Chapter 179 One life for another
The snow fox beside him felt her disordered breath and crawled onto her chest, looking at her with big eyes: "Zhizhizhi."
Qing Jiu touched its head and sat up holding it.
Looking at the empty bedroom.
I don’t know how long I sat there, but a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came outside the bedroom.
Hesitantly paced back and forth.
She turned her head and looked towards the door. The footsteps were very soft. If she hadn't been awake at this moment, she wouldn't feel them at all. The man seemed to be hesitating. Qing Jiu walked out of the bed with the snow fox in his arms, and his white ankles were stepped on the ground, crystal clear, like a good white jade. She walked to the door and opened the door.
The people outside the bedroom were startled and saw Qing Jiu's sober gaze.
He immediately knelt down slightly.
This time, Qing Jiu was stunned, "Mr. Zhu, what are you doing?"
"Miss Three..."
Zhu Chi's voice was a little hoarse, "...Please save the emperor."
...
She let Zhu Chi into the bedroom, and she sat opposite him, her eyes floating, very complicated: "What do you mean by what you said just now? What's wrong with Xiao Qi? Why do you need me to save him?"
"Only the third lady can save the emperor."
Zhu Chi knelt on the ground again, his head buried deep in his arms, and his shoulders almost pressed against the ground.
“…”
Qing Jiu's eyes became deeper and deeper, "Tell me everything."
Zhu Chi's body trembled, his forehead pressed against the ground, knowing that he shouldn't have come this time.
But how could he watch the emperor die?
"Miss Three, although I only know that this sentence is a bit too much, the emperor is the support of the entire Nanling Kingdom. He cannot fall, nor can he fall."
“…”
"Master, he wants to save the third lady."
Qing Jiu frowned and looked down at Zhu Chi with a frown, "What are you talking about?"
Her body has no choice but to Leng Yi, how can he save her?
Zhu Chi took a deep breath and said, "I accidentally heard the conversation between the emperor and King Ning. The emperor had already written the edict. If he..., he would give the throne to King Ning and ask King Ning to take good care of the third lady. I don't know how the emperor would save the third lady, but depending on this situation, it should be... one life will be exchanged for another."
"One life...exchange life..."
Qing Jiu felt like his head was hammered by a muffled thunder.
She was in pain and confused. She stared at Zhu Chi in a daze. One life was exchanged for another? It should be what she understood.
But this is clearly what she meant, why did she feel a little confused? Didn’t he say he wanted to let him go? But why did it suddenly become like this?
Did he think he would forgive him if he did this?
Did he think she could live with peace of mind if he died?
What did he think if one life is exchanged for another life?
Her eyes became redder and redder, and she stood up and ran out of the hall.
"Miss Three..."
He threw away the sound behind his head, walked out constantly, and walked towards Xiao Qi's bedroom.
When she arrived outside his bedroom, she broke in directly. The guards wanted to stop her, but they thought of the emperor's attitude towards her. If they hurt her, it would be a serious crime to lose their heads. They were still hesitating, and Qing Jiu had already stepped into the bedroom. However, she was empty-handed.
There was no Xiao Qi in the bedroom.
She gasped, and the more confused she felt, the calmer she felt on her face. She glanced around and suddenly her eyes were fixed on the secret room leading to the realm outside the sky.
Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the secret room...
...
The secret passage slowly opened, and she looked at the tall figure under the love kite flowers in the sky.
The eyes were darker.
Hearing the movement behind him, Xiao Qi turned his head and was completely stunned when he saw Qing Jiu who shouldn't have appeared here at this moment.
He couldn't even tell whether it was real or just a dream he imagined.
The last place he wanted to bring her to was here.
At the beginning, he told her here that he would not hurt her.
But in the end, he was the one who hurt her the most... He walked forward with a wry smile, stood in the middle of the night and his body was cold. His fingertips touched her face and felt her warmth. He seemed to suddenly wake up, in a daze, incredible: "Snake Snake?"
"Xiao Qi..."
Qing Jiu narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and grabbed his cold hand.
The latter, his body frowned and stiff.
Qingjiu approached him, raised his head, and his Mah Ren was filled with anger: "What the hell do you want to do?"
"..." Xiao Qi was silent, not understanding why she suddenly got so angry.
"You talk? What do you want to do? What does it mean to exchange your life for me? When will I tell you that I need you to save me! Xiao Qi, are you crazy?" She yelled at him, her face so pale. If Zhu Chi didn't tell her, would he have lie to her with Leng Yi? Exchange his life for her? Ha, what do they think of her?
“…”
Xiao Qi's face also turned pale, and his voice was a little panicked, "Who...who told you?"
"You care..." She laughed softly, raised her head and glanced at him sideways, "Just tell me what exactly are you going to do?"
"..." Xiao Qi opened his mouth, his eyes dim, "Snake, I have no choice." If he was allowed to watch her age day by day, wouldn't he understand that she would get angry if she knew it? But he couldn't see her die.
"But I don't need it."
Qing Jiu gritted his teeth and looked at him hard, exchanging his life for her life. Even if he is alive, how can she feel at ease?
"It may not be dead..." Xiao Qi held her face comfortably, "It may not be."
“…I won’t trust you anymore.”
Qing Jiu waved his hand away, and he said that letting her go was fake. Is he saying goodbye to her again? Or is he the last miss before his death?
"Snake?"
"Stay away from me."
Qing Jiu retreated, she would not give him this opportunity.
She left the palace now and fled far away. She would never come back or see him again...
"Snake Snake..." Seeing her thoughts, Xiao Qi's face turned paler.
Qing Jiu immediately turned around and ran towards the road he came, but before he could run a few steps, he was suddenly surrounded by a long arm and hugged it in his chest, tightly clamped, "Snake, calm down, I may not die, really may not."
