Cai Tianxi whispered a few words, and Yin Ji's face turned pale.
Summoning Xie Yun to serve the emperor for explanation, what's the difference between that and Xie Yun's sacrifice to save the Xie family?
"What kind of bad idea is this?"
He turned his head impatiently. Cai Tianxi didn't know why he disagreed, and was very puzzled: "How can this be considered a bad idea? The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Since it was caused by this kind of thing, it is natural to make up for it here..."
Yin Ji didn't listen to his twisted logic, chased him away, and sulked in the chair.
He would not do that kind of thing for some purpose like Xie Yun, and he only said one sentence. How difficult would it be to show that she didn't really dislike him?
The next morning, when the palace servants came to help him change his clothes, he waved his hand and chased Cai Tianxi away. His eyes fell on Xie Yun through the densely packed palace servants.
She still stood at the door, not speaking or looking at him.
Yin Ji rubbed his fingertips, silently told himself to be more friendly, and then he cleared his throat and said, "Xie Yun, you come and serve."
Xie Yun seemed to be startled by this sentence, and looked up: "What did the emperor say?"
Her resistance was written on her face. She obviously heard the words just now, but because she didn't want to, she could only ask again, hoping for a different result.
However, Yin Ji repeated it with a firm attitude: "I said, you come and serve."
Xie Yun couldn't play dumb anymore, but she didn't step forward, just turned her head and looked at the maid beside her: "Cuizhu, go and help the emperor change clothes."
Although he kept telling himself not to be angry and not to care about Xie Yun, Yin Ji still felt a little choked up when he saw her attitude.
He unconsciously raised his voice: "I'm talking about you, Xie Yun, don't let me repeat it again."
"I don't want to repeat what I said, Your Majesty, please have someone else serve you."
Xie Yun didn't want to argue with him, and was about to leave after she finished speaking.
"Stop!"
Yin Ji growled, and although he tried his best to suppress it, he still felt angry. He just hated Xie Yun's look, as if nothing mattered in front of her pride and persistence, including him.
I must change your temper today!
He lowered his eyes and his tone became cold: "Xie Yun, if you don't serve me today, you have to go to Zhaoyang Palace to serve Yuepin tomorrow."
Xie Yun's body was obviously stiff. After a long time, she slowly turned around and looked up: "The emperor really understands me. He can hit me with a knife."
Yin Ji couldn't look her in the eye, so he had to turn his head away: "If you are obedient, you won't get to that point."
"So, the emperor is not joking. If I don't agree, will you give me to Yuepin tomorrow?"
Yin Ji narrowed his eyes. He saw the helplessness and embarrassment of Xie Yun when she was forced into a desperate situation, and saw her hands trembling in her sleeves, but he still spoke slowly and firmly: "Yes."
Only when people are beaten and bleeding again and again will they know to bow their heads.
He hoped that this was the last time Xie Yun went against him.
Xie Yun didn't know if she understood his thoughts, and she was silent for a long time.
Yin Ji was inexplicably anxious, and said in a half-urging and half-uneasily way: "Xie Yun."
Xie Yun trembled slightly, as if she was forcibly pulled from fantasy to reality. She gently closed her eyes, then raised her feet and slowly walked towards him through the crowd.
Yin Ji's tense face relaxed. It seemed that today's determination was still useful. Xie Yun bowed her head again.
After getting the result he wanted, his anger naturally subsided. In fact, most of the time, it was very simple to make him calm down, as long as Xie Yun was obedient.
Today was the same.
He began to think about what would happen next. Since he was willing to let her serve him closely, the meaning should be very clear, right? Xie Yun was so smart, she should be able to understand that his words of disdain were just words spoken in anger, right?
He was thinking, and suddenly noticed that Xie Yun walked past him. He was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked over, and saw that the other party raised her hand to take down the sword hanging on the wall.
That was the Emperor's Sword, also known as the Imperial Sword. It had not been touched since Yin Ji moved in, but now it was taken down by Xie Yun.
His eyelids suddenly jumped, and his heart became uneasy: "What are you doing with this?"
Xie Yun drew the sword out of its sheath, her tone calm and almost indifferent: "I was thinking, if I lost these hands, would I not have to serve people?"
Whether it's you or Concubine Yue, I can stay away from you.
She lowered her eyes to look at her hands, sighed tiredly, and then her eyes became fierce, and she swung the sword to cut her wrist.
Yin Ji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he jumped forward in a step, grabbing her forearm tightly.
He didn't know whether he was angry or anxious, his body trembled violently, and even when he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "Xie Yun, are you crazy?"
"I'm just annoyed."
Xie Yun sighed lightly, her tone still calm, as if she didn't realize what would happen to her if Yin Ji didn't come to stop her.
She just looked at her hands that had become hopelessly rough without her noticing, and slowly shook her head: "I know what I am doing, please let go, Your Majesty."
Yin Ji subconsciously held tighter, and the thrilling scene just now made his heart beat fast, and even his thoughts were interrupted: "You, you..."
He said ‘you’ for a long time, but couldn't say the rest of the words.
Cai Tianxi was also frightened. He wanted to step forward to persuade him but didn't know how to start. He could only watch Xie Yun stomping her feet from a distance: "Miss Xie Yun, what are you doing?!"
Xie Yun was silent, and the huge inner hall of Qianyuan Palace was also audible.
Yin Ji seemed to have taken a long time to calm down, and took the Emperor's Sword from Xie Yun and threw it on the ground: "Are you so unwilling to serve others?"
Xie Yun lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, and did not speak for a long time.
But in Yin Ji's eyes, this was already the answer. His face darkened, but he didn't insist: "Go down, I don't need you to serve me anymore."
Xie Yun still didn't look up, and knelt down politely: "Yes, I'll take my leave."
The palace people were stunned by the sudden change just now. At this time, Xie Yun walked towards them step by step, and they came back to their senses and hurriedly made way.
Yin Ji staggered two steps and fell into the chair. The chill of fear crawled all over his body.
Cai Tianxi dared to come forward and looked worried: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Yin Ji didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on Xie Yun's back. He thought things were too simple. Xie Yun...
