Jiang Jiang knew that this was just a subconscious question he asked out of extreme confusion.
Because he knew from his own experience that such a thing would never happen, so she simply ignored his question.
His hands were a little sore after all. Jiang Jiang rubbed his wrists and hesitated for a moment whether to go out for a walk, but when he saw the sun outside the window, he still felt bored.
She had no interest in being exposed to the sun. She hated the sticky feeling after sweating. It was too troublesome to go out for a walk and then have to take a shower.
However, an uninvited guest appeared in front of her a few days later.
“Knock, knock.”
It was the sound of knocking on the window frame.
It was a little light, but Jiang Jiang had been infected with Fu Yao's sensitivity to sound during these days of getting along with him.
So she quickly located the source of the sound.
10086: [It is the original woman. ]
What is she doing here?
10086 confidently said: [You ask me, who should I ask? ]
Jiang Jiang knew that there were always guards taking turns guarding the side hall, to protect her safety and to reassure Fu Yao.
I don’t know how Yu Zhiqing knew about the free time between their shifts and came to find her during this period.
But it was still too advanced to ask a non-human life form to explain human motivations, and Jiang Jiang didn't expect to draw any conclusions from it.
Using the excuse of wanting to look at the scenery from the window, Jiang Jiang opened the window where Yu Zhiqing was, and happened to see her squatting right below and winking at her.
Jiang Jiang: “…”
Afraid of being discovered by Fu Yao and causing unnecessary trouble for him, Jiang Jiang also imitated her and made faces, trying to convey her confusion with her expression: Why are you here?
Yu Zhiqing probably realized that the two of them were acting in a way that was inappropriate for their status, so she tiptoed closer to her and whispered, "I was worried something might have happened to you. Are you okay?"
Jiang Jiang caught a glimpse of the ribbon of her dress that had been torn by a branch, and was naturally moved. "Oh, well, didn't I ask the palace maid to come and tell you she was safe? Didn't you see her?"
"Ah... So it was you who sent them." Yu Zhiqing had of course seen them, but she thought they were sent by Fu Yao to conceal their presence. "But it's been a long time since I last saw you. I heard from the palace servants that you were in the imperial presence, and I was always worried about you. I thought I had to see you no matter what, just to feel at ease."
"How did he treat you?"
"Your Majesty has a good temper and is easygoing and tolerant towards others. He is naturally very kind to me."
Yu Zhiqing: “......?” Is this kid crazy?
She looked at her as if she were some special species.
From Yu Zhiqing's perspective, she could see the relaxed look on Jiang Jiang's face. Apart from some broken skin at the corner of his lips, which might have been caused by a bump, he looked radiant.
It looks like... it's really good?
Yu Zhiqing felt like she was struck by lightning and was speechless for a long time.
Jiang Jiang smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Sister Yu, I feel very comfortable here. To be frank, it's more comfortable than when I was in the mansion or in Chuxiu Palace. I'm fine. You should go earlier too. It will be dark later and the palace roads will be difficult to walk on."
Yu Zhiqing naturally knew this, and she was more worried about being caught by Fu Yao than the fact that it was getting dark.
Although most emperors' ascension to the throne was accompanied by bloodshed and casualties, as Yu Zhiqing was the "favored concubine" in the previous life, many palace people who had witnessed the bloody massacre came to surrender to her or to expose Fu Yao's "true face".
So she finally knew the inside story.
She still couldn't forget one of the eunuchs' words to her, his legs trembling, "That wasn't about eliminating dissidents at all! He was totally enjoying the killing! He was a complete madman!"
The old eunuch's wrinkled face was distorted and his voice was very low.
But such a low voice could still make Yu Zhiqing feel the other person's fear deep in his bones.
And the next day, the eunuch disappeared.
Yu Zhiqing shuddered, pulling herself out of her memories. She clutched the window frame, her nails practically digging into the wood. "Jiang Jiang, listen to me..."
Suddenly, the sound of orderly footsteps came from a distance.
Yu Zhiqing's face suddenly changed. It was time for the guards to change shifts!
Jiang Jiang also noticed it and quickly said, "Hurry up and leave. I'll help you hold them back. Don't worry about Sister Yu. Believe me, if he treats me badly, I will find a way to get away."
Yu Zhiqing gave her one last deep look, then turned and left.
