Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 63

Qiao Ye felt irritable.

Lying in bed can't fall asleep.The mother next to her was already asleep, and she didn't dare to turn over, for fear of waking her up.

She seemed to think the problem was too simple. With the status of Seventh Brother, he was scarred by the assassination from the first time they met. She should know that he, as the prince of a country, would definitely not be as he appeared on the surface. So calm.

The danger is like the arrows coming through the sky today, it may come from every corner at any time, she is too selfish, always cramped in her own small world, and the topics of conversation with him every day are only business and gardening, she is not enough at all care about him.

but……

Qiao Ye's eyes darkened, and he didn't care enough about her.

He didn't want to tell her about him, and he never asked her identity.

Qiao Ye turned over and sat up.

Looking at mother's back, she carefully put on her clothes and got out of bed, and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

The moon is not round tonight, and the night is a bit chilly. Walking and walking, I came to the backyard full of pink flowers. The pink flowers are still blooming very well, and they have not been defeated by the cold at all.

Inadvertently saw the big rock among the flowers, Qiao Ye was stunned, Chu Mu's jade pendant was buried under the rock...

In any case, Chu Mu saved her and brother Qi today, so she should thank him well.But Brother Qi said, don't see Chu Mu again in the future, and don't have anything to do with him.

Qiao Ye walked over and touched the cold stone. She had nothing to do with Chu Mu in the first place. He acted cynically all day long. Is it really interesting?Occasionally, he cared about her, he knew what she needed—

She wanted to leave the house, he knew it.He didn't sue her in front of Xiang Ling.He is very bad, very presumptuous, very rascal, every time she meets him, she has no choice but to be suppressed by him, and to be so angry that she wants to cry, there is no other way to do it.She couldn't see Brother Seven, and even less Chu Mu.

She bit her lip, the place where he bit her lip was still hurting.

Squatting down slightly, holding the big stone with both hands, she moved it aside forcefully, her palm was scratched by the rough stone surface, she didn't care to frown, squatted down to brush the weeds off the surface, and then brushed some The frozen soil was pushed away bit by bit, and after a while, the exquisite jade pendant was exposed in the pit.

found it.

Take out the jade pendant, wipe off the dirt on it, and a raised "Mu" character can be clearly felt under the groping of fingers.

The night wind was so cold that Qiao Ye sneezed uncontrollably. Tomorrow, she would return the jade pendant to him. From then on, she would never owe him anything again.

It had been many days since he had been to Qingyi Palace, but he remembered the road clearly. The next day, when Qiao Ye came to the gate of Qingyi Palace, the guards went in to report as usual.

However, what was different from the past was that this time, it took a very long time. Qiao Ye waited for a long time before seeing the guard come out and said, "My little prince, what do you want? If it's not important, don't bother him. "

Qiao Ye clenched her hand hidden in her sleeve, the jade pendant on her hand...

It should be very important.

Chu Mu said that it was bestowed by the Emperor Chu.

"It's very important. Please tell the little prince. I won't bother you again. This is the last time." Qiao Ye tried to make her smile bright.Chu Mu, you probably don't want to see her either, do you?

The guard went in again, and it took him quite a while to come out this time. Qiao Ye didn't understand, it took only ten minutes to go back and forth from the main entrance to the Sheying Building. Would it take him nearly half an hour?
"The little prince said, please go in." The guard said.

Qiao Ye nodded, carried the hem of her clothes up the steps, and was guided by the guards to the Sheying Building.

Cang Jin and Cang Xuan stood in front of the door, they turned their heads when they heard footsteps, but they just nodded slightly to Qiao Ye, and stopped talking, with strange expressions on their faces.

Qiao Ye frowned, puzzled.

"Master, she's here." Cang Jin said anxiously to the room.

After a long time, Chu Mu's voice responded: "Let her in." There was no ups and downs, and it was always clear and pleasant.

Cang Xuan pushed open the door, and Qiao Ye walked in.

The door closed behind him again.

Chu Mu was dressed in black clothes with dark red lace, leaning on the soft couch with his eyes closed, the windows around him were closed, only the candles not far away were always on, and the candles had already burned to the point where only a humble part remained. May go out at any time.

Chu Mu touched his forehead with one hand and remained motionless.

Qiao Ye was the first to break the silence, stepped forward, and called, "Little Prince."

"En." Chu Mu responded, but his body still didn't move: "What's so important? Do you want to run and lie down yourself?"

"I..." Qiao Ye thought for a while, took out the jade pendant from her sleeve, and held it in her hand: "I'm here to return something. This is the jade pendant you lost, little prince."

Chu Mu's body trembled slightly, but he quickly smiled: "What jade pendant?"

"It's just... I picked it up by the Green Lake in the Prime Minister's Mansion on Mid-autumn night, with the name of the little prince engraved on it." Qiao Ye was thinking of words.

Chu Mu sat up, put down the hand supporting his forehead, and looked at her lightly: "And then?"

"Then, I suddenly remembered it yesterday. It would be really bad if I don't return it to the young prince, so today..." Qiao Ye felt that she was acting guilty. She felt that Chu Mu's calmness was really abnormal. He must be angry, and it will explode in the next second, so her voice became smaller and smaller: "Little prince, I'm sorry..."

However, Chu Mu was not angry.He looked at her outstretched hands, on which lay a piece of exquisite and clear jasper. He had worn it for nearly ten years and never left it, but God knew how much he wanted to throw it away, along with his own name.Now, it's back.He had to face the nightmare of it every day.

Headaches, waking up and finding out that I'm still alive is incredible.

The eyes moved from the jade pendant to her cheeks, she was still the same, nothing changed.Chu Mu got up quietly, but the moment he stood up, his footsteps were a little unsteady.He paused, and then walked towards her.

Qiao Ye kept her head down and stretched out her hands.

Chu Mu didn't answer, walked to her side and stood still, suddenly chuckled, "Is this the last time you've been here?" His voice was very relaxed.No emotion.

Qiao Ye raised her head and looked into his eyes. There was something she couldn't understand in those amber-like eyes.For the first time, she was stunned by his charming amber eyes and remained motionless.The bewildering amber color and the frightening light are different from the mystery of Chu Li's purple pupils. The same thing is that she doesn't know what he is thinking.

Chu Mu didn't seem to be waiting for her answer. Seeing her in a daze, he stretched out his hand and gently pinched her cheek. A smile appeared on his lips, which was faint and not obvious: "Little guy has grown up, do you want to go?" Just go, I didn't want to force you at first. It's fine to go."

Qiao Ye didn't move.What is he saying?Why does he look a little different today?

"In the future, don't blow up your hair at every turn. I have a good temper. If you hit me and step on it and don't fight back, others may be." Chu Mu continued, reaching out to pat her on the head, Qiao Ye was still stuck. In the memory, it might as well feel the warm touch on her forehead, which made her tremble all over.Looking up, she saw his lips leave her forehead.

Normally, she would definitely push him away immediately, but now she can't move her hand, because his eyes are extremely gentle, and the smile on his lips is also extremely soft, maybe it's because she looked at him seriously for the first time, she unexpectedly found that He is so strange.When he got close, he had a very strange herbal smell, which was very faint, but Qiao Yedai was used to "tasting all kinds of herbs", so he was very sensitive to the medicine.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Qiao Ye looked at him and asked.

The smile on Chu Mu's face froze slightly, he chuckled quickly, and shook his head: "No, I'm fine." He reached out to take the heavy jade pendant from her hand, and the light in his eyes quickly dissipated.

He held the jade pendant tightly in his palm, turned his back to her, and was silent for a long time. The room was so quiet that he could hear each other's breathing. Chu Mu finally said, "Let's go. Don't come here again. I won't see you again is you."

Qiao Ye was stunned. He had said this many times, but never said it himself.This time, what an obvious expulsion order.Inexplicably, I felt a little lost.

However, isn't this the reason why she came to Qingyi Palace?She came here so that she would never see him again.

So, knowing that he couldn't see her, she nodded and said, "Okay. I won't bother the little prince anymore. Goodbye."

She turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and backed out.The moment the door closed, she couldn't explain why, she glanced inside the door, Chu Mu stood still, she could only see his back, the black clothes seemed to be the spirit in the dark night, people didn't want to look directly at him.Qiao Ye sighed in her heart, what a strange color.

The door of Sheying Building was closed, and a gust of wind blew through, and the rear window was blown open a little. Through it, one could clearly see the white Sophora japonica flower falling all over the ground. The crystal flowers were as fragile as teardrops.The petite figure walked slowly in front of the white jade locust tree, and walked towards the gate of the palace without any hesitation.

Chu Mu walked over slowly, closed the blown window again, the candle was extinguished, and the room was completely dark.

When I wanted to turn around, I felt a sudden nausea in my heart, my footsteps softened, and I knelt down on one knee.Something was stuck in my heart, I couldn't swallow it, I couldn't spit it out, it made my heart throbbing with pain.Holding the icy jasper in his hand, his whole body became cold.

Simply, he stopped walking and sat on the ground leaning on the back of the soft couch.

Looking down at the jade pendant in his hand, he laughed at himself, since he couldn't die even if he wanted to, so what can he do?If he had known that he would not die immediately after taking this medicine, but would lose even the effect of numbness, he really shouldn't have taken so much last night.
