Chapter 161 I like King Junqi. Qiao Shuang'er didn't refute. She wanted to see Nalan Zhenqi now and wanted to tell him how she felt clearly in her heart. She didn't want to be a half-hearted person and she wanted to treat King Junqi wholeheartedly.
King Junqi didn't wait for the answer he wanted. His heart was filled with despair. He withdrew his hand and said, "I will order someone to escort you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Thank you." Qiao Shuang'er looked at King Junqi's back and her eyes couldn't help but have a touch of tenderness. Are all people like this? After knowing their love, would they suddenly become so sentimental? She looked at Junqi infatuatedly.
Looking at the back of the king, he was so worried that he didn't know what he could do to make King Junqi understand that he suddenly changed his mind. Would he think that he was a loser? Even he felt that he was a little sentimental, otherwise how could he like Nalan Zhenqi?
Sympathy and falling in love with King Junqi?
King Junqi still took care of Qiao Shuang'er's body and arranged a carriage for her, and sent Yang Feng to escort him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The moment Xiao Yan took Qiao Shuang'er from Yang Feng's hand, she showed a faint smile to Yang Feng
With a smile, Yang Feng nodded slightly. This was the language between them, which meant that I was living a good life.
Although Yang Feng was reluctant to leave, he did not stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion because of his special status. After Qiao Shuang'er returned to the room, almost everyone in the mansion came to visit. Jing Yirong looked at Qiao Shuang'er's pale face and finally felt a little guilty.
, "I'm sorry that I made you hurt this time. I owe you. If you need help in the future, just let me know."
"Jing Yirong, when did you become such a Bodhisattva? I agreed to this plan, not to mention that just being injured has nothing to do with you at all." Qiao Shuang'er said nonchalantly, "Don't show off anymore.
I can't bear to look like you owe me something."
Xiao Yan brought the steaming medicine to Qiao Shuang'er, "When did you and the master's plan hide from us? I should be the one to do this kind of thing."
"The most important condition of this plan is that the person arrested must be Qiao Shuang'er." Jing Yirong unexpectedly explained to Xiao Yan, "In fact, no one will achieve the results if they do it."
Qiao Shuang'er drank the medicine in one gulp, "Don't worry, I won't take this precaution at all. As long as I take a few pills that brother Liu Mo left for me, I will be able to get out of bed and walk tomorrow."
"You are still so restless even when you are sick," Nalan Zhenqi said helplessly with a smile.
Nalan Zhijin carefully inspected the wound on Qiao Shuang'er's arm, "Does it hurt?"
"Are you feeling sorry for me, little one?" Qiao Shuang'er said with great interest, "It's not a waste of my being hurt to make you feel sorry for me."
Nalan Zhijin pouted, "I don't feel sorry for you, I'm just worried that no one will quarrel with me in the future. It's so boring. Sister Shuang'er, please get well soon. My martial arts has improved a lot by then.
After I teach you a few tricks, no one will be able to bully you anymore."
"Look how proud you are, little one," Qiao Shuang'er tapped Nalan Zhijin's nose.
Qiao Shuang'er's eyes finally fell on Nalan Zhenqi, "Can we talk alone?"
Nalan Zhenqi glanced at Yueya subconsciously. Qiao Shuang'er looked at Yueya and smiled, "Can I borrow Nalan Zhenqi for the last time."
Jing Yirong noticed what Qiao Shuang'er said about "the last time" and suddenly understood what Qiao Shuang'er meant. Maybe this time she had really figured out her own heart and knew who the person she loved was. If the answer
If it was really what I imagined, maybe no one would get hurt again.
"I'll lend it to you." Yue Ya said generously. A woman's intuition made her feel that there were some changes in Qiao Shuang'er.
Everyone walked out of the room. Nalan Qingyi walked beside Jing Yirong with a look of relief on her face, "It seems Shuang'er finally knows how she feels."
"What do you mean?" Jing Yirong looked at Nalan Qingyi in confusion.
Nalan Qingyi laughed, "I never understand how no one understands such an obvious thing. Qiao Shuang'er does care about Zhenqi and may be willing to sacrifice her life for him, but not all feelings can only be between men and women.
Just as you care about Zhenqi, Zhijin and Xiao Yan, you also care about them. You love them but don’t feel the same way about me."
"Why do you know?" Jing Yirong expressed doubt, "It's just a random guess."
Nalan Qingyi shook her head and hugged Jing Yirong lovingly, "Because Qiao Shuang'er never saw the light of love in Zhenqi's eyes." Jing Yirong felt that Nalan Qingyi's words were even more profound. Nalan Qingyi
Her smile deepened and she didn't explain anymore, she just held Jing Yirong tightly and walked away.
Only Qiao Shuang'er and Nalan Zhenqi were left in the house, and the atmosphere instantly became silent.
"Sit." Qiao Shuang'er patted the seat beside her bed. Nalan Zhenqi sat next to Qiao Shuang'er and reached out to touch Qiao Shuang'er's lifeless face, "Does it still hurt?"
Qiao Shuang'er shook her head, "It doesn't hurt at all. Zhenqi, are you worried about me?"
Nalan Zhenqi nodded.
"Were you in pain when I faked my death?"
Nalan Zhenqi nodded again.
"Are you glad to know that I'm not dead?"
Nalan Zhenqi nodded again.
"So do you love me?" Qiao Shuang'er's last question was sudden and decisive.
Nalan Zhenqi was stunned for a moment, his body froze, and he looked at Qiao Shuang'er in surprise. He didn't expect that she would ask such a question, and he never nodded his head. Finally, he said softly, "I'm sorry."
"You didn't do anything sorry for me, so you don't need to say sorry at all." Qiao Shuang'er smiled, "Zhenqi actually had a kind feeling towards you from the beginning. The first time I saw you, I wanted to see you again.
.So I chased you all the way to the Kingdom of Hades, and then spent more and more time with you. We were supposed to be together, but you already have Yue Ya by your side."
"I……"
"Listen to what I have to say," Qiao Shuang'er continued, "Over time, it seems that chasing you has become a habit. I care about you just like you care about me. But you know very well that this is not love. I
But I always thought that this was the love I needed. It wasn’t until King Junqi appeared that I slowly shifted my gaze towards you. Later, I don’t know when I actually had feelings for King Junqi. I’m very confused about how a person can
It’s possible to like two people at the same time.”
Nalan Zhenqi suddenly understood what Qiao Shuang'er was going to say, and the worry between his brows gradually faded away, "Have you fallen in love with King Junqi?"
"Yes," Qiao Shuang'er affirmed, "the person who came to my mind the moment before I was beaten unconscious was not you but King Junqi. The joy I felt when I opened my eyes and saw King Junqi right in front of me
The wounds on my body have been healed. I still care about you, Zhenqi, and will be willing to use my life to protect you when you are in danger. But when I see Yueyue by your side, sometimes I only feel unfair but not jealous. I think maybe
From the first time I met you, I regarded you as my elder brother."
Nalan Zhenqi held Qiao Shuang'er's hand, "Although these words may make people feel a little unbelievable, in my heart you are just like Zhi Jin. I think the feeling of guarding you is different from guarding Yue Ya. I hope
You can be happy and happy."
"I will." Qiao Shuang'er said firmly, "Zhenqi, I think we will both be happy."
Neither Nalan Zhenqi nor Qiao Shuang'er thought that they could be so frank and no longer have any love between men and women, which made them both feel like they had found their true belonging. Maybe they were born with a brother-sister relationship and were the closest in their lives.
Brother and sister, God accidentally gave them gizzards in this life and made them join two families, but this can't stop them from recognizing each other.
Qiao Shuang'er's injury healed quickly as she said, all thanks to the elixir Liu Mo left for her. Qiao Shuang'er was leaving the day she could walk on the ground, and she didn't return to Yubu for a long time.
She wanted to go back to Yuluo Village to have a look. Before returning to Yuluo Village, Qiao Shuang'er first went to a teahouse that King Junqi often visited. King Junqi walked into the elegant room and saw Qiao Shuang'er and couldn't help but frown slightly, "What are you doing?"
it's here?"
"I'm waiting for you." Qiao Shuang'er smiled sweetly, and King Junqi turned around to leave. Qiao Shuang'er hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, "I will go back to Yuluo Village tomorrow to stay in the Millennium Ice Cellar, where
I won’t have anyone to chat with me for seven days. I just want to say hello to you before I leave. Are you not willing to give me this time?"
King Junqi withdrew his hand and turned around while I sat in the tea room. Qiao Shuang'er hurriedly smiled and poured a cup of tea for King Junqi, "I heard that you usually come here to drink this kind of tea, so I have already prepared it."
"If you have anything to say, please tell me." King Junqi's attitude was as indifferent as ever.
Qiao Shuang'er raised her tea cup and said, "I'll offer you tea instead of wine. Thank you for going to the general's mansion to save me. I'm also sorry that I lied to you. My body can't drink alcohol now. I will definitely use wine to show my sincerity."
After saying this, Qiao Shuang'er drank all the water in the tea cup. King Junqi looked at Qiao Shuang'er motionless as if he wanted to read her mind.
Seeing that King Junqi made no move, Qiao Shuang'er had to put down her tea cup and said boringly, "It's really shameless."
"Don't you hate going back? Why are you willing to leave Nalan Zhenqi for seven days?" King Junqi said calmly as he picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
Qiao Shuang'er was happy that King Junqi paid attention to her. She held her chin and said helplessly, "But the time for the fire poison to attack is almost here. This time, I won't have your help on the snow mountain. If it really breaks out outside the Millennium Ice Cellar, I think it will happen."
It was really burned to a pile of ashes."
"If you want to go back to Yuluo Village, you should stay with Nalan Zhenqi instead of me."
"I came here specially to see you." Qiao Shuang'er made no secret, but she was afraid that she would scare King Junqi and added casually, "I came here specially to thank you."
The half-expectation in King Junqi's heart made him feel a little ridiculous, "You don't need to go out of your way to thank me, I just fell into Jing Yirong's scheme. How about this time you risked your life to help Jing Yirong,
Did Jing Yirong ask Nalan Zhenqi to treat you better? Your efforts should not be in vain."
Qiao Shuang'er heard the mockery in King Junqi's words and sighed helplessly, "Things are not what you imagined at all. My help for Jing Yirong is indeed related to Zhenqi, but it is not just for Zhenqi."
"It doesn't matter what I imagined," King Junqi put down the tea cup, "After drinking the tea and chatting, I should go back."
Qiao Shuang'er hurriedly took King Junqi's hand and said, "Don't leave."
King Junqi turned around and looked at Qiao Shuang'er's hand in confusion. Qiao Shuang'er lowered her head and retracted her hand, "Aside from Liu Mo and Yu Liu, you are the only one in the world who has seen my true face and knows that I am poisoned by fire. Now.
You are the only one who can chat with me. No one else will know that I need to stay in a dark thousand-year ice cellar every month to survive. Only you will understand how important every day is to me."
King Junqi stood there without looking back or moving forward. Qiao Shuang'er looked at King Junqi's back and wanted to tell him that she was willing to spend every important day in this teahouse waiting for him to show up, but he would
Do you believe it? In his heart, Qiao Shuang'er still likes Nalan Zhenqi.
