The system quickly broadcast the good news: [Host, just as you resigned from your position as Zhong Changyao's Imperial Master, your malicious value has dropped again!]
Xie Shizhu retracted his gaze and asked, "How much is it?"
The system said: [70! Congratulations!]
Xie Shizhu nodded and stopped communicating with the system.
Because I'm busy tomorrow.
Soon, Xie Shizhu returned to his own palace to bathe and change clothes.
The person serving her is Ming Ruzhen.
Ming Ruzhen was massaging her while seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.
Xie Shizhu looked up at her and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Ming Ruzhen slumped to his knees and confessed everything, "Your Highness, I am guilty."
Xie Shizhu swished the water from the hot spring with his fingertips and asked, "What crime?"
Ming Ruzhen bit her lip and told him everything about how Zhong Changyao had trained her to be by Xie Shizhu's side.
After listening to it, Xie Shizhu did not question her, nor did he convict her.
Instead, he lazily said, "If you want me to forgive you, massage my shoulders properly."
Ming Ruzhen's eyes lit up, she was overjoyed, her heart was pounding, and she quickly stood up.
The movements of his hands were extremely gentle: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xie Shizhu slowly closed his eyelids and enjoyed Ming Ruzhen's massage.
*
After taking a bath, Xie Shizhu was still too worried about Xie Ji.
I don’t know whether her younger brother is obedient.
Xie Shizhu frowned, and when he thought of the wound on Xie Ji's cheek, his heart inexplicably tightened.
This emotion is very abrupt.
Xie Shizhu thought it was just a concern between family members and didn't pay much attention to it.
Then she sent Ming Ruzhen away and put on her clothes.
She didn't bother to dress up, with her plain little face and disheveled hair, and went straight to Xie Ji's palace.
Xie Ji has always been a solitary person. There are not many servants in the palace, only two guards squatting at the door.
The guard saluted quickly upon seeing her, then raised his voice deliberately to report to Xie Ji in the hall: "Prince Yi, His Majesty requests an audience."
At this moment, the man who was about to go to bed suddenly sat up.
He stood up again and checked in front of the bronze mirror.
Then, a woman slowly came in from outside with a bottle of medicine in her hand.
Xie Ji stood up to greet him, and was slightly startled when he saw Xie Shizhu's outfit.
The woman did not look like the one he usually saw. Her clean face, without any rouge or powder, made her look a little childish.
Her facial features are delicate and her eyes are particularly bright and lively.
Just like they were kids.
There was no Zhong Changyao around.
Since the two of them were studying in the upper study, the teacher Zhong Changyao came between them.
From then on, everything changed.
The imperial sister was like a madman, following Zhong Changyao all the time.
Xie Ji murmured: "Imperial sister..."
Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and smiled, gently took his wrist, pulled him to sit down, and looked at the wound on the side of his face.
The man had fair skin and sharp facial features, and he had long lost his youthful aura.
A wound is like a flaw, making this perfect face look even more morbid.
Xie Shizhu likes beautiful things. She raised her hand with regret, and her fingertips couldn't help but touch the wound.
The woman's warm body temperature was transmitted to his skin, making Xie Ji tense up.
There was a hint of astonishment in his eyes as he stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
Xie Shizhu suddenly realized what he was doing.
Damn, I suddenly couldn’t help it.
She quickly put her hand down and said calmly, "How did you get the scar on your face?"
Xie Ji felt that his cheeks still seemed to retain the warmth of a woman.
He suppressed his inner restlessness and said softly, "I was trying to help my sister find the bandit, and when I tried to catch him, I got scratched on the face by a sword."
After saying this, Xie Shizhu felt guilty.
At that time, she didn't see Xie Ji in the palace, and she was still blaming him for being ignorant and always missing.
It turned out that Xie Ji was looking for the bandits alone for his own sake.
Xie Ji stared at the woman's expression with burning eyes.
In fact, he had been hungry for several days and had no money, so he climbed a tree to pick wild fruits. The wound on his face was accidentally scratched by a branch.
Xie Shizhu quickly placed the bottle on the table, dipped some medicine on his fingertips, and for the first time treated the demon in front of him gently.
Help him apply the medicine carefully.
Xie Ji's breathing gradually became disordered.
Xie Shizhu felt the hot breath spraying on her palm and was stunned.
Suddenly he realized that this boy had ulterior motives towards him.
Forget it, considering that he worked so hard for her, she still helped Xie Ji apply the medicine.
Just consider it as a benefit for this kid.
The system was speechless: [……] So casual.
After applying the medicine, Xie Shizhu left the bottle to Xie Ji and told him to apply it twice a day to avoid scars.
Xie Ji nodded obediently.
When Xie Shizhu stood up and prepared to leave, a slender arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and his body pressed against her back.
She froze in place, and just as she was about to scold him, she heard Xie Ji's trembling voice, "Royal sister, I know you've sacrificed your innocence to save me. I'm not worthy of you doing this."
Xie Shizhu's mood suddenly changed. He reached out and gently patted the back of the man's hand. "Your life is more important than my sister's innocence."
After he finished speaking, Xie Ji's dark pupils were filled with many emotions.
Xie Shizhu smiled lightly: "Rest early and don't miss the banquet tomorrow."
"Okay." Xie Ji was reluctant to let go of his hand and watched Xie Shizhu's back disappear from his sight.
