Chapter 144 Cheated
"I..." Yan Qingning could not tell the joy or anger in the man's voice, it could even be described as gentle.
But she felt even more uneasy. What did he mean by asking her this?
Yan Qing would rather not think that the man was clearly in a gloomy mood just now, and then it became sunny and bright in an instant.
Her mind raced as she analyzed the purpose of his question.
If she told the truth, it would inevitably implicate Xia Yu.
But she doesn't want to tell the truth. Who doesn't have some secrets?
No one wants to be like a clean and transparent piece of paper, because that would be like handing oneself over to others.
In just a moment, Yan Qingning revealed a shy expression, hesitant to speak, and said shyly: "Your Majesty... miss me?"
"What did you say?" Chu Beiqing didn't quite believe what he heard.
His eyes were dark and gloomy.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I, I..." Yan Qingning secretly pinched the acupoints on her upper hand. A blush naturally appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes became more moist.
She seemed a little frightened, and hurriedly explained: "I know that what I said was too straightforward, and it was a bit abrupt and presumptuous...
But I just wanted to test the prince’s feelings, so I stayed outside for a day, wanting to see if the prince would worry about me and miss me if he couldn’t find me, because I, I like…”
He didn't dare to say any more of the unfinished words and just fell silent, as if he didn't dare or was embarrassed to say them out loud, so his words were ambiguous and vague.
But it makes people think of what it is.
"what?"
The moment Chu Beiqing saw her, all his worries and anxieties turned into hidden anger, but that hidden anger was almost wiped out by her sudden confession.
For some reason, when Chu Beiqing met the girl's bright eyes, his ears felt hot and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"Are you teasing me?"
Chu Beiqing pretended to be calm and said sternly, his face became even gloomier.
He did not feel that she was frivolous at all for her abrupt words that sounded like teasing. Instead, he felt a little more inexplicably happy in his heart...
"Ah? I dare not, how could I tease you, Your Majesty? I, I am expressing my feelings... Your Majesty, yes, I am sorry.
It was my delusion, my greed, and my overthinking." Yan Qingning was afraid of his punishment, so she hastily explained.
"I am actually just one of the canaries in the backyard. How could I dream of becoming the most special one in the prince's heart?
I overestimated my own abilities." Yan Qingning immediately lowered her eyebrows, her eyes showing unconcealed disappointment and bitterness: "I'm sorry, I've caused trouble to the prince, I'll take my leave..."
After saying this, Yan Qingning seemed unable to face him anymore. She bowed hurriedly, turned around and left.
Like crying out of sadness...
She moved so fast that Chu Beiqing didn't have time to call her.
For a moment, he kept reaching out his hand.
The desk in front of him hindered his legs and feet, preventing him from moving.
It also blocked all his words...
Chu Beiqing stared at the empty door in a daze.
He wanted to veto what she said.
He never treated her like a canary.
But she was somewhat reluctant to admit that she was the special one in the backyard.
He wanted to say...
He didn't know what to say.
Finally, when his troubled heart calmed down, he finally returned to a rational and calm state, and he found that she had not given any explanation for where she had been today.
She didn't answer him, and she didn't buy anything the whole afternoon as the coachman had suggested.
She didn't even have the intention of asking him to keep the money she claimed to have recovered.
When they met, she gave him an unexpected confession, which made him confused...
This cunning little fox!
Just let her get away by talking to herself.
Chu Beiqing's restless heart gradually calmed down.
Yes, how could he forget King Rui?
"Your Highness?" Shu Hui couldn't hear any instructions or movements from his master, so he couldn't help but come in.
But he was shocked. The master's face was even darker than before, as if there was a violent storm.
"My Lord, would you like me to have Concubine Ning captured and treated as a slave?"
Judging from the book, it must be Concubine Ning who made the prince angry.
If you dare to anger the prince, you will be severely punished.
"Severe punishment?" Chu Beiqing said in a low voice, "Is she a prisoner?"
Shu Hui replied confidently, "She made the prince angry..."
"Get out." Chu Beiqing was too lazy to explain to Shu Hui.
Book reply: Humph, Concubine Ning is dead, look how angry the prince is!
……
Yan Qingning went straight into the west wing, closed the door, leaned her back against the door, and then covered her pounding heart with a lingering fear on her face.
Oh my god, it's just like bungee jumping, so scary.
But no matter what, I finally passed this level.
So that night, Yan Qingning naturally stayed in the west wing.
……
That night, dark clouds covered the moon.
A petite, tightly wrapped figure, protected by two men in black, silently jumped out of the back wall of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Several people went into the quiet streets with a clear purpose.
It stopped in front of a tall gate and deep courtyard, and faint sounds of piano could be heard from inside.
There were two soft knocks on the door, and soon the door was opened until there was just enough space for one person to enter.
Three figures flashed into the door one after another.
Then the door closed.
The lights in the room flickered, and a petite figure entered the room and then closed the door.
Young Master Ruyu sat down in front of the zither, plucking the strings with his fingers from time to time.
The man didn't even raise his head, but said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what secret do you want to tell me about her?"
Yan Xiwei raised her hand and took off the hood on her head. "Your Majesty is straightforward. I wonder if Your Majesty wants to have Yan Qingning?"
Chu Yuanli's charming swallow-like eyes shrank, and a bit more coldness appeared. "Princess Qing, what exactly are you talking about? I don't have time to guess with you."
It's like this again and again, he is always impatient with himself.
She was his wife in the previous life, and he blamed her for stealing the position of princess from his beloved. Whenever he faced her, he was always disgusted and rude to her.
But in his previous life, if he really didn't want to marry her, why did he marry her?
His mother's family is not without people, and he is not someone who can be manipulated and has no power to resist. If he really wants to refuse, he can refuse it even if he gives up everything he has.
After all, there is room for his love!
Since you married her legally, why don't you treat her well?
She is also a woman...
She also hopes to have a husband who loves, cares for and respects her. If she is rejected and hurt by her husband, she will feel heartbroken and hurt.
The resentment and anger hidden in Yan Xiwei's heart intertwined into a monstrous hatred, but surprisingly, she suppressed it. She even smiled gently, "Now Yan Qingning has moved into my husband's yard...
I believe that love grows over time... Is Prince Rui really confident that my sister Qing Ning will not fall in love with someone else?"
Sure enough, her words successfully hit Chu Yuanli's pain point.
With a bang, the strings broke.
Bright red blood suddenly dripped from the man's white fingers onto the zither.
