Late at night, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves, and a young man in a scarlet cloak quickly passed through the palace gate.
There was a hideous scar between his eyebrows, his slightly upturned eyes were very lively, his nose was delicate and straight, he always had a natural smile on his lips, and his face was naturally a bit childish.
With this lingering childishness mixed with scars, Chi Xuanye is like... like a nobleman who kills without blinking an eye.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chi Rong breathing weakly.
Chi Xuanye washed his hands in the basin held by the guard, then walked over slowly: "Sister."
Chi Rong opened his eyes instantly, looked at his younger brother excitedly, sat up and put his hands on his shoulders: "Aye, you are really back, I thought I would never see you again."
Chi Rong is the only daughter of this generation of the Chi family. Although her brothers are all kind to her, she still distinguishes between relatives and strangers.
For example, Chi Xuanye is Chi Rong's younger brother from the same mother. He is the person closest to her besides her father.
Their mother died during childbirth, so Lord Chi became even more tolerant and doting on Chi Xuanye, which fostered his domineering character.
...
...
Even if a royal relative provoked him, he would gouge out an eye from that person.
When he was at his craziest, only Chi Rong could stop him. He didn't dare to go crazy in front of Chi Rong, for fear of seeing blood and scaring his frail sister.
In Chi Rong's heart, her younger brother is her last resort.
Chi Rong's eyes could not help but turn red. She clutched Chi Xuanye's clothes and said with hope: "Aye, I am really terminally ill. I don't want to die."
Chi Rong didn't notice that his younger brother's attitude was too calm, and even the curve of his mouth didn't change.
Chi Xuanye put down Chi Rong's hand on his shoulder and sighed inaudibly, "Sister, there is no miracle doctor in the world."
Chi Rong was impatient: "I know that Wanpin has a magic medicine. She gave it to a dying concubine and she got better. But she won't give it to me."
The fire in the lamp shot up, and the bright yellow light reflected on the two people's faces.
"Princess Wan?"
Chi Rong nodded: "Do you remember when we were young...living on Qingyue Street, there was a Lin family member who went out to mend clothes every day, that was Lin Zhiya! She entered the palace."
Chi Xuanye widened his eyes in surprise, his expression a little hesitant.
Two dimples appeared on his cheeks, and his smile was as sweet as honey. He said gently, "What a coincidence. It's getting late. Sister, please go to bed."
Chi Rong thought he agreed, so she smiled and said shyly, "When I get better, I want to enter the palace. I was wrong before. I still want to be with Brother Zhao Chen."
Chi Xuanye unbuttoned his cloak, revealing a black coat with an unfastened collar, revealing his lean, white chest.
Chi Xuanye thought, "Well, Brother Zhao Chen, I haven't seen him yet, so I should go there."
Chi Rong's heart was pounding, and he felt as shy as if his husband was meeting his younger brother. "...He has changed now. He is no longer the man who I couldn't help begging for before."
Chi Xuanye smiled in agreement, "His status is different now. He is certainly not the Zhao Chen who used to take us everywhere."
Chi Rong fell into a deep sleep, his bloodless lips pressed together.
Chi Xuanye walked out, but did not go to find Zhao Chen. Instead, he came to the outside of Lin Zhiya's Xuanzhu Hall.
The lights were still on in the Xuanzhu Hall. Lin Zhiya was wearing a wooden brocade patterned skirt and a fluffy shawl wrapped around her face.
She sniffed against the wind, threw the shuttlecock with her hand, and was playing kicking with Hemei.
He Mei yelled, "My Queen, please don't drink alcohol anymore, okay? Don't drink fruit wine either! Why don't you sleep after drinking?"
Lin Zhiya has a very thin waist, and she looks particularly beautiful when kicking shuttlecock. She stares at the shuttlecock intently, with sweat already appearing on her forehead.
Lin Zhiya shook her shoes and insisted, "My shoes are uncomfortable today. I could still play."
He Mei forced a smile, put her hands on her hips and panted, "But my lady, didn't you just change these shoes? And you've already used this excuse."
Lin Zhiya stared at her with a pair of eyes that were obviously drunk and unclear.
He Mei: “…”
Chi Xuanye outside tilted his head and listened for a while, then climbed up to the top of the wall to peek. He was light and did not make any noise.
Chi Xuanye locked onto Lin Zhiya tightly, his pupils dilated. Is this really Lin Zhiya? How come she has become more beautiful?
I never realized that Lin Zhiya was such a beauty before. Chi Xuanye laughed, the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.
The last time he saw Lin Zhiya, she was still a gray-faced little girl, running past him holding a pair of mended clothes.
What was he thinking at that time... He was thinking that there was actually a little girl like this living in Qingyue Street, wow.
He saw Lin Zhiya's cracked hand when they passed by each other. Feeling sorry for her, Chi Xuanye for the first time did not pursue the matter with her for breaking his jade pendant.
When we met again, the little girl had become Concubine Wan?
Chi Xuanye raised a finger and said to himself, It’s been three days since we last met.
Lin Zhiya was also a highlight in his days as a hegemon, because he had seen this little girl running so hard that her shoes fell off many times just to earn a few pennies from sewing shoes.
Chi Xuanye once made an analogy, saying that even if his Black Hunter was starved for three days and then let out to eat, it would not be as fast as Lin Zhiya running to work.
Damn, that's too mean. Chi Xuanye's remaining conscience said this.
Chi Xuanye only has one sister who can serve as a comparison. Chi Rong is dignified and restrained every day. She is frail and sickly, so he has to be careful with her in everything.
Lin Zhiya is a rustic girl who runs around all day like a free-range animal, seemingly never feeling tired. Her father, that inhuman creature, scolds her all day long.
...Isn’t this one well-maintained?
Chi Xuanye focused his gaze on Lin Zhiya's face again and murmured, "She's so pretty. I would have taken action earlier if I had known."
At this point, Lin Zhiya heard a puzzled voice in the yard: "Where is the shuttlecock?"
He Mei said weakly, "My Lady, it must have been kicked into a tree. I'll go get someone to take it down."
He Mei was still worried: "My Lady, please go into the house first. It's windy, don't get cold."
Lin Zhiya agreed, but turned around and lay down on the lounge chair in the yard, yawning and falling asleep.
Chi Xuanye remembered the medicine Chi Rong mentioned, so he jumped off the wall and walked towards Lin Zhiya.
Chi Xuanye picked up her loose hair and tidied it up. The rough marks on his fingertips annoyed Lin Zhiya, so she slapped Chi Xuanye on the arm.
Chi Xuanye was stunned, with a trace of grievance on his lips. He put the tip of the knife on Lin Zhiya's neck.
"Yaya, I heard you have a magic medicine that can cure diseases, can you give it to me?"
Lin Zhiya opened her eyes hazily, her black and white eyes met his, her red nose twitched twice, and she asked in confusion: "What?"
