Chapter 178 When a person is unlucky, even drinking water will bring bad luck

The two secret guards were also startled and looked at the unfamiliar man who had fainted and was unconscious on the couch in disbelief.

That was indeed Miss Qiao's tent, so why would the person tied back from the bed be a man?

The two secret guards immediately knelt on the ground, waiting for orders anxiously.

Chen Che suddenly lost interest, his thin lips turned red as blood, "Useless thing."

His tone was very indifferent, as indifferent as a pool of stagnant water.

After a moment, Chen Che turned back to the inner room, his light voice spreading like clouds and mist.

"Cut your own throat."

The personal guard asked: "Sir, the one on the couch..."

No more sound came from the inner hall.

The guard didn't ask any more questions, but just waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

On the other side, Qiao Wanyan was sitting on the couch in a jade-white underskirt, waiting for Zi Yuan to change all the bedding on the bed before she slowly got into bed and fell asleep peacefully.

Maybe it was because the air was still filled with the lingering scent of the incense, but Qiao Wanyan slept very deeply and had no dreams all night.

When I woke up the next day, I felt that I hadn't spent such a happy and comfortable night in a long time.

"Miss, you're awake." Zi Yuan immediately walked over when she saw the movement on the bed, and said excitedly, "Miss, the young marquis, the young marquis... "

Zi Yuan really couldn't help laughing. She chuckled and then tried her best to calm down before speaking again.

"The young marquis was stripped naked and hung on a high platform. He was seen by the patrolling imperial guards early in the morning and was hurriedly sent back. The young marquis is really unlucky, even more unlucky than last time. Last time he still had his underwear on, this time he was left with only a pair of underwear, hahahaha..."

Zi Yuan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. "I heard the patrolling imperial guards talking in low voices. When the young marquis woke up, his face turned black with anger. He yelled that we were not allowed to tell anyone."

Qiao Wanyan chuckled, "It's really strange that he didn't rush to me right away."

After all, he was unconscious last night, and he must have been unaware that he had gone to Chen Che's place and was stripped naked and hung on a high platform.

In this case, you will definitely believe in your heart that you did it.

But Jiang Qiyun was really unlucky. He was stripped naked and hung on a high platform many times. I don’t know who was so outstanding the first time?

The emperor had no intention of summoning the envoys from Xiling today, which clearly showed that he did not take Xiling seriously.

But if someone plays the good cop, someone else has to play the bad cop, just like the Xiling envoys, the prince invited the prince and princess of Xiling to go hunting in the forest, and they were accompanied by young masters and young ladies of the same age from official families.

Qiao Wanyan was among them.

Today is a very nice day with clear blue sky.

Qiao Wanyan arrived a little late, and was delayed for some time at the horse farm to select horses for the forest farm. When she arrived at the entrance of the forest farm, many people had already gathered.

But it was nothing more than lukewarm and false flattery between the Crown Prince and Prince Xiling.

He Zhiyu noticed Qiao Wanyan's figure. Seeing that she stopped at the edge of the crowd in the distance and had no intention of coming over, he called out, "Wanyan."

Chen Che turned around upon hearing this and saw a figure in the distance at a glance.

His eyes were firmly locked on her and never moved away.

The prince was the focus of the crowd, and everyone looked in the direction of Qiao Wanyan after hearing these words.

However, Qiao Wanyan did not show any sign of confusion, but a faint smile on her face, looking elegant, graceful, harmless, weak and charming.

Jiang Qiyun stared at her with a frown, his eyes following her from left to right, but he didn't see Qiao Wanyan look at him, which made him even angrier.

I knew she wouldn't give up easily. She drugged me, stripped me naked and hung me on a high platform. Is this something a lady from aristocratic family would do?

He still finds it incredible and unbelievable!!!

When Qiao Wanyan passed by Chen Che, the hairband in her hair was blown up and down by the breeze, brushing across the side of his neck.

Chen Che felt a little itchy in his heart. Such a stunning and rare beauty should be turned into a piece of beauty skin and treasured well. Only by preserving her beauty forever would she be worthy of being born in this world.

"Why didn't you take the bow I gave you? Did you forget?"

Qiao Wanyan paused, "That bow... Your Highness, I broke it by accident."

He Zhiyu didn't mean to blame her. "It's okay. If the string is broken, it can be repaired. When you are free in the afternoon, ask Ziyuan to send the bow to Jingyuan. He will repair it."

Qiao Wanyan looked a little uneasy, as if she didn't know how to say it.

He Yanli's lazy and wanton voice sounded: "It's not that the string is broken, but that the bow broke in two. It looks stuttering, just tell the truth, is there any need to be afraid?"

He Zhiyu looked slightly gloomy.

He Yanli added: "I accidentally broke the Phoenix Bow. My brother will not be angry, right?"

He Zhiyu's face remained calm. He Yanli broke the Phoenix Bow, but Wanyan said that she broke it accidentally. Why should she protect him?

He Yanli looked at He Zhiyu's still calm and composed expression, but could guess how unhappy he was inside.

"It was an unintentional mistake. How could I be angry? It's just that Wanyan didn't have a suitable bow when she entered the forest today. It was because of this unintentional mistake that she missed the fun."

Every word is not taken seriously, but every word is a sign of courtesy.

But He Yanli seemed not to understand the meaning. He raised his hand and saw Mo Xiao took out a bow from a wooden box and placed it in front of Qiao Wanyan.

"This is the Zhuyue that the prince promised to compensate Miss Second. Please don't dislike it."

There was a sound of everyone gasping.

No matter who it is, when they receive Zhuyue, which is known as the best bow in the world, they would not feel disgusted at all, right?

King Jing was a little too generous, giving such a precious bow as compensation.

Chen Che glanced at the bow that Qiao Wanyan took and then looked at her face, his expression as dark as the abyss.

Chen Shuwen sighed softly, "This princess has heard some rumors even in Xiling. It doesn't seem to be consistent with the rumors that King Jing is so generous. Why should he send an apology when he accidentally broke her bow? Shouldn't King Jing be happy only when he sees her unhappy?"

He Yanli looked over with a cold gaze, "It's just a bow. If I want to make someone unhappy, why would I use such a childish and unpresentable method?"

Chen Shuwen snorted coldly, "A minister's daughter, you want to deal with her as easily as crushing an ant, what are you pretending to be..."

Shen Che gave her a look, and Shen Shuwen immediately shut up, lowered her eyes and became quiet.

To outsiders, Chen Shuwen was extremely respectful to her brother. They never imagined that it was because Shen Che was the Crown Prince of Xiling and because his temperament was too ruthless and cold that she was afraid to act rashly.
