Chapter 13
"Is that true?" The man sitting high on the throne looked horribly pale.His eyes were dark and cold, making people shudder.

"Your Majesty! Everything I said is true!" The man kneeling under the main hall was crying with grief and anger. "Of course I am not willing to regret the marriage. It is true that the eldest daughter of the Huo family is extremely arrogant and speaks uncontrollably. If I marry into the royal family in the future, I’m afraid it will ruin the reputation of the royal family!”

After hearing this, the emperor's expression became even more ugly: "Let me think about this matter first! Get back."

After saying that, he waved someone to send him out, and then he got up and went to the Queen Mother's palace.

"Queen Mother, what do you think should be done about this matter?" The emperor came to the Queen Mother and asked seriously.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and glanced at him lightly: "The reason why we decided on this marriage was on the one hand to gain the unconditional support of the Huo family, and on the other hand to get that thing. Now the only person left in the Huo family is Huo Qidong. If we are of the same lineage, there is no need to continue this engagement."

"The Queen Mother is wise!" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"But -" the subject changed, and the Queen Mother continued, "Have you found that thing? Is it on Huo Qingluan?"

The emperor nodded, with worry and solemnity in his eyebrows: "When I returned to my mother, I didn't find that thing on Huo Qingluan. If there was, she would have taken it out and exchanged it with Huo Qidong, so why bother staying in the Huo family to suffer the consequences? Those tortures?"

"It seems..." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, lost in thought, and then slowly said after a moment, "Maybe she really doesn't have that thing on her body."

"This..." The emperor frowned and said unwillingly, "If we can't find clues about that thing from the Huo family, how can we find it?"

The Queen Mother sighed and looked up out of the window: "That person will definitely deliver the things to the hands of trustworthy people. If it is not in the hands of Huo Qingluan, then it can only be in the hands of his followers."

"The Queen Mother means..."

"The meaning of the Ai family is very simple. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find it!" The Queen Mother said decisively, with a firm tone, "Even if it bleeds like a river!"

"My son obeys the order."

……

The sky was gray, as if it was shrouded by something. Zhongdu City was a bit depressing. It seemed that even the air had become thinner, making it difficult to breathe.

In the street market, pedestrians walked in a hurry, their steps hurried, as if they encountered something shocking.

A gust of wind blew by, kicking up dust all over the ground.

A carriage stopped in front of the restaurant. The groom quickly jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said respectfully inside: "Miss, we're here."

Huo Qingluan responded softly and walked out of the carriage with elegant steps.She stretched out her delicate white hands to lift up her sleeves, revealing her delicate white wrists, and her long red dress was swaying on the floor.

"Miss." The maid Xiaocui held her arm and lowered her head and said, "I just made some inquiries and the man seems to have arrived."

"Yeah." Huo Qingluan replied lightly, then walked towards the restaurant with his legs up, "Let's go!"

……

In the private room on the second floor, Song Jiyang sat alone at the table drinking tea, waiting for Huo Qingluan's arrival.

Time passed bit by bit, but he was not in a hurry.

It wasn't until Huo Qingluan opened the door and walked in that he slowly put down his cup, stood up, and said with a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth: "Miss Qingluan."

Huo Qingluan raised his eyes and was slightly stunned when he saw her, "Qinglong?" She really didn't expect that this man would investigate her identity so quickly.

"Sit down." Song Jiyang asked Huo Qingluan to sit down, and asked the waiter to pour two cups of fragrant tea, then handed one cup to Huo Qingluan, "How about you try this fragrant tea?"

Huo Qingluan took it, took a sip, and nodded slightly: "Good tea."

"Haha, if you like it, I'll ask them to prepare fresh ones for you every day." Song Jiyang said with a smile.He was originally worried that the girl would dislike his arrangement, but unexpectedly she liked it. "No need to bother." Huo Qingluan waved his hand, "We are not that familiar."

"Miss Qingluan, how can you say you are not familiar with the life-saving grace? I have saved you twice." After saying that, he tapped his left shoulder with his hand, saying nothing.

Huo Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.

It turned out to be him!

How did he do that?
However, the next moment, her face turned completely dark.This man has already eaten up his own tofu, right?

"What on earth do you want to do?!" Huo Qingluan shouted coldly and gritted his teeth and said, "Breaking into a woman's boudoir at night is what a gentleman does?!"

Song Jiyang blinked and pretended to be innocent: "I just helped the girl, how can I be offensive?"

As he spoke, he pretended to be deep and thought seriously for a long time: "Oh... I forgot, the girl seemed to have secretly come to see me take a shower."

Boom!
Huo Qingluan's face suddenly turned red and he yelled angrily: "Who knew you would take a bath under the cliff! And... I didn't see anything at all!"

"Oh?" Song Jiyang raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Since the girl didn't see anything, why was she so angry? Could it be..."

He curled his lips ambiguously and raised them evilly: "Could it be that the girl actually covets my beauty, so she wants to take the opportunity to make me responsible?"

With a bang, Huo Qingluan's mind exploded, and his whole face turned red as if he was about to bleed.She glared at him fiercely and warned fiercely: "Shut up! Otherwise I will make it impossible for you to get out alive today!"

Song Jiyang shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless: "Okay! Since the girl doesn't like it, I won't say more."

"you……"

Huo Qingluan gritted his teeth, wishing to cut him into pieces.This shameless guy actually dared to molest her!If he hadn't saved her twice, she would have definitely made him pay the price!
No matter how annoyed Huo Qingluan was, Song Jiyang still looked calm and relaxed. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's talk about the topic!"

Aren't you the one who keeps talking nonsense? !

Huo Qingluan's whole body stiffened, and he gritted his teeth secretly, holding back the anger that wanted to spit out: "Say! As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to your life-saving grace!"

This was what she was thinking, but she regretted it after she said it.

After all, he saved her twice, and she should repay him well.But……

"Haha," Song Jiyang suddenly laughed and looked at her with interest, his eyes falling on her crimson cheeks, "Are you sure you agree to everything I propose? It's not difficult."

"I..." Huo Qingluan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I will definitely do my best." Anyway, I agreed to him, and at worst, I think I owed him my life!
Although he saved her twice, she always felt that he had evil intentions.

Song Jiyang restrained his cynicism and said solemnly: "Please marry me, girl!"

"puff--"

Huo Qingluan spit out all the tea in a mouthful, choking and coughing.

She stared at him in disbelief and did not calm down for a long time.

"What? You don't want to?" Song Jiyang frowned and asked aggrievedly with a hurt expression.

Huo Qingluan forced herself to calm down and said: "Master Qinglong, I don't even know who you are, but you suddenly came to propose marriage. This is too hasty."

 Sisters and brothers, please pay more attention, support and collect more, I love you~(*▽*)
