Chapter 43 - Origin (2)

 Zhao Yujiao leaned over to pick up the jade plate and looked at it carefully.

This jade plaque is translucent and can be seen as an extraordinary product. A delicate "Yan" character is engraved on the lower right side of the jade plaque. When you turn it over, you will see a big "Pei" character.

Zhao Yujiao suddenly thought that after the death of the old Prince Qing, there was only one prince left in the Qing Palace, Pei Xiuyan.

In order to save the Qing Palace, Pei Xiuyan tried his best to please the crown prince, Pei Ye, and served him at his side. Ye Jin once said that the young Qing Prince Pei Xiuyan not only knows current affairs but also knows how to advance and retreat. He will definitely be able to revive the Qing Palace in the future!

She squatted down and took a closer look at the face of the unconscious soldier. She found that he had handsome features and delicate skin, unlike a soldier who was exposed to the wind and sun all year round. He was just taller than an ordinary teenager, but he was actually not very old. He was about the same age as the young Qing Prince Pei Xiuyan, that everyone said.

Her heart was pounding.

Is this soldier the young Qing Prince Pei Xiuyan?

Just as Zhao Yujiao was daydreaming, Ye Chuyan's excited voice came over: "Found it, found it!"

Zhao Yujiao hurriedly put away the jade waist plate in her hand.

Ye Chuyan's hair was messy, and she held a crimson withered grass in her hand and rushed to Zhao Yujiao with a proud face.

"This is it! I just saw the poisonous snake and followed it to its nest. I found this next to its nest."

Ye Chuyan took a bite of the crimson grass, chewed it, and spit it out, covering the soldier's hand. The black blood on the soldier's hand was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the colour of his lips began to return to normal.

Ye Chuyan grinned at Zhao Yujiao, "Sister Yujiao, I'm awesome! I saved this soldier, and my father will definitely praise me when he knows it later."

After saying that, she thought of Wu Mu again and couldn't help but smile more deeply. "Xiao Mu will definitely not dare say that I can't do anything. I saved a soldier from Dafeng today."

Zhao Yujiao saw that the soldier was slowly waking up, and a bold and terrible idea came to her mind. If Ye Chuyan died, she would be the one who saved the little Qing king. As long as she became the lifesaver of the Qing King, she would have one more person to rely on in the future. If she could make the little Qing King fall in love with her, it would be just around the corner for her to become the Qing King's concubine.

The more Zhao Yujiao thought about it, the more excited she became, and her eyes gradually became fanatical. She looked up at the cliff behind Ye Chuyan and smiled strangely.

However, Ye Chuyan didn't see these expressions of Zhao Yujiao. She was immersed in the excitement of going back to show off to Wu Mu.

"Ayan, listen? There seems to be a sound at the edge of the cliff. Will there be poisonous snakes under the cliff?" Zhao Yujiao suddenly trembled.

Ye Chuyan glanced at the edge of the cliff and listened carefully. "No, there is no sound."

Zhao Yujiao grabbed Ye Chuyan's sleeve tightly and was about to cry. "Ayan, I'm scared; can you go and take a look?"

Ye Chuyan couldn't bear to see Zhao Yujiao crying, and when she saw her about to cry, she hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't cry; I'll go and take a look."

Ye Chuyan raised her foot and walked towards the edge of the cliff, and Zhao Yujiao followed behind with a slight tremor.

Ye Chuyan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. "There is really no sound."

"Ayan, take another look."

Ye Chuyan took another step forward. The cliff was extremely steep, and there was no strange sound below. There was indeed nothing.

"Sister Yujiao, there is really nothing..." Ye Chuyan didn't finish her words, and someone suddenly pushed her back hard, and she fell off the cliff unexpectedly.

She was sad and horrified during the fall. Why did Sister Yujiao hurt her?

She hit the surface of the glacier heavily and fell into the glacier. The icy water rushed into her ears, nose, and mouth impatiently. The biting cold water made her body stiff. She wanted to struggle, but her limbs sank uncontrollably. When she was about to sink to the bottom of the river, a voice in her mind shouted, can't die! Can't die!

Once she died, Daddy and Mother would be very sad. She couldn't show off to Xiao Mu that she saved people. And Zhao Yujiao killed her. Daddy must know about it and drive her out of the Ye family!

She didn't know where the huge power came from. Her hands and feet paddled wildly and swam towards the bright hole on the ice.

Finally, she swam to the hole. She floated her upper body out of the water, climbed out with the last bit of strength, lay on the ice, and curled up together. She had run out of strength. At this time, the temperature of her body was rapidly dropping, her limbs were completely stiff, and her consciousness began to fade.

"Heh... How interesting!" A teasing and crisp voice came.

Ye Chuyan tried to open her eyes and looked up at a strange white-faced boy. His left eye has a black double pupil, and his right eye has an emerald double pupil. He was dressed in black and had a strange smile on his lips. He didn't look like a human at all.

She laughed at herself in her heart: I am dead after all; otherwise, how could I see the hell demon here?

The white-faced boy leaned over and patted Ye Chuyan's face, sighing, "You are so lucky that you are not dead!"

He used great force, and even though Ye Chuyan's face was numb from the cold, she could still feel the pain. If she could feel the pain, it meant she was not dead.

She opened her mouth with difficulty and asked, "Who are you?"

The white-faced boy crossed his arms around his chest, looked her up and down, and suddenly reached out to touch her neck.

Ye Chuyan was shocked and horrified, but unfortunately, she couldn't move her limbs, so she could only stare at him angrily.

The white-faced boy gently stroked Ye Chuyan's neck, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, "So it's a little girl."

Ye Chuyan's limbs were stiff and unable to move. She watched the white-faced boy drag her feet and drag her into a cave like a dead dog. He leisurely took out a fire starter from his sleeve and found a few hays to light. The cave suddenly became bright, and the cave was slowly filled with warmth.

The boy walked in front of Ye Chuyan and slowly tried to untie the belt of her outer cotton coat. Ye Chuyan glared and scolded, "Stop!"

The white-faced boy sneered, "You will freeze to death if you don't take off your wet clothes."

He stared at Ye Chuyan for a long time, then suddenly smiled strangely. He gave up unbuttoning her cotton coat, grabbed her feet, and took off her wet boots.

Ye Chuyan didn't know where the white-faced boy in front of her came from, but she thought he was acting weird and absurd. She didn't dare to offend him, so she let him take off her boots.

After he took off her boots, he found a small red mole on her ankle, which looked particularly charming and seductive on her white jade-like feet. There was also a jasper anklet on her foot, with three black gold bells hanging from it. He stared at the red mole for a while, his expression becoming more and more complicated. Finally, as if he had discovered something incredible, he took off the anklet and shook it in his hand a few times. He kept sighing, "Interesting, interesting."

Ye Chuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Give it back to me..."

The bell was given to her by Wu Mu. When she first came to the military camp, Wu Mu didn't know she was a girl, and broke into her tent when she was changing clothes. At that time, she was furious but didn't dare to show it, so she drove Wu Mu out.

Afterwards, Wu Mu awkwardly gave her this anklet as a gift and kept saying, "You don't accept the gift and apology; do you want me to take responsibility?"

Wu Mu is one year younger than her, and she doesn't want to marry a naughty brother like Wu Mu, so she decisively accepted the anklet and accepted the apology.

The white-faced boy turned his head and looked at Ye Chuyan; his eyes were cold, and there was a flame jumping in his pupils, which made him look more like a hell demon. "Is this bell important to you?"

Ye Chuyan stared at him and repeated, "Give it back to me!"

The white-faced boy put the anklet into his sleeve; his eyes were flowing, and he smiled: "Little girl, I took the bell on your foot; how about marrying you in the future?"

Ye Chuyan felt that the hair on her body stood up.

Although this white-faced boy was smiling, the depths of his pupils were as cold as ice, as sinister as a venomous snake, and so evil that it made people shudder.

"No!"
