Chapter 291: Drawing the Line

Qi Shu didn't expect Ning Ze to come back so early, she was sitting downstairs at that time, and the spoon in her hand hadn't been put down, so she looked at him blankly.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Qi Shu inadvertently avoided his gaze, and then stared at the zongzi in the bowl.

She had been eating zongzi for several days in a row, but she didn't feel tired at all.

Ning Ze looked at her without speaking, his eyes fell on her neck, and the ambiguous traces that fell the day before yesterday were covered by the collar and could not be seen.

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Qi Shu could feel his gaze fall on his neck. Suddenly, she felt very awkward, but she couldn't blatantly tell Ning Ze not to look at her.

"Let's go together, this king doesn't have to eat, and then I will send you to the princess of Zhao Kingdom, and she will also come back with this king." Ning Ze walked next to Qi Shu, and then sat down next to her, his expression was very natural.

Qi Shu glanced up, and then quickly lowered his head, Ning Ze didn't feel awkward, but she still felt awkward.

"Hmm." After a while, he answered in a low voice.

She wasn't in a hurry to find Zhao Huanting, but coming back early today unexpectedly disrupted her plans, but it didn't hurt either, anyway, she had to find it sooner or later.

"This king left to return to Wei today, if you go back with me, you will go back together, if you are with Zhao Huanting, then you will go back to Zhao with Zhao Huanting." Ning Ze said neatly, and by the way, he reached over and took the zongzi that Qi Shu was eating, unceremoniously.

Qi Shu watched as the turquoise bowl was moved to Ning Ze's face, and he was stunned as it contained the zongzi that had been dug out with a spoon.

Is it a bright tiger's mouth?

"If the prince likes it, he just wants another one." After saying that, he waved his hand and beckoned the next person to come again, and there was naturally a special person in this post house who was responsible for their diet and daily life.

Ning Ze glanced at her and said, "I like to eat what you have in your bowl." ”

"......" Qi Shu felt a little speechless. Lord, when you go out, pay attention to the impact of words. ”

"Yes, the princess taught you." Ning Ze said lazily and perfunctorily, but there was no impatience in his tone.

Does this count as flirting? The people next to him all looked at it, and they didn't feel a little embarrassed, the relationship between the prince and the princess was really good, even if listening to their words, it seemed that the prince and the princess didn't plan to go back to Wei together.

Why did the princess go with Princess Zhao Huanting of Zhao Kingdom? There was no sign at all, or did you do something else?

What do you mean by Cao Cao Cao? Ning Ze on the front foot just came in, and Zhao Huanting on the back foot also came over.

The people next to her didn't have the slightest intention of obstructing her, Zhao Huanting stood outside the door, her eyes fell on Qi Shu, who was talking to Ning Ze, her eyes were full of complicated colors.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, he plans to leave here and return to Zhao in the afternoon, but didn't Ning Ze tell him that Qi Shu said that he had something to look for him? So he simply took the initiative to come over himself.

"Princess Zhao is here, since you have something to discuss, let's discuss it first." Ning Ze didn't eat the zongzi he had just taken from Qi Shu, and when he saw Zhao Huanting standing at the door, Ning Ze only felt that he had lost his appetite.

This wife is going to run away with someone else, can he be happy?

Qi Shu didn't feel awkward, because in her opinion, she would have to make it clear to Zhao Huanting sooner or later.

After standing up, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Huanting, that is, to invite him upstairs to his room, Ning Ze flicked his sleeves and went upstairs first, with a displeased look on his face like a resentful husband who was churning in the sea of vinegar.

Let's talk, I don't know if there's anything to talk about, at least you have to take him with you to talk, right?

Otherwise, he would have to speculate and speculate about what they were talking about, and what they were hiding from him.

To be honest, Ning Ze never dreamed that Zhao Huanting would have some calculations on this.

It still worked, which really surprised him.

It's just that Qi Shu is unwilling to break his promise.

Right now, he couldn't give any legitimate reason to obstruct it, because it was something he had promised before.

Lai can't be relied on.

In the final analysis, his Ning Ze's life was saved by the doctor he brought, which is just a fact that cannot be changed and irreversible.

And Zhao Huanting definitely didn't save him because of Qi Shu's request, if he was missing from the court of Wei, there would inevitably be some turmoil.

In this way, Zhao Huanting has lost the object of checks and balances, you must know that Zhao Guo has always been threatened by Qi State, both openly and secretly.

Why Zhao Huanting wanted to be active in Wei and said that she was close to Wei was to show that the relationship between Zhao and Wei was extraordinary.

If the Qi State acts arbitrarily, it is likely to attract the intervention of the Wei State, and if the Qi State is unjust, the countries will attack it en masse and become the target of the public.

Therefore, this is also something that Qi does not dare to try easily, and the countries are still in a state of relative equilibrium.

However, once someone breaks this balance, the entire Central Plains and even the wild regions will be affected.

Therefore, even if Qi Shu did not agree to Ning Ze's request in the end, if Zhao Huanting really ran into it, she would not sit idly by.

Although it may be far-fetched to say this, according to the most reasonable explanation at that time, Zhao Huanting was able to go to Guangchuan County for most likely for him.

In this process, the only thing that can't be explained is Zhao Huanting's attitude towards Qi Shu.

He had thought about it before, if Zhao Huanting's goal was him, Qi Shu's attack would indeed be explainable.

But as the days passed, how could he feel as if Zhao Huanting was trying her best to get Qi Shu away from him.

Although Qi Shu is the daughter of Shangshu, she has taken the name of the lord of Qingming County, and she is eager to experience it in the court, but it has not been realized at present, and it will not play a role in the court at all.

So, what did Zhao Huanting want to do with Qi Shu, and why did she bring her to Zhao Kingdom.

Asuka said that he had found out his eyebrows, and a clear message would be delivered in the next two days, so Ning Ze only had to wait a little longer.

However, out of his inner intuition, Ning Ze was still subconsciously relieved, always thinking about whether to listen to the corner outside the room where they were chatting.

Although it was not his royal demeanor, it was not like what he was used to.

But it's much easier than prying something out of Qi Shu's mouth......

"Wan Ting." After Qi Shu led Zhao Huanting into the room, he sat down at the table and then reached out to pour him a pot of tea.

The gaze did not fall on his face.

To be honest, she still has some difficulty accepting that the person sitting in front of her, who is a close friend in her boudoir, is actually a man.

They even shared a bed......

"I thought you wouldn't pay any more attention to me." Zhao Huanting saw that Qi Shu's face did not show a broken and resolute look, and she was a little determined.

But the tone is not too high, too joking and naughty, for fear of making him angry.

"I will go back to Zhao Kingdom with you, but how long I stay is probably not something I can decide. I will write a letter to Your Majesty. ”

Qi Shu pondered the words and said, she was not sure whether His Majesty would recall her back.

"In this case, I hope that the situation in Wei will never settle down."

Zhao Huanting was stunned by the sudden surprise, and couldn't help but look at Qi Shu with burning eyes and said.

At the beginning, Qi Shu still subconsciously regarded her as a woman, but the complicated affection that was obviously revealed in Zhao Huanting's eyes made Qi Shu have to remind himself that it was a man sitting opposite.

"But why?" Zhao Huanting was pleasantly surprised, but also very puzzled, why did she propose to go with him in a good manner?

Qi Shu's attitude was still very resolute before, saying that he would never go with him.

Why did you suddenly regret agreeing again? It's not like her.

Could it be because of the dispute with Ning Ze?

I heard that after Qi Shu left him that night, the two of them slept in separate rooms the next day.

From this point of view, it is very likely that Qi Shu agreed to go to Zhao State with him because he was angry with Ning Ze.

"Shu'er, this is going to Zhao Kingdom, the mountains are long and the rivers are short, you need to think clearly, don't make an impulsive and hasty decision for the sake of a moment."

Even if Qi Shu was willing to go with him, in fact, it was still his own calculation.

But if Qi Shu really didn't come, Zhao Huanting felt that she wouldn't force her, and she might still find another way.

But if it was for him to give up Qi Shu, it would be absolutely impossible.

"It's not out of will, it's just that there have been too many things that have happened since the beginning of the year, and I feel like I've suffered some setbacks, so let's just take it as if I'm running away and avoiding it." Qi Shu said calmly.

"Shu'er, you should know my mind. I'm more than just you. ”

"You know it's impossible, I won't stay in Zhao for long."

"So the reason why you came to Zhao Kingdom is just to fulfill your promise?"

"That's true."

"Shu'er, don't you even have the slightest affection for me?"

"Yes, but it's just friendship. It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. ”

"But you know, I'm not like that to you."

"I know, but you also know that the affairs of men and women are not forced, and besides, I have always regarded you as a close friend of my boudoir, and I have no other thoughts."

"Even if I tell you now, am I a man?"

"You, I, indeed, were surprised when I learned that you were a man, but then I felt that my feelings for you would not change, whether you were a man or a woman."

"Is it because where did I do it? Isn't it good enough? Or am I not considerate enough? ”

"Well, no, Huanting is a very vivid person, I know that you have a lot of responsibilities on your back, and I also know that Huanting is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but you have never hurt me from beginning to end, and even saved me again and again.

I will always remember this kindness. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Huanting secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, what should he think if he knew that the Mo Zhu beside him was his own person, and secretly poisoned her?
