The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 693 - Qiao’er

Chapter 693: Qiao’er

Zhao Xuanjing suddenly felt a chill on his back hearing what Xie Qiao said.
He thought of the scene of Xie Qiao digging up the bones. It was truly unforgettable.
Xie Qiao tried her best to save her image. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. You also know that I, Half-immortal Xie, am not in good health. Doesn’t the saying goes one would never stand when one could lie down when every part of the body is weak? That’s why I’m envious of Your Highness’… straight back.”
“Isn’t it a little late to get married in February next year?” Zhao Xuanjing suddenly asked without thinking.
“I don’t think so?” Xie Qiao was a little confused. It would happen in a few months, and it was quite urgent.
“You don’t have to be envious after we get married. The thick and straight back of mine will be all yours.” Zhao Xuanjing seemed casual as he whispered in Xie Qiao’s ear. Seeing her blushing cheeks, he could not help but smile. “It’s just that when the time comes, your body has to be able to withstand it.”
Xie Qiao looked confused.
Then, she was completely dumbfounded.
No, what did this man say just now?
Xie Qiao’s expression was very interesting. The corner of her mouth twitched twice, and she wanted to glare at him again. However, because of her blushing face, there was a bit of coquettishness. It really did not fit her image as a master. More importantly, her heart was beating fast.
Xie Qiao covered her chest and suddenly took a step back, coughing twice.
Zhao Xuanjing’s face instantly became a little worried. He quickly helped her up. “Seeing you like this, it’s better… not to think about it for the time being. We can still do it if you and I are a couple without being married.”
Xie Qiao had never thought that there would be a day when she would not be able to catch her breath because of these slanderous words.
She had been in good health recently. She had not fallen into the hands of the ghouls, but she had fallen for Zhao Xuanjing’s words. She thought she was weak.
He helped her sit and she immediately took two deep breaths in.
“I’m just not used to it. I’m used to having a still heart and few desires. Being so direct all of a sudden, I’m a little… unsettled.” Xie Qiao did not forget to put on airs. She extended her hand, indicating that he should not be worried, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s a tiny illness that’s easy to treat.”
As she spoke, she took out her medicine. She took a look at it and then ate one.
She felt much better.
“Alright, you can continue.”
‘I’m not afraid of you,’ she thought.
If she was not afraid of thousands of ghouls, how would she be afraid of a few words?
Zhao Xuanjing was stunned.
How could he go on? He was just teasing her just now. They were not married yet, so how could he keep saying such… offensive words to a maiden like Xie Qiao?
However, what should he do about Xie Qiao’s request?
Zhao Xuanjing thought about it seriously. “If you want to hear it, we’ll do that after we get married.. Now… Qiao’er, it’s really inappropriate…”
Xie Qiao felt stifled for a moment.
She just wanted to show that her body could hold up and withstand the shock. It was not that she wanted to hear it, but she was a young lady after all. If she really wanted to hear it… would it not be strange?
Of course, it would be a different case… after they got married.
“Your Highness, what did you call me?” Xie Qiao frowned.
‘Is he disregarding our relationship? If Master were to hear it, he would probably kick you out of the sect, Second Junior Brother!
“Why not, Qiao’er?” Zhao Xuanjing had already retracted his hand. His slender body stood upright, and his smile was gentle. He looked like a gentleman with a smile in his eyes. “You and I are already engaged. It’s strange to call you Young Lady Xie. It’d be even more inappropriate if I call you half-immortal.”
Xie Qiao was at a disadvantage.
It was better when she was Master Mo. The Crown Prince seemed more filial when she was in Master Mo’s disguise.
