"Your Majesty, it's just past midnight." Qiuzhu opened the curtain and took the clothes beside her to help Qingyin change.

Seeing that Qingyin had many more red ambiguous marks on her body, he turned his face away slightly.

Qingyin put on her clothes and sat down at the dining table. The palace maid had just brought food to the table. She picked up the porridge in front of her and ate it mouthful by mouthful.

After she finished eating, she asked, "When did your Majesty leave?"

Qiu Zhu scooped a bowl of soup for her and placed it on the table. "At 12:00, Li Zhang came running over and said he had something important to tell her."

Qingyin finished her soup, ate half a bowl of rice, and then put down the bowl.

"You ask someone to clean up, and we'll go out for a walk to help digest the food." Qingyin stood up and walked out.

Qiu Zhu nodded and followed.

The two of them walked casually and unknowingly came to the lakeside, where they saw lights on in the pavilion.

Qingyin wanted to go over, but when she entered the corridor, she heard a familiar voice coming from the corner.

"Lord Xiao, can you help me up?" Ye Tingting sat on the ground, looking up at Xiao Wei not far away.

Qingyin and Qiuzhu were standing in a position where they could see them, but they couldn't see them.

Before Qingyin could speak, Qiuzhu whispered, "Empress Dowager, why don't we wait here for a while." After saying that, she quickly lowered her head.

Qingyin had this intention already, so she didn't refuse.

Xiao Wei frowned and said, "Miss, I'll go call someone for you."

Ye Tingting quickly said, "No, don't go, I can stand up."

Xiao Wei paused, a little hesitant.

After Ye Tingting finished speaking, she stood up.

She tiptoed towards Xiao Wei, but Xiao Wei subconsciously took a step back. "Miss, if you are alright, I will take my leave."

"Oh." Ye Tingting suddenly cried out.

Xiao Wei turned around subconsciously, but when he noticed a figure rushing towards him, he twisted his body and turned around in an extremely tricky move.

Ye Tingting had no one to stop her and fell to the ground.

Qingyin almost laughed out loud.

Qiu Zhu began to worry.

As expected, after falling to the ground, Ye Tingting angrily said, "Xiao Wei, is this young lady so unattractive to you? You met me here tonight, don't you intend to admit your mistake?"

She knew that she had to grab Xiao Wei as a straw.

In the past, whenever my elder sister was unhappy, she would beat or scold me.

This time, she made her lose face so much in front of everyone, she will definitely not let herself go.

Xiao Wei looked at Ye Tingting in disbelief, "Why do you say that, Miss? We just met here by chance, we didn't..."

"It's nothing. As long as I say that it was you who asked me to come, you will see whether others will believe me or you." Ye Tingting vowed.

Qiu Zhu was a little anxious and almost couldn't help but stand out.

It was Qingyin who pulled her and signaled her to wait a little longer.

A hint of solemnity appeared on Xiao Wei's tough face. "Miss, why are you so reckless? I remember that I haven't offended you in the past."

Ye Tingting propped herself up and stood up, sneering, "Master Xiao, what are you talking about? Of course, you haven't offended me. I just like you, so I had to resort to this desperate measure."

As a concubine's daughter, she knew that her status was low.

But no matter how low it is, it is still more than enough to match this small seventh-rank captain.

If time wasn't so tight, she wouldn't have put herself in such a difficult position.

Fortunately, Xiao Weiren looked good, unlike other soldiers who were rough and had untidy faces.

From this perspective, Xiao Wei is actually quite good-looking.

A hint of shyness appeared on Ye Tingting's face. It was really as she said, she liked him.

Xiao Wei, however, felt disgusted. He clasped his fists and said, "Miss, I will pretend I didn't hear that. Besides, as a woman, you should be more reserved."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

However, after taking only half a step, Ye Tingting shouted, "If you take another step, I will call people and accuse you of molesting me."

Xiao Wei stopped and stared at the shimmering light on the lake under the lights in the distance.

Seeing people stop, Ye Tingting smiled triumphantly.

But before the smile could fully appear, it froze on his face.

"This is Miss Ye, right? I just felt that she looked familiar. I didn't expect it to be her!" Qingyin walked out from the corner with a smile on her face.

Ye Tingting froze for a moment, then bowed reluctantly, "Greetings, Empress Dowager."

Xiao Wei also turned around immediately and knelt on one knee, "May the Empress Dowager live long and healthy."

Qingyin gestured for the two to stand up. "Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I just came out to relax."

Xiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked up he was stunned.

If he saw it correctly.

The person next to the Empress Dowager is... her.

Qiu Zhu didn't expect that the two would meet again in such a situation.

However, the past is like smoke.

Even if we meet, we should not know each other.

Thinking of this, she stood calmly behind Qingyin, without even glancing at Xiao Wei.

She didn't notice the excitement that flashed in Xiao Wei's eyes when he saw her again.

Ye Tingting saw it, but she thought Xiao Wei was looking at Qingyin.

She had always known that Qingyin was extremely beautiful, and she always heard her elder sister calling her a vixen in private.

Because she knew that her elder sister actually also loved Prince Su.

Now she couldn't help but curse her in her heart, "A foxy woman!" But seeing that her plan was about to fail, she could only kneel down unwillingly, "Please, Her Majesty, make the decision for me."

Qingyin looked at her deeply and said, "Are you sure you want me to make the decision for you?"

Being stared at like that, Ye Tingting felt a little flustered.

Does she know?

As soon as she had this thought, she shook her head again.

It's impossible. This was all a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​mine. There's no way anyone else would know about it.

"Of course. Please, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, make the decision for me." Ye Tingting kowtowed again.

Xiao Wei's face was full of anxiety, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, Ye Tingting hasn't said anything yet. If I reject her openly, it will seem like I'm trying to cover up my guilt.

"Go ahead." Qingyin lost her patience.

She had already given her two chances, and since she didn't want it, it was no wonder.

"Your Majesty, I came here last night and happened to meet Lord Xiao. He said that he fell in love with me at first sight. I was startled and fell when I tried to leave. Lord Xiao came over to help me up. I, I..." As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Xiao Wei, as if she wanted to say something but was too shy to do so.

Xiao Wei felt that this man's ability to lie was truly terrifying.

After saying this, his expression remained completely unchanged, as if what he said was indeed true.

Qingyin glanced at Xiao Wei, "Is what she said true?"

Xiao Wei quickly shook his head, "I am innocent."

Before he could continue, Ye Tingting spoke first, "Your Majesty, I'm telling you this not to ask you to punish him, but... I also like him."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, and a hint of blush could be seen on his cheeks.
