What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 25 Chapter 25

"Okay, Xiao Qi, send this letter to the official residence of Qin Tianjian. And this letter, give it to Shui Jing, let her find a way to send it to the general's residence."

Wei Huai'en has been busy since that day, burying himself in the pile of desk paper all day long, and he can't say a few words when anyone comes.

Sometimes Xiao Qi couldn't see the bloodshot eyes in her eyes and offered a few words of persuasion, but was deterred by her glance, so he could only swallow the words and silently help her turn on the lights.

He could feel that Wei Huai'en's time on the mountain was running out.

He has tasted the taste of power, so he can't say that he doesn't look forward to the day when he returns to the capital and becomes the majestic deputy commander.But what he understood better was that Wei Huai'en would never be like him, willing to stop for a little sweetness of love.

She will be sluggish and depressed, but she will still cheer up, and she will never stay for him.

Who made him ineligible from the beginning.All he could do, other than obey, was to sacrifice.

Standing in her shadow cast by the candle, he memorized her orders one by one, trying to connect a network of relationships that she truly trusted from these scattered characters.

But after a few days, he still had no clue, because Wei Huai'en was not only giving orders to others, but also revealing his plan to another group of people.

He was not in the court, so he couldn't see what kind of incidents would be detonated by the thread she buried. Except for Wei Huaien's revealed plan to ascend to the throne, he didn't even know what her next step was or how she would go.

"Um……"

She suddenly made a hesitant sound, which is unusual. Xiao Qi, who has long been used to her throwing orders and letters over neatly, tilted his head and saw her holding a package of filled letters but hadn't written on the cover. The envelope with the name frowned.

"master?"

He took a few steps forward, boldly showing his presence.

Wei Huai'en didn't look at him, this is not a problem that can be solved by asking Xiao Qi.She sighed, picked up a pen and dipped in the ink, and wrote the flamboyant two words on the envelope: "Lu Ming".

"You put this..."

When Xiao Qi was about to take the envelope, Wei Huai'en suddenly changed his mind and withdrew his hand.

"Is it the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yes."

Xiao Qi lowered his hands and stood up again, without retreating, just standing by the table like this.

"Tomorrow afternoon, you will go down the mountain with me."

Wei Huai'en put aside the envelope with "Lu Ming"'s name on it, pinched his eyebrows, and seemed very uncomfortable.

Xiao Qi responded and refilled her a cup of tea.Seeing that the pile of papers she finished reading on her left was a bit messy, she wanted to tidy it up.But when he was about to start, Wei Huai'en couldn't hold back his anger:

"Don't tidy up, let's go down."

Her aggressiveness made Xiao Qi hurriedly back out at a loss, and when he was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, he realized that he had turned the corner.But he really didn't understand why Wei Huai'en was uncomfortable tonight. Could it be that he thought he was always hanging around her?
I don't understand, but Xiao Qi also knows that he is not even as useful as Shui Jing at this time.Shui Jing has been with Wei Huai'en since he was a child, and knows much more than him.

Although there is no basis for the loss and jealousy in his heart now, the pain of being kicked out by Wei Huai'en made him hang his head like a trained dog to find Shui Jing to explain his master's orders.

Then quietly went back to the small courtyard, hid by the window and listened to her sighing and writing down from time to time.

Could it be because of that Lu Ming?who is he?Xiao Qi thought about it, went through all the people surnamed Lu in the court, even thought about the servants with the surname Lu, but still didn't know who this person was.

He didn't like this kind of frustration that he couldn't help, and couldn't even interrupt.

Li Kong's words suddenly rang in his ears, he looked at Wei Huai'en's shadow cast on the window, and licked his lips in a strange way.

At that time, Li Kong asked Miss Meng San, who had a gold chain on her ankle, to back out, then picked up the tea she made herself, and said to Xiao Qi who showed disapproval:
"What is Manager Xiao thinking? We're about to say those high-sounding words. I know that even if I get to this point, I'm still not good enough for her, but it doesn't matter, at least I can keep her by my side."

"It would be nice if you could stay on the mountain for the rest of your life."

Xiao Qi didn't dare to do the same crazy thing as Li Kong, he could only pray that Wei Huai'en would stay in Huang'en Temple for a longer time, he was very afraid that he would not be able to keep up with her footsteps, and one day she would completely forget him .

Beijing.

A pigeon landed in the General's Mansion in the dark, and Ning Yu recognized at a glance that it was Wei Huai'en's commonly used letterbox from a distance, and couldn't wait to take it apart to have a look.

"What's the matter, what did the girl say?"

Jiang Jue put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran over, Jiang Hong took this opportunity to grab the last chicken leg.

"Girl come to see us tomorrow!"

Ning Yu got to the point directly.

"Really! Great, great."

As soon as Jiang Jue got excited, he still wanted to rub his hands habitually, but he didn't remember his broken left arm until he raised his right hand halfway.

But Ning Yu naturally held him and pulled him into the house together.

"Tomorrow we're going to buy delicious food for the girl. She said that she will go down the mountain in the afternoon, so we don't need to pick her up. I guess she will be here at the latest, and our family can have a good reunion."

Ning Yu was happily planning, Jiang Jue couldn't help nodding, and suddenly saw the chicken bone spit out by Jiang Jue, who was eating hard, and was furious:
"Do you dare not leave it to your father?"

"Hey, hey, what are you attacking him for?"

Jiang Jue, who was about to stand up and knock Jiang Hong on the head, was held down by Ning Yu. She turned her head and smiled and looked at the son who was still holding a bowl of rice at this time, like a reincarnated son of a starved ghost. The kindness in her eyes made Jiang Hong hug him in fright. Holding the bowl, she shrank to one side:

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"You can go to the palace banquet tomorrow, your father and I have to stay at home with you."

Ning Yu patted the top of her son's head tenderly, her love was full of threats.

"What? I won't go! Why should I suffer alone, and you will spend the holidays at home?"

Jiang Hong looked at his own mother in disbelief, and was hit on the head with chopsticks by Jiang Hong just as he wished.

"If you are told to go, you will go, and you won't even listen to your mother's words?"

Jiang Jue was very proud, and rubbed the back of Ning Yu's hand with his only right hand.

"Someone in our family must show his face at the palace banquet. Dad promises to give you a chicken leg when you come back. How about it? Interesting enough?"

Jiang Hong reluctantly accepted the arrangement, feeling so blocked that he could barely eat the last few bites.

"...Then I'll try to come back as early as possible and take Yoyo out to watch the lanterns."

Li Kong Mansion.

Meng Keshu sat alone on the swing in the yard, silently looking at the moon.

The swing was made by Li Kong himself, and he asked her if she liked anything in the yard, even every plant and tree.

The new servants don't know anything about his past with her, they only know that Li Kong dotes on her very much.But she really couldn't bear the unintentional words of those who didn't know for a moment, she felt disgusted.

So she simply drove them all out and sat here alone in a daze.

Tomorrow is fifteen, and I don't know how the family in Nanlin Mansion, thousands of miles away, is doing now.

Speaking of which, when she agreed to leave with Li Kong, she thought that since family affection could be traded, then she would be as if she had no relatives from now on.

At that time, she might still have a little bit of unrealistic fantasy about Li Kong, but now it has already been broken into scum, and even the faces of the ruthless and ungrateful family members are a little kinder in comparison.

It seems like she has only two options in life, bad and worst.

Looking back, the only happy and free days in this life were actually the years of exile from the capital city to the Nanlin mansion.

Li Kong said that as long as she is obedient, her family will be protected in Nanlin Mansion, but if she had known that he was such a cruel and unintentional person...

Forget it, anyway, my father will definitely push her out to make a deal. She has always been stupid, thinking that everyone can give up everything for the sake of family love like her, but in the end everyone will give up on her.

Meng Keshu stretched out a hand to the moonlight, imagining that he could turn into a bird, fly out of this cage, fly to those famous mountains and rivers mentioned in the travel notes to have a look, and fly until death without stopping.

The gold chain on the ankle made a "rustling" sound on the ground as the swing swayed. Li Kong stood outside the moon gate silently watching her lonely back, but did not rush into her world.

The only young servant who was left by his side from Dingyuanhou's Mansion thought he was smart and whispered:
"Why don't adults go in?"

"The last thing she wants to see now is me."

Li Kong's expression was calm, but his footsteps did not move at all, he stood at the door like a root, his eyes never left the beautiful figure sitting under the clear light for a moment.

"My lord, why hesitate? This man, as long as his temper is tempered and he knows who to rely on to live, he will learn to be well-behaved no matter how arrogant he was before. Your lord is the master of the house, so he can do whatever he wants .”

The boy has seen Ding Yuanhou's methods of dealing with disobedient playthings. Li Kong remembers his kindness because of the wound medicine he once sent, and he is very generous to him on weekdays, so he forgets himself for a while and doesn't notice it at all. These words touched Li Kong's Ni Lin.

Li Kong was stung by his words "Master", this familiar title reminded him of the person he hated to the bone.

Yan Weiguang also forced him to follow him, using humiliation and control to trim his anger and unwillingness to obedience and submission.

It wasn't that he didn't hate at that time, but day after day, when facing Yan Weiguang, he had to show his satisfaction to please him.

He has experienced all this completely. He once thought that Yan Weiguang could bring him out of the quagmire, but all the strength of character he was proud of was broken by Yan Weiguang bit by bit, if it wasn't for...

If he hadn't met Little Moon, he would have lived in humiliation as Yan Weiguang's male favourite.

But why is Meng Keshu at this moment like himself back in his small courtyard from Yan Weiguang's side?
He can't be wrong, because he will firmly remember the involuntary self-loathing in this life.

But why did this happen, how could he do the same thing as Yan Weiguang?

"Shut up! Don't say 'Master' in front of me!"

Li Kong roared angrily, venting his disgust and anger at the boy, so that he could try his best to dispel the thoughts just now.

Not the same, how could he be the same as Yan Weiguang!He loves Meng Keshu, he is even willing to give everything for her, how could she hate him?
She just needs time, yes, she just can't accept that he used to be a male favorite, blame those servants, blame them for gossiping in front of little moon!

The furious Li Kong couldn't accept being compared with Yan Weiguang at all, even though he knew that he was thinking of that person, even if the "master" that the boy said was not Yan Weiguang, but him.

The boy hurriedly pleaded guilty, he just forgot the prohibition of using the word "Master" in the mansion just because of his negligence, Li Kong kicked him away, he crawled and rolled for a long distance before he dared to support the tree to breathe Tone, never dare to look back.

The movement of the Moon Gate made Meng Keshu turn his head, those originally shining eyes were now gray, and inside were despair and exhaustion that Li Kong could understand at a glance.

She seems to be saying:
"You are here again, what do you want me to do again?"

Had he looked at Yan Weiguang like this before?Meng Keshu was clearly in front of him, but in a certain blink of an eye, he seemed to be himself many years ago.He was Li Kong, and he seemed to see another Yan Weiguang in her eyes.

Same question:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

The same rhetorical question:

"Then what do you want me to think of you?"

In the same way, he rushed forward and pinched the opponent's face, but he was afraid of hurting the opponent and instead grabbed the opponent's shoulder:

"Why do you stab me with such words, am I not treating you well?"

"I do appreciate you,"

Even the tears that flowed from those desperate eyes were equally hot.

"But what do you want me to do? You can't lock me up like a dog. Instead of living like this, I'd rather never see you!"

Li Kong wanted to vomit for no reason, he let go of Meng Keshu, took a step back and leaned on the swing frame to endure the dizziness.

The same drama made him unacceptable, because he was only a little bit like Yan Weiguang, because he couldn't accept Xiaoyue's irony and used force on her.

He's been through the pain of not being able to breathe, and he knows it, he knows it all.So he's definitely not going to let things go the way they did before.

He is not Yan Weiguang, he is not, he will not force Meng Keshu to take the last step, it is different, he is different from Yan Weiguang!
"No, no, that's not it, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean to make you sad..."

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased because of Li Kong's resignation. He half-knelt on the ground and fell on Meng Keshu's lap, apologizing incoherently.

"Little Moon, Jiaojiao, Meng Keshu, I'm sorry, I like you, I have liked you since the moment you understood the sound of my piano, don't hate me, don't treat me like this..."

Meng Keshu stubbornly held his head up, even though the tears welling up for some unknown reason rolled down his cheeks, he would never bow his head.

She will never be soft on this kind of person, whether it's his calculations, his humiliation, or the killing, they have all been deeply rooted in her heart.

What he did has already turned Mang Shanzhong's heartbeat when he first met into regret, and now he only makes her feel strange and scary, and she only hopes that she has never seen him.

Once some mistakes are made, there is no room for change.

Li Kong didn't completely break her arrogance, so her stubbornness would never make her give up on herself, let alone live only for him as he wished.

He wants too much.But he could only copy Yan Weiguang's method clumsily, thinking that as long as his original intention was different, there would be a different ending.

Karma and retribution have always been like this in the world of reincarnation.In the end, no one owes anyone.

Li Kong held Meng Keshu's knee tightly, thinking that he would not get up unless she spoke.

She really couldn't tell which side of this man was real, she was tired of dealing with his moodiness.

However, she still wants to stay in this house where she is imprisoned, and play tricks for her family far away to please this devil.

"Get up, Li Kong."

Her soft voice fell lightly in Li Kong's ears, as if the hostility just now was an illusion.

However, just when he looked up into her eyes full of joy, the exhaustion and coping in her eyes were like a sword, cutting his whole body to pieces.

"So, you won't forgive me, will you?"

He stood up, restrained his expression, pretended not to care, shook off the dirt on his knees and stood in front of her, in fact, even breathing was painful.

She was silent.

"But that's okay."

He reached out and pinned a strand of her hair behind her ear, then bent down and kissed her on the lips.

She didn't resist, and he didn't want to find out whether she wanted to or didn't care anymore.

"As long as you listen to me obediently, I will always treat you well."

He suddenly no longer resisted the similarities between himself and Yan Weiguang. After all, he really loves Little Moon, so it doesn't matter if he uses some means to keep her by his side.

He just wanted to be close to her too much, and wanted her to be obedient so much that he treated her like this. One day, little moon will understand.

"Jiaojiao, come here."

He opened his arms, motioning for her to come and hug him.

Meng Keshu obediently stood up and buried herself in his arms, closed her eyes and let his kiss fall on her hair and cheek.

Finally, under his silent longing and grinding, he kissed her deeply.

Until she breathed, she had to rely on his giving, until she couldn't stand still and completely relied on his arms.

She thought he was ridiculous, and while calling her the moon, locked her in the back house and became a puppet who couldn't see the light.

How could she be worthy of the moon in her current appearance.

"Little Moon, I want to marry you."

Before falling asleep in his arms, she seemed to have heard this sentence, but she didn't seem to hear anything.

Huang'en Temple

Naturally, Wei Huai'en had to keep the fact that he was going down the mountain from the Royal Forest Army.

"Xiao Qi, come here..."

Behind the screen, Wei Huai'en looked at the servant who was messed up by himself in embarrassment, and finally gave up.

"I haven't worn this kind of clothes... I'm not an idiot who can't even wear clothes..."

Xiao Qi came over and patiently helped her take off the completely turned-up sleeves and put them on again. Wei Huai'en felt ashamed and kept trying to excuse himself in a low voice.

"I will definitely remember it in the future, and I will never wear it wrong again."

Xiao Qi couldn't help curling the corners of his lips. Seeing him smile, Wei Huai'en thought that he thought she couldn't even dress well, so he plunged into his arms and said in a low voice:

"Stop laughing, I'm sorry."

This was Wei Huai'en taking the initiative to get close to him again after the kiss that day, and Xiao Qi seemed to have noticed the pattern.

Wei Huaien separates public affairs from private affairs, or in other words, only when she is willing to rely on him, he is qualified to accept her intimacy.

But at other times, she has almost no emotion, even if she is too sleepy to open her eyelids, she has to stand up and deal with things before she is willing to go to sleep.

He will not be special to her because of these intimacy, and she will not tolerate him making mistakes because of their special relationship.

Xiao Qi didn't mind her estrangement, he would only keep in his heart every time she got close, and even felt that the gentle Wei Huai'en was her real face at this time.

She wanted too much, and gave up too much, leaving all the little vitality left to him.

Because apart from him, no one's love can withstand such indifference and distinction between public and private. Lovers always pursue each other's "exception", so how can they accept each other's neglect and indifference.

But even if Wei Huai'en didn't even admit that he liked him, Xiao Qi wouldn't feel unwilling, and he wouldn't forget to ask Wei Huai'en what he was.

Because as long as Wei Huaien's little tenderness is towards him, even if it takes a long time before he has a chance to touch her, that's enough.Even when he found out this rule, Xiao Qi was completely relieved.

People who are steeped in the strict palace rules discover the rules all the time and abide by the rules. Freedom is dangerous, and restrictions make him feel at ease.

So he was sure that he could love her at this time without covering up or being patient, and she agreed.

"No."

Xiao Qi shook his head, rubbed his chin lightly against the top of her hair, patted her back comfortingly, and flexibly unraveled her hair, tied it into the same bun as his in a few strokes.

"The slave is not laughing at the master, but thinks the master doesn't have to be so serious about everything."

The gauze hat was put on her head, Wei Huai'en looked at his phoenix eyes who were seriously tying the hat rope for himself, and heard him continue to say in a voice like the sound of a piano:
"What's the use of master learning to wear inner servants? Naturally, a slave will help you with such trivial matters."

After it was fastened, he took a step back and checked it. After making sure she was neat from top to bottom, he folded his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, master, shall we go down the mountain now?"

"Ahem, yes, Eunuch Xiao."

Wei Huai'en raised his voice and bowed his hands in a dignified way.Xiao Qi suddenly changed his face, and quickly avoided the gift in fright:
"Master can't do it!"

"Hahahaha, what's the matter, am I not the servant following you now?"

Wei Huaien threw himself into his arms again, laughing heartlessly, and didn't think saluting was such a big deal at all.

"Let's go, if you don't go, my aunt will miss me."

What else could Xiao Qi say, he could only walk ahead, leading Wei Huai'en to avoid the questioning of the Imperial Forest Army, and walked down the mountain on a small path.

At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Qi led the two steeds arranged by Shui Jing out of the bushes.

Xiao Qixian and Wei Huai'en went to a farm secretly belonging to Wei Huai'en and changed into ordinary civilian clothes, then changed into a carriage and pretended to be servants from the general's mansion to buy, and arrived in the capital just after the end of the day.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi! Let's drive slowly, I want to see more of the scenery on the street."

Wei Huai'en only showed a pair of eyes from the curtain of the car, looking at the bustling street more than usual with great interest.

Seeing that she liked it, Xiao Qi stopped the car in front of a small mask selling stall and bought her a tiger tooth mask so that she could stick her head out with confidence.As for himself, as long as the bamboo hat is lowered, no one will pay attention to his face.

　I've been exploring like crazy, but I didn't expect the day when I was blocked finally came (smile bitterly)

　　Ask for tickets, ask for collections, ask for comments!
