Chapter 124 Xiao Jiwu, do you feel uncomfortable?
It must be the emperor's intention to let Xiao Jiwu continue kneeling so that Xiao Jiwu would not get up.
But the Dog Emperor didn't actually ask Xiao Jiwu to continue kneeling, which means... this matter has become a convention that doesn't need to be spoken out.
Explanation...similar situations have happened countless times in the past.
Realizing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After a long silence, he asked in a low voice: "What will you do if I leave?"
Xiao Jiwu replied calmly, "Wait for the emperor's order."
Yun Qingshi asked in a low voice: "...Then how long do we have to wait?"
Xiao Jiwu said: "I don't know, you go back first."
Yun Qingshi: ...
But at this moment, how could he bear to... leave Xiao Jiwu kneeling here alone.
If that's the case, Xiao Jiwu would be too pitiful.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but look up hesitantly at Xiao Jinchen's tent again, but he didn't make any new moves.
Since he didn't hear any movement behind him, Xiao Jiwu knew that the young man had not left.
He immediately spoke again in a deep voice: "This is an order, Ying Eleven, retreat."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was stunned when he heard this.
He actually didn't want to leave, but this was in front of everyone, and he couldn't disobey his master's orders.
Therefore, Yun Qingshi had no choice but to agree: "Yes."
He then turned and walked towards the back.
But Yun Qingshi did not return to the tent, but stopped after walking a long distance.
Then he found a place to hide.
Yun Qingshi jumped up onto the tree and found a suitable place to sit down.
It was a position formed by three large branches. I leaned against the trunk with my back and sat on two branches below. It was quite stable and not too tiring.
And this position has another advantage, you can see Xiao Jiwu just by looking up.
Seeing that Xiao Jiwu was still kneeling there straight, not even taking a break, he couldn't help but sigh, then picked up a leaf and played with it.
He couldn't help but curse silently: "Dog emperor, worse than a beast, bullying his own son..."
For the following time, Yun Qingshi just sat on the tree and tore leaves for fun, and from time to time he looked up at Prince Xiao's back and waited silently.
Then they waited for several hours, from before noon until dark.
Yun Qingshi sat among the branches with an empty stomach, and he couldn't help feeling sleepy. His head nodded and he yawned from time to time.
He didn't wake up until a cold wind blew.
When Yun Qingshi woke up, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but his mood unconsciously became a little heavier.
Looking at Xiao Jiwu again, it had been several hours, but the other party still maintained the previous posture, as if he had not moved at all.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but sigh again.
How long will this dog emperor keep Xiao Jiwu kneeling?
Just when Yun Qingshi was about to fall asleep leaning against the tree trunk again, he finally saw a man walking up to Xiao Jiwu. It was the eunuch beside the emperor.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi immediately became more alert and continued to stare at that place nervously.
But because the distance was quite far, he couldn't hear what the eunuch said at all. He just saw that after the eunuch said a few words, Xiao Jiwu was finally helped to stand up.
Seeing this scene, Yun Qingshi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Xiao Jiwu walking towards the woods alone again, Yun Qingshi quickly jumped down and waited.
After a moment, he finally saw Xiao Jiwu walking towards him.
Yun Qingshi immediately went up to him and said, "Your Majesty."
But because there might be the emperor's people around, he did not dare to take any further action.
Xiao Jiwu was not surprised to see Yun Qing. He just nodded slightly and said, "Follow me."
Yun Qingshi nodded and followed him when he heard the voice, but on the way back he looked at Xiao Jiwu's legs several times out of worry.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be walking just a little slower than usual, he felt relieved.
The two of them walked towards the tent in silence.
Before approaching the tent, Yun Qingshi saw Zhao Mingde and others outside from afar. There was obvious worry on their faces, and it was obvious that they had also received the news.
When Zhao Mingde saw the two of them, he ran over anxiously and asked with a worried look on his face, "Prince, how are you?"
Prince Xiao's voice was still calm: "It's okay, don't worry."
After hearing this, Zhao Mingde sighed, obviously not believing what Xiao Jiwu said.
He simply continued respectfully, "Your Highness and Master Eleven haven't had lunch yet. I've been telling my servants to prepare it, just waiting for Your Highness's return. It's ready anytime. I'll have them serve it right away."
"Yeah." Xiao Jiwu responded in a deep voice, then walked straight into the tent.
Yun Qingshi also followed him into the tent in silence.
Zhao Mingde had already gone downstairs to order the meal to be served.
After a moment, Yun Qingshi looked up at Xiao Jiwu cautiously, opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but no words came out.
Because he really didn't know what to say, and it seemed that whatever he said would be powerless.
He felt that no words could comfort Xiao Jiwu.
In the end, it was Prince Xiao who broke the silence first: "Eleven, come here."
Upon hearing the voice, Yun Qingshi looked at Xiao Jiwu again, and without hesitation, he walked towards the bed where Xiao Jiwu was, and then called softly: "Xiao Jiwu..."
But after calling the name, there was no follow-up.
Xiao Jiwu raised his hand and pinched the boy's cheek, then asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi shook his head gently: "...No."
He wasn't frightened, he was just sighing, just shocked, just with too many complicated emotions...
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu reached out again and held the boy's hands in his palms and squeezed them. His original intention was to comfort him, but he couldn't help but frowned slightly at the moment of contact.
After a moment, he spoke with some helplessness: "Your hands are so cold, why didn't you come back earlier? Why did you keep waiting outside in the cold?"
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi shook his head gently, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Xiao Jiwu, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu subconsciously prepared to shake his head.
It was just kneeling for a few hours, which was not a big deal for him.
But just as he was about to speak, Prince Xiao suddenly recalled the look on the young man's face when he felt sorry for him that day.
He likes that Ying Shiyi cares about him, and he also likes the feeling of being cared about by Ying Shiyi.
Thinking of this, Prince Xiao, who was about to shake his head, nodded decisively and agreed: "Yes, there are some..."
