Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 161 Elopement
It was late at night, and a slender figure was wandering in the backyard of Wutong Garden.In the darkness, the man was pacing with his hands behind his back, as if hesitating about something.Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he walked straight to the door beside him.

"Who?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Zijiang, who was about to go to bed, had to get up from the bed.

"Meow..." Seeing Chu Yue standing outside the door, Xiao Bai quickly went up to him, happily circling around his feet.

But Lin Zijiang subconsciously took a step back, remembering what Xue Yuliu said to her during the day, she didn't know how to face him for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Yue asked.

"No... nothing? I just didn't expect you to come so late, so I was taken aback." Lin Zijiang scratched his ears and replied.

"Is this king so scary?" Chu Yue squinted at her, "I'm asking what's wrong with your face?"

"Oh, face..." Lin Zijiang touched his swollen left cheek, "I just accidentally bumped it."

"Why does this king look like he was beaten?" Chu Yue said, bringing his eyes closer to Lin Zijiang, "There are five finger prints on it."

Lin Zijiang leaned back, kept a distance from Chu Yue as much as possible, glared at him and said, "You asked after knowing everything!"

"This king just didn't expect that even a woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken can bully you."

"Cut! Xue Yuliu is my opponent. I was just accidentally attacked by her. You didn't see how she looked when she left this yard today. That guy's face was as swollen as a pig's head. I guarantee her I won't be able to go out for a month." Speaking of this, Lin Zijiang raised his chin proudly.

Seeing her like that, Chu Yue couldn't help but find it funny, but when she thought of the way she looked at Chu Yin during the day, she straightened her face again: "Worry about yourself first, how will you go out tomorrow like this? It seems that Princess Lan is still not sure." Timing, if she asks you to unveil the veil in front of everyone tomorrow, then I'm afraid you will make people laugh out loud with your appearance."

"Laugh just laugh, I've been used to it for a long time. Didn't you have a good life with that face before?" Lin Zijiang didn't want to continue this topic, and asked instead: "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Chu Yue turned his gaze elsewhere, and said, "I heard that...you are looking for me?"

"Oh……"

Only then did Lin Zijiang remember that he wanted to tell Chu Yue about detoxification last night.But now, she felt that she shouldn't tell him these things, after all, it was her personal matter.What she should do now is to keep a distance from Chu Yue.

"I-I'm fine. It's getting late, my lord, go back and rest, I'm going to sleep too!" Lin Zijiang said, and was about to close the door.

However, Chu Yue held the door with his hands to stop her: "Aren't you going to explain to me? About what happened in the court this morning, and how your poison was cured?"

"Okay, let me explain. Last night, a man in black broke into my room. He should be the 'ruthless son' you mentioned before. He gave me the antidote, and then I woke up this morning. I found that the poison on my body was completely cured. I planned to tell you early in the morning, but I never had a chance to see you until Princess Lan found fault with her and took her to the Golden Palace. Then I thought I might as well use this opportunity to invite you into the urn " Lin Zijiang answered as simply as possible.

"that's it?"

"Hmm."

"This king wants to know the details!"

"That's the general story of the matter, and there's nothing else to say." Lin Zijiang blinked guiltily.

"Really?" Chu Yue stared at her with elusive eyes, "For example, what is your relationship with that man in black? Why did he give you the antidote so easily? Keep troubling you again and again? Why did Prince Yin refuse to make a marriage? Also... what is your relationship with him?"

"You...what do you mean? These questions are simply inexplicable! How would I know why he refused to make a marriage?" Lin Zijiang lowered his head while talking, trying to avoid Chu Yue's eyes.

"You really don't know?" Chu Yue still stared at her closely, as if trying to see through her heart.

Lin Zijiang really can't lie, especially under Chu Yue's nose. She knew that he could ask such a question because he must have made up his mind.So she simply gritted her teeth, raised her head to meet Chu Yue's eyes, and said, "So what if I know? Who and what relationship I have is my own business! I and you are just a cooperative relationship, and it is useful Did you report everything to me?"

"you……"

"What are you? You always like to inquire about my private affairs like a prisoner. Don't you think you are a cock? You always like to suspect that I have other thoughts. Don't you have a lot of things to hide from me? Then Let me ask you, where did you go last night and what were you doing? Will you tell me the truth?"

"My king..." Chu Yue just opened his mouth, but stopped again.If he had to admit that he spent the whole night reading medical books for her, wouldn't that mean that he cared about her?

"Can't tell you! Look, there are many things you don't want to tell me, but I won't press you! So, let's compare our hearts, and in the future, don't ask me endlessly about things I don't want to say Well, it’s already very late now, and we all have to get up early tomorrow. So please let me go first, and also yourself! Go back to sleep, good night!”

After finishing the long list in one breath, Lin Zijiang quickly closed the door before Chu Yue could react, and let out a long breath against the door frame!

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Chu Yue realized that he was accidentally walked in by her just now.He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long while. After sorting out his thoughts, he finally came to a conclusion: "So...you really have something to do with him!"

All of a sudden, Chu Yue felt a nameless anger ignite from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help clenching his teeth.His hands clenched into fists burst out with veins like tree roots, and the picture of Lin Zijiang and Chu Yin together seemed to appear in front of his eyes, so angry that he punched the big vermilion lacquer pillar beside the door.

He used [-]% of his internal strength for this punch, and even Lin Zijiang, who was leaning on the door frame in the room, was shocked!
She held her breath, and didn't dare to open the door again until she heard Chu Yue's footsteps leaving.After confirming that Chu Yue had left, she patted herself on the head with some annoyance, and asked herself in her heart, when did she become so cowardly?In the past, she was not convinced by anyone but her master and was not afraid of anyone. How could she always be frightened by Chu Yue?

However, when she saw the finger-wide cracks that suddenly appeared on the wooden pillar, she couldn't help but gasped again.She seemed to have foreseen the scene of this punch hitting her.

"It seems that he is really angry! Does he really like me?" Lin Zijiang frowned and said to himself, "This can't go on like this! What should I do?"

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and patted herself on the forehead: "Yes! Elope!"
