prairie fire
Liu Zai Xi dreamed that something bit him in his sleep and woke up not long after.
When I open my eyes, I see endless autumn.
"You're awake." Liu Zai Xi had not fully recovered. He was exhausted and his limbs were weak. He was half leaning on the bed, looking lazy and affectionate.
His eyes opened and closed, trembling like a butterfly flapping its wings.
"By the way, has your fever gone down?" Liu Zai Xi yawned and spoke vaguely, then stretched out his hand. Qiu Wuji was very obedient and took the initiative to lean his forehead over.
Liu Zaixi touched Qiu Wuji's bed, then touched his own, feeling relieved. He muttered as he touched his bed, "I should have slept on the floor earlier. It seems like I made you sick, although it seems so, but..."
He was obviously very sleepy, but he kept chattering.
With a light laugh, Liu Zai Xi half-closed his eyes.
"Are you laughing at me? Huh?"
Qiu Wuji explained: "It's just that if you sleep on the ground, you will be the one who gets sick."
Liu Zai Xi, who had just woken up, was completely unable to think clearly, so he nodded.
The silly Liu Zai Xi looked a little funny.
At this time, there was a knock on the door and Xiaozhu pushed the door open with medicine.
Seeing Xiaozhu coming, Liu Zaixi forced himself to be alert and immediately stood up to take the medicine from Xiaozhu. "You are not well yet, so you don't need to do these things. Don't you have a maid in the mansion?"
A warm current surged in Xiaozhu's heart and spread throughout his body, making him feel extremely warm.
"Miss, you forgot that I am also a maid."
Liu Zaixi rolled her eyes and pursed her lips: "Then there's no need for an injured maid to do these things."
"Hehe, actually I wanted to come and see the princess. The princess has been with the prince these past two days and has forgotten about Xiaozhu."
This statement seemed to be correct, but Liu Zai Xi got goosebumps for no reason.
"How could I forget you?" He said, scratching Xiaozhu's nose.
Her attention returned to the medicine, and she suddenly remembered how she had coaxed Qiu Wuji just now. Embarrassment spread. She hoped that Qiu Wuji didn't remember what happened when he was sick, otherwise her reputation would be ruined.
Liu Zaixi was at a loss as to what to do with the medicine in his hand. Who knew that Qiu Wuji's sweet "Xi'er" almost made the bowl of medicine kiss the earth.
"Aren't you feeding me like you did just now?" Qiu Wuji's tone was endearing. If it were those little fans, they would have been completely fascinated by him.
When Xiao Zhu heard the intimate tone, she automatically imagined what had just happened in her mind. Her cheeks flushed red. She quickly said, "The prince and princess have a very good relationship," and left quickly.
Liu Zaixi didn't dare to look back while holding the medicine, until Qiu Wuji called her again, then she shuddered and turned back.
Strong and calm, he brought the medicine to Qiu Wuji and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Drink it quickly."
Qiu Wuji just grabbed Liu Zaixi's hand and refused to let go, "Xi'er, feed me."
"Qiu Wuji! How old are you?" Liu Zaixi became angry and embarrassed.
Hearing Liu Zaixi's roar, Qiu Wuji lowered his head and said nothing. Since he had just gotten up, his hair was still a little messy, with a few strands sticking up unruly. He looked like a mess.
Liu Zai Xi was not soft-hearted. He handed the medicine over and signaled Qiu Wuji to drink it himself.
Qiu Wuji raised his eyes, tears glistening in them, but he did not continue to argue. He obediently took the medicine and drank it all. The bitter medicine flowed down his mouth, passed over his Adam's apple, and hid in his inner clothes.
Liu Zai Xi breathed a sigh of relief, took the bowl and was about to put it on the table, but his hand was suddenly grabbed and he was pulled into Qiu Wu Ji's arms, sitting on Qiu Wu Ji's legs. Liu Zai Xi was about to struggle, but before he could move, an electric current spread throughout his body, and Liu Zai Xi became stiff and unable to move.
Qiu Wuji put his arm around Liu Zaixi's waist, parted her hair, and kissed the back of her neck.
As if scalded, Liu Zaixi rubbed the area desperately, trying to wipe away the abnormality, but it didn't work. Instead,...
It's burning.
"Qiu Wuji, are you sick?"
Qiu Wuji imprisoned Liu Zai Xi, and Liu Zai Xi could only flutter in his arms, like a bird in a cage, unable to escape.
"Does lovesickness count?" Qiu Wuji put his ear close to Liu Zaixi's ear and breathed hotly at her.
"Xi'er, I think I'm starting to take this seriously. Can we stop pretending?"
Liu Zaixi's mind was in a mess. "Do you have a fever again?"
"Touch me, I'm not sick."
Liu Zai Xi pushed hard with his arm, and Qiu Wu Ji relaxed in pain, and Liu Zai Xi took the opportunity to escape.
"Bastard! You filthy scoundrel!" After cursing, he ran away quickly.
Qiu Wuji was left feeling unsatisfied. At this time, even if Liu Zaixi beat him, he would applaud and say that Xier was really strong.

Liu Zai Xi hurriedly fled from the room and patted his face, which was very hot. Liu Zai Xi raised his head and covered his face. What was going on? He was so old and still being teased by these things. It was really crazy.
Liu Zai Xi thought for a moment and went to find Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu looked at Liu Zaixi pulling her to pack her luggage and began to be puzzled, "Princess, didn't we just move into the palace? Why are we leaving again? Did you have a fight with the prince? But you two were so nice just now."
A series of questions were thrown out, making Liu Zaixi upset. "Okay, stop calling me Princess and continue to call me Miss. As for that bastard, don't mention him. Let's go back to the hotel."
"By the way, where's Xiaobai?"
"Looking for me." As soon as the words fell, Liu Mubai walked over from the door.
"Pack up your things and let's go back to the store."
Liu Mubai was stunned, then asked the same question as Xiao Zhu: "You two had a fight."
"Don't mention him!"
Liu Mubai stopped talking. He didn't know if the gloating in his heart was correct.
The three of them left the palace so quickly. Among them, they met Han Yi, who was given a cold shoulder by Liu Zaixi. They had no choice but to go to Qiu Wuji to report. The palace's housekeeper tried to stop Liu Zaixi, but was knocked unconscious by Liu Mubai.
Xiao Zhu swallowed his saliva. It seemed that the quarrel was not ordinary. It would be better not to try to persuade them, as it would easily hurt innocent people.
Han Yi was very anxious, so anxious that he didn't care about etiquette and pushed the door open directly. Seeing Qiu Wuji still sitting calmly at the table drinking tea, his voice unconsciously raised a few decibels.
"Your Majesty, the princess has left with her maid!"
"Um."
It seems that he is really angry.
Han Yi was confused. Could it be that the prince was tired of it and wanted to change his target?
Little did he know that although Qiu Wuji appeared to be as steady as an old dog, he was actually at his wit's end. If he had known earlier, he would have tried to control himself, but deep feelings were hard to control. It was also the first time that Qiu Wuji liked someone, and he did it unconsciously. If he had known earlier that someone like Liu Zaixi should have taken it step by step, Qiu Wuji did not regret it much, but just longed for more sweetness.
Once people taste the forbidden fruit, they become more greedy.
"What about the Emperor?"
Qiu Wuji was inexplicably confident: "My princess was just angry, she didn't say she didn't want me."
Hanyi's expression was complicated. The prince must have lost his mind. Why was he acting so weird?
The happiest person in this incident is Liu Mubai.
He had wanted to leave the palace a long time ago, but because Liu Zai Xi was there, he had to compromise.
Although I don’t know what Qiu Wuji did to Liu Zaixi, there will be plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson in the future.
Liu Zai Xi was busy taking care of Qiu Wu Ji today and didn't take care of the store's affairs, but he gave a purchase list to Pan Ji and others and asked them to go and buy it, which is now being sorted.
Seeing Liu Zai Xi coming back with a lot of bags, although I was confused, I was still very happy.
Especially Xiaojia and Xiaoyi, they are just children after all. They couldn't hide their longing for Liu Zaixi after not seeing them for a few days. When Liu Zaixi saw them, he immediately came up to them to ask about their well-being, and his anger temporarily subsided. As expected, a woman can only prosper if she pursues a career, and forget about feelings.
When they learned that Liu Zai Xi was coming back to live, although they were puzzled, they also knew that it must be because of a quarrel, so they did not ask too many questions. Everyone was very considerate and no one mentioned Qiu Wu Ji. They just started asking Liu Zai Xi about the ingredients.
Liu Zaixi devoted himself to his career and soon forgot the unhappiness.
What Qiu Wuji said was not wrong. There really were spies in the palace.
Soon, the news of their disagreement reached Jiang Zhiyi's ears.
Jiang Zhiyi sneered: "Oh, I thought I could hold on a little longer, but that's all."
Although Jin Manyue left the palace, it did not mean that she gave up. If Jiang Zhiyi could replace Qiu Wuji's mother and become Qiu Sheng's most favored concubine, then she could do it too. It just required a little strategy.
Jin Manyue couldn't wait any longer, "My Queen, can I take advantage of the opportunity now?"
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head: "No, he is a married man after all. If you approach him rashly, it will only ruin your reputation. It is better to spread the news first and see what the emperor thinks."
Even though Jin Manyue was anxious, she did not have as much experience as Jiang Zhiyi, so she could only wait for the opportunity.
Jiang Zhiyi’s years as Concubine Hui were not in vain. The news soon spread and Qiu Sheng naturally knew about it.
The next day, the capital was full of news about the discord between Prince Heng and the Princess, and it was said that they were only together for a play.
The love between the couple that Qiu Wuji had created for each other collapsed in an instant. The people soon became dissatisfied with this marriage, thinking that it was a deception of the common people's feelings and that they were being made fun of.
Jin Manyue took the opportunity to send people to spread negative news about Liu Zaixi, directing the whole incident at Liu Zaixi. Rumors spread about how bad Liu Zaixi was, how arrogant and domineering he was, and how he exploited the palace. Especially the young ladies from aristocratic families who originally liked Qiu Wuji, they all followed suit to spread the news. The matter became more and more serious, and some people have begun to form their own organizations to support Qiu Wuji in divorcing Liu Zaixi.
As soon as Liu Zai Xi woke up the next day, he was completely awakened by the news that Xiao Zhu was in trouble.
"Miss, this is bad. Everyone out there is asking the prince to divorce you."
Liu Zaixi was angry, "What?"
"How is that possible? If anyone wants to divorce, I'll be the one to do it."
Why?
That's not the point.
Xiaozhu was in a panic. Liu Zaixi pulled Xiaozhu to sit down and handed him a glass of water.
"Okay, don't be impatient, take your time."
"People outside are saying that you are arrogant and domineering, young lady, and that you got something on the prince to force him to marry you. There are so many people protesting now."
Liu Zaixi clapped his hands and said, "Oh."
"Miss! Don't be so calm."
Liu Zaixi didn't care: "Don't worry, that idiot will take care of it. At worst, I can just stay at home for a few days."
