In the courtyard, Gao Cheng raised his voice and shouted: "Back to Your Majesty, the princess has arrived and is waiting in the courtyard."
The room was quiet for a while, and then Xiao Chengye's voice came: "Let her come in."
Gao Cheng responded, stepped forward and opened the door: "Princess, please."
Qin Zhen nodded to him and then stepped in.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
Qin Zhen had been drinking traditional Chinese medicine for so long, and she absolutely hated the smell. Because of the poor ventilation in this room, the smell of medicine in the room was even stronger, which made Qin Zhen want to retch.
She endured it and walked to the end step by step.
There was a bed inside, and Xiao Jue was lying on it, with his head slightly tilted and his eyes staring directly in Qin Zhen's direction.
Xiao Chengye was sitting beside the bed, his brows furrowed tightly and he didn't look very happy.
Qin Zhen ignored Xiao Jue's gaze and only saluted Xiao Chengye: "I have met your Majesty."
Xiao Chengye raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, get up."
After hearing this, Qin Zhen stood up and stood there with her head lowered, without saying a word.
Xiao Chengye glanced at her for a few times, and finally waved to Qin Zhen and said, "Come here."
Qin Zhen took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xiao Chengye.
Xiao Chengye looked up at her: "Are you angry because I asked you to come here?"
Qin Zhen whispered: "Don't be angry, I can understand my father."
Xiao Chengye: "Then why do you look so ugly?"
Qin Zhen said bluntly: "It's not because of my father."
Xiao Chengye: "..."
If it's not because of him, then it's naturally because of Xiao Jue.
That's right, she was locked up in that dark little room by Xiao Jue, and almost killed two people. Such a huge hatred, no one can pretend that it didn't happen.
If Qin Zhen greeted her with a smile today, then Xiao Chengye would think she was abnormal.
Xiao Chengye glanced at Xiao Jue, who was staring straight at Qin Zhen, frowned, and then said to Qin Zhen: "I know that I am embarrassing you by asking you to do this. But, you do it for my sake.
, say a few words to this traitor."
Xiao Chengye stood up from the bed and whispered to Qin Zhen: "If this traitor does anything bad, just shout out and everyone will be outside to guard you. I will never let you be wronged again this time."
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I understand."
Xiao Chengye nodded to her, stood up and went out, closing the door behind him.
In such a big room, only Qin Zhen and Xiao Jue were left.
Qin Zhen stood silently beside the bed, her eyes finally falling on Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue's eyes always fell on Qin Zhen. Seeing her looking over, he said softly: "We... haven't been this close for a long time, and I haven't seen you properly for a long time. It seems like a lifetime has passed.
.”
Because of his injuries, his voice was slightly hoarse. And because he had been castrated by Lou Yan, his voice was hoarse but also had a bit of an inconspicuous shrillness.
Qin Zhen seemed a little curious when she heard this voice, and she tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiao Jue's face.
This person seems to have become different.
Before Qin Zhen could figure out what was different, she heard Xiao Jue say: "Seeing me like this, do you feel a little happier in your heart? Is there any big revenge that needs to be avenged?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Qin Zhen narrowed her eyes and stared into Xiao Jue's eyes: "What did you say?"
