"Bang, bang, bang"

Xie Qiao felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, but he never expected that Lu Jue would directly break the matter.But it's so logical: this is Lu Jue, the Lu Jue who is too open and upright to tolerate any ambiguity.

Even on this kind of matter, even if I have struggled with it, but in the end I will completely pick it apart.Once he has figured out some tricks, his pride will never allow him to cover up—he will not allow himself to cover up, and he will never allow the other party to back down.

Xie Qiao's throat moved: Lu Jue is such a person, attracting so many people to rush to him like moths, wanting to monopolize everything about him.However, it is obviously easier to lose him than to get him, because his heart is so upright and proud, he will not tolerate any ambiguity.

You either love it or you don't.There is no longer any buffer room.

If you don't get him, you lose him forever.

Xie Qiao felt that he couldn't afford to bet at all. If he lost Lu Jue, he didn't know what he would do.

Xie Qiao was resting on Lu Jue's lap, and Lu Jue could naturally feel Xie Qiao's beating heart at this moment. He just looked at Xie Qiao's eyes rolling with various emotions, and stopped talking, as if to wait an answer.

There was a moment of silence.

Lu Jue gave a rare sigh, and then covered Xie Qiao's brows with his icy cold hands, as if he was sighing or ordering: "Qiaoer, talk."

His eyes were covered by Lu Jue's palm, so Xie Qiao couldn't see Lu Jue's expression at this time.He felt like he was on a final trial.Either become an adult or become a demon.

His throat moved again, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Huaiyu, what do you think of Ling Daoyuan?"

Lu Jue frowned slightly, and there was a simple question in his words: "At this time, why do you mention him? Could it be that he wants you to bite me?"

Xie Qiao: "..."

No, it's not that he wants me to gnaw on you, it's that he, like me, longs to gnaw on you every day.

Look, that's it.Xie Qiao thought.Brother Huaiyu, I don't have you now, but there is still something special to you after all, but once you break through...Once you know what I think and covet you, I will be the same as Ling Daoyuan, Excluded from your world by you, become a dispensable person.

Just like Ling Daoyuan in the previous life, after he made it clear, he never got a single look from you, and you never said a word to him since then.

But, it's time for this...

Now that Lu Jue has asked the question like this, he will not accept any obscure cover-up and perfunctory.

Lu Jue felt Xie Qiao's brows and eyes burning under his palm, and he looked at Xie Qiao's fair chin, and at Xie Qiao's lips pursed into a line.He has raised him for nearly ten years, so he naturally understands his every word, deed, and every little move.So he knew that Xie Qiao was upset.

However, there is always an answer, and there is always an answer to bet on.Xie Qiao did that to him, and he deserved this answer.

Xie Qiao's throat rolled, and some crystal drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It's a big gamble.

"What time is it tonight, the boat is in the middle of the boat. What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince..."

Xie Qiao's voice was deep and hoarse, a little trembling and seemed to have a hot temperature.

However, the following words could not be uttered no matter what, as if blocked by something.

There was another moment of silence.

"Ah."

Lu Jue let out a chuckle, his brows and eyes were bent like a crescent moon in the sky, and the radiance in his eyes was like the bright stars in the sky.It's a pity that Xie Qiao's eyes were covered at this time, so he couldn't see it.

His heart was beating like a drum, and he could barely breathe.Like a sinner, he awaits the outcome of a judgment.

"Brother Huaiyu?" He couldn't see Lu Jue's expression, so he didn't know what Lu Jue's chuckle meant just now.

"Qiaoer," Lu Jue's voice contained a smile, but Xie Qiao's ears were filled with his own heartbeat, so he couldn't hear it at all.He said, "You are the prince."

There are boats and rivers, and the boats travel in the middle of the river, and there are princes in the boats.This "Yue Ren Song" really fits the occasion.

Xie Qiao was taken aback: "That's it?"

Lu Jue nodded: "That's it."

Xie Qiao: "..."

Lu Jue turned to look at the bright river outside the window, and said, "Qiaoer, just sleep for a while, and you'll be home when you wake up."

Xie Qiao: "..."

Now he wished he could fall asleep immediately, but he also wanted to be able to fall asleep.With the current situation, he doubted that he would never sleep in the future.

……

During the whole process of crossing the river, Xie Qiao's heart was up and down, so he didn't care about the pain.

When the boat stopped at the ferry, Lu Jue raised his hand, and saw that Xie Qiao was not asleep, but just stared at him with wide eyes.

It was rare for Lu Jue to see Xie Qiao like this, so he felt a little strange at this time, so after watching for a while, he tapped Xie Qiao's forehead together, raised his eyebrows and said, "Get up. Let's go."

Xie Qiao got up obediently, seeing that he couldn't recover for a while, Lu Jue took his wrist and walked outside.At this time, Xie Qiao was very obedient, but obediently let others pull her.

After getting off the boat and reaching the shore, the old doctor's family members were already waiting there, so the old doctor came to say goodbye to them.

"What's wrong with him?" Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xie Qiao's abnormal look.

"It doesn't matter to him." Lu Jue released Xie Qiao's wrist, bowed to the old doctor, and said, "This trip is thanks to you. Lu Jue thanked you here."

The old doctor smiled and said: "It should be, it should be, if General Xiao Lu has other things in the future, feel free to come to the old man."

A gentle smile appeared on Lu Jue's face: "Thank you."

After the old doctor left, Xu Laicai stepped forward anxiously, and asked Lu Jue, "Lord Lu, what's wrong with us, Your Highness?"

Lu Jue glanced at Xie Qiao, then smiled and said, "He's fine. You," he cast a questioning look at Li Mingbei again: "Why don't you go ahead with Master Li? Master Li is going to enter the palace, you have to go back to the mansion , you are on your way."

Just as Xu Lai was about to say that he and His Royal Highness were on the same road, Li Mingbei stood in front of him, saluted Lu Jue, and said with a smile: "Then, Eunuch Xu and I will go first." Xu Lai left without tears.

Lu Jue watched their backs drifting away, then turned around, looked at Xie Qiao, and said, "How about we go another way today?"

Xie Qiao glanced at him with dark eyes, then nodded.

Lu Jue smiled, stepped forward and pulled Xie Qiao's wrist, and walked into the crowd.

……

It is the beginning of spring now, and the peach blossoms in Jinling have just opened. Although the weather is warm and cold, it is finally getting warmer.It's a good time to enjoy flowers.

Lu Jue pulled Xie Qiao into a small road, which can also lead to their house, but it needs to be a longer detour.Both sides of this road are full of peach blossoms. At this time, the blue floor tiles are slightly damp, and there is a light and moist fragrance of peach blossoms in the air. The pinkness is connected on this road like clouds, reflecting the white walls and black tiles in the south. It is beautiful tight.

The flowers are blooming so well, so there are naturally many people. There are small vendors under the peach blossom trees on both sides of the road, and the faces of the people who come and go are full of joy.

This is the best fireworks on earth.

With a smile on his face, Lu Jue didn't speak, just dragging Xie Qiao to walk on this street.A gust of spring breeze blew, and pink and flimsy petals fell on the two of them. Lu Jue didn't care, but Xie Qiao didn't care.

He didn't know what Lu Jue was thinking or what he wanted to do, so he was in a state of agitation, and he was not in the mood to appreciate flowers at all.

One by one, intentionally and the other unintentionally, they wandered around the road to the end. At the end of the road, turning a corner was Xie Qiao's palace, and two streets away from the palace was Lu's mansion by the Qinhuai River.

At the end, Lu Jue stopped.There are very few people here, so the peach blossoms are very luxuriant. Lu Jue walked under a flower tree with his hands behind his back, then stretched out his hands, and folded off the best blooming flower. He held it gently in his hand After picking it up, she looked back at Xie Qiao under the flower tree, with a smile on her face: "Let's continue walking."

After walking a few more steps, we arrived at Xie Qiao's palace.

Xie Qiao looked at Lu Jue, who raised his eyebrows and said, "Extend your hand."

Xie Qiao stretched out his hand, and Lu Jue put the branch of peach blossom in Xie Qiao's hand, and said, "You go back. I'm going back too. Qiaoer, take a good rest."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away gracefully.

Xie Qiao: "..."

Xu Lai took the shortest route, so he returned home earlier than Xie Qiao.Therefore, as soon as he left the mansion at this time, he saw his highness standing in front of the mansion with a dark face in a daze.

He felt that His Royal Highness had been acting abnormally since he disembarked from the boat, so he became even more anxious when he saw Xie Qiao's appearance.

He stepped forward, only to see that His Highness was holding a branch of peach blossom in his hand, just now he was staring at the peach blossom in a daze, but his complexion was completely dark, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Your Highness?" He stepped forward and patted Xie Qiao's arm lightly, and said, "Shall we go home?"

Xie Qiao glanced at him and said, "What is this?"

"Peach...flower branch?"

"What's so special?"

Xu Lai stared at the branch of peach blossom, his eyes almost turned into mung beans, and finally he could only tremblingly say: "This... blooms very well?" He looked left and right to see that it was indeed a branch of...an ordinary flower branch, Jinling peach blossom It's open, if His Highness wants, he can pick a sack...

Xie Qiao carefully put the flower branch in his hand into his sleeve, and said, "Let's go, go home."

I can only ask later.

In the boat, although he didn't finish reading the ballad, but he had picked enough, but he didn't count Lu Jue's reaction like this.

Did not agree, but did not refuse.This is not like Lu Jue's temperament at all.

Tonight, He Xixi, the boat is in the middle of the stream.What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.Be ashamed and be good, don't be ashamed.The heart is so stubborn and inexhaustible, I know the prince.

And the last sentence:

There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and the heart is happy, but you don't know...

Xie Qiao stepped into the threshold of the palace, and sighed in a rare way: There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king does not know...

Mountains have trees...

Xie Qiao paused and opened his eyes wide.

He quickly pulled out the branch of peach blossom in his sleeve, because the action was too hasty, a few buds fell off...

Xie Qiao looked at the branch of peach blossom and gasped more and more, and her heart beat faster and faster.

"Your Highness? What's wrong with you?" Xu Lai looked at Xie Qiao, who was staring at the flower with wide eyes, worried.

Xie Qiao withdrew her steps "shua", and said to Xu Lai, "I'm going out for a while." After speaking, he turned around and strode in one direction, holding the delicate and burning peach blossom in his hand.
