Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 072 He and Huipin

Xie Yun was forced by Yin Ji to beg for mercy many times, but without exception, it was on the bed. After getting off the bed, no matter how difficult it was, even if she had to swallow her anger, she never lowered her head.

As if this way, she could still maintain her pitiful self-esteem and not fail miserably.

But now, she has no choice.

Qi Yan looked worried: "Miss Xie, have you thought about it?"

His eyes fell on Xie Yun's hand. Just looking at the wounds on it, he knew how bad Xie Yun's life was these days.

Would a person who was willing to let her suffer this kind of hardship really help her?

Xie Yun also lowered her eyes and looked over, but just saw the blood oozing from the wound staining her sleeves. Her eyes darkened, but she still cheered up: "This is the only way left. I have to try it anyway."

She couldn't let her blood relatives die in southern Yunnan like this.

She straightened her clothes and strode back to Qianyuan Palace, but before she could enter the door, she saw a sedan chair parked at the door. This was something that only concubines were qualified to ride in. Someone was coming.

Xie Yun paused, she really came back at the wrong time.

Palace servants came one after another to serve meals, and the sound of laughter came from the opening and closing door panels. Xie Yun scratched her palms. In the past, when she encountered such a scene, she really tried to hide as far away as possible, but this time she had to go in.

She cheered up and called Dechun.

Dechun knew that Cai Tianxi was looking for her these days. Seeing that she showed up at this time, he couldn't help but sigh for his godfather: "Aunt Xie Yun, why did you come back at this time? Where did you go these days? Palace servants can't walk around randomly, how could you knowingly break the rules?"

Xie Yun turned her head aside and tried not to look at the situation in the room: "Just deal with it according to the palace rules. Now I have to go in. Can you give me a break?"

Dechun was immediately in trouble. If it was a few days ago, she could go in whenever she wanted and find a reason. But now Huipin is in there, and it sounds like the two of them are talking happily. If Xie Yun is let in at this time, wouldn't it ruin the master's business?

He can't afford the wrath of thunder.

But if he doesn't let her in, Cai Tianxi has repeatedly told him to help Xie Yun when he can.

He was very embarrassed for a while.

Xie Yun subconsciously took out her purse, but it was empty. Then she remembered that all the money she had on her was given to the imperial physician.

She was a little embarrassed, and she clenched her palms tightly before she spoke reluctantly: "This time, I owe you a favor. Next time, as long as you need me, as long as it is not a rebellious thing, I will definitely help you do it."

"Aunt, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's this..."

He walked back and forth helplessly, and finally gritted his teeth: "Forget it, since it has come to this, I will help you."

Xie Yun was very grateful, but no matter how emotional she was, she just said thank you briefly.

Dechun raised his hand to call over a palace maid who was delivering food, and handed the food box in her hand to Xie Yun: "Aunt, you must not make the emperor angry again, otherwise I can't bear it."

Xie Yun grabbed the food box in her hand and nodded vigorously.

She didn't want to make Yin Ji angry, especially today. If necessary, she would not resist any difficulties Yin Ji made today.

The palace people entered in a line, and she followed behind with her head down. She wanted to find a suitable opportunity to speak again, but she didn't expect that Yin Ji saw her when she was just trying a dish.

"Hey, look who is this?"

Yin Ji spoke, with a smile in his voice, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, his eyes were cold, which made people's hair stand on end. "I thought you didn't know that the master was back."

Xie Yun heard his sarcasm, thinking that her sudden appearance displeased him, and lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "Your servant greets the emperor."

Yin Ji sneered, did not shout or continue to embarrass, making people a little confused about what he meant.

The atmosphere was a bit strange. Huipin looked at this and that, silently put half of the elbow into the bowl, and ate it in small bites.

Cai Tianxi did not dare to watch the fun. Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over while serving the dishes: "Your Majesty, try today's pickled quail. I heard that the empress dowager praised it before."

Yin Ji gave a face-saving "Oh", raised his chin slightly to indicate that he should pick up the dishes, and Cai Tianxi quickly put the chopsticks into Xie Yun's hand, signaling her with his eyes to serve well.

Xie Yun pursed her lips, picked up a piece of quail meat with chopsticks and put it into Yin Ji's plate, but the other party stared at it for a few seconds, but had no intention of eating it at all.

"I'm thirsty."

Xie Yun quickly put down her chopsticks and went to serve soup.

"I want tea."

Xie Yun paused with her hand holding the soup. She knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she could only make hot tea.

However, despite her obedience, Yin Ji's expression did not ease, but became visibly gloomy. After a while, he sneered again: "What do you want to do here?"

He leaned back in his chair, showing impatience: "I don't have time to waste with you, tell me."

Xie Yun knew that it was a rare opportunity for him to listen to her, and she couldn't care about his attitude, but Huipin was sitting next to her. When the Xie family declined, the Xun family had secretly fueled the flames. It was really difficult to say it in front of her.

Yin Ji seemed not aware about this. Seeing that Xie Yun didn't speak for a long time, his face darkened: "Don't want to talk? Then get out. I don't want to listen either."

Xie Yun grabbed her palm. Although she was embarrassed, she forced herself not to move. She couldn't go out. If she went out, she would have no chance to speak.

Huipin stood up awkwardly: "Then how about I go back first?"

Xie Yun's heart moved, but the next moment Yin Ji pulled her back and personally picked up a piece of lotus chicken slices for her: "Why are you in a hurry? These are all your favorite dishes, eat slowly."

After the voice fell, he glanced at Xie Yun again: "Don't ruin your mood because of insignificant people."

Huipin didn't dare to say anything. She responded awkwardly and lowered her head to eat.

This meal took a full hour. Yin Ji was very attentive, picking up dishes and serving soup, as if he was an ordinary husband who loved his wife.

Xie Yun stood silently behind the crowd, her head lowered. She had never followed Yin Ji when he was with his concubines in the past, and this was the first time she knew what he was like in front of others.

He was even more gentle and considerate than six years ago.

She really shouldn't be here, but she couldn't leave. No matter how slim the hope was, she wanted to find another chance to speak out.
