Chapter 35 Princess, I am your husband
Chu Yangyang turned around, facing Xiao Renyu's resentful gaze, and took two steps forward. "When Sister Renyu pushed me on the pavilion steps just now, did she really want to sever our relationship?"
The tassels on Xiao Renyu's round fan trembled violently. He took a deep breath, revealing a face half-full of tears. His voice ended with a perfect tremor, like a bird wet by the spring rain. "My princess, your words are heartbreaking. When did I ever push you? I didn't even go up the Nine-Curve Bridge just now..."
"Really?"
Chu Yangyang suddenly reached out to help her straighten the crooked jade hairpin, her fingertips brushing against her cold earlobe. "How did your pearl earring end up in the crack of the third stone step?"
She clearly saw the other man's pupils suddenly shrink, but he still smiled gently, "Maybe it was the strong wind this morning that pulled your pearl earrings off your ears, and what a coincidence, they were blown onto the Nine-Curve Bridge."
The copper buckle of Luo Xifeng's medicine box made a slight clicking sound, and he was fiddling with the jade ring with his eyes lowered.
Xiao Renyu glanced at Luo Xifeng with the side of his eyes, and the sound of swallowing in his throat was clearly audible.
No matter what, I can't admit it in front of Brother Xifeng.
She said, "Maybe it's just such a coincidence."
"Sister Renyu, I wanted to cover up for you."
Chu Yangyang stepped forward and took Xiao Renyu's sweaty hand. "That's why when the Queen asked me questions, I didn't even mention a piece of your clothes."
Her voice was as light as falling flowers. "I truly regard you as a friend. How can you believe it?"
Xiao Renyu sneered and lowered his voice, "My Princess, what you said is strange. Would a true friend stab you in the back again and again?"
Well, Chu Yangyang was also a little speechless. Every time she wanted to match Luo Xifeng and Xiao Renyu, she was always disturbed by an accident.
It's no wonder that Xiao Renyu doesn't trust her.
Chu Yangyang sighed softly and held Xiao Renyu's hand tighter. "I think it's my fault that Sister Renyu misunderstood me."
Xiao Renyu didn't expect Chu Yangyang to be so reasonable. Not only did he not blame her, he also stopped the crime.
She looked at Luo Xifeng hesitantly, only to see that he was also staring at Chu Yangyang in a daze.
Chu Yangyang sensed their gazes and tactfully said, "Sister Renyu must have something to say to Lord Luo. I heard that the Queen's spring pastries are exquisite. I'll go get some for you two to try."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and left silently, leaving Luo Xifeng and Xiao Renyu behind.
Xiao Renyu stared at Luo Xifeng anxiously, his voice struggling as he spoke, "My Lord, do you know that some flowers may appear beautiful, but are actually sinister? For example, the fragrance of peony is mixed with the smell of blood. Is it because the roots are originally soaked in poison?"
Luo Xifeng looked at her coldly, "Miss Xiao, just say whatever you want to say."
"I once had a strange dream." She dug her nails into the gilded fan bones, a layer of sweat on her face. "The princess in my dream was just like the peony in spring."
At this moment, the crisp sound of Chu Yangyang chatting and laughing with the palace maids came from a distance. She was so startled that she suddenly grabbed Luo Xifeng's sleeve and said, "Brother Xifeng, she will kill you!"
Luo Xifeng calmly brushed her hand away, took two steps back, and stood upright, "Miss Xiao, please respect yourself."
Xiao Renyu knew he didn't believe her, so he took another step forward anxiously, "Brother Xifeng, you have to believe me. She was the one who caused me to die without a burial place. She didn't have good intentions. The kindness you see in her now is all fake."
Luo Xifeng's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
He recalled the abuse Chu Yangyang had inflicted on him three months ago, and recalled how she had threatened to castrate him half a month ago.
All the past events came flooding back again.
Xiao Renyu reminded him that he should remember that Chu Yangyang was a vicious and sinister person. Even if she had changed now, it was just a show.
Perhaps, Chu Yangyang has other more sinister conspiracies.
He must use her blood to detoxify himself as soon as possible, and once he finds out the truth about the Luo family, he will kill her without hesitation.
Otherwise, there will only be more trouble.
After thinking it through, Luo Xifeng nodded politely and said, "Thank you Miss Xiao for your reminder. I will be more vigilant."
Seeing that Luo Xifeng had taken her words to heart, Xiao Renyu was relieved. "Brother Xifeng, if you have any questions, you can come and discuss them with me. I will do my best to help you."
Luo Xifeng did not answer, but just picked up the medicine box and left.
Although Chu Yangyang was standing far away, she was still somewhat concerned about the conversation between Luo Xifeng and Xiao Renyu.
They didn't know what they were talking about, but soon they saw Luo Xifeng walking towards her.
Seeing Luo Xifeng coming over, she was about to go up to him and talk, but he didn't stop for a second and brushed past her sideways, as if she was a Taihu stone that could be seen everywhere in the imperial garden.
"Lord Luo..."
Chu Yangyang lifted her skirt and chased after him, and only then did Luo Xifeng slow down his pace.
"Lord Luo, how was your conversation with Sister Renyu? Does she mind you being poisoned?"
The tense lines of Luo Xifeng's jaw were like a tempered blade, and his eyes were always fixed on the eaves in the distance.
Chu Yangyang gasped and stopped in front of him, asking persistently, "Luo Xifeng, tell me quickly, if you don't tell me, how can I help you later?"
She was extremely anxious. There was no emotional development between the man and woman, so how could the main plot be advanced?
She had to persuade Luo Xifeng to let go of his worries.
Luo Xifeng suddenly stopped, and Chu Yangyang also braked urgently, but her balance was unstable for a moment and she fell forward.
Luo Xifeng reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back, his tone somewhat helpless, "Princess, I've already said that you don't need to make your own decision on this matter."
Chu Yangyang stood still, facing Luo Xifeng, and said earnestly, "Lord Luo, it seems you have misunderstood Sister Renyu. She is not a bad-hearted person who deliberately pushed me, but it is my own fault. Do you understand?"
"I deserved to be pushed. Sister Renyu is just giving you a taste of your own medicine. She is a righteous person and deserves to be loved."
Luo Xifeng looked at her coldly, then suddenly stepped forward, the scent of medicine filling her nose.
He brushed his index finger against her ear, and the arc of his thin lips was like a wound cut by a scalpel. "Princess, I am your husband. Do you really want me and Miss Xiao to have anything?"
Chu Yangyang was startled and instinctively took a half step back, away from this moody King of Hell.
To put it bluntly, he didn't believe her sincerity at all.
Chu Yangyang was in tears. The heroine didn't believe her, and the hero didn't believe her even more.
How can she advance the plot of the original book?
Without waiting for her answer, he snorted coldly and continued walking forward.
Chu Yangyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with him.
I don't know how long they walked, but suddenly from deep inside the rockery of the Imperial Garden came a woman's coquettish voice...
