Chapter 163: Together in a Room (1/2)

Bai Luochu was thinking to herself. Old fox! First, you interrogated me, and I was smart enough to avoid revealing my identity! You must be dreaming if you want me to praise you! Bullsh*t!

A scheme popped up in Bai Luochu’s mind. Haha, you want me to jump into the pit that you have dug. Do you think it is that easy? Today, I shall let you camp in your pit. I’ll show you what is called being too smart for your own good!

Bai Luochu threw the old bandages away before turning back to Pei Qingfeng.

“Your Second Highness has the looks of a celestial being and is an outstanding individual. You captivated the ladies in the capital and you’re a man with unmatched culture. But…”

Pei Qingfeng enjoyed listening to Bai Luochu and there was a brilliant smile on his face. When he heard Bai Luochu saying ‘but’, he didn’t hesitate and spoke to Bai Luochu, “There is no need to hesitate. You can say anything you want.”

Bai Luochu’s eyes suddenly lit up. If one were to look closely, one could see the sinister glint in her eyes.

“But my energy is limited. Back then, I was only concerned about investigating Lu Wenshu and didn’t have spare energy to understand more about Your Second Highness. Hence, my understanding of Your Second Highness is limited… your only flaw is your crippled legs. Back then, I felt a pain in my heart when I discovered such a flaw.”

When the words left Bai Luochu’s mouth, a crack seemed to form on Pei Qingfeng’s face.

If Pei Qingfeng’s hand could actually move, he would slap himself several times. Why did he have to ask her that question? It was fine if Bai Luochu didn’t open her mouth, once she did, her words were like a sharpened knife stabbing deep into his heart. She wasn’t going to stop until she opened a deep wound. Pei Qingfeng felt as though his wound was about to reopen.

Bai Luochu looked at Pei Qingfeng and noticed that his expression was like a pallet knocked over by an imperial artist. The bright colors on his face was a pleasant sight. However, Bai Luochu remembered that he was her patient and if his wound reopened because of her, she would be a sinner.

Bai Luochu immediately spoke up, “However, these are mere rumors. Everyone says that the Second Prince is ruined because of his legs, but I know that Your Second Highness is doing this in order to distance yourself from the imperial court. After so long, Your Second Highness never justified yourself. You can be considered a role model among the young men in Cloud Water Nation.”

Pei Qingfeng was looking better after Bai Luochu’s comments. He was able to accept anyone else calling him a cripple other than Bai Luochu. It was like getting stabbed by someone he loved. Pei Qingfeng looked at her with a burning gaze as though she was his long lost lover.

Bai Luochu felt Pei Qingfeng’s burning gaze and she raised her head. Their eyes met and sparks flew.

The temperature in the room had rapidly increased but Pei Qingfeng didn’t plan to look away. All of a sudden, knocks came from the door.
