Chapter 545 You are very important to me
Luo Qinghan held Xiao Xixi in his arms.
Hug her especially hard.
Xiao Xixi was almost suffocated, she quickly patted the prince on the back and reminded him with difficulty.
"Don't use so much force. I'm a human being, not a piece of wood."
Luo Qinghan relaxed a little, but still maintained the posture of holding her and refused to let go.
He asked, "Why were you locked in a metal box yesterday? And why were you sunk into the river?"
He had been investigating the matter since yesterday and had already made some findings, but he still wanted to hear her own version of the story.
Xiao Xixi leaned in his arms and adjusted her posture to make herself more comfortable.
"It's a long story. Yesterday I met my third senior brother in Changting Pavilion..."
She recounted from beginning to end what had happened since she met her third senior brother.
Luo Qinghan: "You mean, the Queen and Prince Xiling are having an affair?"
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
If these words were spoken by someone else, Luo Qinghan would definitely be skeptical, but the person who said this was Xiao Xixi, and he trusted Xiao Xixi 100%. Since she said so, then this matter must be true.
Luo Qinghan: "You just found out about the affair between Prince Xiling and the Queen, and then you were thrown into the river. What a coincidence."
Xiao Xixi looked up at him: "Do you suspect that the King and Queen of Xiling want to kill me?"
Luo Qinghan asked back: "Can you figure out who the murderer is?"
Xiao Xixi: "The real murderer asked someone else to do it. He didn't show up himself. I can't figure out who the real murderer is unless I can see the murderer with my own eyes. Otherwise, you can arrange for me to meet with King Xiling, maybe I can get some clues..."
Luo Qinghan refused without even thinking: "No."
"Why?"
"If King Xiling is really your murderer, he would have made preparations in advance if he knew you were alive. If you take the initiative to meet him, it would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Xiao Xixi: "You can go with me to see him. Bring more people with you. There shouldn't be any problem."
Luo Qinghan: "King Xiling is not stupid. If we bring so many people to meet him, he will definitely not show up. If he wants to hide, he will have plenty of excuses."
Xiao Xixi stared at him for a moment: "You seem to have determined that King Xiling is the real murderer?"
"He has the motive and the ability to commit the crime, and the timing is so coincidental... He is too suspicious."
Xiao Xixi thought of another idea: "How about I go ask the senior brother? Maybe I can get some information out of him."
Luo Qinghan: "What if he takes the opportunity to attack you?"
Xiao Xixi is very confident: "No risk, no gain. Even if he really wants to attack me, should I just surrender?
In terms of skills alone, the eldest brother may not be my opponent.
Besides, if he attacked me, it only means that he was guilty, which indirectly proves that King Xiling might be the real murderer who killed me.
No matter how you calculate it, I think this deal is worth a try!"
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Xiao Xixi felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Luo Qinghan asked: "What's your zodiac sign?"
Xiao Xixi blurted out without thinking: "I belong to you."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He ignored the other party's cheesy love words and said coldly: "I thought you were born in the year of the cat, with nine lives and couldn't die, so you dared to commit suicide like crazy."
Xiao Xixi shrank her neck: "I really think this is a good idea."
Luo Qinghan pinched her chin and warned her seriously.
"I will find a way to deal with King Xiling. You stay in Qingge Palace and take good care of your health. You are not allowed to go anywhere."
Xiao Xixi took a breath and said, "Please be gentle. You almost broke my jaw."
Luo Qinghan loosened his fingers and saw a little red mark on her chin.
He bent his head and kissed her on her chin, then on her lips.
Xiao Xixi stepped back: "I just got up and haven't washed my face or rinsed my mouth yet."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
The good atmosphere was gone in an instant.
Luo Qinghan let her go and asked the palace maid to come in and help her wash up.
Xiao Xixi covered her stomach and cried out that she was hungry.
Baoqin came in carrying a pot of thick and sticky millet porridge.
Luo Qinghan took the porridge and fed it to Xiao Xixi himself.
With the previous feeding experience, Luo Qinghan’s feeding skills have improved a lot now.
He fed Xiao Xixi porridge spoonful by spoonful.
I finished the whole bowl of millet porridge very smoothly.
Xiao Xixi smacked her lips, still unsatisfied: "It would be even better if there were some shredded pork and preserved eggs in this porridge."
Century egg and lean meat porridge, just thinking about it makes me feel delicious!
Luo Qinghan asked: "Would you like another bowl?"
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
Luo Qinghan served her another bowl of porridge.
Xiao Xixi asked while eating: "How did you know I was in the river yesterday?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Someone has informed me."
Xiao Xixi was very curious: "Who is it?"
"I don't know. That person hid himself very well. I can't find him for a while."
Xiao Xi drank a mouthful of porridge and asked again, "You left Changting Pavilion early before the opera was even finished yesterday. Was the Queen Mother angry?"
Luo Qinghan: "No, she never cares about these little things."
He paused and continued, "When I went to look for you yesterday, the lady historian beside the Queen Mother suddenly came to me and said that the Queen Mother wanted to see me. The timing was too coincidental. I suspect that someone deliberately mentioned me in front of the Queen Mother and instigated the Queen Mother to call me over at that time to cut off the possibility of me saving you."
Xiao Xixi's attention was focused on another thing.
"The Queen Mother summoned you yesterday, didn't you go?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I was rushing to save you at that time, so how could I have time to see the Queen Mother? In the end, the King of England had to accompany the Queen Mother on my behalf."
Xiao Xixi was quite surprised: "For my sake, you actually risked offending the Queen Mother. When did I become so important in your heart?"
Luo Qinghan: "I said you are very important to me."
Xiao Xixi: "How important is it? Is it more important than the country?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer but asked: "If I say that you are more important than the country, do you believe it?"
Xiao Xixi laughed: "I don't believe it."
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything else and quietly fed her porridge.
After eating and drinking, she felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning.
Luo Qinghan helped her lie down and covered her with a blanket.
"Go to sleep."
Xiao Xixi curled up in the warm quilt, looked at him with half-open eyes, and asked lazily: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Luo Qinghan: "You go to sleep first. I have other things to do later. I will sleep after I finish my work."
Xiao Xixi: "Don't sleep too late. Staying up late can cause baldness."
"Yes, I understand."
