Chapter 395 We Must Avoid Suspicion
Xiao Xixi said as a matter of course: "Of course you should report to the police if you encounter bad guys. This is common sense!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her with a complicated expression: "I thought you would stab back with a knife."
Xiao Xixi was shocked: "What are you thinking about? If a dog bites me, do I have to bite it back?!"
Luo Qinghan was speechless.
So in your eyes, Concubine Zhao is almost like a dog?
What did the poor dog do wrong? !
Luo Qinghan: "Look at you, you don't care about Lady Zhao at all?"
Xiao Xixi said as a matter of course: "She is not nice to me, why should I take her to heart?"
Luo Qinghan was quite surprised: "You still know that she treats you badly? I thought you knew nothing."
"She slandered and framed me in front of you before. How could I not feel such obvious malice? I just don't care. She can't hurt me anyway. Instead of wasting time playing tricks on her, I would rather eat two more bowls of rice."
Luo Qinghan didn't know what to say for a moment.
He finally realized that Xiao Xixi really didn't care about Concubine Zhao at all.
All the hatred, resentment and anger have nothing to do with her.
Luo Qinghan asked again: "If I hadn't helped you last night, how would you have dealt with Lady Zhao?"
Xiao Xixi emphasized, "You got the order of priority wrong. I brought Lady Zhao along because I wanted to go out on a date with you. If you weren't here, why would I go out?"
"I thought you would be willing to dine alone with Lady Zhao."
"How could that be? My relationship with Lady Zhao is not good, it would be awkward for the two of us to be together. I would have a better appetite if I were eating with someone I like."
Luo Qinghan was stunned for a moment before he realized what she said.
He asked, "What you mean is that you asked me out for dinner because you like me?"
Xiao Xixi nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"
Although he knew that her "like" and his "like" were two different things, he still felt sweet in his heart.
Luo Qinghan said seriously: "Then don't eat with others casually in the future."
Xiao Xixi knew that his possessiveness was acting up again.
She responded with a tolerant attitude towards the naughty child: "Okay, from now on I will only eat with you."
The corners of Luo Qinghan's mouth involuntarily turned up.
Xiao Xixi noticed that the prince was in a good mood at the moment, so she took the opportunity to ask, "Why don't we go out for a date tonight?"
Luo Qinghan: "Okay."
He placed the white chess piece in his hand on the chessboard.
"I won."
Xiao Xixi lowered her head to look at the chessboard, and sure enough, a large area of black pieces had been eaten.
She stretched and said, "No more playing. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Luo Qinghan: "Well, go ahead."
Xiao Xixi stood up and walked out of the study.
After walking a distance and making sure that the people behind her could no longer see her, she immediately sped up and ran back to Huaxianju.
She ran into the house, closed the door, and quickly took out the storybook from the box.
She lay down on the couch and began to read the storybook with great interest.
Xiao Xixi was watching intently when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"My Lady Concubine."
Xiao Xixi was startled and looked up, only to see Eunuch Chang standing outside the window.
The lighting in the house is not good. Even if you light an oil lamp, it is not as comfortable as sunlight. Moreover, there is a floor heating in the house, so you have to open a window to get some fresh air, otherwise it will be uncomfortable in the room.
She was so engrossed in reading the storybook that she didn't notice there was someone standing outside the window.
Xiao Xixi quickly closed the book, stuffed it under the pillow, and asked as if nothing had happened.
"Why is Eunuch Chang here?"
Eunuch Chang raised the cake in his hand and said, "The imperial chef just made some snacks. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially asked me to bring them to you. Please open the door quickly so that I can bring the snacks to you."
Xiao Xixi got up and opened the door.
She took the cake from Eunuch Chang and said, "Please tell His Highness to thank me for me."
Eunuch Chang bowed to her, then said goodbye and left.
Xiao Xixi closed the door and put the pastries on the table.
She pulled out the storybook from under her pillow, but her mind was still thinking about what had just happened.
Eunuch Chang just saw her secretly reading the storybook.
Will he file a complaint?
Although Xiao Xixi had a good impression of Eunuch Chang, he was the prince's man after all. If he were to complain, all the words she had would be ruined!
No, she couldn't take that risk!
Xiao Xixi stuffed the script into the box and closed the lid.
She lifted the entire box and placed it on her shoulder.
This box of books was very heavy, weighing at least 60 or 70 kilograms. Fortunately, she knew martial arts, and with the help of her internal strength, she was stronger than an adult man.
She carried the boxes and ran out of Huaxianju and went straight to the eldest prince's residence.
The eldest prince Luo Yechen was recuperating in the house.
He was imprisoned in the Chenliu Palace before, and he was not abused, but he didn't live well either. Especially later, Qiu Yuan had him hung on the city wall as a hostage and starved him for a day. He felt that he had suffered a great blow both mentally and physically.
He stayed in his room obediently these days and rarely went out.
When Xiao Xixi ran in carrying the boxes, Luo Yechen was startled.
Luo Yechen sat up from the bed, pulled the quilt over himself, and said angrily: "Didn't you let anyone know before you came in?!"
Seeing that he looked extremely frightened, Xiao Xixi quickly comforted him.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you."
Luo Yechen became even angrier: "Even if you want to do something to me, I won't be afraid!"
What a joke! He is a great prince, how could he be afraid of a weak woman?!
Xiao Xixi looked left and right, carefully examining the room, trying to find a place to hide something.
Seeing that she ignored him, Luo Yechen became even more furious.
"Hey! Did you hear what this prince said?!"
Xiao Xixi said perfunctorily: "I heard it, I heard it."
She found that the space under the bed was empty, so it seemed like she could hide something there.
So she ran over quickly, knelt on one knee, and put down the box.
When Luo Yechen saw that she actually knelt down in front of him, his anger level immediately dropped significantly.
He coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "Since you apologize so sincerely, I will reluctantly forgive you this time. Remember to let someone know before you enter the house next time, and don't just barge in. I am an adult man after all, and you are the prince's concubine, so we have to avoid suspicion."
Xiao Xixi didn't listen to what he said at all.
She pushed the box under the bed.
Luo Yechen heard the sound of a heavy object rubbing against the ground and finally realized something was wrong.
He asked warily, "What did you put under my bed?"
