Chapter 10: Rumors

Zhuo Xingchen drank the tea in his hand as if it was wine, and then raised his eyes and looked at me.

"Miss Chu, I know, because of Mei'er?" Before he could finish his sentence, I frowned.

I looked at Zhuo Xingchen's face and said, "You don't deserve to mention Mei'er's name." ”

"I'm not worthy, but I still have to tell you that my senior brother has never been kind to women." He hesitated for a long time before saying this.

I thought it was funny: "Your senior brother, aren't you not kind to women? ”

"In Shengjing, it is always rumored that my senior brother is?" Zhuo Xingchen seemed to be speechless.

I thought about it carefully, and what he wanted to say was that it was rumored in Shengjing that Xiao Ce was inhumane and physically disabled.

"Actually, my senior brother, there are a lot of women who have brought back to the villa, but none of them came out alive, so no one knows." When Zhuo Xingchen said this, he paused and looked at me.

I know that he told me this to let me know clearly that Xiao Ce's "woman" is not so easy to be, and he may lose his life, not necessarily.

"Thank you Zhuo Vice Zuo for reminding me, but if it's okay, you can go back." I finished and stood up.

"Miss Chu, think twice!" Zhuo Xingchen looked at me with a solemn face.

I just smiled faintly at him, and immediately walked towards Bai Qing.

Bai Qing led me back to the upstairs guest room.

As soon as he entered the guest room, Bai Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Sunset, the High Priest and you?" Bai Qing looked at me, and his eyes were also speculating about something.

"I have nothing to do with him." I said immediately.

Bai Qing nodded: "It's just, it's rare to see High Priest Xiao, who can treat people so gently, especially women, the little one is in the palace, and I have heard a lot of "interesting stories" about High Priest Xiao." ”

The "anecdotes" in Bai Qing's mouth must also be rumors such as Xiao Ce's physical disability.

However, looking at Xiao Ce, tall and domineering, he really doesn't look like a person with physical deficiencies at all.

I think it should be as Zhuo Xingchen said, Xiao Ce has a lot of women, but she didn't leave a living mouth "afterwards".

When you think about it, it's more terrible than a mutilation.

"Miss Sunset?" Bai Qing saw that my face was solemn, so he called me.

I came back to my senses and looked at him: "Bai Qing, don't worry, I will be cautious when I get along with him." ”

Bai Qing nodded: "Miss Xiyan, I also blame me for being soft-spoken, otherwise, you don't have to go this time." ”

"Bai Qing, you have done a very good job, after all, that is the daughter of the Taifu Mansion, and you can't afford to offend." I said and poured Bai Qing a cup of tea: "Take care of me, you have also suffered a lot." ”

"Eh, Miss Sunset, these are small things to do, you don't have to." As soon as he finished speaking, I heard footsteps in the cloister outside.

Immediately after, the door to the guest room was pushed open from the outside.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurriedly strode in from outside, wearing a white robe and showing a panicked face.

When he saw me, he immediately came over and looked me from head to toe, and then his sword eyebrows condensed slightly, and asked, "Xiyan, are you okay?" So Zhuo Xinyue embarrassed you? ”

"Nope." I immediately shook my head, and looked sideways at Bai Qing, presumably Bai Qing sent someone to inform His Highness. make

His Royal Highness took my hand, and then said guiltily: "Xiyan, I didn't protect you thoroughly, I didn't expect that Zhuo Xinyue would find here." ”

When His Royal Highness talked about Zhuo Xinyue, his expression was extremely solemn.

"Your Highness, Miss Na Zhuo, didn't do anything to me, just invited me to watch the play." I finished and withdrew my hand.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stunned, with a lonely look on his face.

"Your Highness, you are in a hurry, and you haven't eaten yet, have you? The minions will arrange it. Bai Qing immediately withdrew from the house.

I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sit down, and the two official envoys outside the door immediately brought tea and snacks.

"Are you still used to living here?" He looked at me and asked softly.

I nodded: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, it's very good here." ”

"Don't be so polite to me." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned.

"Yes." I bowed slightly.

He sighed lightly, but then said in a cheerful tone: "Xiyan, my father, agreed!" ”

"What?" I looked up at him, and for a moment, my mind didn't turn a corner.

"My father, the emperor, has promised me to marry the crown princess!" After His Royal Highness finished speaking, he held my hand again: "Xiyan, if you are by my side in the future, I will be able to protect you at all times." ”

"Your Highness?" I looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in amazement.

He is the crown prince today, and he will inherit the unification in the future and become the emperor of Tiancong, why did his father allow him to marry a folk woman?

I lowered my eyes, thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought that the current emperor does not like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if His Royal Highness just marries a folk woman as the crown princess, then snobbery will be even thinner.

"Your Highness, I won't be your crown princess, I've already been married, you know this." I frowned and looked at His Highness very seriously.

"I said that if you don't want to, I won't persecute you, but now, I can only protect you if I keep you by my side." In his pale face, there was a touch of earnestness: "It's a game, you play my crown princess, when you save it, you want to save the person you want, you?" ”

He lowered his eyes and didn't continue.

"Your Highness, can I be your palace maid, or?" I thought.

"Xiyan, you have entered the palace, you should know that in the palace, how those palace slaves live, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, not to mention, you still want to save them, don't you? If you are the crown princess, then many troubles can be saved. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, and then stared at me.

I couldn't make eye contact with his affectionate gaze, and I couldn't accept his offer.

"That big python called floating is about to be transferred to the priest in the palace." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly spoke.

"What? Why? Why was it transferred to the priest in the palace? "I don't understand.

"Since it is skinned and put into medicine, the big python has no inner pill, and for the priest, it has no other role except for medicine." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked solemn: "Xiyan, I don't want to take advantage of others, and I don't want to force you, I just want to help you." ”

"Medication?" His Highness said a lot of words, and in my mind, there were only these two words, constantly wandering.

"Xiyan?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that I was stunned, so he opened his mouth and called me.

"As long as I promise, you can guarantee that you can save the floater?" I stared at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and my ears felt like I had tinnitus.

"I promise you, I will let the Heavenly Master give him to us as a congratulatory gift for my newlywed." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to me very seriously.
