Chapter 284: Cross-examination
"Why are you here?! Yes! A shrill scream almost rang out in the dark night sky, but it was stopped in time before the scream.
Qi Qingchu's big hand covered Li Jicai's mouth, stopping her and preventing her from making a sound.
Why is he here, do you still need to ask? It must be because the tunnel has been opened.
As soon as the tunnel was opened, he immediately went out of the city, hiding from everyone's eyes and ears, just to come to see her, shouldn't she be very excited and happy? Why is it a little different from what he thought?
"Woohoo." Li Jicai struggled violently, wanting to break Qi Qingchu's hand. Qi Qingchu didn't let go.
It wasn't until Li Jicai struggled with no strength that he let go of her.
"I won't hurt you, what's your name?" Qi Qingchu was a little depressed, Li Jicai acted as if he was a bad person, when did he hurt her from beginning to end?
"Why did you break into my house so many times? Where did I provoke you? "Li Jicai should be the one who questioned.
"Naturally, I'm looking for you."
"What are you looking for me to do?"
"Do I have to ask you for something to come?"
"Or else?" Li Jicai couldn't help but roll his eyes, a little speechless.
Qi Qingchu's expression was a little frozen, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "How are you doing as an official here?" Need help? β
"No, I'm doing well, very well, and if the adults don't come to me, it's even better."
"Do you really hate me so much?" Qi Qingchu frowned unhappily, he didn't like the almost confrontational relationship with Li Jicai. That wasn't the case when it first started.
"It's not annoying, it's just that I don't know why adults want me to remember coming to me, is there anything else to use here? I feel like I'm just a pariah, with no value left to exploit. β
Inside the dark house, there was no candlelight. The tip of the nose can smell the faint fragrance of bamboo.
Qi Qingchu sat at the head of Li Jicai's bed, and Li Jicai lay sideways on the bed, looking at the figure next to him vigilantly.
"How did you recognize me?" Qi Qingchu changed the topic.
"It tastes." Li Jicai said without thinking.
Qi Qingchu subconsciously wanted to smell the smell on his body.
"I'm going to go to the field tomorrow, my lord, if you're okay, can you move back first, otherwise I'm really going to call someone, I'm still a woman who hasn't left the cabinet, if a man comes in and out of my room in the middle of the night, will I still be married?
Do adults not care about my reputation so much? And every time you come to visit, you don't say hello, and I say the same every time, and adults really persevere. Li Jicai hated to point at Qi Qingchu's nose and scold him.
"I've got something for you."
"What are you talking about, can't you just make it clear? It's annoying over and over again. Li Jicai couldn't help but be a little irritable, she had tried her best to avoid going to see Qi Qingchu by herself, and she had tried her best to avoid getting along with him, some things should not be said in person, it didn't mean that she didn't care.
"Why do you hate me so much?"
"Don't dare."
"Why do you hate me so much?"
"Nope."
"You ......"
"I said no, no, can you not dwell on this, don't you say that Lord Qi is the most ruthless and unkind? How did I not know so many words? β
"I like you, if you accept me, I will take you home."
"Is it a repeat of the same old trick? I'm a bare pole now, and there's nothing left for you to use, what the hell do you want to do? Haven't you hurt me enough? β
"I have not harmed you."
"You didn't hurt me?" Li Jicai laughed out loud as if he had heard some funny joke. His fingers gripped his bed as hard as he could, holding back himself from getting too out of control.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be emotional, so she directly drew a knife and swung it at him, and there was a knife under her pillow.
"I don't know why you're so upset about me, can you tell me why?" With his head lowered, his tone was very low, and he spoke very slowly, Qi Qingchu didn't know how to face Li Jicai.
The two of them seem to have suddenly fallen into a strange circle, each of them wants to question each other, neither of them wants to question each other, and would rather guess each other's thoughts than tell their sincerity and tell them calmly.
"Li Jiye, is this reason enough?" Li Jicai said word by word, and he could hear that he was gritting his teeth, as if he was carrying a great grudge.
ββ¦β¦ How is he? Because this matter is too complicated, Qi Qingchu doesn't know how much Li Jicai knows, and it's not easy to start talking?
Looking at what Li Jicai said, she knew that she didn't know what Li Jiye's true identity was, and what changes she had experienced, including Li Jiye's fraudulent death.
Qi Qingchu was already very sure of Li Jiye's fraudulent death, otherwise who was the person who sat on the throne of Yan Kingdom? It must be Li Jiye, not someone else.
But there are many details of this matter that cannot be disclosed, and in some places, Qi Qingchu cannot say in more detail, and even Li Jiye's identity has to be preserved diligently.
"I was rescued from that fire. And Li Jiye was killed there and couldn't get out again. β
Qi Qingchu didn't know what to say, and his eyes skimmed to the side. There was no movement, and nothing was said again.
He also wanted to explain this matter to Li Jicai, but the involvement was too wide, so that some things really couldn't be known to her. It really didn't do her much to know it.
"I don't know much about this." Qi Qingchu chose to avoid it, and did not intend to make it clear in a real way.
Li Jicai was still looking forward to it, but after hearing his answer, his heart suddenly cooled down completely.
That night, she could be sure that she was not mistaken, that person was Qi Qingchu, on the night of Li Jiye's accident, Qi Qingchu was there at all, and he had personally experienced everything terrible.
And at this moment, he was actually lying, and his face did not change, and he looked at her at night for no reason.
Why is he so terrifying? If he didn't know a thing or two about this matter, at this moment, Li Jicai felt that he was still in the dark.
This wasn't the first time she had asked, but why? Why can't you tell the truth?
"That night, I saw it all, I saw it clearly, my lord saved me twice, and the person who saved my life should repay me, my lord, do you say yes?"
Qi Qingchu's heart suddenly "chuckled".
"To tell you the truth, before that happened, I was extremely naΓ―ve, you are a righteous gentleman in my eyes, the most unattainable person, and I feel flattered and even a little incredulous if I have any contact with you.
But what I didn't expect was that all the approaches were planned for a long time, and I was just me, just a foil.
Who is Li Jiye? I only know nothing, the only thing I remember is his round face when I escaped from the outskirts of Jinzhou with him.
We survived so hard, but when the days were getting better and better, we died, how can I accept this?
I don't, I repeat, I really don't have anything for adults to worry about, I really have nothing, can't you be merciful and let me go? β
Maybe it's because of the confusion accumulated for a long time, or maybe it's because of love, Li Jicai can no longer hold back the emotions in her heart, she knows that if she doesn't make it clear, trouble will come in the future.
Qi Qingchu is not like the kind of person who will give up easily. And he was already in this outskirts of the city, and he could still get here in the middle of the night.
It just scared her, where did ordinary people do this.
Moreover, Li Jicai knew that he couldn't compete with him now, so he could only take his time.
She didn't expect today's words to make Qi Qing retreat at the beginning, knowing that she had a sensitive understanding of what happened at that time, so that she could restrain herself. It's not going to be as aggressive as it was tonight.
Wait until tomorrow morning, Li Jicai will interrogate and interrogate those people who are guarding her, how did they guard it, why they still didn't prevent it, and they still let people in.
"It's true that there are some places that are difficult to elaborate, but I have no intention of hurting you, and this time I really came not for anything else, just for the personal feelings of my children."
"But my lord, I have no affection for you. Isn't it really clumsy that a person like you would fall in love with a woman like me? β
Li Jicai felt that Qi Qingchu had lost trust in her, and no matter what he said, she would not believe it.
"You're not me, why are you guessing that? You're the woman I've spent the most time with, and I, I've got to know you. β
"But more than a month, anyone can do it, the woman of the Luo family, that's the adult's childhood sweetheart, if it's in comparison, it should be more worth the heart." Li Jicai reminded himself that he should not be moved by Qi Qingchu's words, such a person is not something that a person like her may have, she is not worthy.
ββ¦β¦ If words can't move people's hearts, Now can only rely on actual actions, and I don't think I need to prove it to you, but at this moment, because of what you said, I feel that it is necessary. β
"There is no need for this, the same boring words, repeated thousands of times, will not change his essence, I, Li Jicai will not accept you, and adults don't have to do useless actions anymore.
Besides, if you really have a crush on me, how can you disrespect me? Come to see me during the day, instead of sneaking over all day and night, am I so disgraceful? It's just that adults feel from the bottom of their hearts that they are afraid that others will know, that they are afraid that others will see them, that they are afraid of others speculating, and that they are afraid of losing face. β
"No, if I am too upright and bright, it is easy to attract attention, and it is not a wise move with you and me."
"How can you care about that?"
