Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chapter 26: Stealing fragrance in the middle of the night, I’m here to coax you
Just when Xia Houqi was confused, Tafeng returned to the palace with the news he had found.

Seeing Ta Feng return, Xia Houqi temporarily put aside the reasons why Chu Xi was angry with him and went to listen to his report.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Are you still waiting for me to ask you?"

Xiahou Qi transferred all the anger he received from Chu Xi to Ta Feng.

"Prince Qi, it's not that my subordinates are dull, but that they don't know where to start. The identity of this empress is really strange."

"Oh? What do you mean by this?"

Xia Houqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ta Feng.

"Reporting to the prince, my subordinates followed the prince's instructions and went to investigate Di Ji's previous affairs. They also asked about Di Ji where she lived, but they had no impression of Di Ji. It's like..."

"Like what?"

"It's as if Di Ji appeared out of thin air. People who have impressions of Di Ji say that Di Ji suddenly appeared in Shengjing a month ago. I have never seen her before, and they all thought that she might have escaped somewhere else. They were just refugees, so I didn’t pay much attention.”

After hearing what Ta Feng said, Xia Houqi looked very ugly.

Although he had suspected that her identity was suspicious before, he found her according to the guidance of the Imperial Master, and she looked like he knew she was His Majesty's child, so he did not speculate too much on her.

As a result, the results of Windwalker's investigation made him very confused again.

"Then go check and see where she was a month ago until you find out where she came from -"

"Yes, I will do my best."

After saying that, Windwalker withdrew again.

Xia Houqi rubbed his forehead with a headache:

Although she was indeed the exiled Emperor Ji, Xia Houqi would really not be at ease if her appearance and past were not investigated clearly.

There is another simple way, he can directly ask Chu Xi where she came from and where she has lived in the past ten years.

But will she tell him?
Xia Houqi's intuition told him that not only would Chu Xi not tell the truth, but he would even talk nonsense, as if he was hiding something.

And last time another Chu Xi appeared in front of him. All of this was too puzzling.

Xiahou stayed in the study tonight and did not go to Luo Xing Pavilion, but he still sent a message saying that he would not go to rest tonight.

Hearing the news, Chu Xi felt at ease, but it was best to come over so as not to disturb her eyes.

"My lord, did you and the prince quarrel?" Feiyun asked cautiously.

"No, how can I quarrel with the noble prince? I'm not worthy." Chu Xi covered her mouth with her hands and yawned.

"But the prince"

"Okay, I'm tired. You can go down. You don't have to wait outside the door. Go back and rest."

Chu Xi didn't want to hear them mention Xia Houqi anymore, so she drove them away.

Fei Yun wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Huan Yun's look.

Then the two people blessed themselves and left.

"Huanyun, why don't you let me continue asking?"

After walking out of the house, Feiyun glanced at Huanyun with some complaints.

"Can't you see that the little master is unhappy? If you keep talking, the little master will be angry." Huan Yun glanced at Fei Yun with a look of irony.

"I am also doing it for my little master's good. Only if I get along well with the prince can I live a good life in the prince's palace. Did I do anything wrong?"

"You did nothing wrong, but they are masters and we are just slaves. How can slaves interfere in the affairs of masters? Feiyun, you just overstepped your bounds."

"Then will the little master be angry with me?" "No, the little master has a good temper and will not anger others casually. From now on, we can just do our own thing and don't ask about other things." Huan Yunti Pointed.

Feiyun nodded hurriedly, saying that he would never do this again.

Initially, Chu Xi thought that he would fall asleep quickly without Xia Houqi harassing him.

But in fact, she was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

What happened to her?She was obviously so annoyed with Xia Houqi, but when he wasn't by her side, she couldn't sleep!
Just when Chu Xi broke the pot and was about to stay up late, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

"squeak--"

The door was pushed open, and the man walked in. The footsteps gradually approached the bed. It was not until a familiar scent of sandalwood lingered on the tip of her nose that Chu Xi confirmed the identity of the visitor.

Xia Houqi sat beside the bed, looking at her features carefully through the moonlight outside the window.

I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but at the moment when I was about to touch it, I withdrew my hand.

Then, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers, still touching her lips.

"You didn't sleep?"

When he kissed her just now, Chu Xi was caught off guard and subconsciously bit the person who attacked her.

Hearing this, Chu Xi stopped pretending to be asleep and sat up directly, staring at Xia Houqi angrily.

After seeing this, Xia Houqi laughed in a low voice, and then went to light the candle.

The faint candlelight illuminated half of the room, and Xia Houqi could clearly see the sullen look on Chu Xi's face.

"It's puffy, like a puffer fish."

He was even in the mood to tease her, which made Hatsuki even more angry.

"You sneak attack on me in the middle of the night, you don't have martial ethics!"

"You are not a martial artist, so why do I need to lecture you on martial ethics? Besides, are you allowed to pretend to be asleep?"

"I just pretended to be asleep and didn't affect anyone. But you came to my room in the middle of the night and secretly kissed me. It's simply a hooligan act! I strongly condemn you!"

In addition to strong condemnation, Chu Xi seemed to be unable to do anything to Xia Houqi. This was what made her most ashamed.

"Then I will ask you to kiss me back. Don't be angry. Being angry is not good for your health." Xia Houqi chuckled softly.

Chu Xi's beautiful eyes widened, as if she was once again surprised by Xia Houqi's shamelessness.

"Hmph, scoundrel, didn't you say you would sleep in the study at night? Why did you come here?"

"But how can I coax you here? Aren't you still angry with me during the day? It's obvious that I am going to die anyway, why are you angry?" Xia Houqi said very calmly, and then looked into Chu Xi's eyes.

"Then why don't you reflect on why you made me angry?"

"If you don't tell me, how will I know why you are angry? If you tell me, I will avoid making you angry again, okay?"

Xia Houqi's tone was full of coaxing, like coaxing a child.

When Chu Xi heard what he said, her face turned red and she felt embarrassed.

"Yesterday, you thought my handwriting was ugly."

Xia Houqi was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Just because of this?"

"Yes, that's why! I was just a little beggar before. If I can read, it's very good. If I can't write, it's normal. You can't laugh at me because my handwriting is ugly." Chu Xi looked at Xia Hou seriously. He said with abandoned eyes.
