"Didn't you see it yourself?" Su Qingci said, "I gave the embroidered handkerchief to the prince."
Lu Huan heard the sharp tone in her words and suddenly understood why she was angry. "Do you think that I'm close to the Crown Prince and that I was the one who schemed against you last time?"
Su Qingci turned around and looked at him with a resentful look in her eyes, "I don't think you schemed against me last time, but I think that anyone who has close ties with the Crown Prince is not a good person!"
Lu Huan chuckled softly, and there seemed to be a hint of teasing in his laughter.
Su Qingci stared at him intently for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to explain?"
Lu Huan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and uttered a few words: "Well, no explanation."
Su Qingci's face darkened, and he quickly turned his head to the side, saying coldly, "If that's the case, then I think there's nothing more to talk about between us."
"That may not be what you wish." He blurted out these words, revealing a ruffian air that was completely different from the coldness shown last time.
However, Lu Huan still refused to give up and continued to ask, "You gave the handkerchief that was supposed to be given to me to the Crown Prince instead. How will this be settled?"
"General Lu, are you still short of a tattered handkerchief? If you really want one, tell the driver to stop right now. I'll go to the shop and buy you one."
Su Qingci was angry, but she didn't know what she was angry about. She just felt unhappy. "Oh, no, I can buy ten yuan!"
Lu Huan looked at her who was losing her temper and said helplessly, "It's not a torn handkerchief."
Su Qingci was probably confused by anger and felt that he had not heard what he said clearly, "What?"
Lu Huan's eyes darkened, and he stopped joking with her playfully. "It's not a torn handkerchief."
Su Qingci was stunned. Which handkerchief was he talking about? The one he had originally intended to give him, or the one he had originally used but later got dirty?
But having said that, he now feels that the handkerchief he used to cover the prince that day looks familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, Lu Huan noticed that the sleeve pocket where Su Qingci had placed the handkerchief was bulging, as if something was hidden.
"What's in your sleeve pocket?" he suddenly asked.
Su Qingci nervously hid his wrist and said, "Nothing."
"Nothing, why are you hiding your hand?"
"From my perspective, the shape... looks like a sachet."
He guessed, "Could it be... that he wanted to give it to me along with the handkerchief?"
Su Qingci seemed to have his secrets exposed, and said angrily, "Does everything in the world belong to General Lu?"
Lu Huan's eyes were fixed on her figure, and he said nothing more.
Every minute and every second, time passes very slowly.
The driver steered the horse skillfully. Outside the carriage, there was a bustling crowd, but the temperature inside the carriage seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
"Stop the car!" Lu Huan suddenly shouted and ordered.
Su Qingci didn't understand what was going on and thought he was going to leave her here and asked her to get out of the car and walk back by herself.
Unexpectedly, he lifted the curtain and walked down, and in less than a cup of tea, he was back in the carriage.
There was a bunch of wrapped things in his hand. Su Qingci didn't look at it for long and looked away.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after an unknown amount of time, the driver finally stopped the carriage outside the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Master, we're here."
Lu Huan threw something onto her legs. It wasn't heavy.
He said coldly, "Get out of the car."
Seeing that he didn't look at her, Su Qingci quietly left a silver ingot on the seat of the carriage.
She didn't know what Lu Huan gave her, but she didn't want to ask him what it was or why he gave it to her.
But at the same time, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor anymore, so he quietly left a silver ingot on the cushion.
This thing, the bento, was bought by her herself.
Su Qingci blurted out "Thank you" and hurriedly got off the carriage...
Before Su Qingci entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she looked back at the carriage, but she never expected that Lu Huan lifted the curtain and gently placed his hand on the window sill, looking in her direction with an ambiguous look.
The playful look in his eyes no longer existed as it did in the carriage. It was exactly the same as the day when he helped her in the East Palace. He looked cold and distant, as if he was angry.
angry?
Su Qingci felt incredible about his own idea.
I wasn't familiar with him to begin with, and even if I had offended him with a few words, we wouldn't see each other again anyway, so why should he be angry?
But I couldn't give the sachet and embroidered handkerchief to him in person.
Who made him the prince's friend?
Those who are close to the prince are not good people, Su Qingci thought secretly.
…
Su Qingci returned to her room, opened the thing Lu Huan had given her, and found that it was a bottle of medicinal wine.
She touched it lightly with her right hand through her clothes, and felt a piercing pain. Then she realized that there might be some bruises.
And when they were in the restaurant's side room, Lu Huan had been staring at her. Could it be that he noticed it at that time?
In fact, she herself didn't take this matter to heart, but she didn't expect that he remembered it.
For some reason, I suddenly felt that my attitude in the car was not very good.
Actually, if you think about it, he might be... right.
Even though he was the prince's good friend, it was he who saved her that day in the Eastern Palace, and it was Lu Huan who later led her out of the Eastern Palace.
Otherwise, based on her own words, she would just fall into the tiger's mouth again.
Su Qingci looked at the sachet in her hand, feeling a little helpless, but at the same time, she was a little conflicted.
Could it be that she misunderstood Lu Huan?
