Chapter 233 - Cold War

"It was originally very ugly, and it even puffed up its cheeks. How unsightly." Xiao Qingqian intentionally teased her.

Wei Qing was so angry that her small face was alternating between green and red, "You're going too far!"

She was the one who helped him analyze the situation. It was one thing for him not to be grateful, but he even mocked her for being ugly. How could this person be so excessive?

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows and grabbed her hand, and while she wasn't paying attention, he pricked her with the needle in his hand.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Xiao Qingqian hissed, "What a despicable person!"

"Tch!" Wei Qing curled her lips, and looked at the captivating red on her thumb with great heartache.

"Are you better?" Xiao Qingqian asked with a frown.

Wei Qing untied the thread wrapped around her thumb, "It's OK."

Xiao Qingqian's face darkened, "Do you want to prick your thumb again?"

Her expression suddenly changed. "Are you addicted to it?"

The corner of Xiao Qingqian's mouth raised slightly, "Are you interested in taking a walk outside with this king?"

Wei Qing frowned as she thought about it, "Alright."

There were a few things that she really wanted to tell Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian opened the door, and was about to hold Wei Qing's hand, but Wei Qing quickly avoided it. He was a little resentful, and really did not know how much longer this lifestyle would last for.

Looking at the moon in the distance, he curled his lips bitterly.

No matter how long it lasted, he would always suffer the consequences of his actions. It was no wonder that this was happening to others!

Although the two of them were called strolling, there was always a so-called safe distance between them.

Xiao Qingqian originally did not want to say anything, but seeing that Wei Qing had this kind of cautious expression, because he was not in the mood to enjoy the peaceful night scene, he still stopped in his tracks.

"You are slightly closer to This King. Will This King eat you?"

Wei Qing was shocked, "It can't be?"

In the past, Xiao Qingqian would pinch her neck whenever he wanted to and treat her coldly, so she didn't want to try anything easily.

"There's a pavilion in front of us, let's go in and take a seat."

Wei Qing also had the same intentions, hearing this, she nodded.

There were two lanterns hung in the pavilion, and the moon was still in the shadows, giving it a different sort of charm.

Wei Qing sat opposite of Xiao Qingqian, enjoying this rarely seen beautiful scenery with satisfaction.

"Will you die if you sit by This King's side?" Xiao Qingqian asked with his mouth stretched tight.

Wei Qing frowned, "There's a seventy to eighty percent chance of that happening."

"Wei Qing!" Xiao Qingqian clenched his teeth and glared at her, "Do you know what the result of your arrows is?"

Wei Qing thought very seriously, and completely did not catch the meaning behind Xiao Qingqian's words.

"The string is broken?"

"You …"

Xiao Qingqian clenched his fists tightly. This damned woman, did she really not know, or was she just pretending to be stupid with him?

Wei Qing continued to look at the bright and full moon in the distance, and a homesick for some reason appeared in her heart.

Xiao Qingqian was originally angry at Wei Qing, but when he accidentally felt the sad aura coming from her body, his heart skipped a beat.

Could he be thinking of Chu Yin again?

When he suddenly sat down beside her, Wei Qing's breath tightened, and she was about to move her leg away, but Xiao Qingqian suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Who is this?"

With the great strength, Wei Qing felt like her bones could be crushed at any time.

"It hurts!"

The light in Xiao Qingqian's eyes dimmed a little as he firmly locked her slightly red eyes.

"Xiao Qingqian, you're hurting me!" Wei Qing shouted, twisting and turning her hand, trying to break free from's shackles.

Xiao Qingqian glared at her. "Wei Qing, there is a limit to how much this king can tolerate, don't provoke me again and again!"

Wei Qing also angrily glared as she asked, "Xiao Qingqian, is there something wrong with your head?"

She originally had something important to tell him, but now that she was interrupted by his harsh attitude, she didn't want to say anything anymore.

A scum like him deserved to suffer!

The patrolling guard saw the two figures in the pavilion from afar and hastily retreated.

When the two of them were the only ones remaining around the pavilion, Wei Qing bit him in annoyance, ran back to his former medicine hut, and firmly closed the door.

Xiao Qingqian stood outside like a statue, his hands continuously tightening, releasing, tightening …

It was not that Wei Qing was heartless, but that he had a heart of stone. What else could he do in order for her to see how good he was to her?

The sun rose and the night finally came to an end.

When Wei Qing opened medicine hut's door, she was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that Xiao Qingqian had been sitting here all night?

He opened his mouth a few times and was about to ask something, but after some thought, he realized that he had been so terrible last night, so why should he talk to him first?

His face was dark as if he hadn't seen him.

It was very difficult for him to forget someone, especially since he had heavily injured Wei Qing before. As long as she took the initiative to speak to him, even if she did not have any intention of apologizing, he could pretend that nothing had happened.

But, what kind of attitude was this?

She saw him, but she acted like she didn't see him!

Xiao Qingqian gasped for breath and walked towards the dining hall, just in time to see Wei Qing starting to eat.

Wei Qing looked up at him and did not say a word.

The maidservants at the side noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little off. They didn't dare to breathe, fearing that they would be used as cannon fodder.

Wei Qing ate and drank to her fill as fast as she could, and then left as though Xiao Qingqian was air.

Xiao Qingqian slammed his chopsticks on the table, causing the maidservants to shudder in fright.

In truth, he was no longer in the mood to eat. Xiao Qingqian straightforwardly stood up, changed his clothes, and headed straight to the palace.

Wei Qing was practicing shooting crossbows in the courtyard, according to the method that Xiao Qingqian taught her yesterday, her accuracy was getting higher and higher.

Seeing Die'er enter with a haggard face, she asked about Chen Cheng's current situation with concern, then continued to aim at him.

There were a lot of people talking outside. Wei Qing frowned, and asked with a clear voice what was going on outside.

"Go back to your consort, those concubines of the estate."

Wei Qing's brows furrowed even more.

Could it be that these women weren't completely scared of him and wanted to mess around?

Thinking about that, she put down the crossbow and called Zhu Er over, "See if there's anything wrong with it?"

Zhu Er sized Wei Qing up, "Royal Concubine is naturally beautiful, very beautiful!"

Wei Qing raised her eyebrows and rubbed her cheeks, trying her best to smile.
