Chapter 17: The Humble Maid in the Prince's Mansion (17)

Chu Xiaohe hugged Tang Yu and turned away. An Yi waved his hand to call the secret guards hiding in the dark to carry out Chu Xiaohe's orders.

But there was shock in his eyes.

After following the prince for many years, they thought they understood his highness.

Even when His Highness announced to the public that he and Tang Mingzhu would be together for the rest of their lives, they were not so shocked.

Because they knew that it was just a casual remark by His Highness.

The liking for someone does not exceed five points, and they are a "lifelong couple" who can give up anything for the sake of the government.

They saw it sincerely, but His Highness might also be longing for affection.

Occasionally indulge.

He also deceived himself into thinking that he liked Tang Mingzhu. He and Wu Dequan had followed His Highness since childhood, so naturally they knew each other.

It's just that His Highness is bored and playing with the so-called feelings that others are interested in.

But what happened today.

But it surprised him.

Logically speaking, if it were the same as in the past, the most severe punishment that His Highness would impose on the daughter of Duke Zhao would be a slap in the face.

But I never thought of killing him directly.

He was also to be taken to the Duke of Zhao as a warning.

Duke Zhao is very old, and I wonder if a man in his eighties can withstand such a shock.

An Yi Yi asked the other secret guards to carry the corpse and told them what to do.

While his mind was racing as he watched His Highness walking further and further away, he could not see the woman's figure from behind.

Completely blocked by the man.

An thought came to his mind that Zhao Fang'er had once provoked the Crown Princess and even whipped her with a whip.

The prince was furious, but he only punished Zhao Fang'er by confining her to her house for half a year and forbidding her to enter the palace in the future.

Tang Yu was held in Chu Xiaohe's arms, feeling uneasy.

This was not in line with her plan. Now was not a good time to expose herself. She wanted to give Tang Mingzhu a fatal blow when she was most vulnerable, most hopeful and happiest.

It's just a minor fight now.

She was a little anxious, and raised her head from the man's arms and took a quick look, only to see the man's cold and hard face and superior jawline.

Well, perfect lines and full of masculine hormones.

Very handsome and extraordinary.

But why is there a hint of coldness and anger on his face?

She doesn't quite understand.

As we were about to walk out of this remote path, we saw guards patrolling outside.

Chu Xiaohe was already the center of everyone's attention. If she carried her out, her plan would be ruined.

All the humiliation and hardship endured for so long was in vain.

Tang Yu didn't have time to think about why Chu Xiaohe was angry, he just thought that the prince was upset about work.

Struggling in Chu Xiaohe's arms.

"Your Highness, let this slave go...ah!"

As soon as the slave girl opened her mouth, her body was thrown up and landed steadily back into the man's arms.

Tang Yu was still in shock from the feeling of weightlessness. He looked up in panic, not understanding why Chu Xiaohe was like this.

Although she didn't feel any pain, she was indeed frightened.

Chu Xiaohe stopped where he was.

There were thick bushes all around, and the grass in July was deep and thick.

He finally lowered his head and glanced at her, his eyes complicated, and then helpless and helpless.

"Yu'er, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me in the future. You are not a slave. I have said that as long as you want, you can be a concubine or a crown princess."

Tang Yu came back to his senses in a daze, staring at the man from top to bottom in his arms.

He has a high nose bridge and sharp facial features, as if God had meticulously carved him and carefully placed him in this world, and he is full of good fortune.

But what contradicts this is that he is full of arrogance, even though he usually pretends to be kind and humble.

He still has the murderous intent in his bones that comes from years of experience on the battlefield.

It's really oppressive.

Tang Yu finally came to his senses. Was he angry because of the name?

She replied with a smile, her voice soft and tender, "Slave, ah no, Yu'er knows, I won't do it again, if you call me wrong again, just let your highness punish you, okay."

The coldness between Chu Xiaohe's brows disappeared completely.

I am actually interested in this "allowing punishment".

He raised his eyebrows, "Are you really going to let me punish you?" It was clearly a serious punishment, but the man's evil smile and prolonged tone always gave people a weird feeling. Tang Yu felt like he was teased by what he said.

The little face looks resentful.

Chu Xiaohe shifted his gaze and looked at her badly beaten face, with the red and swollen slap marks clearly visible.

Such a bright and lively little face really makes people feel pity.

He lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against hers, his voice low and magnetic, "I promise that I will not let you be bullied in the future. You trust me."

Tang Yu looked touched and surprised and nodded repeatedly.

In fact, there was no ripple in my heart.

Didn’t she suffer enough bullying in her previous life?
This bit of bullying is worth it as long as it achieves the goal.

Seeing that Chu Xiaohe's complexion had improved, Tang Yu finally opened his mouth and began to formulate his words.

She said tentatively, "Your Highness, please put me down. I don't want the Crown Princess to know. You know, even if we are not master and servant, we are still sisters. In my heart, I always..."

"I always feel guilty and sorry."

"Your Highness, you will understand me, right?"

Chu Xiaohe narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Yu with a complicated expression.

Not a word.

The atmosphere that had finally eased became cold again.

Chu Xiaohe looked at Tang Yu inexplicably in the end, and even gave her a feeling of being seen through.

All her schemes, all her plans and thoughts seemed to be exposed.

Just when Tang Yu thought it was impossible.

Chu Xiaohe slowly put her down.

She was overjoyed, having won the bet.

After being put down, Tang Yu almost fell to the ground.

She was really seeing stars after being slapped just now. She didn't know how a young lady who stayed at home all day could have so much strength.

Her head is still dizzy.

Tang Yu was embraced by Chu Xiaohe.

I knew that I had unknowingly made Chu Xiaohe angry twice.

This time she leaned obediently on the man's chest, and the intact half of her face rubbed slightly against his full and firm chest muscles.

It feels very good to touch.

Chu Xiaohe groaned.

But he didn't dodge or move, he just held her tighter.

Tang Yu began to coax him.

"Your Highness, you are so kind to me. If you hadn't arrived in time today, I would have been beaten to death by them. At that time, I looked at you as if I saw a god. I am very happy that Your Highness protected me."

"Also, I remember all the kindness Your Highness has shown me. I just didn't dare to take a brave step and kept Your Highness waiting for a long time. Your Highness is surprisingly so patient."

"Since my mother passed away, no one has been so kind to Yu'er. Your Highness is the first one."

She raised her head and placed her chin on the man's chest, staring at his jawline and Adam's apple.

The voice was choked.

"I always remember your kindness in my heart. Although I don't know why I made you angry today, it must be Yu'er's fault."

Originally, Chu Xiaohe thought that she was hiding something from him and was feeling depressed.

How could he not know that she deliberately didn't want Tang Mingzhu to know, and was just using him for revenge.

But he admitted that it was his fault for being blind and marrying someone early.

Then he fell in love with this heartless girl.

He accepts.

But today he also heard that this girl wanted to use him to punish or kill those people.

He was angry.

This girl doesn't believe him. As long as she says it, he will do it. There is no need to test him.

But now, hearing her acting so silly, he started to draw a few big round cakes for her.

Chu Xiaohe's arrogance completely dissipated.

What can I do if I like it?

He raised his head and tapped the tip of the heartless little girl's nose. It was a little hard but it didn't hurt.

"Okay, I will coax you with sweet words. I will obey you. You can go back by yourself, but first go to my tent and let the imperial physician apply medicine to you. I will explain to the Crown Princess, she won't know, don't worry."
