Chapter 440: The Storm Rises (12)
Mo Chen looked at Xia Qing, who was kneeling there with her head bowed and looking pitiful, since Cheng Qing revealed her identity just now, this guy has maintained this posture and has not changed.
Maybe she's trying to excuse herself, but it's definitely not exculpable if she goes on like this.
Who would believe that you are innocent just by keeping your head down and not speaking?
There were countless reasons in Mochen's head that could help Xia Qing exonerate, but he didn't plan to say it. He wanted to see if this guy, who had always been confused and looked like he was living in a dream, could escape this crisis on his own.
"What stupid or not....... Your Majesty, you really misunderstood the slave maid........ the slave maid is a simple dancer, and it is impossible to know His Royal Highness King Rui. ”
"So far, do you still want to play stupid?"
Cheng Qing rubbed his temples with a headache. Compared with just now, the thorns all over his body are gone, and he has become gentle, but this gentleness still makes people's scalp tingle.
"Looks like I'll have to find someone to pry your mouth open. ”
As soon as Xia Qing heard that someone was looking to pry her mouth open, she was in good spirits, and she looked at Cheng Qing's face in horror, but he looked serious, not like he was joking at all.
"It's not...... The emperor has something to say........"
She blinked and looked at Cheng Qing's face pitifully. Cheng Qing obviously won't be fooled by Xia Qing's trick, beauty, he has seen a lot.
"Don't look at me like that, I won't eat you, I'll give you another chance, if you don't tell the truth, I have a way to make you open your mouth today. ”
Facts have proved that Cheng Qing's threat is still very effective. Xia Qing's heart had already begun to waver. She bit her lower lip tightly, hoping that she could hold back and not say it, but Cheng Qing's eyes were so terrifying that she didn't even dare to look up at him.
"Since you are not the person of King Rui, then don't embarrass this ugly girl. ”
Cheng Hua's voice suddenly sounded, almost like a savior. It made her heart settle down a little at once.
When she turned around, Cheng Hua didn't look at her, but looked at Cheng Qing. The eyes are focused and determined.
"I just need a little girl to help me do things. I think this ugly girl is quite suitable. ”
"What qualifications do you have to ask for someone from me?"
Cheng Qing sneered at Cheng Hua as if he had heard some funny joke.
His sneer was cold and thorough, cold to his eyes, cold to his bones. made Xia Qing, the person watching from the side, unconsciously start to break out in a cold sweat. It's as if I've really done something hurtful.
"Cheng Qing, I know you hate me. You should hate me. But now, it's not the same as it used to be. You're already the emperor, and I'm just an old woman who has lived in the palace for a long time, so I can't pose any threat to you. What are you afraid of me?"
"There's no threat, Princess Chenghua, you really know how to say it well. I didn't rely on you to sit in this position, it was all my own efforts, when you held the sword against my neck and planned to solve me with a knife at any time, you didn't talk to me as eloquently as you do today. You didn't even ask me if I wanted to die, and you decided my life and death. As you can see, I'm doing well now. But none of this is your business. It doesn't matter at all. ”
Cheng Qing's words were undoubtedly like a sharp knife, stabbing Cheng Hua's heartache.
Even in the past, she did a lot of wrong things, she did think that Cheng Qing would not be so painful, it would be better to kill him with a knife. But at that time, she immediately regretted it and didn't do it. But what she didn't expect was that this incident would leave such a terrible memory for Cheng Qing, causing him to be afraid of her all the time, so scared that he didn't want to see her or have any contact with her.
She regretted it. From a very early age, I already regretted it.
Regret for what she did before, for everything she did for her son.
"No matter what you think of me, but today, I have to take this girl away. ”
Cheng Huaqiang endured the sadness in his heart and returned to his former strong appearance.
"What do you like about this stupid girl, and make you want to take her so much?"
Cheng Qing suddenly squatted down, so frightened that Xia Qing's whole person retreated.
"I won't eat your ........ again"
Cheng Qing said, reaching out and lifting Xia Qing's chin.
"Ah......h
Xia Qing was so frightened that she screamed.
"The Emperor's ......"
Mo Chen, who was standing beside the prime minister, couldn't help it.
He took a long step forward, intending to go over to rescue Xia Qing, who looked helpless.
"What are you doing!"
The prime minister frowned and grabbed Mochen.
"She's uncomfortable right now!"
Mo Chen pointed at Xia Qing's embarrassed expression at the moment. He originally wanted to let this little girl take care of it herself, and he didn't help her this time. But seeing her so uncomfortable, he couldn't ignore her.
"What's the matter with you? Mochen, you've always been a very calm child. What's going on today? It's the second time it's such an impulse, isn't it?"
The first time, when Xia Qing was called by Cheng Qing and asked her to go up, Mochen also looked very nervous.
"I can't leave her alone. She can't be fine. Not at all. ”
Mo Chen frowned, his face full of worry.
"It's just a little dancer, what are you nervous about?"
The prime minister obviously didn't know the entanglement between Mochen and Xia Qing, he only knew that the dancing girl was the person sent by King Rui at first glance. Cheng Qing, this guy is fine, it is impossible to hold on to a subordinate, it will become like today, most likely because he has already caught the evidence of this dancer's identity.
"I didn't stress her ........"
Mo Chen's brows tightened the tighter and tighter. He tore away the prime minister's hand,
"But I can't let her be there. ”
As he spoke, he was going to leave again.
"Come back. ”
This time, the prime minister's voice was very serious.
He did stop Mo Chen.
Mochen straightened his back and stood there neither looking back nor forward.
"Remember what you're here for today. What will be the result of such a show, you should be clear. ”
The Prime Minister's words were so beautiful that Mo Chen was speechless for a moment.
Today, he is indeed not an identity that can come forward.
His identity really doesn't allow him to show his head. He should hide behind the prime minister and be a transparent person.
"But I can't ......... it"
"Your Majesty. I must take this girl with me today. ”
At the moment when Mochen had already made up his mind to help Xia Qing, Cheng Hua spoke.
She stood there, her eyes motionless as she looked at Cheng Qing's half-squatting body on the ground, without even a smile on her lips.
"No matter what you think, I'm going to take her today. ”
