Chapter 396: That's right, I pretended
Wan'er's face was a little stiff and she smiled, "Your Highness, Wan'er didn't mean to-"
Before Wan'er finished speaking, Chu Xiuchen raised his hand and waved, his voice faint.
"Wan'er doesn't need to say much, I, I know."
Wan'er's palms hidden in her sleeves were sweaty.
"Your Highness, you know what I do to you... To you..."
"Grateful to me?" Chu Xiuchen opened his mouth and said, shaking his head with a light smile, "Want to make a promise?" ”
"Your Highness! I-"
"I'm not a good person, Wan'er and I have lived together these days, you know, can... Don't do stupid things in a moment's time. The corners of Chu Xiuchen's mouth were shallow, but his eyes were dark and deep.
"Your Highness!" Wan'er grabbed one of Chu Xiuchen's arms with both hands, her eyes were filled with tears and affection, "Wan'er is pleased with you, I... I know that I am lowly, and my body... The body is taken by the strongman again, but I want to serve His Highness, I... I-"
Chu Xiuchen put one hand on her hand, slowly withdrew his arm, and his face was close to her.
"Bang Xian also said this to me before, and I was in love with her at that time-" Chu Xiuchen laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought she had finally broken through the shackles of tradition, at least... At least he wanted to try to be with me, but he didn't expect to see that night... It was the last time I saw her. ”
Chu Xiuchen's slender fingers stroked the broken hair on Wan'er's forehead, and her voice sank by two degrees, "The next day, she took a boat to perform in the lake for the guests and fell into the lake." ”
Wan'er's eyes flickered, "Palace... Your Highness, everything has passed, it will be fine in the future, and I will always be by His Highness's side! ”
Chu Xiuchen stood up straight, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"There is nothing immutable in the world, you will say that you are with me now, and you will not be able to say in the future,"
"Your Highness..."
"It's like I once believed that I would be with Xianyue, but she was pushed down in the end." Chu Xiuchen's voice was low and cold, "It's dead, she's dead." ”
Wan'er's eyes widened, and she took a step back, "Immortal... Didn't Sister Xianyue stumble and fall into the lake? ”
"Stumbling? Heh..."Chu Xiuchen laughed twice, "Someone saw her being pushed down by her own hands." ”
Wan'er's face turned pale, "Yes... Someone saw it? ”
Chu Xiuchen was silent.
"Temple... Does Your Highness know who it is? Why didn't you get that man?"
"How did Wan'er know that I didn't arrest that person? Could it be—"
"Wan'er... Natural guessing. Wan'er tried to keep her calm as much as she could.
- He won't know, he won't know that the person is mine.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been indifferent to me now when he saw me, and he wouldn't have saved me in the first place.
I don't know... What he didn't know......
"Oh? How so? ”
"Your Highness, if you know who he is? will definitely find out that person and send it to the government to stop the rumors. ”
"Rumors? Isn't it rumored that Xianyue fell into the water in the private market? Compared to her suffering, how do you know that I will not take him to the mansion and lynch him into pieces! Chu Xiuchen's face was soft, but his words were cold and dry.
"Because you are Your Highness!" Wan'er raised her head and looked at Chu Xiuchen and said.
Chu Xiuchen paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed twice.
"Haha... What a highness! Chu Xiuchen stroked Wan'er's head with his hand, "Barely Wan'er is half right, the murderer is a woman, I can't give up my future carefree life because of such a person." ”
"Female... Woman? Wan'er's face turned pale.
Chu Xiuchen's eyes were half-narrowed, and the words were clear, "Yes, a woman, a woman who looks quite familiar." ”
"Quite ... Quite a familiar woman? ”
The corners of Chu Xiuchen's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, and he smiled without saying a word.
"Your Highness?"
Chu Xiuchen turned around and looked straight ahead, "It's not early, we should go back early." ”
Wan'er looked at Chu Xiuchen's figure, her thoughts were chaotic.
- What does Your Highness mean?
He... Did he know it all? Can... But he's been very good to me, he's ......
"What? Still not leaving? Are you tired of your feet and want me to be taken home by you? Chu Xiuchen's narrow eyes were bent into a crescent moon, and with the clear moonlight on his back, he seemed to be not an ordinary person in the world.
The distractions in Wan'er's mind suddenly dissipated.
- Yes, she did everything right......
Worth... It's all worth it......
Even if... He knew that it was him, she still had her face, a face that was very familiar with Xianyue......
Wan'er smiled, "Your Highness! I'm not tired! You can go—"
The road is too far, and I feel sorry for His Highness carrying me, although... Really eager to ......
"Then let's go, aha..."Chu Xiuchen stretched, "I'm sleepy." ”
Wan'er lifted the hem of her skirt, "Hmm! ”
Chu Xiuchen's eyes were deep and shallow, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Above the Jinghong Palace, he moved her white porcelain, and he was waiting for this time.
- One, two, three, come out......
"Bang... Wheels..."
A white porcelain vase fell out of Wan'er's body, the porcelain vase shattered, and suddenly the Gu worms crawled out and ran in all directions, and several of them even ran towards Chu Xiuchen.
"Your Highness!"
Where can Wan'er care about the rest, now only by killing these Gu can he be guaranteed that he will not be harmed, if... If the Gu worm enters his body...
She... There was nothing she could do......
Thinking like this, Wan'er quickly took a dagger from the mouth of her shoe, made a cut directly on her wrist, and immediately donated blood wantonly, and the Gu worms that didn't run far were divided into internal parts, and went straight to the blood.
Chu Xiuchen looked at her silently, playing the part he should play.
When the Gu worm got closer, Wan'er took out a pack of white powder from her cuff and sprinkled it on the Gu worm quickly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "Zizizi...", and the Gu worm turned into a pool of blood.
Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and gasped heavily, with a smile on her face.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
But when she looked at Chu Xiuchen, her smile stiffened.
"Temple... Your Highness, listen to me, I-" Wan'er looked flustered, she lost the dagger and corpse powder in her hand.
"You did the things in the Amazing Palace?" Chu Xiuchen's eyes were half-narrowed, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he could see some surprise.
Of course, he pretended to do it.
"Temple... Your Highness, I... I'm in trouble, I... I didn't want to do anything harmful to you, today's matter, and on the premise of not harming the interests of His Highness, I was ordered to act, you have to believe me, Your Highness, you have to believe me, I... I'm pleased with you, won't—"
"Say no more! Back home is in discussion. ”
With that, Chu Xiuchen turned around and walked in the direction of King Chen's mansion.
Wan'er was a little stunned for a long time before she followed in a panic.
Along the way, neither of them said much.
As soon as he arrived at King Chen's mansion, Chu Xiuchen found a courtyard, entered the house, and closed the door.
"Say... Who are you? Chu Xiuchen's voice was cold.
"Temple... Your Highness, I... I'm so pleased with you, I really don't-"
"Enough! Let me ask you again, who are you? ”
"Your Highness..."Wan'er suddenly hugged Chu Xiuchen from behind, the pear blossoms brought rain, and tears filled up, "I said, I said... I said, Your Highness, can you not drive me away? Well? Your Highness... I really ......."
Chu Xiuchen broke her hand and stood to the side.
"Say."
