Chapter 22 When the Servant Calls
Xie Anci only remembered that Pei Xuan's face flashed before he fainted, and he thought it was a dream.
Xie Anci stood up, and his body was still a little weak. He almost fell to the ground.
A burst of cold fragrance came to his nose, and then he bumped into a strong embrace.
"You are still very weak, rest for a while." Pei Xuan looked at Xie Anci's fluffy head and had the urge to rub it.
"No need, sorry to bother you." Xie Anci quickly got up from Pei Xuan's arms.
He knew that Pei Xuan did not belong to any faction, and it would be bad if he had anything to do with him.
Pei Xuan felt a little empty when his arms were empty.
"It's already twilight hour, why don't you have dinner before leaving?" Pei Xuan didn't know why, but he felt a little reluctant.
"No need, thank you for your kindness, Master." Xie Anci still refused.
Pei Xuan didn't seem as cold-hearted as the legend said.
Xie Anci chuckled, the rumors were indeed not credible.
"Humph! You really don't know what's good for you, my master has been guarding you for almost a whole day, and you still don't need to do this or that."
"I don't even welcome you to stay." Pei Lin couldn't help but said as he came in with tea.
"Lin'er, don't be rude!" Pei Xuan's face turned ashen, why was Pei Lin so unreasonable when he met Xie Anci.
"It doesn't matter, thank you for your kindness, Master, I will definitely come to thank you one day." Xie Anci didn't care much about Pei Lin's sarcasm.
Pei Xuan helped him after all. If it weren't for Pei Xuan, he might still be lying on the cold ground.
"Okay." Pei Xuan didn't try to persuade him to stay and handed the prescription to Xie Anci.
Xie Anci thanked him and left Xingyan Palace.
Pei Xuan turned his head and looked at Pei Lin unhappily, "Who taught you to be so rude in front of guests?"
"Master, I..." Pei Lin saw Pei Xuan so angry for the first time, and tears of grievance were about to come out.
"I just don't want Master to be deceived by the Regent King. You know what kind of person the Regent King is." Pei Lin wiped his tears. He was also doing it for the good of Master.
"I am not ignorant of the world, and I really don't know what kind of person the Regent King is. I only know that if he is really like the rumors say, you may not be able to stop thinking."
Pei Xuan said a lot in one breath. Pei Lin was so scared that his face turned pale after he figured it out.
Yes, because the master is the national teacher, the emperor has to give him some face.
But who is the Regent King?
The Regent King can even control the emperor, let alone him, a national teacher
's apprentice. The Regent King didn't cause trouble to him because of his master.
"Master, I know I was wrong." Pei Lin lowered his head and dared not say anything.
Pei Xuan sighed: "Forget it, it's good that you know."
Pei Xuan saw that Pei Lin had figured it out, so he stopped talking.
On the other side, Gu Lingyu had returned to the general's mansion.
Li Jinchen saw that it was getting dark and Zhou Yunqing's mood had calmed down.
"Do you want to have dinner?" Li Jinchen raised his head from the memorial and asked.
"Yeah, I'm a little hungry." Zhou Yunqing nodded obediently.
He touched his stomach. He had hardly had a full meal in these years. Fortunately, fortunately he was back now.
"Someone! Serve the food." Li Jinchen got up, came to the bed and helped Zhou Yunqing out of bed.
"How do you feel? How is your health?"
"Much better, thanks to Brother Jinchen." Zhou Yunqing's face flushed.
Li Jinchen's body froze when he heard his name. He hadn't heard this name for many years.
In the past, Zhou Yunqing liked to surround him and call him, Brother Jinchen.
"Yeah." Li Jinchen responded in a muffled voice.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Xie Anci walked in
with a grand stride. "Why didn't you call me for dinner?" Xie Anci sat down between the two of them without any hesitation.
Li Jinchen frowned, "Didn't you go back home?" Xie
Anci: "Why do you care about me?"
Li Jinchen: "..."
He couldn't care at all.
Zhou Yunqing was so scared when he saw Xie Anci, and looked at Li Jinchen pitifully.
Li Jinchen didn't notice Zhou Yunqing's eyes asking for help.
After the food was served, Li Jinchen started to eat.
Xie Anci chuckled. What if Zhou Yunqing pretended to be pitiful? It was
useless if no one was watching.
Xie Anci was about to pick up the chopsticks to eat, but he remembered that his right hand was wrapped.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Li Jinchen saw that Xie Anci's right hand was wrapped in gauze, and couldn't help asking.
"As you can see, it's injured."
Xie Anci picked up the chopsticks with his left hand and tremblingly picked up a bite of vegetables for himself.
Li Jinchen saw that he was having a hard time eating and was about to call for help, but he saw Zhou Yunqing, with a frightened but flattering look on his face, picked up a piece of braised pork and passed it to Xie Anci's mouth.
"Prince Regent, your hand is injured, let me feed you." Zhou Yunqing said with a flattering smile.
Li Jinchen was a little surprised to see this. Wasn't Zhou Yunqing afraid of Xie Anci?
Why did he come close to him?
Xie Anci frowned unhappily at the red-roasted pork in his mouth, "I don't like fat."
Zhou Yunqing looked innocent, ate the fat on the red-roasted pork in one bite, and the remaining lean meat was placed on Xie Anci's mouth.
Xie Anci's mouth twitched slightly, "You are deliberately disliking me, right?"
It was all stained with Zhou Yunqing's saliva, how could he eat it?
"No, I'm just the son of a guilty minister, I want to serve the Regent." Zhou Yunqing blinked and looked at Xie Anci sincerely.
Xie Anci sneered, "In that case, shouldn't you, the son of a guilty minister, come to the table to eat?" Zhou
Yunqing immediately stood behind Xie Anci after hearing this.
Li Jinchen looked puzzled, "Yunqing, you don't have to do this, you are not the son of a criminal."
Zhou Yunqing shook his head, "It's okay, Brother Jinchen, I volunteered."
Brother Jinchen?
Xie Anci had an expression as if he had eaten a fly.
Damn Brother Jinchen, don't you want to serve him?
Then he would not be polite.
"Then pour me a bowl of soup." Xie Anci ordered rudely.
Zhou Yunqing obediently filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Xie Anci.
Xie Anci took a sip and threw down the spoon, "It's too hot, are you going to burn me to death?"
Zhou Yunqing hurriedly blew it on the side.
"Are you mean? There's your saliva in it, pour another bowl." Xie Anci said unhappily.
Zhou Yunqing filled another bowl and placed it in front of Xie Anci.
"Give me some greens, shredded pork with green peppers, steamed eggs..." Xie Anci listed a series of dishes.
The table where they ate was very large, and Zhou Yunqing ran back and forth many times from left to right, from front to back.
His originally weak body was sweating.
Xie Anci looked at the mountain of dishes in front of him and suddenly lost his appetite. "There are too many. They are all put together. The taste is mixed. I don't like it." Seeing this,
Zhou Yunqing was about to pick up the small bowl and pick up the dishes for him one by one.
Bang!
Li Jinchen slapped the table unhappily, "Whether you like it or not, Yunqing, sit down and eat!"
Did Xie Anci really treat Zhou Yunqing as a servant?
