Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 88

There are still five days to go before the king's wedding.

These days, Qiao Ye doesn't often go to "World Without Beauty", but instead often goes to "Ingenuity" which is the closest to the suburbs, and becomes more and more familiar with the guys there.She also got along very well with Lu Yi, the number one craftsman in Chudu. He was a kind but shrewd old man. Qiao Ye liked listening to him talk and watching him sculpt.Qiao Ye was often amazed that it was a clumsy and ugly rock, but it turned into an exquisite stone carving in his hands.This is like the medicinal materials in the master's hands. Whether it is poison or life-saving medicine, they are completely different from the original things.

Turning decay into magic is probably the case, right?

"Tong Fang, five days later at night, you asked the carriage to wait for me by the Chu River, just at..." Qiao Ye casually smiled at the man.

"Young master is going out?" the guy named Tong Fang asked in confusion.

Qiao Ye smiled and shook his head: "No, there are customers who want to pick up the goods. It was a bit late at that time, and I couldn't find any help for a while, so I can only trouble you."

Tong Fang scratched his head embarrassingly, "No problem, no problem..."

The boy was very happy to be appreciated by the boss, and he never asked carefully who the customer was, what goods he wanted to deliver, and didn't think carefully about what kind of business he had to deal with late at night.

"That's it, don't forget! The carriage is parked there, and I'll come to you when the time comes. As long as it's not me, don't bother with anyone else. This business is very important." Qiao Ye reminded again.

Tong Fang nodded again and again: "Young master, don't worry! You know Tong Fang's work." Although the young master in front of him is not big and young, he treats people with gentleness and courtesy, and pays high wages. Prestige and reputation are extremely high, and everyone likes him.

"I believe in you." Qiao Ye smiled, "Master Lu has called you, go get busy."

Tong Fang nodded: "Hey!" trotting all the way, stopped suddenly, turned around and said: "Young master, that day is the day of His Royal Highness Li Wang's wedding, that guest really knows how to choose a date."

The smile on Qiao Ye's face froze, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Tong Fang smiled foolishly and stepped into the garden.

Qiao Ye frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that all the plans had been arranged.No, there is one more person who is not in the plan——

Chu Mu.

If he comes to find her then...

Qiao Ye lowered her head and walked slowly in the yard. The afterglow of the setting sun hit the green vines in the yard, and her shadow was also stretched very long.

The more I thought about it, the more annoying I was, when suddenly I heard a rush of footsteps coming towards the yard, and shouted anxiously: "Young master! Little master! It's not good! It's not good!"

Qiao Ye raised her head and walked over. That man also stepped into the courtyard gate. He was a fellow of "No Beauty in the World".

"What's wrong?" Qiao Ye asked.

"Little...Little Master, no...it's not good..." The guy was panting out of breath, sweating profusely, and said slowly, "The proprietress was... taken away!"

Qiao Ye's eyes widened in an instant: "Who took it away?" The lady boss mentioned by the clerk was referring to Xiang Xin.

"Ahem, it's a team of officers and soldiers." The man frowned, his face was full of fear, and he said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness was assassinated, injured, and bled a lot, so people from the palace came Inquiry... who knew, that person was actually the crown prince..."

Qiao Ye was stunned, Chu Xiao was assassinated? The security measures in "No Beauty in the World" have always been good. When Chu Xiao came, he never made it public. How could someone know his identity?

Not caring about thinking about it any longer, Qiao Ye walked out quickly: "Let's go back and have a look."

On the bustling street, many people gathered around "No Beauty in the World", pointing at the golden signboard, some regretted, some questioned, some were puzzled, and some gloated.

Looking at the white seal and the eye-catching red official seal on the door from a distance, Qiao Ye was stunned for a while, and remained motionless for a while. The guy next to her was afraid that she would not be able to bear the blow, so he tried to comfort her and wanted to open it.

Be more open?Qiao Ye turned around suddenly and walked quickly in a familiar direction.Now it’s not a question that you can’t think too much about. It’s nothing if "World Without Beauty" is shut down. If you lose money, you can make it back. The most urgent thing is to know how to enjoy it.Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao, at first I thought you could give her happiness, but who knew that you couldn't even give her the minimum safety?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Ye was slightly taken aback when the familiar buildings and cold plaques came into view. How could she come here subconsciously?

From the Prince's Mansion.

The stone lion in front of the door is always so cold, just like him when we met for the first time, indifferent and alienated, I don't know if there is any change in the decoration inside.

Qiao Ye lowered her eyes, she was wrong, she should take good care of her legs, why did she want to come to him whenever she encountered difficulties?

Now, he is no longer her seventh brother.

Sighing, he turned and walked back.

"Young master!" Someone called her hastily from behind.

Qiao Ye turned around, it was Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi has always disliked her, has never been lukewarm towards her, and would never talk to her unless necessary, Qiao Ye knows all this, what is she asking her to do now?It is still such a respectful name.

"Young master, please stop!" While thinking about it, Bai Zhi had already come to the front. Her plain white clothes were completely different from Chu Li's luxurious embroidered white jade robe.

Qiao Ye was a little embarrassed and anxious, but she couldn't speak: "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhi looked at her, and said after deliberating, "Young master, did you come to look for His Highness?"

"No..." Qiao Ye was about to deny it, but Bai Zhi immediately interrupted: "Bai Zhi is going to report to His Highness! Please come with me, young master."

As he said that, without giving Qiao Ye any chance to speak, he walked up the steps.

Qiao Ye frowned, and sighed, it didn't matter if she begged him for pleasure, after all, he was a prince and had more or less contact with Chu Xiao.

So he followed Bai Zhi from a distance.

She was so familiar with the road in Li Wang's mansion that she was not afraid of getting lost. Bai Zhi stopped in front of Chu Li's bedroom and motioned for herself to go in and ask for instructions.Qiao Ye nodded. In the past, when she came, she didn't need to ask for instructions. He would come out to pick her up in person.

After Bai Zhi entered, Qiao Ye looked around, but there was no change. The arrangement of the plant bonsai was still the same as before, except that the carnations in the bonsai were a little withered.Involuntarily, Qiao Ye squatted down, picked up the shovel on the flower stand and began to move.

Although it was daytime, the curtains in the bedroom were drawn, and the soothing incense was burning. Bai Zhi passed through the screen, walked to Chu Li's bed, and said softly, "Master."

The furnishings around the bed curtain are very simple and not luxurious, except for the few bowl-sized night pearls that are covered by lampshades on the bedside shelf, which are constantly shining brightly.

"Ahem," the man on the big bed coughed softly, his voice was low and hoarse, with his usual coldness: "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while, and replied: "Return to master, the young master is here."

Chu Li's breathing stagnates.

Bai Zhi sighed silently, and continued: "Young master should have something to say. Do you want her to come in?"

"No need!" Chu Li sat up suddenly, and when Bai Zhi was startled, he added: "This king, go out."

"But your body..." Bai Zhi hesitated to speak.

"No problem." Chu Li got out of bed, Bai Zhi had no choice but to stop talking and went forward to change his clothes.Since returning home in the early morning of the second day of the engagement banquet, the master has been ill all the time, did not leave the bedroom, refused any invitation to the banquet, Bai Zhi sighed, it turned out that her heart was tied to the person outside the door.

Chu Li stood behind the screen, hesitating in his footsteps, a gleam of light appeared in his stagnant heart, he closed his eyes, opened them, and walked out the door.

I haven't seen her for five days, and she is still the same.Chu Li stood at the door without moving, his purple pupils sizing up the girl's back for a moment.She squatted on the ground, holding a shovel and digging the soil for carnations. Every time she encountered flowers and plants, she was always easily attracted, and she was meticulous and attentive.

Sitting in the sea of ​​carnations that night, he thought that she would never see him again, a kind of depression and despair that he had never felt before blocked his heart to death.

However, he wants to see her.

"Little Qiao..." Chu Li blurted out.

The girl turned her head in panic, like a thief caught stealing, she hastily put the shovel behind her back and hid it.

She stood up and smiled at him awkwardly: "Brother Seven."

Habits are not easy to change, such as titles, hobbies, and mentality.

Chu Li wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He stepped over the threshold, stopped in front of her, looked at her, and waited for her to speak.

Qiao Ye knew his habits, he didn't like to talk, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, half to discuss and half to beg: "Seventh brother, can you... take me into the palace?"

Chu Li frowned, and his purple pupils narrowed slightly: "What are you doing in the palace?"

It was only at this moment that Qiao Ye realized that she was afraid, and at a loss, she squeezed the shovel tightly in her hand and lowered her head: "Xin Xin was taken away by the people in the palace, I'm going to rescue her."

Chu Li's purple pupils flashed, and her thin lips pursed: "You can't save her even if you enter the palace. She belongs to the prince, so the prince will naturally save her."

Qiao Ye bit her lips, her lowered eyes contained incomprehensible grievances: "I only have one friend, and I want to save her."

Hearing this, Chu Li felt a pain in his heart, and walked over to try to pull her, but Qiao Ye dodged, raised his head and smiled at him, with tears in his eyes: "Brother Seven, forget it, I don't want you to help me... I'm sorry to bother you You, I..."

"Little Qiao!" Chu Li pulled her into his arms irresistibly, hugged her tightly, breathed heavily, and said word by word: "Stay here...wait for me."

How disappointed was she in him?How distrustful is it?It's not that he refuses, it's just that the palace is too dangerous, every step may be a trap set up by others, she doesn't understand, and he has no way to explain it to her.

Hearing the heavy breathing from the top of his head, Qiao Ye lowered his head: "Brother Seven, you are sick, I'll just go."
