Go to Qingqiu together

Chapter 12

Hearing what the prime minister said, Xu Qingjian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his actions just now had misunderstood the prime minister. Even though he was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to explain it, so he just stood there silently.

At this moment, Shen Xubai chuckled lightly.

Hearing Shen Xubai's laughter, Xu Qingjian thought he had heard it wrong, but when he raised his head, he happened to meet Shen Xubai's eyes, and saw a sneer on the corner of Shen Xubai's mouth, as if telling him, He'll be done in a minute.

Xu Qingjian suddenly felt like crying.

"Since the prime minister has noticed it, then give this king some face." Shen Xubai said to the prime minister, withdrawing his gaze from looking at Xu Qingjian.

He didn't even deny it!

Xu Qingjian opened his eyes wide, and looked at Shen Xubai in disbelief.

And the prime minister was no less shocked than Xu Qingjian, he didn't expect that Shen Xubai, who was just a male favourite, would risk tearing his face apart to keep him.

Shen Xubai took a sip of the tea that Xu Qingjian made for him, and said casually: "I'm usually spoiled by me, so he's a bit lawless, but he's not bad-hearted, so he probably didn't intend to offend Young Master Li today. , since he has also apologized, don't worry about it if you still hope the prime minister."

These words can come out of Shen Xubai's mouth, it is enough to show how much he dotes on Xu Qingjian, and Cheng's face changed with anger on the spot.

As for Xu Qingjian's cheeks flushed, she didn't dare to look at Shen Xubai anymore.

"Anyway, he just offended our family, Jing'er!" The prime minister was really angry: "Well, since the prince hasn't played enough, then I won't hurt him, I'll just take him back to the prime minister's mansion to replace him." The lord taught him some rules, and he will return him unharmed afterwards."

Now his Jinger is still losing his temper in the room, he has to take Xu Qingjian back to make Jinger vent his anger.

As the prime minister's words fell, Xu Qingjian immediately looked at Shen Xubai, waiting for his decision.

Although he was very afraid that Shen Xubai would agree, but he didn't dare to go up and hug Shen Xubai's thigh directly like before.

Naturally, Shen Xubai also noticed Xu Qingjian's nervous eyes looking at him, he didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he was thinking that this person was really worthless, and he was always worried about what he would send him out for.

Even if he hates Xu Qingjian now, he wouldn't hand him over just to get along with the prime minister. What can Xu Qingjian do?

"I don't need the prime minister to discipline my people, and I will punish him later." When Shen Xubai said this, he didn't even look at the prime minister, apparently he didn't want to continue talking.

After finishing speaking, Shen Xubai stretched out the teacup in his hand.

Standing aside, Xu Qingjian watched Shen Xubai's movements, and stayed there for two seconds, making sure that he wasn't going to put it on the table, and quickly stepped forward to take it, held it in his hand and continued to stand.

"Butler Liu, let's see off the guests." Shen Xubai said lightly.

Steward Liu has been standing in the corner waiting for a long time, upon hearing Shen Xubai's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to the prime minister: "Prime Minister, it's getting late, this old servant will take you home."

Seeing that Shen Xubai had directly issued the order to evict the guest, his face flushed red with anger, he nodded his head vigorously after a long while, and said angrily: "Okay...Okay, it seems that Prince Ning's residence wants to completely antagonize me."

"The Prime Minister's words are serious." Shen Xubai said in a calm tone, not salty, "It's so late, be careful that you're exhausted, you'd better go back and rest early."

Having said this, the prime minister also knew that Shen Xubai's intentions were obvious, he would never hand over Xu Qingjian no matter what.

So he didn't continue to talk nonsense with Shen Xubai anymore, he just snorted heavily, shook his sleeve robe, and said angrily: "No need to give it away!"

After finishing speaking, the prime minister turned and left.

Although he had already said that he didn't need to send it off, Butler Liu still greeted him with a smile: "Master Prime Minister, this way please."

After the prime minister left, Xu Qingjian breathed a sigh of relief and put his whole heart into his stomach. Then he carefully looked at Shen Xubai, only to see that Shen Xubai was also looking at him.

Xu Qingjian thought of what Shen Xubai said just now, and couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and his cheeks became hot.

"My lord... how do you plan to punish me..." Xu Qingjian asked such a question out of nowhere.

As soon as the words came out, Xu Qingjian was stunned, and his face was as red as an apple.

Shen Xubai didn't expect Xu Qingjian to say this suddenly, so he was also slightly taken aback.

What he said just now was used to deal with the prime minister, so Xu Qingjian naturally knew it, so when Xu Qingjian said this again, the atmosphere felt a little strange.

Just now when Shen Xubai asked Butler Liu to see off the guests, he made all the servants in the main hall retreat by the way. At this moment, there were only him and Xu Qingjian left here. For a while, the whole hall was extremely quiet, so quiet that only the sound could be heard. The other party had some heavy breathing.

Xu Qingjian tightly clasped the wall of the teacup in his hand with his fingers, his knuckles turned white due to too much force.

Seeing that Shen Xubai did not speak for a long time, Xu Qingjian took a step forward, put down the teacup in his hand, and walked in front of Shen Xubai.

"I'm sorry." Xu Qingjian lowered his head, and suddenly apologized to Shen Xubai in a dull voice.

Shen Xubai came back to his senses slightly, looked at Xu Qingjian, and said in a cold voice: "I know I've caused trouble, so I'll be more peaceful in the future."

"It's not just about today's matter." Xu Qingjian said anxiously.

Shen Xubai's back was stiff, and his breathing became a little heavy. He just sat like this, without speaking for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Abai..." Xu Qingjian bent down, reached out and grabbed Shen Xubai's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Whether it's today or in the past, I seem to owe you too many apologies."

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, memories keep pouring into Shen Xubai's mind following Xu Qingjian's words, until he can't breathe.

"Is it useful for you to say this now?" Shen Xubai said through gritted teeth.

Xu Qingjian held Shen Xubai's hand a little harder, his drooping eyelashes kept trembling, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word, as if he was being choked by someone's throat.

"That day, why did you run away? Was it just because you had no face to face me again?" Shen Xubai looked at Xu Qingjian, and finally asked this question.

This question has tormented him for three full years.

Xu Qingjian's face turned pale in an instant, without a trace of blood, as if he was about to lose his footing.

So Shen Xubai simply put his arms around Xu Qingjian's waist, Xu Qingjian fell into his arms, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support his shoulder: "My lord..."

"Say it." Shen Xu stared at Xu Qingjian with his white and black eyes, not giving him a chance to evade this question.

That night, Xu Qingjian cut him from behind. At that time, he was injured so badly that he passed out before he could catch Xu Qingjian. After waking up, Xu Qingjian had disappeared. He was still there It's ridiculous to think that Xu Qingjian should just hide out of fear, and he will come back in a few days.

If Xu Qingjian came back to explain and apologize to him, he would forgive Xu Qingjian.

But Xu Qingjian never came back.

He already knew Xu Qingjian's identity three years ago. At that time, there was an assassin in the capital that caused the imperial court a headache. No one knew who he was, nor did anyone know his name. Assassinated several important officials in Beijing one after another. The queen mother sent him to arrest this person. It was only later that he discovered that the killer was Xu Qingjian, and the people Xu Qingjian killed before were all Yu Xiayun. unfavorable people.

Xu Qingjian is good at using knives, his knives are fast and ruthless, often able to kill with one blow, and will never leave any trouble for himself.

Perhaps it was because of those emotions that allowed him to laugh, Xu Qingjian didn't kill him with a knife, but that knife also made him walk through the gate of hell.

He lay on the bed for a full three months, almost failed several times, and finally survived miraculously, until the winding wound on his back was completely healed, Xu Qingjian never came back .

Due to anger, he didn't inquire about Xu Qingjian's affairs for three years, but that matter stuck in his heart, torturing him day and night for three years.

At this moment, Xu Qingjian was in his arms, and he wanted Xu Qingjian to give him an explanation.

"I..." Xu Qingjian looked at Shen Xubai with a pale face, with an extremely painful expression: "I can't remember many things at that time, it was only recently..."

"I just remembered it recently?" Shen Xubai took Xu Qingjian's words with a sneer.

Xu Qingjian nodded.

"You can even think of such a lame reason, but it's really hard for you." Shen Xubai's eyes were a little more ironic: "You might as well say that it was because the queen mother and the emperor were chasing you and you couldn't come back. I still believe it."

"Your Majesty..." Xu Qingjian repeated in a murmur.

"You want to say that the emperor's people are hunting you down, so you can't come back?" Shen Xubai asked with a sneer.

Although the emperor's people searched for Xu Qingjian for much longer than the queen mother, the emperor did not have real power in his hands, and he sent out not many people. After the queen mother stopped chasing and killing Xu Qingjian, Xu Qingjian obviously had Countless opportunities to come back.

In fact, Xu Qingjian had already forgotten why he didn't dare to come back to find Shen Xubai at that time, probably there were all kinds of reasons, but he really didn't dare to face Shen Xubai's questioning, this feeling was too uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xu Qingjian didn't answer his question for a long time, Shen Xubai only felt a burst of irritability, and then wanted to push Xu Qingjian away.

"Don't..." Xu Qingjian sensed that Shen Xubai was about to push her away, and immediately hugged him tightly.

Shen Xubai was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Xu Qingjian.

"Don't push me away...don't hate me, I really didn't mean it, you can treat me whatever you want, as long as you can forgive me." Xu Qingjian held Shen Xubai's shoulder tightly, his voice trembling in pieces.

Shen Xubai's breathing was extremely heavy, and he just looked at Xu Qingjian with extremely complicated eyes.

When he realized that he was shaken, he felt that he was really worthless, and Xu Qingjian had treated him like that, but who knew if Xu Qingjian was repeating the old tricks now, after all, he used to talk like this.
