C42 (2/2)

When the two of them returned to Hall of Announcements, Lin Yaoniao became even more crazy. They insisted on bringing Luo Yi to play games with her, but compared to the game itself, teasing Lin Yaoniao was much more interesting.

She put her hands behind her back and was about to look back when she saw the man at the entrance.

The smile on his face immediately disappeared.

She had always been on guard against this person. After last night's incident, she was even more unwilling to interact much with him, and while cursing in her heart, she took two steps back due to her insensible behavior. At the same time, she put on an impeccably fake smile: ”For a small matter like this, it's enough for the people below to make a trip, why would they need to personally make a trip from the Lord Mu … Qing Luo. ”

As he spoke, he called for the palace maid to send him off without even giving him time to speak.

The caution in her eyes was too obvious, it was as if she was looking at a poisonous snake. Mu Yizhou's heart suddenly tightened, but he had no way of returning to the words she had personally said yesterday.

”The Empress is too courteous.”

Mu Yizhou was sensible, and knew that she didn't want to see him, so he simply stayed where he was, and waited for Qing Luo to go up and receive the bowl before bowing his head and bidding his farewell.

Lin Yaoniao was standing behind her, and she was the clearest to the series of subconscious reactions she had. After pausing for a moment, she carefully grabbed her hand and shook it: ”Elder sister …”

”Hmm?” Luo Yi turned her head, seeing the worry on her face, and smiled as he held her hand tightly: ”Shall we continue?”

Lin Yaoniao looked at her for a long time, then crooked her head and smiled sweetly: ”Mn.”

In the end, she was still a child, so everything that was hidden in her heart was written on her face. She even naively thought that she was hiding it well, but she didn't know that Luo Yi had already noticed that she was looking at him.

Luo Yi sighed, seeing that she was not happy, she decided to stop, and patted her head, wanting to ask her something.

Lin Yaoniao was flabbergasted. ”How did big sister know?”

You just wanted to write those words out and put them on your head, okay? Luo Yi ridiculed in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on the surface. With an patience that surprised even herself, she said, ”I guessed it …”

She lightly flicked Lin Yaoniao's forehead, causing him to laugh out loud while holding onto her forehead: ”Elder sister, why are you afraid of that person?”

She had seen that person before, always following by the side of the emperor. Although wearing a mask felt very frightening, the emperor had said that he wasn't a bad person, so …

”Why is elder sister scared?”

She was too young, and her voice was soft and childish. There was no hidden meaning in her words, just that she was simply concerned about her, and that her imagination was plentiful. Her small hands were clenched tightly, and her mouth was pursed into a line, ready to comfort her elder sister at any time.

Luo Yi, however, was stunned for quite a while after hearing her words.

Originally … Do I look like I'm afraid of him?

The sudden self-knowledge made Luo Yi a little muddle-headed, as if she had been mute for a long time. Who knew that this would scare Lin Yaoniao, and she called out to her a few more times with reddened eyes, ”I won't ask, big sis, don't think about it anymore …”

She thought that Luo Yi was only so abnormal because she had thought of something bad.

Luo Yi suddenly came back to her senses and smiled at her. Coincidentally, Chen Liyi walked over proudly, and only when he was near enough that he could see the expression on his face did she raise her head towards Luo Yi, and silently quicken his pace.

Luo Yi took the opportunity to change the topic, and asked Chen Liyi who had already walked in front of her: ”Why are you back so early today?”

”Your concubine greets the crown prince.”

Lin Yaoniao bowed politely.

Chen Liyi did not bother with her, and signaled his with his eyes for his to help Lin Yaoniao up.

”Tutor Liang is sick,” Chen Liyi said with a hint of schadenfreude: ”So you don't have to worry about me!”

”Is he sick?” Is it serious? ” Luo Yi frowned: ”Although Tutor Liang is old, but I heard that he has always been in good health, how could he suddenly be sick? Could it be that you intentionally made it up to fool me? ”

”I didn't!” Chen Liyi huffed and pulled Hong Xiang who was beside him: ”If you don't believe me, you can ask her!”

In reply to the Empress, the Tutor Liang is indeed ill. I am not clear about the illness, but I should not be clear about it as well. When the time comes, he still has the energy to give the crown prince a mission.

”Who asked you to talk about this!”

When Chen Liyi heard the words ”assigned a mission”, he became anxious and shouted twice. He wanted to stop Hong Xiang from speaking any further, but it was a pity that he did not.

His movements were not faster than Hong Xiang, and his voice was not any louder than hers, thus in the end, all of the words still fell into Luo Yi's ears.

Luo Yi looked at Chen Liyi's fuming face and laughed: ”Then I cannot disappoint my Tutor Liang's expectations.”

”...” ”Humph!” Chen Liyi glared at her, and turned his head to the side.

Luo Yi laughed and turned her head to ask Lin Yaoniao if there was anything she liked to eat. ”I'll have the people from the kitchen cook it for you.”

She did not expect Lin Yaoniao to reject her offer, to think that the other party would actually shake her head, and her voice was even lower than before. ”No, big sister …”

She sneakily glanced at Chen Liyi, as if she wanted to say something to Luo Yi, but when she remembered how the two of them were being so intimate, she swallowed her words back and only said, ”I'll come and play with big sister next time.”

After saying that, without waiting for Luo Yi's reply, she called for her palace maid and ran, leaving Luo Yi alone at a loss.
