"I don't want His Highness to hurt you because you don't deserve to dirty his hands. A woman like you doesn't deserve to have His Highness get the slightest bit of dirt on you. It's up to me to settle the grudge between you and me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the hairpin on her head, raised her hand, and shot through the screen into her head, hitting the center of her eyebrows.
Blood sprayed on the clean screen, passed through some gaps, and stained her fair face bit by bit.
Smelling the strong smell of blood, Chu Jiaoli bit her lip hard, with unconcealable regret in her eyes.
She finally killed Xiang Yini again, and this time, Xiang Yini deserved it.
After thinking about it, she turned around slowly and left calmly.
The carriage waited at the gate of the palace for a long time. When Chu Jiaoli got on the carriage and took her seat, she said to the carriage driver who was about to return to Anhe Residence: "Go back to the Prince's Mansion."
The carriage was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said: "Yes."
Prince's Mansion.
Night is coming quietly, and there are already some lights in the house.
The beautiful sound of the konghou came from the main hall, which was intoxicating. Chu Jiaoli looked at the closed door, raised her hand and gently pushed it open.
What catches the eye is a woman in a purple dress, dancing as gracefully as a butterfly, with her graceful figure swinging in the center as the actor plays the harp.
Chu Jiaoli knew that figure just by looking at it.
Beigong Tengxiao was sitting on the precious chair on the steps, a little slumped. He looked at the woman below the stage with no expression. It wasn't until he saw someone pushing the door open that he slowly focused his distracted eyes.
Mo Wei usually has a cold temperament, and she never thought that a dance could be as enchanting as a water snake. She seemed to know who the person was, and when she turned around, she showed a provocative smile to Chu Jiaoli, without leaving any trace.
The song comes to an end and the actor stops when he sees it.
Beigong Tengxiao looked at Chu Jiaoli, slowly frowned, and then gave Mo Wei a fierce look.
Just after the servant reported that Chu Jiaoli left the palace and returned to Anhe Residence, Mo Wei suddenly came to the Prince's Mansion, saying that the cooperation had been going smoothly recently, and she specially performed a dance for him.
Beigong Tengxiao had no intention of enjoying the dance and was just doing it half-heartedly. But unexpectedly, Chu Jiaoli returned to his house. After a little thought, he understood Mo Wei's trick.
It seems that he will have to let Jingyue carefully select the servants who will spread the news in the future.
Chu Jiaoli's heart felt heavy, but she just pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head and saluted, and said: "I have returned home, and I came here to say hello to His Highness."
Beigong Tengxiao took a closer look and saw the blood on her face, and his heart skipped a beat.
He stood up quickly, walked down the steps and walked in front of her. He looked at her up and down and found no wounds.
He raised his hand and carefully wiped away the blood on his cheek. When he saw that it was not her blood, he breathed out gently.
His eyes were doting, and his voice was low and pure: "Did you kill Xiang Yini?"
Seeing Beigong Tengxiao not shying away from Mo Wei, Chu Jiaoli's heart felt like a thorn in her chest. She raised her eyes and looked at Beigong Tengxiao's tired expression, then glanced at the dancing and singing surroundings, showing a faint smile.
He thought and said: "Your Highness has been very busy recently. I don't need to worry about my concubine's private affairs."
Unexpectedly, Beigong Tengxiao just remained silent, raising his hand to wipe the blood on her face with his sleeves.
Chu Jiaoli grabbed his wrist, looked up into his eyes, and seemed to be repeating the words of that day, but also seemed to have a deeper meaning, and said in a low voice: "Dirty."
Just one word made Beigong Tengxiao panic. He explained to Qi Chuan, but Chu Jiaoli took a step back and said: "I won't disturb your highness to discuss important matters with Chu Yushi. I will leave."
