Chapter Twenty-Three: Hanging
Thinking that he would struggle and beg for mercy, he would resist even if he was stabbed.
But when it really came to this situation, Cen Mu frowned, looked at his face motionlessly, and didn't make any movement.
"Why do you look like you're dying?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned dissatisfiedly: "But if you can enter the inner room of this king, there is no one who is not flattering." Do you think that if you make another tone, you can charm this king? ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Cen Muning reached out to pull his robe, but his eyes glanced elsewhere.
After several clicks, the button on the neckline was not unbuttoned.
"Stupid." Zhuang Chenchen disliked: "Don't get in the way here." ”
"Yes." Cen Muning nodded awkwardly, and she didn't know where to put her retracted hand.
His hands stiffened slightly, the coldness of his fingertips touching her slender neck.
Thorn -
With a simple pull, the thin layer of gauze was torn open, revealing the obvious whip marks on her shoulders.
It's been a month, and the wound has long healed, but the scar is exceptionally clear.
"Hmph." Zhuang Chenchen only glanced at it lightly, and he looked disgusted. "Such a posture dares to be sent to this king's mansion. Cen Xiang is afraid that he is old and confused! ”
"Your Highness forgives your sins." Cen Muning tore the gauze and covered the scars with folds: "The concubine will heal well, don't dare to stain His Highness's eyes." ”
She crossed her shoulders and unnaturally wanted to get up and leave. "It's not too early, Your Highness rests early, and the concubine retires."
Zhuang Chenchen didn't speak, but pushed her in as she got up, and then lay down on her own and didn't say anything more.
This made Cen Muning extremely embarrassed. She wore so little, and stayed in his inner chamber, always feeling that every hair stood on end, and she was always vigilant.
Sleepiness slowly crept through the silent chamber, and she curled up, her back to him, and finally fell asleep.
The sky was bright, and the light from outside slowly came in.
Zhuang Chenchen turned around and looked at her back carefully. Under the hazy cover of the gauze, the whip marks one by one looked shocking.
That's why she had to enter the Ruiming Palace!
Her slender body didn't look like she could hold it well, but there was an indescribable persistence to send her here with such a weakness. And he really had the idea of killing her......
"Mother, Mu Ning wants to eat milk cake ......"
The body was warm, Cen Muning stretched her waist, rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned around, and she startled herself.
"Your Highness...... The concubine was out of order. ”
Her cold feet were warmed by him at some point. It felt like a hand-warmer specially placed by my mother in the past.
"Did you grow up in an ice cellar?" Zhuang Chenchen turned his face away in disgust.
Cen Muning's face burned again, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to bite her lip lightly.
"Master, Father-in-law Rong next to the Queen Mother is here."
Zhuang Chenchen neatly hugged her in his arms and quickly covered the cloud brocade thin quilt. "Hmm."
Yin Li opened the door, and Grandpa Rong walked in.
"Greetings to the prince and princess......" Father-in-law Rong glanced at the warm couch, and lowered his head with a smile. The queen mother instructed the servants to take the princess into the palace in a soft sedan chair, saying that she had just paid tribute to some Suzhou and Hangzhou silk outside, and the color was very delicate, and the princess liked it for a while. ”
Originally, she said that she would go back to the door today, but Cen Muning still wanted to see the surprised faces of those people in the mansion because she was still alive. But the Queen Mother ......
"The princess entered the palace with the king." Cen Muning only said briefly.
"Yes." Of course, Gonggong Rong didn't dare to refute: "Then the slave will go back to the palace first." ”
As soon as he left, Cen Muning broke free from his arms without waiting for a moment: "Your Royal Highness promised the concubine and allowed the concubine to return to her mother's house......"
Zhuang Chenchen reached out and pinched her jaw, and looked at her: "I still have the heart to think about this, my life is going to be lost, don't you know?" ”
