Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 43 His icy cold and her panic

When Chu Qingyan stepped into the courtyard of Yuxuan Garden, the black figure in the room came into view. The breeze entered the window and gently brushed the white gauze, giving people an illusion of elegance like mist. In this bright light, He leaned on the chair idly, with black and vertical hair, sharp black eyes slightly squinted, thin lips, and a silver mask that concealed the aloofness that was about to come out fiercely, exuding arrogance in his solitude. The arrogance of heaven and earth.

Chu Qingyan suddenly had an impulse to lift off that cold mask and see the covered face.But this thought just flashed by, and she quickly suppressed it. She didn't know about the outside rumors, the fire disfigured her face, and when Xining heard it, she knew that it was a taboo in the palace, and it was also Xiao Xu's. The bottom line that cannot be touched.

Just for a moment, Chu Qingyan felt Xiao Xu's vague gaze, and she quickly squeezed out an innocent smile, but when the other party saw it, she looked away in disgust.

Chu Qingyan coughed, and hurriedly sat down. It turned out that she had been staring at her for a long time, and people who didn't know thought she was a nymphomaniac. Chu Qingyan was a little annoyed.

As soon as I pulled out the chair and sat down, I heard the people around me lazily say, "Is there nothing to worry about now?"

Chu Qingyan knew that he was mocking her for what she did a few days ago, so she couldn't help smiling, "Thanks to His Highness's concern, Qingyan has recovered now."

Seeing Xiao Xu chuckle, neither happiness nor displeasure could be heard, Chu Qingyan wondered in her heart, this person is really unpredictable.

The food was already on the table, and compared to my morning meal, it was like heaven and earth.

Xiao Xu caught a glimpse of Chu Qingyan's eyes shining, as if seeing a little Wang who was salivating at the sight of a bone, and a faint smile that he didn't even notice flashed across his eyes.

If you have been in love, you will know how heavy it is; if you have been drunk, you will know how strong the wine is.

At this time, for Chu Qingyan, it was as if she had tasted the dishes before she knew them. Just one meal had already given her a deep understanding of Huang Yi's craftsmanship. In just a few days, her stomach had already been bought by Huang Yi.

Huang Yi was still accompanying her, and she was very happy to see that she was so engrossed in the food she made. As a cook, the most important thing is to be recognized for her food, and Miss Chu Jiu did it with her own body. To affirm her cooking skills, unlike the past few years, her prince has never shown Miss Chu Jiu such awe-inspiring enjoyment of her meals, which has always made her feel very lonely. Now that she meets Bole, she How can you be unhappy?
Chu Qingyan didn't know that Huang Yi had already included her in her range, she could barely stop talking after eating three small bowls of rice, and then she glanced regretfully at the person in front of her, not knowing that she was so big Did his appetite frighten him? If he felt that he was wasting food, would he skip her food?

Seeing her put down the bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Xu looked at him cautiously, raised his eyebrows, then brushed off his sleeves and stood up, "Go to the study."

It's ink time again.

Chu Qingyan immediately got up to follow this time, just in time she wanted to ask him something.

After the two left, Huang Yi hummed a ditty and cleaned up the table. It happened that Cheng Yi walked in, glanced at her, and said, "You're in a good mood?"

Because she was in a good mood, Huang Yi didn't care about the sarcasm in her words, nodded and said, "Every time I see Miss Chu Jiu eating the food I made, I feel a sense of satisfaction, and today the prince also ate an extra bowl I must have been influenced by Ms. Chu Jiu, this is such a fulfilling thing for me!"

Cheng Yi said disapprovingly, "This little thing makes you overjoyed, won't it be too unpromising?"

Huang Yi didn't bother to argue with her, so she said a few perfunctory words, and then took them to the bowl and chopsticks.

After Huang Yi left, Cheng Yi looked in the direction of the study, and a jealous light flashed in his eyes. How could this Chu Qingyan, He De, be qualified to eat at the same table with his master? It was like a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. Given the chance, she will definitely take good care of this toad.

The windows blocked the sinister gaze from the main courtyard, and the people inside had no idea that they were being missed.

Standing outside the house, Hongyi was slightly surprised when she saw the look in Chengyi's eyes. She stood there for a while, then turned and left, but there was a strange rippling at the corner of her mouth.

In the study room, two figures stood one by one as usual.White and black, small and big, soft and rigid, reflect each other, and they are extraordinarily harmonious.

Chu Qingyan was grinding, thinking about how to ask about the corruption rumored by the outside world, she wanted to know if he was innocent, because it was also related to her future life, she could not be blamed for the accident, but because, in In this world of the weak and the strong, she can't protect herself by herself, and as a woman, she is still an accessory of a man. If she makes a mistake, she will die without a place to bury her. She just came to this world and was reunited with her parents. I cherish this opportunity very much and don't want anyone to take it away, so the more I care about it, the more anxious I become.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't dawdle."

The cold voice came out so suddenly that Chu Qingyan's hands trembled in fright, and she almost threw the ink onto her white skirt. When she stabilized, she blushed a little. She didn't expect her thoughts to be seen through so easily. Sure enough, It's because I don't have enough experience!

In fact, Chu Qingyan was wrong. It wasn't that she couldn't hide her emotions, but that in front of a person who deliberately observed her, no matter how subtle her expression was, it was difficult to escape. What's more, the person in front of her was a marshal who controlled millions of soldiers. It only takes a little effort to observe her words and expressions, to be meticulous and to see her thoughts.

Chu Qingyan didn't think too much, so she raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her. After a short time with him, she knew that he was not a liking person who hesitated, so she didn't beat around the bush.

"I heard people say that the prince didn't go to the morning court because he had something to do with a corruption case. Is this true?"

It's true to be honest, but she didn't forget her identity at this time, and her face was ignorant and cute.

Hearing this, Xiao Xu looked up at her, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, "Are you concerned about this king, or," with a slightly sarcastic tone, "are you concerned about whether you will be implicated?"

This is the first time she saw emotions other than indifference in Xiao Xu's eyes, cold and sharp, as if she could see into the depths of a person's soul, imprisoning the soul and making her unable to move!

Chu Qingyan felt that she was frozen by the ice, and couldn't help but take a step back. Unfortunately, she forgot that there was a table behind her, and she tripped over the foot of the table when she was caught off guard. Then she couldn't support herself and fell back. She waved her hands in fear, But she knew that it was miserable, because no one would hold her back, especially the person in front of her who had been looking at her coldly.

At the moment when she resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes, she seemed to see a touch of ink entering her eyes.
