Chapter 434: Chen Zhao's Extra (14)

"Wanqing!" Chen Zhaozhi chased after the beautiful figure, but happened to see Xia Wanqing talking to her personal maid.

They both turned to look at him.

Chen Zhaozhi had no choice but to touch his head and turn away, as unmarried men and women should not touch each other.

It's okay in private, but it's definitely not good to do it in front of a third party.

Xia Wanqing said to the maid, "Go back and tell my father that I'm out riding my horse because I'm feeling down. I'll be home later."

A girl in the boudoir would go horseback riding at night instead of going home? This would be unthinkable in other families, but it was common in the Xia family.

Not to mention Minister Xia, even the maids have long been accustomed to lying for Xia Wanqing.

The maid responded and left. Xia Wanqing turned to Chen Zhaozhi and said, "Tell me, what else is there?"

At this time, Chen Zhaozhi's mind became blank again, and he blurted out: "...I just want to talk to you."

"That's not necessary."

"Wanqing, do you think we still have hope?" Chen Zhaozhi asked hopefully, pretending he didn't hear.

"No more." Xia Wanqing extinguished the fire in Chen Zhaozhi's heart with another sentence.

"Why?" Chen Zhaozhi said, "I know I've offended you too much in the past. If you're unhappy, just vent it on me. Beat me or scold me until you're happy!"

If these words were said a thousand years later, the girl might not feel anything, but in this era, these words are shocking.

To be honest, Xia Wanqing really wanted to hit him.

I even fantasized about meeting him on the street, dragging him into an alley, beating him up, and then throwing him to the dogs.

But she had no urge to take action now.

"It's meaningless, Shen Zhaozhi." She said "no" three times in a row, "Our position is destined that nothing will happen again."

"Standpoints can change." Chen Zhao said.

Xia Wanqing shook her head: "How? I won't beat you, I want you to leave your master and join my father's camp. Can you do it?"

Of course not.

He had already paid too much, and it was impossible for him to stop. Even if he wanted to, the master would not let him go.

Chen Zhaozhi shook his head.

Xia Wanqing said, "Then there's nothing more to say."

Once emotions are mixed with politics, many things become completely different. Not to mention that they are not only the politics of their parents, but they themselves have also firmly established their own positions.

…

Tick-tock.

At some point, the rain started to fall lightly.

In this area of ​​Beijing, it rarely rains during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As far as they can remember, this seems to be the first time.

Looking up again, the bright moon was gone, and only gray clouds covered the moonlight.

The surroundings suddenly became much darker.

Because of the rain, the dinner that was originally scheduled to continue ended early.

Officials walked towards the palace gate one after another. Chen Zhaozhi and Xia Wanqing had to hide deeper in the palace to avoid being seen and causing criticism.

Neither of them had an umbrella, and the rain quickly soaked them all.

"Don't you know some magic?" Xia Wanqing couldn't help but ask after being drenched for a long time, "Use it to block the rain."

Chen Zhaozhi said innocently: "It can't be used. If I use it, my master will know that I am here."

The two were silent again.

It's like two unlucky people trapped on a deserted island, isolated from the world.

Chen Zhaozhi finally came to his senses and picked up a huge banana leaf from the side, and used it to cover Xia Wanqing and his own head.

To be honest, it didn't have much effect, the rain still fell on them.

But the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves overhead is very romantic.

Only then did Chen Zhaozhi remember to take off his coat and put it on Xia Wanqing's shoulders, and she did not object.

But when he did this, he had a strange idea. He really wanted to put his arm around Xia Wanqing's shoulders, but he finally held back.

"How long are we going to stay here in the rain?" Xia Wanqing gathered Chen Zhaozhi's coat. There was a light fragrance, which she did not dislike.

"Let's wait until everyone is gone, or the moon sets." Chen Zhaozhi said softly.

"I want to ask you something." Xia Wanqing said suddenly.

"you say."

"If your master's rebellion fails in the future, will you turn back and return to the right path?"

Hearing this strange question, Shen Zhaozhi laughed softly.

He didn't blame Xia Wanqing for badmouthing his great cause, and just nodded: "I guess so."

"That's fine, maybe that day will come soon." Xia Wanqing straightened her clothes again.

Chen Zhaozhi turned to look at her and found that her hair, body and face were all wet.

Unlike other ladies in the capital, she rarely wore heavy makeup and would only put on some simple powder when attending important occasions such as palace banquets.

Now that it is wet, it doesn’t feel strange.

The water droplets fell on her long eyelashes, making her look even more pitiful.

Chen Zhaozhi suddenly remembered what his mother had just said.

If you like, use charm.

Perhaps the foxes use such a simple and crude method to communicate with each other, but in human cognition this is obviously nonsense.

Charm is only temporary. It can bring a brief moment of pleasure, but the only thing left is a disastrous ending.

But the fox's nature began to stir in Shen Zhaozhi's body.

He desperately wanted to release his charm, and this impulse almost broke his sanity.

He endured it, tried to endure it, but the nature of a half-demon could not be easily covered up by human reason.

He forcibly took back the power... Wait, oh no!

The magic bounced back and hit him directly.

He felt a burning pain on his body, gasped for breath but couldn't get any air, and even his vision was blurred.

"Chen Zhaozhi!" Xia Wanqing noticed something was wrong and quickly supported him. "What's wrong with you? I'll take you to find your master."

Chen Zhaozhi did not respond, but held her wrist tightly.

"What are you going to do? Are you crazy?" Xia Wanqing kicked him away, but saw that he sat on the ground and didn't get up.

His hands were tightly grasping his arms, leaving bloody marks on them.

Xia Wanqing reacted instantly and shook her head slowly: "You guy, you must have taken the wrong medicine."

…

Chen Zhaozhi didn't wake up until early in the morning and was woken up by the palace servants who were cleaning the imperial garden. At this time, Xia Wanqing had left.

His clothes had been neatly packed. He sat on the ground for a long time before realizing what had happened. His head felt like it had been struck by lightning.

It was him... How could he do such a thing?

Did his charm work? Or did it backfire?

Chen Zhaozhi now has no idea how much money he has.

He stood up and rushed out of the palace, without even having time to change his dirty clothes that were covered in mud and water, and rushed to the gate of Xia's mansion.

Unfortunately, the Xia family turned him away.

He tried to climb over the wall and break in, but the obviously increased number of guards near the boudoir also cut off his possibility of sneaking in.

Wanqing actually refused to see him at all? How could this be possible? This was her lifelong event.

Originally, Chen Zhaozhi didn't want to give up easily after this happened, and he tried to send in many letters, but all of them fell into the sea.

As if nothing had happened between them.
