Chong Ximo looked at Chu Qiao with his deep eyes. Unconsciously, he thought of the scene where she and An Ge were embracing. His face became stern and he looked away.
"Let's leave after a while, they are still looking outside."
After saying this, Chong Ximo moved his steps, walked to the table indifferently, poured a glass of water and handed it to Chu Qiao.
"You have been running so hard, are you thirsty?"
Chu Qiao obviously felt that the tone of Chong Ximo's words was different from a few days ago, but she couldn't tell what the difference was. It seemed that something made him become much colder.
Chu Qiao stretched out her hand and took the water glass.
She had run with all her strength just now, and her throat was still smoking. She really needed water.
After a few sips, Chu Qiao drank up all the water in the cup. Chu Qiao used her pink tongue to lick the water stains at the corner of her mouth. Although it was just a small inadvertent move, Chong Ximo instantly looked away, resolutely
His face turned slightly red.
Chu Qiao realized something immediately. She felt shy and her face turned red. She could only lower her eyes and say thank you.
"Coming to you so late is disturbing your rest."
"It's okay, I haven't slept yet."
Chong Ximo did not sleep. His clothes were still neat and there was a little bit of mud hanging on the sides of his shoes. It seemed that he had been out for a long time and had only been back for a while. What made Mr. Chong so upset?
"Sit down, your legs are still shaking." Chong Ximo glanced at Chu Qiao's legs and pointed to the chair.
Only then did Chu Qiao realize that not only her legs were shaking, but her body was shaking too. Even her mouth couldn't stop trembling. The behavior of the eunuchs just now frightened her. What was shaking in front of her eyes was the hard jade pestle.
.
The room became quiet, and Chong Ximo waited for Chu Qiao to sit down.
Suddenly, Chu Qiao became more cautious. The only way to relieve this embarrassment was to leave, but the people outside had not left yet, so she did not dare to walk out of the door easily.
Her hands desperately tore at the hem of her clothes, and after struggling for a long time, Chu Qiao sat down obediently, but kept her head lowered, not daring to look at him.
"What did you do wrong?" he asked dully.
"No, I didn't." Chu Qiao shook her hand. She didn't do anything wrong, she just got into some trouble.
"them……"
Chong Ximo glanced at the door and continued: "It's the people around Eunuch Wang."
"It may be some misunderstanding, I didn't do anything." Chu Qiao felt that what happened today was really hard to talk about. If she told it, with Chong Ximo's temper, it would definitely cause an uproar, and she would be even more unable to get rid of it.
It was troublesome, but it was better to settle the matter. After tonight, they gave up.
There was another moment of silence, and Chong Ximo did not ask why the people outside were chasing her. Li Chunxiang was a troublemaker. She kept doing big and small things and offended many people. He was used to it.
But the silence only lasted for a moment, and he spoke again.
"I heard that you are going to marry the Thirteenth Prince?"
Poof! Chu Qiao quickly raised her eyes and looked at Chong Ximo in shock.
Unexpectedly, this matter reached his ears so quickly. Does this mean that most of the people in the palace are aware of this possibility? It seems that as a person involved, she has not nodded in agreement? This An Ge is really ironclad.
It embarrassed her.
It is such an honor to marry the Thirteenth Prince and become a princess. I don’t know how many palace ladies want to envy Li Chunxiang, but for Chu Qiao, this is a big trouble.
"There may be some misunderstanding about this matter..." Chu Qiao's fingers grabbed the corner of her clothes, almost tearing a hole out of that piece.
"How could it be a misunderstanding? The emperor has to issue an imperial edict."
Not only did Chong Ximo know about this matter, but he also knew that it was the Emperor's sole responsibility. The Emperor's approval could not be a misunderstanding, not to mention that this woman was still confused.
Chu Qiao bit her lip, pursed her lips, lowered her eyes again, and spoke in an extremely low voice.
"This time, I'm in trouble again."
"Trouble?" Chong Ximo suddenly sneered, and his laughter sent chills to Chu Qiao's bones.
"Laugh, what are you laughing at?"
Chu Qiao felt that it was embarrassing enough, but he was still in the mood to laugh? It's true that no one is in a hurry if the problem doesn't fall on anyone.
Chong Ximo filled the water glass again, picked it up, and suddenly drank it in one gulp. Then he placed the water glass heavily on the table. Perhaps because of his strength, the water glass hit the table and broke into two halves.
.
"Do you really like An Ge that much?" His voice became deeper and he asked in a questioning tone, his eyes seeming to obliterate Chu Qiao.
"like?
What do you like?
Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer. Does she like An Ge? To be honest, An Ge is very good, very gentle, uncomplicated, leisurely and elegant. It is rare to find a good man who makes people feel at ease. If
If it weren't for this embarrassing situation, marrying him would be a good choice. In fact, it was the same. Chu Qiao never hated him.
That little Mu Fang still stayed in her room. In her free time, Chu Qiao would play once or twice, and she felt that her mood was much more leisurely, but she didn't have much time to have such leisurely fun.
Seeing that Chu Qiao did not directly deny it, Chong Ximo's face became even more ugly.
"No wonder, you would rather stay in the palace than leave here with me. It turns out that you have a better place to go. The Thirteenth Princess is indeed good. It is better than following me, a half-dead sick man..."
His thick eyebrows were trembling with shame, and his eyes were painful, troubled by the fact that he believed to be unchangeable.
Chu Qiao shook her head, not knowing how to explain. He and An Ge were both very good to her. One had saved her life many times, and the other took good care of her every day. But if either of them, Chu Qiao,
Qiao Du couldn't choose. Miss Chu Si couldn't harm them. They should have better women to accompany them.
"I never disliked your illness, nor did I expect anything extravagantly because An Ge is the prince. You believe me." Chu Qiao tried her best to explain.
"But in fact, you are going to marry him." Chong Ximo was very frustrated.
"That's not the case, Chong Ximo. In fact, we...we..." Chu Qiao stuttered a few words, but failed to say it out. She and Chong Ximo were originally two people who made a marriage contract. It was he who betrayed his trust.
Choosing to give up, how could it be considered that Chu Qiao disliked him.
"Do we really have no hope?" Chong Ximo's voice was much lower and his anger was less. He didn't seem to have the confidence to compete with the Thirteenth Prince, not to mention he also had a blood disease.
"How about we just not talk about this?"
Chu Qiao also softened her heart, hesitated for a while and continued: "Chong Ximo, can you do me a favor?"
