BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128 - 128: Cold Jade Token
If she could adhere to the law and truly bring those of ill intent to justice, then she would indeed be an unparalleled exceptional woman in the world.
Liang Jin hoped to witness such an admirable woman in his lifetime.
After all, treating women fairly wasn’t truly a commonplace occurrence in this world.
Liang Jin’s words spurred deep reflection. Su Yingxue found herself pondering, perhaps she had been too impulsive.
From now on, she would have to be more cautious in the future.
Lost in thought, she failed to notice her surroundings and suddenly collided with an unexpected obstacle.
“Hiss…”
Rubbing her head, she looked up and saw Chu Yihan in his resplendent purple-gold robe.
His handsome features and enigmatic eyes were captivating in every way.
Once again, she found herself entranced by his countenance.
“Get in the carriage.”
Chu Yihan skillfully guided her into the carriage of the prince’s mansion.
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but mutter, “Your Highness, are you planning to level the Capital Prefecture city? Isn’t this a bit domineering?”
Chu Yihan held Su Yingxue’s jade pendant, and a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. “If the Minister’s Estate has vexed you to such an extent, I could obliterate it first.”
Su Yingxue was rendered speechless.
That was too terrifying.
However, his words were heartwarming.
In Chu Yihan’s presence, Su Yingxue playfully pouted and retorted, “Lord Liang reminded me not to be so impulsive in barging into the residence. There are better ways to deal with people.”
Chu Yihan ruffled her hair. “That makes sense.”
“Your Highness, how do you think I could have saved Sister Jinyan in that situation?”
Su Yingxue felt relaxed in front of Chu Yihan, so she started chatting with him.
Chu Yihan retrieved a jade pendant from his waist. It was an intricately carved token made of cold jade, which he handed to Su Yingxue. “If you had held this at the time, you could have entered the Minister’s Estate openly, taken Wu Jinyan away, and no one in the Minister’s Estate would have dared to object.”
Su Yingxue played with the token. The cold jade was pure white but had an effect contrary to its name, it emanated warmth.
“What is this? Can it intimidate the people of the Minister’s Estate?”
“It’s my royal token.”
Su Yingxue was shocked.
She held the cold jade in her hands and extended it toward Chu Yihan. “Your Highness, you should put it away quickly.”
Chu Yihan showed no intention of retrieving it. “Things I bestow are not meant to be taken back.”
Su Yingxue was filled with bewilderment. When did it turn into a gift?
She promptly handed it back to Chu Yihan. “Your Highness, 1 haven’t said I want to accept it.”
Chu Yihan pulled her into his arms and put the cold jade around her neck. The cold jade, upon contact, emitted warmth that gradually spread, causing her heart to race.
“Your Highness, this isn’t…”
“If you don’t accept it, I’ll take you back to the mansion.”
“I accept!”
Su Yingxue shrunk her neck. She was terrified!
Taking a token was much easier than being brought back to the residence by Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan nodded. “Next time you encounter any trouble or wish to enter any place, just show this token. No one will obstruct you.”
Touching the cold jade on her chest, Su Yingxue sensed that Chu Yihan was conveying, “Feel free to cause a ruckus, 1 will indulge you.”
As a result, she ventured hesitantly, “Could 1 barge into the palace?”
Chu Yihan didn’t immediately respond, instead pressing his lips together.
In moments of silence, his imposing presence weighed heavily upon the atmosphere. Su Yingxue grumbled inwardly that she had indeed overthought things.
However, Chu Yihan pinched her delicate nose and reminded her, “You’re forbidden from barging into the Imperial Brother’s chambers. As for other places, do as you please.”
Su Yingxue was left bewildered.
There was always light at the end of the tunnel..
