Chapter 123 I Actually Miss You

In the next few days, Zhao Qiyue didn't see Pei Zhuo again. At this time, she realized that the capital city was so big and crowded that it was not so easy to see someone.

With more than ten days left before the wedding, according to the rules of the State of Zhao, Zhao Qiyue and Shen Jie had to worship Buddha together.

There are many procedures before marriage, and this is just one of them. Zhao Qiyue didn't pay much attention to it until she saw Pei Zhuo among the accompanying guards.

We are going out of the city today, and the Jinyiwei has specially sent a team of people to protect us.

Zhao Qiyue was sitting in the carriage. When she lifted the curtain, she happened to see Pei Zhuo riding past her on horseback. Their eyes met, and she quickly lowered the curtain.

I don't know why, but my heart beat faster.

After arriving at Xiangshan, the group went up the mountain. The relationship between Zhao Qiyue and Shen Jie could no longer go back to the way it was before.

Zhao Qiyue didn't give him a good look. Shen Jie was quite dissatisfied about Lu Qiqi being sent away. The two of them were just getting along for the sake of face. When there was no one around, they had nothing to say.

The two of them went to see the host separately and also had to copy some things. Zhao Qiyue went in first and stayed inside for half an hour, followed by Shen Jie.

Thinking that he would have to wait for a while, Zhao Qiyue had nothing to do and decided to go for a walk around.

Xiangshan is an important place for Buddhism, and it is heavily guarded today, so it is very safe.

Zhao Qiyue dismissed the servants and strolled around by herself, but soon she realized something was wrong, as if someone was following her.

But the man had no intention of hiding anything, so it wasn't hard to find out who it was.

Zhao Qiyue's mind moved slightly, and he turned sideways and hid behind a big tree.

The tracker who lost his target suddenly became panicked and started looking for someone everywhere.

When he walked up to him, Zhao Qiyue suddenly jumped out from behind.

"You...uh."

She didn't expect that she would be choked.

Pei Zhuo was startled and immediately let go, rushing forward to check Zhao Qiyue's neck.

"Are you okay? I thought there was an assassin."

Zhao Qiyue didn't expect him to react so violently, and said unhappily: "You are like an assassin, why are you following me all the time." "I..." Pei Zhuo explained haltingly.

"I'm afraid you are in danger."

Zhao Qiyue gave him a glare, and Pei Zhuo immediately changed his tone: "Okay, actually I missed you."

Zhao Qiyue: ...

She didn't know how it started, but by the time she came to her senses, Pei Zhuo had already pushed her against a tree and was kissing her until she felt limp all over.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Qiyue adjusted her dress, glanced at Pei Zhuo and said, "Are you okay?"

Pei Zhuo stood alone facing the tree, calmly speaking:

"You go first, I'll go back when you're far away."

On the way back, Zhao Qiyue was always absent-minded. Shen Jie saw that her face was red and her lips were also very red, so he asked with concern:

"What's wrong with you? Are you suffering from heat stroke?"

It was midsummer these two days and the temperature was unusually high. Shen Jie knew that she was afraid of heat.

Even though I have some grudges in my heart, we still have to live together in the future and I can't always be cold to each other.

But Zhao Qiyue didn't want to pay attention to him at all. She turned her head and looked away, saying expressionlessly, "I'm fine."

She didn't want to say it, and Shen Jie wouldn't make herself unhappy, as there was still a lot of time to live.

The reason why Zhao Qingxun attached so much importance to Zhao Qiyue's marriage was not only because Zhao Qiyue was his sister, but also because it was the first major event after he ascended the throne.

The political situation was in chaos at that time, and it was not easy for Zhao Qiyue to get married safely, otherwise he would not have to send the Jinyiwei to protect her.

As it turned out, Zhao Qingxun's worries were not unnecessary. Not long after Zhao Qiyue and his party left Xiangshan, they encountered an assassin.

The assassin's target was Zhao Qiyue, and he wanted to capture her to negotiate terms with Zhao Qingxun.
