During the previous family reunion banquet and the meeting when proposing marriage, he thought that the reason why Chunhua's skin became whiter was probably because she had applied girl's makeup powder.
But now it seems that Chunhua's skin is fair and rosy, as if this is her real skin color.
He remembered that when he was in the general's mansion, he had seen the white skin behind Chunhua's ears and on the palms of her hands.
Only then did he realize.
Chunhua specially tied her hair into a bun with a jade hairpin, and looked very cute when she dressed up as a young master.
Every frown and smile, every word and action, every gesture made his eyes glued to her and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Zhao Yuxiao's gaze was open and honest, and his eyes were so hot that they almost turned into substance.
Ying Xixi could hardly bear it any longer.
It's like a thorn in the back, sitting on pins and needles, and like a fishbone stuck in the throat!
"General Zhao, perhaps we can talk while we eat?"
There was a hint of resentment in Ying Xixi's tone.
When Zhao Yuxiao heard this and saw Chunhua's red ears, he laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, let's eat and talk at the same time."
The two of them each had a roast chicken and ordered a pot of scented tea, and they enjoyed the meal very much.
If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, Ying Xixi would have wanted to take out a bottle of fat otaku happy water from her space and drink it.
Roast chicken and soda, a perfect match!
"Chunhua."
Zhao Yuxiao suddenly called Ying Xixi in a familiar tone and by a familiar name.
Ying Xixi inexplicably felt her heart skip a beat.
"General, are there ears here? Otherwise, please call me Young Master Yang."
Ying Xixi lowered her eyes and didn't look up at Zhao Yuxiao.
“Walls have no ears, I’ve already booked the two private rooms next door.
Chunhua, how have you been these days?"
Zhao Yuxiao's gaze fell on Ying Xixi's face with affection, and he didn't want to look away at all.
"I'm doing well, my parents treat me well, how about you, General?
Have you investigated the murderer who assassinated you?"
Ying Xixi asked about the main business.
"Chunhua, you've gained weight. It's better to be a little fatter, it's also for your health.
Chunhua, are you concerned about me?"
Zhao Yuxiao lowered his voice a few notches and asked this question while staring at Ying Xixi.
He knew that Ying Xixi cared about him, but he just wanted to hear her admit it in person.
Perhaps only in this way can he feel at ease.
Let him make sure that Chunhua really has him in her heart.
Ying Xixi chewed and swallowed, then raised her eyes to meet Zhao Yuxiao's burning gaze.
"General, of course I am concerned about you, so how have you been these days?
I see that you seem to have lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under your eyes have become much darker."
Zhao Yuxiao felt warm in his heart when he heard Chunhua's caring words.
"Chunhua, before I knew you were brought back to the mansion by Madam Yang, my mind was filled with the image of you blocking the arrow for me and falling off the cliff.
I didn't eat well and didn't sleep well, so I lost weight.
Later, when I found out you were still alive and well, I was so happy that I wanted to run to the Minister of Justice's Mansion to see you immediately.
But at that time, my men found out that the murderer who assassinated me in the temple that day was Prince Rui, and from time to time there would be assassins coming to the general's mansion to assassinate me.
I was worried that if I went to see you, it would bring you danger, so I chose not to see you and decided to deal with King Rui first.
Chunhua, I'm sure you've heard about the search of Prince Rui some time ago.
I always thought that the letter you gave me was instigated by King Rui, so I used the same method to frame King Rui.
As a result, Prince Rui was unaware of this, and the Emperor did not order the execution of Prince Rui, who was suspected of treason."
Zhao Yuxiao sneered as he said this, "That's when I realized that the people who had been plotting against me all along were two groups of people: Prince Rui and the Emperor!"
Ying Xixi frowned upon hearing this. "If the emperor is also plotting against you, then it would be as easy as pie for him. He can find any excuse to kill you."
"Yes, so I'm going to do something that would be considered treason to ordinary people. Chunhua, are you afraid that I'll implicate you?"
Zhao Yuxiao looked at Ying Xixi and felt a little nervous.
If Chunhua said she was afraid, he would not blame her. He would only worry that Chunhua was unwilling to marry him.
He admitted that he was selfish. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, no matter whether he was alive or dead, he only wanted Chunhua to be his wife. In life, she would be his person, and in death, she would be his ghost!
"It's probably too late to talk about getting involved now, as everyone knows about your marriage.
No matter what you do from now on, it will seem to others that it has something to do with me.
So you don't need to ask me if I'm afraid of being implicated by you, because I am implicated now.
I just hope that what you do can be successful, so that I won’t end up being beheaded because of you.
General Zhao, are you confident of success?"
Ying Xixi chewed it over and over again, speaking seriously.
After hearing these words, Zhao Yuxiao's inner panic instantly disappeared.
Yes, this is the spring flower that he likes.
The spring flowers that he loved had never changed.
"Don't worry, Chunhua, I will definitely succeed!"
Zhao Yuxiao's heart has never been as determined as it is now.
"Well, let's pick a date to get married.
What you are about to do cannot be solved in a short time, right?"
Ying Xixi took the initiative to promote the marriage.
She had heard that many people in the capital were ridiculing her and Zhao Yuxiao because one of them had difficulty in having children and the other was a barren woman, and they were a perfect match.
Oh, when she gets married to Zhao Yuxiao, she'll be pregnant with triplets and scare these people to death!
Zhao Yuxiao became excited. "Chunhua, really? Are you really willing to pick a date to marry me so soon?"
Ying Xixi couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Yuxiao, this rough guy with a silly look on his face.
"Of course, wouldn't the General be willing?"
"Of course I do! I'd die for it!"
Zhao Yuxiao roared in a loud voice, causing passers-by on the street to look up.
Ying Xixi was so frightened that she quickly slammed the window shut to prevent Zhao Yuxiao from being recognized.
The two continued chatting about recent events for a while. Zhao Yuxiao finished the whole roast chicken, while Ying Xixi couldn't finish half of it. Zhao Yuxiao took it and finished it without any disgust.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ying Xixi took the initiative to suggest leaving.
Zhao Yuxiao looked at her reluctantly, pulling her sleeves and shaking them back and forth, like a clingy big dog.
"Chunhua, could it be that Lord Yang has set up a curfew for you? Can't you stay a little longer?
It's time for dinner now, how about we have dinner first and then I'll take you home?"
Ying Xixi shook her head, "I'm already full from eating that half roast chicken, I can't eat dinner anymore.
My father hasn't put me on curfew, but I should be going back soon, General. We'll have plenty of time to spend together once we're married, so there's no need to rush."
Zhao Yuxiao knew this, but he still wanted to stay with Chunhua for a while longer.
