Chapter 194 Chapter 194 The Abducted Girl
After sending Wen Yao and Wen Song away, before Lu Hong could close the door, Feng Wen's attendant came to the door. said that Feng Wen and several Jiangling students wanted to get together together, and specially asked Lu Hong to go too. Lu Hong just wanted to congratulate Feng Wen and Liao Wenbo, both of whom had entered the top ten in the first class, so he changed his clothes and went out.
Although Lu Hong went out, Huo Qingsong had no intention of leaving. Huo Qingqing glanced at Huo Qingsong secretly, and then pulled Chaoxia to the West Cross Courtyard, wanting to have ice cubes to make other shapes. Chaoxia didn't shirk, and she also knew that Lu Xiang'er would marry into the General's Mansion sooner or later, so it would be beneficial for the two to get along more before that.
Only Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong were left in the room, but Lu Xiang'er was not chatting casually like before, and sat a little stiffly without saying a word. Huo Qingsong saw Lu Xiang'er's appearance before and after, and his mouth pursed slightly to form a slender slit, and he seemed to be a little displeased. But as if he was angry, he didn't say a word, just looked at the charcoal brazier on the ground and didn't move.
Lu Xiang'er was a little dazed at first, but it took a while to realize that Huo Qingsong was angry. After rolling her eyes a few times, Lu Xiang'er still couldn't figure out why Huo Qingsong was suddenly angry. But her mood suddenly relaxed, and Lu Xiang'er's heart suddenly had a strange thought that made her blush. Thinking of everything Huo Qingsong had done to her, Lu Xiang'er couldn't stop her face from heating up more and more.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet." Lu Xiang'er stabilized her mind and walked briskly to Huo Qingsong's side and sat down. With the cunning flashing in her eyes, Lu Xiang'er also leaned forward and approached Huo Qingsong.
Huo Qingsong may have felt the breath coming from Lu Xiang'er's body, and his body suddenly stiffened, but he didn't turn around, but said in a low voice: "It's just a coincidence." β
"Oh?" Lu Xiang'er looked up at Huo Qingsong, but suddenly found that his face seemed to have changed. With this discovery, Lu Xiang'er was a little excited in her heart, and she approached Huo Qingsong a little closer, and said softly: "Then if it weren't for that token, you wouldn't have appeared?" β
"Dare to ask the future lady, are you flirting with your husband?" Huo Qingsong was silent for a while, then slowly turned around. A certain heart-beating light flashed in his eyes, coupled with the gradually rising temperature around him, Lu Xiang'er was immediately startled, and hurriedly got up and returned to the chair she had just sat on.
Away from Huo Qingsong, the ambiguous atmosphere slowly descended. Lu Xiang'er's heart slowly calmed down. At this time, Lu Xiang'er remembered that when Huo Qingsong faced outsiders, he looked like a stranger. But facing her alone, they are two diametrically opposed people. Lu Xiang'er was annoyed that she had lost her soul to tease him, and at the same time peeked at him, afraid that he would do something in excitement.
Seeing that Huo Qingsong didn't make any moves, and his strange gaze was also retracted, Lu Xiang'er felt slightly relieved. Then, Lu Xiang'er once again remembered her actions just now, as well as Huo Qingsong's reaction. I don't know what I thought, Lu Xiang'er lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised, smiling very happily.
Unbeknownst to her, General Huo didn't look at Lu Xiang'er, but he kept paying attention to her. Looking at Lu Xiang'er's 'smug and secretly happy' appearance, Huo Qingsong immediately remembered today's incident with some annoyance. He is very much looking forward to one day, recovering this account from Lu Xiang'er with interest. Thinking of the scene of 'begging for debts', Huo Qingsong's heart was relieved again.
Lu Xiang'er didn't know what Huo Qingsong was thinking, but she felt that the look in his eyes was very strange. Lu Xiang'er, who felt a little inappropriate in her heart, asked out loud: "What are you thinking, what's weird?" β
Huo Qingsong was willing to say what was on his mind, and after straightening his mind, he said something else: "Did you eat with your grandfather and the loyal and brave prince that day?" β
"yes. Now that I think about it, I can't think of how King Chung Yong could sit at a table with the three of us and eat a hot pot. Lu Xiang'er thought that she had spit out almonds in front of King Zhongyong, and her face was a little hot.
Huo Qingsong saw Lu Xiang'er's shy appearance, looked away a little unnaturally, and said softly: "There is one thing you may not know, after General Li Luo and Mrs. Li saw Chaoxia that day, Mrs. Li fell ill when she returned to the mansion. Mrs. Li kept thinking about her abducted daughter, saying that she was Chaoxia. β
"Huh?" When Lu Xiang'er heard Huo Qingsong say this, she was stunned. She knew from Wen Yao that there was a granddaughter in the Zhongyong Palace, who was abducted after she was engaged to the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin. But today, I heard that Chaoxia was the 'granddaughter', which obviously surprised Lu Xiang'er too much.
Huo Qingsong glanced at Lu Xiang'er, and then said softly: "That girl's name is Li Qingyu, and she was only one year old when she was abducted, but Mrs. Li has always believed that Chaoxia is Li Qingyu. If it weren't for the Zhongyong prince to stop her, Mrs. Li would have come to the door a long time ago. β
"What do you mean, that day, King Zhongyong wanted to come and see Sister Chaoxia in person to see if she was Li Qingyu?" Lu Xiang'er suddenly thought of Li Wenhao, if Chaoxia is really Li Qingyu, then she and Li Wenhao have become brother and sister. No wonder, Li Wenhao has not been seen these days, maybe he just knew the news.
Huo Qingsong saw that Lu Xiang'er was a little distracted, his face turned cold, he got up and walked to Lu Xiang'er and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "There are some things that are inconvenient to tell you." I can only tell you one thing, whether Chaoxia is Li Qingyu or not, the Zhongyong Palace's Mansion needs a 'Li Qingyu' at this time. Li Qingyu can be anyone, and Chaoxia is the best choice. β
Listening to Huo Qingsong's profound words, Lu Xiang'er was stunned again. Li Qingyu is the fiancΓ©e of His Royal Highness who has been married since childhood, if Chaoxia is Li Qingyu, she will be with Zhao Chengmin. This is great news for Chaoxia, but can you not care about the things behind it.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er looked at Huo Qingsong again, and Huo Qingsong seemed to understand what Lu Xiang'er meant. When he was about to speak, Huo Qingqing's voice came from outside, and Huo Qingsong didn't say anything, and said: "Three days later, Brother Hong's martial arts examination will determine the top eight people." My grandfather will take this opportunity to feast King Zhongyong, and you'd better let Chaoxia decide what happened that day. β
As soon as the words fell, Huo Qingqing and Chaoxia entered the house. Looking at the expressions of the two, they obviously didn't feel the cold, and they had a lot of fun. Lu Xiang'er had just finished listening to Chaoxia, and when she saw Chaoxia at this time, her expression was a little different. Chaoxia found that Lu Xiang'er's expression was wrong, and she felt a little strange in her heart. Looking at Huo Qingsong's grim appearance again, Chaoxia thought that the two were quarreling in the house. Gently pulled the corner of Huo Qingqing's clothes, Chaoxia made a look, and Huo Qingqing immediately understood.
Walking quickly to Huo Qingsong's side and sitting down, Huo Qingqing said, "Xiang'er, brother, what are you talking about." β
"We're saying, it's time to go home." Huo Qingsong didn't wait for Lu Xiang'er to speak, and got up. But Lu Xiang'er didn't refute it, or didn't say anything.
Huo Qingqing and Chaoxia glanced at each other, and they were even more sure that Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong must be angry. Huo Qingqing wanted to know what was going on, so he also got up and nodded and said, "Okay." In a while, I'm going to enter the palace again, and I really have to go back and change my clothes. β
As he spoke, Huo Qingsong and Huo Qingqing, who had just sat down, left the Lu family. Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er sent the two away and returned to the main room. As soon as she entered the house, Chaoxia took Lu Xiang'er's hand and looked at her suspiciously.
Only then did Lu Xiang'er see the meaning in Chaoxia's eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Chaoxia, you think too much." I was fine with him and nothing happened. Just ......"
"Just what?" Chaoxia listened to Lu Xiang'er's words, and she also put her mind at ease. After sitting down with Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia asked casually.
Lu Xiang'er bit her lip and thought for a while before she said loudly: "Sister Chaoxia, are you still thinking about the Fourth Highness now?" β
Chaoxia didn't expect Lu Xiang'er to ask this question suddenly, her face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything but lowered her head. When Lu Xiang'er saw this, she understood that Chaoxia had not forgotten the relationship between her and Zhao Chengmin.
Thinking of what Huo Qingsong said before, Lu Xiang'er's hand was loosened and loosened, loosened and clenched. After repeating it a few times, she said softly: "Sister Chaoxia, a few days ago, Sister Yao'er said about the King of Zhongyong Mansion, do you still remember." β
"You mean that King Chungyong was abducted from a grandson and a daughter was missing?" Chaoxia looked at Lu Xiang'er suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly said this.
Lu Xiang'er nodded, took a deep breath, and continued: "That day, we sat opposite Mrs. Li, and she suddenly felt unwell and went back halfway. You know, she's suddenly like this because she thinks you're her kidnapped daughter, Lee whispered. β
"Huh?" Just like Lu Xiang'er heard Huo Qingsong say for the first time, Chaoxia was also very surprised: "How is this possible, I don't have this impression in my memory?" β
"Of course, it is impossible to be impressed, because Li Qingyu was only one year old when he was abducted." Lu Xiang'er looked at Chaoxia's slightly frowning brows, and immediately said, "Sister Chaoxia, no matter what, Mrs. Li has already decided that you are Li Qingyu." Moreover, looking at the expression of King Zhongyong that day, it seems that he also acquiesced. β
"Admit it, how can they be sure that I am Li Qingyu?" Chaoxia had always thought that she was an orphan, and suddenly heard that she still had relatives, and it was also a brave and loyal palace, Chaoxia was suddenly at a loss.
When Lu Xiang'er saw Chaoxia's appearance, she didn't know if she should tell her the truth. If Chaoxia knew that she might be a fake Li Qingyu, Lu Xiang'er really didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Chaoxia. Since King Zhongyong had already planned to 'recognize' Chaoxia as Li Qingyu, Lu Xiang'er decided to hide it first. Look at the situation that day and then improvise.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er took Chaoxia's hand and said softly: "Sister Chaoxia, I'm telling you now, I just want you to be prepared." Three days later, the old prince will have a banquet for the loyal and brave king, and we will go too......"
