The surrounding temperature was a bit low, so Qiao Qingqing moved her little toes and stepped on the snow with the soles of her feet. She made a "clucking" sound, successfully alerting the two people in the room.
"who?"
The familiar magnetism drifted from the room. Qiao Qingqing did not hide, she straightened her back and looked at Jun Muxi with red eyes as she opened the door.
A weak question came from behind him at the right time:
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
There was a moment of surprise on Jun Muxi's face.
Footsteps in the room slowly approached, and Qiao Qingqing seemed to see the goose-yellow clothes touching the familiar black color.
In a daze, Jun Muxi suddenly raised his arms, his hands rising and falling!
There was a "pop" and someone in the room fell down.
The secret guard heard the noise and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Jun Muxi looked around and ordered in a deep voice, "No need to come in."
The surroundings were quiet again.
Jun Muxi walked out of the bedroom, frowning in disbelief, "How did you get out?"
A familiar coldness and warmth hit her face, and Qiao Qingqing felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. The sadness traveled along her blood, traveling in her heart, and finally reached the tip of her ring finger.
She rubbed it and spent a lot of effort to force herself to calm down, and then asked angrily:
"who is she?"
Jun Muxi's eyebrows slowly widened and he said, "The third young lady of the Qiao family."
"You want to marry her?" Qiao Qingqing pressed forward step by step.
"Yes." Jun Muxi didn't hide it.
"you like her?"
"No."
"You know she is the prince's wife?"
"Yes, just use the trick." Jun Muxi's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't feel that his actions had hurt the girl in front of him.
"Will you consummate the marriage with her on your wedding night?" Qiao Qingqing bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
Jun Muxi didn't expect the girl's focus to be here, and was a little stunned for a moment.
Seeing him silent, Qiao Qingqing thought he had acquiesced.
She sobbed, and tears instantly fell to her sharp chin:
"What were you doing just now? Did you hold hands? Did you hug? Were you defiled by her?"
Defile...dirty?
Jun Muxi coughed lightly, clenched his palms into fists, and put them to his lips to hide his smile.
After a long moment of silence, he calmed down and deliberately changed the topic:
"I have begged the emperor to exempt you from the death penalty. One day later, you will be exiled to Northern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang is my territory. I will send thieves to protect you secretly."
"When we get to Northern Xinjiang, what happens next?"
Seeing Qiao Qingqing's eyebrows furrowed into a cute figure eight, Jun Muxi's eyes softened, but his voice remained cold:
"I know you turned against the prince because of me, and I will protect your safety."
"Protect me?" Qiao Qingqing sneered, "You know my feelings for you, but you still don't shy away from marrying another woman? Do you still want to say that if I want, I can do it for you in Northern Xinjiang?
A concubine?"
"If you don't want to, I won't force you."
This self-proclaimed voice successfully opened the distance between the two of them again.
"Jun Muxi, what is your heart made of?"
Qiao Qingqing's shoulders were trembling and she was crying. "After being together for so long, I thought you understood my heart. You have obviously promised to get along well with me. You have already agreed! How can you be half-hearted?"
"I believe in you, Qiao San!"
The memory was awakened, and Jun Muxi's gaze was as cold as ice as he thought of all the events in his past life.
Qiao Qingqing naturally knew the circumstances of his death.
In his previous life, in order to deal with Jun Muxi, the prince used Qiao Qingqing to trick him into entering Kyoto alone.
When the cold sword tip pierced Jun Muxi's chest, the girl in his arms lost her softness in an instant.
She raised her lips proudly, facing the bright yellow dress on the high platform, and said loudly:
"I succeeded, so the position of queen is mine!"
At that time, Jun Muxi secretly swore in his heart that if he lived again, he would treat himself well.
Qiao Qingqing recalled the plot in the book, and her heart felt a little more sad.
That was the harm done to Jun Muxi by the original owner, not her...
Thinking of this, Qiao Qingqing felt even more aggrieved. She raised her sleeves, wiped her nose, and complained:
"So, what did I do wrong? Yes, yes, I did hurt you for the sake of the prince when I was a child, but that was just because I was young and ignorant. Now that I have grown up, I can distinguish right from wrong. I know who is right for me.
most important……"
Qiao Qingqing said that she did not forget to "greet" the original owner of her childhood in her heart. What kind of mess had been left behind that made her have so much trouble to clean up!
Jun Muxi was speechless by her question.
Indeed, even if Qiao Qingqing hurt him when he was a child, it was just a small backhanded move, and those unforgivable betrayals were all done in his previous life.
In this life, Qiao Qingqing has been helping him so far...
"Qiao San, this king's plan cannot withstand any mistakes. I still have doubts about your 'sensibleness'. Therefore, sending you to Northern Xinjiang is the best arrangement I can consider."
"Based on the balance?" Qiao Qingqing caught his implication, "So, it is actually your arrangement for me to go to jail?"
She used the "intermediate wish card" that day, so the almonds handed over by the prince could not suffocate her.
Could it be...
Qiao Qingqing's heart slowly sank to the bottom.
She would have been fine at first, but Jun Muxi handed her a kettle...
"Kettle?" Qiao Qingqing murmured unconsciously.
"Yes, I put Yanye camphor in the water." Jun Muxi said calmly, "I already knew the prince's plan. I was afraid that the prince would force you to eat almond cake and delay the treatment time."
"But I'm also prepared. I just eat almond cake and I'll be fine. You saw it too!"
"Cinnamomum camphora has a miraculous effect on suffocation caused by almond cake, but if taken alone, it will cause suffocation, and the symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of suffocation caused by eating almond cake..."
Jun Muxi said this with a calm expression, and her calm tone made Qiao Qingqing's heart tremble.
She opened her mouth tentatively and said in disbelief, "You poisoned me?"
"I will not let anything happen to you."
"You won't let anything happen to me?" Qiao Qingqing laughed dumbly, "So you decided to send me to prison on your own initiative and then marry a strange woman?"
"The prince has murderous intentions towards you. If you don't leave Kyoto, there is no chance of survival."
"So you want to send me away? You keep me in your house and we face it together and find a solution together, can't we?"
"Qiao San, what confidence do you have that you think you can advance and retreat with me based on your current situation? Is it because you are weak and can't take care of yourself, or is it your wishful thinking towards me?"
Jun Muxi suddenly raised his voice, and his tone became a bit rude.
The sudden surprise made Qiao Qingqing's heart hurt!
She raised her hand to cover her heart, and her throat gradually became choked. She wanted to refute, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that any explanation was in vain...
A sudden feeling of being cheated caused her always hot heart to quickly cool to freezing point:
"It turns out that you have been acting. You lied to me when you said you agreed to get along with me."
Jun Muxi didn't expect her to be so hurt, and she choked on her words.
Qiao Qingqing slowly lowered her head, letting her broken hair cover her eyes, "How could I forget that deep feelings can be acted?"
