Seeing Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan, the young man immediately stood up and knelt on the ground to pay his respects to Xiao Moyan: "I, Liu Dechong, pay my respects to His Majesty."
Xiao Moyan nodded slightly and said nothing.
The young man stood up and looked at Ji Xingzhi who was standing next to Xiao Moyan. He was slightly stunned and nodded slightly to Ji Xingzhi as a greeting.
Ji Xingzhi also nodded and returned the greeting. Although Liu Dechong had an ordinary appearance, he was a man of integrity. If he had not brought the seriously injured Su Ju to the Regent's Palace, Ji Xingzhi would not have been rescued by Xiao Moyan.
Ji Xingzhi was grateful, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Liu Dechong.
Liu Dechong frowned in confusion. He was only responsible for bringing the injured girl to the Regent's Palace. He watched the girl take out a jade seal and hand it to a steward of the palace. Then not long after, the prince came out. The girl only said the three words "Qiong Xiang Lou" to the prince and fainted. Then he and the girl were arranged to live in the palace. He has been guarding the girl until now.
Therefore, he really didn't understand why this young man wanted to thank him.
Ji Xingzhi saw Liu Dechong's confusion, but didn't say anything. Instead, she turned and walked towards the bed.
"Su Ju." Ji Xingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to tidy up Su Ju's messy hair.
Su Ju has been awake all the time. No one knows what has supported her. She is a weak woman, but she has endured the pain of having the arrow pulled out and has remained awake until now.
Looking at Ji Xingzhi, Su Ju smiled palely: "Sir... you're okay... I'm so glad."
Ji Xingzhi smiled back and said, "Thank you, Suju."
This is the first time I have thanked someone so sincerely.
Su Ju stretched out her hand weakly, as if she wanted to hold something. Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi hurriedly reached out and held Su Ju's slender hand.
"I really want to see you wearing a silk dress... with your hair tied up in a bun... You must be very beautiful..." There seemed to be a ball of light in Su Ju's eyes, a dazzling light that made Ji Xingzhi's eyes sore.
Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and said softly, "I'll wear it for you to see. When your injury is healed, I will take you and Manager Ai away to see Fanfan."
Su Ju smiled weakly, the light in her eyes gradually dimming. She said: "It seems...it's too late."
"Suju, hold on, Fanfan is still waiting for you to come back." Ji Xingzhi tightened his grip on Suju's hand, his voice trembling slightly.
Su Ju shook her head slightly, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, "Master... Su Ju can't bear to leave... can't bear to leave you... can't bear to leave Fan Fan... can't bear to leave Manager Ai... can't bear to leave Anxiang Tower... I really can't bear to leave..."
Ji Xingzhi felt a pang of pain in her heart and a choking sob in her throat. A tear fell from her tearful eyes and landed on Su Ju's delicate hands. Thousands of words merged into one sentence: "I'm sorry..."
Su Ju's emotions suddenly became excited. She slowly tightened her grip on Ji Xingzhi's hand. Her red eyes looked straight at Ji Xingzhi, regarding Ji Xingzhi as her only hope. "Sir, don't feel sorry... Su Ju volunteered... Su Ju has no other requests... She only hopes that you can treat Fanfan well..."
Fanfan is Suju's only hope in life. Now that she is dying, the person she can't let go of the most is her only relative, Sufan.
Ji Xingzhi held Suju's hand tightly and promised solemnly: "I promise you."
Hearing this, Suju smiled. It was a complicated smile, with reluctance, pain, sadness, but more of it was relief.
"Thank you." These were her last words in this world.
