Chong Ximo threw the steel knife heavily into the ruins, walked step by step in front of Chu Qiao, and stared into her eyes, as if he wanted to find out something in her eyes.
Chu Qiao lowered her head in embarrassment. His gaze was so sharp that she didn't dare to look directly at him.
"Thanks……"
Before Chu Qiao could say another word of thanks, Chong Ximo followed up with a question.
"Why are you in the snow in the forest?"
"Sen, forest?"
Chu Qiao nervously grasped the hem of the coarse cloth with both hands, pursed her lips, and after a long time, she uttered two words: "Accident."
"Accident? Don't tell me that you couldn't tell the direction, strayed into the forest, and even tore your clothes?" Chong Ximo took another step forward, and the white breath he exhaled hit Chu Qiao's hair, shocking him.
She couldn't breathe.
Chu Qiao had to take a step back and took a deep breath to relieve the feeling of suffocation before whispering.
"My lord, do you still think that Chunxiang has bad intentions and wants to be like a dragon and a phoenix? If so, Chunxiang has nothing to say, but Chunxiang will remember your life-saving grace and will definitely repay you if there is a chance."
After saying these words, Chu Qiao took another step back, widening the distance between her and Chong Ximo, then turned around silently, took steps, and walked away from the ruins of the wall.
This time Chong Ximo did not continue to ask questions, nor did he call her to stop, but let her walk out like this, still holding the bloody sword in his hand.
He looked at her back, his thick eyebrows furrowed. Li Chunxiang did not answer his question directly, and even avoided it.
Chu Qiao left the broken house and stood on the path back to the palace. She took a deep breath and whispered to herself that since she had entered this door, she must persevere and find out the truth.
Then she walked out of the palace in a grand manner. As for Chong Ximo... Chu Qiao felt confused in her heart. No matter what kind of person he was, the relationship between her and him was over, and they should not be entangled anymore.
"You are Chong Ximo, I am Li Chunxiang, that's all."
After Chu Qiao reminded herself, she puffed up her chest and strode westward. She hoped to completely cut off this subtle relationship this time and no longer be confused by Chong Ximo, but things were far from what she thought.
So simple, the more she tried to escape, the more she fell into a dilemma.
Behind her, Chong Ximo led the bay-red horse and followed her not far or near until her figure disappeared at the east gate of the palace, then he got on the horse and headed south.
After entering the east gate of the palace and seeing the palace guards guarding and patrolling, Chu Qiao's tense heart relaxed. Although they were not protecting her, they would not allow knife-wielding men to commit murder in the palace.
Any suspicious person who appears in the palace will be interrogated and even besieged as an assassin.
After entering the palace, Chu Qiao walked easily. When she saw the painted red door of the imperial dining room, she couldn't help but smile with relief, and she came back again.
Staring at those big characters for a long time, Chu Qiao was thinking, maybe she is really a disaster star with a hard life. Even if she encounters such a dying situation, she can come back safe and sound. Isn't this a hard life or something? Imagining Mao Dasong
Seeing Li Chunxiang come back safely like this, his expression should be uglier than seeing a ghost, right?
"Asshole! I will definitely find an opportunity to deal with you."
Chu Qiao said this angrily and walked through the door of the imperial dining room.
When she appeared at the door of the imperial dining room, a strange phenomenon happened.
All the people carrying water, delivering ingredients, cleaning eunuchs, palace maids and cooks all stopped and looked at her with big eyes and small eyes, as if they had really seen a ghost.
"Li Chunxiang?" Someone called out strangely.
"Yes, it's me, what's wrong?"
Chu Qiao glanced at her clothes uneasily. Didn't she just change into a set of coarse linen clothes? As for why everyone was so shocked? She didn't look so ugly and scary, right?
Just when Chu Qiao had difficulty understanding their expressions, there was a sudden "bang" sound behind her, and something fell to the ground. Then the water spread and flowed from her feet.
Chu Qiao slowly turned around and saw the stupid and stupid big man. He was standing there, the wooden bucket he had just brought back was spilled, and water was still spraying out from the bucket.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chu Qiao quickly stood up the barrel, and then the big guy woke up and yelled.
"Sister Chunxiang, you are not dead, Sister Chunxiang!"
The big guy rushed forward. Fortunately, he was a eunuch, otherwise Chu Qiao would really not be able to accept it. He held her with tears and runny nose, as if he was as sad as if a relative had died.
"Hey, hey, big guy, can you do it? Stop crying. Am I not doing well?" Chu Qiao was really touched at this moment. No matter why he cried her like this, these tears were sincere. He really
Treat her as a relative.
The big man wiped his eyes and suddenly cursed.
"It's all rumors and nonsense. Isn't Sister Chunxiang good? When did she get eaten by a wolf?"
"Been eaten by a wolf?"
When Chu Qiao heard this, she was also surprised. They actually thought she was eaten by a wolf? No doubt, this was what that bastard Mao Daqiu said. When he saw Chu Qiao running into the forest, he concluded that she could not come out alive, so he told her directly
Everyone, she was eaten by a wolf, which can also explain the reason why Li Chunxiang disappeared.
The big guy still looked angry and yelled loudly.
"That day, everyone in the dining room came back and you were missing. Chef Mao said that you ran around and were torn apart by wolves and carried away. What he said was true. We all thought you were dead."
"Yes, Chef Mao said that he saw it with his own eyes. He found that you were bitten by a wolf and couldn't break free, so he rushed to save you. As a result...his leg was bitten by the wolf, and he is still lying there.
I can't get off the bed." A palace maid who was sweeping the floor added.
It sounds like this is a very thrilling story. Li Chunxiang walked to the edge of the forest without knowing what was going on. At that moment, a ferocious wolf rushed out and bit Li Chunxiang's neck. Chef Mao bravely rushed out to save the beauty.
Li Chunxiang went up and tried to rescue Chunxiang from the hungry wolf, but the hungry wolf fought back and bit his thigh. He was seriously injured and could only watch as Li Chunxiang was dragged into the forest by the wolf, leaving a miserable blood trail.
This story was so horrifying that Chu Qiao squinted her eyes and listened to everyone's stories, and couldn't help laughing out loud, making everyone laugh dumbly.
"Sister Chunxiang, your neck..."
The big man poked his head over and looked carefully. It seemed that there was not even a scratch on Li Chunxiang's neck. There were no traces of wolf bites anywhere? How strange?
