Chapter 252 The Coward

Well you big bastard!
If eyes could kill, this guy who came here without her permission would have died thousands of times.

She covered her forehead, took a few deep breaths, and then asked impatiently, "Did you forget what else is going on here?"

He shook his head unexpectedly and sincerely: "No."

"I just want to see you."

"..."

She couldn't help looking over suspiciously, "Are you really Xiao Chen? You can't be fake, or Qiao Ran's fake?"

After hearing her words, Xiao Chen's face turned black visibly to the naked eye.

They really hurt each other.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, he just took a deep breath and said, "Are you planning to settle the matter of Ge Nanyi and leave the capital?"

After all, the two of them have experienced too much together, and they can guess each other's thoughts without saying much.

Shen Ruo was originally looking into his eyes, but upon hearing the question, she subconsciously looked away and fell silent for a while.

"Then can you wait for me? I will leave Beijing with you when the crown prince ascends the throne."

"Huh?" Even Shen Ruo couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

"Or, it's better for you to leave first, lest someone threaten me with you, I will come to you after I finish my work."

Now, Shen Ruo finally recovered from the shock, but her heart was still beating so fast that even Xiao Chen who was opposite could feel it.

"You..." She took a deep breath, "Are you sure?"

"Based on your relationship with the crown prince, you helped him win the throne. In the future, you will be under one person and above ten thousand people. You have everything you need, such as rights, wealth, and beauties. Can you give up all of these?"

Xiao Chen smiled softly, he was originally very good-looking, but after being together for a long time these days, when he saw him again, he was no longer as amazed as when he first saw him.

But when he smiled, he was unexpectedly stunning. He was different from Jiang Yunya's cold and fairy-like beauty. He was the god of war, and he was beautiful. Dare to look twice.

But when he smiled, the evil spirit and chill disappeared, and there was a kind of shocking beauty of the iceberg falling and the bright moon rushing towards you.

Shen Ruo's heart moved slightly, but she restrained herself and left her sight.

At this time, he smiled and said leisurely: "It seems that you still don't know big brother well, and you don't know me well either."

"We need to spend more time together."

Shen Ruodeng glared at him immediately, the bullshit sensation just now must have been a hallucination.

He didn't intend to explain what he said just now. He stood up slowly and walked in front of her: "Anyway, give me a chance. Don't avoid me, don't avoid me, okay?"

She was silent for a moment, and then again.

Suddenly, she raised her head, just when Xiao Chen thought he had moved her, she smiled brightly: "Not good!"

Taking advantage of Xiao Chen's daze, she dragged him to the window, pushed him down suddenly, and shouted coldly: "If you dare to sneak into my room again, I will report to the police!"

Fortunately, this is the second floor. With Xiao Chen's skill, he didn't lose a few parts. Then he heard Shen Ruo's threatening voice: "..."

Whenever he thought he knew her enough, she always gave him a new reaction.

What a grinding goblin (gritting teeth)
In this room, Zhu Yan and the others who heard the commotion rushed upstairs and knocked on her door: "Sister Qiao, are you alright?"

Then she slowly opened the door: "I'm just a thief, what can I do? It's alright, alright, go to bed quickly, I have to get up early tomorrow."

With that said, she closed the door again involuntarily.

After everyone outside the door left, she sighed again, and muttered in her mouth, "I never thought that after living for more than 20 years, I realized that I'm still a coward."

……

The next day, before dawn, Xiao Chen came to pick up people in a carriage. After all, the morning courts of the Xiao Kingdom always started on time at Maoshi, and the current emperor was considered diligent, and he never came late or left early.

"You will wait for me in the recuperation hall for a while. After the court, I will take you to Yu'an Palace together."

"If you're bored waiting, ask the eunuch to bring you some snacks or idle books. These days, there is no major event in court, and I should come to you soon."

Listening to his constant exhortations, Shen Ruo was a little amused: "It's not the first time to go to the palace, what is there to worry about?"

"But your status is different now."

In the past, she was Princess Jing, and anyone who saw her had to respect her, even high-ranking officials or concubines in the palace, at least for his sake, they would not dare to have any conflicts with her.

But now, she is just a commoner who was brought into the palace by King Jing, with no power and power, even if she is crushed to death, she doesn't think that King Jing will be angry because of her, which is precisely the most dangerous thing.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. If something happens, don't I still have these two legs?"

Seeing her indifferent appearance, Xiao Chen wanted to say something more, but had to give up.

Of course it's not that I don't trust her, but when I think about someone, I can't help worrying about her safety, wanting to get rid of all dangers and protect her well.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, regretting leaving Fengxi in Huainan City.

But no matter how worried he was, the palace still arrived, and he brought him to the recuperation hall. It was getting late, so he hurried to the court.

Shen Ruo took advantage of this time to look at the progress of the medicine production in the space. When people are busy, time always passes quickly.

And none of the things that Xiao Chen was worried about happened. When he came over, he saw her closing her eyes and resting her mind, sitting in a chair.

He couldn't help but lighten his steps, and was about to get closer, but Shen Ruo opened his eyes, she was not asleep.

She glanced at the little eunuch who was following behind him with his head bowed, holding the imperial decree in both hands, and said with a smile, "You should have received a lot of rewards this time, right?"

But he cared more about her than the money: "I woke you up, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

But she stood up directly: "No, let's go, let's finish it earlier."

She was familiar with the road and walked towards Yu'an Palace without Xiao Chen leading the way.

It's just that as soon as I left the palace gate, I bumped into someone I didn't want to see at a fork in the road.

Pei Zhizhou was still dressed in plain and elegant green clothes, as elegant and refined as a graceful lotus flower, with a food box in his hand, with a slight surprise on his face, he blessed his body: "Good day, King Jing."

Shen Ruo took a step back and asked in a low voice, "Come to look for you? Do you want me to avoid it?"

Didn't he say that the palace is dangerous? It's time for him to take the lead.

Xiao Chen glanced at her, obviously very dissatisfied with her way of being a dead fellow but not a poor one, but Pei Zhizhou on the opposite side smiled and said: "Miss Qiao, don't worry, Zhizhou didn't come here for the prince this time."

Do you believe it?Anyway, she didn't believe it.

It was just her next sentence that broke Shen Ruo's suspicion: "After all, Zhizhou is also a married person now, so don't get too close to others, so as not to cause gossip."
