Chapter 501 I like it! I like it so much!
Luo Qinghan smelled the fragrance before he even entered the door and asked, "It's still early in the morning, why are you already eating?"
Xiao Xixi let the person into the house and responded.
"I suddenly wanted to eat bamboo tube rice, so I asked Baoqin to help me make some. Your Highness, would you like to try it?"
Baoqin moved quickly and had put a new set of bowls and chopsticks on the table in a blink of an eye.
Luo Qinghan sat down at the table and looked at the bamboo tube rice on it.
After the rice grains are steamed, they become plump and are added with pork belly that has been sautéed in oil and chopped radish. The aroma of meat, rice and bamboo mixed with the fragrance of bamboo can really stimulate one's appetite.
Even though it was not time for dinner, Luo Qinghan still ate half a bowl of rice.
Naturally, the remaining bamboo tube rice all went into Xiao Xixi's stomach.
She ate with great satisfaction.
Luo Qinghan took a sip of tea and asked calmly, "I heard from Mo Hua that you waited for me for a long time in Linde Hall yesterday. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Baoqin thought that the opportunity for communication had come!
She secretly winked at Concubine Xiao, hoping that Concubine Xiao would remember what she said yesterday and must be gentle and tactful so that the prince could feel the care from Concubine Xiao...
Xiao Xixi: "I went to care for you yesterday."
Baoqin couldn't catch her breath and almost suffocated to death.
Luo Qinghan obviously didn't expect Xiao Xixi to say such a thing, and was slightly startled: "Caring for me?"
Xiao Xixi said with emotion: "Yes, I specially brought chicken soup to you yesterday to show my concern, but you were not here. It's a pity that you didn't even get to drink a single sip of the delicious chicken soup, and it all went into my stomach in the end."
Baoqin: “…”
It turns out that the "pity" you mentioned yesterday was referring to this pity.
Luo Qinghan: "Why do you suddenly want to care for me?"
When he mentioned the word care, his tone became a little subtle.
Xiao Xixi sighed helplessly: "It's all because of you. Yesterday you suddenly came to me and said you needed my help, but then you said you didn't need my help anymore, which made me a little panicked."
Luo Qinghan: "Why are you panicking?"
"You don't even need me anymore, so of course I'm panicking."
Luo Qinghan was very surprised.
He didn't want Xiao Xixi to help because he didn't want her to suffer.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Xixi actually thought that he didn't need her anymore.
Luo Qinghan signaled for others to leave.
Baoqin and Eunuch Chang quietly retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Only Xiao Xixi and the prince were left in the room.
Luo Qinghan explained seriously: "You are very important to me. I have told you this before. I can't possibly not want you. The reason why I didn't let you help is because I feel sorry for you and I'm afraid you'll suffer."
He spoke the most tender words of love in a serious manner.
Xiao Xixi blushed a little after hearing this.
She murmured quietly, "It doesn't matter if I suffer a little, as long as I can help you."
Luo Qinghan looked at her deeply, and his chest seemed to be filled with honey, so sweet that he was speechless.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled and spoke in a low voice.
"What should I do with you if you are like this?"
Xiao Xixi didn't understand.
Luo Qinghan said helplessly: "I asked you for help, but I was actually using you. It would be fine if you didn't feel angry, but you actually offered yourself to be used by others. If I were a little more cruel, your life would be over."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "You won't."
Luo Qinghan: "Do you trust me so much? I am not a good person."
Xiao Xixi: "I believe you."
She had said this more than once, but no matter how many times she said it, Luo Qinghan would feel as if her heart was tickled, tingling and numb, with an indescribable itch.
Luo Qinghan supported himself on the low table with one hand, leaned over, lifted her chin with the other hand, and bent down to kiss her on the lips.
Xiao Xixi was stunned. They were talking peacefully, so why did he suddenly kiss me?
Luo Qinghan's fingertips gently stroked her lips and whispered.
"Since you believe in me, you must believe in me to the end and never give up halfway."
Xiao Xixi blinked: "Yeah."
Luo Qinghan: "You don't need to think too much. Even without your help, I can handle this matter myself. You have to trust me, okay?"
Xiao Xixi: "Okay."
Luo Qinghan kissed her on the lips again: "So good."
He withdrew his hand and resumed his upright sitting posture.
Xiao Xixi placed her hands on the edge of the table, leaning forward slightly, her almond eyes flickering with curiosity: "I heard that you brought Miss Xie to the East Palace today."
When Luo Qinghan heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "Why? Are you jealous?"
Without waiting for Xiao Xixi to respond, he continued.
"I've been investigating the murder of Li Ji recently. Before his death, Li Ji went to Donglai Tower to attend a poetry gathering. I later found out that Xie Chuxue had shown up at that poetry gathering. I followed this clue and unexpectedly discovered that Xie Chuxue and Qin Wen were secretly in contact."
At the end, he did not forget to explain Qin Wen's identity.
Xiao Xixi's mouth slightly opened, revealing a look of surprise: "Could it be that she is also involved with Qin Wen?!"
This girl is really amazing!
First it was the King of England, then the Second Prince, and now Qin Wen is added.
If this trend continues, she can even form a fleet and go out to sea!
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I have already checked Qin Wen's side, but didn't find anything. I have no choice but to change direction and start with Xie Chuxue's side."
Xiao Xixi suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Then she asked curiously, "Did Miss Xie reveal any news to you?"
Speaking of this, Luo Qinghan's voice was a little cold.
"She provided a lot of clues. She said she had met Li Ji at a poetry gathering. She even said she knew why Li Ji was killed."
Xiao Xixi was surprised: "Why is she so cooperative?"
Luo Qinghan: "She is the adopted daughter of King Xiling, so naturally she hopes that we can fight harder."
Xiao Xixi: "Have you found out why Li Ji was killed?"
Luo Qinghan: "We have already got some clues. All we have to do now is throw out the bait and wait for the real culprit to take the bait."
…
After Baoqin left the room, she felt uneasy.
Yesterday she repeatedly reminded him to express his concern in a tactful and gentle way, but Concubine Xiao just went for it and hit him straight in the face.
She was very worried that Concubine Xiao would fall from grace.
When the prince was leaving, Baoqin took a special look and found that there was no dissatisfaction on the prince's face. If you look closely, you can also find that there is a faint smile in the prince's eyes, and he seems to be in a good mood.
It seems that there was no rollover.
Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.
Not long after, Mo Hua personally delivered a basket of fresh mulberries.
"These mulberries were brought back from outside the palace by the prince. He said you would like them, so he asked me to bring them to you."
When Xiao Xixi saw the delicious food, her eyes lit up.
She said hurriedly, "I like it! I like it so much!"
Yes, I want a monthly ticket~
