Chapter 10 - Your Request
Looking at the delicacies on the table, she suddenly lost all appetite, and stared blankly at Chu Yi Chen.
Chu Yi Chen could naturally feel such a burning gaze. After he placed a bowl of porridge on the table and pushed it in front of her, he asked, "Is this king that good-looking? You're all staring. "
Zhuo Qingyan pointed to the phoenix crown on her head. "About that …" Can I take this off? It's very heavy. I'm afraid my head will be pressed into a porridge bowl and I'll drown. "
The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth tightened. He was really afraid that he would laugh out again. How could this girl be so cute?
Seeing him nod, she immediately reached out and started pulling, but that wasn't the way it was supposed to be. Seeing her grimacing in pain, Chu Yi Chen sighed and shook his head.
When the phoenix crown was taken off, Zhuo Qingyan let out a long sigh.
Only now did Chu Yi Chen realize that this item was not light at all. This girl had endured for an entire day, and it had been quite exhausting for her.
He casually placed the phoenix coronet on the table at the side. When he turned around, he saw her shaking her head continuously with her hand pressing against the back of her neck. She looked very playful.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted, and he walked back with a straight face.
Seeing him sit down, Zhuo Qingyan pointed at the bowl in front of her. "Can I eat now?"
"En!" Chu Yi Chen nodded slightly.
In the next second, Zhuo Qingyan finished the bowl of porridge as if she was drinking water without even using her chopsticks. Then she rolled up her sleeves to grab the spoon and scooped another bowl.
"Hungry?" Chu Yi Chen had never seen a woman like her eat like this before, but he was really shocked.
"From the first light of dawn until now, I haven't even drunk a single mouthful of water, let alone eating. Who knows who's hungry …" With that, he picked up the bowl and started drinking again.
"There's food here. Slow down, no one is going to fight you for it …" Chu Yi Chen frowned as he looked at her.
Zhuo Qingyan looked up at him from the bowl and laughed: "You're scared just like that? In the future when His Highness lives together with a fool, he must get used to it. Otherwise, the one who will reveal an opening will not be me, but you, Your Highness! "
Hearing this, Chu Yi Chen understood that she was acting. Her gaze couldn't help but turn cold, and instantly, a chill spread out.
After Zhuo Qingyan felt his anger, she was not afraid, but still smiled: "Marrying a fool, I presume Your Highness knows that. Since you're willing to do that, then you don't have to be so nervous when facing a fool, actually living with a fool is not bad, because a fool is not sensible, so naturally you won't be too nosy."
Chu Yi Chen coldly said, "But you are not a fool!"
"You can't just treat me as a fool, it's just that when His Highness says that I'm not a fool, someone still has to believe him, no?" Zhuo Qingyan picked up the chopsticks on the table and started to eat.
"What is your purpose?" Chu Yi Chen placed his hands in front of his chest and looked at her again.
Zhuo Qingyan did not answer him. Instead, she pointed to a wine jug on the table and asked: "Can I drink this?"
"Yes!" Chu Yi Chen nodded.
Zhuo Qingyan poured a glass and downed it in one gulp. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him, "To be alive and safe. That is the only goal I can think of for the time being."
"That's it?" Chu Yi Chen frowned again.
"So it's like this, my ambition isn't that great, and I'm not living well in the Zhuo Mansion. I might die at any time, but I guess this prince's place is too big, and I can let one, two, or three people in. Also, I can find a more remote place to leave me there, so I should be able to see and be clean!" Zhuo Qingyan raised an eyebrow at him.
"Zhuo Qingyan, you know very well that you are currently in the Princess Ling. If this duke does as you say, it might cause unnecessary trouble for this duke, so how are you going to compensate this duke?" The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth rose into a cold smile.
"The Prince Ling is the god of war of the Darkhan. He has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has been decisive in his killing, and he has always done what he said. He has his own methods of army and war, and he has never been restricted by anyone. Zhuo Qingyan also crossed her arms and looked at him.
"You investigated This King?" Chu Yi Chen's voice became even colder.
Zhuo Qingyan smiled again: "For a fool, I might not even know what it is, but unfortunately, I have recovered before getting married, so I am a normal person. I will definitely understand my future husband's preferences, and I am just a normal person.
"That's all?" Chu Yi Chen asked again.
However, Your Highness can be at ease, if Your Highness really has someone you can care about, if you want to marry back to me and become the real wangfei, I can give up the position. To me, this position is not that attractive, or to put it bluntly, I will not take it on, as long as Your Highness wants to return to the position of concubine, I can swindle my way out of the palace. "
"Feigned death?" Chu Yi Chen was startled. What was in this little girl's head?
"That's right, this is the best method. No need to really die, just lead my people to a place no one knows and live in peace." Zhuo Qingyan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes quivering slightly. Her white teeth nibbled on her dark red lower lip, looking just like that … Temptation!
Chu Yi Chen couldn't help but exhale, and turn his head to the side. "I heard that you suspect the cause of your mother's death?"
Zhuo Qingyan lifted her head to look at him, "How do you know?"
"This King also knows that your mother is no ordinary commoner." Chu Yi Chen was very happy to see her expression of surprise.
Zhuo Qingyan could not help but laugh as she lightly nodded her head, "I believe that she is no ordinary commoner."
"Don't want to investigate?" Chu Yi Chen asked.
However, Zhuo Qingyan shook her head: "I don't have that kind of strength, so I don't need to have this extravagant hope. I'll save my life first."
Chu Yi Chen was speechless once again. This girl's way of thinking, how could she be so unreasonable?
Wasn't she supposed to ask him what he could do for her?
At this time, Zhuo Qingyan poured herself another cup of wine. This time, she took a sip and nodded: "It's very fragrant, but I still feel that the plum fruit wine in my Plum Garden tastes good. My lord, do you want to try it?"
"What is your request?" Chu Yi Chen also reached out a cup.
She immediately poured him a cup, then raised her glass and said, "Peaceful coexistence, mutual non-interference, living a peaceful life. We'll each take what we need."
Chu Yi Chen was dumbfounded. Was this girl joking?
Seeing him standing there in a daze without saying anything, Zhuo Qingyan couldn't help but pout and mutter in a small voice: "I knew it wouldn't work …"
