Chapter 122: Playing for the Deaf (3) (2/2)
How could Chu Lian possibly be able to critique that player’s music skills? She coughed and tried to go along with what Royal Princess Duanjia had said. “It was not bad.”
Royal Princess Duanjia gaped a little. She had been deceived by Chu Lian’s culinary skills before, so she thought that Chu Lian must have hidden her skills in other areas too. However, that wonderful playing had only earned a ‘not bad’ from Chu Lian!? The stubborn princess inwardly decided that she had to play a song for Chu Lian the next time they met.
Chu Lian didn’t know that her casual comment had inspired Royal Princess Duanjia to play for her. If she had known, she would have rather spoken the truth.
Then she wouldn’t have to suffer through Royal Princess Duanjia’s playing day after day.
The two of them were chatting casually when Royal Princess Duanjia suddenly frowned. Her expression contorted.
Chu Lian sensed the change and suffered a fright. She quickly asked, “Royal Princess, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?”
When questioned, Royal Princess Duanjia flushed red and hurriedly replied, “Chu Liu, wait here for me. I’m going to the ladies’.”
Seeing Royal Princess Duanjia seemingly trying to hold back something with difficulty, Chu Lian nodded in quick succession and let her go.
Once Royal Princess Duanjia left, only Chu Lian and Xiyan were left in the room, while Wenlan was standing guard outside.
Wenlan was standing ramrod straight outside the room, but her expression suddenly changed. She hadn’t had the time to react when a burst of pain struck the back of her neck and she lost consciousness in the next second, collapsing bonelessly against the wall.
Xiao Bojian shot a look at the guard next to him, and One quickly hid into the shadows.
Xiao Bojian stared at the beautiful silhouette he could see from behind the screen at the entrance of the room, and his heart beat faster. The hand gripping his dagger under his sleeve tightened before he strode forward and passed through the screen.
