Chapter 519: 260 Ingenious Plan (First Change)_4
The Crown Prince: “Is it incurable?”
Xiao Liulang: “I don’t know.”
A cripple is admittedly not as perfect. The Crown Prince cleared his throat, then asked, “What is your relationship with the Marquis Residence of Xuanping?”
“No relationship at all,” replied Xiao Liulang carelessly.
He doesn’t appear to be like his cousin in the least.
His cousin wouldn’t be so indifferent. His cousin respected him greatly and was always happy when he saw him. His cousin’s smile was warm, unlike this icy man before him.
However, the resemblance in facial features was striking, as if his cousin had come back to life, save for the tear mark under the right eye that was absent.
The Crown Prince’s face turned a bit pale.
In a low voice, Eunuch Huang said, “Your Highness, are you okay? Should I…take Mr. Xiao away for now and have you question him another day?”
The Crown Prince waved his hand, signalling Eunuch Huang to step down. He looked at Xiao Liulang and asked earnestly, “Do you like chestnuts?”
“I do,” replied Xiao Liulang.
His cousin didn’t.
The Crown Prince then asked, “Do you eat spicy food?”
Xiao Liulang replied, “Yes.”
The Crown Prince made a gesture, and a palace maid brought a bowl of spicy dried meat.
Xiao Liulang glanced at the dried meat sprinkled with chili pepper, didn’t even flinch, carefully picked up a small piece with his slender, polished fingers, and ate it slowly.
The Crown Prince watched him intently, not missing a single reaction.
His cousin couldn’t eat spicy food at all, even a little spiciness would make him stick out his tongue. This level of spicy dried meat would definitely turn his face red and his ears hot.
However, Xiao Liulang ate quite comfortably.
The Crown Prince couldn’t explain why he felt a sense of relief.
Xiao Liulang left the imperial palace.
Under the boundless dusk, the Imperial City was enveloped in warm, orange hues.
Liao Quan’s carriage was parked near the Imperial Palace. Xiao Liulang limped over to it. Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he noticed Gu Jiao was already inside waiting for him.
Gu Jiao was leaning against the carriage wall, her eyes half-closed as if she were asleep, looking quiet and obedient.
Xiao Liulang cast an unintended glance at her soft lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. He quickly averted his gaze and got on the carriage.
The carriage jolted slightly. Gu Jiao woke up. She opened her eyes, saw him, her eyes lit up, “You’re here.”
“Mhm.” Xiao Liulang sat down on the long bench opposite her.
Liao Quan cracked his whip, and the carriage wheels began to turn.
When Priest Lao bought this carriage, he never considered it being used by another, hence, the space inside was quite small. When these two sat inside, their breaths quickly intertwined.
The sky at the end of April, it’s really hot.
Xiao Liulang thought.
“Last night… I drank too much,” he muttered.
“Mhm.” Gu Jiao didn’t seem to mind.
Xiao Liulang calmed himself, “It won’t happen again.”
“Mhm?” Gu Jiao looked at him in puzzlement.
Xiao Liulang avoided her gaze, his fists tighten on his lap, and said seriously, “I won’t get drunk again… and behave that way towards you.”
“Oh.” Gu Jiao looked disappointed.
Seeing a flash of disappointment in her eyes, Xiao Liulang inexplicably became flustered, blurted out, “I… when I’m sober… ”
Gu Jiao: “Eh?”
Xiao Liulang was stunned by his own words. He swore he didn’t mean to say it that way! He intended to tell her that he wouldn’t make any frivolous moves towards her when his mind wasn’t clear. But how did his words change into something else?
When I’m sober…
What kind of person would say that?
This is such a frivolous comment, what a waste of all the education from the sages!
Xiao Liulang’s face turned redder, he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
“I… I didn’t mean it, I… I didn’t mean to…” Xiao Liulang found it difficult to say the two words.
Gu Jiao helped him out, “Didn’t mean to kiss?”
Xiao Liulang awkwardly, “Mhm.”
After thinking for a while, Gu Jiao counted with her fingers and asked, “Do you mean to sleep?”
“Um…” Xiao Liulang was shocked and shook his head vehemently, “No!”
