Song Ke was stunned for a long time before he realized that she had rejected him.
I didn't know whether to give or take the hibiscus hairpin in my hand. It just looked particularly annoying when it was lying there.
He looked down at Ji Fu, who was now not as tall as him, and felt mixed emotions: "Is it because of Jia Shian?"
Because she was afraid of being seen, she chose to deny herself.
Ji Fu shook her head. "It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just that I shouldn't accept anything from anyone privately. If I accept your gift today, someone else will try to get close to me in the future. This is absolutely forbidden in the military."
She paused, then deliberately stated, "Even if you were my brother, whom I rescued with my own hands, it would still be the same."
Jia Shian was certainly a reason, but it was precisely the appearance of this person that made her realize that she should restrain her words and actions.
Song Ke gritted his teeth and said, "I have grown up a long time ago. I have been through life and death with you so many times. Don't you understand?"
She said so much and even mentioned her brother's identity, just to distance herself from him.
But how could their relationship be easily severed by just these two words?
Song Ke said stubbornly, "I know you're feeling uneasy right now. You're worried that Xu Ning and the others will harm innocent people. You're afraid of putting me in danger. But my feelings have long made it clear to me that I'm definitely not innocent in this matter. I just like you."
"shut up!"
Ji Fu panicked instantly. She interrupted Song Ke and scolded him, "In these troubled times, how can we indulge in romantic feelings?"
Song Ke: "If this weren't a time of trouble, could we hold hands and stay together?"
Ji Fu choked. She didn't know.
Song Ke smiled.
She also knows that it is impossible.
Having lost both his parents at a young age, he understood best that the future is uncertain. If you don't seize the people and things you have now, you may never see them again.
He didn't want to let go of Ji Fu.
"If you... if you really care about the people of Daye, I can wait with you for world peace. I will quell the war that you want to quell. If I do that, will one day you be able to stay with me with peace of mind?" Song Ke asked.
Ji Fu's throat rolled.
She doesn't know.
She couldn't give an answer to anything Song Ke said.
And just when she was stunned, Song Ke had already put the hairpin on her head.
Ji Fu frowned suddenly and subconsciously wanted to pull it out, but Song Ke immediately grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"I'll give it to you this time, will you keep it? I will do everything I told you one day." Whether it means peace in the world or the end of war, he will do it for Ji Fu. Wouldn't this make her heart feel more at ease?
Ji Fu was stunned, and at this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted up.
Jia Shian suddenly appeared in front of them. He looked at the golden hairpin on Ji Fu's head, his expression darkened, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
Ji Fu was startled and turned around abruptly, saying, "Eunuch, we are not..."
But now she is in such a difficult situation, what's the point of her explaining?
Jia Shian snorted coldly, narrowing his eyes with a sinister look as he said, "I've long suspected that you two were intimate, but I never thought you'd have the guts to do this right under my nose. You're a general guarding a region, yet you're secretly having an affair with your deputy. Do you acknowledge your guilt?"
Ji Fu said anxiously: "We don't have it!"
Jia Shian: "No? You've already put the gold hairpin in your hair, what else do you have to explain? Do you really think I'm blind? You dare to do this while I'm still here. If I'm not here, I don't know what kind of filthy things you would do!"
Song Ke frowned and glanced at him: "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of obscene things? What a eunuch! You've been castrated, and you don't even know how to keep your mouth clean!"
Song Ke was young and hot-tempered at the time. He could allow others to slander him, but he would not tolerate anyone criticizing Ji Fu.
Hearing Jia Shian making random guesses and slandering Ji Fu based on what he saw, Song Ke's temper immediately flared up. He didn't care whether Jia Shian was a favorite of the king or not, and he wanted to tear him in half!
Ji Fu frowned, pulled Song Ke over and scolded him, "Song Ke! Where are your rules?"
Jia Shian is the king's constant companion, so not to mention her, even Xu Ning has to give him some face.
Will Song Ke have a good ending if he provokes him?
Song Ke was furious. He just couldn't stand other people speaking ill of Ji Fu.
But when he saw Ji Fu's angry face, he still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
But the loss of one's lifeblood was a lifelong pain for eunuchs, and Song Ke's words had truly pierced Jia Shi'an's heart. Even if Song Ke stopped talking now, Jia Shi'an might not let him go.
He looked at Song Ke, his eyes filled with the exasperation of someone poking a sore spot, "You little brat, how arrogant!"
Ji Fu hurriedly said, "Father, please don't be angry. Song Ke didn't know the rules and offended you. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. I apologize to you here."
She clasped her fists and bowed to Jia Shian seriously.
Song Ke saw it all and felt as if he was being pricked by needles.
Ji Fu has gone through life and death for many years and saved countless people in Daye. She should have been the most respected person in Daye.
But now she bowed and apologized to a eunuch, just because Jia Shian was the king's favorite.
Is Jia Shian worthy?
Song Ke tried to pull her up, but Ji Fu pushed him away. "Get out!" she shouted, frowning.
Song Ke was stunned.
Ji Fu did all this for him.
Song Ke was still young and didn't understand the horror of power.
It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. If Jia Shian really holds a grudge against what happened today, Song Ke will definitely not have a good ending.
Ji Fu maintained a bowing posture and said, "Eunuch, what happened today is really a misunderstanding. Song Ke and I have never had an affair. Please understand and don't misunderstand me."
Jia Shian sneered, "General Ji is such a great man. How can a eunuch like me deserve such a great gift from you? You don't have to explain to me what happened with Song Ke. I will report everything today to the king. If you have anything to say, you can explain it to the king. Whether you believe it or not is your business! I will return to Xianyang tomorrow. General Ji, will you come with me?"
Jia Shian almost gritted his teeth when he said the four words "General Ji".
Ji Fu pursed her red lips, finally closed her eyes and said, "Yes."
Jia Shian: "And you, the deputy general, can't leave either. I'm afraid he will have to go to Xianyang as well. The emperor will decide whether you are innocent or not."
Ji Fu was stunned: "Yes..."
Jia Shi'an glanced at Song Ke, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the tent.
After he left, Ji Fu turned to look at Song Ke and said depressedly, "You've made things so big!"
Song Ke lowered his head and said stubbornly, "My King Daye is wise. Even if we go to Xianyang, the King will not be deceived by a few words of a eunuch."
