Chapter 423 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [99]
Chapter 423 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [99]
After leaving the Demon Emperor's Palace, Jiang Xiyu did not want to disturb others, so he did not sleep for the rest of the night. He sat on the eaves and waited until the sky began to lighten and the demon servants came to wait outside the palace with gifts. Only then did he pull himself out of his thoughts and look down.
When the time was almost up, the demon servants brought the things into the hall to serve.
Yuejia hadn't slept all night. Hearing footsteps, she slightly opened her eyes, but upon seeing who it was, her cold gaze suddenly darkened again.
He asked, "Where is His Majesty?"
After the Demon Emperor left last night, he really didn't come back...
Upon hearing this, the demon servant stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "We have been guarding outside the palace, but we have not seen His Majesty."
Yuejia curled her lips coldly.
Seeing his silence, the demon servant felt uneasy. After a long while, she dared to steal a glance and then boldly spoke: "Does Your Highness the Demon Queen wish to see His Majesty? Perhaps this servant may send someone to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yuejia interrupted, "No need."
It's best if he doesn't come back, so I don't have to monitor him every day.
As Yuejia thought about it, the feeling in her heart not only didn't dissipate, but instead became even more oppressive.
His sharp eyes narrowed for a moment before he rose from the couch.
The demon servants immediately stepped forward to serve him, helping him wash and change his clothes.
It was rare for Yuejia to change out of her plain clothes. When she came out of the inner hall, the thin veil in her hair was pure and holy, and her skirt flowed like fire. As she walked, she was like a fairy from the Jade Pool, walking on lotus flowers, her beauty dazzling.
The demon servants stared in a daze, not daring to desecrate but yet filled with fascination.
Having served the Empress for so long, they had indeed rarely seen her wear such vibrant colors. It was as if the white lotus in the lotus pond had been transformed into a captivating red lotus by fire, making even the heavens and earth pale in comparison.
Yuejia slowly walked past them and headed towards the palace gate.
Seeing that he was about to leave the Demon Emperor's Palace, the demon servant quickly came to his senses and stepped forward to stop him: "Your Highness, you cannot go out."
Yuejia glanced at her expressionlessly.
The demon servant knelt down and said, "Your Highness, without His Majesty's order, you cannot leave this place without permission..."
"You dare to stop me?" Yuejia looked at her, her aura cold and imposing.
"This servant dares not, but Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that you not be allowed to leave. If you do leave, His Majesty will surely blame you. This servant begs Your Highness for mercy."
All the demon servants knelt down.
Yuejia's expression was cold, and a hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes.
The demon servants dared not disobey the Demon Emperor's orders, nor did they want to offend the Demon Empress. After all, they had seen the Demon Emperor's indulgence and favor towards the Demon Empress over the years.
After pondering for a moment, the lead demon servant, in order to avoid offending Yuejia, said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. This servant will immediately send someone to invite His Majesty here."
It's not appropriate for servants to interfere in the affairs between their masters.
Upon hearing this, Yuejia remained silent.
Seeing that he did not object, the demon servant immediately called his attendants to invite the demon emperor.
Once the demon servant who had gone to fetch the person left the Demon Emperor's Palace, Yuejia coldly withdrew her gaze, raised her hand, and gestured for the kneeling people to stand up.
The demon servant stood up, glancing at Yuejia with some hesitation. He saw that Yuejia's face was cold, so he immediately lowered his head and dared not look again. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
She felt that Her Highness the Demon Queen seemed very different today than before.
In the past, when they served here, they thought it was a wonderful thing.
Because the Empress Dowager disliked being served, she was quiet and did little. Most importantly, she never criticized her servants and never had any major emotional ups and downs.
But right now, the demon servant couldn't find the aloof and indifferent demeanor that Yuejia used to have in her eyes. Instead, there was an indescribable anxiety and impatience.
These emotions seem to have arisen only because the Demon Emperor has returned…
Therefore, the demon servant cautiously probed, "Your Highness, rest assured, His Majesty should arrive soon."
Upon hearing this, Yuejia glared at him fiercely. In the eyes of the demon servant, his appearance almost implied that his earlier act of leaving the Demon Emperor's Palace was actually because he wanted to see the Demon Emperor.
Because he couldn't see her, his brows furrowed with such irritation and anger, and even mixed with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy.
Jealousy...?
Recalling the commotion inside the Demon Emperor's Palace last night, they did indeed hear the Demon Queen angrily order people to leave.
Could it be that His Majesty did something to anger the Empress Dowager so much?
The couple argued so fiercely that the Demon Queen was so angry that she ordered the Demon Emperor to leave.
Could it be...
Does His Majesty have someone else outside?
That's why the Empress Dowager was so angry.
The demon servant thought for a moment and felt that this conjecture was the best explanation for the demon queen's jealousy at this moment.
Unfortunately, the person involved hadn't expected this.
If Ruoyuejia had listened to the demon servant's conjecture, she would probably have just laughed and mocked him.
Jealousy, an emotion that can only arise from love, how could he possibly have it?
Even when he was angry, he would only think that it was because Jiang Xiyu had trapped him here, and he was angry at the threats and humiliations Jiang had inflicted on him...
The demon servant cautiously looked up, about to say something to comfort her, but seeing Yuejia's increasingly impatient expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Never mind, there's a saying among humans.
They argue at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.
The demon servant thought that once the demon emperor arrived, the demon queen would probably be less angry.
*
When the demon servant who had received the order found Jiang Xiyu, Jiang Xiyu had already arrived at the palace where he handled government affairs, and he was about to start dealing with some matters in the demon realm.
Xiu Jie mostly handles these matters for him, but some important decisions still require his approval.
Before much could be done, the demon servant came to see him, saying that Yuejia wanted to leave the Demon Emperor's Palace.
Having spent the entire night trying to figure out how to explain, Jiang Xiyu decided to wait until things calmed down before bringing it up again. However, he hadn't expected Yuejia to be so angry.
Therefore, when Jiang Xiyu returned to the Demon Emperor's Palace with the demon servant, he hesitated to move when he saw Yue Jia's cold expression. In particular, he froze on the spot when he saw Yue Jia wearing a red and white gradient dress.
However, his distraction only lasted a moment. Jiang Xiyu lowered his eyes slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone in the hall to leave.
Once the demon servants had all left, the sudden silence created an awkward atmosphere.
Jiang Xiyu swallowed hard and asked softly, "You were looking for me?"
Yuejia sneered and said, "You trapped me here. Without your orders, how dare they let me out?"
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment, then softened her tone and asked, "What are you going out to do?"
Seeing that he made no mention of what happened last night, Yuejia's anger, which had subsided, began to rekindle.
He remained silent for a moment, then coldly uttered two words: "Murder."
Jiang Xiyu looked into his red eyes and knew he was still angry.
He hesitated for a moment before giving Yuejia a gentle smile and saying, "No."
Yuejia's chest heaved as he stared at Jiang Xiyu, his hands clenching into fists.
A vague sense of jealousy and anxiety made him want to take direct action against Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu had already walked to his side and coaxed, "Don't be angry. I'll apologize to you. You can have as much merit as you want."
Yuejia maintained a cold expression, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge him.
Jiang Xiyu was at a loss and didn't know how to please him.
Seeing that he was silent, Yuejia's expression worsened. Just as she was about to tell Jiang Xiyu that she wanted to leave, she turned around and saw that the person who had been beside her had disappeared.
In an instant, his brows and eyes turned frosty, and his gaze became sinister.
Until suddenly a slight tug came from the hem of her skirt.
Yuejia looked down and saw a white cat standing up with its fluffy tail and rubbing its head against him.
His golden pupils didn't blink, and they carried a fawning look.
Even though Yuejia knew that Jiang Xiyu's true form was a cat, this was the first time he had ever seen Jiang Xiyu revert to his original form in front of him.
His eyes opened slightly, showing some surprise and confusion.
Jiang Xiyu squatted down, put her paws together, and looked at him in a pleading manner, her expression very honest and cute.
"Meow~"
Don't be angry anymore.
