Chapter 470

Xiao Xixi explained in a low voice: "The situation was very urgent at that time, and those people were about to arrive at the Qingge Hall. If I did nothing to wait for your return, those people would definitely take me away."

Luo Qinghan: "Even if they take you away, Gu can save you."

Xiao Xixi's voice became even smaller.

"I don't want to trouble you."

"Before you were beaten by the queen for me, I don't want to see you hurt again."

Luo Qinghan was stunned.

He didn't expect that after so long, Xiao Xixi still remembered the slap that Empress Qin gave him.

Even he himself almost forgot the pain caused by that slap, but she still remembered it silently.

She would rather suffer by herself than let him go through that kind of pain again.

Luo Qinghan clearly felt that his heart was melting.

He had never felt such warmth before, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

After a long time, he made a slightly hoarse voice.

"Gu won't stand stupidly and be beaten again."

"I can protect myself, and I can protect you."

Xiao Xixi remembered the picture of him openly contradicting Empress Qin for her, and the way he did not hesitate to protect her in front of her at the juncture of life and death...

She answered softly.

"Ok, I know."

Luo Qinghan said, "You don't know."

He put his forehead on Xiao Xixi's forehead, his voice was low and hoarse, hiding the helplessness that only he knew.

Since he tore his face with Empress Qin, even the Qin family gradually distanced themselves from him.

Without the support of the Qin family, his situation in the court immediately became difficult.

Especially recently, in order to prepare for the Spring Festival Exam, almost everyone fell to the ground to support Qin Lie, but Luo Qinghan, the prince, was pushed out as a marginal person.

In order to gain the right to speak, he had to devote more energy than before, and sometimes even if he knew that the other party was deliberately nitpicking, he had to be patient and negotiate with the other party.

He can't be angry, and he can't show even a hint of cowardice.

He must always arm himself so tightly that those who try to suppress him cannot find a chance to attack.

Tired?

Naturally tired.

Qin Lie had hinted to him privately more than once that as long as he was willing to bow his head to Queen Qin and admit his mistake, the Qin family could continue to support him as the prince.

Just bowing your head, it's really nothing.

Ke Luo Qinghan resisted the pressure and did not bow to the other side.

He didn't want face, he just didn't want to disappoint Xiao Xixi.

Xiao Xixi accompanied him from birth to death, shed tears for him, and did not hesitate to become rivals with fellow brothers and sisters for him. She has done so much for him, if he can't even bear this pressure, what face does he have to face her?

He even thought as a bachelor, it doesn't matter even if he is really pulled from the crown prince, anyway, there is Xiao Xixi to accompany him.

But what if even Xiao Xixi was gone?

Then he really has nothing.

He must be crazy.

Luo Qinghan's voice trembled a little, as if he was forcibly suppressing something, with a thrilling sense of forbearance.

"You don't know how important you are to me."

Xiao Xixi's heart trembled slightly.

She wanted to pretend to be relaxed and say that it was nothing. Anyway, she was invulnerable to all poisons. Even if she ate arsenic, she would not die.

But when she touched Luo Qinghan's black eyes that were full of too much emotion, she finally couldn't say it.

She asked softly, "How important can it be?"

Luo Qinghan's fingers brushed her cheeks, pressed them against the back of her neck, and rubbed them carefully.

"You are the light on my way forward, and the motivation for me to get back up after I fall."

"As long as you are here, I can move forward without fear."

Xiao Xixi felt a dense sense of soreness in her heart.

She didn't expect that he would take her so seriously.

She always thought that she was just a trusted partner to him.

"I don't deserve this," she whispered.

Luo Qinghan looked at her pale face and said earnestly, "Is it worth it, I know in my heart."

Emotions are like drinking water, and only he knows the bitterness and sweetness of it.

As long as he thinks it's worth it, that's fine.

As for what others think, he doesn't care.

Xiao Xixi stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her face in his neck.

"Don't take me so seriously, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Her voice was a little vague, but Luo Qinghan could still hear it clearly.

His fingers run through her hair, stick to the back of her head, and caress gently, a gesture with a touch of reassurance.

He said, "It's too late for you to say this now. Even if you can't afford it, you can only endure it. Who told you to choose me when so many people didn't choose? In the end, it was you who provoke first. Mine, you have to be responsible to the end."

Xiao Xixi: "What if I regret it?"

Luo Qinghan: "You have no room for regret."

"You are too domineering."

"Well, you'll get used to it."

...

The two rubbed their ears together.

Luo Qinghan's embrace was too warm, Xiao Xixi chatted and gradually felt sleepy.

She fell asleep unconsciously.

Luo Qinghan gently put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and kissed her too pale lips before getting up and walking out.

At this time, it was already dark, but the poisoning had not been found out, and he could not sleep.

The moment he walked out of the bedroom, the softness in his eyes disappeared.

He closed the door with his backhand, along with his own tenderness.

When he turned around again, he returned to the cold and cold prince familiar to everyone, and the invisible armor condensed around him again, making him exude the indifference that no one from birth should enter.

Baoqin and Eunuch Chang, who were waiting at the door, greeted him.

Luo Qinghan: "Come here."

Baoqin and Eunuch Chang followed him to the side hall.

Luo Qinghan asked Baoqin to tell the whole story from beginning to end.

What she said was similar to what Xiao Xixi said.

Luo Qinghan listened quietly.

Usually this kind of thing happens, it must be investigated from the inside.

But Luo Qinghan believed in Xiao Xixi's ability, and if there was a ghost in Qingge Hall, she would definitely be able to see the clue from her face.

Since she didn't see anything, it's very likely that this incident was not the work of an insider, but an outsider.

Luo Qinghan asked: "Is there any outsiders in and out of Qingge Hall recently?"

Baoqin answered truthfully: "Yes, Concubine Li, Concubine Bai, Duan Liangdi, and Yao Zhaoxun often come to Concubine Xiao to play mahjong. Every time they come, they bring a palace maid with them."

Luo Qinghan: "Remember the name of the maid next to them? What does it look like?"

Baoqin nodded: "Slave remember."

Luo Qinghan said to Eunuch Chang next to him.

"You ask someone to call Zhao Xian."

...

Tomorrow will explode, good night~
