Chapter 46 The Crown Prince's Concubine is so majestic
Qi Muchao could feel that gaze even with his eyes closed. He endured it again and again, and finally turned her to face the window, with his back to her, "Sleep!"
“It’s so hot.”
Lu Wanning whispered, "Take the quilt away, and I promise not to talk anymore."
It was such a hot day, and the ice in the room couldn't cool her down. This man wrapped her in a quilt, perhaps he wanted to heat her to death.
Qi Muchao pushed the quilt aside and put his arm around her waist.
This time she really didn't say anything and closed her eyes obediently.
Qi Muchao was busy all night last night. While Lu Wanning was guarding Song Yu's room, he was interrogating the bandits to make sure that these people came because of his last bandit suppression.
She had just talked with her father about court affairs for such a long time, so she was naturally very sleepy. So as soon as she calmed down, Qi Muchao fell asleep.
He seemed to have a dream, in which the scene was completely unfamiliar to him.
It was an extremely narrow yard. He had an iron chain as thick as a finger tied around his neck, which was connected to the jujube tree in the yard.
A small figure was lying on the low wall next to the jujube tree.
Its two chubby arms were trying to grab the jujube tree by the wall, it was chewing something in its mouth, and there were two little doggies on its head that looked very stupid.
Even in his dreams, Qi Muchao still remembered those cat-like glass eyes.
"Why are they tying you up?"
"Are you afraid I'll run away?"
"Then why did you run?"
"I want to go find my parents."
"Aren't they your parents?"
Who is she talking about?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the silly girl seemed to have figured something out. She clenched her fists and stared at the hemp rope around his neck. "I know, they are bad people."
After all, good people don’t tie people to trees like dogs.
So she jumped off the wall, and when Qi Muchao had given up hope, she climbed up again and slid down the jujube tree with her clumsy little fat legs.
The rough bark scratched her delicate clothes and scraped her delicate skin.
But she didn't seem to care. She just used all her strength to help him cut the twine with the scissors in her hand, and stuffed him a box of her leftover cakes. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Hurry up and go. They will be back soon."
Qi Muchao was kicked hard in the thigh and woke up from his dream. The bright daylight made him cover his eyes with the back of his hand.
Looking down, he saw that the person who said he couldn't sleep was now sleeping soundly, with one leg resting directly on him.
The light was too bright, and Lu Wanning frowned.
Qi Muchao subconsciously put his hands in front of her eyes.
The frown on his face gradually relaxed, and Qi Muchao curled his lips.
He stared at her closed eyes again and again.
It was the first time he had such a dream, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He just felt that the child's eyes in the dream were very similar to Lu Wanning's.
Lu Wanning's eyelids moved, as if she was about to wake up, and Qi Muchao quickly looked away.
This sleep was quite good. Lu Wanning thought it was already dark. She opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment, then heard Qi Muchao's cold voice, "Take your legs away."
Only then did she realize that her legs were still on him.
She pulled her legs back awkwardly and laughed awkwardly, "I've never had a good sleeping posture since I was a child."
Qi Muzhao sneered, "I thought you didn't know."
“…”
Perhaps because he knew that what he said to Aunt An that day was a bit too harsh, Mr. Chen has been sending gifts to Aunt An frequently recently.
Luxurious fabrics, exquisite jewelry, and pastries he bought personally.
Everyone was trying to coax Aunt An.
If it were any other time, Aunt An would have been extremely moved.
But now, I just feel nauseous.
The words he said while pinching her neck that day were still ringing in her ears. All night long, whenever she closed her eyes, she could see his face at that time.
I have been suffering for so long, but he can act as if nothing happened.
There is not a trace of sincerity in this, only interests.
After seeing Mr. Chen's true nature, Aunt An finally pulled herself out of it with clarity.
She could smile and praise the delicious cakes that Master Chen had bought, and she could also hold the luxurious fabric and discuss with the servants, "This material is good, it's just right for making Master a summer dress."
When the servant's words reached Mr. Chen's ears, he just chuckled twice and didn't take it to heart.
How can a backyard woman who can only depend on him survive without him?
Even if the relationship was broken up, she would still pretend nothing happened and continue to praise herself.
In the afternoon, Mr. Chen went out to discuss business, and Lu Wanning brought Hu Yan to the Chen Mansion.
Yesterday, Aunt An sent someone to deliver a letter to her, saying that she was not feeling well and asked her to help take a look.
So Lu Wanning came over.
On the way to Aunt An's yard, I met the second girl head-on.
After not seeing her for a few days, compared to her previous stubbornness, the second girl's expression can almost be described as gloomy.
Her eyes were fixed on Lu Wanning, as if she was blaming Lu Wanning for everything her mother was experiencing.
Hu Yan stood in front of Lu Wanning with a stern face.
Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Don't be so vigilant. The second young lady must have some misunderstandings about me."
"Bah," it would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but once she started talking the second girl couldn't help herself. "Don't think you can fool everyone by pretending to be innocent. I won't be fooled by you. Just wait, one day I'll reveal your true face."
Lu Wanning let out a cry and suddenly took a few steps towards her. She smiled and met her gaze, then spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Just like when I revealed Madam Chen's true identity? Don't be impatient, Second Miss. There are too many people wearing masks in your Chen Mansion. This is just the beginning. There's more to come."
The second girl screamed in anger and reached out to push her.
Lu Wanning stumbled and was supported by Hu Yan. After seeing her stand firm, Hu Yan took two steps towards the second girl, grabbed her neck and lifted her up. "How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful to the Crown Prince's Consort? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
As expected of Qi Muchao, he loves to strangle people just like Qi Muchao.
"The Crown Prince's Consort is so majestic." A familiar voice came, and Lu Wanning slowly turned around.
Chen Wenjian and Luo Li were standing behind her. Luo Li's eyes were full of mockery, while Chen Wenjian looked at her with great disappointment.
disappointment?
Lu Wanning wanted to laugh. She waved her hand at Hu Yan and said, "Forget it. I don't want to listen to all this chatter. Let's go to my aunt's place first."
But she wanted to leave. Luo Li had a rare opportunity when Qi Qingyao was not around, so she naturally didn't want to let her go just like that.
"I heard that the Crown Princess encountered assassins on her way back from Baoji Temple last time. We all went to Baoji Temple together, so why did these assassins only target the Crown Princess? It shows that the Crown Princess has offended many people in her daily life."
Luo Li looked at her and said, "So, Crown Princess, it's best to be more restrained. You may not be so lucky to escape from the assassin next time."
