The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Qu Xiaoyou rolled her eyes and looked at Chan Mu unhappily, "Why are you still standing here? Go and see her off. Aren't you worried that it will be hard for her to walk after dark?"

Zenmu shook his head and sighed, "It's just a coincidence. I was going to come to your place anyway, but I was afraid that the difference between men and women would give people a chance to talk about me. I just happened to meet her on the road, so I went with her."

Qu Xiaoyou raised her eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "Are you explaining this to me?"

Zenmu moved his lips but said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

After hearing his explanation, Qu Xiaoyou felt much better. She moved aside to let him into the house and said, "Come in."

Chanmu refused without hesitation: "No, how can a poor monk enter Miss Qu's room in the middle of the night? It's not decent."

Qu Xiaoyou was helpless and asked, "What did you want from me originally?"

Zenmu handed her the juicy aloe leaf in his hand. "I happened to see aloe vera planted in your yard when I went out at night. I thought aloe vera could relieve toothache, so I picked some and brought them to you."

Qu Xiaoyou's eyes moved, and she looked down at the aloe leaf in his hand. Her heartstrings seemed to be blown by the breeze, making a moving sound of nature.

"You are... concerned about me?"

She gently took the aloe vera from his hand, and a rare bright smile appeared on her usually cold face.

A pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be lit up in an instant, and her smile was as bright as spring flowers and as beautiful as the bright moon.

Zenmu's eyes flashed with surprise, then he lowered his head and said calmly: "It just happened that I saw aloe vera when I went out at night, and happened to think that aloe vera can cure toothache. It just happened that...monks are compassionate."

Qu Xiaoyou was not discouraged by his deliberate denial. On the contrary, she felt even happier.

After following him for so long, this is the first time he has paid attention to me, no matter what the reason is.

"With so many coincidences, can't it be possible that... you just happen to like me?" She blinked her bright big eyes and stared at him with her head tilted.

Chanmu immediately shook his head, "No! I am a monk, I hope Miss Qu will give up this idea as soon as possible."

After saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye to her and turned around to leave as if escaping.

"Wood!" Qu Xiaoyou called her and asked, shaking the aloe vera leaf in her hand, "How can I use aloe vera to relieve toothache? It hurts so much that I am dying."

Zenmu paused, and without turning his head, he replied, "Peel off the skin and hold the transparent leaf flesh in your mouth where your tooth hurts."

Qu Xiaoyou rolled her eyes, trotted over to him, pouted and said, "But I don't have any sharp tools in my room, so I can't peel it. I see you have a pair of scissors, why don't you help me peel it?"

Zenmu looked down at the scissors in his hand, but couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

I had no choice but to take the aloe leaf from her hand, split it with the scissors, gently cut off the aloe skin with the blade, and handed the tender and juicy aloe flesh to her.

"Ah~" Qu Xiaoyou opened his mouth like a child waiting for candy.

Zenmu was stunned, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He sighed softly and put the aloe vera in his hand into the left side of her mouth.

Qu Xiaoyou endured the sourness of the aloe vera flesh, made a bitter face, and used the tip of her tongue to pick up the aloe vera flesh to the location of the aching tooth.

Not to mention, when the aloe vera flesh is applied to the gums, a cool touch comes and relieves a lot of pain.

"Mu..." She was about to speak, but Zenmu suddenly made a silent gesture to her and said seriously, "Apply the aloe vera pulp and you won't be able to speak."

"..." A few black lines slowly flowed down Qu Xiaoyou's forehead. Why did she feel like she was being tricked?

Zenmu curled the corners of his mouth, exhaled deeply, turned and left.

The next morning, the sky was clear and the air was bright. A ray of light appeared on the eastern horizon, carefully soaking the light blue sky. A new day gradually moved towards us from afar.

As soon as Xia Younan got up and opened the door, he saw Qu Zhengyan waiting at the door.

He explained to them bitterly that he was drunk and talking nonsense last night, and asked them not to take his words to heart.

It would have been fine if he didn't explain. Once he did, they both felt like he was trying to cover up something.

But they were just guests after all, so it was not appropriate for them to interfere too much in his affairs.

"Dad, why are you here?" Qu Xiaoyou greeted him as he walked over.

When Qu Zhengyan saw her, he immediately went over to her and stroked her cheek with great concern, his brows knitted into knots. "My dear daughter, does your tooth still hurt? It's all your fault. I forgot you had cavities and shouldn't have bought you a candied haws."

Qu Xiaoyou pouted in grievance, took his hand and placed it on the other side of her face, "Dad, my daughter's diseased tooth is over here."

"Uh..." Qu Zhengyan laughed dryly twice, looking embarrassed.

Xia Younan sighed silently, and felt more and more that Qu Zhengyan's love for Xiaoyou was a little strange. She even felt that it was a bit of a performance.

Qu Xiaoyou didn't argue with her father, and asked him with a slightly sad look in her eyes: "Dad, the anniversary of Mom and my brother's death is coming soon, aren't you going to pay tribute to them this time?"

The smile on Qu Zhengyan's face gradually froze, replaced by deep sadness.

He sighed deeply and said with a sad face: "You know, the death of your mother and your brother was a huge blow to me. It drove me crazy for a while."

"For so many years, I have never dared to face them. I was afraid that once I saw them, I would recall the fire and their burnt bodies."

As he spoke, he seemed to really recall that horrific scene. He became emotional, and his eyes were filled with fear and grief.

"So I never dared to go. I couldn't control my heartbreak. I even wanted to end my life right away to accompany them. My poor wife and children, it's all my fault for not taking good care of them!"

The more Qu Zhengyan spoke, the more pain he felt, and finally he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Qu Xiaoyou was heartbroken to see him like this, and hurriedly patted his back to comfort him, "Dad, don't be like this, your daughter understands how you feel. If you don't want to go to mom's death anniversary this time, then don't go. Don't cry."

"Hey, hey." Qu Zhengyan agreed, gradually stopped crying, and patted her shoulder with a look of relief.

"Then I will trouble you to go and pay respect to your mother the day after tomorrow. Remember to express your father's longing for her and tell her that you will go to accompany them when you are done with your life."

The day after tomorrow? Qu Xiaoyou looked a little unhappy. After a moment's silence, he said sadly, "Dad, my mother and my brother's death anniversary is tomorrow."

Qu Zhengyan was startled, his face suddenly turned pale and blue, he hesitated for a while, and then explained in panic: "I'm sorry, daughter, the prince came recently, and dad was always thinking about how to entertain the distinguished guest, so I was so busy that I was dizzy, so..."

Qu Xiaoyou sighed helplessly. Although she felt a little resentful that her father had even remembered her mother's death anniversary wrong, she couldn't blame her poor father.

Their conversation made Lu Xiuyuan and his wife suspicious.

They couldn't understand why Qu Zhengyan, who was so affectionate and heartbroken over the death of his wife and children one minute ago, got his wife and children's death anniversary wrong the next minute. This was really not in line with common sense.
