She recalled the scene she had just seen. He had lowered his head slightly and patiently chatted with Xiao Zhangping. His expression had been so gentle. How could he be so vicious when it came to her? Inexplicably, her teeth felt as sour as if she had bitten into a plum that ripened early in summer. Ning Shu smacked her teeth and felt a little upset.
She didn't admit her mistake and instead began to quibble. Xiahou Qing was so angry that he laughed. "It seems that you remembered the rules I told you to copy, but you didn't remember any of them in your heart. Jiusi, take her back and copy them all again."
？！！！
She had copied so hard and only copied a third of the rules. If she had to tear them up and copy them again, she would die!
"I know I was wrong!" Ning Shu immediately shouted and regretted her actions. "Heir Apparent was worried about my safety and made plans for me, but I didn't appreciate it. This is the first mistake. I fell asleep on the table at night. Heir Apparent was kind enough to cover me with a blanket, but I stole the official seal when you weren't paying attention. This is the second mistake. Heir Apparent didn't want me to interfere, but I deliberately did the opposite. This is the third mistake. Your Highness reprimanded me because of your deep love for me. However, I was impudent and talked back. This is my fourth mistake … In short, this subordinate has made a grave mistake. I ask Your Highness to consider that this is my first offense and forgive this subordinate. "
Her words were sincere, and her expression and tone were all on point. She was as soft as a pampered sparrow in his residence that accidentally pecked him when it flew over to eat. Then, she purposely used her soft little head to gently rub his palm as an apology.
He clearly knew that it was purposely showing off, but he couldn't bear to blame it.
However, this was Ning Shu. She was ten thousand times more cunning than that sparrow. There were so many twists and turns in her heart that she could calculate everyone in the capital. Xiahou Qing continued to wear a cold face and ignored her. With Jiusi's help, he turned and boarded the carriage.
Ning Shu smiled bitterly as she looked at his back. What should she do? She could only follow.
After helping Xiahou Qing into the carriage, Jiusi reported in a low voice, "Heir Apparent, Miss Ning's face is injured."
Xiahou Qing's sharp words were directed at Ning Shu. "What's going on?"
Ning Shu braced herself, lifted the curtain, and boarded the carriage. She sat across from Xiahou Qing and said indifferently, "Oh, this. I was accidentally scratched by a tree branch. It's just a small wound, and the blood has stopped flowing."
Xiahou Qing was extremely sharp. "Was it done by the thirteenth princess?"
Ning Shu wanted to continue to laugh and brush him off, but Jiusi said, "The wound is slanted upward, from deep to shallow, and the wound is smooth. If it was scraped by a rough branch, it wouldn't be like this. It would look like it was cut by a knife or broken porcelain." After he finished speaking, he expressionlessly retreated under Ning Shu's murderous gaze. He sat in the driver's seat and drove the carriage back to the palace.
"…" Tsk, were all the people around Xiahou Qing freaks? Wasn't it said that Jiusi's specialty was strategy? How could his eyes be so sharp?
Ning Shu could only admit, "After Her Highness found out that Old Consort Yu's death was related to me, she broke the cup in a moment of grief and anger. A small piece of porcelain flew out and accidentally brushed my face. She didn't do it on purpose."
"Other than this, did she make things difficult for you?"
Ning Shu didn't even think about it. "No."
Xiahou Qing raised his eyebrows suspiciously. "You answered so quickly. You're lying. Moreover, with the thirteenth princess's temperament, once she gets angry, it won't be easy for her to calm down. Ning Shu, if you're lying to me, do you believe that I'll teach you a lesson that you won't forget for the rest of your life? "
"I really didn't. The princess was very angry and said some things to me. However, she also knew that if she wanted to avoid the marriage, she still had to ask Heir Apparent for help. Therefore, she only made things difficult for me verbally and nothing else. I swear to the heavens. "
Ning Shu was obviously taking advantage of Xiahou Qing's blindness. She put up four fingers and said, "Four". She wasn't a saint who wanted to cover for Xiao Zhangping or anything. However, she just didn't want to tell him what happened just now.
She didn't want him to know that she was embarrassed. She didn't want him to know her embarrassing side. She also didn't want him to have any contempt or sympathy for her because of this. She also didn't want him to apologize. She hoped that in front of him, she would always be the bold and fearless Ning Shu who was always in her best state.
Seeing that Xiahou Qing didn't ask any more questions, she gently exhaled, thinking that she had passed this stage. She didn't expect that when she was about to put down her hand, Xiahou Qing suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
