Chapter 227 Broken Marigold (15)
Qingtian laughed and spat, "You've also made me used to it, the more you talk, the more you have no sense of restraint. All right, come with me for a while."

Immediately, he returned to Tuixuan in a two-person shoulder car.Upstairs, in the West Wing, there is a bedroom used for a nap. The aisles on both sides are full of guards. Both Zhou Dun and He Wuwei are there, saying that the prince has fallen asleep.Qingtian shook his hand to silence them, took a small lamp from Yingzhi's hand, and walked into the room on his own.

Leaning against the wall, a pen tube big canopy bed hangs down with a tent, Qingtian puts the lamp on the octagonal platform by the bedside, and hangs a curtain.The person in the bed spread out his arms and legs, his brows were furrowed, but he didn't hear a single snoring sound.She only said that Qi She was pretending to sleep, she smiled and grabbed his shoulders, her breath was like blue, "Hey, hey, are you still angry with me? Well, it's my fault. I haven't slept in separate beds all these years. But, without you by my side, I couldn't sleep well, I apologize to you, go back to sleep, how about I stay here with you? Then make room, hey, hey, stop pretending, okay..."

She grabbed one of his hands, smiling coquettishly, but he swung his hand suddenly, the back of his hand was touching her nose, it was as heavy and hard as a rock, causing her to fall to the foot of the bed.On the other side, Qi She cursed something in her dream and turned inward.

It took a long time—maybe it wasn't long before the piercing pain between the nose and eyes subsided, and Qing Tian sat on the ground with his face in his hands, his hands full of sour tears.She knew it felt absurd and unfair, that he fell asleep and he didn't mean to, but she still felt as if she had returned to a dusty bedside somewhere in the back of her memory; The bed, and the men on it, are eternal pain and shame.

She wiped away her tears and raised her head. She watched coldly from the small lamp on the table, and saw the sturdy back in the bed move twice, and let out a snoring sound.

Later, Qingtian recalled that the change started from this night.

That night, she suppressed her grievances and returned to the flower residence. She woke up early after a faint dream, and was unhappy throughout the day, just waiting for the night.But when the night fell and there was no sign of Qi She, she began to sit on pins and needles until the eunuch sent to visit said that the prince had rested in the palace over there, and she went to bed to sleep, but her worries did not disappear.This is the first time he treats her like this, but Qingtian will soon understand that this will definitely not be the last time.

Late the next day, Qi She came back with a look of evil spirit on his face.Seeing this, Qingtian swallowed his words, and said in a calm manner: "Have you eaten yet?"

Qi She didn't make much noise during the meal, and rarely even looked at her, and answered all her questions with a nod or a shake of the head.This kind of estrangement is unique among them, Qingtian is sure, it will never be because of their quarrel the night before; what happened, something very serious.

"Are you OK?"

Her patience is like a flexible silk, and she waits until bedtime before asking softly in an almost lingering tone.

"It's okay." He cut it off like a knife.

So Qingtian stretched out his hand, and caressed his hard tendons through his clothes, hoping to melt the white steel with his fingers, "Third brother..."

Qi She sat up suddenly, and the thin silk pajamas brushed her cheeks, making her feel slightly cool. "Come on! Come on!"

The watchmen outside the door were Qin Yi and Qin Jing, they hurriedly responded: "What orders does the lord have?"

"Go and tell Zhou Dun, let him send Agula to the corner to arrive at the house—now!"

Now is the ugly time in the middle of the night, and Qi She wants to leave Ruanrou Township to wrestle with Tatar warriors.Qing Tian, ​​who was thrown down, hugged his shoulders in a daze between the brocade tent and the silver bed.

In the days that followed, Qingtian asked Qi She the same question over and over again: "Are you worried?" At first she asked beside the pillow, hugging his waist; later she tried only when he seemed in a good mood He mentioned it from time to time, and stared into his eyes with an ironic and focused tone; then she pretended not to care, and smiled as she asked and stuffed an apricot into his mouth.And Qi She gave her the same answer every time: "No." The last time he didn't say anything, he just pushed away her hand that was buttoning his shirt, stared down at her extremely coldly, and turned around. away.Qingtian spent a long day with endless thoughts, and at night he didn't see anyone, so he had to sleep, but how could he sleep soundly?Zhenghunmeng had nowhere to go, heard the noise of people outside, hurriedly put on his clothes and got up to look, isn't it Qi She?
She folded her skirt and sighed lightly: "You're back so late?"

The maids were helping Qi She to change clothes, he stopped them with one hand, and turned his neck to this side, "Busy, can't you? What's your opinion?"

Qingtian saw that he behaved well, so his attitude was naturally as humble as possible, "I don't have any objections, but seeing that you are very busy this time, I want to remind you that your health is important, if you can come back sooner, you should come back earlier to rest good."

"Don't use this cover to suppress me. You think I don't know? You send people outside to check my actions every day. How about it? What did you find?"

"How can it be called 'interrogation'? You have always been either at my place, or at the step-concubine's place. Every time you go back, you greet me in advance. But now you always suddenly disappear, If you don’t explain it to me, I’m worried in my heart, can’t I ask someone to go out and inquire? If you think I’m troublesome, then I won’t ask in the future.”

"If you want to ask, just ask. If you can ask, it's your skill."

"You don't want me to know, so why should I annoy you? Anyway, you're always busy with business."

"Who are you hurting by beating around the bush?"

"What I'm saying is right, but you have to listen to it the other way around. If you don't go about business, can't you go about evil?"

Qi She stroked the two mustaches on his upper lip, "You don't need to worry about what I'm busy with. Anyway, I don't have time to stay here and guard you."

Qingtian already had some headaches, but now the pain was piercing her head, she held her forehead to catch her breath, "Third Master, can we not catch up with each other like this? There is nothing I can't do." Where are you going, or what is wrong with you, in short, please tell me plainly, so that I can change. I always quarrel like this when we meet, how can life go on?"

Qi She put her shoulders up to resist, "You point at me in every sentence, isn't it, what else can you change?"

"Which sentence did I point to you?"

"I've been busy all day, and you rushed out to accuse me of being late without taking off your clothes just after entering the door. Isn't this a picky thing?"

"I'm just talking about the facts. It's too late to say something, so why is it a picky one? You can see for yourself when it is, isn't it too late, is it actually too early?"

"Whenever you love! I also tell you, if I am willing to come back early, I will come back early, and if I am willing to come back late, I will come back later. Can you interfere with me?"

Coming and going, just talking more and more twists and turns, Qingtian felt a chill in his heart, and turned his face away, "If you don't come back, can I interfere with you?"

Qi She sneered twice, "After talking for a long time, you only said this sentence to the point. I am going out now, but you will send someone to spy on my whereabouts again." Stomp and walk out.

This walk lasted another four or five days, after this time, Qing Tian never asked Qi She more in person.In private, Zhou Dun was brought over for a secret inquiry, and Zhou Dun clapped his hands at her, "Miao Jiang has been making a lot of noise recently, and the prince must be worried about this." Sometimes he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Hiss, the customs clearance was revoked the year before last. It seems that a few mines have been opened secretly, or is it because of this?" But most of the time, Zhou Dun just shook his head with a wry smile, "It's really nothing, the weather is good, the world is peaceful, and the slaves can't think of it. Why bother me. Oh, bear with me! This came suddenly, maybe it will go suddenly, and it will be fine after a while."
