Chapter 25 My heart is beating so fast
Xie Jingyu hugged him and felt her heart soften. It turned out that this was what it felt like to be trusted and relied upon. It was really wonderful.
"I'm here, I'm not afraid anymore,"
He held her tightly, and her arms were filled with the smell of blood from hunting. However, Wei Qingcheng felt completely safe. As long as she was in this man's arms, she didn't have to think about anything, and she didn't have to be afraid of anything...
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Whose heartbeat is this? The clear heartbeat echoes between the two people hugging each other tightly.
When I get close to him, my heart beats abnormally and my face turns red unconsciously. What’s wrong with me…
Xie Jingyu looked at the surrounding hunting platforms. All eyes were fixed on him and Wei Qingcheng's discussion.
"Is that Princess Hexuan? How come the two of them are hugging each other? They are so shameless."
"You should be more polite. Weren't you afraid of that wolf just now?"
"I am afraid, but with so many people here, it is really immoral to act like this without paying attention to others!"
Xie Jingyu didn't care about these things, and Wei Qingcheng didn't seem to care either. They embraced each other in public, abandoning etiquette and pushing away the secular clouds. Would his love be able to see the light of day? Xie Jingyu couldn't help but wonder...
"The Emperor has returned from hunting!"
The eunuch's voice sounded,
Xie Jingyu held Wei Qingcheng in one hand and used Qinggong. The two of them landed on the ground and stood on the open ground.
"Your Majesty is welcome back from hunting!"
They saluted with everyone else. The emperor looked at the wolf and the blood on the ground. The smile on his face faded. He jumped off his horse and said, "What a waste! A group of people couldn't keep an eye on this beast and let it out of the forest."
He saw that the dagger in the wolf's belly belonged to Xie Jingyu, and he burst into laughter: "Hahaha! You are worthy of being my son. Come here, bring over everything that Prince Hexuan hunted today!"
Two of them were carrying one wolf, and four eunuchs were carrying the two wolves. Everyone was shocked. With such force, even General Zhao would have to think twice.
"Great! This is quite like my youth. Someone, come and roast the deer I hunted as a reward for Jingyu!"
As the emperor was about to take a step, Xie Jingyu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the wolf just ran straight towards my beloved wife. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid my beloved wife would have fallen into the wolf's mouth. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly!"
The emperor went straight to the highest hunting observation platform and slapped his hand on the table: "I am here. I want to see with my own eyes today who is causing trouble!"
Seeing Xie Jingyu standing up for him, Wei Qingcheng stopped shrinking back and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, a palace maid just brought a plate of raw meat with blood. I am not suitable to eat meat and wanted to refuse it, but I saw that she had a wound on her wrist, so I accepted it..."
The emperor was pleased with his address as a son and subject.
Jingyu, even if you deny it, you are still my son, and your wife must call herself my son in front of me.
Because of some reason, she was also concerned about this matter, so the maid was brought up immediately.
Kneeling on the ground, trembling, with some scratches on her face: "Your Majesty, please have mercy and spare this servant! I was forced to do this."
The guard who caught her said, "Your Majesty, I caught her in the woods. When I caught her, she was trying to escape. This is her package!"
The emperor gave a look and the guards opened the package, which was filled with gold and silver jewelry.
The emperor asked the maid, "Who ordered this?"
"No one instructed me to do this. It's just that I admire the prince and I'm jealous of the princess."
The maid knocked her head to the ground and refused to speak any more.
Just when it was quiet, there was a clang, and Yan Da Ying accidentally dropped the snack plate on the table.
The emperor looked over with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Yan agreed, I remember that you also have such a butterfly hairpin."
"No, it's not you, Your Majesty!"
She and the maid behind her knelt on the ground in panic, speaking incoherently.
"Your Highness, I don't know her!"
"Really? Whose hairpin is this?" The emperor walked to the package and picked up the butterfly hairpin.
The palace maid who had been silent before spoke up: "Yan agreed! She gave me a lot of jewelry and asked for it on the grounds of my parents, and Yan agreed!
Yan agreed to do this because she was jealous of the late Concubine Xin! ”
Listening to the maid's recount, the emperor grabbed the butterfly hairpin, and the butterfly antennae on the hairpin were broken off. "Do you think you can be jealous of her? Come! Concubine Yan is trying to murder the princess. She is jealous and has bad behavior. Her title of concubine will be revoked. She will be taken to the Dali Temple together with this maid to await trial."
"Your Majesty! I didn't do it! I am innocent!"
Yan agreed and the palace maid were dragged away.
Wei Qingcheng felt something was wrong, and whispered to Xie Jingyu: "Your Majesty, I don't think it's right. The maid told me before that she was sent by their queen. Yan's position is not high enough to be called queen, right?
She clearly didn’t want to speak before, but why did she immediately come out to answer once Yan promised to be suspected by the emperor…”
Xie Jingyu patted him on the back and replied in a deep voice: "It's not quite right. Li Yi and I just heard a strange whistle in the forest..."
Wei Qingcheng nodded: "When the wolf came out, I heard the sound of the flute."
Xie Jingyu still gently stroked his back: "Don't be afraid, Yan Da Ying is obviously a scapegoat, let the mastermind relax his vigilance first, and then we can track him down."
"Then Yan promised her..." Wei Qingcheng frowned.
"I will find someone to protect her life,"
"You are so kind, my Lord. There is no one else like you in the world who has such great power but still cares about the lives of these people," Wei Qingcheng looked at Xie Jingyu seriously.
"Qingcheng, it's for your own good. I'm willing to help you because you want to save me," Xie Jingyu wiped the dirt off his nose.
Wei Qingcheng narrowed her peach blossom eyes and smiled slightly: "Well, you are also good, the fact that you are willing to help is enough to prove that you have the intention to do good."
Xie Jingyu said nothing more, but just kept stroking his back. When he was young, he was always afraid of the dark, so Yan Shurou would stroke his back and tell him that if he touched his back like this, ghosts would think there was someone behind him and would be scared away.
He was quietly happy in his heart.
Qingcheng, I know you don't regard me as your lover, but if you keep saying these words every day, I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore...
Seemingly unintentional words can hit people's hearts the most. Wei Qingcheng is always like this, hitting his heart without knowing it, and making his heart warm.
After a few days, they get along with each other openly again, leaving only the emotional ones to stay where they are and let their love grow freely.
But Wei Qingcheng's nature is like this, she treats people well without asking for anything in return, whether it's Wang Yu who repays kindness with enmity, or Su Cheng who is still young, or herself who has nothing...
How could anyone not love such a person, Qingcheng... Even if I die for you thousands of times, and reincarnate for thousands of lifetimes, I will still be happy...
Wei Qingcheng felt Xie Jingyu rubbing her back, recalling the moment when Xie Jingyu saved her, fearing that her heartbeat would be discovered.
My face is hot, I feel embarrassed to be teased like a child, but I like it this way...
What's wrong with me?
