Chapter 3

Liu Piaopiao didn't dare to take a breath, the fear engraved in her heart made her freeze.The cold air hit the limbs and bones, shaking for no reason.

It seemed that the next moment, Zhou Wenqing's fists and kicks were about to land on her.

Liu Piaopiao held He Zhi's hand, beads of sweat trickled down her forehead and into her eyes, making her tremble with pain.

"Hezhi, I'm afraid."

As if crying, she approached He Zhi.

As much as Liu Piaopiao liked Zhou Wenqing in her previous life, she was as much afraid of him in this life.

Liu Piaopiao met Zhou Wenqing for the first time when she was 14 years old when her love first started.

The young man was leaning against the railing of the Star Picking Building, carrying a white porcelain wine bottle.The wind blew his loose robes, and his brows and eyes were wild.

Liu Piaopiao sank in with just one glance.

Zhou Wenqing didn't like her, and Liu Piaopiao didn't care either.People's hearts are fleshy, and there is no way they can't keep warm after a long time.It's just a rock, and Liu Piaopiao is confident that it will be hot.

How wrong she was.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

He Zhi glanced at Zhou Wenqing, and the other party walked over angrily.

Liu Piaopiao, usually entangled him so much, why did he pretend not to see it when he saw it?
Can you really empathize and stop falling in love?

Zhou Wenqing shook his head, no, the girl saw him as if she saw a ghost.I don't know, I thought he did something out of nature, otherwise how could he scare Liu Piaopiao like this.

He Zhi also found it strange that Liu Piaopiao cared about Zhou Wenqing the most.On weekdays, he would always send Hezhi to inquire about Zhou Wenqing's whereabouts, so as to create chance encounters.I am reluctant to eat meat, but use the money to buy fashionable pastries, or else it is a novelty that princes and nobles like.It was like presenting treasures to Zhou Wenqing, although in the eyes of the other party, they were all worthless things.After all, Liu Piaopiao didn't have much money to buy expensive and exquisite crafts.Those things are similar to folding fans and snuff bottles.Most of them are of high quality and low price, but in Zhou Wenqing's eyes, only two words are cheap.

Even so, Liu Piaopiao still enjoys it.

Zhou Wenqing smiled, she could laugh all day.

Logically speaking, Liu Piaopiao should be as excited as an eagle seeing a rabbit when he sees Zhou Wenqing.Why is he so frightened that He Zhi's hand hurts when he is being held.

Liu Piaopiao looked at He Zhi, seeming to draw a little strength from her eyes.Taking a deep breath, the limbs were able to move again.She smiled wryly, and said, "He Zhi, if I said that I had a dream. In the dream, I married Zhou Wenqing, but was tortured by him for half my life, and finally froze to death, would you believe me?"

He Zhi didn't believe it at all, but he saw Liu Piaopiao's eyes full of misery.That sad look seemed to be not a dream, but a life she had actually experienced.

He Zhi's heart couldn't help but tugged.

"I believe, miss, I believe." She supported Liu Piaopiao's crumbling body, "We ignore him."

However, Zhou Wenqing chased after him, and the boy was still the same boy.Eyebrows like stars and moon, eyes like dark obsidian.It's heart-shattering to be angry and beautiful.

Liu Piaopiao turned her face away from him, and only asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Wenqing raised his chin, with an air of superiority.

"I haven't seen you in days."

If it was her previous life, Liu Piaopiao would only feel happy.She felt that Zhou Wenqing cared about her own performance, but she could understand after living a lifetime.Zhou Wenqing was just a pity that Liu Piaopiao, who was sticking to him like a dog, suddenly stopped circling around him.Just ask, it's hard to get used to a person whose eyes are all about himself.Although I don't like her very much, but it's inevitable that I will feel lost when she suddenly disappears one day.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Wenqing just needed Liu Piaopiao's unwavering admiration.And, don't allow it to be transferred to others.Even if Zhou Wenqing didn't need it, he could condescend to maintain the self-esteem of this little follower.

Liu Piaopiao raised her eyes, the person whom she had kept in her heart all her life in her previous life now seemed to have only indescribable disgust.

"Well, don't fall in love with me."

Liu Piaopiao's eyes were so cold that Zhou Wenqing was at a loss for what to do.He clearly remembered that Liu Piaopiao always looked at him enthusiastically, with indelible love.

Zhou Wenqing was annoyed by that selfish and strong emotion more than once. He often said to his friends: "That stupid woman Liu Piaopiao, if you can stay away from me, I really want to burn incense."

But when this day really came, Zhou Wenqing didn't know what to do.

After all, they also had a tender and sweet time at the beginning of their previous lives.Although he disliked it, Zhou Wenqing had feelings for Liu Piaopiao at first.

But now, in order to avoid going down that wrong path, Liu Piaopiao cut it off.How could Zhou Wenqing not be sad?
He looked at Liu Piaopiao again, but the other person's expression didn't change a bit, there was fear, disgust and hatred.

hatred?Why does Liu Piaopiao hate herself?
Zhou Wenqing couldn't figure it out, so he searched carefully in his mind.He remembered that three days ago he threw the candied green plums made by Liu Piaopiao to the beggar.

But what Liu Piaopiao said clearly at the time was: "It doesn't matter, it's good to let them eat, it's not a waste after all."

Then, Zhou Wenqing turned his head and left.

Perhaps this kind of behavior hurt Liu Piaopiao's self-esteem, so is she like this?

Zhou Wenqing lowered his voice, "I'm sorry."

Liu Piaopiao looked sideways: "What?"

"I shouldn't have thrown your greengage compote."

And this thing?
Liu Piaopiao squinted her eyes, as if Zhou Wenqing had really hurt her self-esteem three days ago.But this is nothing compared to marrying him, Liu Piaopiao sighed.

"Zhou Wenqing, I won't pester you anymore. I'm sorry for what happened before, and you won't see me again in the future."

"why!"

Zhou Wenqing was dumbfounded, and his heart suddenly collapsed.He is only 17 years old, and he just took up the post of Zuo Changshi not long ago.It should be a proud boy, but the relationship is blank.I also fell in love with Bai Yueguang, but it's a pity that the woman has married someone else's wife.He said that he disliked Liu Piaopiao, but it was actually a result of human vanity.

What you get is always not cherished.

"Liu Piaopiao, who are you looking at again!"

Liu Piaopiao was taken aback, she straightened her neck: "None of your business!"

Zhou Wenqing frowned and stood in front of Liu Piaopiao, as if I wouldn't leave unless you told me.

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Liu Piaopiao was afraid that what happened today would reach Liu Yirong's ears.A bad reputation is a minor matter, but being beaten is a major matter.She was heartbroken, and if she wanted to talk about it, she would simply talk about someone who could relegate Zhou Wenqing to the dust.

"Prince." Liu Piaopiao glanced at Zhou Wenqing provocatively, trying to suppress her desire to run away, "His Royal Highness is a fairy, isn't it normal for me to empathize with you?"

"Heh." Zhou Wenqing laughed when he heard the words. He pointed to the sky and then to the ground, "You and the prince are so different."

Liu Piaopiao was taken aback, Zhou Wenqing really hadn't changed at all, just like the mean look in his previous life.

She pursed her lips: "It's okay, I can never marry for the sake of the prince."

After hearing this, Zhou Wenqing probably touched some string.He pulled the corner of his mouth: "You are really crazy."

After finishing speaking, he reached out to grab Liu Piaopiao's hand.

The conscience of heaven and earth, in Zhou Wenqing's eyes, Liu Piaopiao's clothes are too thin.His hands were turning purple from the cold, but in Liu Piaopiao's eyes, it had another meaning.

Look, he's about to make a move.

As long as you don't follow that person's wishes and answer slowly, you will be beaten severely.

He was thrown to the ground and pinned to the table by his hair.

It hurts, it hurts!

Liu Piaopiao's face was pale, she pulled He Zhi with trembling lips and turned around and ran wildly.

He Zhi didn't know why, but knew that Liu Piaopiao was hiding from Zhou Wenqing.So in the process of running, he easily overturned the vendor's stall.She yelled loudly: "Let's pay the bill to Chief Zuo!"

Zhou Wenqing shouted while chasing, "Why are you running!"

Liu Piaopiao had changed so much that he couldn't figure it out.I wanted to ask for clarification, but was held back by the vendors.He had no choice but to untie the money bag, and the vendor Liu Piaopiao had disappeared without a trace after he finished dealing with it.

I just feel like a heart is about to jump out of my chest. If talking to Zhou Wenqing is suffering, then physical contact is simply too late.

She ran like a headless chicken, stumbled and fell in front of a carriage.

The accompanying guard looked surprised: "Fifth Miss?"

It is Chang Qing, the prince's accompanying bodyguard.

Liu Piaopiao was also taken aback, the prince returned to the East Palace early?

The pain in her knee made her unable to get up, and it was He Zhi who helped her to kneel down to make amends.

"The courtier's daughter deserves to die. She offended the prince. Please punish the prince."

Lu Ji lifted the curtain of the car, and Liu Piaopiao changed his clothes, which were not the blue dresses he had when he had dinner.

I don't know why I ran so fast, my chest was heaving, and my hair was sweating and scattered.

She blushed violently and looked terrified.

Is someone giving her a hard time?

Lu Ji frowned, only to realize that Liu Piaopiao's knees were oozing blood, and his palms were also scratched extensively.

She could bear it, not crying or shouting.

Seeing Lu Ji sizing him up, Liu Piaopiao was even more frightened, the prince was uncertain.No one in the government and the opposition has figured him out, what if my actions today annoy the prince and affect the entire Liu family.Then she really deserves to die.

Thinking of this, Liu Piaopiao lowered her head.

Sweat flowed into the eyes again, and it hurt sharply.

However, Lu Ji just patted the crimson wooden beam.

"Does it hurt?"

"Huh?" Liu Piaopiao realized later, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty is not in pain."

Lu Ji looked back and saw Zhou Wenqing who had come late, and then glanced at the panicked Liu Piaopiao who seemed to understand something.

He was in a busy city, so he had no intention of being conspicuous.

Lu Ji ordered the maid who accompanied him, and the other party immediately supported Liu Piaopiao together with He Zhi.

"Go to the East Palace to take care of your injury."

As for getting into the carriage, that would spell trouble for her.

With the entourage, it is not easy to spread gossip.

Zhou Wenqing couldn't help clicking his tongue when he saw Liu Piaopiao walking in the ranks of the prince and his party. Could it be that she really got the prince's favor?

Thinking about it again, Liu Piaopiao is the fifth daughter of Zhong Shuling after all, so it's not a big deal for her to join the entourage with this relationship.

Zhou Wenqing lowered his head and bowed to show respect for the royal family.His eyes followed Liu Piaopiao without any wandering.
