Chapter 192 So Close, So Far

The cold wind blew past her ears, Qiao Mo raised her head subconsciously, but saw Chu Lichen standing not far away, her body tensed up suddenly, and she also stood up straight.

Chu Lichen looked at her with a gloomy expression, and approached her step by step.

Qiao Mo bowed her head angrily, she didn't ask anything, why did he come here?
Chu Lichen walked up to Qiao Mo and stopped his steps, but he just glanced at her and then turned to Li Luo.

"Aunt." Chu Lichen said softly.

Li Luo was also looking at him, even seeing Qiao Mo's annoyance, she curled her lips slightly: "If you have time in the future, let the princess come and accompany me."

When Qiao Mo heard this, she suddenly raised her head and said incredulously, "Really?"

Li Luo smiled and nodded. Although Qiao Mo couldn't see her smile, she could clearly see the smile in her eyes.

"Chu Lichen, you heard, my aunt asked me to come." Qiao Mo said with a smile.

Chu Lichen looked down at her indifferently, then looked at Li Luo, "I'm afraid she disturbed your cleaning."

"Qingxiu has been doing this for so long, but I wish there was someone to talk to. It's rare that the princess doesn't dislike me." Li Luo stretched out her hand to caress Qiao Mo's face, and said in a low voice.

Qiao Mo was taken aback for a moment, because of Li Luo's touch, the look in her eyes made Qiao Mo startled.

"Go, Chen'er will take the princess out to have fun during the Lantern Festival." Li Luo withdrew her hand and looked at them with a smile.

Qiao Mo was taken away by Chu Lichen, but she still turned her head to look at Liluo. It was really strange. She felt that Liluo was very familiar, but she was not sure where it was.
Li Luo watched them disappear and looked down at her hands.

After Qiao Mo got down from the attic, she looked up at Liluo who was still looking at her home, pursed her lips slightly, wondering why she kept looking at her home.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Lichen pulled her away and said in a deep voice.

Qiao Mo looked back at Chu Lichen, and said with a smile, "Hey, Chu Lichen, my aunt said that I can come to her, so you can't stop me."

"En." Chu Lichen said lightly, but he didn't understand why Auntie would do this, after all, she had never even seen An Xinyue.

Without An Xinyue in the mansion, and Chu Lichen was responsive to her requests, Qiao Mo's life was still very happy.

After eating the Lantern Festival, Qiao Mo took Chu Lichen and the others out before it was completely dark.

Lantern Festival, also known as Lantern Festival.

The most famous should be its lantern riddles.

Although it was not completely dark yet, there were already quite a few people in the street market, as well as all kinds of lanterns displayed by the shops.

Qiao Mo ran to the front with Yue'er, and they followed behind.

"Is there any news about King Xiaoyao recently?" Chu Lichen put his hands behind his back, looked at the excited Qiao Mo in front of him, and asked Ye beside him.

"King Xiaoyao has been away from Beijing for a while, and he appeared in the border of Yunnan a few days ago." Ye whispered.

Chu Lichen nodded, this ninth brother is also good for him, at least in the future when he competes with Chu Yuyan for the throne, he doesn't have to be caught between them.

"The territory of Yunnan is not safe these days, let people protect Xiaoyao Wang." Chu Lichen said, although the ninth brother has been in the Jianghu for many years, he is still worried about the dangers in the Jianghu.

"Yes." Night answered.

Leng Fengchen listened to them from one side, but did not speak.

"Also, is there any news about the princess being hunted down?" Chu Lichen asked Leng Fengchen this time.

Leng Fengchen lowered his head slightly, and said: "The subordinates found out yesterday that the jade tablet dropped by that person belonged to Lingyan Pavilion."

After Leng Fengchen finished speaking, Chu Lichen suddenly stopped his footsteps, Ye Ye raised his head, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Chu Lichen, "Where is the jade card, show it to me."

Leng Fengchen nodded, took out the jade tablet from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Lichen.

Chu Lichen reached out to take it, looked at the jade token in his hand, but suddenly remembered that when he carried Qiao Mo back from the back mountain that day, when they met the master of Chengfeng Pavilion, Qiao Mo asked who's that person.

And this jade token belongs to him!
Chu Lichen clenched the jade tablet in his hand, and looked up at Qiao Mo in front of him.

It turned out that what she said that day was true, she really was from Lingyan Pavilion.

But she downplayed it so lightly that he thought she was just joking.

She knows everything, but says nothing.

Such a Qiao Mo, if she hadn't become cold-hearted, how could she have achieved this step!
Ye also saw the jade plaque, and it was picked up by Leng Fengchen when he was attacked, so there is absolutely no mistake, that is to say, it was indeed made by someone from Lingyan Pavilion.

"Prince?" Ye whispered behind him, this person hurt the princess, how can he keep it.

Chu Lichen tightly held the jade token in his hand, the person behind the scenes knew it without even thinking about it.

Xinyue, why would she do this?

Even with Qiao Mo, he would treat her as before. If she did this, how could he keep her by his side?
"The concubine has always been kind to others, and I don't understand her lowly position, so why did Lingyan Pavilion assassinate the concubine?" Leng Fengchen didn't know Chu Lichen's identity, so he asked.

"Why?" Chu Lichen clenched the jade token in his hand again, and looked back at Qiao Mo who was smiling and smiling at him. If he explained now, would she still listen?
Or, his explanation has long been meaningless to Qiao Mo, because to her, she no longer needs any explanation of her own.

"Sister, come and see this." Qiao Mo ran over with a smile and pulled him over, showing him the riddle on a lotus lantern.

Chu Lichen looked at her, so close, yet so far away.

"Let's talk together, it takes time. What's this word?" Qiao Mo had the answer in her mind, but she still asked him to guess.

Chu Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since the lady already knows the answer, why do you still ask about your husband?"

"I know that doesn't mean that my husband knows." Qiao Mo said with a smirk, "The store said, if you guess ten right, you will give away the jade bracelet. I like that." If you don't like it, I know this cheap one, and it doesn't cost money!
Chu Lichen shook his head helplessly, and said lightly: "Speak up and down together, it is the sun and the cloud, and the time spent is short, since it is a flash in the pan, so this word is pan."

"Haha, young master is so smart, why don't you take a look at this." The owner of Jieshu Pavilion smiled and turned on a lantern again.

Qiao Mo looked up: "A grain of grain, taking up the whole house? What the hell is this?" Qiao Mo couldn't help blinking to think, as if there was no way to take it apart to see.

Qiao Mo looked up at Chu Lichen, but Chu Lichen curled his lips slightly, and wrote the word "lamp" with a pen.

"Light?" Qiao Mo read out curiously, then looked at Chu Lichen, and warned him again: I don't study much, don't lie to me!

"Grains make oil, bright and sprinkle all over the room." Chu Lichen said lightly.

"Haha, the young master is right, and there is-"

The boss is also a talented person, so he appreciates talented people very much.

Chu Lichen guessed right again and again, Qiao Mo's bracelet is within easy reach.

But at the last one, Chu Lichen also frowned.

Qiao Mo's small brow directly turned into a small mountain peak, which she never thought of.

"There are insects with insight, peaks with nests, and silkworms with umbrellas to see people?" Qiao Mo read it again, then looked up at Chu Lichen, "What does this mean?"

Chu Lichen tapped his fingers on the boss's desk, and the people around him who had already surrounded him were all thinking about the answer at this moment, unable to guess what it was.

After a while, Chu Lichen started to write. Qiao Mo looked down and watched the word gradually appear on the paper. It was only when she saw it that she suddenly realized that it was this.

"There are holes, there are nests, and there are silks. Seeing people with an umbrella is like a lotus root."

Just as Chu Lichen finished writing, a man's refreshing voice came from behind.

Qiao Mo looked back, the crowd flashed a way, and Shu Nanyu came from the crowd with a folding fan.

The corner of Qiao Mo's mouth twitched slightly. In Qiao Mo's eyes, the person holding a folding fan in winter is just one word: Pretend!Two words: pretense!
But I have to say that this little brother is good-looking, although he is still not as good as her family's eighth master, but he is also a good-looking talent, full of domineering emperor.

Chu Lichen put down his pen, and frowned when he heard Shu Nanyu's voice.

Shu Nanyu walked to them and bowed slightly to Qiao Mo: "Sister-in-law."

Qiao Mo looked up at Chu Lichen, and Chu Lichen reached out and took Qiao Mo into his arms: "This is brother Shu."

Qiao Mo nodded slightly, but she looked down on Ba Ye's introduction in her heart, she didn't even say his name, how could she know what this man's name was?
"Madam, come, this jade bracelet is yours." The boss smiled and handed the jade bracelet to Qiao Mo.

Qiao Mo happily took it, the jade bracelet was not in good condition, after all, it was just for a good start.

Qiao Mo took off the bracelet on her wrist that Ba Ye bought for her with 3 taels of silver in the morning, and put it in Chu Lichen's hands, then put the pair of jade bracelets on, and looked up at Chu Lichen with a smile. Li Chen: "Does it look good?"

What can Chu Lichen say, in terms of fineness and workmanship, they are not good, but his wife is so different.

"Sister-in-law is really good—special!" Shu Nanyu couldn't see the difference between the two jade bracelets, so he couldn't find other words except for special.

"What do you know? Some things cannot be bought with money. My eighth master is aloof. Is it easy to ask him to guess a lantern riddle?" Qiao Mo admired the jade bracelet in her hand, but after thinking for a while, "It seems to be Not very difficult."

Shu Nanyu laughed out loud, "Sister-in-law is really cute." It is not difficult, but the target is her, if it is someone else, how could Chu Lichen do such a thing.

Chu Lichen's face became darker and darker, before leading Qiao Mo out of the lantern riddle shop, "Why are you here?"

"The Lantern Festival is suitable for meeting beauties, isn't it?" Shu Nanyu said, looking at Qiao Mo.

Qiao Mo finally raised her eyes from the jade bracelet, looked at Shu Nanyu, then looked around herself, and finally looked at Shu Nanyu again: "There are no beauties here for you. Already!"
