After dinner, Qin Jingke was escorted back to Cherry Blossom Garden by Suanshu.
"Mother?"
"You're back?"
Qin Jingke ran to Xiao Liyun's side and hugged her, speaking in his usual childlike voice...
"Mother, Father touched my head today, and not just once."
As he spoke, Qin Jingke tilted his head back and smiled at Xiao Liyun.
"Alright, Mother knows."
Upon hearing Qin Jingke's words, Xiao Liyun patted Qin Jingke's head.
"Your father loves you, he just doesn't know how to express it, you know?"
"Your subject understands."
Xiao Liyun patted Qin Jingke's head, then looked up in the direction of Futang Palace.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation
After finishing her meal, Xiao Xi'er took Qin Jue for a walk inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Are you still holding on?"
No way!
Xiao Xi'er, holding Qin Jue's hand, looked up at Qin Jue after hearing his words.
"You just can't control your mouth."
"Every time I eat so much, I feel so full I can't stand it anymore."
"whee"
As Qin Jue spoke, he took Xiao Xi'er's hand and, leading her, poked her forehead.
Little Xi'er turned her head slightly to the back and laughed.
"What's wrong?"
"Who made the food so delicious?!"
"What, you're a little glutton yourself, and you're complaining that the food is too delicious?"
"I'm not a little glutton!"
"Hmph~"
Xiao Xi pouted and snorted at Qin Jue.
"If you're not a little glutton, then who is?"
Qin Jue squeezed Xiao Xi'er's hand and asked with a faint smile.
Anyway, I'm not a little glutton~
As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er turned her head to the side, refusing to look at Qin Jue. Then, she saw Sha Ting lying on the ground nearby, and turned back to look at Qin Jue.
"Daddy~, I know who the little glutton is now~"
Who is it?
Xiao Xi'er turned her head, pointed at Sha Ting who was lying on the ground snoring, and said to Qin Jue with a straight face.
"It's it, it's the cat~, the cat is a little glutton."
"Heh~"
Qin Jue laughed at Xiao Xi'er's words, "It's such a pity that Shating can't speak human language."
"Hmph"
The father and daughter continued walking under the moonlight.
When the moon was directly overhead, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation...
Qin Jue opened his eyes while lying in bed and looked at the sleeping Xiao Xi'er in his arms.
He sighed and gently withdrew his arm from under Xiao Xi'er's head.
After Qin Jue pulled his arm out, he got up and got out of bed to cover Xiao Xi'er with the blanket.
He then gently kissed Xiaoxi'er on the forehead, walked to the place where clothes were hanging, picked up his coat, put it on, turned around, went to a corner, and opened a door.
After the door opened, Qin Jue went inside.
Half an hour later, Qin Jue arrived at a completely dark place.
Upon seeing Qin Jue arrive, Zou Heng lit two candles, while Yu Ying immediately took out a luminous pearl from her bosom.
The luminous pearl emitted a bluish-green light, which seemed even more eerie in the dimly lit prison corridor.
Zou Heng walked behind Qin Jue, while Yu Ying, holding the luminous pearl, walked in front of Qin Jue, leading the way.
Soon they arrived at a prison cell.
When Yu Ying shone the luminous pearl on it, she could see two people lying on the ground, a man and a woman.
Zou Heng also came out and lit all the candles in the cell.
Once the candles were lit, the faces of two people on the ground could be clearly seen; they were Liu Ming and Tang Yu.
"Hey, Yu Ying, your secret guard battalion isn't very good—"
As he spoke, Zou Heng deliberately drew out his tone.
"Get lost. You talk like you're not from the Dark Guard Camp."
"Haha, I'm now the commander of the Imperial Guards, not the Dark Guard."
After saying that, Zou Heng pointed to the two people lying on the ground "sleeping".
"Look, these two are sleeping soundly in your secret guard camp."
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Are they sleeping comfortably, or have they passed out from the pain of being tortured?"
"They're clearly sleeping comfortably!"
Zou Heng looked at the two people lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, and said with certainty...
"roll"
Seeing Zou Heng's expression, Yu Ying immediately struck Zou Heng with a palm strike, intending to drive him away.
"Alright, wake them both up."
Qin Jue saw Zou Hengyu and Ying talking, then looked at the two people lying on the ground, his face full of disgust.
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, both Yu Ying and Zou Heng stopped.
"Bring water!"
As soon as Yu Ying finished speaking, two people came again carrying four buckets of water.
Upon seeing the two men carrying water, and glancing at Tang Yu and Liu Ming on the ground, Yu Ying gave the order.
"splash--"
As Yu Ying finished speaking, the two men put down the buckets in their right hands and poured the water from their left buckets onto Tang Yu and Liu Ming respectively.
After using one bucket, he picked up another bucket from the ground and continued to pour water down.
After the two buckets of water were poured down, Tang Yu and Liu Ming were jolted awake by the pain.
"Ouch—"
"Ouch, it hurts so much—"
The first thing the two of them did after waking up was to howl and cry out in pain.
"Noisy"
Qin Jue reached up and pressed his ear, took a step back, and looked at Zou Heng and Yu Ying with displeasure.
"Gag them."
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Yu Ying gave instructions to the two men who had just brought the water buckets.
The two of them tore off pieces of their clothes, crumpled them into balls, and stuffed them into Tang Yu and Liu Ming's mouths.
