Chapter Twenty-Five: Private Meetings with Men
In the morning, Chen Jiaojiao curled up on the side of the bed and still looked out.
She had not slept all night, and her head was dizzy and aching.
The sun is shining brightly, day after day.
Last night, Chen Yuanze said that he was poisoned and was dying, she didn't know if he was talking nonsense or it was true, and she couldn't ask anyone now.
She folded her worried hands and prayed that the gods and Buddhas would hear.
Xiao Yue stood at the table worriedly, the breakfast and lunch on the table did not move, and His Highness looked a lot thinner.
Knowing that she was upset, Xiaoyue silently accompanied.
Washing her face with tears day by day, Chen Jiaojiao's heart became more and more uneasy, and there was no news at all.
There were a few boulders in my heart, my mother, him, and Chen Yuanze.
She just couldn't wait.
The surveillance outside seemed to be a little lax in the past few days, and Chen Jiaojiao patted Xiao Yue, who was about to fall asleep next to her, "When will they change shifts?" ”
Xiao Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes, "The slave doesn't know, it seems that there will be a change of shift after the dinner, why does His Highness ask so?" ”
Chen Jiaojiao nodded, and saw someone coming over with food outside.
"I'm going out."
The door pushed open, blocking out Satsuki's startled screams. Chen Jiaojiao tilted her head to look out, maintaining her consistent movements.
When the food was served and quieted down again, Chen Jiaojiao immediately stood up, "Don't ask so much, I need your help, you put on my clothes and go out here first, help me attract some attention." I climbed out of the wall in the back. ”
Xiao Yue shook her head desperately, and grabbed her cuffs stiffly, "Your Highness, no, no!" ”
Chen Jiaojiao was also terrified, but this was the only way.
Even if she died, she had to die to understand, as soon as she closed her eyes, she was pale, and she just wanted to know if he was good.
She made up her mind to pay attention, and there were fewer people outside, so she pushed out Xiaoyue and ran behind while she was in chaos.
The evening breeze ruffled her hair and skirt, and she ran desperately to the wall behind the hall.
There is only one chance to step on the snow and leave a hurried footprint.
There was the wall in front of her, and she tripped over a rock in the snow and threw herself on the ground.
Before she had time to think about it, she quickly got up and went to the corner of the wall to find the stone she had hidden when she was a child.
Fortunately, she has been doing this kind of stealing and touching dogs since she was a child, and she is also very skilled in climbing over the wall.
Stepping on the stone, she seemed to hear a shout behind her, and Satsuki seemed to be discovered.
Chen Jiaojiao didn't dare to delay, stepped on the stone with one foot, stepped on the branch with the other, and struggled to hold on to the wall to support herself.
Sitting on the wall, before she could figure out how to go down, she lost her balance, her body fell to one side, and she fell rapidly.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and let out a low sigh.
After a short period of weightlessness, but without feeling pain, Chen Jiaojiao blinked and opened her eyes.
Fiercely found himself in a man's arms.
He also seemed frightened, holding her cross-legged with his hands and not daring to move.
Blinking his eyes and swallowing saliva.
Qingxiu's face was flushed, all the way to her neck, even if it was pitch black, Chen Jiaojiao could still see it clearly.
Before she could react, whether to thank him first, or quickly run away and tilt her head.
Passing over the man's shoulder, another person was seen.
After not seeing her for more than ten days, she realized that she had to match with the person she remembered.
Standing not close or far, dressed in black as if to melt into the darkness.
Qi Yan watched, with his hands behind his back, watching.
Look at her in another man's arms, see how stupid he is, look at what it means to slap himself with trust for no reason.
The corners of his lips tugged, and his deep eyes were filled with anger, and the tails of his eyes were glowing with blood red, like fireworks in the sky, swallowing up like an abyss.
is so ruthless, when he lies on the bed, he is still thinking about whether she will be embarrassed.
He didn't believe it the first moment he learned that she was poisoned, for fear that it would be unsafe for her to leak the news, so he asked He Shuming to protect her in the Changhuan Palace.
But give her the opportunity to meet men privately?
He Shuming, who was beside him, felt it, blinked his eyes and didn't say anything.
The calm that Qi Yan forcibly concealed completely collapsed when she saw her get out of the man's arms and hurriedly arrange her clothes.
stepped forward violently and grabbed Chen Jiaojiao's wrist.
In the night, his cold face cried out with dead rage, and he grabbed her wrist as if it were about to break.
Chen Jiaojiao blinked her eyes blankly, and tears fell down her cheeks.
He looked like he was fine, and his face was still a little pale, but his body was no longer so cold, and she was relieved.
She seemed to laugh, Qi Yan frowned, grabbed her neck and hit the wall behind her.
"Chen Jiaojiao."
He lost all his mind, like a beast released into the mountains and forests.
Facing his scarlet eyes, Chen Jiaojiao realized that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty?"
He stared at her deadly, not saying a word, and there was emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
But Chen Jiaojiao suddenly felt very sad in her heart, and she didn't know why, his eyes made her heart hurt.
"Your Majesty, the minister is just passing through here, this girl ........."
The man on the side was dancing and trying to explain something, Qi Yan glanced over coldly, and he shut up in fear.
"Kill him and take her away."
He casually pointed with his index finger and ordered He Shuming.
Let go of Chen Jiaojiao's hand and walk forward, into the night.
He Shuming was stunned, hesitating whether he should tell His Majesty that Xu Chengbo was a newly promoted scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how could he kill him so quickly.
He pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, this little princess can't save something.
"Take him down first and lock him up. You, let's go, what are you waiting for. ”
None of the evidence found in the past few days pointed to this crying and stupid little princess, and He Shuming's attitude towards her has also eased.
Chen Jiaojiao looked around at a loss, but still didn't understand what was going on.
But the obedient followed, and the small steps ran to keep up with his great stride.
"That, General He, is Your Majesty still unwell, I just saw that he seemed to be angry."
"Although I don't know why, I used to say something nice, did I hear it. What sweet says what it says. ”
His attitude returned to his previous playfulness, and Chen Jiaojiao was in a much better mood, so she nodded and agreed.
