Chapter 60 "What a fool."
"I did not do it on purpose……"
Xie Qinghuan couldn't control himself, his voice was trembling.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she felt so powerless.
Accustomed to being high and mighty, she almost forgot...
I am just a little girl!
At that moment just now, she felt so helpless!
If Chu Hanxiao wasn't here, she didn't know what would happen...
Of course, if it weren’t for Chu Hanxiao, she wouldn’t have put herself in danger.
How could Chu Hanxiao not know this?
I failed to protect her and let her get scared...
He was almost blaming himself to death!
Hearing her whisper like this, my heart was broken.
I hugged her tighter, wishing I could merge her into my bones and blood!
"I know... I don't blame you! Don't be afraid, it's okay..."
He stroked her back and lifted her up.
Cover her eyes so she can't see the blood.
He took her out of the hut and then let go of her big hand.
"I'll take care of it."
His voice was low and hoarse, but like the abyss, it carried an inexplicable attraction.
It always makes people obey unconsciously.
Xie Qinghuan nodded.
It was obvious that he was about to leave, and he clung to it tightly like a little koala.
"Chu Hanxiao..."
She pulled his arm and buried her little face in his upper arm.
"I'm afraid..."
These two trembling whispers...
Even steel that has been tempered a hundred times can become as soft as silk...
Chu Hanxiao was so soft-hearted.
He smoothed her long hair and kissed the top of her head.
"Be good...I'll be back soon."
"I do not……"
Xie Qinghuan refused to let go.
Chu Hanxiao had no choice but to give up and just sat under the tree holding her.
Pat the back to comfort him.
Xie Qinghuan sat on his lap and put her arms around his neck.
Her head rested on his shoulder.
The faint fragrance from her hair went straight into Chu Hanxiao's nose.
He suppressed his wild thoughts and patted and comforted Xie Qinghuan.
Listen to her sobs gradually subside.
The breathing gradually became steady.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
When I thought about how she had just said to me in a panic that it was clean, I felt a dull pain in my heart.
How could he dislike her?
He will only feel sad...
"What a fool."
He tilted his head and kissed her lips gently.
He held her in his arms and slept for about an hour.
The sound of horse hooves approaches.
Chu Hanxiao recognized the sound of Xie Tingzhou reining in his horse.
Gently wake her up.
"Qinghuan, your brother is here."
"my brother?"
Xie Qinghuan's eyes were swollen and just as he was about to reach out to rub them, he was held down by Chu Hanxiao again.
"Dirty hands."
The sound was so soft that it seemed like it could squeeze water out of it.
Xie Qinghuan gradually regained consciousness and recalled the palpitations he had just experienced.
My nose feels a little sore again.
When she heard Xie Tingzhou dismount and anxiously called her name, she couldn't stop crying...
"Qinghuan! Qinghuan...are you, are you hurt? Brother is late!"
Xie Qinghuan stood up and threw herself into Xie Tingzhou's arms with her pretty face.
"elder brother……"
I cried so hard that I was out of breath and couldn't speak.
Xie Tingzhou is going crazy.
He hugged her and patted her back.
He held her arm again and checked.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xie Qinghuan shook his head.
I raised my red eyes and saw...
Xie Tingzhou's originally smooth jaw was now covered with stubble.
The bruises under my eyes are also very heavy.
It was obvious that he had been looking for her all night without any rest.
She buried her head in her brother's chest again.
Extremely wronged.
Xie Tingzhou was relieved to see that she was not injured.
He looked at Chu Hanxiao with reproach.
Seeing that he was covered in injuries, he didn't say anything.
Chu Hanxiao held on to the tree, stood up with difficulty, and saluted him.
Xie Tingzhou frowned and said coldly:
"Do you know who did this?"
Chu Hanxiao hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
Xie Qinghuan raised his head with a firm look in his eyes.
"It's Chu Yongji!"
Xie Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Why do you say it's him?"
"It must be him! I embarrassed him at the engagement party, and he already holds a grudge against me!"
Anyway, she wouldn't say it was because of Chu Hanxiao's identity.
Xie Tingzhou thought for a moment and nodded:
"I'll check."
"Yeah! Check him!"
He comforted Xie Qinghuan with a few more words.
The old man who helped her report the news and Prime Minister Xie's large army had just arrived.
When Xie Zhiqiu saw that Xie Qinghuan was fine, his old legs also went limp.
He leaned against the door and gasped.
Shocked.
"Qinghuan, you are going to kill my father..."
Xie Qinghuan felt a little aggrieved and murmured an apology:
"Dad, I'm sorry for making you worry..."
This also surprised Xie Zhiqiu.
His daughter actually apologized to him?
How did you become so well-behaved!
He must have been frightened by the assassination...
"I'm glad you're okay, come here and let daddy take a look!"
"Um……"
Xie Qinghuan and his daughter have a warm relationship.
Chu Hanxiao saw the old man about to enter the yard.
He covered his wound, staggered to block the old man, and looked at Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou was surprised and received the signal from Chu Hanxiao.
He signaled Yu Shu to give him ten thousand taels of silver.
"Old man, Qinghuan is in trouble now, thanks to you, this small gift is not enough to show my respect.
But... please allow us to rest before we go."
The old man didn’t know if there was something wrong with his mouth or what.
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He just nodded and bowed.
He stared at the silver note in Yu Shu's hand, rubbed his hand on his clothes, and took it.
He picked up the little yellow dog with one arm and walked out of the yard.
Chu Hanxiao breathed a sigh of relief, his body swayed a bit, and was supported by Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou turned around and looked at Xie Zhiqiu and Xie Qinghuan.
"Father, please take Qing Huan back first. I will go check and see if there is any clue about the assassin."
Go inside and deal with the body.
Xie Zhiqiu had no doubts.
He took Xie Qinghuan into the carriage.
Xie Qinghuan could no longer sit still after just a short while.
She was worried about Chu Hanxiao.
"Dad, I'm so sleepy. I want to go to the big carriage and take a nap."
Xie Zhiqiu loved his daughter, so naturally he had nothing to say.
But when he saw her calling Chu Hanxiao as soon as she got off the car, he felt a little sad.
"Alas, a girl cannot be kept at home when she grows up..."
He thought to himself that after this incident, his daughter would probably become even more dependent on that little guard!
I don’t know if it’s right to let it develop…
Xie Qinghuan, however, completely ignored his father's thoughts.
He just helped Chu Hanxiao into the carriage with a concerned look on his face.
Help him check the wound.
"We need to deal with it right away when we get back, to make sure it doesn't get infected."
Chu Hanxiao remained silent.
Just staring at Xie Qinghuan.
The pain made me feel dazed.
Xie Qinghuan felt extremely distressed and helped him lie down on the soft step.
I wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Just bear with it, the pain will go away after you take some medicine when you get home."
Chu Hanxiao closed his eyes as a response.
"Are you hungry? Would you like some cakes?"
How could Chu Hanxiao still feel hungry?
I squinted my eyes and watched her bring over the pastries.
Seeing her again, she suddenly remembered something.
His eyes lit up, and he took out a small sweet potato from his arms...
Chu Hanxiao curled his lips weakly.
I laugh at her stupidity...
Returned to the prime minister's residence.
After Xie Zhiqiu gave Xie Qinghuan a few words of advice, he hurriedly took Chu Hanxiao back to Yueqiong Garden.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, he closed the bedroom door tightly.
After helping him treat his wounds, I simply slept next to him.
Chu Hanxiao had a good sleep and his injuries recovered a lot.
Thanks to Qinghuan, he has a very special physique.
As long as you get enough rest, injuries will heal faster.
When I opened my eyes and saw her sleeping next to me, I was not surprised.
Tentatively, he gently embraced her.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xie Qinghuan, who was curled up into a small ball, shrank into his arms.
Tears glistened in the corners of my eyes...
