Is the prince jealous today?

"What did you say?" Liu Yi froze.

"Take a bath." Xiaosi gritted his teeth and spoke with certainty.

Liu Yi took a deep breath, feeling that the whole person was not well: "You said that Qi Jian used rose petals to take a bath?"

No, how could a big man have such a weird hobby?Still taking a rose petal bath?Why don't you get some rose essential oil and rub it on your body?

In front of her eyes, Qi Jian's upper body appeared, lying on the bed and applying rose essential oil. Liu Yi took a breath, shook her head violently after a while, and left without saying a word.

Xiaosi knew this excuse, it was a little weird, but he didn't want Liu Yi to chat with Qi Jian in the future, and tell the story of him stealing roses. After thinking about it, Liu Yi would not mention such private things as taking a bath.

Seeing Liu Yi's expression, Xiao Si felt deeply ashamed of his master. He thought for a while, then turned to Liu Yi's back and said: "My son, he...had tried to die before."

The night was dark, there was no bird outside the window, chirping and screaming desolately, Liu Yi was leaning against the bed, her eyes were vacantly looking at the bright moon outside the window, as if she was thinking, or just in a daze.

After a long time, he blinked his eyes, curled his legs and hugged his knees.

Five years ago, I was protecting my parents and younger sister, sleeping in the wind and rushing to the west. What I thought about most was how to get a foothold in the west. There were a few tough battles that had to be fought, and a few battles that could be saved.

From the capital city to the west frontier, for two whole months, he only dreamed about it once or twice in the middle of the night in the dead of night, before he dared to think that he still owed a gift.

The person who was owed the gift was born noble, talented, proficient in martial arts, and had a beautiful face in a prosperous age.

It's just that the good buddy broke his promise and left without saying goodbye. It is estimated that he will be sad for a day or two, three or four days. He cheers up and can make new friends soon.

What's more, fourteen or five years old is an age of uncertainty, friendships come and go quickly, and in a few days, Qi Jian will be able to forget herself when she has new friends. Thinking of this, Liu Yi feels comfortable Quite a few, and put all my mind on the west again.

At that time, it was more important than anything else to be able to leave the capital, escape the established fate, and protect the Liu family to live safely in the west.

But at that time, he didn't know about King Qi, and naturally he didn't know, the person who was waiting for his gift foolishly, had held the wine jar and shed the mourning banner with tears, and didn't know...

How sad is it for a boy who is so dazzling and warm to cut open his wrist and then put it into the warm water covered with rose petals?

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Liu Yue was wearing a half-worn skirt, holding window grilles in her hand, her childish face was still there, and her body only reached Liu Yi's waist.

Liu Yi smiled and patted the top of her head, and quietly stuffed the jade card back into her collar: "Why doesn't Xiaoyue go play?"

Hearing this, Liu Yue pouted, her ten-year-old face was still full of flesh: "I don't want to play anymore, Shi Lei always bullies me."

"Thank God if you don't bully him, how dare he bully you?"

Liu Yue pouted, but said nothing.

"Is Xiaoyue worried?" Seeing her expression, Liu Yi felt comprehensible, rubbed the top of her head carelessly, and took a look at the window grille, "There is nothing scary about going to the battlefield, really, brother is not afraid at all."

"But last time, you were injured so badly." Liu Yue blinked and her eyes were red.

Liu Yi hurriedly comforted him: "That time was an accident, brother will be more careful in the future, and it will never happen again."

Hearing what her brother said, Liu Yue felt a little relieved, and then thought of other things: "Brother, will Brother Qi come to see us this year?"

Liu Yi's hand holding the window grill froze in the air.

"Brother?" Liu Yue raised her head in confusion, "Brother, Brother Qi is so good to you, and he took so long to rest during the Chinese New Year, won't he come to see us? Last time you were injured, he didn't come."

"He..." The word "he" weighs a thousand catties, and Liu Yi's throat and hair tightened, making him unable to speak.

But her sister was still looking at her, so Liu Yi had to clear her throat, and said softly: "He couldn't come even if he wanted to, don't you remember? We traveled for two months before we arrived in Sichuan."

Liu Yue frowned, wanting to say something else.

"Besides, he's not a child anymore. He has a lot of things to do, so he can't come whenever he wants."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, she fell silent.

The news of King Qi's death was heard from other officials who had been sent to Shu after they arrived in Shu. On the day of knowing the news, Liu Yi rode a horse and rushed out of the camp in the rain.

The war horses galloped around the camp, the neighing of the horses mixed with the sound of hooves and rain, hitting Liu Yi's heart one after another.

For many rainy nights later, this kind of echo echoed in his ears and heart.

Qi Jian is the only child of King Qi, who grew up with King Qi since he was a child, how deep his relationship with King Qi is, Liu Yi has seen everything in those two years.

King Qi is dead, how sad will Qi Jian be?

The rain blurred his eyes, Liu Yi tightened his grip on the horse's belly, not daring to think deeply.

He has been traveling day and night for two months, just trying his best to find a chance for the Liu family. For this chance, he is even willing to cut off the connection with Qi Jian himself.

However, if he had known earlier, King Qi would have passed away at that time, the Ruannuo boy had lost shelter in a short period of time, had nowhere to rely on, and could no longer live a stable life according to the established route.Could it still, in order to keep the Liu family, push Qi Jian far away?

can it?Liu Yi laughed at herself.

After I knew the news, didn't I rush back to the capital?Even, in order not to be accused of colluding with a king with a different surname, in five years, he didn't write a single letter to Qi Jian, and he didn't even inquire about Qi's mansion once.

It's obviously a cold-blooded snake, why pretend to be compassionate at this time.

Liu Yi covered her eyes and tried her best to shrink herself into a ball.

After hearing Xiaosi's words, Qi Jian just lowered his eyes and looked at the crumpled Heli letter.

"The imperial concubine said that he doesn't want this thing, what do you think, the imperial concubine?"

Xiaosuo holds the Heli book, and has the urge to burn it. The concubine Shizi doesn't want it, that means he doesn't want to reconcile and leave. If he doesn't die with Li Shizi again, he will have scruples If you don't want to die anymore, everyone's life will be peaceful. Thinking of this, Xiaosi's eyes showed joy.

"Take it to the study first." Qi Jian looked away from He Li's book, neither sad nor happy.

Xiaosi looked at his expression quietly, always feeling that something was wrong.

Qi Jian worked hard for most of the night yesterday, and hurried back to deal with Hua Qiong in the morning, and she was also tired now, so she didn't want to say anything, but narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the bright moon outside the window.

Looking up at the bright moon, bowing your head and thinking about your hometown, only a place with family members can be called a hometown.

The moon can only be bright in the hometown, and the other places will be difficult to calm after all.

Seeing that he hadn't looked at him for a long time, Xiaosi tentatively persuaded him: "Shi Zi, Shi Zifei is not unintentional to you. Is this a matter of reconciliation?"

Qi Jian squinted at him, raising her eyebrows.

"I mean that the concubine Shizi is interested, but I definitely don't mean that you are interested in him." Xiao Sifu went to the heart and denied it.

After denying it, he took a deep breath and mustered up his courage again for a stable life: "It's the concubine, and the concubine admires you, so why don't you drive him away?"

Qi Jian looked out of the window again: "Don't carry me behind your back, do something else."

Xiaosi's palms began to sweat.

"Don't try to cover Mizhang as a concubine, sometimes you must have it in your life, and there is no time in your life. Don't force it. Go on."

Xiaosi answered yes, pursed his lips, and backed away.

Qi Jian looked at his back, sighed, and continued to look at the moon.At that time, Liu Yi and I looked at the moon like this. The young Liu Yi spat out the skin of the melon seeds, pointed at the bright moon, and said something like a white jade plate.

After talking about the white jade plate, Liu Yi turned her head, smiled and opened her hands: "How about some melon seeds?"

The white jade plate, such a beautiful artistic conception, was completely destroyed by the melon seed peel at the corner of Liu Yi's mouth, Qi Jian shook his head, trying to forget this memory, and then he looked at the moon silently for a long time, still not sleepy at all.

He had to go to court tomorrow, so he couldn't sleep right now. He turned off the light, put down the bed curtain and lay down on his side. Before he could feel sleepy, he heard the sound of footsteps in the silent night outside the door.

Then came Xiaosi's voice: "My son, my concubine, ah, no, Mr. Liu is here."

Qi Jian froze for a moment, turned over and said, "What is he here for?"

Xiaosi's voice was not clear through the wooden door: "I don't know, Mr. Liu said, I need you for something, and I am sitting in the main hall right now."

The night was deep, even the chirping of birds and insects had stopped, Qi Jian looked at the sky and frowned.

For Liu Yi to come overnight and choose to wait in the main hall with serious matters, the biggest possibility is that something happened to the Liu family.

But it shouldn't be, the Liu family has left the capital now, and they have a heavy army in their hands. It's not the Liu family's turn to have an accident. What's more, the report received in the evening said that the Liu family's westward expedition is going well, and the army is marching towards the Shu area without any haste. .

The Liu family can't have an accident, so could it be that the news that the incident in the west has subsided has spread to the palace, and the emperor ordered the Liu family to return to court?

Sighing, Qi Jian shook her head and smiled wryly. This is even more impossible. She didn't take any medicine today, so why is her mind so confused?

The army has been sent out, so naturally there is no reason for the troops to return to the court halfway, otherwise Xi Rong will be punished by Di Ge every now and then, and he will stop when the army goes out, so there is no need to do anything else, just watch the army go back and forth every day, circling the capital Toss it.

It's impossible for Liu's family to have an accident, and it's impossible for the army to return to court, so what else can keep Liu Yi awake in the middle of the night, insisting on going to the main hall to meet him?

By the way, there is one more thing.

Qi Jian's breathing was slightly stagnant, enduring the boredom in her chest, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, the returned letter of He Li flashed in front of her eyes.

Liu Yi probably regretted it, so he hurried over and chose the main hall to ask for an interview. He wanted to get that and Li Shu back.

How could the moon under the sea be the moon in the sky? Five years ago, he was able to leave without any news. How could he choose himself five years later?

After grabbing the clothes, Qi Jian pushed the door out and came to the main hall with a sullen face.

Looking at Liu Yi who was sitting at the table eating melon seeds, Qi Jian narrowed her eyes, thinking of being able to leave, she couldn't fall asleep happily, eating and drinking to celebrate?

Liu Yi also saw Qi Jian, he smiled awkwardly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the jar: "Together?"

"Regret?" Qi Jian avoided the melon seeds, her expression darkened with determination.
