Chu Jiaoli suddenly woke up from her sleep. Looking at the dark night outside the house, her heart froze. She subconsciously stood up and looked towards the back door of the Prince's Mansion.
"Are you scared?" Liang Yi's shoulders slowly sank. Bei Gong Tengxiao's hot palms held her in his arms. He reached out to pick up her coat and put it on. He took her hand and rubbed it gently, turning his head towards her.
A cold voice from outside the house said, "Wantless, who is making the noise late at night?"
Jingyue hurriedly walked in from outside the house, lowered her head and hugged her fists and said: "Your Highness, your Majesty, was frightened. It was someone from Luocai who escaped in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the guards arrived in time."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned with a complicated expression. She had obviously given orders to Luo Bai to escape smoothly. The backyard was all hers, how could it be...
After putting on her clothes in a hurry, she got up and got down from the bed.
"Li'er, it's a cold night and it's raining, so wear more clothes." Beigong Tengxiao didn't ask any questions, picked up his cloak and followed her out.
As soon as she reached the back door, she smelled the pungent smell of blood mixed with rain. Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and quickened her pace. She saw the bright red bloody fingerprints on Luo Bai's face that was soaked by the rain and turned pale.
, and in her arms, the man pierced by a sword was no longer alive.
Chu Jiaoli's eyes were full of surprise, and she murmured with her lips and teeth: "How could it be... who..."
Just as he was thinking about it, a woman next to him trotted over with the hem of her skirt in hand, and said with a look of solicitude: "Your Highness, this temptress dared to escape in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I was alert and realized that she was sneaking around today and fell asleep late at night.
Only then was the evidence that she and her lover escaped!"
Chu Jiaoli looked sideways and saw that the woman asking for credit was the usually taciturn Li Qingyuan.
Chu Jiaoli looked at Luo Bai who was slumped on the ground in a state of embarrassment. The bloody fingerprints on her face were the last tenderness the man had given her. At this moment, they were being wiped away and faded bit by bit by the rain.
"Brother...brother..." Luo Bai said in a hoarse voice, the tears overflowing from his eyes mixed with the rain.
Jing Ling on the side reminded Tengxiao of Beigong: "Your Highness, just now Luocairen said that the man and Luocairen are half-brothers, not lovers."
Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a lower voice, "Is he the brother or the lover?"
Chu Jiaoli's brows furrowed slightly, and she understood in her heart that calling her a brother was just to survive.
Li Qingyuan bit her lip, frowned firmly and said, "Your Highness, Luo Cairen is General Luo's only daughter, so how can she have an older brother? I saw with my own eyes that the two of them behaved intimately, so they must be lovers!"<
/p>
"Your Highness, we found it." Jing Yue rushed over and reported, "General Luo does have an illegitimate son, who is similar in age to this man."
Hearing this, Li Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but she saw Beigong Tengxiao's sharp eyes glaring at her.
"Pah!" Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and hit Li Qingyuan in the face.
Li Qingyuan hurriedly knelt down, crying and begging for mercy: "I know my mistake! I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore! Your Highness, calm down! Your Highness, calm down!"
Beigong Tengxiao did not look at her again, but looked at Luo Bai in front of him.
Luo Bai never saluted Beigong Tengxiao from the beginning to the end, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with her, he just repeated "brother", his eyes were red, and his black pupils revealed unconcealable despair.
.
Seeing that Beigong Tengxiao was about to fall in love with Luo Bai, Chu Jiaoli said: "Luo Cairen, if you marry into our prince's house and your brother dies in the house, we will definitely have a good burial. From now on, don't move."
What kind of crooked thoughts are there? Staying peacefully in the Prince's Mansion will never happen again."
