Chapter 245
10
The Fifth Prince inquired again and again about what Cheng Zhao had done after he left. He heard that Cheng Zhao had immediately sealed off the city and searched the entire city to find him. After learning that he had boarded the train, he immediately took another train to look for him. He first searched his lost suitcase and found it. Cheng Zhao thought he had been murdered and got very angry. He was so angry that he almost chopped the thief to death.
While he was sleeping soundly on the train, Cheng Zhao didn't close his eyes all night, always looking for his whereabouts.
The Fifth Prince did not expect that he had done so much, but when he saw Cheng Zhao, Cheng Zhao's expression was very calm, just like usual, and he did not see any signs on his face that he had been anxiously looking for him.
Now hearing how Cheng Zhao had traveled so far to find him, he felt deeply moved and also felt very sorry for Cheng Zhao.
He wanted to apologize to Cheng Zhao. Regardless of whether he did this in order to let him give birth to a purified child or to secure the throne, Cheng Zhao had indeed suffered a lot of trouble and fatigue because of his departure.
He also prepared a gift in advance and planned to give it to Cheng Zhao during class the next day.
But on his way to class, he saw Qiao Ayun and her brother. The two behaved very intimately, which did not seem like an ordinary sibling relationship.
The Fifth Prince was very angry when he saw this. How could she do something to let down Cheng Zhao, especially her brother!
The fifth prince lost control of his emotions and rushed to them to question them, "How could you do this to your own brother?"
"What?" Qiao Ayun looked at the hand he was holding with the man next to him and realized what he had misunderstood. "This is not my biological brother. We have been neighbors since we were young. He is a few years older than me, and I have always called him brother."
"Neighbor's brother?" The fifth prince was a little embarrassed. He had always heard Qiao Ayun calling that boy brother, and thought he was his biological brother. Moreover, when Cheng Zhao mentioned that boy before, he also called him Qiao Ayun's brother. It turned out that there were so many twists and turns here. "Something's wrong. Why is his last name Qiao too?"
"We live in Qiaojia Village." Qiao Ayun explained, and took out his ID card. "It has our home address. I live on No. 10 and he lives on No. 11. Free love is encouraged now. There's nothing wrong with us doing this, right?"
"That's a problem. How could you find another man behind Cheng Zhao's back? Are you worthy of Cheng Zhao?" The Fifth Prince usually saw that Cheng Zhao liked to hang out with Qiao Ayun the most. If Cheng Zhao knew about this, he would be heartbroken.
"Your Majesty knows about us," Qiao Ayun sorted out his words, "You don't think that Your Majesty and I are in love? You are the queen, how could you think so?"
"He knows? But you two are so close on weekdays..." The Fifth Prince remembered the last time Cheng Zhao mentioned that Qiao Ayun went out to buy things with his brother, and he asked him why he didn't follow them. It turned out that Cheng Zhao knew that they were a couple, so he didn't follow them. Only then did he realize that he might have misunderstood. Not only did he misunderstand, but he also ran crazy in front of others. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"We usually just discuss some study-related matters, and we didn't talk about anything unrelated to study. Besides, men and women can work together now. Does it mean that if a man and a woman complete a task together, they are together?" Qiao Ayun felt that the Fifth Prince's thinking was too old-fashioned. "Besides, His Majesty cares about you so much, you don't need to worry about these things at all."
"He cares about me?" As the Fifth Prince spoke, he was still holding the gift he wanted to give to Cheng Zhao as an apology. Recalling it carefully, Cheng Zhao seemed to really care about him.
Cheng Zhao was usually very cold to others. Apart from talking to Qiao Ayun about studying, he seemed to go to her whenever he wasn't in class or attending court, teaching her homework, eating with her, and even taking her with him when they went out to play. How could she have always ignored all this...
In an instant, his face was burning hot and he didn't dare to see Cheng Zhao. He almost fled back to his bedroom and didn't attend any classes today.
