117 For I am afraid
Chu Qingluo sighed and asked Peony, "Didn't you also know that the Eighth Princess proposed to let the Holy Lord reward the Fifth Prince to me?" ”
Peony nodded: "I know, you still rejected the saint at that time." For this reason, she was also impressed by Chu Qingluo's boldness. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Is it because of this that the five princes want to take revenge on you?" ”
"Hell knows." She didn't know why Ji Qili had to pester her.
Next, Chu Qingluo told the details of how Li Yan deceived her, and then how Ji Qili revealed her true face, including the fact that Ji Qiran sent her back to the Chu family.
Although she didn't want to mention Ji Qiran's saving herself, it would be inappropriate for her to make up a white lie to hide the peony.
To tell the truth, Chu Qingluo was worried that Peony would think more about her relationship with Ji Qiran. Just wanted to explain, but heard Peony mutter: "The fifth prince turned out to be this kind of person......
I don't know if Peony deliberately avoided Ji Qiran saving her, but since Peony didn't ask, she was relieved.
"Could it be that I still use this kind of thing to deceive people?"
"And that Li Yan! What a guts! How dare I come to hurt you! ”
"However, in the end, it was so cheap for the two of them."
Speaking of this, Chu Qingluo was still indignant. Not only Ji Qili, but Li Yan must also clean up this guy herself! She slapped the table and said, "It's ridiculous that you don't take revenge!" ”
"Huh?" Peony didn't hear clearly.
"Where is Li Yan's house now?"
"I didn't come today, I said I was sick, and I definitely didn't dare to come."
"You can't just let them go."
Seeing a trace of ruthlessness flashing in Chu Qingluo's eyes, Peony immediately stepped forward and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Chu Qingluo told Peony about his revenge plan. After hearing this, Peony stared at her and asked, "It's that simple?!" ”
"That's right! It's that simple! ”
"When will you do it?"
"Don't worry, I'm going to ask the empress for guilt first."
"Plead again?"
"It's not that Li Yan yet! She's from my Guangrentang, and if something ugly happened to her, I still have to ask for guilt?! ”
"That's right." Peony nodded, sympathetic.
……
Fortunately, Chu Qingluo was not implicated in this incident.
When she asked the empress for her guilt, the empress did not blame her for disciplining her subordinates, but looked at her with a sudden realization, saying that she finally understood why she had to refuse the gift of the five princes at that time.
Chu Qingluo guessed that the empress must have thought that she knew the relationship between Li Yan and Ji Qili before refusing the reward, so she took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, saying that she really couldn't bear to break up the relationship between the two. The empress also praised her for this, and Chu Qingluo was secretly happy in her heart. Ji Qili's hot potato will not be thrown into her hands again no matter what.
Coming out of Fengluan Palace, Chu Qingluo hesitated to go to Ji Qiran to thank him, after all, he saved himself. But for some reason, her feet were like lead, and her steps were unusually heavy, as if she was afraid, afraid to meet him.
She herself couldn't tell where this panic came from.
……
On the other side, inside the Library Pavilion.
Ji Qiran was obediently sitting at the table copying a thousand-word text.
Chu Yilin whistled, walked over leisurely, and asked, "How did you copy it?" ”
Ji Qiran glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, come and help me copy it." After saying that, he continued to bow his head and write hard.
"How's that going to work?!" Chu Yilin lamented: "I really want to help you, but if you are discovered by the saint, you will be miserable." ”
"Then why are you here?!" Ji Qiran couldn't help but look up at him again. I saw Chu Yilin dressed in a lake-blue robe, neat and clean, leisurely and abnormal. Look down at yourself again...... There was ink everywhere on his body and hands, and he suddenly became angry: "It's okay to get out of here, so that I don't have to worry about seeing you." ”
"Something!" Chu Yilin smiled evilly: "Of course there is something!" ”
Seeing his bad look, Ji Qiran suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want?" ”
Chu Yilin didn't say anything, just smiled wickedly, clenched his right hand into a fist, and hit it a few times on the palm of his left hand.
Ji Qiran instantly understood, hooked his lips and smiled.
Just when the two were discussing hotly, Chu Qingluo also arrived.
Ji Qiran and Chu Yilin were taken aback, or Chu Yilin reacted first: "The third sister is here?" ”
Chu Qingluo saw that Chu Yilin was also there, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Second brother is also there." ”
Chu Yilin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm about to leave, you guys have something to talk about slowly." As soon as he finished speaking, he stumbled and disappeared.
Ji Qiran looked at her without saying a word, which made Chu Qingluo even more nervous. Suddenly, even his hands were so embarrassed that he had nowhere to put them, so he had to play with his fingers uneasily.
No ...... in days Although he saved her yesterday, she was in a state of fainting at the time, so she should not have seen her for many days. The contours of Ji Qiran's face seemed to be more manly and three-dimensional, even though his cheeks were still stained with ink, it did not affect the bright light in his bright eyes at all.
God is still extremely partial to him, even if they don't have a chance.
Seeing Chu Qingluo's wandering thousands of miles, Ji Qiran spoke first: "I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me." ”
"That...... Thank you for saving me. She came back to her senses, a little embarrassed.
Seeing her thanks, Ji Qiran sighed, and pretended to continue writing.
Chu Qingluo pursed her lips, adjusted her breathing, and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?" ”
Ji Qiran raised his eyebrows slightly, chuckled, and said, "Because I have a heart with you, I knew that something happened to you, so I hurried to save you." As a result, he also had a fight with the fifth brother, but fortunately he won. After saying that, he also covered his abdomen with his hands, indicating that he was very hurt.
The corners of Chu Qingluo's mouth moved, and he couldn't help but smile. "Can you be serious?"
"You don't believe that, do you?"
Seeing that she didn't squeak, Ji Qiran shrugged: "Okay then." He planned to say it another way: "What happened was that I went to find the fifth brother, and I happened to bump into him plotting against you, so Li Yan was guarding the door for him, indicating that he was also in the same group." So I knocked them both unconscious, took off my clothes and put them together, and took you and Mika with me. ”
Ji Qiran didn't tell her, in fact, he went to find her on purpose.
“…… Take away the incense? Chu Qingluo suddenly realized, no wonder no one investigated the matter of Mixiang.
"Well, then the fifth brother has no excuse to shirk."
"Why don't you directly expose the crimes of the five princes to the Holy Lord?" Chu Qingluo also thought about his reasons for doing this, but he still wanted to ask.
He met her eyes and said, "Because I'm afraid." I am afraid that in order to save the face of the royal family, the Holy Lord will make a mistake and give him to your subordinates. (To be continued.) )
