"Miss Xu Er?" Qi Xuan's voice came.

Xu Nian's soul was suddenly frightened, and he raised his head, "...His Royal Highness King Yu?"

She looked here, the direction to Prince Yu's Mansion is not here, it is almost impossible to meet him.

Qi Xuan saw her doubts, and explained, "I saw Miss Xu Er in the palace just now, this time I was going out of the city, and I happened to pass by here."

"I see you look bad, are you okay?"

How could it be all right? This innocent disaster is because of looking at you one more time. If Shen Jiao sees you again at this time, she really can't explain it clearly.

Xu Nian said this from the bottom of his heart, but still shook his head, "Maybe it's because he hasn't had a good rest recently, and he's a little motion sick. It's not a big deal."

"Your Majesty is concerned. If Your Majesty still has something to do, you can go ahead."

She just wanted him to leave quickly.

But Qi Xuan didn't seem to see her alienation, and his eyes were light: "No hurry."

He downplayed it, but Xu Nian was dying of anxiety.

But you have to pretend to be calm, and you can't show too much panic.

"Sister is still waiting for me at home. If His Highness has nothing to do, I will take a step first. Your Highness, please do as you please."

She lowered her head slightly, and after seeing the ceremony, she hurriedly walked towards her carriage without raising her head.

Qi Xuan turned sideways to let her go, but when she passed by, she suddenly said, "This place is not far from the Duke's Mansion, if Miss Xu Er gets carsick, why don't you walk with me for a while?"

Xu Nian closed his eyes, and refused, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to walk together with His Highness. If it spreads, it will be bad for people."

Qi Xuan turned around, looked at the back of her insisting on leaving, and suddenly said in a heavy tone, "Miss Xu Er."

"Like I said, I also just came out of the palace."

In other words, he knew what happened.

"The one who died was the servant girl of my house. As for the reason, the queen mother probably told you just now." He walked to Xu Nian's side, and his tone suddenly became cold, "You are leaving in such a hurry now because you are afraid of getting involved with me. relation?"

Anyone who is treated as a puppet, coerced and restrained, who can't even decide who he sees and who he talks to, is not happy.

He has endured it for many years, and he has tolerated it much more, and he is even more ashamed of being fooled by others casually.

Such ambiguity, in his eyes, is no different from contempt.

She knew today, saw him, and saw clearly his situation at this time.

In the past, it was fine if no one knew, but now, the one in front of him clearly knows how he has been manipulated by others.

He hates being known.

This kind of strength is seen by others, which means that the weakness is exposed, and the weakness is seized, so how can he bear it.

Besides, Xu Sijiang must know a lot about Su Yang's case.

It is naturally not reconciled to have all the handles and weaknesses in the hands of human beings.

Xu Nian was a little nervous, but still kept his mind steady, "I'm stupid, I can't understand what your highness said, my parents and elder brother are waiting for me to go home, I should go back sooner."

Qi Xuan withdrew his gaze, he was in a bad mood today, he was touched by Ni Lin three times and four times, he was already angry, but he couldn't see it on his face.

He ignored Xu Nian's rhetoric and asked, "You also think I can't make my own decisions?"

Can't he have a mind of his own? Should he follow their words, behave in a well-behaved manner, be obedient and obedient, and erase the pride he should have?

Should he be the puppet of the Shen family for the rest of his life?

He doesn't want to!

Those stains will be erased one day, and he does not allow anyone to know, pry, or even take the opportunity to think about how miserable and embarrassed he is now.

You can't even have such a thought!

Xu Nian raised his eyes, not knowing where he had stepped on his sore spot, but before he could make a sound, he faced the masked person by the window of the teahouse from a distance, across the crowded crowd. upright.

The mask covered all the eyebrows and eyes, a high ponytail fell behind her back, and the sun shone on the hairband, revealing a faint light.

Qi Chu leaned his elbows lazily on the window sill, propped his chin, and looked at her silently.

With only a pair of eyes exposed, she couldn't even see his expression clearly at this time, but inexplicably became more nervous under his gaze.

What are you nervous about?

She couldn't tell either.

Qi Xuan didn't hear her, but he didn't force her anymore.

He just walked back to the carriage first, turned his back to her, and told the coachman: "Since we are on the way, let's go visit Teng Guogong."

From the first time he used her, he didn't want it to end here. Since he was afraid of being implicated by him, he wanted to get involved with the Duke's Mansion.

The voice was neither soft nor loud, and on this street, it was ensured that Xu Nian could understand.

Qi Chu heard it too.

His eyes swept over the fallen car curtains of Prince Yu's Mansion, and it turned into frost, which was surprisingly cold.

It's just that he didn't stay for a long time, and fell back on Xu Nian again, unable to smile, so he just stared at her blatantly.

Not very happy.

Xu Nian didn't expect him to be so courageous. King Yu chased him everywhere, but he came directly to her and still looked at her like this.

Not only did he look at it, but he opened and closed his lips lightly, and silently called Miss.

"Miss?" She stood there for a long time, Lian Tang walked to her side and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Nian suddenly came back to his senses, and when he looked again, the window was empty, as if the person he saw just now was his hallucination.

Afraid of a long delay, King Yu would see the clue, so she had no choice but to get in the car first.

When he got home, King Yu had already got out of the car, glanced sideways at her, and seeing her absent-minded, he was even more convinced that she was threatened by the Shen family and avoided being with him.

"Miss Xu Er", he shouted.

Xu Nian raised her eyes. Ever since she saw Qi Chu just now, she has been dizzy in her head. She doesn't seem to be very bright at this time, and she doesn't understand what his voice means.

"You are the master, so you should lead the way. You are so immobile, do you want to keep me out?" While speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Today just found out that he is restricted by others, so now feel that he is nothing more than that, and he can't even enter the door?

Xu Nian screened his eyes and asked Lian Tang to lead the way, leading him to the living room.

The guests came, and the elders entertained them. When Father came, Xu Nian hurriedly found an opportunity to retreat.

Qi Xuan saw it from the corner of his eye, and the hand holding the teacup tightened calmly.

He is not afraid if the handle falls into the hands of others.

But if you are underestimated, then it won't work.

Xu Nian had already turned the corridor and finally took a breath.

She really can't handle it alone, sister has a good idea of King Yu, and she must have gotten along with Dad.

How to deal with it, since my father and sister are resisting, Xu Nian doesn't want to show his face anymore.

Closed eyes are still the same eyes that Qi Chu looked at himself.

In retrospect, it was a bit fierce.

Do you want to kill her? But she never did anything.

Xu Nian pushed open the door, and when he raised his eyes to see the people in the room, he was silent for a moment, and what was quicker than surprise was his hands.

Without even thinking about it, the door closed with a bang.

Lian Tang, who was one step behind her, was blocked outside the door like this, and frowned suspiciously.

Qi Chu was very conscious, poured water for herself, and even in front of her master, slowly brought it to her lips, rolled her throat, and drank it.

"How did you get in?" Xu Nian felt like a thief, flustered and nervous.

Qi Chu just poured her another glass of water, and seeing that she was standing still, he took the initiative to walk over.

The hand holding the rim of the cup was raised and fed to her lips.

Xu Nian paused for a moment, then pursed his lower lip subconsciously, and realized later that he was indeed dehydrated.

Seeing that she had finished drinking in small sips, Qi Chu said, "Someone in the palace made the young lady uncomfortable, didn't they?"

He saw her get out of the car in a hurry.

Xu Nian wanted to say it was okay, but stopped when he saw his gaze. She pulled him to the table and sat down, and asked: "You know he's still here, aren't you afraid that he will find out and reveal his whereabouts then?"

"Miss doesn't come to look for me anymore, so I'll come to look for her, it doesn't matter to anyone else."

While talking, he poured another glass of water for Xu Nian, Xu Nian was much more proficient at taking it this time than before, and finished it again.

She was indeed thirsty.

Qi Chu's lips curved, and with a slight curve, all the previous unhappiness was swept away.

Xu Nian remembered what he was warned about in the palace, and raised his eyes to look at him complicatedly, wanting to confirm one thing, "Do you have any childhood sweethearts, the inseparable friendship that you promised since childhood?"

Perhaps it was inexplicably warned about this incident today, and I didn't think it was anything, but thinking about him now, I feel bored.

if there is...

Then, don't bother with him anymore.

Qi Chu supported his head, keenly aware of something.

Without thinking, he replied: "There is no childhood sweetheart, no marriage contract, and no one promised since childhood."

Xu Nian raised her eyes.

He smiled, with a pair of eyes that gave people the feeling of drowning.

"There hasn't been before, and there won't be any in the future."

Xu Nian let out an "oh".

Qi Chu: "I said before, if you bully the young lady, you have to be responsible to the young lady. Naturally, you won't count your words."

Xu Nian's cheeks were a little hot, and he couldn't bear his direct gaze, so he quietly moved away from looking directly at him.

Qi Chu didn't stop, and boldly confessed what was in his heart: "Besides, my unreasonable thoughts about Miss are far more than what I have done."

Only he knows that there are some extremely bad thoughts, like a void that cannot be filled, constantly urging him to make more progress.

It was an emotion that he had never been involved in, and he couldn't even control it. He was so happy about it that he was so greedy that he wanted to try more.

Far from enough……
