As if he didn't see the distance that she intentionally maintained, he frowned at her with a hint of undetectable nervousness in her voice, ”Wan Niang said that you didn't eat tonight!”

Wen Yi acknowledged, ”Yes, I'm not hungry!”

She lowered her head and stood in front of him like a palace maid. She would answer whenever he asked a question, and she would not say a word if he didn't ask.

”Someone, come!” Song Yunqian seemed to be slightly angry, and shouted a little softly.

Xiao Cai, who was waiting outside the hall, rushed in and hurried forward to bow: ”This servant is here!”

”I ordered the kitchen to prepare some dishes. There's no need for too much, it's fine as long as it's exquisite!” Song Yunqian ordered.

”Yes sir!” Xiao Cai was lucky, ”This servant will go right now!”

Wen Yi remained silent as she stood obediently at the side.

Song Yunqian sat in front of the table and looked at the book on the table. He casually picked it up, flipped through a few pages, and said indifferently: This book, is it Ke Er's?

”Yes, Zhuge Ming gave this to this humble girl!” Wen Yi replied.

Hearing the name Zhuge Ming, he felt extremely disgusted and uncomfortable. Without another word, he slammed the book down on the table.

Silence spread between the two, the silence in the hall was frightening, and no one dared to enter.

After a long while, Song Yunqian finally raised his head and looked at Wen Yi, and said coldly: ”Sit!”

Wen Yi followed her instructions and sat down. Her legs were already very tired from standing, but when she sat down, she had already stopped raising her head.

”The friendship between you and Zhuge Ming is really deep!” he said sarcastically, and the candlelight from the table came into his eyes, as if a flame were dancing in them.

Initially, Wen Yi wanted to sarcastically say that her relationship with the Imperial Concubine Rou wasn't as deep as hers, but thinking about it, what was the point in saying such words? Therefore, she finally said, ”I'm still alright!”

”Don't you want to defend yourself?” he said coldly.

Funny, excuse? After what happened that night, she explained to him that he didn't want to bring it up again and let it go. Now, she said she didn't explain.

Wen Yi retracted the smoke in her eyes and said indifferently: ”There's nothing to explain.”

”What do you mean?” He suddenly frowned, ”Who are you showing such a resentful woman to? If you want to go out of the palace to look for him, I didn't tie your feet. ”

Wen Yi calmly replied, ”Yes, the emperor has not tied my feet yet!”

Song Yunqian rapped the table with his hand, producing a thumping sound. This sound was somewhat terrifying in the silence of the night, as if it was the prelude to a storm. However, the anger did not burst out of his eyes. In the end, he said with a helpless and anxious voice: ”Must this be the only thing between us?”

Wen Yi did not raise her head and only sighed. ”What does the Emperor want?”

”You never called me Emperor before!”

”The emperor would never have called himself 'This Emperor' in front of a commoner before!” Wen Yi answered lightly.

He was stunned for a moment, her expression gradually becoming quiet. After a long while, he said with an extremely exhausted look on her face, ”Wen Yi, are we really unable to go back to the past?”

Wen Yi raised her head, her eyes looking somewhat sorrowful, ”People have to keep looking forward!”

”I know you don't love him!”

”It doesn't seem to make sense to say that. You are convinced that I have a secret relationship with him. Why do you need to say all these irrelevant things?” Wen Yi laughed sarcastically.

Song Yunqian became silent. After a long while, he said: ”It's not that I don't believe you, but I saw it with my own eyes and I can't let go of it in my heart. You should know that I don't feel good about it these days!”

Wen Yi stared at him, and said somewhat bitterly, ”Treat her well, she has already suffered a lot, and everything is because of her deep love for you.”

Song Yunqian did not speak, he heaved a long sigh, and kept quiet for a while, before saying: ”In this life, it's I who have let her down!” This sentence seemed to have some hidden meaning, but Wen Yi did not question it further, she only smiled indifferently.
