Quick Wear: After I captured the hero, I ran away with the ball

"Empress--" The girl's voice like a silver bell came into the store. Xiao Wen couldn't help but raise his head curiously and looked over. Just as he saw the hem of the girl's skirt, he suddenly fell to the ground due to an injury on his knee.

He was so frightened that before he could steady himself, someone forced his head down.

Chi Yue just knew He Shu's identity, and now he was all in her heart and eyes. She didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the hall. She wanted to hug He Shu, but was worried that the news would be leaked by the people around her, so she had to stop.

He Shu silently withdrew his hand that was about to catch her. His face was calm, but he was wildly guessing in his heart: "Did she want to hug me just now?"

"Empress." Chi Yue bowed weakly and was about to send the person away when she turned her head slightly and found Xiao Wen kneeling on the ground.

Xiao Wen entered the palace secretly and was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, but his temperament had nothing to do with that of a eunuch.

Chi Yue looked at him curiously and asked, "Empress, what mistake did he make?"

He Shu's heart was in his throat. He was really afraid that she would have wild thoughts, and he was also afraid that he would lie to her and she would get angry if she knew about it. He paused and said, "He just spilled the tea, and he knelt down before I could do anything."

Then he turned to look at Xiao Wen and said, "Forget about what happened just now. Be careful from now on. Let's all get out first."

Xiao Wen cursed in his heart. It was all because of He Shu that he became like this. He really forgot about his brothers once he had a wife.

Forget it, this is all inherited from the He family. He will just let it go this time. He doesn’t know if He Shu has seen the gift he sent.

Xiao Wen chuckled silently. Chi Yue saw the corner of his mouth raised, and her doubts grew stronger: "System, check this person for me."

This time the system quickly investigated Xiao Wen's identity.

"Xiao Wen is the eldest son of the Xiao family. His father is a subordinate of General He." The system paused and continued, "Xiao Wen and He Shu are childhood sweethearts. Countless people have speculated that He Shu's cold attitude towards the prince is because he has a lover, and that person is Xiao Wen.

But, host, you have also seen that He Shu is a man, so the rumors are not credible."

Chi Yue nodded. Seeing that she was absent-minded, He Shu reminded her, "The milk tea is ready, and I've also prepared your favorite snacks."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." Chi Yue said with a smile, and then walked skillfully to the courtyard where they often drank tea.

But even while drinking milk tea and eating pastries, Chi Yue was still a little depressed. She couldn't wait to have a frank talk with He Shu.

But the system just reminded her that her task has not been completed yet, so now is not the time to confess to He Shu. At least she has to wait until her task is completed.

He Shu saw her smiling when she came, but she suddenly looked so dejected that he was confused and worried: "But what happened?"

"I miss home." There was a hint of sadness between Chi Yue's brows. She was always particularly sad when she mentioned her family.

He Shu seemed not to have thought of this, but on second thought, A Yue had been in the palace for several months, but the Chi family had not sent any news at all. This was not normal no matter how he thought about it.

Almost in an instant, he determined who was behind it.

It's also his fault. He has been focusing all his attention on A Yue recently, thinking about how to protect her, and forgot such an important thing.

"Bixiao." He Shu called softly, and a woman dressed in palace maid's clothes slowly walked in.

Her lower body was extremely stable, and one could tell at a glance that she had practiced martial arts for many years. She walked without making any sound. Although she lowered her head, Chi Yue knew that her eyes were on him. She was the Xiao family's secret guard.

He Shu looked at Chi Yue who was still stunned and said, "This is Bi Xiao. She knows a little bit of Kung Fu. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell her."

Chi Yue is not a fool, she knows that He Shu gave Bi Xiao to her so that she could get in touch with the Chi family, and it seems that Bi Xiao should be someone He Shu is close to.

"I thank the Queen." Chi Yue curved her eyebrows and looked at Bi Xiao carefully.

He Shu turned to look at Bi Xiao, his voice still a little harsh: "From now on, you will be the concubine's person."

Chi Yue was stunned for a moment, she originally thought that He Shu was just lending her the He family's connections in the palace, but she didn't expect that he would directly give the person to her. This would be of great benefit to her future plans.

Bi Xiao knelt down and said, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine. If you have anything to say in the future, just let me know."

Bixiao's expression was too serious, and Chi Yue felt a little embarrassed: "You should get up first, and let Taozhu take you to get familiar with Xingyue Palace."

Tao Zhu had been standing not far away, thinking about something in her mind. When she heard Chi Yue's call, she slowly walked in: "My Lady."

"Put Dongbula down and take Bixiao to Xingyue Palace. From now on, she will be my personal maid just like you."

Tao Zhu was horrified when she heard this, but because the Queen was here, she had to endure it, thinking that she would persuade the Imperial Concubine after returning.

"Yes, I'll take my leave first." Taozhu took Bixiao away, and only Zilin and the two of them were left around.

"Empress, I have recently learned to play this musical instrument and wanted to let you listen to it. However, I am not very good at it, so please don't punish me if I say something unpleasant." Chi Yue said coquettishly.

He Shu's heart softened. He didn't hear clearly what she said and nodded slightly.

Chi Yue hugged the dombra and began to play slowly. Her quick training over the past few days was effective. The tune was melodious, as if a woman was expressing her love to her husband.

He Shu looked at the woman's charming profile, but felt a little upset.

Who are you thinking of when you play this piece?

He met her three times as a man, but never dared to take off the veil on his face. He didn't dare let her know his identity, and he was afraid that she would be heartbroken when she knew that he was not Li Ji.

But he did not regret having her. He had always been so selfish. Even if she didn't have him in her heart at all, he would keep her by his side for the rest of her life.

After the song ended, the sound slowly stopped, but He Shu still stayed in the melody, feeling the love of the girl hidden in the song.

"Empress..." Chi Yue called him several times before he came back to his senses, "What do you think of the performance I just played?"

Seeing the woman's somewhat nervous expression, He Shu's eyes were full of stars: "Very good."

Even if she doesn't have him in her heart now, she will know who is the one who truly treats her well in the future.

Chi Yue patted her chest and said with a smile: "That's good. I was afraid that I would defile your ears."

He Shu felt warmer in the heart when he saw that she cared about him so much, but the next sentence seemed to throw him back into the ice cellar.
