It’s Going to Bite You!
"Jing Yue, what if you are accidentally bitten by the poisonous snake……" Xiao Chen said anxiously, and obviously disagreed with Jing Yue to keep it by her side .
"Don"t worry, it won"t bite anyone . " Jing Yue touched the body of the funeral flower and said, "Keep it by my side can prevent the "lecher" . " With that said, Jing Yue peered at Xiao Chen subtly, the implication of which turned his face black .
" . . . I hate it . " Xiao Chen said slowly, and pinched the funeral flower in his hand . His fearless behavior shocked Jing Yue .
"Oops . . . it"s going to bite you!" Jing Yue suddenly screamed when she saw the funeral flower becoming furious .
"Hiss . . . " The funeral flower widely opened its mouth and was about to bite Xiao Chen"s hand in no minute .
" It dares not . " Xiao Chen sit still and squinted at the funeral flower .
"Huh!!!" Jing Yue looked at the funeral flower in amazement, which quickly recoiled by the time its teeth just slightly sc.r.a.ped his hand as if it just touched something horrible . It crawled to Jing Yue at its fastest speed and seemed to be still suffering from the shock .
"What!?" Jing Yue almost felt the funeral flower"s fear as it hastened to crawl into her sleeve . She blinked at Xiao Chen, who was as calm as before, in complete puzzlement .
So-called the most poisonous snake!
Yet you dare not even bite a person!
Are you kidding me!
"I told you, it dares not . " Xiao Chen looked down at the tiny wound with a slight trace of blood on the back of his hand punctured by the funeral flower . He erased the blood with his hand and looked at Jing Yue with his lips curled, "Keep it if you insist . "
"Ok . . . " Jing Yue answered absently for she was still thinking about the reason .
"I"ve already explained the accident to the palace, and the etiquette a.s.sessment is delayed to June 10th . By then, your burn on foot would be healed and won"t influence your a.s.sessment . "
"Oh! You really did it!" Jing Yue felt so surprised with a glint in her eyes . She adoringly stared at Xiao Chen, "Why does the Emperor adopt your idea? Tell me, do you know anything about his secret deeds?"
" . . . " Xiao Chen stood up and gave Jing Yue a faint look, "It was General Shangguan who directly reported it to the Emperor, not me . "
"General Shangguan??" Jing Yue felt a little confused .
"Shangguan Hongwen, General Zhenwu who is mainly responsible for the defense of the capital city . " Xiao Chen paced casually in the room as he replied indifferently .
"Father of Shangguan Linglan?" Jing Yue blinked .
Xiao Chen paused his steps and answered, "General Shangguan is the Emperor"s favorite courtier, so his advice will definitely be considered . Besides, some other courtiers also proposed to delay the a.s.sessment for their frightened daughters . Therefore, the Emperor authorized the postponement . "
"So . . . you didn"t even say a word?" Jing Yue asked, her face frozen out of speechlessness .
Xiao Chen admitted straightforward .
"I shouldn"t have praised you! I take back what I just said!" Jing Yue muttered, lamely stood up and hopped to the bed . She glared at her burned foot with bandage and signed silently, "Alas! It hasn"t been long after I got out of the forest . Yet somehow, I just got myself hurt every day!!! Why?!"
