Chapter 153 (2/2)
Xie Yingmei nodded shyly, her mouth not loose, but the corners of her eyes were secretly looking at him.
”When you arrive in the state of Qi, you will be able to eat better things,” Chu Zongge looked at her with bright eyes. ”Are you still having nightmares recently?”
Xie Yingmei was afraid that she couldn't catch up with him. She quickly said, ”it's gone. As long as I leave that place, I'm not afraid.”
Chu Zongge put his heart down. This is an acquaintance of Xue ronghua. He still needs to settle down. ”It's best not to be afraid. When you enter the palace and see the imperial doctor, you'll almost be well.”
”In fact, I also want to thank Duanwang,” Xie Yingmei hid in the dark for fear that he would see his nervous and shy expression, ”it was Duanwang who helped me leave there.”
Chu Zongge was stunned and immediately gave her a smile, ”I'm just a soldier to protect you. It's all the credit of the princess. General Xie entrusted you to the princess.”
”It's the princess...” Xie Yingmei turned her eyes. ”I heard the princess say that the prospective princess will go into the palace with her, is that right?”
Chu Zongge nodded and said, ”the prospective princess is the female official around the princess. It is also necessary to accompany the princess into the palace.”
Xie Yingmei asked eagerly, ”what about you? Will you accompany the princess to be?”
”Me?” Chu Zongge was surprised at her question. ”I haven't decided what to do.”
Xie Yingmei bit her lip and whispered, ”why don't you stay in Qi for a few days.”
Chu Zongge asked with great interest, ”do you want me to stay in Qi?”
Xie Yingmei's cheeks were red with his bad smile. She nodded hard.
”Why?”
”Because...” Xie Yingmei seems to hide a deer in her chest, ”because Duanwang can protect us.”
Chu Zongge laughed and touched her head. ”When you arrive at the palace of the state of Qi, are you afraid that no one else will protect you?”
Xie Yingmei trembled slightly because of his touch. She tried her best to restrain her body reaction, but she still fell into his eyes.
It was dark and quiet all around. Only insects and birds could be heard. Xue ronghua turned over several times in the tent. His heart seemed to be blocked by something. He couldn't sleep.
The startled Zhuoer looked at her and asked softly, ”what's the matter with you, miss? Can't you sleep?”
Xue ronghua smiled apologetically and said, ”I turned over to disturb you.”
”Miss,” chua'er rubbed her bleary eyes, ”can't you sleep because of Xie Yingmei?”
Xue ronghua was stunned and looked at her inexplicably. ”What happened to Xie Yingmei?”
”Xie Yingmei is having roast fish with Duan Wang tonight. They are talking and laughing,” chui'er grumbled reluctantly. ”Xie Yingmei doesn't know that the young lady is a princess to be. Why do she deliberately approach Duan Wang through madness.”
Xue ronghua thought for a moment. She didn't know what happened today. She shrugged casually. ”It's just a roast fish with Duanwang. It doesn't matter. It may be that people are hungry and smell the fragrance. Don't think too bad about people.”
”But don't you think that Xie Yingmei is very strange,” chui'er pouted wrongly. ”She was ill for a while. She had nightmares a few days ago. Now she is quiet. I don't know whether her madness is true or false.”
Xue ronghua thought of the cause of her madness, and his eyebrows also showed some sadness. ”She really has madness, and the source of the disease left her a deep injury. Haven't you promised general Xie to cure his daughter's disease? We should take good care of others, and you'll be guessed.”
Zhui'er gritted her teeth discontentedly and said, ”if you are crazy, you should stay in a daze. Why should you get close to Duanwang? Miss, you don't know the way she looks at Duanwang... Oh, you should come back after you marry Duanwang.”
Xue ronghua quickly blocked her mouth. ”Don't say it. I couldn't sleep at first. Now I can't sleep even more when you keep talking.”
Diaoer angrily closed his mouth and asked in a low voice, ”what's the reason why miss can't sleep?”
Xue ronghua sighed for no reason. ”I don't know. Whenever something big comes, I can't sleep.”
Zhui'er blinked and said with a smile, ”it's Princess Poyang who is going to get married, but it's the princess who can't sleep well. Miss, do you think the princess can sleep in the tent tonight?”
”Princess?” Xue ronghua gently pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile of unknown meaning. ”I see that the princess can't sleep when she comes out of the state of Qin, and can sleep soundly when she comes out of the state of Qi.”
The pendant turned over and opened her eyes. ”Why, does the princess want to be the concubine of the emperor of Qi?”
Xue ronghua asked, ”if it were you, would you marry to the state of Qi as a concubine?”
The pendant son showed a panic expression and quickly shook his head, ”I certainly don't want to.”
Xue ronghua didn't expect her to refuse so soon. He said curiously, ”don't you want to be a palace princess? It's something you don't worry about food and clothing all your life.”
”Although the concubine can wear beautiful clothes and eat delicacies every day, I still don't want to,” pendant looked at her sadly, ”I stayed with the young lady since I was a child. I watched my wife and aunt intrigue all day. I smiled on the face and a knife behind my back. I was really uncomfortable. Instead of trying to calculate others or being calculated, I might as well be a little slave.”
Xue ronghua nodded with appreciation. ”You see very much,” she paused. Her thoughts floated to the distance, as if she had smelled the bloody smell in the palace of Qi. ”I don't want to be a concubine in the palace and imprison myself in a beautiful but dangerous palace.”
