When Xiao Qi came to Huayin Hall, the child's face was red with fever.
She closed her eyes tightly, and beads of sweat overflowed on her forehead. She seemed to have had some kind of nightmare, and was in a trance and uneasy.
Xiao Qi sat by the bed, looking at her uncomfortable look, and couldn't help but use the wide sleeves of the dragon robe to wipe away her sweat. Then, he stretched out his hand and found that her forehead was hot, and his heart was inexplicably tugged. That
There is a subtle and strange feeling, like something is blocked in the chest and I can't breathe.
"Let me out, I don't want to stay in the laboratory... I don't want... I don't want..."
Suddenly, the child murmured in pain, and the suppressed pain made her shrink into a ball.
Xiao Qi got close to her, picked her up, held her in his arms, and patted her back comfortingly, "Li'er, be good, it's okay, it's okay."
"...It's so dark in the laboratory, I'm so scared..."
She struggled painfully, waving her little hands around as if trying to grab a support point.
Xiao Qi held one of her little hands in his palm, pressed his forehead against her little head, and reassured her over and over again: "It's okay... this is the palace, it's safe."
After a long time, the child finally settled down.
But Xiao Qi was even more confused. What kind of laboratory was she talking about just now? Let her out?
Could it be that she was imprisoned by people in the general's mansion?
A cold light flashed across his eyes, and it seemed that he should ask his men to investigate.
Lowering his head again, he saw that the child had opened her eyes and was looking at him with squinted eyes. Her expression was very strange, and could even be said to be disgusting. Seeing her dark eyes staring at him like this, he felt inexplicably...
He pulled it a bit and tentatively called out: "Li'er?"
"Crack!"
What he received in response was a hard slap.
It was obvious that the child had used force, but because she was still young, the blow to her face did not actually hurt.
But everyone in the dormitory was shocked.
Including Mu Yan'er who had just entered the dormitory. She had just stepped into the door of the dormitory with one foot, and she was just stunned on the spot. The emperor... was beaten?
After reacting, she became proud.
How can you be so embarrassed when you look at a little thing now? Beating the emperor would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
However, what surprised her was that instead of being angry, Xiao Qi hugged her even tighter and waved his other hand in front of her eyes, "Li'er, do you still recognize me?"
"..."
Qing Jiu didn't speak, she still maintained her previous actions.
After the beating, she regained consciousness.
This is not a dream. In the dream, her hands will not be numb, and her senses will not be so clear. It is so clear that she just wants to escape from this person's arms, thinking that he was holding that woman last night with so much affection, especially that "love"
The words made the fire in her heart get stronger and stronger.
She suddenly kicked Xiao Qi's waist. For the usual Xiao Qi, this might not be a big deal.
But after she kicked off, she clearly felt Xiao Qi's body stiffen, and even his face turned pale.
She curled her lips and burst into tears: "Yiyi, I want Yiyi... go away! go away!"
After saying that, he crawled out of Xiaoqi's arms.
Xiao Qi didn't move, Zhu Chi was already standing behind him, and he could clearly feel his suppressed breathing, as if he was holding back something. He lowered his head and looked towards the place where the child had just stepped, and was surprised to find that there was a slow movement there.
With blood oozing out, his eyes widened in surprise: "Your Majesty..."
"Back off!"
Xiao Qi shouted sharply, took a deep breath, and acted as if nothing was wrong.
He stretched out his hand and took the child over, "Li'er, be good. Yiyi has something to do and went home. Li'er can stay with me from now on, okay?"
"not good!"
The child lowered his head and did not look at him.
She arched up and down on him uncomfortably.
Xiao Qi's face also turned paler.
Qing Jiu also felt something strange about him, especially the smell of blood in her nose, which made her eyebrows twitch up on her drooping little face. When she lowered her head, she saw the clear blood marks on his bright yellow dragon robe, and she was even more "scared" to the point of being scared.
Xiao Qi struggled out of Xiao Qi's arms and hid in a corner, "Blood...blood blood..."
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment. Seeing her frightened look, he was also at a loss.
He had never coaxed a child before, and he didn't know how to coax him.
But she was so scared that he lowered his head and saw the blood on his waist, and did not dare to step forward rashly. Looking at her still red face, he looked coldly at the doctor at the door: "Why don't you come in and replace the third lady?"
have a look."
"It's the Emperor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial doctors immediately came forward one by one to make a diagnosis.
Qing Jiu really didn't want to see Xiao Qi. Seeing him now would only remind her of what happened last night. She felt like she was holding a breath in her chest, which was extremely comfortable.
Therefore, it is also very cooperative.
The imperial doctor quickly came to a unanimous conclusion, "Your Majesty, the third lady just suffered from cold."
"Then hurry up and get the medicine!"
"Yes yes!"
After the imperial doctors went down, Xiao Qi wanted to comfort the child again, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the child took a step back. Her obvious avoidance made Xiao Qi feel a little depressed, and her handsome eyebrows kept frowning.
But he didn't dare to push her too hard.
She is still sick, not to mention, what can a child understand...
He must be overthinking it, otherwise, why would he always feel that the child's eyes when he just woke up are so...familiar?
"emperor?"
Behind him, Xiao Yuyan's voice suddenly sounded.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and turned around to look at the door. He saw Xiao Yuyan standing by the door. When he saw Mu Yan'er beside him, he lowered his head strangely. When he passed by her, he just stayed away.
After a few steps, Mu Yaner stared at this.
Xiao Yuyan acted as if he hadn't seen it. He lowered his head and walked quickly to Xiao Qi: "Your Majesty, I... I'm late."
I don't know if he also suffered from the cold, but Xiao Yuyan's voice was also a little hoarse.
It sounds extremely weird.
Xiao Qi nodded and said "Yeah", "It's okay. You can go down first."
"……yes."
Xiao Yuyan quickly raised his head and glanced at Xiao Qi. His peach blossom eyes were extremely complicated, as if he was afraid and mixed with something else.
Not daring to stay any longer, he immediately turned around and left. When leaving, he still walked around Mu Yan'er to the door, and his back quickly disappeared at the end.
If it wasn't intentional the first time, then it would be a bit deliberate if it happens the second time.
Mu Yan'er held her hands tightly and didn't understand why everything seemed to have changed just overnight. None of the results she had expected happened, and instead she followed the opposite path.
