Chapter 221 Men are really unreliable!

Xiao Jinghe felt a little frustrated that Yu Qinghuan was still thinking about leaving, but he was still unwilling to let go.

Yu Qinghuan faced Xiao Jinghe directly. After hearing what Cheng Gongjin said today, she was no longer worried about this matter.

"You can't keep me, I will leave sooner or later."

Her firm tone didn't even mean that he should let her go. Xiao Jinghe's eyes suddenly darkened. "Who are you expecting to take you away?"

Yu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat.

Xiao Jinghe approached her with a gloomy look on his face, and even a cold snort came out of his throat.

"Xie Zhili? Or your ex-husband who's been hiding in the backyard, grieving over the passing of time?"

After hearing about these two people from Xiao Jinghe, Yu Qinghuan felt relieved. It seemed that Cheng Gongjin had been handling things very well these days, and even Xiao Jinghe didn't notice his movements.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Jinghe was even more certain that she was waiting for Xie Zhili, and he immediately became jealous.

"Huanhuan, if you're counting on Xie Zhili, then you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible. His position and his men are all dependent on me, so he can't take you with him."

He tried to make Yu Qinghuan wake up and realize that he was the only person she could rely on.

But Yu Qinghuan was not counting on Xie Zhili at all, but Cheng Gongjin, whom even Xiao Jinghe did not notice.

She thought that it would be better to let Xiao Jinghe think that it was Xie Zhili and keep a close eye on Xie Zhili, which would make things easier for Cheng Gongjin.

So, she acted like she was being guessed, and was furious. "Xiao Jinghe! There are so many women in this world who want to marry you, why are you targeting me alone?"

Xiao Jinghe sneered, it was indeed Xie Zhili!

"Since so many women in the world want to marry me, why can't you be one of them?"

Yu Qinghuan was stunned. Why did the words come back to him?

Sang Ru watched the two people bickering with great interest.

Sometimes she even wondered what would happen to the girl if these men knew each other?

But this idea was too terrible. Just thinking about it made her tremble all over and she was afraid for the girl.

After dealing with so many people today, Yu Qinghuan was really tired of talking. He didn't want to argue with Xiao Jinghe and immediately drove them away, "Go away. I won't keep you tonight."

Xiao Jinghe sat down on the couch and snorted coldly, "This is my bedroom, are you going to chase me away?"

As he spoke, he began to undress, as if he was going to sleep here tonight.

Yu Qinghuan curled her lips, "Okay, you sleep here, I'll go to the side hall."

Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave, because she would have to sleep wherever she went anyway.

But she felt a little aggrieved. She didn't want to enter the palace, but now she was acting like the master, trying to drive her away and not letting her sleep.

Men are really unreliable!

Just as she was thinking this, her hand was pulled back and she was pulled back into Xiao Jinghe's arms and sat down.

Seeing this scene, Sang Ru left silently and closed the door considerately.

Yu Qinghuan struggled, but Xiao Jinghe held her tightly, "Huanhuan, can't you see my sincerity?"

sincere?

Yu Qinghuan looked questioning, "If you really want to treat me well, then let me go."

Xiao Jinghe: "That won't work."

Yu Qinghuan: "Then I can't see where your sincerity lies."

She has no shortage of money and jewelry now, and other men also have them. From this point of view, apart from his identity as the prince, there is nothing particularly attractive about Xiao Jinghe that can attract her.

Especially now, he was trapped in the palace because of his identity as the crown prince.

Xiao Jinghe: "......"

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, he really wanted to pinch Yu Qinghuan hard into his body so that she would know clearly how much he cared about her.

...

The night wind gently blew the branches, and on the table was another picture of a beautiful woman in purple. The beauty's eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised, and her red lips contained a half-provocative smile, which was exactly the look on Yu Qinghuan's face when she boldly teased him in the hall today.

Cheng Gongjin's hand holding the pen was suspended in mid-air, and the ink silently fell from the tip of the pen onto the other papers, spreading a dark pool like a deep pool. However, he was completely unaware of it. His gaze was fixed on the person in the painting for a long time, and he remembered that he had hugged this person during the day.

The corners of the person in the painting's lips were slightly raised, as if he was about to silently say to him the three bewitching words from the daytime.

Cheng Gongjin's fingertips quietly stroked the fair, slender neck of the woman in the painting, his Adam's apple rolling slightly. The emotions he had suppressed during the day were now exposed on the paper...

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the house, followed by a knock on the door, which suddenly broke the immersion.

"Teacher, it's me."

Cheng Gongjin's hand holding the pen faltered almost imperceptibly. He placed the pen back on the pen holder and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

He grabbed a few blank sheets of rice paper and covered the painting of the beauty he had just finished, as if he was forcibly suppressing his almost chaotic mood once again.

Mu Huaian pushed open the door and walked in.

At this time, Cheng Gongjin had returned to normal, his eyes were calm, and he was still the dignified and serious elder.

"What's up?"

Mu Huaian bowed to Cheng Gongjin and lowered his waist. "Please help me, Master, to rescue this person from the palace."

When he bent down, he caught a glimpse of a piece of obviously used paper under a pile of rice paper on the desk. The part that was not completely covered looked like a woman's bun... Was the teacher painting just now?

As far as he could remember, the last time Cheng Gongjin painted a picture was many years ago, for that cat.

What is being painted now is a person?

Cheng Gongjin's eyes were dark and unclear. "You already know about her connection with the Crown Prince, and you still want this person?"

Mu Huaian's attitude did not waver at all, and he remained steadfast in the matter of his beloved.

"Yes, please help me, nephew. I will be very grateful."

Looking at his nephew who came to him for a woman, Cheng Gongjin knew that he would obey whatever he was asked to do.

"Prince Rui is about to raise an army. If you can achieve merit in this matter, I can commend you to the Crown Prince, abolish the previous laws, and help you enter the court."

He originally wanted to use Yu Qinghuan to force Mu Huaian to obey him.

Now, she was brought into the palace by the prince by accident, and she didn't need to do much to achieve her goal.

Mu Huaian clenched his fists, "What if Prince Rui doesn't raise an army?"

Cheng Gongjin said solemnly, "He will raise an army."

His firm tone startled Mu Huaian. He knew that the teacher must have played a role in this. Perhaps it was the teacher who instigated King Rui to raise an army.

He has always been mediating between the two sides under the name of neutrality, completely disrupting the entire court situation and keeping it under control.

The teacher's methods have always been amazing.

Meeting Mu Huaian's gaze, Cheng Gongjin said calmly, "If you agree, I will bring the person out of the palace to you."
