily. Then she changed her clothes and got prepared to go to the prison as it was getting late.

Lyuyou said worriedly, ”Why don't you go with me, Your Grace? At least I can guard the door for you.”

Tang Xia shook her head, refusing her proposal. ”It will become more troublesome if more people go there. Don't worry, I will be fine.”

Lyuyou frowned. ”I know the Helian Jue will not hurt you, Your Grace. I just feel that something is wrong.”

Tang Xia wore a smile feeling the same way, ”Don't worry. I will act accordingly. Then everything will be fine.”

”I can't drag too many people into this, whether the note written by Helian Jue is true or not.”

Tang Xia arrived at the prison successfully and found that Helian Jue was leaning on the wall and refreshing his spirit by closing his eyes. But she could not figure out whether he was sleeping or not.

And Helian Jue's complexion was the same as before.

Tang Xia ordered someone to open the door, and the clanks of unlocking the door alerted Helian Jue who opened his eyes subconsciously.

Helian Jue looked Tang Xia up and down with his deep eyes and wore a faint smile on his mouth, saying, ”I knew that you would come.”

Tang Xia said, looking at him coldly, ”It seems that you have enjoyed a good life here.”

Helian Jue smiled with bitterness in his eyes and said sentimentally, ”It never occurred to me that I needed to see you in this way.”

Tang Xia wore a poker face and said in a colder voice, ”Just save it. I don't have time for small talk. Why do you need to see me? What do the words on the note mean?”
