Quick wear: the host is really floating

Chapter 297 The Assassin She Was Beautiful 20
Xue Zhi nodded, took another look at the bowl of sweet soup placed on the corner of the table, walked to the bookshelf and began to browse casually.

There are all kinds of books on the bookshelf behind him, historical miscellaneous notes, human geography, good strategies for governing the country...

But most of those books are brand new.

Xue Zhi turned the pages, his eyes froze suddenly, there seemed to be a small mechanism in the corner of the bookshelf.

She turned around and glanced at Chu Zhao who was sitting at the desk reviewing the memorial, then turned around expressionlessly and put down the book in her hand.

It was quiet in the study room, occasionally there was the sound of Chu Zhao opening the booklet, other than that, only the sound of Xue Zhi's breathing was left.

Xue Zhi raised his hand to touch the bookshelf, pulled it imperceptibly, and then put his hand down without changing his face.

"It's getting late, it's good for the concubine to come and take a look. The king will rest early at night, and the concubine will go back first."

She slightly bent her knees, blessed her body and said.

The bowl of sweet soup was being placed alone in the corner. The man put down the pen in his hand, looked up at her, and said with a smile, "Wait a minute."

Xue Zhi raised his eyes to look at him.

The light brown eyes are calm and unwavering.

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled, he got up and took the bowl of sweet soup that was put aside, "Watch me finish drinking before leaving."

Xue Zhi was taken aback, "It's already cold..."

While she was speaking, the man had already drank the bowl of sweet soup in one gulp.

"I was too busy just now to take care of it." Chu Zhao put down the small bowl, his lips were bright red and attractive, "But this is the first time you have come to bring me soup, let alone cold, even if it is poisoned, I am the same Drink it clean."

Xue Zhi's fingers trembled, he regained his composure for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "It's snowing heavily today, the king should rest early after finishing the paperwork. The concubine will leave."

The voice is cold and emotionless, and the set of movements is generous and decent, making it impossible to find fault.

Chu Zhao just stood there and watched her leave, without holding her back or making any moves.

After the woman left, the man standing in front of the big case looked down at the small bowl on the table that still exuded a faint sweet aroma, and then raised his eyes to look at the place where the woman left, with a light and playful voice:
"You really are heartless."

……

The matter of Xue Zhi hurting his finger caused dissatisfaction among many concubines, and somehow this incident spread to the ears of the courtiers. Chu Zhao was annoyed by those veterans, but he seemed to have no intention of changing, and continued to go his own way If he has time all day long, he will run to Tianyue Palace.

After a few days, the gossip and rumors in the palace did not decrease but increased, even Xue Zhi himself heard a lot.

What a vicious culprit.

What a beauty.

Why is she a demon girl sent by the king of Qi, who put a gu on the king of Chu...

The gossip abounds.

But Chu Zhao himself didn't care, so why should she care.

It was her little maid who was close to her, who was extremely anxious.

Finally one day, the little palace maid risked her life to seize a gap.

She knelt down in front of Chu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, I know that I am a soft-spoken servant, but I still want to say that it may not be a good thing for you to dote on Jieyu like this."

The noble man stopped in front of her. The man squinted his eyes, and said in a cold and aggressive tone, "If I can hold her so high, I will naturally protect her."

The little maid was startled, and suddenly looked up at him, but the man had already walked away with a faint smile.

The little maid told Xue Zhi exactly what he had said, but Xue Zhi didn't seem to respond at all.

Her mind was already on the mechanism behind the bookshelf in Changchun Palace.

There must be something hiding there.

She had to find a way to see it.
