"You go back first, and if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when the king goes back!" Chu Qianlan frowned slightly, her face was as cold as ice, there was a cold and sharp air in the corners of her eyes, and her handsome and graceful face took on a cold look that no one should approach.

Ruo Tan looked at him stubbornly.

In fact, he probably didn't know that his face was cold. But as soon as he squinted and frowned, and his temples twitched, his annoyance, anxiety, and restlessness had already occupied all his nerves.

"The prince just needs to answer me, yes, or no?"

"You ...... first"

Before Chu Qianlan's words fell, she was interrupted by Duan Qingyi who came out of it, "So what?" This is what I can give to Alan, what can you give him? ”

Ruotang ignored her, just looked at Chu Qianlan fixedly, and showed his stubbornness to hear the exact answer from his mouth very clearly.

However, Chu Qianlan also pursed her lips. Amber looked back at Ruotang without blinking.

The tense and oppressive atmosphere as if it was a confrontation, there was a kind of depressing and terrible that made Caiqing and Thrush feel that they were about to explode at one point, and they didn't dare to raise their heads. I'm afraid that I will become the fuse of innocence.

"Ah Lan, what if you tell her the truth?" Duan Qingyi didn't mean to be nervous or scared, on her expressionless face, the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, and her eyes lightly touched Ruotang's body with great disdain, "Anyway, she knows it now, and you can't hide it." ”

"Shut up!" Chu Qianlan snorted coldly without looking back, "Get in, it's none of your business here!" ”

Duan Qingyi naturally didn't obediently roll in, "Why is it none of my business?" Didn't she come and ask about my treasure? Since you can't speak, I'll help you answer her—that's right, Alan is with me. Just to get my treasure, are you satisfied? ”

"That's why you got him, and you're proud of it?" Ruotang's eyes never left Chu Qianlan's face, but his deep words were in response to Duan Qingyi.

She saw Chu Qianlan's eyebrows jump heavily, and in her gloomy and deep eyes, there was a kind of emotion that she couldn't see rolling more and more.

He was angry.

But obviously, isn't she the one who should be angry?

"Whatever you got him for." Duan Qingyi stepped forward slowly. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Qianlan's arm, and looked at Ruotang defiantly, "I got him, this is the truth, I just need to know this." You should also understand that as far as Ah Lan is concerned, not only are you useless, but you are also a woman like you. is not worthy of standing by Ah Lan's side. ”

"Do you think the same way?" Ruotang's gaze swept over Duan Qingyi's arm holding Chu Qianlan.

He didn't push her away!

"If you want to think so, then think so." Finally, Chu Qianlan said.

……

"Mother, you've been sitting here for hours." Cai Qing stepped forward tremblingly, looked at the wide open window, the sky had already darkened, she really didn't understand, what was beautiful outside the black hole without moon and stars, how could the master sit here motionless and watch for a long time? "It's windy outside, you're better, don't ......"

"Turn it off." Ruotang opened his mouth lightly, got up and walked to the inner room.

Cai Qing hurriedly closed the window and chased Ruotang to the inner room, "You didn't eat well at night, the slave maid was simmering on the stove with roasted sweet potatoes, do you want to use some?" ”

"Roasted sweet potatoes?" Ruotang's slightly dull eyes rolled.

Cai Qing finally got Ruotang's eyes, and in addition to being pleasantly surprised, he spoke a little upside down, "Yes, it's a roasted sweet potato, but it's a slave's mouth is greedy...... That's not a good thing, Niangniang, your status is expensive, you can't eat that, there is still ginseng and black chicken soup stewed on the stove, you wait, the slave will go ......"

"Just roast sweet potatoes." I haven't eaten it in years, "It's too cold this day." ”

It's also good to eat a roasted sweet potato to warm your heart.

Although Cai Qing didn't quite understand the relationship between the cold weather and the roasted sweet potatoes, seeing that Ruotang no longer seemed to ignore anyone and refused to say anything when he first returned to the yard, he almost cried with joy, and after answering, he hurriedly ran towards the small kitchen.

"Niangniang, why bother?" Wanru handed the small hand stove with a newly replaced charcoal fire to Ruotang.

Her voice was faint, less familiar and friendly to her before.

Ruotang raised her eyes to look at her, she lowered her eyes slightly, and her long and dense eyelashes blocked the look in her eyes. But it is obvious that Wanru, a maid who has always been peaceful and steady, is dissatisfied with her.

Ruotang felt a little funny, so he really laughed, took the hand stove handed over by Wanru, and after holding it in his sleeve, he said lightly: "Why bother? You're right, so why bother. ”

Why care, why be angry, and why be sad and troubled by this?

"What the prince does to you, anyone with eyes can see it. And because of a few words from others, you want to completely deny the prince's kindness to you? Wanru's words are actually beyond the norm at this moment.

"He's good to me, why should I deny it?" Ruotang looked at her suspiciously, "When did I say that he was not good to me?" But these are two different things, you won't understand. ”

Because even she herself hasn't figured it out yet.

Yes, Chu Qianlan is good to her.

That's right, Chu Qianlan wants the treasure in Duan Qingyi's hand.

Is this a conflict?

Chu Qianlan wanted Duan Qingyi's treasure, but that didn't prevent him from being nice to her.

Is it to be understood in this way?

As long as she doesn't ask anything, when she doesn't know what to do, is it enough to know the fact that he is good to her?

But how can it be done?

She already knew that Chu Qianlan was not a good man in the traditional sense, and she could also accept and tolerate the arrogance and imperfection in his character. However, he "pawned" himself to Duan Qingyi against his will, just for the so-called treasure......

Concubine Deng's crazy and sharp words echoed in her ears so abruptly—Honghe Zhuang.

"It's not a matter of one or two days for the prince to find that treasure, for that treasure, the prince can sacrifice and give up everything, including you, the princess!"

"If you let the prince choose between you and Aunt Duan, who do you think the prince will choose? Will I choose you? Ha ha...... Don't dream, the prince won't choose you, he will never choose you! ”

It's like a magic sound, lingering!

She told Concubine Deng so confidently at that time that Chu Qianlan would definitely choose her.

But just now in the Changchun Pavilion, she had a faint premonition.

If Chu Qianlan is really asked to choose between her and Duan Qingyi, he may really choose Duan Qingyi.

From the time she left the Changchun Pavilion to the present, Chu Qianlan could tell which was more important if she didn't care about her.

Ruotang couldn't help but smile bitterly, her rival in love was not any woman, but a treasure she didn't know how to defeat?

"I don't understand." Wanru raised her eyes, "But as long as you know that the prince is sincere to you, wouldn't it be good?" Why do you think so much, and why do you care about the details that don't matter at all? ”

"Why?" Ruotang also asked himself gently.

Then she heard a faint voice in the depths of her heart whispering her answer, because she cared.

It turns out that caring about a person is such a helpless and exhausting thing.

Wanru looked at her appearance, and she really hated to tell everything she knew, but she didn't dare, so she gritted her teeth hard, and persuaded in a softened tone: "You have to believe that in the heart of the prince, there is no one or thing more important than you - you must believe this!" ”

Ruotang Huo looked at her, his eyes were burning and eager, "Wanru, tell me honestly, isn't it...... Is there anything else I don't know? ”

Wanru lowered her head, "You just need to remember the words of the slave maid, and if nothing else, please don't ask again." ”

Ruotang let out a long sigh, "Okay, I won't ask again." ”

……

In the middle of the night, when Ruotang couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, Chu Qianlan took advantage of the night to touch her bed.

Ruotang didn't want to think about it, so he kicked it out.

Chu Qianlan frowned intently and grabbed her calf that she kicked over.

Ruotang bit his lip silently and kicked his other foot hard.

Of course, there will be no second outcome except to be caught.

Ruotang, whose feet were restrained, struggled hard, but he couldn't let his feet get free again, and he couldn't pretend to be silent and pretend to be deep, and smiled coldly, "The prince is really interested, I haven't stolen it for a long time, is this the mood to steal again?" ”

"Speak well." Chu Qianlan, who couldn't hear Ruotang's weird words, frowned even more tightly with her long eyebrows, and put Ruotang's somewhat cold feet into her arms, and unceremoniously occupied the other half of Ruotang's bed, "Are you still angry with this king?" ”

Ruotang felt that he was too uncompetitive and useless, he made such a small move, he didn't apologize or coax her, and went to her bed like no one, she was originally holding her stomach, but she was so easily appeased. While spitting on herself in her heart for being useless, she continued to sneer: "Isn't the prince joking? Who dares to be angry with you? It's just that Lord Wang, you ran over so secretly again, and it really doesn't matter if you annoy your little uncle? If you don't get the treasure that you have been thinking about for many years, won't it be my sin......"

Chu Qianlan's face suddenly turned ruthless, and she pressed her, unceremoniously sealing her chattering mouth. He bit Ruotang's lips like a bite, raging wildly, as if there were countless anger piled up in his heart to vent.

Ruotang was completely stunned by him, and after the two of them made it clear, their relationship heated up day by day, and he never treated her so uncontrollably. His lips hurt from his bite, and his mind went blank again with this stormy passion.

It was easy to breathe, and he was strangled into his arms again, his forehead against her forehead, and his eyes were so fierce that he wanted to eat people.

Ruotang hadn't been so afraid of him for a long time, he was in pain and anger for a while, and he was a little numb, so he asked, "What do you want?" ”

Chu Qianlan looked at her, her eyes were watery, she seemed to be complaining, and extremely aggrieved, dazed like a lost little animal, his heart softened when he saw it, and finally eased his face and tone, "You said you believed me, you just need to believe me." ”

"Isn't it as if other people's words were not heard, that no one else had seen?"

Give him the trust to close his eyes and cover his ears, even if the whole world says that he is wrong, as long as he denies it, she will believe it.

Such trust.

Is she really going to gamble on it?

But he obviously didn't plan to tell her anything now, what else could she do but gamble?

That's it, so be it.

Without waiting for Chu Qianlan to answer, Ruotang cupped his face, "Okay, I believe you." ”

What she gambled on was all her courage in love, and her deepening love for him.

This is the whole net worth of her love.

Such trust, Chu Qianlan, you must not lose it.

……

Cai Qing, who didn't sleep well all night and was worried about his master, tossed and turned all night and didn't figure out how to appease his master's Cai Qing with two panda eyes early in the morning, and what he saw was Ruotang, who was refreshed and depressed yesterday, and couldn't believe his eyes.

Or Ruotang found her first, and Ruotang was stunned when he saw Cai Qing, who was embarrassed with her hair in a messy bun and obvious scars on her forehead, "Cai Qing, early in the morning, where did you go to beat?" ”

"I, I'm going to the Changchun Pavilion to find the prince." Cai Qing's blank eyes seemed to be focused.

Ruotang's fair skin turned slightly red, and he coughed a little uncomfortably, and then gasped, "You can't be beaten by Duan Qingyi like this, right?" ”

She ran to the Changchun Pavilion, naturally she couldn't find Chu Qianlan, and the man who had tossed her all night was reluctant to leave the Qingqiu Courtyard just now.

Cai Qing shook her head, "I didn't see the prince, nor did I see Duan Qingyi." ”

"Then you look like this...... "You can't fall yourself, right?"

Cai Qing lowered her head and looked at her hands aggrievedly, "The slave touched Ruyi." ”

"Ruyi hit you?" Ruotang recalled the cold appearance that Ruyi was not far from auspiciousness, and he couldn't think of the picture of Ruyi doing it to Cai Qing.

And Ruyi knows that Cai Qing is her personal maid, no matter what, she will not attack her maid.

"It's me, I said I was going to go in to find the prince, but he didn't say that the prince was not in the Changchun Pavilion, so I forced him to ask him where the prince was......"

"You pressed him?" Ruotang suspected that he had misheard: "Why did you force you to ask?" ”

Cai Qing glanced at her and silently took out the kitchen knife pinned to the back of her waist.

Ruotang resisted the urge to cover his face and took a deep breath, "And then?" ”

And then ...... Then the slave was thrown countless butts by him. Cai Qing cried, covered her face and said, "You said that I started practicing martial arts now, is it too late?" ”

Ruotang: "......"

She really didn't want to dampen Caiqing's enthusiasm for learning, but—

"Even if you start practicing martial arts day and night from now on, if you want to defeat Ruyi and avenge today's revenge, I'm afraid there is no hope."

"Why?"

"I heard that martial arts learning starts from a young age, and when you grow up, you can't learn it well when you have a stereotype of muscles and bones." Ruotang comforted her with a headache, "Okay, okay, you can forget about today's events quickly, and just hide away when you see Ruyi in the future." I'm hungry, so I'll have breakfast. ”
