Chapter 85 Better for You

"You are the nagging one! I am just reminding you kindly, don't you know how anxious the master was last night?" Qingqing became furious when she heard Qing Yi's words, and said in a bad tone.

"Huh? What's wrong with Xiaoye? Why are you so anxious?" Qing Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.

"What do you think? When the master learned that you were arrested, he broke into the government office in the capital and the Dali Temple overnight." Qingqing thought of the thrilling incident last night and was still frightened, so she said indignantly.

"Ah? Why? Didn't I tell you to tell him not to worry? I know in my heart that those people can't do anything to me." Qing Yi didn't expect that Xiao Ye would do such a earth-shattering thing for him.

"Haha, how can I not be anxious? If you are really transferred to the Dali Temple, that place will be heavily guarded and full of experts. No matter how powerful you are, you will probably not be able to escape. Not to mention the master, even I haven't slept all night." He said softly and sighed heavily.

"...Worried about me?" He could understand that Xiao Ye was worried about him, but Qingqing, this girl, always disliked him. Even if her attitude towards him had changed now, it was probably because of his master.

"...Nonsense, why would I worry about you!" Qingqing quickly denied it, her face slightly flushed, and she said stubbornly, "I was thinking, if something happened to you, my master would be so sad. I'm worried about my master."

"Well, you little girl, stop showing your loyalty. Your master can't hear you." Qing Yi shook his head helplessly. He knew it was like this. Qingqing, this girl, was obsessed with his master.

"The master is so good to you. You must consider the master more before doing anything." Qingqing couldn't help but remind him again.

"Am I not good to him?" Qing Yi asked with a puzzled look. He felt that apart from his master and senior brother Beichen, Xiao Ye was the closest person to him in the world, and he was usually nice enough to him.

"Ah..." She let out a long, soft sigh. She couldn't quite explain this feeling. Over the past three years, she'd watched Qing Yi's importance in her master's heart grow. But Qing Yi wasn't a steady person, and his style of action was more spontaneous. Most of the time, Qing Yi appeared easy to talk to and communicate with, but in reality, it was her master who compromised and tolerated everything he did.

"Hey, Qing girl, why are you sighing? Just say what you want to say! I always thought you were a straightforward person, but now you have learned to hesitate and sigh?" Qing Yi fiddled with the sword in his hand boredly. The sword body flashed coldly in the sunlight, reflecting the unruly look in his eyes and brows.

She rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's all. You'll understand later. Remember, the Master is very kind to you. You can't let him get hurt. You should know how much the Master worries about you every day."

"You don't need to nag me, of course I know he treats me well. Don't worry, when I get married to your master, I will let you wait at the door and give you a chance to watch the fun from close proximity." Qing Yi deliberately teased Qingqing.

"Haha, I won't go. You can let Sister Ruyi go. She has a gentle personality and is careful in her work. It is appropriate for her to wait at the door." Qingqing was not angry, but responded with a smile.

"Well, that's fine. Let her eavesdrop at the door." Qing Yi nodded pretentiously, but his eyes were full of mischief.

Qing Yi and Qing Qing chatted idly, their topics ranging from Ye Qingyu's preferences to the newly opened dim sum shop in the capital, and then to the recent interesting events in the martial arts world. Time passed quietly in this idle chat, and the two of them did not feel bored, just quietly waiting for news from Ye Qingyu.

Let’s talk about Ye Qingyu entering the palace alone.

"Young Prince, why are you coming to the palace so early today?" Eunuch Chang saw from afar that it was the Young Prince of the Northwest, Ye Qingyu, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a big smile on his face.

"Is the emperor in the imperial study?" Ye Qingyu asked.

"The Emperor just came home from his morning court session. He has gone to visit Concubine Mei." Eunuch Chang replied with a smile, thinking to himself that the Emperor is very fond of Concubine Mei now, and it is really unfortunate that the young prince has come this time.

"Well, please ask Eunuch Chang to inform the emperor and tell him that I am here to apologize." After Ye Qingyu finished speaking, he knelt at the door of the imperial study.

"Hey, little prince, what are you doing?" Eunuch Chang was frightened by this sudden action. Why did the little prince of the northwest suddenly kneel down? Did he commit some terrible crime? But I didn't hear that the emperor would blame him.

"Eunuch Chang, please go and report to the emperor. I am so scared that I can't get the forgiveness of my uncle the emperor. How dare I get up?" Ye Qingyu said solemnly and seriously.

Seeing how determined the young prince was, Eunuch Chang thought he must have made a big mistake, so he didn't dare to pull him up rashly. He turned around in a hurry and trotted all the way to Ningxiang Palace to find the emperor.

Not long after, the Emperor of Chu hurried over and saw from afar Ye Qingyu kneeling upright at the door of the imperial study.

"Qingyu, why are you kneeling here?" Emperor Chu frowned and asked.

"Uncle Emperor, I am here to apologize to you. Yesterday, I was impulsive and broke into the government office and the Dali Temple in the capital, disturbing Lord Lu." Ye Qingyu said truthfully. He knew in his heart that Lu Yuan would report the matter to the emperor truthfully.

"Oh? I already know about this. Get up. Don't be so rash in the future. Be more steady." The Emperor of Chu said it lightly, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.

After the morning court session, Dali Temple Minister Lu Yuan reported in detail to the Emperor of Chu about the Northwest Prince's nighttime intrusion into the Dali Temple. Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Chu nodded slightly, without expressing his opinion, only saying that he understood.

The Emperor of Chu was puzzled. He hadn't even approached Qingyu to ask about this matter, yet this boy had come to apologize on his own initiative. What on earth was he up to? Just now, Eunuch Chang had reported that the young prince of the Northwest was kneeling in front of the imperial study, and he had said he wouldn't get up unless the emperor arrived. Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Chu ignored Concubine Mei's attempts to persuade him to stay and immediately rushed to the imperial study.

"Thank you, uncle." Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyu hurriedly stood up. He was so fast that even Eunuch Chang beside him couldn't help but murmur in his heart that this little prince of the northwest didn't look like he came to apologize sincerely, but seemed to be just going through the motions.

"You! Since you're here, play a game of chess with me." The Emperor of Chu smiled and called Ye Qingyu into the imperial study. Seeing this, Eunuch Chang hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea and also sent someone to prepare the little prince's favorite dessert.
