Chi Lu was really curious. He had lived here for decades, and the only place nearby was their general's mansion. He was not used to the sudden arrival of a new neighbor.
"How can you be a thief if I ask you to go and take a look? You're not stealing anything, but you're just going to take a look. Is it the enemy's house? Did the emperor appoint a new official?"
Chi Qian'an had no choice but to take out the black veil from his arms and wrap it around his face, then walked into the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mingyin Pavilion.
Jiang Qiao had just finished washing up and lit the calming incense. She felt dizzy and had really caught a cold.
Yuxing settled Jiang Qiao down, closed the door and left.
Jiang Qiao cares about the people around her and never asks anyone to keep watch at night. The main reason is that she can't sleep if someone is listening to her movements.
[Host, don't sleep yet, the debris is coming, on your roof. ]
Jiang Qiao: [Come on, I'm so sleepy!]
[Host, now that you're here, it would be a shame not to gain some strategy points. I can only say that this world is the worst one for you. It's already Chapter 26, and you've only gained half of your strategy points. Hurry up.]
Jiang Qiao: [Wangcai, you're actually quite a capitalist. Your low strategy value isn't my fault. It's just that there aren't many opportunities in the palace!]
As she spoke, Jiang Qiao got up. She put three long shawls on herself, wrapped herself up like a ball, carefully opened the door and walked out, trying not to make any noise.
Chi Qian'an's attention was all around him. There weren't many people in the mansion. Most of the guards were outside, and there wasn't even a night watchman.
"General Chi, long time no see!"
The woman's voice was a little muffled, and it was noticeable that it was different from the one at the palace banquet.
Chi Qian'an was frightened by the sudden sound. He didn't move from where he was and didn't respond to the people below.
The person living here is the eldest princess?
How did she know it was him? Could it be that the princess had been keeping a low profile these past few years, hiding her true strength?
Jiang Qiao could hardly open her eyes. This time, the fragments didn’t give her face. So what? If they didn’t give it to her, then so be it!
"General Chi, how come you're a thief? Now that you're here, why don't you have a cup of tea with me?"
She wanted to get into the inner hall quickly.
Just as Jiang Qiao was about to invite him again, a dark shadow appeared in front of her.
Why is it called a black shadow? Because Jiang Qiao's eyes were half-closed and closed quickly.
Chi Qianan looked at the woman wrapped like a ball in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Jiang Qiao took a step forward and pulled off the black veil on the man's face while he wasn't paying attention. The red mole at the corner of his eye was faintly visible in the light and shadow.
"General Chi is here now, and it seems a bit disrespectful to show yourself wearing a veil."
Chi Qi'an asked her, "Princess, how did you know it was me?"
Jiang Qiao opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of autumn water, and smiled seductively, "This princess knows it."
Chi Qian'an looked into her eyes, his heart beating as fast as a drum. He couldn't help but clench his fists nervously to control his overflowing emotions.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 55% strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
"Your humble servant..."
"Okay, let's not stay outside anymore, let's go inside and talk! It's so cold outside." Jiang Qiao interrupted him and took his hand and went in.
Her hands were so cold, almost abnormally so.
Chi Qianan stared blankly at the person in front of him. She was not as terrible as the rumors said.
"Men and women should not touch each other."
Jiang Qiao: "Just don't treat me like a woman."
Chi Qi'an: ...
The room was indeed warm.
Jiang Qiao poured him a glass of water and asked, "General Chi, why are you here so late?"
Chi Qi'an answered honestly: "Grandfather is curious."
Jiang Qiao found it funny, "Are you curious?"
She stared into his eyes intently, waiting for the man to answer.
Chi Qianan didn't say anything. If it was you, it was undeniable that he was indeed curious, and this was his answer in his heart.
As the room warmed up, the sleepiness returned. Jiang Qiao lay on the soft couch, closed her eyes in a daze, and mumbled, "You don't have to be... curious. This princess... came... just for you."
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 61% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Chi Qianan admitted that he could not resist the temptation of the woman's words. It seemed that everyone in this life was staying away from him. His mother died because of him, his father did not like him, and his grandfather was separated from him for a long time... This time, someone said that she came for him.
He looked at the sleeping face of the woman calmly, the candlelight dancing on her face. Only then did Chi Qianan realize that the woman's face was abnormally flushed.
Chi Qian'an tentatively reached out his hand to her forehead, which was very hot.
He had a mental struggle, wondering how a gentleman could take advantage of someone in distress.
Next second.
Chi Qi'an carried the woman to the bed. She was so thin? Didn't the palace give her food?
When covering himself with the quilt, the woman's lips rubbed against the back of his hand. The moist and soft touch made Chi Qian'an's mind confused, and he suddenly withdrew his hand.
Wangcai watched this scene and thought to himself: This time the Lord God is really too patient! I admire him!
On the other side, the General's Mansion.
Chi Lu was still waiting for Chi Qianan to bring back the results.
A familiar figure appeared before him, and Chi Lu hurried to greet him: "Is it the newly appointed General Hou, or someone else who got promoted?"
"No one, but the eldest princess."
Chi Qianan hurried to boil the medicine, leaving behind a few words before disappearing.
Only General Chi was left thinking in the cold wind.
The eldest princess? Her Royal Highness Changle? The Changle who murdered Miss Qin II?
Chi Lu had stayed in the capital for quite some time and had long heard rumors about Princess Changle. He had also met her several times at banquets in the past and found her to be indeed domineering and had a bad temper.
It is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse to have such a person living near them.
Chi Lu sighed, stopped practicing with the sword, and returned to his room.
——
Chi Qian'an has lived in the border for many years and knows a lot about medicine. Even if he is not proficient in it, he can prepare the most convenient cold-relieving medicine.
He returned to Mingyin Pavilion with the prepared medicine.
Jiang Qiao was still half asleep, half awake, when some liquid was poured into her mouth, which made her frown.
"don't want."
Chi Qi'an scooped another mouthful and fed it to her, "Drink it quickly."
Jiang Qiao opened her eyes, her face flushed. She sat up straight and buried her face in the man's arms. "Chi Qi'an, is the emperor going to marry Jiang Shuhuan to you?"
Chi Qian subconsciously wanted to push her away, but the girl hugged him too tightly, "I don't know, I won't marry her!"
"Will you marry me then?"
As soon as the woman said this, Chi Qian frowned. The woman's hair touched his neck slightly, which was itchy and ambiguous.
"Whether you believe it or not, Jiang Shuhuan is after you. You can't agree to that. Chi Qian'an, you can only marry..."
Before he could finish his words, Chi Qian'an heard the woman's even breathing again.
"Really?" The man's voice was hoarse.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 68% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
After a long time, there was no response.
Chi Qianan raised his hand and brushed her fallen hair behind her ear.
She fluttered her eyelashes a few times and rubbed them gently in her arms.
Chi Qianan never thought that he would fall in love with such a person, a person who was so bad in the eyes of others.
