‘Furious’ simply couldn’t be used to describe Xiao Chen’s present mood. The woman who had walked out of the w.a.n.gfu’s door finely dressed, was at this moment appeared really poor and embarra.s.sed sitting on the dirty ground. There were grievances in her eyes when she lifted her gaze to stare at him. Such a delicate look really made people feel pity towards her.
They dared.
They dared to treat Jing Yue like this.
“Let’s go back home and eat.” Xiao Chen slowly crouched and extended his hand towards Jing Yue.
“En.” Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Jing Yue smiled widely in an instant. She stared at Xiao Chen’s extended hand. Instead of taking and using it as a support to stand, she directly threw herself into Xiao Chen’s embrace and hugged his neck before saying in m.u.f.fled voice, “Want to be hold, no strength to walk.”
“All right.” Xiao Chen’s body suddenly went stiff and his expression turned somewhat heavy hearing the m.u.f.fled words that came from beside his ear. He gently carried Jing Yue up in his arms.
The guard outside the Punishment Hall widened his eyes when he saw Xiao Chen walked out carrying Jing Yue. He pondered for a while and then took a step forward, bowing towards Xiao Chen and said, “Ninth Huang Shu, the Consort G.o.ddess has ordered that she cannot be brought out, she hurt Consort G.o.ddess’ face.”
“Get lost.” Xiao Chen stared at the guard in front of him and coldly spat those murderous words out. The guard was frightened, his face turned extremely pale. In the end, he hastily retreated to the side.
Jing Yue turned her head around to look at the guard who was scared and had retreated. She lowered her gaze and spoke softly, “Xiao Chen, have I gotten you into trouble?”
“En, it’s troublesome.” Xiao Chen gloomily nodded. He lowered his gaze staring at Jing Yue who was nestled in his embrace and said, “Next time, don’t make me enter the palace to pick you up again. It’s troublesome.”
“Ei?” Jing Yue was dumbfounded. She lifted her gaze to stare at Xiao Chen’s cold, expressionless face. A thread of peculiar feeling suddenly flashed in her heart. It just seemed like in this life, the originally restless heart of hers suddenly found a haven it could rely on.
It was obviously nothing but simple words.
But they were indulging her.
Why?
Jing Yue stared at Xiao Chen in confusion. She didn’t understand why Xiao Chen would treat herself so differently. They obviously hadn’t known each other for a long time. Jing Yue had never believed the so-called love at first sight, she also wouldn’t be so narcissistic to believe that the high above Xiao Chen would suddenly fall for her, to this wild teenage girl.

“Xiao Chen, let’s go and find the Consort G.o.ddess.” Jing Yue suddenly said. Xiao Chen who had just taken a step out of the Punishment Hall halted his footsteps. He frowned and confusedly stared at Jing Yue as if he was inquiring why.
“Although you don’t think I’ve gotten you into trouble, but I still feel uncomfortable if the matter isn’t made clear. Let’s go find Consort G.o.ddess, ok?” Jing Yue lifted her gaze staring at Xiao Chen while saying so.
“En.” Xiao Chen took a glance at Jing Yue’s face. Confirming that Jing Yue voluntarily wanted to go and not because of any other reasons, he agreed and carried Jing Yue onto a palanquin, going towards the Palace of Bright Zither. Throughout the whole journey, Xiao Chen held Jing Yue in his embrace, never putting her down.
Jing Yue also didn’t pull her hands back, she kept hugging Xiao Chen’s neck and stayed that way during the whole journey towards the Palace of Bright Zither.
When they arrived at the Palace of Bright Zither, they found that a crowd had gathered inside, the Emperor, the Empress, and every respected consort were there. Jing Yue and Xiao Chen’s arrival didn’t create too much of a surprise. It seemed, someone had already notified them when Xiao Chen took Jing Yue out of the Punishment Hall.
“Xiao Chen, you better give me an explanation.’ The Emperor was clearly very angry.
Jing Yue, with her embarra.s.sed and messy appearance, stood just like that in front of everyone. Everyone’s gaze fell on her body, looking at her up and down.
