Chapter 52: Familiarity
"You want to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Situ Yue looked at Min Qingrou and immediately guessed her thoughts.
Min Qingrou pretended to sigh helplessly and said: "It's not the guard under my hand, crying and shouting and begging me to save his sweetheart's life! Do you know that the concubine is the most soft-hearted, where can she withstand his hard pleading? I agreed to him when I was hot-headed! Lord, you don't want to be a concubine and break your promise to a subordinate, right? How can you convince people after being a concubine?"
"Are you hot-headed?" I can see you most clearly!" Situ Yue snorted coldly, and then said: "Who does that guard want you to save? The maid who poisoned you? Do you know that it is a big crime for the guards and maids to give and accept privately, and you dare to help them? Both of them deserve to die!"
Min Qingrou rolled her eyes and said, "That guard is damned, but the prince is willing to let him go, and the concubine body should naturally go up and down!"
Situ Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes narrowed: "What is the name of the guard you said?"
Min Qingrou smiled lightly and said, "Who does the prince think he will be?"
Situ Yue's face sank. He thought he should have guessed well, the person Min Qingrou said must be the only one he let go at the beginning.
"What did he tell you?" Situ Yue's voice was heavy, like lead.
He refused to say anything, and he did not take a single step out of Poria Xuan as instructed. ”
"Didn't say anything?" Situ Yue sneered, a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes. "If he really didn't say anything, would Concubine Rou promise to help him save his sweetheart?"
"Is the prince angry?" Min Qingrou raised her hand to stroke the chest of her boss Tu Yue, and said softly: "The concubine knows that she is wrong! The prince's affairs should be explained to the concubine in person, and the concubine should not use other people's mouths to investigate!
"You are fast to cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Situ Yue couldn't help but glare at her.
"Rong Tai should have died a long time ago, and it would be cheaper for the prince to keep him for so long! As for Nian Xia, even if she didn't poison the prince, the charge of poisoning the prince's concubine could still make her lose half of her life! Both of them are alive and breathing like this, it is better to die together, it is still stronger!" Min Qingrou's mouth hooked slightly, and she smiled coquettishly.
"You're not afraid of nightmares!" Situ Yue couldn't help but snort softly.
"The nightmare concubine body has been done countless times, and now even if you do it again, it will be as commonplace as everyday! Lord, you haven't answered the concubine yet, do you want these two people to live or die? The concubine body is also easy to persuade and persuade!"
Min Qingrou raised her chin and looked at Situ Yue, smiling harmlessly.
"Can you still persuade people to die?Concubine Rou is so capable!" Situ Yue sneered, but still took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Min Qingrou. "Take it, how do you like it, don't put yourself in it!"
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Min Qingrou took the round white jade pendant and thanked her in surprise.
This jade pendant is not a mundane object, but a symbol of the prince's status. It is given by the Son of Heaven Situ Sanctuary, and this white jade is also a tribute to the small country of the Yaori Dynasty in the northwest, which is said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, and extremely precious.
The white jade was originally a whole piece, but it was later cut into four pieces by the craftsmen ordered by Situ Sheng, polished and carved into the four divine beasts of the green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and Xuanwu, which were given to the four princes respectively, which meant a symbol of dignity.
Situ Yue's carving is a white tiger beast, both of which are lifelike, and the characteristics of the white jade itself make this jade pendant look like a living thing, exuding a faint aura.
Min Qingrou lowered her head and caressed the white tiger jade pendant, and secretly sighed in her heart, when she was in the Chengwang Mansion, she had also seen Situ Chi's piece of vermilion jade pendant many times, but she always felt that the vermilion bird's eyes were too fierce and a little evil, so she didn't like this symbolic thing too much at that time.
However, Situ Yue is a little different, holding it in her hand gives her an indescribable sense of stability.
"Has the prince always worn this jade with him?" Min Qingrou asked softly.
"Given by my father, I naturally have to wear it all the time. Situ Yue's tone was light.
"The prince doesn't like it?" Min Qingrou was keenly aware of Situ Yue's disapproval.
"What if you like it or not? After all, you can't do what you want!"
"Then it's okay for the concubine to keep it for you in the future? Wear it when you enter the palace, if the prince doesn't like it on weekdays, the concubine will hide it and not let the prince see it?"
Min Qingrou held the jade pendant in her hand, looked up at Situ Yue, and suggested.
And Situ Yue just looked at her and didn't answer.
"Is the prince afraid that Rou'er will lose it? Rou'er promises that she will take care of it!
Min Qingrou took Situ Yue's hand and shook it lightly.
"The taboo has been broken by you, what else can't you do? Rou'er, you really confuse this king. Why does this king indulge you again and again?"
Looking at his right hand that was being held, Situ Yue's eyes were filled with a trace of doubt. He doesn't like women to be coquettish, and he doesn't like women to pull and pull at him casually, but since Min Qingrou broke this taboo for the first time, the spell on his body seems to have been broken by her!
Every time she coquettishly pulls his hand, he doesn't feel disgusted as before, he just takes it for granted. If it's just because she's a noble star, then isn't it too mysterious?
He didn't believe in the existence of gods and ghosts in this world, but because of Fang Zheng's prophecy, he began to believe in something that seemed nonsense in the eyes of ordinary people.
For example, fate, such as fate.
It was only a matter of time before he met Bi Yuewu, and his fate would change because of her.
And he actually began to look forward to it.
What's going on?
He used to think that there would be a woman by his side, but he was by no means a person like Min Qingrou who was pretentious on the surface and deep on the inside, but since he met her, he found that his fate seemed to have really been changed!
This woman can easily see through his essence.
Just now, she leaned close to his ear and whispered the words: I still want to compete with the prince for the crown!
This woman actually knew that he was going to fight for the crown prince? How could it be? Could it really be as Fang Zheng said, Bi Yuewu was born to build a foundation for the White Tiger Star? They were destined to be entangled and complement each other?
She went to great lengths to probe his taboos in order to cure his stubborn illness. She did not hesitate to test the poison herself, but also wanted to get closer to him. She does so much, not because she is competing for favor, but because she wants to be the woman next to him and accompany him all the way through obstacles!
It was a lie to say that he was not shocked, and he couldn't help but let himself look sideways at her. Will there be a woman in this world who willingly accompanies him to his death, regardless of anything in return?
He didn't believe it.
So, what did she cling to him for, for her family, for her future, for her glory, or for the higher status that might be possible in the future?
He thought she was a little woman, but her ambition made him realize that he had really lost his eyes this time!
It's okay, he just waited and saw what kind of surprises she, the foundation-building star, could bring him!
"Is the prince asking the concubine?" Min Qingsoft smiled, her eyes flashed, and she blurted out a slightly naughty word: "Otherwise, let's make a multiple-choice question? Use the elimination method to test the prince's heart! I'll write you the answer, you choose!"
Min Qingrou, who was excited, seemed to have forgotten her identity, jumped off the chaise longue like a little girl, went to the desk to take out a pen and paper, and began to write something. Looking at her appearance of looking up sometimes and contemplating sometimes, Situ Yue suddenly felt inexplicably familiar.
"What else?" Min Qingrou muttered to herself, frowning and thinking for a while, before she began to write and draw seriously.
Situ Yue sat on the chaise longue, his eyes were anxiously on Min Qingrou, as if he had forgotten his existence.
Why is it so familiar? Such an action, such a look, such a cheerful and playful appearance, where has he seen it vaguely?
Suddenly, my heart throbbed inexplicably, and again!
Situ Yue suppressed the churning in his heart, slowly stood up, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and moved to Min Qingrou step by step.
"Oops! Don't peek! People haven't finished writing yet, you can't read it until you've finished writing!"
Min Qingrou, who was concentrating on writing the answer, noticed that Situ was approaching, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and pushed him.
Situ Yue looked at the answer on the white paper that was half-covered by Min Qingrou, and could vaguely see the delicate and elegant font, with a texture that made his mind flutter, clearly reflected in his eyes.
"No need to write it. Situ Yue suddenly spoke in a deep voice, and his face became dark and uncertain at this moment.
"Why? The prince doesn't want to know—ah!"
Min Qingrou raised her head in confusion, pursed her red lips slightly, and just wanted to say something, but was suddenly pulled up by Situ Yue and hugged tightly into his arms!
The paper and pen on the table were all swept to the ground, and on the white paper that was stained with ink, I could still vaguely make out the clear word 'like' in the rows of answers!
Yes! Yes!
Min Qingrou has something he likes! Not because she is a noble star, not because she is his concubine, just because she occasionally shows up, I don't know whether it is a pretentious gesture or a real temperament, he really likes it!
Even if it's fake, he still likes it!
That long-lost familiarity, that kind of thing that could provoke the deepest pain in his heart, that scene that was hard to forget even if he closed his eyes, made him fall into it without knowing it!
He went from resentment and anger at first, to calm and attachment.
He was suddenly grateful to Heaven and let him recruit Fang Zheng. If there is no Fang Zheng, there should be no more Min Qingrou in this world!
If it weren't for Fang Zheng's reminder, Min Qingrou would have died in the original drowning! He wouldn't have found out that there was such a surprise in Min Qingrou!
Sure enough, she was destined to help him!
At this moment, he was even more convinced that he didn't believe in the wrong Fang Zheng, and he really gave him a big boost!
"Lord Wang......" A weak protest came from his chest, but Situ Yue not only ignored it, but actually added strength.
What is he doing here? Killing people and killing people?
Min Qingrou was about to suffocate when she was hugged by Situ Yue, what did she just do? Why did she suddenly let him behave like this?
She didn't want to die in such an embarrassing way, so she began to struggle desperately. But no matter how she struggled, she couldn't get out of Situ Yue's arms!
Damn, what did he sing? What did she do wrong and deserve to be suffocated by him?
"Situ ...... The more ......"
She began to shout resentfully, she finally came back to life, so she didn't want to die so soon!
"Call again!"
Situ Yue suddenly let go of his arm, held Min Qingrou's face with slightly cool hands, and ordered in a low voice.
Min Qingrou was stunned, completely unaware of what was going on?
He slowly touched her forehead, and the warm breath hit her face, making her shiver.
His eyebrows were lowered, and she couldn't see his expression, only that he felt his hand holding her cheek tremble slightly. But why? What's wrong with him?
"Scream. He urged in a low voice, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"Situ Yue, I don't ......"
As soon as she called out his name, before she could say anything, his lips were blocked by his eagerness, and she could not say a word again.
It was as if the whole person had been swept into a huge whirlpool, and Min Qingrou couldn't think anymore.
It's dizzy.
Situ Yue, is he crazy?
When she felt her body being picked up, Min Qingrou only had this one thought left.
