Chapter 13
The sudden accident left Qiao Ji at a loss.

He knew that with Xie Liangyue's intelligence, he must be able to perceive some clues from his daily attitude, but Qiao Ji never thought of exposing him so nakedly in front of her.

At least I never thought of it in this form.

There was a layer of sweat on his forehead, showing his nervousness.

But Xie Liangyue didn't seem to see his embarrassment, instead she held the handkerchief and looked at it carefully.

"I vaguely remember that I had the same one before, but I forgot where I put it," she wondered, "Where did Guard Qiao get it?"

"I"

Qiao Ji was nervous and at a loss, not knowing how to start.

But Xie Liangyue kept asking, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Just as he was about to smash the jar and thought he should just confess, the maid who delivered the dinner arrived.

After being interrupted, Xie Liangyue didn't chase after him to ask again. Although Qiao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed to be suppressed by something in her heart.

He knew that Xie Liangyue had let him go on purpose, but did it mean that she had no intentions for him?

Qiao Ji declined Xie Liangyue's invitation to have a meal with him. He stared at the handkerchief on the table with deep eyes, as if he was making a decision.

Xie Liangyue had a panoramic view of his every move, she straightened her skirt and sat down at the dining table.

"You don't want to have dinner with me? What are you doing in a daze?"

Qiao Ji moved the hand placed by his side, he lowered his eyelids, and bent over to salute.

"Subordinates retire."

Xie Liangyue raised her eyebrows, "Wait."

As soon as Qiao Ji turned around, he was stopped.

"You don't want your stuff anymore?"

He turned around abruptly, seeing Xie Liangyue raised his chin and pointed at the handkerchief to signal him.

My dull heart suddenly became active.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, he quickly picked up the handkerchief, stroked it cherishingly, and then carefully stuffed it into his arms.

Really like a little wolf dog.

Xie Liangyue looked at Qiao Ji's leaving back and thought.

After these days of contact, she almost already knew that Qiao Ji's feelings for her probably came much earlier than she imagined.

But she didn't know that this wind called love had blown for seven years and spanned two lifetimes before it came to her.

At three o'clock in Haishi, the wind is light and the clouds are light, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Qiao Ji was sitting on the roof holding two handkerchiefs, silently staring blankly.

Originally, he just wanted to get closer to her, but when he got closer, he realized that it was not enough. He wanted to protect her, love her, hug her and kiss her.

He didn't know how long he could last, and what the outcome of this secret love would be, but he knew that he might not be able to hide it.

If she asked again tomorrow, would I confess to her?
Do you want to tell her that seven years ago, in Suiyang City, in the days when the famine was spreading, was it her appearance that gave me the courage to live?

The moon shadow is perfect, the past is like smoke, and I am just a tiny speck of dust in her past, but when I think that she doesn't remember me, I still can't help but feel depressed.

Qiao Ji looked at the two handkerchiefs, the same dark flower, but the skill of the person who showed them has improved a lot.

Gradually clenching his hands tightly, he looked up at the sky and exhaled lightly.

Qiao Ji's heart was in a mess, he wanted his girl to have the best home, but he knew very well that that person must not be him.

Today's accident was due to his dereliction of duty. If he could be stronger and have a good status, even if he was just an ordinary high school kid or a high-spirited Jianghu young man, he would have the courage to confess to Xie Liangyue.

But he is nothing, he is just the most ordinary guard beside her.

He looked at the full moon in the sky, with dark emotions in his eyes, but what can he do to better protect his girl?
-
"Your Highness, this is the calming tea that the prince ordered someone to deliver." Rong Fu carried the tray into Qi Yujin's room, "It's been a tiring journey, drink it and rest early."

Qi Yujin leaned against the bed, frowning tightly. After hearing Rong Fu's words, he reached out and pinched the center of his brows, and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"

"Return to Your Highness, it will take about seven days if you hurry up."

Qi Yujin's tone was sullen: "How is the disaster now?"

"During the day, the prince received a message from Jiangnan, saying that the situation has stabilized temporarily, but because Governor Chai has fallen, the protective measures on the mountain cannot be used. If it rains again, I am afraid it will cause another injury."

"Chai Su has fallen, and none of his men can be used?"

Qi Yujin gave a "tsk" and cursed, "What a waste."

Seeing this, Rong Fu quickly comforted him: "Your Highness said yes. However, before leaving, Elder Xingchi said that although this natural disaster is a disaster, it is an opportunity bestowed by God on His Highness. Then Chai Su may not live long. Although King Zhao took over according to the order, it is still temporary. If Your Highness can make contributions in this disaster relief process, then the people in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely regard you as a god. At that time, the Holy Majesty will reward you for your merits, and the stool under your Highness’ feet will It's going to get higher and higher."

When Qi Yujin heard this, the boredom in her heart dissipated a lot.

He sat up straight with a chuckle, and stretched out his hand.

Rong Fu immediately put the calming tea in his hand.

I saw Qi Yujin narrowed her eyes slightly, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Good tea, thank King Zhao for my palace."
-
In the twilight of the morning, Xie Liangyue opened the window and saw two banana trees growing outside the window.

She observed carefully, and found that although the two trees grew in the same soil, the growth of the two trees was quite different.

One has luxuriant branches and leaves, and the growth is gratifying; the other has yellow leaves, and the whole tree exudes a sense of depression.

She asked the maid who came to serve her: "Why are there such big differences between these two banana trees?"

The servant girl followed her gaze and said clearly: "Going back to the princess, the servant girl doesn't know that they are all fertilized with the same fertilizer and watered with the same water, but one of them is much more delicate than the other."

Are you squeamish?
Xie Liangyue's expression was indifferent, and she smiled wryly as she watched the roots of the delicate tree being suppressed by another one.

She had a dream from her previous life again yesterday.Unlike before, this time she once again clearly felt the pain of the sharp knife stabbing herself in the dream.

She watched helplessly as her eyes were gouged out, but she never lost her sight.

When she saw Qi Yujin's indifferent expression and Chai Tianhe's gloating look, the burning pain in her eyes spread directly to her whole body. She wanted revenge, and she wanted them to experience more pain than herself.

"The county lord."

Xie Liangyue's thoughts were recalled, she turned around and saw Qiao Ji standing beside her, she was slightly taken aback.

"Didn't rest well?"

Qiao Ji coughed lightly and said, "No, it's too hot."

Xie Liangyue nodded.

"How is Gao Tianrui?"

"Already awake."

Xie Liangyue stopped drinking water, "So fast?"

With a half-smile, she said, "It seems that your kick wasn't hard enough."

Qiao Ji was silent for a moment, and asked:
"Gao Tianrui made such a shameless act, why did the princess spare him?"

Xie Liangyue didn't expect him to say that, and said with a smile: "You really don't understand?"

Qiao Ji lowered his head, of course he understood.

Although Gao Taining is the magistrate, he doesn't have much family background. He must have hidden secrets for allowing his son to act recklessly.

And behind this secret, I'm afraid it can't escape the care of an expert.
