Chapter 144: Grasping His Fingers
Zhao Qingxun knew the whole story between Pei Zhuo and Zhao Qiyue best, and he sighed after hearing it.

"I have to ask Qi Yue about this to see if she is willing to go with you."

Zhao Qiyue, who was suddenly invited here for unknown reasons, was still a little confused.

After hearing Zhao Qingxun explain Pei Zhuo's meaning, Zhao Qiyue suddenly realized and was stunned for a long time without saying anything.

Pei Zhuo felt like he was being roasted on fire every second he waited. To prevent Zhao Qiyue from refusing, he added:

"I'll give you this one chance. You can go or not. Daxia has also extended an olive branch to Xirong. At worst, I can marry the princess of Daxia."

Empress Lü frowned as she listened. "Listen, what are you talking about? You dare to boss the princess around now? If I really follow you in the future, how will I live? We won't agree to your request!"

"I'll go with you."

As soon as Empress Lu finished speaking, Zhao Qiyue suddenly spoke.

Pei Zhuo was flustered for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What did you say?"

Zhao Qiyue looked in Pei Zhuo's direction, glanced at his outline and repeated: "I said, I am willing to go with you."

The room suddenly became quiet. Pei Zhuo's Adam's apple rolled. He was stunned for two breaths, turned his eyes away and looked outside. His voice was stiff:

"Then hurry up, pack up and go, the team is waiting."

Zhao Qiyue went back to the yard to clean up, and Empress Lu was beside him, crying:

"Damn Pei Zhuo, he must have tricked you away and abused you, how could you agree to that?"

"We definitely can't go to Xirong, that's a den of wolves and tigers."

"And your body, but..."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiyue, who had not reacted until now, finally spoke up: "Mother, please don't tell him about this."

Empress Lu's eyes widened: "You are not afraid of him. Besides, you can hide it for a while, but can you hide it for a lifetime?"

Zhao Qiyue said in a light tone: "We'll talk about the future later." She just wanted to give herself a chance.

Xiaotao packed all of Zhao Qiyue's things. Time was too short, so she only packed a few bags. Including Xiaotao, that was all she had.

When he went out, Pei Zhuo had been waiting for a long time.

He watched Zhao Qiyue walk over, raised his foot and walked out, and said coldly: "Let's go."

He walked in front, and Xiaotao followed behind, supporting Zhao Qiyue.

Although Zhao Qiyue was very familiar with the terrain of the palace, Pei Zhuo's steps were too fast and she almost fell several times.

As they were walking, Zhao Qiyue suddenly said, "Pei Zhuo."

Pei Zhuo paused, his eyes suddenly darkened, he straightened his back and didn't dare to look back, he asked coldly: "What's wrong?"

At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind: Did she regret it?

After he stopped, Zhao Qiyue took two quick steps to catch up, raised her hand to hold his wrist, moved down, held his fingers, and said softly: "Can you walk slower? I can't keep up."

Pei Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and when he spoke, his face was a little impatient: "It's really troublesome."

Although he said this, he didn't loosen his hand.

When they arrived in front of the carriage, Zhao Qiyue was helped by Xiaotao to get on the carriage. Pei Zhuo glanced at his empty hands and pursed his lips.

After setting off, Pei Zhuo looked back from time to time, which made Helian Sheng tease him: "Everyone is on the bus, they can't run away. If you want to go and see, just go directly, why be so reserved."

Pei Zhuo retracted his gaze and said in a lukewarm tone: "Who wants to see her?"

Helian Sheng did not comment: "Well, since you don't care, you probably don't care about whether the carriage is comfortable to sit in, and there is not even tea and soft mattresses, so let the princess suffer."

Pei Zhuo paused after hearing this and said in a rough voice, "What?"
