Chapter 148 Can You See Me?
As soon as Pei Zhuo's words came out, everyone present looked embarrassed. Everyone knew that Helian Qi's stain was this useless son, but no one dared to point it out.

Ulaman didn't expect Pei Zhuo to not even try to save his face, and his face immediately turned dark.

When the head of the family, Helian Qi, heard that his son had gotten into trouble again, he threatened him and asked him to stay after dinner to settle the matter.

Pei Zhuo noticed that Zhao Qiyue ate very little, and thought she was embarrassed or upset by Wu Lashi's words, so he kept putting food into her bowl.

Seeing that she still didn't eat, he asked in a low voice: "The food here doesn't suit your taste?"

When Pei Zhuo spoke, his face was still cold, which made Zhao Qiyue think that he was unhappy again. She endured the discomfort and ate all the food in the bowl.

The meal ended in a not-so-peaceful atmosphere.

After returning home, Zhao Qiyue felt uncomfortable in his stomach and vomited all the food he had eaten in the morning.

In the next few days, Zhao Qiyue seemed to be in seclusion and did not leave the house.

Pei Zhuo was so busy with the wedding arrangements that he had no time to rest. He finally made some time and thought about taking Zhao Qiyue to the most famous Ice Lantern Festival in Xirong, which was also a feature of Xirong that the Zhao State could not see at all.

The most important thing is that it is a rare time for the two of them to be alone together, so they can take this opportunity to be affectionate with each other.

But when Pei Zhuo told Zhao Qiyue about it, Zhao Qiyue actually rejected him outright.

"It's too cold outside, let's just forget it."

The moment he heard these words, Pei Zhuo's face turned cold. In fact, during this period of time, he could clearly feel that Zhao Qiyue's attitude towards him had become colder, and she was not enthusiastic about getting married, as if she was reluctant.

The depression accumulated over the past few days burst out at this moment. He pressed Zhao Qiyue's shoulder and said in a rough voice:

"Can you understand clearly that I didn't force you to come here? If you were so unwilling, why did you agree at that time? You could have stayed in Zhao State and been your princess."

"Or maybe you haven't let go of Shen Jie at all, and you agreed to me just as a second choice, and you're using me for fun."

Pei Zhuo became excited, his voice was a little loud, and his hands were not too strong.

At this moment, Zhao Qiyue felt uncomfortable in her stomach, her body, and even more uncomfortable in her heart.

The whole person seemed to be drained out and shrunk into a ball, then stuffed into a small space, unable to breathe.

Seeing Zhao Qiyue acting frightened again, with her head down and tears falling, Pei Zhuo felt as if a ball of cotton was blocking his chest.

He loosened his hands, exhaled a breath, and comforted himself: It doesn't matter, he has plenty of time, the person is in his hands anyway, he can afford to wait.

After Pei Zhuo left, Zhao Qiyue sat on the bed for a long time. She looked up at the darkness and murmured, "It's so dark. Why isn't it daybreak yet?"

Xiao Tao hurried into the room and was puzzled when she heard this. She was about to say something, but when she came to her senses, she covered her mouth in fear.

"Princess, you...can't see at all?"*
The news that Zhao Qiyue refused to go out with Pei Zhuo soon reached Huyan Lanti's ears, and she was very angry.

I had always disliked Zhao Qiyue, and now my dislike for her has grown even worse.

She was young and acted in a hurry. She immediately went to Zhao Qiyue's yard and scolded her as soon as she found her:

"Tell me, do you look down on your second brother? He asked you to go out and play, why didn't you go? Why are you acting so arrogant?"

Zhao Qiyue explained softly, "I didn't, it's just..."

Huyan Lanti had no patience to listen to her finish: "Just what just? Seeing you stay in your room every day, I know what you are thinking. Although our Xirong is not as vast as Zhao, other places are not bad."

As she was speaking, she saw Zhao Qiyue still sitting there calmly, and she became angry and simply pulled him out.

Zhao Qiyue had thin arms and legs, so he could only be dragged by her to run.

Of course, in reality, Huyan Lanti is also a young girl and doesn't have much strength.

But Zhao Qiyue couldn't see anything at this time. He was pulled all the way and stumbled. He fell as soon as he went out.

Xiao Tao ran over and exclaimed, "Princess!"

At this moment, Pei Zhuo also approached the yard. When he heard that Huyan Lan was brought over, he rushed back immediately, but he didn't expect that he was still a step too late.

Huyan Lanti met Pei Zhuo's gaze and curled her fingers together in fear. She felt extremely wronged and explained:

"She definitely did it on purpose. I, I just pulled her and she fell. She's not that weak. She's not made of paper."

Pei Zhuo's eyes were full of coldness. Without saying a word, he walked straight forward and helped Zhao Qiyue up.

Zhao Qiyue just heard Xiaotao's voice coming from far away, and subconsciously thought that it was Xiaotao who was helping her. She grabbed the arm of the person who came with difficulty and said a little awkwardly: "Xiaotao, help me into the house."

As soon as the words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Zhao Qiyue was a little anxious, and raised his head and called: "Xiao Tao, you..."

Halfway through her words, feeling the touch of her hands, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

At the same time, Pei Zhuo, who looked into her eyes for the first time in bright light, finally noticed something unusual.

Her eyes couldn't focus.

Pei Zhuo waved his other hand in front of her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Can you see me?"
