Volume 1: Painting Tang Chun Chapter 10: This King and You Have Never Met
As soon as Qingxi's words fell, the other party's laughter gradually rose, hearty and happy.
"Miss Ling knows that calling the prince by his name is considered disrespectful."
The corners of Qingxi's mouth twitched slightly and then rose up, not only was she not afraid at all, but she had a joy that she couldn't hide, because she guessed correctly: "Your Highness just said that no matter what happens tonight, I will treat it as if I don't know." Therefore, the great disrespect is naturally gone. ”
Xiao Yizheng raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qingxi more carefully, turned around and sat down again, but did not speak again.
His mind was confused for a moment, and his inexplicable intuition told him that this Ling girl's rash appearance might change some things. But it was clear that she didn't know it yet. If she is shrewd, she trusts a stranger so unreservedly when she is held hostage by herself; If she is dull, she can quickly and correctly judge her identity just by talking and observing; If she is said to be fearless, there is also a helpless panic in her eyes that she has to hide; If she is said to be cowardly, she doesn't seem to be worried about being in the same room with a strange man, even if she knows her identity, she doesn't let an inch between her words and conversations, which is really interesting.
But in the current situation, he must sort out the clues and make proper arrangements.
Qingxi saw that he was silent for a long time, and then he became a little timid again, and once again remembered that he was in the dead of night, in an inaccessible place, and the fear that he had to suppress began to come out. "Your Highness, I'm afraid no one will come looking for me tonight. You have a noble status, you shouldn't have to wait until tomorrow morning to be found, right? She asked in a low voice.
Xiao Yizheng raised his head slightly, and shook his head slightly: "It won't be so fast." ”
Qingxi then remembered that just now at Shen Tong's place, an attendant came to report that the prince and the imperial brother had a good conversation, and they were afraid to stay overnight. And the scene of brotherhood has become a dark night dilemma at this time. What does this mean? What are the crown prince and this sixth highness plotting?
She was once again keenly aware that what happened tonight was definitely not simple, and she was afraid that she had been caught up in a storm. Thinking of this, she subconsciously clenched her body with her arms, and her body was already trembling.
"Miss Ling, this king has some questions, please answer them truthfully." Xiao Yizheng's voice sounded again, serious and serious.
Qingxi stabilized her mind, raised her eyes and looked directly at the other party, and she didn't know where the courage and stubbornness came from, she replied: "What Your Highness wants to ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything." It's just that His Highness's way of questioning sitting on the ground is a little indecent. ”
Xiao Yizheng looked up at Qingxi with a slight smile again, obviously panicking, but he still didn't give an inch. "I'm afraid that the girl's temperament will suffer." He stood up as he spoke, and said with a straight face: "Miss Ling was really led here by a wild cat?" ”
"Yes." Qingxi replied happily.
"Why isn't anyone looking for you tonight?"
"I was talking to the crown princess. The crown princess wanted me to stay overnight, so she sent someone to inform my father. But after all, it was inconvenient, so I went back to my accommodation alone. So now whether it's the crown princess or my father, they all think I'm in the other party's place, how can anyone come to look for me? ”
"Are you sure you're back at your residence?" Xiao Yizheng asked.
Qingxi thought about it, and just happened to meet his father's attendant on the way back, so the other party would definitely reply that he was about to return to his residence. "It should be sure."
Xiao Yizheng nodded, paced back and forth a few steps, stood still in front of Qingxi, softened his tone a little, and said slowly: "Miss Ling, please listen to what I say next." At night, someone will come looking for me. The girl went to the crown princess first, and then returned to Lord Ling after dawn. Remember, you're with the crown princess tonight, and you're not going anywhere. As for the rhetoric of the crown princess, you don't need to worry, this king will arrange it. Remember, you can't tell anyone about tonight, including your father. ”
Qingxi didn't give an immediate response, she felt that she should carefully analyze the situation tonight, but now she didn't have the time and ability to do so, and she could only accept the arrangements made by Xiao Yizheng. In any case, she believed that the Sixth Highness in front of her was not malicious, although her attitude owed a little kindness. "What if the crown princess asks?" After a while, she asked this sentence.
"Don't worry, she won't ask anything. You can't mention anything! Xiao Yizheng's answer was categorical.
"Okay." Qingxi also responded happily. Saying a good word, she felt as if the matter was settled, at least for now, but she was a little more relaxed, and turned her head slightly to look out the window at the moonlight. The moonlight is boundless, spreading over the hills, gentle and affectionate, such a good night, but it is such a scene, but it is a pity, she unconsciously sighed lowly.
It was this almost inaudible low sigh that made Xiao Yizheng frown. He judged that Ling Qingxi should be able to deal with this matter calmly, but what did this sigh represent? If her accident leads to any more accidents, things will be even more complicated. So, he added in a softer tone, "Miss Ling, don't worry. All the people and things tonight have nothing to do with you. ”
Qingxi turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully: "That is, His Highness and I are still unknown passers-by." ”
Xiao Yizheng was suffocated for a while, it seems that she is not like this because of fear. "The girl is smart, that's exactly what she is. This king and you have never met. ”
