Chapter 82
She thought she was lucky...
An inexplicable feeling flashed through Chen Tang's heart. She just looked at the auspicious clouds embroidered with gold and silver threads on Xie Guimo's lapel without saying a word.
She really didn't know what to say. If she thanked him, Concubine Ye had called her, a soft persimmon, into the palace just to force her to tell who he was. If she didn't thank him, she would most likely have to kneel in Changchun Palace for three hours.
But a certain gentleman was already angry that she saw him taking a detour. The more she kept silent, the angrier he became. "Speak!"
Chen Tang looked up at him and whispered, "I didn't give you away. As long as I see you take a detour in the future, Concubine Ye and Marquis Changping won't guess it was you."
Xie Guimo laughed angrily. He really knew how to find excuses to avoid him. "Do you think I'm afraid that they will know?"
Shen Tang had nothing to say.
He is the prince of Jingyang, and the prince of Changping Hou asked for trouble both times. If they really had to bring it out in the open, not only would Xie Guimo not be afraid, but Changping Hou would have to go to Xie Guimo's house to apologize for his poor parenting.
But wasn't he secretly investigating the corruption of Marquis Changping? Once it was exposed, Marquis Changping and Concubine Ye would know it was him, and they would even guess that the Emperor wanted to take action against Marquis Changping. In his previous life, he kept it a secret and didn't let her know at all. How could she just push him out to protect herself?
Xie Guimo's eyes were aggressive. Chen Tang knew that he would not give up unless he said something. "If I say it, you and your mother will be accused of being ungrateful."
Princess Jingyang and Concubine Ye are more than cousins. Concubine Ye's father died on the battlefield more than 20 years ago while trying to save Princess Jingyang's father. Concubine Ye's mother committed suicide for love, leaving Concubine Ye an orphan. She was taken into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion by her uncle. Concubine Ye married the emperor and was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Although all the members of the Zhenguo Mansion died in battle later, the gratitude still exists. Anyone can investigate the Changping Marquis Mansion, except Xie Guimo. If these old gratitudes are dug up, everyone's spit will drown him and Princess Jingyang half to death.
Xie Guimo frowned.
This woman recognized him just by looking at his back, and even knew all these things. How did she know so much?
Xie Guimo liked to touch Chen Tang's face, and he touched it unconsciously. "You know a lot. Since you know so much, you should know that Marquis Changping and Concubine Ye will not stop until they find me. Do you think they will let you go if you refuse to tell them?"
This is also what Shen Tang is most worried about.
The Prince of Changping Marquis was beaten twice, and this time it was so serious that a rib was broken. Changping Marquis and Concubine Ye had lost so much face, how could they let it go? If they couldn't catch Xie Guimo, they would definitely keep a close eye on her.
She got away with it today, but what about next time? What about next time?
Why does she always mess with people she can't afford to mess with?
Chen Tang's mood was covered with a thick haze, and Xie Guimo's voice spread in her ears, "You can't even protect yourself, but you still think about me and my mother. You are so considerate. Why don't you think about me again? I still need a prince's consort..."
The hot breath drilled into her ears, causing a tingling sensation, which was then dispelled by the pain spreading in her heart.
Chen Tang really didn't want to talk to him about his future prince's consort, but she was imprisoned in this small place and couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Chen Tang said unhappily, "There are so many ladies from wealthy families in Kyoto. If you like any of them, just come and propose marriage."
Xie Guimo smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to you and go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
Why do you still want to marry her?
Wasn't she clear enough?
Afraid that he would really do it, Chen Tang said anxiously, "I can't do it!"
Xie Guimo had never wanted to strangle someone so much before. The smile on his face disappeared. "The emperor knows that I want to marry you. If I don't come to propose marriage, I will be deceiving the emperor. You will never marry anyone else in your life."
This may scare others, but it can't scare her.
Even an engagement can be called off, let alone the fact that they haven't even settled the marriage. The emperor loves him and has great trust in him, so even if the sun sets in the west, the emperor will not punish him for such a small matter.
Chen Tang said, "I won't marry."
Xie Guimo was so angry that his back teeth were itching. This woman would rather remain single for the rest of her life than marry him.
Xie Guimo's face was darker than the bottom of a pot, "Give me a reason."
Chen Tang was tired. Didn't she already give him a reason? Why did she still ask? Chen Tang could only say it again, "My mother won't allow it."
Chen Tang had said this reason when he didn't know the man's identity, but the man didn't believe it, so he forgot about it after hearing it.
He looked into Chen Tang's eyes and asked, "Why not?"
If you say no, then you are not allowed to do so. Why do you have to ask so clearly?
The misunderstanding between them in their previous life has been resolved. If she can get married, can she not marry him?
She had to tear open her wounds and rub salt into them. Chen Tang didn't want to say a word more and said perfunctorily, "I don't know either."
Xie Guimo didn't believe this answer, "You really don't know?"
Chen Tang said he didn't know.
"It seems that I can only dig up my mother-in-law's grave and ask her in person."
This bastard!
Who is his mother-in-law? !
He also wants to dig up her mother's grave? !
Chen Tang was so angry that she glared at Xie Guimo. She wanted to push Xie Guimo away and leave, but a drunk man had an especially stubborn temper. Chen Tang couldn't push him away, and her temper flared up, so she stepped on his foot in anger.
With just one step, the person being stepped on didn't cry out in pain, but the person stepping on him cried out in pain and tears came out.
Xie Guimo laughed angrily, "I haven't even cried out in pain yet, but you're the first to feel the pain?"
You step on him and still feel disgusted by his feet.
Seeing that Chen Tang was not pretending, he lowered his head and saw blood on Chen Tang's ankle. His eyes narrowed, "What happened to your foot?"
Tears of pain welled up in Chen Tang's eyes.
The injury to her ankle from the broken porcelain vase fragments in Changchun Palace was not as painful as the kick she just gave Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo helped her sit down and wanted to check her wound, but Chen Tang refused, "I'm fine..."
It's okay even though blood has been seen.
Chen Tang wanted to pull her foot back, but Xie Guimo was holding it in his hand, so it would be strange if she could pull it back.
But she couldn't marry him, and there shouldn't be such intimacy between them.
Xie Guimo wanted to see Chen Tang's wound, but when he touched it, Chen Tang felt pain, "It hurts, it hurts, be gentle..."
Ginkgo was guarding outside the rockery. When he heard this, his ears pricked up and his little face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt.
The girl and the prince of Jingyang are in the rockery. No, it won’t happen…
Although this area is remote and no one has come here for a long time, it doesn't mean that no one will come here forever. Isn't this too bold?
Ginkgo walked a few steps away, looking to the left and then to the right, afraid that someone would come and hear the noise.
In the rockery, Xie Guimo said, "The injury is not serious, it's just that the wound and the socks are stuck together."
He wanted to help Chen Tang deal with it, but Chen Tang couldn't bear the pain, "Don't move, don't move, I will go back and deal with it slowly."
