Is Shizi ill today?

Chapter 538 I want to hide, but can I escape?
"Where did the national teacher say this?"

Shen Qianqiao was a little innocent, blinked her eyes, and walked behind the screen.

"Why didn't you enter the palace these two days?"

Xia Houqing's voice was a little gloomy.

While tying her clothes, Shen Qianqiao said, "I don't have to go to the women's school to help anymore, so naturally I can't enter the palace either."

Xia Houqing's black eyes moved slightly, looking at the figure reflected on the screen.

"So you didn't hide from the deity on purpose?"

Shen Qianqiao put on her clothes and came out, snorted: "I want to hide, but can I escape?"

Xia Houqing looked at her with her hair loose, her face was pink and tender at this moment, matched with her coquettish voice, it didn't make people angry, but it was a little more romantic in it.

He frowned a little, "It's good that you have this self-knowledge."

Shen Qianqiao walked up to him, looked down at him, and saw that he was dressed in black, and he clearly had a face, but he was not as amazed as at that time.

On the contrary, there is a bit more daunting coldness and hostility, which makes people not want to get close.

Xia Houqing pulled her into his arms and sat down, held her hand, looked at her slender fingers, the nails were round and neatly trimmed, and they were also pretty tight.

"Why don't you talk?" He looked down at her small face, and raised his hand to stroke the hair on her face behind her ears.

"I have something to ask you," Shen Qianqiao said suddenly, staring at his chiseled silhouette.

It was rare for her to be so quiet, and she didn't resist his touch. Xia Houqing felt much better, and the corner of her lips curled up: "You ask."

Shen Qianqiao looked at him, her eyes flickered, and she said, "Have you caught the thief who stole the food?"

"I caught it and disposed of it on the spot," Xia Houqing squeezed her hand, then stroked her hair and touched her face.

"Why don't you bring them to the imperial capital and let the emperor deal with them?"

Shen Qianqiao continued to ask, and pressed his troublesome hand.

Xia Houqing glanced at her: "It's just a few little thieves, it's too troublesome to bring them back, and the left and right are just killed. The old emperor's execution or the deity's execution, there is no difference."

"It's just a few petty thieves who dare to rob the court's disaster relief food?"

Shen Qianqiao smiled lightly, there was no warmth in her eyes.

Xia Houqing naturally noticed what was wrong with her, he held her hand and put it on his lips and kissed, "Don't beat around the bush with me, if you have anything to say, I will give you an answer."

Shen Qianqiao withdrew her hand from his hand, struggled to get up, and took two steps back.

She took a deep breath, and when she calmed down, she came to sit opposite him, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and placed one cup in front of him.

She sat down, took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and then slowly said: "Such a large batch of food, just a few small thieves, how can it be transferred so quickly, even the court people can't catch up, but it happened He was caught by the national teacher and dealt with quietly."

Shen Qianqiao spoke coldly, but the light in her eyes turned cold as she uttered each word.

Xia Houqing stared at her for a while, then smiled lightly: "Go on."

"Unless it is desperate, no one would dare to rob the imperial court's grain cart, or this person thinks very highly of himself and is not afraid of the person sitting on the dragon chair."

"Are you doubting the deity?" The smile and emotions on Xia Houqing's face subsided, and he returned to an unfathomable indifference, with thick dark ink in his eyes.
