The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 430 - 429: Lan Xihe, I Hate You

Ye Ying did not give Jun Ning a definite answer, only asking Jun Ning to leave Lan Xihe to him. He also requested Jun Ning to trust him; he could definitely handle the matter well.

This tone and this confidence made Jun Ning feel as if she had returned to the past. Whenever Qianji Pavilion encountered any issues, she didn’t need to intervene. Ye Ying would tell her not to worry, to leave everything to him, and that he would take care of it.

Ye Ying had never betrayed her trust.

He always handled matters he took into his hands very well.

She believed it would be the same this time.

He wouldn’t let her down.

Jun Ning didn’t think much about it and left Lan Xihe to Ye Ying’s care. She then limped back to her tent to prepare for the final battle between East Chu and Bei Xia, a fight that would decide life, death, and future.

Qi Xiao heard that Jun Ning injured her foot and didn’t bother continuing discussions with the archers about where to place the improved bows. He rushed over to find Jun Ning, as he was worried sick about her.

...

Ye Ying brought Lan Xihe to his own tent, then sent everyone away, leaving him alone to face Lan Xihe.

Lan Xihe didn’t know that Ye Ying’s poison had been removed. She still treated Ye Ying with the attitude she had used when they were husband and wife.

At that moment, once everyone in the tent had left, she rushed into Ye Ying’s arms, tightly hugging his waist. With a bit of coquettishness, she rubbed her head against Ye Ying’s chest.

"Ye Ying, I’m so glad you’re okay. If something happened to you, what would I do?"

Her words were filled with dependence, trust, and the intimacy between lovers.

In the past, when Ye Ying’s poison hadn’t been removed, he inexplicably felt affection for Lan Xihe, who planted the love poison in him, and inexplicably wanted to get close.

Seeing Lan Xihe like this, he would certainly hug her tightly with great consideration and comfort her gently.

But now that the poison was lifted, his logic and memory were restored.

Looking at Lan Xihe, who rushed into his arms at this moment, he felt only impatience and speechless confusion about what to do...

After a long while, these emotions turned into a deep sigh from his chest.

"Ye Ying, why are you sighing? Are you worrying about me?" Lan Xihe, not knowing what Ye Ying was thinking, naively thought he was worried about her. She let go of Ye Ying, held his hand, and smiled, saying: "Don’t worry about me. As long as I can be with you, I’ll willingly face any danger."

Ye Ying’s hand, held by Lan Xihe, became somewhat stiff.

But Lan Xihe continued to bask in the joy of seeing Ye Ying again, unaware. She shyly said, "Ye Ying, I forgot to tell you something before. I am pregnant; we have a child."

"I saw a military doctor. Now it’s been three months. In another seven months, we can meet our child. I’m so looking forward to it."

"Are you looking forward to it?"

Lan Xihe shook Ye Ying’s hand, eagerly wanting to see his reaction upon knowing they had a child.

He should be excited too!

But reality disappointed Lan Xihe.

Ye Ying looked at Lan Xihe with a cold expression, so cold that Lan Xihe felt like she was in an icy wilderness, surrounded by no warmth.

Such a Ye Ying made her feel somewhat strange yet familiar. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Strange because of Ye Ying’s sudden attitude change towards her. Familiar because before they were married, when they were master and disciple, this was his attitude towards her after knowing her feelings.

Lan Xihe only now realized something was wrong. Today’s Ye Ying was really off, especially the way he looked at her, without the indulgence and pampering he used to show.

With trepidation, Lan Xihe asked cautiously, "...Ye Ying, what’s wrong with you?"

Ye Ying, unable to bear it any longer, shook off Lan Xihe’s hand and said, "Lan Xihe, it’s time for us to end things between us!"

The words, though vague, inexplicably brought sadness.

Lan Xihe clutched her clothes in distress and asked, "...End what?"

As soon as she spoke, a military doctor came in, handing Ye Ying a bowl of steaming medicine, seemingly just freshly brewed and brought over in a hurry.

Ye Ying took the bowl and signaled the doctor to leave.

Seeing the tense atmosphere inside the tent, the doctor wisely exited quickly.

Ye Ying blew on the bowl of medicine and then handed it to Lan Xihe, looking at her coldly. "Drink it, after which, the bond between you and me will be completely severed."

Lan Xihe shook her head, confusedly saying, "Why sever the bond between us? Ye Ying, what do you mean by that? What do you really want to do?"

Ye Ying snorted coldly and said, "I have regained my memory."

One sentence caused a thousand ripples.

What did regaining memory signify? Lan Xihe understood well!

It meant the love poison was gone. He would no longer love her; he was back to the previous, cold and emotionless mentor with no affection for her...

He might even despise, resent, and be angry at her for the manipulation and for planting the love poison, wanting to kill her...

Fear surged within Lan Xihe. She weakly collapsed to the ground.

Ye Ying wouldn’t let her off easily. Holding the medicine, he squatted in front of her and said, "Drink it?"

The words carried a hint of coercion, highly forceful and oppressive. Lan Xihe wanted to argue back, but seeing Ye Ying’s murderous expression, she dared not.

The love she stole over the years was ultimately stolen, and when the truth was revealed one day, Lan Xihe, apart from feeling ashamed, also felt guilty, too guilty to object to any of Ye Ying’s current decisions.

Her trembling body gazed at the medicine in Ye Ying’s hand, thinking it couldn’t be anything good and surely was meant to end her child’s life.

She tightly guarded her belly, not wanting anything to happen to the little baby she had longed for so desperately inside her.

After waiting for a while and seeing Lan Xihe showing no sign of drinking the medicine, even retreating continuously, Ye Ying impatiently approached, pinched Lan Xihe’s chin, forcing her to open her mouth and drink the medicine.

His movements were really rough, like venting the pent-up emotions in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Lan Xihe, do you know you ruined my life? I hate you to death."

Lan Xihe was forced to drink the medicine and couldn’t respond to Ye Ying. She only heard him say again, "I have always hated women approaching me, especially those unscrupulous ones. Lan Xihe, you knew this. So why did you do it? Hmm? Was it only by ruining me that you would be satisfied?"

Lan Xihe was in tears, wanting to say, "I love you," but there was no chance to say it.
