Chapter 99 How Thick-skinned Is He
"I was just anxious! When I'm in a hurry, I don't care about the rules. You think he actually asked how good our relationship is? Hahaha, he didn't guess it, did he?" Qing Yi laughed. He didn't want to hide the relationship between him and Xiao Ye at all, but Xiao Ye didn't let him say it. What could he do?
"Qing Yi, didn't I tell you? It's not the time to confess to the emperor yet. Wait until the right opportunity comes." Ye Qingyu patted Qing Yi's shoulder and comforted him.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. If you don't let me tell you, I definitely won't tell you. But if he can guess it, that's his business. It has nothing to do with me." Qing Yi looked obedient.
"Well, he is quite teachable." Ye Qingyu raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
"You should get some sleep quickly. You didn't get enough rest last night." Qing Yi said. He learned from Qingqing that Xiao Ye had been busy all night, breaking into the government office in the capital and the Dali Temple just to find him. He had a very tiring night.
"Yeah. You should get some sleep too." Ye Qingyu knew that Qing Yi had lost a lot of blood while detoxifying him.
"Hehe, Xiaoye, are you inviting me? Don't worry, there's plenty of time once you've fully recovered." Qingyi winked and grinned.
Ye Qingyu was originally distressed about Qingyi's blood loss, but she didn't expect to be provoked by this boy's words. She was suddenly angry and amused, and couldn't help but glare at Qingyi.
"Hey, why are you glaring at me? Xiaoye, I'm not bragging. If we weren't so close and had no physical contact, you would have been influenced by me and produced some antibodies in your body. The poison today might have quickly invaded your heart!" Qing Yi said it very ambiguously, but it was the truth.
"..." Ye Qingyu was speechless. In order to be able to resist poisons in the future, did she have to have intimate actions with him often?
"Haha, look at how lucky you are. You don't have to practice the Hundred Poisons Art as hard as I do, and you can still resist poison. We need to practice dual cultivation more in the future!" Qing Yi suggested shamelessly.
"Alright, alright, stop taking credit here. Do you think I'm with you just because I want your immunity to all poisons?" Ye Qingyu looked at Qing Yi's smug look and thought to himself, this is the person he loves!
"Of course not, you must be fascinated by my handsome and suave appearance!" Qing Yi said narcissistically.
"Qingyi, have you seen the bricks on the walls of the imperial palace?" Ye Qingyu suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"Ah, I've seen him before, what's the matter?" Qing Yi looked confused, not knowing why Xiao Ye suddenly brought up this.
"Do you think the brick is thick?" Ye Qingyu continued to ask, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"It looks quite solid. I have to admit that the construction of the Great Chu Palace is really magnificent. Everything is magnificent." Qing Yi looked up at the palace and couldn't help but sigh.
"I think this wall is not thick enough. Compared with your face, it is far inferior." Ye Qingyu raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of smiles, and deliberately teased Qing Yi.
"Okay, Xiaoye, you are scolding me in a roundabout way!" Qingyi finally reacted and yelled pretending to be aggrieved, but with a bright smile on his face.
"No way, I was obviously praising you, Hero Qingyi, for being thick-skinned and able to protect me from the wind and rain. This is a rare skill." Ye Qingyu teased in a serious tone, making Qingyi laugh.
"Xiao Ye, how do you think the Emperor of Chu will deal with his favorite concubine?" Qing Yi asked. He didn't know that Ye Qingyu had pleaded for Concubine Mei.
"For now, she will be confined to Ningxiang Palace, and we will make a decision after the child is born." Ye Qingyu looked calm as he slowly told Qingyi about Emperor Chu's decision.
"I thought he would kill her. How could he tolerate the fact that the Emperor of Chu's favorite concubine had an affair with someone? This is really unusual!" Qing Yi sighed.
"Every emperor is suspicious. After Mei Fei gives birth to a child, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to keep her." Ye Qingyu sighed softly, his tone full of emotion, "Even the most favored person can't withstand the barriers of suspicion. What's more, the emperor has no shortage of beauties around him. If he loses this, there are others waiting."
"That's true. The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and the thing he has no shortage of is beautiful women!" Qing Yi also echoed.
"Okay, stop talking about people behind their backs." Ye Qingyu chatted with Qing Yi for a long time. As he felt sleepy, his voice gradually became lower until he fell into a deep sleep without making any sound.
Seeing Ye Qingyu sound asleep, Qingyi quietly got up and walked out. The maids and eunuchs of Luohua Palace were busy cleaning the courtyard. When they saw Qingyi coming out, they stopped what they were doing and hurriedly saluted.
"You guys go about your business, I'm fine." Qing Yi waved his hand, signaling them not to be so formal. He then had a young eunuch bring a chair under the eaves, where he sat down leisurely, watching the maids sweep the yard and the eunuchs trim the flowers and trees.
Qing Yi pulled out a small box from his bosom and gently opened it. Inside lay a dead little scorpion. This little scorpion was one of his most beloved treasures, and he always carried it with him.
Qing Yi felt sad that he had lost his life in order to detoxify Xiao Ye, but then he thought that if he hadn't brought it with him, Xiao Ye's poison would not have been detoxified so smoothly, and he felt lucky.
This little scorpion was extremely poisonous. Without it, the detoxification process would have been much more complicated. Thinking of this, Qing Yi summoned the eunuch and asked him to find a small shovel. He dug a small hole under a flower and buried the box containing the scorpion. Without the box, the soil would be eroded by the poison, and the flowers above would also be affected.
After the burial, Qing Yi patted the dirt on his hands and muttered, "Little guy, just rest here. This is a good home." After that, he sat back in the chair and continued to watch the palace maids and eunuchs busying around, as if nothing had happened just now.
Qingyi was bored and drinking agarwood alone, waiting for Xiaoye to wake up.
