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

Chapter 083 Come Back to Me

Yin Ji slowly turned around, staring at Xie Yun, and said word by word: "What did you say?"

Xie Yun leaned forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please expel this servant from Qianyuan Palace."

Xiu Xiu was frightened. The palace maids expelled by their masters would be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, let alone rest and recuperation, they would have to do the hardest and most tiring work for the rest of their lives, and they couldn't even take a breath.

That's fine, but she has no dignity at all, she is the lowest-ranking servant, and even ordinary palace maids can beat and scold her at will. With Xie Yun's temper, how could she bear it?

"Aunt, you must be confused by the fever, take back your words quickly."

But Xie Yun thought about it seriously. Compared with facing Yin Ji, uncontrollably guessing what he was thinking, and the self-abuse-like heartache, she would rather suffer the hardship of labor.

Anyway, it's only four years, she can get through it anyway.

"Please help me, Your Majesty."

Yin Ji looked down at her, but did not speak for a long time. The atmosphere was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. 

Xiuxiu could not bear the pressure and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, calm down. Auntie is talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously. You can't drive her out. She is still sick. If she goes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she will be punished first. She will..."

"Xiuxiu," Xie Yun interrupted her. Although she was weak all over due to illness, her tone was very firm, "Go out."

Xiuxiu shook her head, rarely refusing to listen to her.

During the stalemate between the two, Yin Ji suddenly chuckled: "I remember that you mentioned this sentence when you were calculating Shen Guang before."

Xie Yun hesitated slightly. To this day, Yin Ji still felt that what happened at that time was her fault, but she was too lazy to explain it.

"Yes, I mentioned it."

"But I could feel that you were just retreating to advance, but now..."

Yin Ji slowly approached, bent down and looked into her eyes, "You really want to leave Qianyuan Palace, right?"

Xie Yun didn't say anything else, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Yin Ji simply squatted down and looked at Xie Yun: "Give me a reason."

Xie Yun didn't know why he asked such a ridiculous question: "Reason? The emperor has already said that, what other reason do you want?"

That kind of words? What words? Words that hurt you?

I have said so much, why do you have to leave this time?

Yin Ji's mind unconsciously emerged the scene of Qi Yan feeding medicine to Xie Yun, his eyes were cold, Xie Yun, do you really want to leave because of something I said?

He clenched his teeth and tried his best to control himself not to care, not to get angry because of this disappearance. He moved a little closer, but this small action, in exchange for Xie Yun's dodging with all her strength.

His eyes suddenly darkened, and he stretched out his hand to clamp Xie Yun's jaw, forcing her to accept his closeness. However, his face was obviously ferocious, but when he spoke, his tone was low and lingering, but what he said was completely opposite: "You know why you want to leave. I am too lazy to ask, but I have to remind you, don't forget your identity. I won't let you go. Even if you die, you can only stay in Qianyuan Palace..."

His fingertips trembled, ignoring Xie Yun's resistance, and stroked her skin again and again: "I know you have a way to force me to surrender, but I advise you not to try. If you are not careful, it will cost someone's life..."

He was referring to Qi Yan, but in Xie Yun's ears, it became Xie's family.

She raised her hand to grab Yin Ji's wrist and pulled it hard.

"You only know how to threaten me, right? Time and time again, is this handle so easy to use?"

Her eyes were full of anger, and there was also a strong sense of disappointment and hurt.

Yin Ji unconsciously clenched his fists, disappointed? Why are you disappointed in me?

"You forced me, Xie Yun. If you hadn't been so ruthless, if you had behaved more after entering the palace, we wouldn't be like this now!"

It turned out to be her fault, it turned out to be all her fault...

Xie Yun leaned against the bed and closed her eyes weakly. She didn't want to talk to him anymore, not even a word.

Yin Ji understood her expression and was so angry that his whole body tensed up. 

You don't want to pay attention to me, right?

With Qi Yan, you don't even want to look at me, right?

He smiled grimly: "I suddenly feel that Cai Tianxi is right. Although you are troublesome in everything, at least you are good at serving people. So, come back to me after you recover."

Xie Yun opened her eyes in disbelief: "What did you say? I won't go!"

"It's not up to you."

Yin Ji stroked Xie Yun's cheek again, but the charming action did not have the slightest warmth: "I'll wait for you."

After the voice fell, he didn't give Xie Yun a chance to refuse, and strode away.

Xiuxiu didn't hear what Yin Ji said to Xie Yun just now, but only heard the following words. Although the tone was not right, the sentence "come back to me" was clear. She was full of excitement: "Aunt, the emperor asked you to come back to the emperor to serve... You finally don't have to do those rough jobs in the future!"

She was really happy, but not just for Xie Yun. Although she was also studying in the Shangfu Bureau these days, she obviously felt that the attitudes of the maids and officials around her were much colder. Before, someone rushed to teach her what she wanted to learn, but now no one paid attention to her after asking several times.

Xie Yun's loss of power had a huge impact on them.

But now, everything is over!

"Aunt, I'll go to the kitchen to buy some dishes, let's celebrate..."

She paused as she spoke, and slowly realized that Xie Yun had no joy, and even looked uglier than before.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Xie Yun turned her back to her: "I'm fine... You go down first, I want to be alone for a while." 

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xiuxiu tactfully did not ask more questions: "Yes, I'm outside, aunt, call me if you have anything." 

Xie Yun closed her eyes without even responding. She didn't know what Yin Ji was thinking. Since he hated her to this extent, why did he keep her by his side? 

Does he have to expose her pain in front of him to be satisfied? 

Does he really hate her so much...
