Chapter 20: Chapter Twenty(2/2)
She just wants him to stay with her.
Xiao Qi could no longer deny the love that had existed between them for some time, let alone stop the tears from flowing out.
He was pulled back from the dead end by her, and she told him clearly: "I only have you."
Although he knew it wasn't the case and that she had much more than him, he still couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by these words.
This sentence was enough. Even if she couldn't really save his life in front of the emperor, he still felt that this life was worth it.
"If you don't leave, Xiao Qi won't leave."
For the first time, he did not call himself a slave, but secretly replaced that humble self-title with his own name.
Just because this is a kind of oath for him. It has nothing to do with the shackles of identity. No matter who he is, he is willing to stay with her forever.
There were only two of them in the dormitory. Wei Huai'en didn't want to ask anyone else to serve him, so he walked behind the screen and changed into the inner skirt of his palace dress.
"Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Qi, who was outside, looking at his wrinkled front and trying to straighten it out, heard Wei Huaien's call and quickly responded and walked a few steps inside.
"Here, slave is here, what are your orders, master?"
"No, just wait for me here."
Wei Huai'en was like a frightened bird, constantly making sure her nest was safe. She was too worried that Xiao Qi would leave when she wasn't paying attention, so she had to use her voice to confirm his presence.
Soon Wei Huaien walked out from behind the screen and sat in front of the mirror while Xiao Qi tied up her hair.
When Xiao Qi opened the makeup package and wanted to apply makeup for her, Wei Huai'en stopped him.
"No need."
Wei Huai'en's current appearance cannot be said to be haggard. His usually dazzling figure suddenly collapsed, making people feel unbearable just by looking at him.
"That's it, you go with me."
Xiao Qi arranged the outermost complicated skirt for her and said hesitantly: "Master, this slave has to change clothes."
He was running all the way, his black robe was stained with dust, the front was soaked with Wei Huai'en's tears, and was pulled and grabbed until it was unsightly.
Let alone going to see Tianyan, it is not appropriate to even leave this courtyard.
Wei Huai'en's eyes swept across his body, and then he looked at himself in the mirror.
One is haggard but dressed in fine clothes, the other is dusty but has a handsome face.
She stretched out her hand and pinched his face, tracing his eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips little by little with her fingers.
Xiao Qi closed his eyes obediently, bent his knees slightly to be at her level, and heard her say:
"No need to change, just wait for me outside the palace.
I'm afraid you can't keep your deputy position, but I will let you continue to be the general manager by my side."
Having said this, Xiao Qi no longer hesitated. After her warm fingers left, he followed her step by step with a slightly bowed body, walking towards the emperor's stage step by step.
The master said he would save his life, so he no longer feared anything.
Wei Huai'en's figure walked in front, and the evening light lingered on her shoulders. In his eyes, she was shining.
"The unfilial daughter Wei Huai'en asks to see my father."
As soon as Eunuch Le stepped out from the threshold of the study room, Wei Huai'en and Xiao Qi knocked heavily on the ground.
He was so frightened that he quickly jumped away from Wei Huai'en with his mellow body, and kept saying: "Your Highness, you can't do it, you can't do it..." to pull Wei Huai'en up.
"The Emperor is waiting for you inside. Come in with me quickly."
Eunuch Le saw Wei Huai'en's red and swollen eyes and pale face. He wanted to say something, but his eyes moved slightly and he swallowed his words.
Looking at Xiao Qi who was kneeling beside him, Eunuch Le gave him a disgusted look.
"Wait for me here."
Wei Huai'en turned around and said to Xiao Qi, then patted Eunuch Le's hand and walked into the hall alone.
Outside the hall, only Eunuch Le and Xiao Qi were left, as well as a few forest guards who were as silent as wood.
Eunuch Le didn't need to worry. He kicked Xiao Qi hard and knocked Xiao Qi to the ground.
Xiao Qi silently received the kick, endured the pain on his shoulder, and knelt down again in front of his sword-like eyes.
People who are about to die do whatever they want and roar
It feels like the two of them behaved very differently today, hahaha.
Xiao Qi: I ran around all afternoon and killed Yan Weiguang, and I was mentally prepared to be killed.
Wei Huai'en: Woohoo, I cried all afternoon. Where is Xiao Qi? Why hasn't he come back?
