Chapter 73 (2/2)
“Ei?” Jing Yue was dumbfounded. She lifted her gaze to stare at Xiao Chen’s cold, expressionless face. A thread of peculiar feeling suddenly flashed in her heart. It just seemed like in this life, the originally restless heart of hers suddenly found a haven it could rely on.
It was obviously nothing but simple words.
But they were indulging her.
Why?
Jing Yue stared at Xiao Chen in confusion. She didn’t understand why Xiao Chen would treat herself so differently. They obviously hadn’t known each other for a long time. Jing Yue had never believed the so-called love at first sight, she also wouldn’t be so narcissistic to believe that the high above Xiao Chen would suddenly fall for her, to this wild teenage girl.
“Xiao Chen, let’s go and find the Consort G.o.ddess.” Jing Yue suddenly said. Xiao Chen who had just taken a step out of the Punishment Hall halted his footsteps. He frowned and confusedly stared at Jing Yue as if he was inquiring why.
“Although you don’t think I’ve gotten you into trouble, but I still feel uncomfortable if the matter isn’t made clear. Let’s go find Consort G.o.ddess, ok?” Jing Yue lifted her gaze staring at Xiao Chen while saying so.
“En.” Xiao Chen took a glance at Jing Yue’s face. Confirming that Jing Yue voluntarily wanted to go and not because of any other reasons, he agreed and carried Jing Yue onto a palanquin, going towards the Palace of Bright Zither. Throughout the whole journey, Xiao Chen held Jing Yue in his embrace, never putting her down.
Jing Yue also didn’t pull her hands back, she kept hugging Xiao Chen’s neck and stayed that way during the whole journey towards the Palace of Bright Zither.
When they arrived at the Palace of Bright Zither, they found that a crowd had gathered inside, the Emperor, the Empress, and every respected consort were there. Jing Yue and Xiao Chen’s arrival didn’t create too much of a surprise. It seemed, someone had already notified them when Xiao Chen took Jing Yue out of the Punishment Hall.
“Xiao Chen, you better give me an explanation.’ The Emperor was clearly very angry.
Jing Yue, with her embarra.s.sed and messy appearance, stood just like that in front of everyone. Everyone’s gaze fell on her body, looking at her up and down.
