The night is getting darker, and the streets of Ling'an City are no longer as noisy as before.
The taverns and teahouses on the roadside have closed early. Only a few inns still have lanterns on and their doors are lightly closed, with few people walking around.
The carriage of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was speeding along the official road. Neither of the two people in the carriage spoke. The only sounds that could be heard were the wheels rolling and the horses' hooves trampling on the stone slabs.
There was silence for a long time.
After all, Jiang Yunzhou couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to break the silence and said: "Today's matter... Thank you very much for your help, miss. I will explain it to you when the time is right."
"Need not."
Chu Xiaoqing withdrew her gaze, looked at him quietly, and said softly: "Your Highness is doing this for your own reasons. My daughter is not a meddlesome person."
The moonlight filtered through the glass car window, making her delicate face look particularly soft and beautiful.
Jiang Yunzhou was slightly startled. Thinking of everything today, he couldn't help but ask:
"I don't know, Miss Chu didn't like me before, so why did she suddenly help me like this today?"
Chu Xiaoqing smiled lightly and turned to look out the window again. Scenes of her mother's teachings to her from childhood to adulthood flashed through her mind like the rapidly regressing scenery on the street.
She thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why.
The carriage fell silent again.
a long time.
Chu Xiaoqing didn't say anything until she was driving near the palace, and the carriage stopped at an alleyway away from the palace gate.
She got off the carriage first and walked towards the darkness.
Jiang Yunzhou looked at her thin back and followed her footsteps silently without thinking too much.
The alley was dark and cold, with high walls on both sides. Occasionally, the faint candlelight from some courtyards was reflected on the wall.
Chu Xiaoqing took two steps into the alley and then stopped. She turned around and stared at Jiang Yunzhou, who was following him, with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Today in the bedroom, what my mother said..."
She paused and stopped talking.
"It's okay. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask any more questions." Jiang Yunzhou imitated her previous reply and put on a magnanimous look.
Chu Xiaoqing lowered her head, put her bare hands into her sleeves, and took out a red jade box. Under Jiang Yunzhou's curious eyes, she slowly opened the jade box, revealing two beads with a faint halo inside.
She held it in her palm, looked up at Jiang Yunzhou and said:
"This is the mantra spirit voodoo, transformed by the love voodoo. Mother said that after taking the main voodoo, the secondary voodoo can be transferred into your mouth through lip-to-tongue communication, and it will make you tell the truth. The effect will last for a quarter of an hour..."
"Word of mouth?"
Jiang Yunzhou's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought of the passionate kiss this afternoon and suddenly said: "So today, you originally wanted to transfer this spiritual Gu to me, but why didn't you use it at that time?"
The alley was dark, and Jiang Yunzhou could not clearly see Xiao Qing's face, but he could still feel her shyness.
I saw her lowering her head and gently kicking the dead leaves at the soles of her feet, muttering: "I forgot at the time..."
Jiang Yunzhou was stunned. You really planned to feed me Gu, and you dared to tell me!
next moment.
Chu Xiaoqing raised her head. The wind in the alley was cold, and the moonlight hit her face. Her face was soft and flawless, without the usual coldness and arrogance. Jiang Yunzhou seemed to see a hint of grievance in her eyes, but also full of stubbornness:
"Your Highness can stand in front of Xiao Qing to protect Xiao Qing's dignity, but why would you question Xiao Qing's help for you? Aren't we an unmarried couple with an engagement?"
When Jiang Yunzhou heard this, he was instantly speechless.
He had always preconceived the idea that Chu Xiaoqing was the villain in the original drama and had always been on guard against her, but he had never seriously thought about whether he could change her.
In the original book, she was described as paranoid, and she would do anything to restore her country and become a nightingale that would be famous throughout the ages.
Jiang Yunzhou instinctively thought that she was that kind of person.
However, those are all stories in the book, and none of that has happened yet.
Is it really fair to treat her like this with prejudice?
"My mother often said that women in this world are all rootless duckweeds, but I can clearly feel that she has roots, and my father is the support for her to take root."
As he spoke, Chu Xiaoqing suddenly took a step forward, only a punch away from Jiang Yunzhou. Jiang Yunzhou could even feel her broken hair that was ruffled by the breeze, caressing his cheek messily, and the clear and elegant fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, making him feel He became inexplicably nervous.
"Your Highness...will you be Xiao Qing's support?"
Jiang Yunzhou's throat twitched, and when he was about to reply, his lips were sealed by a cool finger.
Chu Xiaoqing looked at him with burning eyes. She didn't know whether it was cold or nervous, but her voice was slightly trembling: "Xiao Qing... I want Your Highness to take this spiritual Gu to answer. Xiao Qing promises that I will only ask this question."
The beauty was so close, Jiang Yunzhou tried hard to stay calm, but when he looked at the expectant eyes like spring water, his heart skipped a beat, what to think about, just rely on your intuition!
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly grabbed Chu Xiaoqing's waist and kissed the warm red lips heavily.
A cry came out.
In an instant, Chu Xiaoqing felt her whole body stiffen and her breathing suddenly became rapid. The domineering yet gentle touch hit her, making her mind go blank. Surrounded by the strong and warm bodies in front of her, Chu Xiaoqing felt like she was being set on fire. Generally speaking, his whole body was feeling hot, and he couldn't help but wrap his arms around Jiang Yunzhou's neck, letting him take his pick.
After a long time, the lips parted reluctantly.
Jiang Yunzhou stared at the beauty who was completely attached to his body. He saw that her whole body was soft, her eyes were slightly narrowed in confusion, her face was crimson, and she was as charming as a ripe peach.
Jiang Yunzhou resisted the urge to continue asking for a kiss and murmured softly:
"You...huh...have you not taken the spiritual Gu yet?"
"ah?"
Chu Xiaoqing's groggy eyes suddenly woke up, her ears turned crimson quietly, and she rolled her eyes at Jiang Yunzhou angrily: "It's all your fault. Who asked you to live directly with your relatives?"
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled: "This is my revenge for the forced kiss you gave me this afternoon!"
Chu Xiaoqing curled her red lips slightly, tried to open some space between the two bodies together, and held up the jade box. Perhaps thinking that she would have to experience the previous entanglement in a while, she couldn't help but bite her red lips and take out the spiritual Gu. The jade hands were trembling a little.
She was about to swallow the spirit Gu, but Jiang Yunzhou grabbed her wrist.
Chu Xiaoqing was slightly surprised. Could it be that he regretted it?
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled lightly, pointed to the red spiritual Gu engraved with 'Master' in the jade box, and looked at Chu Xiaoqing with a smile: "Should I take the Master Gu first?"
"ah?"
Chu Xiaoqing hurriedly looked at the spiritual Gu in her hand. Under the moonlight, the word 'sub' was clearly visible on the slightly glowing spiritual Gu.
She quickly took out the main Gu, and her cheeks that had just recovered felt hot again.
So embarrassing...
Seeing her in a hurry, Jiang Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Chu Xiaoqing, who usually seemed extremely smart and cold, seemed a little confused in private.
After finally taking the main Gu and holding the secondary Gu on the tip of her tongue, Chu Xiaoqing looked up at Jiang Yunzhou again, her moist red lips slightly opened. After seeing Jiang Yunzhou's half-smiling expression, she immediately lowered her head shyly.
Jiang Yunzhou gently lifted her up with his forehead. Chu Xiaoqing's breathing was already a little rapid. The tips of their noses were leaning against each other. As their breaths intertwined, their lips covered her again and sucked lightly.
Chu Xiaoqing used her remaining sanity to stick out the tip of her slippery tongue and put the poison into Jiang Yunzhou's mouth...
