MTL - After the Big Guy Wears the Abusive Text-Chapter 109 incident
"You know you can't." Ye Youqing sighed.
Zhou Ziqiu smiled.
"I've always wondered about something, and I don't know if I can speak."
"But it doesn't matter."
"You were chased into the mountains and forests, why did you leave Shili and enter the palace alone?" Ye Youqing always remembered what Shili said, and now he asks.
If it affects my family, the imperial court has sent people to arrest the second old man, but if I stop the loss in time and return to the palace, this crime will be forgiven."
"I believed it at the time." Zhou Ziqiu lowered his eyes, his eyes showed remorse for the first time, "It took a long time to hear the news of Xiao Shi's death, and I tried every means to find out that her parents are also dead."
"Because I alone ruined her family, what face do I have to ask her for forgiveness." Zhou Ziqiu seemed to mutter to himself, and put down all his strength for a moment, and slumped to hold the table.
Ye Youqing looked at the thin body in front of him, her nose was sour, and she lowered her head to cover her red eyes. Sure enough, people have aged a lot when they look thin. If Shili saw the current Zhou Ziqiu, he would not know what he would think.
Ye Youqing swallowed the strange stuffiness in her throat and said softly, "But she never blamed you, she said she only blamed herself."
Zhou Ziqiu lowered his head and did not speak, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I can't stay for too long, I have to say goodbye." Ye Youqing exhaled, brushed the flowers off her shoulders, turned to leave, suddenly remembered something, and stopped abruptly, "No matter what happens in the future, I hope Niangniang can save her life and never die."
"Does my life have any meaning?" Zhou Ziqiu said away, she was really tired.
"Even if it's not for Shili, it should be for the sake of resignation. It will always be fine in the future." Ye Youqing said finally.
Zhou Ziqiu didn't answer anymore, only finally said, "Don't tell them."
Ye Youqing did not speak, but opened the door and walked under the clear sky with flying flowers like snow.
A few days passed by, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet arrived as scheduled. At the same time, a good news from the border came, saying that Xixia finally could not resist, and had already withdrawn in embarrassment. After the news arrived in the capital, it has been haze. The shrouded capital suddenly rained over the sky, and both the people and officials were beaming and put their hearts into their stomachs.
At the same time, the rebel army was stopped a hundred miles away, waiting for reinforcements to completely destroy the rebels.
Ci Ke had been having heart palpitations since he woke up this morning, but he didn't know the reason, until after entering the palace, he was distracted by the crowd, which made him feel a little better.
After the luncheon, Zhou Hong saw that she was still flustered, so he took her to the imperial garden, where she was surrounded by the spring scenery.
"As an outsider, Miss Ye was not invited, so I didn't come today." Zhou Hong really didn't know what happened to Cike, so he could only offer words of consolation.
Ci Ke nodded, pinched a fan embroidered with green mountains, and fanned it in front of his chest, trying to get rid of the heat.
She naturally knew that she was not worried about Ye Youqing.
"Brother, can you see the sixth prince today?" Ci Ke bypassed several young men who frequently turned back to her, and walked away to no one.
Zhou Hong shook his head: "I deliberately watched a few more times during the meal. The other princes and princesses were all there, but I never saw her. Maybe I was busy with other things."
The more Ci Ke walked, the heavier the pace became. Finally, he turned and walked towards the harem. Men were not allowed to enter the harem. Zhou Hong could only wait outside, watching Ci Ke disappear alone in the harem. behind the palace wall.
Since a long time ago, Zhou Ziqiu has been avoiding her, as if he is determined, he folds his eyebrows, skirts swaying behind him, strides past the rows of palace servants, stops At the door of Autumn Water Palace.
The strange thing is that there is no one guarding the door that day, and the door is also open.
In the eyes are the backs of a group of forbidden soldiers.
The people inside had already heard her movement, and they turned around at this time, revealing a corner of Zhou Ziqiu's shirt that was tightly blocked.
Ci Ke had a bad heart and knew that he could not leave, so he stopped, breathed steadily, and stood in the corridor.
"Auntie." Ci Ke tightened his heartstrings, but his face was calm, and he walked slowly past the forbidden soldiers to Zhou Ziqiu.
Ci Ke also pursed her lips: "Chunse looked bored, so she came to see my aunt."
You are currently waiting in the Funing Hall, so don't ask the saint to wait too long."
"Yes, but I haven't seen Ci Ke for a long time, so I said a few more words." Zhou Ziqiu said, spreading his palms, "Please."
"I don't dare." The long-faced waiter sneered and made a way sideways for Zhou Ziqiu to pass through. Zhou Ziqiu said nothing and walked through the crowd to the gate.
When walking through the porch, I slipped my feet for some reason, barely holding on to the doorpost to stand firm.
.
Ci Ke's expression suddenly changed, she strode over the threshold, desperately ran to the direction of leaving the palace, the palace was bustling with people on the road, she had to run around until she ran out of the palace wall , Only then was Zhou Hong who was guarding grabbed his arm.
"Ci Ke? What are you doing?" Zhou Hong asked suspiciously seeing her flushed face and panting.
Ci Ke didn't have time to explain, so he held him back, lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Quick, aunt is in danger, go find the sixth prince!"
"What..." Zhou Hong was shocked when he heard the words, and before he could fully speak, Ci Ke in front of him had already emerged from the crowd and ran to the dormitory where the sixth prince lived.
"
"Liu Aweng, where's Your Highness?" Ci Ke held his breath and said quickly.
"His Royal Highness is not in the palace today, but he was ordered to leave the palace early in the morning, saying that he was dealing with the chaos of the army, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the palace for a while. If the girl wants to find her, she must have tomorrow." The old man trembled. tremblingly.
"Tomorrow..." Ci Ke's footsteps softened, and he looked straight at Zhou Hong, "What should I do, aunt she..."
Zhou Hong was also confused for a while, so he could only comfort the pale-faced Ci Ke first: "Don't be in a hurry, maybe aunt is just called to question, there is no danger."
Ci Ke shook his head, unable to lean against the wall: "Why do you usually follow so many banned troops when you invite him? It's obviously tied!"
"Ye Youqing!" Ci Ke abruptly stood up and pulled Zhou Hong over, "Go find her, she will definitely find a way!"
Not waiting for Zhou Hong to react, Cike already picked up the skirt and ran towards the palace gate.
Her legs were already filled with lead, and her chest was aching, but she never dared to stop. She just kept saying "it'll be fine" in her head to comfort herself.
Zhou Hong's legs and feet are bad, but he will be a little light. At the request of Ci Ke, he has no shadow, but even so, Ci Ke is still running, the spring sky is not It was hot, but after a while she was sweating profusely.
The strong urge to cry reverberated in her mind, but she tried her best to endure it and didn't have time to think about what happened.
Aunt can't be in trouble, there must be a way to help her.
It took just a stick of incense, but it seemed as long as several years. Cike finally saw the towering palace walls and gates, as well as the rows of flags on the palace wall. Forbidden soldiers, strictly guarding this imperial city.
"Brother..." Ci Ke said half a sentence, but was interrupted by Zhou Hong, and the face of Qing Jun was mixed with despair.
Your Highness must not leave!"
Ci Ke opened her mouth to breathe, she had to bend down to calm the beating of her heart.
In the past, birthday banquets were not so defensive, so today is special.
What else can she do, she can't leave the city, there are no relatives in the palace, no one can help Zhou Ziqiu, and no one can help her.
It is like a trapped beast with its limbs chopped off, enclosed in a cage.
"Ci Ke..." Zhou Hong's mind was also blank. Looking back, he was startled again, and hurriedly blocked Ci Ke behind him. From the palace gate.
Ci Ke crossed Zhou Hong's arm to see him, and he suddenly calmed down at the same time as a chill in his heart.
She held Zhou Hong with her backhand and ran to the side of the road away from the guards. To welcome guests here, two dwarf pines were planted in the huge porcelain pot. Press the person behind the porcelain basin.
"Mostly, they came to catch me out of fear of something going wrong." Ci Ke whispered, his eyes calm.
"Ci Ke!" Zhou Hong gritted his teeth, but was interrupted by Ci Ke again.
"We were deceived by the emperor, we thought he didn't know all about it." Ci Ke sneered.
"Brother, if you can go out, go to Ye Youqing, I believe she has a way." Ci Ke spoke quickly, "But if it's too late, help me tell her..."
"It's okay, I'm satisfied." Ci Ke smiled, then stepped back, "Take care."
After saying that, the woman turned around, her back was glowing, her bright red skirt was rolled up with the wind, and she walked straight towards the closer and closer servants and forbidden soldiers.
