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

Chapter 150 Don't Call Godfather Randomly

Xiuxiu vaguely heard someone outside calling the emperor, and she opened the curtains and saw two shadows walking away one after the other.

Recognizing that they were Yin Ji and Cai Tianxi, she was a little nervous. Did the emperor see her letting Qi Yan in just now?

She felt a little uneasy, thinking that the emperor must be angry. She wanted to tell Xie Yun and let her think of a solution, but she was afraid that she was worrying too much, and the emperor might not even look at this side.

She was a little hesitant and had to watch the two people talking, but neither of them paid attention to her.

In fact, Qi Yan came this time because he heard the news that the queen mother summoned Yin Ji back to the palace. He also knew that Xie Yun should not move at the moment, and he was afraid that she would worry, so he came to comfort her.

"Don't worry, young lady. Even if the emperor returns to the palace, I will make proper arrangements. My friend has a courtyard not far from here. It will take only a quarter of an hour by carriage. I will ask someone to arrange it so that young lady can have a place to stay."

Xie Yun drooped her eyelids. She knew that Qi Yan was kind-hearted, but she didn't want to get involved with him too much. She was going to southern Yunnan and couldn't give anyone a promise or future.

"Thank you, sir, but the palace servants have their own places to go, so I won't bother you."

Qi Yan looked disappointed, but he didn't argue with Xie Yun tactfully, probably because he knew that it would be useless even if he spoke up: "Young lady, you mean the temporary palace? If you want to go, just go, but I still have to arrange my people. Even if I can only help young lady occasionally, it's worth it."

Xie Yun didn't know what to say for a moment. She was indeed touched, but she felt more powerless and guilty.

In her memory, she didn't take any special care of Qi Yan. She couldn't even remember how many times they had met. Now that the Xie family was defeated, it was rare that the other party didn't take advantage of her misfortune. She was still taking care of her in every way. She really couldn't bear such kindness.

"Master Qi, I..."

"Girl, take a rest," Qi Yan interrupted her, as if knowing that she was going to say something unpleasant, and stood up, "I'll come again another day."

He didn't want to listen, and Xie Yun couldn't force him. Anyway, looking at this look, the other party already knew what she was going to say, but-

"Master, you are busy every day, so don't worry about me. I also like peace and quiet."

Qi Yan paused slightly, and his already gloomy face became more gloomy, but he didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and bowed as a farewell, and then walked away.

Xie Yun looked at his back and sighed. It was really a sin. She hadn't repaid his life-saving grace yet, and she was making people sad, but short pain was better than long pain. She couldn't drag Qi Yan down; this was considered repaying the favour.

She retracted her gaze and fumbled to the bedside to get the book she had read before. She was in good spirits now, not falling asleep easily like before, so she asked Xiuxiu to find a book to pass the time. Most of the hunters in the hunting ground were military generals, and the books were all military books, but she didn't find them obscure.

When she was young, her brother Xie Ji always got into trouble, did not do well in his studies, and was often punished to recite books. She had copied for him twice by imitating his handwriting.

It was such a long time ago, she thought she would forget what she wrote at the time, but she didn't expect that now she could recite the rest after reading the first half.

But even so, she couldn't read for long, because Xiuxiu was too noticeable, walking around her and not stopping for a moment.

She sighed and put the military book on the quilt: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Xiuxiu smiled embarrassedly and turned her head away guiltily: "How can I say anything, aunt, please read the book."

Xie Yun looked up at her: "The wind you bring when you walk can turn the pages of the book, how can I read it? What's wrong?"

Xiuxiu sat down on the bed: "Aunt, the emperor seemed to see Lord Qi coming in just now..."

Xie Yun was slightly startled; did he see it?

She touched the spine of the book unconsciously, and her mood was quite complicated. When she let someone in just now, she actually thought about whether Yin Ji had not gone far, or just met Qi Yan on the road, and knew that she had met Qi Yan.

But after a brief hesitation, she still let him in.

What if he knew? Anyway, she was expecting Yin Ji to leave her here.

Now this matter is probably set in stone. With Yin Ji's current temper, he might not come to her again before leaving.

It's fine.

"Don't worry about it."

She lowered her eyes and opened the book again, but Xiuxiu was a little anxious: "But the emperor came so many times before and you didn't see him. If he..."

"It's okay," Xie Yun smiled soothingly. She didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, "You go down."

Xiuxiu couldn't say anything more, so she could only retreat with a frown, but as soon as she opened the tent curtain, she saw Cai Tianxi coming towards her.

"Is Miss Xie awake? Maybe she can say a few words to us?"

Xiuxiu looked at Xie Yun hesitantly, and only let Cai Tianxi in when she saw her nod, but then she became more worried. Why is she willing to see everyone but not the emperor?

She squatted by the door in sorrow and began to sulk. Suddenly, she was kicked. She shivered all over and subconsciously thought that the emperor came to settle the score. She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it!"

Xue Jing: "... Look carefully at who I am."

Xiuxiu looked up timidly and was relieved when she saw Xue Jing's face: "It turned out to be Eunuch Dechun. I was scared to death."

She patted her chest, still a little frightened. Xue Jing wanted to ask her what she had done wrong and correct her way of calling him, but seeing her pale face, he couldn't say it in the end, and only asked about Cai Tianxi.

"I'm here to look for my godfather. Is he here?"

Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly. Her mind was still a little confused. She didn't think clearly and said subconsciously, "Looking for godfather, right? Yes, yes, I'm talking to my aunt..."

As she spoke, she stretched her neck and got into the tent: "Godfather, Eunuch Dechun is looking for you."

Xue Jing: "..."

Without waiting for Cai Tianxi to come out, he dragged Xiuxiu to a corner: "That's my godfather. Why are you shouting?"

Do you know what gossip will spread if others hear this?

However, Xiuxiu was unaware. She blinked her eyes and looked confused: "It's yours. I didn't snatch it from you."

Xue Jing was choked. He wanted to explain but felt that he was making a fuss. Xiuxiu was only fourteen years old. What did she know?
