Ming Lanruo closed her eyes and bit her lip, refusing to cry.
She really hated herself for being in front of him and being at his mercy.
Drops of tears as clear as pearls fell on Cang Qiao's robe.
He seemed to be burned by her tears again, and his hands froze again.
Looking at the slender figure crying silently in front of him, he remembered that she was only twenty years old now.
But these years, she had lived tenaciously in the palace, and now she was dealing with him and everyone in the palace with all her wits, and she had forgotten that she was actually a boudoir girl once.
His dark and cold eyes flashed with complicated light, and he raised his hand to hold her chin: "Let go."
Her teeth bit her soft lips, and a little blood seeped out.
Ming Lanruo closed her eyes and stubbornly refused to look at him or pay attention to him.
Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes, lowered her head suddenly, put her high nose on her forehead and said quietly: "Do you want me to change your mouth in some way?"
His scarlet thin lips almost fell on her lips, and his big hands clasped her soft and smooth waist.
Ming Lanruo's breathing was rapid and panicked. She remembered that she was naked and wanted to push him away, but she couldn't move, so she could only compromise and let go of her lips.
But she still closed her eyes bitterly, her eyelashes filled with tears, but didn't look at him.
But she didn't know that if she opened her eyes at this time, she would be able to see the almost sickly light in his eyes, which were always deep and cold when he looked at her.
Cang Qiao saw her expression of "I'm willing to risk whatever you want", he sighed softly, avoided her injuries, and carefully and gently hugged her into his arms.
Then, he put his slender palm close to her injury to explore and caress: "Why, crying like this, don't you want to lose face the most?"
Minglan said wistfully: "No, I am the most shameless. I seduce men everywhere, even eunuchs!"
Cang Qiao: "……."
After a moment, he changed the topic calmly: "Mu Qingshu is the number one swordsman in the Forbidden Army. It is pure luck that you survived from his hands. Don't do such dangerous things in the future."
Ming Lanruo said expressionlessly: "If I don't do such a dangerous thing, I will kneel down in the palace. A life of being abused by everyone is much more dangerous than having my bones broken."
Cang Qiao knew that she was injured intentionally, and she was not surprised.
Cang Qiao raised her delicate eyes: "Why don't you let someone tell me that you feel that I can't protect you, so you have to choose this way to hug the Queen Mother's thigh?"
Ming Lanruo sneered coldly: "Master Qiansui is the most capable person in the world, but that requires you to want to protect me instead of watching my jokes. Why, your palace is full of eyeliners, don't you know that I will be betrayed by others?"
Difficult?"
Cang Qiao's eyes deepened. From the moment he let her enter the palace, he knew that she would be in trouble.
Someone has always reported all her actions to him in real time, and he knows her whereabouts well.
But, as she said, he deliberately let it go.
because……
He paused, his eyes scanning every part of her body inch by inch.
The girl in front of her was thin and thin, with tears on her snow-white face. Her soft body was wrapped in a small bellyband, exuding a light medicinal fragrance warmly.
Cang Qiao's eyes were so deep and strange that he suddenly changed his position, letting her lean into his arms like a child.
"You should beg me like you did before." He lowered his head, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the person in his arms, and murmured.
His incomprehensible words gave Ming Lanruo a strange thought——
It was as if he was watching her suffer indifferently just so that he could beg him.
"Do you want me to... please?" she asked tentatively, calmly.
The man behind her paused for a moment, then suddenly reached out and smoothed every strand of her messy hair little by little. His voice was so gentle that it was weird: "Be sensible and ask me instead of going to anyone else, okay?"
Ming Lanruo was a little confused and horrified at this moment. This was the first time he gently asked her for her opinion.
But she only felt that the way he touched her was like carefully stroking his beloved doll.
She didn't know that the man holding her was a crazy person. His actions in his previous life and his final method of death were already crazy enough.
But……
That's because in his last life, he lived too hard. He even knew that she was using him, but he still helped King Qin win the heir for her.
He walked alone in the unknown darkness all his life, carrying too many secrets.
She didn't know that in this life, he already had a confidante by his side, so why did she still feel that he was not normal?
"Okay, let me ask you something now." Ming Lanruo rolled her eyes slightly and suddenly spoke.
After she died once, she learned a lot.
One of them is not to fall into painful emotions, live in the present, and seize every opportunity that is beneficial to you to achieve your desired goals.
Cang Qiao buried the tip of his nose into her soft hair and smelled deeply. His eyes were dark and blurred, and he asked hoarsely: "Tell me."
"I want to take Xiao Cang to live in your mansion, so that I can treat you more conveniently." Ming Lanruo couldn't see his movements and felt that he was too close to her.
After a while, Ming Lanruo heard a man's cold voice: "This is not appropriate, Dongchang is not suitable for women."
She raised her eyebrows: "Does uncle refuse me to live in Dongchang, or does he refuse me to take Xiaoxi to live there?"
On the way into the palace, she briefly heard the scene of their first meeting as "father and son". Whoever had his head bitten by a naughty child in public was probably not very happy.
What's more, he always thought that Xiao Xi was the child of King Qin.
Cang Qiao raised his head from her hair and said leisurely: "It's not suitable. Dongchang is very evil."
Ming Lanruo laughed angrily and sneered: "Hehehe, Master Qiantose, I'd better not ask you to beg me again in the future, I can't afford it!"
She, a "niece", is not suitable to live there. Isn't Yun Ni, who calls herself "concubine", not a female dependent? Doesn't she also live in Dongchang?
Cang Qiao stroked her soft long hair, as if coaxing a disobedient child: "Prince Mourning's Mansion has been cleaned up by me. From now on, you will be a serious master. Your food and clothing will only be better than other princesses. There is no need to
If you don’t leave the mansion, you won’t have to listen to gossip. The courtyard of Prince Miao’s mansion is big enough. I’ll provide you with a theater troupe and a storyteller’s restaurant to relieve your boredom, okay?”
Ming Lanruo was speechless for a moment. Is this the longest sentence he has said to her in these years?
But he made all kinds of careful arrangements so that she would not have to worry about moving into Dongchang!
"If Mr. Qiansui thinks Lan Ruo is an eyesore and doesn't want me to get close to you, why should he be so nice to me?" She was silent for a while, then suddenly asked softly.
This is almost her most direct confession.
She really wants to know the answer. Will he be obsessed with her for the rest of his life like he was in his previous life?
Cang Qiao's movements paused, and after a moment, she suddenly said calmly: "I promised your mother that I would take care of you throughout your life and let you live in peace."
After hearing the expected answer, Ming Lanruo closed her eyes and said expressionlessly: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
She didn't want to talk nonsense to him anymore.
After rebirth, she found that he seemed to have changed a lot in this life, and there were more people around him.
She seems to be unable to find the reason or answer when she is here with him.
But it doesn't matter, she will find the answer herself.
after all……
She moved her waist and found that her acupuncture points had been untied at some point, and the injury on her shoulder blade was no longer so painful.
She felt that it was worth saving a man who kept silent and devoted his inner energy to straightening out her meridians and healing her injuries.
What's more, he is Xi'er's father.
…
In the dark tunnel, Yun Ni stood quietly and listened to all their conversations.
There was a light as cold as a knife in her eyes.
Ming Lanruo, this bitch, actually wants to harm Master Qiantui in this life!
Don’t even think about it!
She will never allow Chitose to make the same mistake again!
