Chapter 36: Is she using him as a substitute?
He left the bedroom only after the drug had worn off.
Hearing Xie Qinghuan's lazy yawn, he unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.
Following behind Yutong, leaning against the door.
Looking at the always unruly eldest daughter, yawning with messy hair...
It's also quite interesting.
Xie Qinghuan wasn't annoyed when he saw him, but he was a little dazed as he hadn't woken up yet.
I can't tell the difference between my past and present lives, and what day it is.
"Chu Hanxiao... have you left the court?"
Yutong was a little suspicious and helped her put on her clothes while gently reminding her.
"Miss, but I was dreaming..."
Only when she saw Yutong did she react.
"Ah... I forgot."
Then he laughed.
Chu Hanxiao's face darkened again.
Suspicion arose in my heart.
She changed his name to Chu Hanxiao;
And I care particularly about this face!
is not it……
Is there really someone named Chu Hanxiao in the court?
And he looks a lot like that guy...
She took him to the Imperial Academy;
He also found a martial arts master to teach him martial arts;
All for the sake of...
Could you be more like him?
She is using him as a substitute! ?
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly contracted!
I almost couldn't stand!
Xie Qinghuan was shocked.
"Chu Hanxiao, are you okay?"
Chu Hanxiao...
He doesn't like this name!
Turned back to the bedroom.
Xie Qinghuan was confused and told Yutong to quickly dress her up.
She was worried that he hadn't been able to stand steadily just now and that his injury might have worsened!
After getting dressed, she came to Chu Hanxiao's bedroom.
I saw him sitting at the table with his head down, looking depressed.
She lifted her skirt and spoke softly.
"Chu Hanxiao, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Hanxiao raised his eyes, wanting to ask her, but was afraid...
I'm afraid that if this is true, she might not want him anymore.
"What's wrong with you? Is your wound hurting?"
Xie Qinghuan wanted to hold his hand, but he pulled it back.
It made her feel very aggrieved.
"What...are you doing?"
Don't touch it...
Seeing her worried and frightened, he couldn't bear it.
He just turned around and quietly began to untie his belt and take off his robe.
He wanted to say...
The person you like is in a high position and is both civil and military.
He must be a gentleman as elegant as jade, right?
But he is not!
He has many injuries...
Different from that person!
But when only his underwear was left, he hesitated again...
If she dislikes him...
I don't want to use him as a substitute anymore, what should I do...
distinct!
The pride in his heart made him feel humiliated!
I should have spoken my mind without bending, and not been a substitute for anyone!
But he is...
I can’t say it!
Rather than being humiliated, he was more afraid of... losing her.
Xie Qinghuan watched him take off his clothes with bated breath, not knowing what he was going to do, and his eyes trembled.
She bit the handkerchief unconsciously and looked at him anxiously.
After seeing him struggle and hesitate, he frowned and slowly put his clothes back on one by one.
She didn't understand at all.
Taking two steps forward, she held down his hands as he was getting dressed.
"You haven't applied the medicine this morning yet, I'll help you."
Hearing the tentative and flattering tone in her voice, Chu Hanxiao sighed and finally put down his outer robe.
Xie Qinghuan undid his underwear, listened to his groans, and clenched her teeth.
"Does it hurt?"
Her eyelashes were wet and her eyes were cautious.
After taking off his coat, she went around his back and gently applied the medicine on him.
Seeing him suddenly raise his hand, my shoulders shook unconsciously.
Like a little rabbit that is easily frightened but still holding on.
Chu Hanxiao felt the change in strength, tilted his head and paused, then said:
[Isn’t it ugly? ]
He asked her if the wounds on his body were ugly.
Xie Qinghuan thought he was blaming her for her past abuse and felt uncomfortable.
Biting her lip, she held back.
Tears still fell on his shoulders like beans.
Chu Hanxiao frowned.
【Why are you crying? 】
Are you crying because of the ugliness?
He couldn't help but clench his fingers.
Afraid that she...disliked him.
unexpectedly……
Xie Qinghuan suddenly hugged him from behind.
The delicate little face rested on his shoulder, sobbing softly.
"Chu Hanxiao, I treated you badly before, please don't blame me, okay?"
Chu Hanxiao clenched his fists.
He turned around, held her in his arms, and patted her back to comfort her.
【I don't. 】
"Then why did you walk into the room and start taking off your clothes without saying a word?"
I……
Xie Qinghuan blinked her slightly red, tearful eyes and looked at him.
It was as if Chu Hanxiao had done something terribly wrong.
Even if she didn't, seeing her like this, he felt that he was wrong.
【I don’t like this name.】
Chu Hanxiao, who was pushed to a higher position, still said this.
Xie Qinghuan really didn't expect that he was...
I was stunned for a moment, and felt a little aggrieved.
"I'm afraid... calling you Chu Yanjing will expose your identity and attract assassination from the palace..."
She bit the moist red lips and then let them out gently.
"Then you can tell me what you want me to call you."
So simple?
Chu Hanxiao didn't expect that she would agree to his name change so easily.
I was suspicious.
Is it...
Did I guess wrong?
She doesn't treat me as a substitute?
[Why is it Chu Hanxiao? ]
He was confused.
Xie Qinghuan frowned slightly, seeming to be in trouble.
I don't know how to answer him.
You can't just say that because that's what it was called in your previous life!
"I don't know... because it sounds nice?"
She spoke nonsense, lowering her head and looking up at him.
It made him laugh uncontrollably.
He lifted her chin and asked again:
【What about going to court? 】
Ah!
It turned out to be because of this!
Only then did Xie Qinghuan understand.
It was just a slip of the tongue...
He is too alert!
She threw away the handkerchief and stood up from his arms.
"I was just confused due to sleep, and you are mad at me for that!"
She took the initiative and complained coquettishly.
Chu Hanxiao knew he was in the wrong.
He frowned and pursed his lips, then reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
The first time I bowed to her.
【Feel sorry. 】
This made Xie Qinghuan surprised and suspicious.
Really...
The sun comes out from the west!
Chu Hanxiao apologized to her?
It's clearly a hard bone that even a whip can't break!
Even in their previous life, the two of them quarreled fiercely!
The only way for him to surrender was to shamelessly stay in her palace while drunk!
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
She sighed and shook her head.
Seeing him raise his eyes in confusion, she playfully put her arms around his neck.
"Chu Hanxiao, you actually apologized to me?!"
Chu Hanxiao frowned, not understanding what was so strange about this?
Xie Qinghuan raised his hand to smooth his brows and said with a smile:
"It seems like you are the typical person who only responds to soft words and not hard words!"
is it?
Chu Hanxiao raised his chin slightly to avoid her restless fingers.
Noncommittal.
Speaking of which...
It seems like he has never bowed his head to anyone!
I was tortured so badly by her in the past that my neck is stiff.
But now...
How could it be so easy...
Just as I was wondering, Yuzhu came in from outside the door and reported:
"Miss, there's news from the mansion... Aunt Lin was robbed by bandits on her way to the Foguang Temple to pray for blessings! Unfortunately, she died."
died?
Xie Qinghuan stood up.
I was a little surprised, but then I understood.
"Either my father was so angry that he sent people to kill him, or the old lady tried to silence him!"
She shook her sleeves, feeling a little sorry.
"I actually wanted to ask her if there was any hidden secret about my father's life experience!"
