"Does the Imperial Advisor care about Xie Yin?"
Xi Xingxue was slightly taken aback.
This problem...
Could it be that the protagonist wants to find out if Xie Yin is innocent, both physically and mentally?
Xi Xingxue immediately replied, "Of course I like him, otherwise why would I go to such lengths to get him from His Majesty?"
A faint, almost imperceptible cracking sound rang out.
A crack appeared in the chopsticks in Qi Jinzhao's palm.
Xi Xingxue glanced at him, but didn't realize anything, and continued speaking her unfinished words, "But Xie Yin is a very stubborn kid, and I still haven't gotten him."
After speaking, Xi Xingxue observed Qi Jinzhao's expression.
Qi Jinzhao: "Oh? Is that so?"
Xi Xingxue breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing that she and Xie Yin hadn't done anything yet, Qi Jinzhao's tone seemed a little better.
Xi Xingxue pressed on: "Your Highness, why don't we be frank with each other? Xie Yin seems to prefer you. If you give me a hundred beauties, I'll give Xie Yin to you in return, how about it?"
"A hundred beauties?" Qi Jinzhao asked.
Xi Xingxue thought this was a bit difficult: "Fifty is fine, but I have to keep Xie Yin a little longer."
Only after Xie Yin has gathered evidence of his crimes as the Grand Preceptor can he be placed by Qi Jinchao's side.
'Snap!' Both chopsticks broke together.
Qi Jinzhao's voice was chilling: "You want fifty beauties, and you want to keep him around for a while longer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two broken chopsticks slipped from his palm and fell onto the table with a thud.
"Huh?" Xi Xingxue was somewhat incredulous. "Are these chopsticks really that bad quality?"
"Hehe." Qi Jinzhao laughed without understanding why.
Xi Xingxue felt a chill on her neck.
Why is Qi Jinzhao angry? Does he feel that he has insulted Xie Yin?
"If Your Highness is unwilling, then so be it."
Xi Xingxue wanted to run away.
This Qi Jinzhao is acting really strangely today.
Qi Jinzhao added, "We'll discuss this matter later."
As he spoke, Qi Jinzhao picked up the wine pot on the table and poured him some wine.
Xi Xingxue stared at the liquid slowly falling into the cup, strongly suspecting that poison had been added to it.
As Qi Jinzhao poured him wine, he casually asked, "Does the Imperial Advisor really like beautiful women?"
"I like it," Xi Xingxue readily admitted.
Anyway, the period of restriction on his public image has already passed.
However, they shouldn't be completely different, otherwise it would be too strange.
Upon hearing this, Qi Jinzhao seemed lost in thought, his knuckles turning slightly white as he gripped the wine pot, momentarily forgetting to drink.
It wasn't until Xi Xingxue reminded him, "Hey, okay, okay, it's full."
Qi Jinzhao then put down his wine cup.
Xi Xingxue finished it in one gulp.
Qi Jinchao has fallen again.
He finished drinking.
He collapsed again.
After drinking five cups in this manner, Xi Xingxue was already somewhat drunk. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness, I think I'm a little tipsy. I must go back now."
How could Xi Xingxue not see it? Qi Jinzhao was probably deliberately getting himself drunk.
Running away is the best option.
Unexpectedly, just as Xi Xingxue stood up, a hand appeared around her waist and stopped her.
"What's the rush?" Qi Jinzhao said in a low voice, "Keep drinking."
Xi Xingxue frowned. "What exactly does Your Highness intend to do?"
His questioning of this already signifies a complete breakdown in relations.
As a result, Qi Jinzhao remained calm and pressed him back into his seat.
"Don't rush off, or... I'll think you hate me."
Xi Xingxue took a deep breath, plopped down, and poured wine into his glass as well.
He poured a cup, and Qi Jinzhao drank a cup.
Pour ten cups, and Qi will drink ten cups today.
"Is Your Highness drunk?" Xi Xingxue asked tentatively.
Qi Jinzhao was about to say that he wasn't drunk, but then changed his mind and said, "I am drunk."
Xi Xingxue said, "Then I'll have someone help you back to rest."
He stood up, about to call for help, when suddenly a figure slammed down on him from behind and pulled him into an embrace.
The man's chin rested on his shoulder, and his low voice, tinged with alcohol, drifted over.
"I feel a little dizzy, give me a hug."
Xi Xingxue's pupils contracted sharply, and she pushed him away forcefully, saying, "Let go of me."
Oh no, oh no, what is this protagonist doing?!
Qi Jinzhao did not react.
Xi Xingxue called out to him, "You're drunk! I'll get someone to help you."
However, her lips were covered by a hand.
"Don't call out, help me up for a bit, I'll feel better after a bit of fresh air."
That's true, and Xi Xingxue also thought he was really drunk.
However, this overly intimate action made Xi Xingxue's hair stand on end, and she felt a little uneasy.
He has principles and a bottom line.
She doesn't like married men, and she doesn't mind being paired with someone else.
Xi Xingxue turned his head and stared at Qi Jinzhao's half-face. In a strange atmosphere, he softly called out to the system in his mind.
"System, please help me check if there's a bug with Qi Jinzhao, otherwise why is he acting so strangely?"
System: "Okay, host."
Not long after.
System: "Master, there seems to be a bug. The world data is disordered, and nothing can be found. I'll report this to my superiors."
Xi Xingxue panicked too: "Okay."
Qi Jinzhao listened to these words without showing any emotion.
He reached out and gently stroked Xi Xingxue's cheek.
"Is there anyone the Imperial Preceptor cannot forget?"
Xi Xingxue shook his head slowly, his nerves taut. After all, the data was chaotic, and this Qi Jinzhao was no longer the Qi Jinzhao he knew.
Seeing Xi Xingxue shake her head, Qi Jinzhao couldn't help but tighten his grip.
