Chapter 11 - No Culture for Mute
Chu Yi Chen's expression became a lot more relaxed: "How did you come up with that idea?"
Zhuo Qingyan shook her head: "You won't agree anyways, it's no use asking."
"How do you know that This King does not agree?" Chu Yi Chen said again.
"First of all, you are a prince, your position is high …"
"He is now a useless king, without authority or authority …"
"Then you still have your status. If you aren't valued by others, aren't you sad?"
"The bad times have passed. It is already bad enough to hand over the army of three hundred thousand men."
"Forget about it. The things that you've plotted and the things that I've plotted are two different things. They haven't intersected."
"If you don't want to tell me, how will you know?"
Zhuo Qingyan let out a long breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll say it, but first, don't get angry, don't go crazy, don't smash things, don't hit me …"
"..." "Line..." Chu Yi Chen forced a smile and nodded.
After Zhuo Qingyan finished listening, she still uncertainly moved backwards a bit and sat a bit further away from him. At least, it was a distance away from where he reached out his hand to grab her.
Seeing her like this, the corners of Chu Yi Chen's mouth rose in a pretty smile.
"Actually, the request I made was very simple: I just wanted to live in peace. Although the current me has recovered, I don't think about many things, and am still in the library. Some things cannot be revealed, and every single one of them is in danger. Zhuo Qingyan stared fixedly at him, afraid that he would suddenly attack.
"Yes." Chu Yi Chen softly replied.
"Moreover, there can't be no women in this mansion, right? "I don't want to cause trouble, so please warn those people and don't provoke me. I do things impulsively and accidentally hurt them. It's not good for anyone …" Zhuo Qingyan said again.
"Right now, in the manor, other than you, there are only a few female servants. There are no other women." Chu Yi Chen really wanted to laugh out loud. He almost couldn't break it.
"That … and …" "It should be gone …" Zhuo Qingyan suddenly did not know what to say and slightly pouted her lips.
Chu Yi Chen stared at her, and smiled again, but immediately retracted it: "Do you really not have any other plans?"
"What plan?" Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"I really don't want to know who your mother is." Chu Yi Chen asked.
Zhuo Qingyan shook her head and then nodded: "I want to know, and I don't want to know either. There are some things that should be done naturally, if you ask too much, you won't get a good result, right?"
Chu Yi Chen sincerely smiled and nodded: "You really are like her!"
A look of understanding flashed past Zhuo Qingyan's eyes, then she reached out to grab her wine cup and gulped it down. "As expected, Prince Ling knows my mother."
"You know?" Chu Yi Chen couldn't help but be shocked, frowning as he stared at him from behind the mask.
"Isn't that a good proof? At the very least, I still recognize her handwriting. She has a sharpness in her elegance, especially when she puts away her brush. She would even turn around like a unsheathed sword. Am I right? Your Highness? " Zhuo Qingyan looked at him with a wry smile.
Chu Yi Chen first looked at the words in the bedchamber in alarm, then let out a long breath: "Yes, this king knew your mother long ago."
Zhuo Qingyan nodded. "You're old friends, no wonder …"
"What?" Seeing her like this, Chu Yi Chen's heart tightened for no reason.
"You clearly know that I'm a fool, but you still want to marry me? This favor is a bit big, and the price is not small either. Is it worth it?" Zhuo Qingyan did not even look at him, she just stared at the empty cup in her hands.
"There are some things that must be fulfilled as soon as a promise is made. If you don't do it, how do you know whether it's worth it or not?" Chu Yi Chen closed his eyes.
"Perhaps, but I will give you a chance to regret. If you think that you cannot do it, then inform me at any time, and Zhuo Qingyan will immediately disappear from Ling Mansion, and definitely not make things difficult for the Prince, to repay for saving my life." Zhuo Qingyan poured another cup of wine and raised both her hands.
Chu Yi Chen stared at her for a while. "It seems that you really want to leave this duke."
Zhuo Qingyan shook her head: "No, I'm afraid of bringing you trouble."
"That might not be the case. This King might have brought you trouble..." Chu Yi Chen said.
Seeing that he didn't raise his glass, Zhuo Qingyan could only put it down. She exhaled before continuing, "Even with today's wedding ceremony, I can feel that things will not be so peaceful in the future."
"What is it? Scared? " The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth raised, carrying a trace of a mocking smile.
"I'm not that afraid. It's because I don't want to lose control and hurt my life. I never show mercy when killing evil people, but if I kill someone I shouldn't have killed by mistake, then it would be troublesome …" Zhuo Qingyan shook her head, her eyes were cold and solemn for a moment.
Chu Yi Chen smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter. With this king here, you can do whatever you want. To be able to enter this prince's mansion and investigate without killing him is already a blessing. Killing him is also reasonable."
Zhuo Qingyan raised her eyebrows as she smiled, "Many thanks, Your Highness."
"Sure, sure …" Chu Yi Chen picked up the wine cup on the table, lightly clinked it with the cup in front of her, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Since we are having a pleasant chat today, you may ask any questions you have. This King will consider whether to answer or not." Chu Yi Chen said again.
"Ah?" As appropriate? "Then I better not ask …" Zhuo Qingyan leaned back in her chair and hugged her chest as she looked at him.
"What is it? Not satisfied? " Chu Yi Chen slightly frowned.
Zhuo Qingyan sighed helplessly: "Please forgive me for my bluntness, but talking to you people is really tiring. Not only is it tiring, but also tiring, every word has to be rehearsed several times in my head, afraid that if any of your words are wrong, you will be angered. Rather than pretending to be mute, it's better to just pretend to be mute."
Chu Yi Chen was startled once again, and his brows furrowed even deeper under the mask. However, he did not know why this was the case. Was it because of her words, or was it because of her attitude.
"Originally, I was a sixteen year old fool, but I didn't read many books. Being able to speak according to the rules and etiquette is already not easy. Also, didn't Your Highness think that it was too difficult for me to think like this?" Zhuo Qingyan looked at him with her small face.
"Puff …" Chu Yi Chen suddenly smiled and naturally nodded his head.
She was right, she was indeed tired.
It was already late at night, and the two prepared to sleep. Chu Yi Chen pointed at the marriage bed and said, "You can sleep here."
Zhuo Qingyan did not move and only stared at him. Chu Yi Chen glanced at her and pointed at the wooden door behind the bed: "I'm resting in the back room. You can sleep in peace."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhuo Qingyan immediately lowered her body and raised her eyebrows proudly.
Just this small action of hers had long since been caught in Chu Yi Chen's eyes. She pursed her lips and walked into the rear hall.
Zhuo Qingyan took a long time to take off her wedding dress. Then, she ran to the cabinet at the side to find her original clothes from the Zhuo Mansion. The wedding dress didn't feel comfortable at all, and she felt itchy all over.
