Chapter 159: Last Meeting
Chu Xiuyan stretched out his hand and wanted to wipe away the tears on Xiao Ruoxi's face, but when he met Xiao Ruoxi's bright eyes, he retreated in his heart and retracted his hand stiffly.
She is the wife of the third brother, and he should keep his distance from her, and he cannot do so.
Xiao Ruoxi looked at Chu Xiuyan's actions, only felt warm in his heart, and the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a smile, and said:
"Don't get me wrong, you didn't say anything wrong, it's just that you are so good to me, I am so touched."
Hearing Xiao Ruoxi say this, Chu Xiuyan's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he was also relieved in his heart.
But he didn't know what to say, and Xiao Ruoxi didn't know what to say.
Chu Xiuyan was unconditionally so good to Xiao Ruoxi, she was not a fool about his affection for her, how could she not notice it, but she couldn't repay him anything, she felt that she really owed him too much.
Xiao Ruoxi lowered her head and quietly did not speak again, while Chu Xiuyan stood in front of her, she buried her head, and she couldn't see what expression she had on her face at the moment.
I don't know if she's thinking about something, or if she really has nothing to say to him.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.
Chu Xiuyan didn't like this, he tried to find something to talk to her, but he hollowed out his head and didn't know what to say.
"Chu Xiuyan."
After a while, Xiao Ruoxi suddenly shouted slightly.
Chu Xiuyan raised his eyes when he heard this, and there was a strange light in his eyes, but Xiao Ruoxi was mistaken, and immediately changed his words: "His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
She thought that she and him would not be so distant anymore, but judging by his reaction just now......
Alas, how could she forget, after all, he is a high prince, I am afraid that no one has ever dared to be bold enough to call his name, why is she so stupid, why did she call his name on a whim.
Xiao Ruoxi couldn't help but hang her head, waiting for Chu Xiuyan's anger to come, she thought that Chu Xiuyan would definitely be angry, but she didn't want a gentle voice above her head that seemed to have some little excitement in it.
Belch...... Excited!
"Just call me by my name! I told you, you don't have to be too formal. ”
"You...... Not angry? ”
Xiao Ruoxi raised his head, looking at Chu Xiuyan's eyes shining with excitement, and asked with some uncertainty.
"Don't be angry."
Chu Xiuyan shook his head, of course he wouldn't be angry, how could he be angry, it was too late for him to be happy.
Xiao Ruoxi looked at Chu Xiuyan, stared at him for a long time, saw a faint smile on his face, seemed to be in a good mood, hesitated, and suddenly said to Chu Xiuyan:
"You...... Can you take me to the execution ground? I wanted to take one last look at my father. ”
The sound was similar to begging, so Chu Xiuyan really couldn't bear to refuse, but that kind of place was not suitable for her at all.
Moreover, her injuries have not yet healed, and it is not suitable for her to go out.
Xiao Ruoxi saw that Chu Xiuyan's brows were tightly locked, and she didn't give her a response for a long time, so she thought that Chu Xiuyan must be unwilling, and immediately reassured:
"Don't worry, I just want to go and see, I want to see my father for the last time, I promise, I will never mess around, I will definitely not cause you any more trouble."
She knew that she had caused enough trouble for Chu Xiuyan, and she was now a wanted criminal in the whole of Kyoto, for the sake of safety, she should not have gone out rashly, otherwise, once someone with a heart found out that she had gone out of the Yanwang Mansion, it would definitely hurt Chu Xiuyan.
A Prime Minister's Mansion already made her feel that she was extremely guilty, and if she was implicated in the Yanwang Mansion again, then she would really be a heinous villain.
However, she really wants to see her father for the last time, just one face, this is her last chance.
Except for Chu Xiuyan, she really couldn't find anyone who could help her, so she had no choice but to ask Chu Xiuyan for help.
When Chu Xiuyan heard Xiao Ruoxi say this, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, where would he be afraid that she would cause trouble for him.
He even wished that she could cause him more trouble and let him solve it for her, so that at least he could prove that he was useful by her side, and that he could help her.
He didn't want her to go, just because it was an execution ground, and the scene there was too bloody, and he was afraid that she would be scared when she saw it, besides, the people who were going to be executed there today were all her family, ordinary normal people, who would stand such a scene.
Therefore, he didn't want to take her because he didn't want her to be hurt again.
But looking at Xiao Ruoxi's begging eyes, he also knew very well that this was her last chance to see her relatives, and he could also understand her mood at the moment.
That's it! Even if the sky falls, isn't there still him?
Chu Xiuyan sighed helplessly, and said to Xiao Ruoxi helplessly in his tone:
"I'm going to get someone to come in and change your clothes."
With that, Chu Xiuyan turned around and went out to call Chunyin and Lianxiang, who had been waiting outside early in the morning, in.
And he went to prepare for other things.
Looking at Chu Xiuyan's departing back, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ruoxi's face.
This time, she didn't say thank you to him, because she knew that he didn't like to hear her say those two words, so she simply didn't say it.
Xiao Ruoxi was still dressed the same as when she went to see Xiao Ruolan before, covering her face with a hat, and then got into the carriage that Chu Xiuyan had already prepared.
Chu Xiuyan did not take her directly to the execution ground, but went to a restaurant and asked for a private room on the second floor.
After entering the private room, Xiao Ruoxi took off the hat on her head and looked at Chu Xiuyan with some puzzlement, she was going to the execution ground, but what was he doing with her in the restaurant?
Chu Xiuyan knew what she was thinking, so he slowly spoke:
"There are too many people outside the execution ground today, if you go there, you will only be drowned in the crowd, and you won't see Prime Minister Xiao Cheng."
If he could, he would definitely not want her to see Prime Minister Xiao Cheng executed with her own eyes, she had never seen such a scene, and she would definitely not be able to accept it.
However, with her current identity, she is not suitable to appear in the crowd, coupled with the injuries on her body, staying in such a crowded place, what if there is an accident accident?
Therefore, he had no choice but to bring her here, which was at least quieter and safer.
Chu Xiuyan said as he walked to the side of the window, stretched out his hand and slowly opened the window, glanced outside first, and then turned to Xiao Ruoxi and said with some reluctance:
"You...... Come here! ”
Xiao Ruoxi stepped forward when he heard this, followed Chu Xiuyan's gaze and looked down, and the first thing that caught his eye was a huge execution ground.
Moreover, there were more than 100 people kneeling on the execution ground, so many people, executing at the same time, the scene can be said to be unheard of and unseen, so around today's execution ground, there are many people who are watching the excitement, and the entire execution ground is densely surrounded and impassable.
But Xiao Ruoxi had no intention of sighing that this was a spectacular scene, just because this so-called spectacular was created with the lives of her family, and she really couldn't appreciate such a spectacular.
