Before she could finish speaking, a big palm covered her mouth.
While surprised, a familiar body fragrance lingered in her nose. She suddenly froze and looked up at Beigong Tengxiao, who was covering her mouth. She stared blankly for a while, then her eyes turned red.
Beigong Tengxiao looked into her red eyes, feeling a hint of pity in his heart.
He frowned slightly, raised his other hand, raised his slender index finger in front of his mouth, lowered his voice and said: "Shh, I brought you out secretly, don't alert others." p>
Chu Jiaoli nodded immediately, and Beigong Tengxiao put down his hand with confidence.
He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. The pity in his eyes revealed a sullen anger, but he slowly stopped it.
It was already midnight, and the carriage was going up and down. All along the way, there were internal agents from the Sino-Romanian Kingdom, and the journey went smoothly.
He originally wanted to go on a killing spree in Dongling, but he met Zhonggong Tang Luo's men at the ferry. He said he would guide him to rescue Chu Jiaoli. She had her own considerations and didn't want Beigong Tengxiao to arouse the enemy.
I also accidentally heard that Donggong Cangqiong is now extremely obsessed with Zhonggong Tang Luo. Since she will secretly send a message to him to come to the rescue, she should not be an enemy of Beiming.
At the moment, he can't save himself, so it's a blessing that Tang Luo in the middle palace can calm the war for him.
"Thank you for coming to save me." Chu Jiaoli whispered.
Beigong Tengxiao glanced at her, raised his cup, took a sip of tea, and said no more.
She didn't know why, but he just didn't say a word along the way. His thoughts were as cold as ice, and she didn't understand his thoughts.
The carriage galloped until they reached Beiming, where they found an inn to rest for a while.
Beigong Tengxiao had stayed in this inn. When the Beiming Dongling war started last year, he faked his death and lurked beside the late Emperor Dongling to kill him. When he returned in triumph, he rested in this inn on the border.
of.
The shopkeeper had seen Beigong Tengxiao's face before, and when he came to stay again, he treated him warmly. The quilt was replaced with sky silk, the spices in the incense burner were made of the finest ambergris, and the tea and meals were even better.
Top quality.
After returning to his own country, Beigong Tengxiao obviously relaxed a lot, such as separating himself from Chu Jiaoli's room to enjoy the quietness alone.
It was getting late, and Chu Jiaoli looked very depressed sitting in the empty inn. She propped her chin in front of the tea table and looked at the fruit plate on the table in a daze.
She didn’t know why Beigong Tengxiao ignored her and clearly covered her mouth, but she saw a trace of unbearability in his eyes.
"Is it an illusion..." She murmured softly, then sighed dejectedly, her eyes a little distracted and said, "Are you being sentimental again? He still... doesn't take me seriously?" p>
Maybe it's a lie that the hero saves the beauty, but it's true that he doesn't want her to embarrass him.
If Dong Gong Cang Qiong really did something to him on a whim, just like when they first met, Bei Gong Teng Xiao's face would be greatly humiliated...
She lay on the table in frustration and closed her eyes in confusion.
"Knock, knock, knock..." She remembered a knock on the door, and Chu Jiaoli immediately sat upright. The door was not closed. Jing Ling stood at the door, but did not step in. He lowered his head respectfully and said, "Your Majesty.
, His Highness calls you over."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's heart skipped a beat, and her body suddenly stiffened nervously. She pursed her lips and said, "What's your expression on His Highness?"
Jing Ling was silent for a while and then said: "Empress, Your Highness will not harm you."
Chu Jiaoli choked on her words. It seemed that he was not in a good mood...
Seeing that Chu Jiaoli was depressed, Jing Ling said again: "Empress, during the time when you were missing, His Highness was very worried about you."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli looked happy and said, "Really?"
Jing Ling lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to deceive your Majesty. I'd better not keep Your Highness waiting."
Jing Ling's words undoubtedly gave Chu Jiaoli reassurance, and her nervousness and boredom disappeared instantly. She breathed out gently, straightened her hair and clothes, and walked out of the door.
That relaxed mood was shattered again when she stepped into Beigong Tengxiao's door. Chu Jiaoli raised her head and saw Beigong Tengxiao's handsome face that had turned livid.
Wearing a noble black python robe, he sat in front of the tea table, his right hand on the brocade cloth on the table, and his fingers tapped irregularly.
When Chu Jiaoli heard the chaotic frequency, her heart became confused.
Like a child who had done something wrong, she nervously twisted her index fingers together, bit her lip, and stood in front of him without speaking.
Beigong Tengxiao grabbed the purse on the coffee table, took out a copper plate from it, and said: "For a penny, you were deceived into coming to Tangling? Even your life was taken? You told me, didn't you?"<
/p>
The polished penny gave off a faint reflection under the light of the lantern. Chu Jiaoli looked at his gloomy face, her eyes moved down with a guilty conscience, and whispered: "The first sentence is, the latter sentence...
No..."
She still needs her life. Who knows that catching a thief will still be in danger?
"Ha." Beigong Tengxiao seemed to have heard some big joke. The sneer on his face could not hide the sullenness burning in his eyes. He slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "You marry Bei
Ming is so aggrieved? Do I lack food from you or clothing from you?"
Chu Jiaoli suddenly knew what he was angry about.
She hesitated to speak, finding it difficult to speak.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned tightly, stood up with the copper plate and walked to the window, saying: "Even if you throw this penny on the street, no one will take a second look!"
After finishing her words, before Chu Jiaoli could react, Beigong Tengxiao threw the copper plate out mercilessly.
"Ding——" Chu Jiaoli was suddenly shocked when she heard the sound of copper plates falling to the ground in the distance. She immediately ran to the window and jumped to the first floor without saying a word.
There was no one on the street at night. In the dim sight, Chu Jiaoli knelt on the ground blindly and groped around in a panic.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned, jumped down, and stood in front of her, with an outstanding posture and angry eyes: "Are you crazy?!"
What answered him was the sound of Chu Jiaoli sniffing, and in the quiet night, he heard her cries of grievance.
Chu Jiaoli's thoughts became more and more panicked. She was kidnapped to Dongling for the copper plate. She didn't find the copper plate, so she refused to escape. When Tang Luo returned the copper plate to her in the middle palace, she
There is indescribable excitement in my heart.
When Beigong Tengxiao was away, it was her spiritual support and her talisman. She looked forward to the day when Beigong Tengxiao fell in love with her, and she would proudly tell him about it.
But... that copper plate, which was completely inconspicuous in the eyes of others, was thrown away by him himself...
She couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and tears burst into her eyes.
