From Chu Jiaoli's performance, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she likes Beigong Tengxiao. She even asked specifically last night, knowing that Beigong Tengxiao was leaving today, how could she leave the house so early without even saying goodbye?
But there was no time to think too much, so he set off in a hurry.
The wine last night was very strong, so he slept half an hour longer than usual. In addition, Jing Yue encouraged him to come to this ghost place to say goodbye to that heartless woman. He had already wasted too much time. The carriage slowly left the imperial capital and headed for the ferry. When the sky darkened, Beigong Tengxiao led a group of attendants onto the huge building boat.
"Bang!"
Jing Ling, who was standing guard on the first floor, was startled by the movement behind him.
He quickly looked back and saw boxes of wooden boxes neatly arranged on the wooden board. Inside the boxes were Beiming's gestures of friendship and gifts for Emperor Nanyue.
The sound just now was like the sound of knocking on wood. Although no force was used, it made a lot of noise.
"Who?" Jing Ling frowned. His hearing was correct, but there was no one around, so who made the sound?
He slowly tightened his grip on the unsheathed sword in his hand and walked slowly towards the source of the sound.
"Hmm..." A lazy groan came from inside the box.
Jing Ling quickly drew out his sword, aimed it at a box and stabbed it a little, then opened the lid of the box and was suddenly startled: "Concubine?!"
Chu Jiaoli sat in the box with her knees bent, her sleepy eyes open lazily, as if she had slept for a long time. The moment the box was opened, she felt a burst of light, and she frowned in discomfort and raised her hand.
Rubbed his eyes.
She yawned and looked out the open window at the vast sea, with the line between water and sky, and the setting sun gradually falling on the coastline.
She gently raised the corners of her lips and said, "How long has the ship been sailing?"
"Uh...it's been half an hour..." Jing Ling didn't seem to react, but he still replied respectfully subconsciously, and then he frowned and said, "Why is the empress in the box? Someone has plotted against her.
What?"
Chu Jiaoli waved her hands, stood up, walked out of the box, came to the window, looked at the coastline with the sunset, stretched out comfortably, and said: "In the Prince's Mansion, there is no conspiracy.
Got me."
When she thought about being trapped in the prince's mansion for two months, she might as well die! Going abroad was good, she could have fun and be free, and she didn't have to look at Xiang's charming face every day.
But how could Beigong Tengxiao bring her out?
So, she got into a big box while no one was paying attention, and divided some of the things in the box into other boxes.
Fortunately, the boxes were half full, and the box she valued also had a space for her.
She took a coma pill by the way to avoid the discomfort of the bumpy road.
She knew that these boxes were treasures, and her servants would handle them with care without worrying about being bumped.
After boarding the boat and driving for about half an hour, the effect of the medicine was almost over, and she woke up.
In the middle of the sea, Beigong Tengxiao discovered it, but what could he do to her?
Jing Ling pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Madam, I must report to His Highness as soon as possible..."
Before Chu Jiaoli could turn around and speak, Jing Ling walked upstairs in a hurry.
Chu Jiaoli flattened her mouth, pretending to be leisurely and humming a song with her hands behind her back.
There was a "pop" sound, and the sound of breaking porcelain seemed to come from upstairs, and Chu Jiaoli's heart was suddenly startled.
The heavy footsteps going downstairs became faster and faster, and Chu Jiaoli swallowed nervously.
Although I was mentally prepared, my palms were still sweating...
"Happy departure from the middle palace!" Beigong Tengxiao gritted his teeth and made a sullen sound. Even after he went down to the first floor, he seemed to have heard Jing Ling's report. He still looked at the green figure widening in disbelief.
He raised his hand to rub his eyes and opened them again. The woman actually appeared on the ship!
Chu Jiaoli felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her, then she looked at him with a smile on her face, raised her hand to say hello, and said: "Hello...it's a coincidence that we met here."
"What a coincidence!" Beigong Tengxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the words came out from between clenched teeth. He walked quickly to her and said, "What are you doing here?"
"I..." Chu Jiaoli suddenly became speechless. She didn't know what reason to give for a moment. She turned her eyes hurriedly and said, "I want to follow you!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the ship. The sea breeze blew and there was only the sound of the waves.
Beigong Tengxiao didn't seem to expect that she would say it so bluntly and loudly.
Sensing the embarrassment, Chu Jiaoli snorted and turned around, saying: "It's what you asked me to say..."
Beigong Tengxiao clasped his hands behind his back, turned around and walked upstairs, shouting behind him: "Jingyue Jingling! Throw her into the sea and feed it to the sharks!"
The two guardians did not move for a long time. You looked at me and I looked at you. The word "tangled" was written on their faces.
Chu Jiaoli was suddenly startled, and immediately ran upstairs, saying: "No! How can you be so heartless! It's a good thing that I made you sobering soup yesterday!"
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao, who was stepping on the last step of the stairs, stopped and frowned slightly.
The anxious Chu Jiaoli didn't notice that he stopped. When she looked up, she was suddenly startled and almost fell down.
She quickly grasped the armrest tightly, and the back of her head suddenly hit the template, making a loud noise.
She subconsciously protected her head, her center of gravity was unstable, and she leaned back.
Beigong Tengxiao turned around and quickly stretched out his hand to hold her. Only then did he return to his center of gravity and stand firm.
Looking at her who lowered her head and said nothing, Beigong Tengxiao said nothing and went up to the second floor, followed closely by Chu Jiaoli.
She pouted and sat silently on a nearby chair, then her lips trembled slightly and she cried out in pain.
"You..." Beigong Tengxiao tilted his head and saw that she was crying like a child, but he couldn't bear the word "deserve it" to come out of his mouth again. He gently raised his hand to stroke the back of her head that was hurt by the impact. It was swollen.
After picking up a big bag, he felt angry and funny. His voice became softer and he said, "I was already stupid, but after this collision, am I going to become even stupider..."
"You're still making fun of me!" Chu Jiaoli cried even louder than before.
As he liked quietness, he didn't feel the noisy headache. He just walked silently to a storage cabinet, took out an ointment, walked up to her and handed it to her, saying: "Apply the wound."
Chu Jiaoli sniffed, took the ointment jar, opened it, and dug out some medicine, but she couldn't get it right. She accidentally scratched the injured area, which made her cry in pain.
Beigong Tengxiao sighed helplessly, and put some ointment on her slender fingers. With the other hand, she gently pulled off the hairpin that tied her hair into a bun, and three thousand black hair fell out.
He gently pushed her long hair aside, and applied the ointment to the swollen wound accurately.
