Chapter 283 Those who live up to their sincerity will not end well!
In the end, Xiao Jue still did not give up his dream of returning to the palace, and did not completely fall out with Qin Zhen.
He gave the bed to Qin Zhen and slept on the soft couch outside.
Qin Zhen was lying on the bed, holding tightly the hairpin she took from Hongxue's dressing table, as if it was her only life-saving talisman.
She kept her eyes open and never fell asleep. When it was almost dawn, Qin Zhen heard the sound of searching coming from the street downstairs.
She thought it must be Lou Yan's people looking for her.
After such a long time, Lou Yan should be worried, right?
No matter how smart he was, he probably would never have imagined that the dignified prince Xiao Jue would hide in this dirty brothel.
She wanted to open the window and shout outside, telling Lou Yan that she was here. However, she couldn't.
Xiao Jue kept a close eye on him almost every step of the way.
She endured it with her eyes half-closed, and finally waited until it was fully dawn. Then she heard the door being pushed open, and Hongxue walked in.
She heard Xiao Jue asking when Hongxue could leave, but Hongxue just refused to make arrangements and asked Xiao Jue to wait.
She also heard Hongxue cautiously asking about her situation, only to be scolded away by Xiao Jue.
After a while, footsteps approached the bed, and it was Xiao Jue's voice: "Get up and have something to eat."
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, and then responded.
She packed herself up and went out. Xiao Jue was already waiting at the table.
Qin Zhen glanced at the dishes on the table and raised her eyebrows slightly.
It's rare that Hongxue can still remember her own preferences.
She walked to the table, sat down, and started eating calmly.
Xiao Jue looked at her for a while and asked: "You look bad, didn't you sleep well?"
Qin Zhen looked calm: "Is it possible that His Royal Highness has already slept?"
Xiao Jue: "..."
Of course he didn't sleep well.
He was originally a high-ranking and glorious prince, but he turned into a loser overnight.
Such consequences were indeed caused by his wrong decision-making, but Qin Zhen was also responsible for it.
Every time he thought about this, he felt cruel and wanted to kill Qin Zhen to vent his anger. But when he thought about those days, Xiao Jue couldn't let go. He felt that both of them were at fault for getting to this point.
It can be said that he now loves and hates Qin Zhen.
At the same time, he also had some expectations for the Qin family. He hoped that with Qin Zhen's relationship, the Qin family would play a key role in his return to the capital in the future.
Naturally, Xiao Jue would not tell Qin Zhen everything he was thinking. He only said: "Hongxue said that we can't leave today and have to wait. After you eat, take the time to rest. After she takes care of things, we will leave immediately."
, then you won’t have much time to rest.”
Qin Zhen: "Okay."
Perhaps Qin Zhen was too obedient, which made Xiao Jue feel a little less angry.
He looked at Qin Zhen and suddenly said: "Change your clothes, your red dress is very eye-catching."
Wearing another man's wedding dress made Xiao Jue feel uneasy.
Qin Zhen ate for a moment, then said calmly: "You want me to wear the clothes of a prostitute in this brothel?"
Xiao Jue: "..."
"Go out and buy it? It's better not to give it up, you will be discovered." Qin Zhen smiled, looked up at Xiao Jue, and said, "It's just a piece of clothing. If you're not happy, just burn it after you escape. Why bother?"
Are you ruining your big things because of such a small thing?"
Although Xiao Jue still felt a little uncomfortable, he also felt that what Qin Zhen said was reasonable. The most important thing was that Qin Zhen was thinking about him.
"Okay, it's up to you." Xiao Jue said, "When I go to Shu, I will prepare more and more gorgeous clothes for you."
Qin Zhen smiled and lowered her head to eat.
After the meal, Qin Zhen went back to the inner room on the pretext of taking a rest.
This time, I waited until noon.
When Hongxue came again, she still couldn't hold it back and kept looking in Qin Zhen's direction.
"Your Highness, I see that the princess has always let her hair down. Maybe she left in a hurry and forgot to bring something with her." Hongxue cautiously tried, "I, I can help the princess take care of it a little bit."
Xiao Jue and Qin Zhen looked at Hongxue at the same time.
After a while, Xiao Jue looked away: "Go."
Hongxue was overjoyed, walked quickly to Qin Zhen, and said in a low voice: "Princess, let's go."
Qin Zhen glanced at her twice, then silently followed her into the inner room and sat in front of the dressing table.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Hongxue's eyes red from crying in the mirror.
Hongxue moved her lips and whispered: "Princess, I'm sorry."
Qin Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "You have nothing to apologize to me for."
"No, it's me who is sorry for the princess." Hongxue's eyes were very red and she whispered, "The princess saved my life at the beginning, and she treated me sincerely after that. It was me, a wolf-hearted person, who let down the princess' sincerity."
Qin Zhen: "It was Xiao Yao who saved you in the first place. You should repay him for saving your life. You don't owe me anything."
Hongxue shook her head: "No, I know."
Seeing her like this, Qin Zhen couldn't say anything else.
Hongxue picked up the comb, slowly tied her hair, and said to her in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince told me before leaving to obey His Highness the Crown Prince's orders in everything. I...can't let you go. All I can do is
If you can delay as much time as possible, I hope the prince can find you as soon as possible."
"As for His Highness the Crown Prince, I must send him out of the capital. This is what His Highness the Fourth Highness has entrusted, and I have no choice but to do it."
"Princess, I'm really sorry."
As she finished speaking, her bun was already combed. Qin Zhen inserted Hongxue's hairpin into her hair and turned back to look at Hongxue.
"Have you ever regretted it at all?" Qin Zhen asked.
Hongxue smiled bitterly, and after a while, she trembled her lips and said, "I... don't regret it."
Who told her that she had a bad life since she was a child?
When she was a child, she couldn't be a human being at home and lived like an animal. When she grew up, the person she fell in love with at first sight was so high above them, like the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Even if she tried her best, she couldn't reach a corner of his clothes.
This bright moon is destined not to belong to her. Therefore, as long as this bright moon is willing to give her even a little bit of light, she is willing to give everything for him.
She has no regrets, she just prays that she will never see this bright moon again in the rest of her life. She would rather live in darkness for the rest of her life.
However, she failed Qin Zhen's sincerity in treating her, and she was destined to have a bad ending in her life.
Qin Zhen's eyes were complicated, and she finally sighed and said, "As long as you don't regret it."
Hongxue, just like herself in the previous life, plunged in and couldn't climb out.
In the end, she paid a huge price for her awakening.
But looking at Hongxue like this, I am afraid she will never wake up in this life.
The two of them went out from the inner room. Xiao Jue looked over, his expression rarely softened, and said: "Yes, it looks much more pleasing to the eye."
