It looks like he is a little angry.
Chu Ci raised her eyebrows and looked at the guy with a hint of smile in her eyes.
Nothing has happened yet, let alone letting others get close to you. You haven't even said a few words yet, and you're already so angry?
This is really unfair.
Chu Ci supported her chin with her hand. Due to the structure of her clothes, her sleeves slid down a little, revealing her white and tender arms like lotus roots.
"You..." Hu Xun frowned subconsciously, somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Qi's actions at the moment. Even though he had no complaints or prejudices against Xiao Qi before, he just heard rumors occasionally and disagreed with Xiao Qi's actions.
At this moment, she was meeting Chu Ci, and this Xiao Qi came in directly without even asking for permission. This was not only a challenge to the authority of the royal family, but also a contempt for her as the Minister of Justice.
How could Hu Xun be pleased with this?
Xiao Qi didn't say anything after entering the room. After taking a look at the situation in front of him, he stood there without moving, looking at Chu Ci, as if he wanted to hear what Chu Ci had to say.
"Your Highness, even when you're out and about, you still have to follow the rules, don't you?"
Hu Xun's eyes darkened, and there was a hint of worry on his face.
Hu Tianhao, who was sitting behind Hu Xun, pursed his lips, tightened his fingertips, and stared straight at Xiao Qi, who had been standing aside since he entered the room, with his somewhat cloudy black eyes.
His complexion also looked quite bad.
Chu Ci raised the corner of her lips, raised her hand and waved it, "Xiao Qi."
Seeing the smile in Chu Ci's eyes, Xiao Qi pursed his lips slightly, turned around and bowed to Hu Xun, "Your Highness has been exhausted from the journey today. I was worried about your health, so I came in directly. Everyone was busy outside, so I didn't ask too much about the situation."
This is to explain why I rushed in directly.
This man has always been arrogant and wanton. Not to mention bowing his head, I guess even if the empress is here, he won't restrain himself much. And as long as you don't provoke him, he himself won't cause any big trouble. Besides, the Xiao family protects their people. Although they dislike it, if you really want to make a move, you can try.
How could this person ever bow his head to others?
So after hearing this, Hu Xun, who was originally angry, actually felt flattered.
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he stood up and his eyes met Hu Tianhao's. The corners of Xiao Qi's lips curved slightly to the side, revealing a slightly mocking smile.
The reason he bowed his head at this moment was only because of the relationship with the Hu family. The Hu family was one of the main forces supporting the Crown Princess faction. If the Hu family was alienated, it would not be good for Chu Ci.
After hearing this, Chu Ci paused for a moment, then frowned slightly and glanced at Hu Xun.
Hu Xun saw the meaning in Chu Ci's eyes and was slightly stunned.
Then he stood up and bowed, "I have said everything I need to say. Your Highness has indeed been very tired today. Please rest early. I will withdraw first."
"Well, go ahead."
Hu Tianhao frowned, a little bit unbelieving that his mother swallowed his words so easily, and planned to take him away, leaving Chu Ci and Xiao Qi alone.
But Hu Xun had already spoken so much, and no matter what, Hu Tianhao was just the son of a minister and had no say, so he could only follow Hu Tianhao and retreat.
Only after leaving this quiet little house did Hu Tianhao take a step forward and walk side by side with Hu Xun.
