Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce
Chapter 408: The Little Palace Maid Reluctant to End Her Life (15)
The rustling sound of cloth rubbing against each other came from the quiet cave.
Qin Huai tied his robe again in silence.
The light in the cave was getting darker and darker. He used the tinder he carried with him to light a pile of weeds and dead branches, to protect himself from wild beasts and to see more clearly.
Mu Zhou and Qin Huai sat on the same side. The bright firelight cast a long shadow on the stone wall.
When Qin Huai raised his eyes, he saw that the two shadows were very close. Mu Zhou moved to add more firewood, and the two shadows instantly overlapped, as if they were entangled in an ambiguous way.
A moment of wandering thoughts caused the restlessness that Qin Huai had just suppressed to rise up uncontrollably again.
He stood up suddenly:
"I'll go out and take a look."
Mu Zhou paused in adding firewood and looked blankly at the figure who was leaving in a hurry.
Her eyes turned slightly, and she also stood up and went outside.
Mu Zhou trotted a few steps to catch up with him, subconsciously tugged at his sleeve, and quickly pulled it back the moment Qin Huai stopped.
She bowed and said with her head lowered:
"Your Highness is still injured, how can you walk around? I will wait outside, Your Highness, just rest in the cave."
Qin Huai was caught off guard by her following him. His peripheral vision swept across the corner of his sleeve, and he expressed his confusion at her words:
"Why are you waiting outside?"
Mu Zhou pursed his lips, still frowning:
"I am of low status and unworthy to stay in the cave with Your Highness. It was I who almost forgot the rules."
Although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a deep sense of loss in his tone.
After saying this, he became much gloomier.
Qin Huai frowned and subconsciously explained:
"I have no such intention."
He left not because of any idea of superiority or inferiority, but...
He looked at Mu Zhou with a dim look in his eyes.
How could I tell her those shameful thoughts?
But his denial did not change Mu Zhou's expression. Her face was still pale, and the red mark at the corner of her eye could be faintly seen.
Those are the marks of crying.
Qin Huai suddenly remembered the tear that fell on his cheek before she fell off the cliff.
At that time, her tearful eyes were full of helplessness and begging.
My heart seemed to be squeezed for a moment.
Qin Huai pursed his lips, his eyes unable to stop falling on her.
The summer evening breeze blew a strand of long hair on her cheek.
She was also wearing a dark blue riding suit, which was the uniform of the palace maids and eunuchs.
Mu Zhou did not wear any hairpins or pearls, but only used a headband to tie up her long black hair. After the chaos of falling off the cliff, her hair was half draped over her shoulders, looking a little messy.
Qin Huai clenched and unclenched his hands behind his back.
After struggling for a moment, he said helplessly and pretended to be calm:
"I just came out to take a look, let's go back."
After saying that, he hurried back to the cave, looking as if he was fleeing in panic.
Mu Zhou smiled and curled his eyes, then followed him back into the cave.
*
Qin Huai sat down again and closed his eyes to rest.
He seemed to be sitting casually, but his whole body was tense with strength.
He originally closed his eyes to avoid Mu Zhou's soft and harmless, yet alluring eyes, but once he closed his eyes, the aura that belonged only to Mu Zhou attacked him unscrupulously.
It disturbed his mind.
Qin Huai estimated the distance and it would take at least an hour for the guards to find him.
He would hold on for another hour.
In order to divert his attention, Qin Huai began to think silently in his heart about the next laws to be implemented and how to arrange the vacant positions.
Think about every detail of each link.
After some effort, he finally managed to calm himself down a little.
Just then, he noticed a change in the atmosphere in the cave.
Qin Huai opened his eyes and saw Mu Zhou sleeping against the wall, his head nodding unsteadily.
The next moment when she was about to slip, Qin Huai acted before thinking, and instantly moved in front of Mu Zhou and supported her shoulders.
The fragrance, warmth and softness of the jade were in his arms again, and the thoughts that Qin Huai had suppressed with great difficulty resurfaced.
But this time, he only paused for a moment before slowly putting his arms around her shoulders.
Mu Zhou's tender cheek rested on his neck, and the soft touch was inseparable from his skin.
It was as if lovers were talking about something private.
This definitely exceeded the proper boundaries between the Crown Prince and the young palace maid.
Thousands of emotions flashed through Qin Huai's mind, but in the end, they were all frozen into Mu Zhou's eyes with tears in them, looking at him with pity.
Qin Huai looked unusually calm.
His rough hands touched her back, tightening slightly to bring her closer to his arms.
Qingjun's face looked like he had made some kind of decision.
Qin Huai has lived on thin ice since he was a child. The older he gets, the more intimidating his personality becomes, and he keeps his distance from women.
Mu Zhou was an accident.
He thought that this surprise would disappear with the wind after the payment of money and goods, but who knew that the beautiful figure took root in his heart and became clearer and clearer.
He felt very uncomfortable, especially when he realized that Mu Zhou seemed to make some exceptions for his father.
Until he found out that she was willing to risk her life for him.
He knew that he could no longer escape.
Since you can no longer control it, just follow your heart.
He gently stroked Mu Zhou's hair that fell on his shoulders, a glimmer gleaming in his dark eyes.
Mu Zhou, since you took the initiative to approach me, you are not allowed to have any other thoughts.
He could attribute the past events to Mu Zhou’s youth and ignorance.
As the crown prince, he naturally would not vent his anger on her for such a harmless matter.
It's just that I'm a young girl with poor taste in love, and he can be magnanimous and tolerant.
What he wants is her future.
*
More than half an hour passed and Mu Zhou showed signs of waking up.
Qin Huai lowered his head and kissed the top of Mu Zhou's head, then reluctantly pushed her back against the stone wall.
He could feel that Mu Zhou was still a little uneasy and afraid of him. In order to prevent her from being frightened and completely retreating, Qin Huai planned to proceed step by step.
She would be his eventually, anyway.
As soon as his body touched the cold and hard stone wall, Mu Zhou slowly opened his eyes.
She blinked her misty almond-shaped eyes again and again before she recalled the situation at the moment.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously and murmured softly:
"How did I fall asleep?"
Mu Zhou has a good voice, and the words he speaks are always soft and delicate, which makes Qin Huai feel mixed.
He rolled his Adam's apple, looked away slightly, and coughed lightly:
"The guards should be here soon."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the cave first.
There will be many people around, and he and a little palace maid will be alone in the cave. Who knows what kind of unpleasant words will be said.
He didn't care. No one dared to gossip about him. He was just worried that her life would be difficult.
Mu Zhou also understood, so he followed him not too far away.
Soon, she saw tiny sparks of fire in the distance.
finally saved.
*
It was already late at night when Mu Zhou returned to Zhaoqing Garden, and Shu Fei had already gone to bed.
Just as she returned to her room, she heard a light knock on the door. She got up and opened the door in confusion.
The person who came was a familiar little palace maid.
