Chapter 383 Cousin
Mo Xiao followed Prince Jing upstairs, and when he passed Qiao Wanyan's half-closed room, he deliberately raised his voice.
"Your Majesty!"
He Yanli was caught off guard and startled. He turned around to glare at him and was about to scold him, but he saw Mo Xiaoyang smiling and continuing to shout loudly, deafening his ears.
"Your Highness! It's almost dawn, and we have to set off to return to the capital. The Second Miss has no one to serve her. Would you mind asking Your Highness to help comb her hair? It's probably too late to ask a maid to come over at this time!"
After Mo Xiao finished speaking, he did not wait for King Jing to reply. He smiled awkwardly and walked down the stairs quickly, saying as he went down, "I remembered that I have something else to tell you. I will take my leave first."
Mo Xiao went downstairs in a flash. Ever since he was rewarded by He Yanli and Qiao Wanyan one after another at Prince Jing's Mansion last time, he felt like his Ren and Du meridians were opened up. He was no longer the stupid guy with a wooden head who didn't understand men's hearts.
Standing at the door of the inn, feeling the cool breeze of the summer night, Mo Xiao put his hands on his waist and felt an incomparable sense of accomplishment in his heart.
What does it mean to read people's expressions? What does it mean to be a good subordinate of your master? What does it mean to have good judgment?
Saying what your master really wants you to do is what makes you a good subordinate!
Qiao Wanyan heard the noise at the door. Mo Xiao's voice was so loud that she must be deaf, and completely deaf.
The door was ajar. Qiao Wanyan heard the sound of the door opening and looked through the bronze mirror.
He Yanli stood at the door with no intention of coming in. He saw her sitting in front of the mirror. She had changed into the pink and white luxurious long dress he had asked someone to prepare. But her black hair fell behind her, shining in the candlelight, like a pool of moonlight entwined with her black hair.
"We have to leave at dawn. What are you doing here? You don't have a maid to serve you, and you don't even know how to comb your hair."
Qiao Wanyan picked up the comb on the table and said, "Yes, I just can't live without someone to serve me. Since the prince thinks I'm troublesome, I won't go back to Beijing with him."
"What?"
Qiao Wanyan: "There is the Jin's Company in Chengping. If I go there, someone will take me back to the capital. Although it is not as safe as following the prince back to the capital, no one will say that I am dawdling, and someone will comb my hair for me."
After she finished speaking, she lay on the dressing table and lowered her voice, "I am just a person who is hated by others. I was brought here alone. No one takes care of me and cares about me. It's my duty. The prince hates me in his heart. Now that he sees me in such a miserable state, he must feel relieved, right?"
It looked pitiful. He Yanli couldn't help but smile when he heard these words.
Qiao Wanyan was pretending to be pitiful, and everyone could see her little tricks in pretending to be pitiful.
The footsteps sounded, not getting farther away, but getting closer.
The comb in her hand was taken away. He Yanli stood behind her and looked at her pitiful little face through the bronze mirror. "Sit down."
Qiao Wanyan had a way out but didn't take it. "I'm so hungry that I don't have the energy to sit up. I want to eat. Chen Che is a bad man. He doesn't give me food. I'm so hungry."
If Chen Che heard these words, he would definitely be furious. Although the conditions along the way were difficult, Qiao Wanyan ate the best food and cooked a separate meal for herself.
Not only that, he also fed the baby spoonful by spoonful himself, and his service was so thoughtful and meticulous.
He Yanli didn't believe it either. When he saw her in Chengping, he could tell that her face was rosy and healthy, and it was obvious that she hadn't suffered much during this period.
But He Yanli didn't say much. He just said it was troublesome and asked someone to prepare the meal.
Soon, He Yanli came in with a bowl of steamed rice.
"Eat, didn't you say you wanted to eat?"
Qiao Wanyan took a look, turned her face to the other side, and continued to lie there motionless.
He Yanli sneered and waved his hand. Then the people at the door came in and moved the table over. Then the exquisite dishes were served.
"Are you still not getting up? Are you waiting for me to feed you?"
Qiao Wanyan glanced at the dishes on the table. They were light but not perfunctory.
"My hands were tied by Chen Che, and I still can't lift them because of the pain. If the prince doesn't feed me, then I will have to starve."
The guards tactfully retreated and closed the door.
He Yanli was so fascinated that his mind was blank. He fed her patiently spoonful by spoonful. After she finished half a bowl of rice, he saw her smug look and finally reacted and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Qiao Wanyan blinked her eyes and said, "Cousin, why don't you feed me? I'm not full yet!"
"Who is your cousin?"
Qiao Wanyan's eyes were bright and clear. She leaned closer and tilted her head to watch his face as he looked away. "The postmaster called me Miss Cousin and said that I was the prince's cousin. Then shouldn't I call you cousin?"
He Yanli couldn't defend himself, as this was indeed what he ordered.
A noble lady from the capital city has gone missing, and it is not good for her reputation for a person to appear here.
"Cousin? Cousin? Am I right, cousin?"
He Yanli couldn't help but look at the way she tilted her head and looked at him with a slightly cunning expression, nor could he help but laugh out loud.
Qiao Wanyan sat back and stopped looking at him. If King Jing had a chance to ascend the throne, she would have a good chance of becoming the queen with a little effort. If He Zhiyu could be deposed and re-established, she would also have a chance of becoming the queen.
No matter what, the situation of being a crown princess or a queen is very promising.
At this moment, we will never end up in such a tragic situation as the storybook.
At least Lu Jinye won't kill himself for Qiao Yihuan.
He Yanli had never combed anyone's hair before, but even though it was his first time, he still combed it more carefully than the maid, and not a single hair was pulled.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and Mo Xiao followed, "Your Majesty, it was my incompetence that I failed to stop him."
Lu Jinye came here at full speed overnight. He had not slept for several days and nights, and his face was pale.
The first person he saw when he entered the room was Qiao Wanyan, who looked a little stunned. He walked over to her and inadvertently glanced at the man behind her who was combing her hair, then stopped in his tracks.
After their eyes met for two seconds, Lu Jinye climbed out of the window without hesitation.
Qiao Wanyan blinked and looked at the window.
no.......
Fourth floor!
He Yanli put the comb under her jaw and applied slight force, causing Qiao Wanyan to tilt her head back and look at him.
"Don't you want to go over and see if he's broken or not?"
Qiao Wanyan held his wrist holding the comb with one hand and said, "I only care about my cousin."
He Yanli opened his thin lips slightly, wanting to say something, but seeing Qiao Wanyan, he said, "I only care about when my cousin can comb my hair beautifully."
He Yanli seemed to want to say something, but in the end he kept his words to himself and continued to comb her long hair with the comb.
Qiao Wanyan looked at his face through the bronze mirror, "Do you know why Lu Jinye is like this?"
He Yanli paused for a moment and did not answer her directly, but answered her in another way.
"Will the mother-child Gu on him endanger your life?"
He Yanli confirmed that he wanted to kill the man who had once disgusted him.
