The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 328 - 203: What If I Destroy You? (Part 2)
Indeed, the man’s whereabouts are elusive.
And the events of tonight made Yun Chunnuan completely realize that he is truly crazy, yet also very powerful.
Whether or not there are his people in the General Mansion is unknown.
The only thing she can do now is hide.
"Husband, he’s definitely not as simple as he appears. You must protect yourself, alright? If you can’t eliminate him, then drive him out of Bianliao. I just want you to be well.
In just another day, it’ll be our wedding day. I’ve been looking forward to it for so long, and so have you. No matter what, nothing can go wrong. Promise me."
"Fool." He gently caressed her messy hair, tidying it up for her, "Nothing will go wrong, I assure you."
Yun Chunnuan gave a few more instructions before removing the Blood Jade and entering her personal space.
Inside, time is frozen, but at the moment, she cannot patiently wait.
She slightly adjusted the compass that was set to zero.
She can now master the compass’ time well, estimating that the night has passed before Yun Chunnuan comes out of the space.
The room was eerily quiet, with not a single person present.
Outside, it was still as lively as usual.
Some were checking what items were missing from the betrothal gifts, while others were greeting the guests who came to deliver gifts.
That voice, could it be her husband?
Yun Chunnuan put on a garment and swiftly opened the door.
It was midday, the sun hanging warmly in the azure sky.
A man dressed in black was beaming with joy, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Upon hearing the door open, he looked over, his amber eyes filled with tenderness.
"Nuannuan."
He smiled, his warmth radiant and brilliant.
He walked over slowly, taking her soft little hand.
"Princess?" Qiao’er, busy with the wedding preparations at the mansion, had not accompanied Yun Chunnuan that evening.
Seeing her now, she was utterly stunned.
"Tsk, truly inseparable, aren’t you?" came Ye Danian’s teasing voice, "Madam, you should return to the bridal chamber. Tomorrow when you’re married, you can get as close as you like. Today, it’s inauspicious."
Bianliao women are not allowed to see their husbands before marriage.
The guests delivering gifts in the courtyard were also laughing and teasing.
Faced with all this, Yun Chunnuan couldn’t bring herself to joke.
She pulled the man’s hand and returned to the bedroom, "What’s going on? Where is he? What about Lian Qiao and Ba Yaoyao?"
There was no response from Yelyu Lie regarding the whereabouts of the two girls, but he held her hand tightly, "Nuannuan, let me show you something nice."
He personally selected a magnificent and beautiful winter dress for his little bride.
The soft pink color accentuated her beautiful face, making her look even more radiant.
Yelyu Lie looked her up and down, very satisfied.
"Nuannuan, shall I do your eyebrows?"
Yun Chunnuan was furious; changing clothes was her limit, and now he wanted to do her eyebrows?
"Tell me first, how are Lian Qiao and the others?"
"Nuannuan doesn’t want her eyebrows done? Alright then, you’re beautiful as is." He still didn’t answer but called Qiao’er in to style his little bride’s hair.
It was the kind of coin bun only young girls wear, matched with a pink short jacket, lively yet elegant.
With Qiao’er present, Yun Chunnuan couldn’t press further questions.
Once everything was ready, she was led away from the General Mansion by the man, hand in hand.
They headed toward the private prison...
According to Bianliao law, no noble could establish a private prison aside from the government office.
But Yelyu Lie was different, as a General granted permission by the King to establish a private prison.
On the way, Yun Chunnuan did not inquire further about Lian Qiao and Ba Yaoyao’s whereabouts.
She didn’t dare to ask, a vague foreboding hung in her heart.
Until the two of them reached the innermost cell in the prison, looking at the man in white stained with blood inside, Yun Chunnuan was speechless with shock.
"Xiao Qi... you’ve come?"
He seemed to be in great pain, his once jade-like face now flushed red, soaked with sweat, large droplets mixed with blood tainting the floor red.
Yet the smile on his lips remained so gentle and soft, as if the crazed, obsessive person from last night wasn’t him.
"What on earth happened?! Lian Qiao, they..."
She couldn’t hold it in any longer!
If she kept being brushed off like this, she would go mad!
"He’s breaching the treaty, you see, the King agreed to it."
Yelyu Lie looked at the man in the cell with a smile, recounting the events of the previous night to the cherished person in his embrace.
As it turned out, just after Yun Chunnuan entered the storage ring space, someone from the palace summoned him.
Yelyu Lie, intent on killing Ying Ce, had no intention of going to the Royal Palace.
But when the elderly eunuch who summoned him said the Regent King was in the palace, Yelyu Lie went along.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the King, he was ordered to divorce the Little Princess of Great Xia.
Already burning with rage, Yelyu Lie could no longer bear it. Straight in the great hall, he drew the soft sword from his waist, wanting to slash that beastly wretch directly!
But the man was well-guarded, his expression smug and carefree.
He produced the peace treaty once signed between the two countries, listing every rule Yelyu Lie had violated.
Such as, having the Little Princess wear Bianliao attire.
Such as, having the Little Princess use her noble hands, which had never touched spring water, to cook for him.
Such as, the envoy being imprisoned and Lord He having no remains left.
And so on...
There were many charges, one after the other. Initially little pleasures between a couple were now presented as evidence of him breaching the treaty.
In short, the treaty was already nullified; should he refuse to give up the Little Princess, the peace between the two nations would be entirely broken!
