Chapter 192 - Sluggishness
Every word from Xiao Qingqian seemed to transform into a poisoned needle that mercilessly pierced into Wei Qing's heart. It was as if her soul and strength had been sucked out of her.
"Wei Qing, the thing you should do now is to forget about Chu Yin and be a good Princess Chu!"
She looked at his mouth and couldn't hear what he was saying.
Waves of dizziness finally made him faint.
Xiao Qingqian patted her face. Seeing that she had no reaction at all, he raised his eyes to look at Chu Yin, picked her up, and carried her in the carriage.
Inside the front hall, Chu Tiange was almost going crazy from anxiety.
"Seventh Brother, hurry up and catch up!"
All in all, no matter what, they did not expect that their royal father's decree would be delivered at this time, and coincidentally, had bumped into it.
"Is there still a need to chase after me?" Chu Yin pulled hard on his chest, the pain making the veins on his forehead bulge up.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chu Tiange was the most beloved daughter of the Emperor of the South Kingdom. Although the Eunuch Cheng was the popular person beside him, once Chu Tiange takes action, the Eunuch Cheng would definitely not speak carelessly.
However, Chu Yin did not seem to have the intention of chasing after him.
She glared at him angrily. "Seventh Brother, are you scared now?"
Chu Yin bitterly smiled. If he did not submit, what could he do?
Was he able to reverse the flow of time, or did he have the foresight to prevent this decree from bestowing marriage?
Wei Qing must be really sad now, because he kept saying that he did not even know about the marriage ceremony, but now that the marriage decree had come, she would definitely think that he had been lying to her the entire time.
Chu Yin was very clear of her stubborn personality. It was because he knew that once the misunderstanding this time happened, it would be very difficult to explain it clearly.
Chu Tiange glared at him furiously, then ran out.
Xiao Qingqian had already carried Wei Qing onto the carriage. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and looked.
"Prince Chu, I seven …"
Xiao Qingqian narrowed his eyes, as waves surged within them. He emphasized clearly: "Princess, Qing'er is this king's consort, please pay attention to her name! Do not put the Prince Qi and the Prince Qi Concubine, and even this king's consort in an unjust place! "
Chu Tiange's mouth was wide opened, there were clearly many words that could refute him, but when facing his eyes that were filled with anger, she could not utter a single word.
How could the situation become so complicated?
Xiao Qingqian snorted heavily and boarded the carriage. Just as the carriage was about to leave, he lifted the carriage's curtain and spoke with a face as cold as frost, "This king and my wife are preparing to leave the Southern Kingdom today.
Finished speaking, he unhappily put down the curtain and squeezed out the two words, "Set off."
Chu Yin watched as the carriage gradually moved further and further away, until it finally congealed into a single point, and the pain in his heart was thoroughly magnified to the extreme.
Abruptly, Chu Tiange felt a heavy aura of grief from Chu Yin's body, he turned to look.
"Seventh Brother, you really are …" You must not regret this! "
This time, Wei Qing left with a misunderstanding, adding the fact that Xiao Qingqian was by their side, they would definitely lose each other.
Chu Yin clenched his hand under his sleeve bit by bit, until all of the mixed emotions in his heart turned into a bitter smile.

The bumpiness of the carriage was extremely severe, and Wei Qing had a headache.
Although Xiao Qingqian had been carrying her in his arms the entire time to mitigate the impact of the bumpy ride, Wei Qing was still in a daze as he continued to mutter nonstop.
Xiao Qingqian lowered his eyes as he looked at her, and helped massage her forehead.
Wei Qing suddenly grabbed his hand, his brows knitted tightly, and muttered: "Why?"
It was as if a pair of hands was forcefully pulling inside of Xiao Qingqian's heart. He took a deep breath and muttered, "Because you and I are fated to be together!"
No difference in fate?!
Sparkling tears rolled down from the corner of Wei Qing's eyes, coincidentally falling onto the back of his hand. The scorching heat quickly spread to his heart, making him feel as if a knife was twisting around his heart.
The carriage was about to cross the border to the north when the dark guard suddenly noticed that someone was following them.
Xiao Qingqian raised the curtains and looked outside, frowning.
Even so, if Chu Yin still refused to give up, then don't blame him for being sinister!
Watching the carriage enter the Northern Kingdom, Chu Yin held onto the reins tightly.
He would never marry Princess He Yue!
By the time they arrived at the magistrate court, the night was already very dark.
Seeing Xiao Qingqian carrying the pale-faced Wei Qing into the room, all the hidden guards wiped away some sweat for him.
"Your Highness, do you want to call for a doctor for the wangfei?" Chen Cheng asked.
"Not for now!"
"But the wangfei …" Chen Cheng glanced at Wei Qing worriedly, but hesitated to speak.
"This King is here, so all of you go out first! "In addition, prepare some rice porridge which is thicker."
"Yes sir!"
Xiao Qingqian stared at her face for nearly an entire night, and when the sun was about to rise, Wei Qing finally opened her eyes slowly.
Suddenly meeting Xiao Qingqian's bloodshot eyes, she was shocked.
"This is …" His gaze quickly swept across the room, "You're back in the Northern Kingdom?"
"Yes." Xiao Qingqian looked at the deep crease between her brows and said solemnly, "Everything is over."
Wei Qing did not reply, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Xiao Qingqian got someone to bring in some rice porridge, "Do you want to eat after washing up, or now?"
Wei Qing's gaze stayed for a moment on the steaming bowl of porridge in his hand, then shook his head and said, "I have no appetite."
"For a Chu Yin, do you even need to do this?"
He was not clear, but in the end, what could he not compare to Chu Yin?
Wei Qing stared at him, she wanted to return him back, but her eyes suddenly dimmed. She did not say anything, only turning her back to him.
Xiao Qingqian's hand that was holding onto the bowl of porridge tightened bit by bit. The veins on the back of his hand were knotted, and his entire body was emitting a heavy aura of suppression.
But, Wei Qing could not feel it.
Her mind was full of Chu Yin, all the orders and questions about the marriage.
Back then, at the isolation zone's wattled fencing, she had asked Chu Yin about the matter of bestowing the marriage on him. Chu Yin said that he did not know, but why did the edict deliver it over so quickly, does he really not know?
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't think of an answer. Her mind felt like it was filled with paste. She forcefully closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Xiao Qingqian decided to settle the matters at the south and return to the capital.
Another three days had passed. Wei Qing locked herself in her room everyday and thought of nothing.
Bang! With a loud noise, the door opened, and a tight aura quickly rushed towards Wei Qing.
Wei Qing couldn't help but tense up her back, and her heart was tight on her chest.
Xiao Qingqian strode forward and pulled her off the bed in a bad mood.
Its strength was great, and it was not gentle at all, causing Wei Qing's eyes to turn red, "What are you doing?"
