Chapter 12 "You don't want to marry me? You want to be my brother?"
Chu Hanxiao's face was calm.
But my heart is in turmoil.
Can she really be cured?
Can he speak too?
Just like other princes, like all normal people?
He never thought about it, he didn't dare to think about it...
Even at this moment, he still couldn't believe that what she said was true!
But I can't help but look forward to it...
If he could speak, he could regain his status as a prince!
At worst, you can escape from the prime minister's residence and learn a skill so that you won't become a slave and be bullied everywhere!
He clenched his fists secretly.
The heart is like a drum.
"Eat a few more bites and take care of your body. We still have a lot of things to do!"
This time, I don’t want you to be called a tyrant again!
We go to the Imperial College and we also learn how to govern a country!
Chu Hanxiao's clenched fists suddenly loosened.
He heard her say, We...
she?
The eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion!
With him?
The stinky dog she calls...
He and she are so different, are they qualified to be called us?
but……
If he could really cure muteness...
As a prince...
Are we really qualified to be with her?
never!
If he could return to the palace, he would definitely settle the score.
All the humiliations he had suffered must be taken back one by one!
The stinking monks who didn’t give him food were expelled from Foguang Temple;
Xie Lingzhou, who liked to whip him, skinned him!
And her...
Think about...
What should I punish her with?
He remembered that she liked eating meat very much!
Just punish her by not letting her eat meat for a month!
One month... isn't it a bit long?
Considering how dedicated she has been these past few days...
Just punish her for a few fewer days!
Three days...
Chu Hanxiao was daydreaming as he ate mouthful after mouthful of the meat porridge that Xie Qinghuan fed him.
Until Yuzhu came to the door and reported:
"Miss, Prince Yong's Mansion sent a letter."
The throbbing in his heart suddenly froze.
From the spine to the waist and abdomen, from the shoulders and elbows to the fingertips...
Inch by inch.
Chill all over the body...
How could he forget!
She is already engaged to Chu Yongji.
On their wedding day, Chu Yongji will become emperor.
If so, even if his voice is restored...
He can't go back to the palace!
We can't do it with her!
Chu Hanxiao was a little depressed, but Xie Qinghuan didn't notice.
Just look back and give orders.
"Bring it in."
She was curious about how Prince Yong, whom she had always admired, would react if his marriage proposal was rejected.
Put down the little meat porridge left.
She took the letter from Yuzhu.
I opened it and took a look.
The whole article is full of curses.
She snorted and laughed, thinking:
This idiot, is this the attitude he uses when asking for help?
He casually returned it to Yuzhu.
When I think of what he wrote in the letter, about his embarrassing appearance of 'restricted food intake after house arrest'.
Xie Qinghuan is in a good mood!
He instructed Yuzhu with a smile.
"Tell Yutong to keep an eye out and let her know when brother comes back."
"Yes."
Yuzhu retreated with the letter in her hand.
There was a magical scene where the sun was shining brightly on the table side, but dark clouds were covering the bed side.
"Yuluo, medicine for wounds."
Yu Luo heard the order and brought in the medicine.
It was amazing to see that Xie Qinghuan was so concerned that he wanted to feed the medicine himself.
She dared not hide it anymore.
Kneeling on the ground with a plop.
"Miss, this servant... this servant..."
Xie Qinghuan was stunned for a moment and put down the still hot bowl of medicine.
Deep voice.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Miss...I failed to serve him well. Last night, I was unable to help him change the medicine..."
Xie Qinghuan frowned and turned around to look at the wound hidden under his coat.
Sure enough, the bloodstains were of varying depths.
Some places are even hardened!
She slammed the table angrily.
This actually scared Chu Hanxiao.
"Pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, is this how you serve me?"
"I dare not! I... am..."
Yu Luo curled up on the ground and shivered.
Chu Hanxiao frowned when he saw this.
Than Dao.
[It was me who didn’t let her touch me.]
"What do you mean?"
Xie Qinghuan suppressed his anger and asked Yu Luo, who was shaking like a sieve.
"He said... he didn't want me to touch him..."
Xie Qinghuan's anger subsided a little, but he still asked in a stern voice.
"Why didn't you report it last night?"
"I...I heard from Sister Yutong that the young lady finally fell asleep...I dare not disturb her..."
"You still dare to quibble! Twenty slaps on the hand, go down and receive the punishment!"
Yu Luo sobbed twice and retreated on her knees.
But I was also feeling lucky in my heart.
Twenty strokes of the hand is already a very light punishment.
I thought I would be suspended for three days...
Xie Qinghuan picked up the medicine bowl angrily and said:
"If you don't teach her a lesson, she will become even more aggressive and neglect you even more in the future!"
Chu Hanxiao felt mixed emotions when he saw this.
After leaving the palace for so many years...
No one has ever protected him like this...
Even when he was in the palace, the servants took advantage of his inability to speak and often treated him harshly and neglectfully...
He really was a little confused.
Why on earth are you so nice to him, you unruly young lady?
It's been several days.
Based on the eldest lady's previous temper, she would have lost interest long ago!
But she has been so nice to him for so many days!
If this continues, he will really...
Seeing Yu Luo holding her slightly swollen hands, she came back to serve him sobbingly.
He gestured with a hint of guilt:
【It's not her fault.】
Yu Luo glanced at Xie Qinghuan and translated truthfully.
Xie Qinghuan snorted coldly:
"She is here to take care of you. If she is not competent, I don't mind replacing her with someone else."
Upon hearing this, Yu Luo knelt down in panic.
"Miss, I know I was wrong. I will do my best in the future! If you have any questions, please report them to me in time!"
Xie Qinghuan said nothing and she didn't dare to stand up for a moment.
She didn't speak until the hot medicine had cooled down.
"Get up."
"Yes……"
Xie Qinghuan fed Chu Hanxiao the medicine.
Get up and change his bandage.
When he took off his coat, the tips of his ears turned red.
He is fourteen this year!
She is also engaged...
Is it really okay to be so honest with each other?
That's fine with him.
If I can't cure my throat, I'll be nothing more than a horse-raising slave!
But she is different...
She is the daughter of the prime minister and will be the queen in the future!
Young lady from an aristocratic family, reputation is so important!
If people knew that she kept another man in the house and undressed him...
This……
If this gets out, Chu Yongji will definitely break off the engagement with her!
Thinking of this, he felt a little sad and had mixed emotions!
While thinking, only other princes will have a chance if the engagement is cancelled;
At the same time, she thought, she liked Chu Yongji so much, she chased after him every day, and she was so happy to receive a letter!
If the engagement is broken off, I will cry again...
He clenched his fists and raised his hands to hold down the coat that was about to slip off his shoulders.
He gestured as if by some strange coincidence—
[You are engaged to Prince Yong, so I should be considered your elder brother.]
Yu Luo, the translator, was so frightened that her voice became much lower.
Xie Qinghuan was also stunned and asked in disbelief:
"You want to be my brother?"
Seeing her eyes widened in surprise like black grapes, he felt a little regretful.
he……
That's not what I meant.
She shook her head in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.
The hands that were helping him take off his clothes also loosened.
He staggered two steps hesitantly and finally stood firm with the help of Yu Luo.
Grabbing Yu Luo's hand, he asked her in disbelief:
"Did you translate it wrong?"
"Miss, no..."
Yu Luo also looked at Chu Hanxiao and shook her head slightly.
Xie Qinghuan was completely confused.
How is it wrong...
So outrageous?
Chu Hanxiao...want to be my brother?
"You don't want to marry me? You want to be my brother?"
After hearing these words, Chu Hanxiao was stunned.
Yu Luo also knelt on the ground in fear.
Is the young lady crazy, or am I crazy?
What did I hear...
She will silence him!
