Chapter 154 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (21)
That gaze was like a bottomless pool, complex and deep, making it difficult to discern the expression within.
Xia Lingxiao's appearance was as handsome as a god, with slanted sword-like eyebrows, deep and sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips slightly pursed, with an innate nobility.
However, the aura he exudes often makes people ignore his overly handsome face. They only feel that his aura is terrifying, making people want to kneel down involuntarily.
"Zi, Zijin..." The beauty had a graceful figure and her eyes were as clear as water, which contained a hint of unfathomable fear. However, the words that came out of her delicate lips completely changed Xia Lingxiao's expression.
The expression of the Crown Prince of Daxia, who never showed his emotions, changed drastically.
The character "Jin" originally means beautiful jade and has always been regarded as a symbol of good quality and noble status.
It is the Queen's most earnest expectation and full love for the Prince.
Xia Lingxiao never showed this small word to outsiders.
Huo Tingye didn't know either.
Only three people in the world knew about it: he, his deceased mother, and his father, but his father no longer cared about it.
But now, how did this woman in front of me know this?
The cry was so lingering and sad that it made his heart and soul tremble.
It also gently stirred up the last soft memory deep in Xia Lingxiao's heart.
...How is this possible?
All of this was too unusual. Xia Lingxiao, who had always been known for his wisdom and strategy, and who could remain calm and at ease in all kinds of complex situations, felt for the first time in his life that his thoughts were as tangled as a tangled mess.
And his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the breathtakingly beautiful woman in front of him.
At this moment, she was like a beautiful flower blooming on a cliff, making people want to get closer to find out.
However, when his body moved slightly uncontrollably, Qingwu keenly caught this subtle movement and immediately retreated in panic like a frightened deer.
Xia Lingxiao has read widely and met all kinds of people. With his outstanding wisdom and strategy, he has successfully solved tens of thousands of difficult problems that ordinary people find incredible or even helpless.
He has always been confident that any secrets or thoughts hidden deep in anyone's heart will be exposed without reservation as long as they are slightly revealed in front of him, and there will be nowhere to hide.
But now...
An extremely absurd thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be... Qingwu once knew him?
They might even be closely related.
But the problem is that he has no recollection of this possible past.
Moreover, in terms of age, he is obviously older than Qingwu. According to common sense, he should be the first to get to know Qingwu.
However, Qingwu's terrified and avoidant reaction really puzzled him.
Xia Lingxiao, who had always scoffed at the so-called gods and Buddhas and never believed in such absurd concepts as reincarnation, was inexplicably reminded of the word "previous life" at this moment.
He was about to laugh at himself. What a crazy idea! How could such a thing happen in this world?
Qing Wu watched Xia Lingxiao approaching her step by step. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but after a stumble, she quickly held onto the wall to steady herself, opened the door, and ran away quickly.
He didn't even care about his wet clothes, and just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible, as if there was a flood or a beast behind him.
While Xia Lingxiao was in a state of extreme confusion and had no time to react, Qingwu had already disappeared without a trace along a remote path in the East Palace.
That path...
Xia Lingxiao thought that this path was very hidden, and if someone had not lived in the East Palace for a long time, it would be impossible for them to know of its existence.
Everything that had just happened kept flashing through Xia Lingxiao's mind. The strange thought from before resurfaced, making his expression even more complicated and unpredictable.
From beginning to end, Qingwu only said two words.
But it is these two words——
Xia Lingxiao's small handwriting...
It almost routed his army.
Xia Lingxiao's eyes were deep and cold. He had to find out what was going on and why Qing Wu was so afraid of him.
Obviously if...
If it was really as he guessed, Qingwu came here with the memories of her previous life.
She could call him by such a petty name, so logically speaking, the relationship between the two should be extremely close...
Thinking of this, Xia Lingxiao suddenly felt a burning sensation in his heart. Could it be that...
Were they once... a couple?
Otherwise, how can we explain what is happening before our eyes?
Since they are husband and wife, why is Qingwu so afraid of him?
What Xia Lingxiao didn't want to admit was that when he saw Qing Wu so terrified with his own eyes, the feeling was completely different from when he saw others trembling in fear of him in the past -
He actually felt...
An inexplicable feeling of loss welled up in my heart.
There was even a hint of displeasure mixed in.
Could a man like him have had a wife in his previous life?
He has always firmly believed that even if he gets married in the future, he will definitely carefully consider and weigh the interests of all parties before carefully selecting a woman who can provide the greatest help to him in achieving his imperial ambitions.
Then they will respect each other as guests and rule the world together.
He was born without any understanding of romance, and compared to her husband, he was the master of the world.
However, he never imagined that if his idea was correct, then the woman he would eventually marry as his queen in his previous life would be so delicate and weak, with a poor family background.
A woman who makes you want to protect and cherish her at a glance.
and......
Qing Wu's current appearance did not look like she was using her beauty as bait to deliberately seduce and cling to others. Instead, it looked more like—
It was as if Qingwu was forcibly abducted by him.
At this moment, Xia Lingxiao couldn't help but fall into deep confusion.
Xia Lingxiao didn't realize that before Qingwu did anything, he had already assumed that they were once husband and wife.
Once he has thought about it, all his subsequent actions will become a confirmation of his thoughts, and will only make him more and more convinced that his thoughts are correct.
