Qin Ruoxi saw through the hidden meaning in his words and couldn't help but laugh.
"puff--"
"Yan Yu, keep eating, eat your fill."
"Really?"
Qin Ruoxi nodded, then glanced at Zou Heng. Seeing that Zou Heng nodded in return, she picked up her chopsticks again and continued eating.
When Yan Yu finished eating, there was no food left on the table; the plates that had held the food were all empty.
After finishing his meal, Yan Yu put down his chopsticks, patted his round belly, and let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm so full!"
"This is the most I've ever eaten so much."
After speaking, as if remembering something, he immediately turned his head to look at Qin Ruoxi.
"Miss, I'll be your bodyguard from now on. Let Fengyang become His Majesty's bodyguard."
The more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became, as if he couldn't wait to capture Deng Yang and send him to Qin Jue's side. Then he could become Qin Ruoxi's permanent bodyguard.
"No, Feng Yang is my bodyguard. What about you... protect my father?"
Please, miss
I was in the Dark Guard Camp, and my master bullied me. I was never full, never warm, never slept, and had to follow him around all day long.
I also want to have a full meal...
Upon hearing these words, Qin Ruoxi couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, "Pfft—"
"Words, you're going to make me laugh to death!"
"Don't worry..."
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, "Don't worry," Yan Yu immediately nodded, assuming that Qin Ruoxi agreed with what he had said.
"Don't worry, Yan Yu... I heard and remembered everything you said."
Not only did I hear and remember it, but Uncle Zou Heng, Qingye Dongtao, and the others also heard and remembered it.
As for me... I will definitely tell my father to bring you here; I will also definitely tell Uncle Yuying how grateful you are to him.”
"You're welcome~, words—"
"After all, you'll be mine from now on, so everything I do for you is only what I should do. Hahaha."
"Hahaha"
"No need to thank me."
Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words and laughter, Yan Yu realized that he had been fooled by her.
Yan Yu glanced at the group of people looking at him, smiled, and then used his light-footed skill to return to the rooftop to continue his duties as a bodyguard.
Qin Ruoxi watched as Yan Yu ran away, then called out to the roof beam a few more times, "Yan Yu?"
"speech?"
"Miss, please stop teasing me."
Qin Ruoxi, sitting on the stool, heard the muffled voice and laughed even more heartily.
Dongtao smiled as she cleared the plates off the table, and Qingye helped her along.
Qin Ruoxi walked out of the room and saw Zou Heng sitting on the roof. She also used her light-footed skill to get to the roof and looked at the moon with him.
"Uncle Zou Heng, is Sister Baili about to give birth?"
"Yes, I'll give birth next month."
Qin Ruoxi propped her head up and asked Zou Heng. Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's question, Zou Heng's entire demeanor softened.
The image in my mind was of Baili Yao sitting on the bed, and both of us touching Baili Yao's swollen belly, feeling the kicks of the fetus inside.
The two looked at each other and then smiled.
Seeing that Zou Heng hadn't answered her question, Qin Ruoxi turned to look at him, who was lost in thought.
"Uncle Zou Heng?"
Zou Heng didn't answer Qin Ruoxi. Qin Ruoxi probably guessed that Zou Heng was thinking about Baili Yao, so she stopped calling out.
Instead, she turned her head to look at the moon, which was obscured by clouds.
"What do you think Miss and her martial uncle were thinking about while sitting on the roof beam?"
Dongtao patted Qingye's arm and said...
"have no idea"
"It's definitely not because I miss you!"
Just as Dongtao heard Qingye say she didn't know, she heard another voice.
And it sounds really irritating.
Turning my head, I saw Yan Yu, who had somehow appeared as a bodyguard from the roof beam, standing beside me.
Dongtao glanced at the words with obvious disdain and immediately took a step to the side.
"Why are you hiding?"
Yan Yu watched as Dong Tao dodged to the side, asked in confusion, and then continued moving towards Dong Tao.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Why???"
"Because I despise you!!!"
Yan Yu laughed when she heard Dong Tao's words, "You look down on me?"
Dongtao remained silent, but continued speaking, "Then I'll need to get even closer to you."
Then it became like this
Seeing Yan Yu walking towards her, Dong Tao turned and walked away. Dong Tao was speechless looking at Yan Yu, who was still right next to her.
He used his lightness skill to get further away from Yan Yu, but Yan Yu followed him again after a short while.
And so, Dongtao used her light-footed skills to run farther and farther away, while her words grew closer and closer.
Qingye stood still, ignoring Dongtao and Yanyu, and looked up at Qin Ruoxi sitting on the roof.
——————
The next day, around noon, Qin Ruoxi and her companions descended the mountain and headed towards the capital.
After entering the capital, Qin Ruoxi immediately returned to the palace.
At the city gate, a man saw Qin Ruoxi's carriage enter the city and quickly followed it.
Only after watching the carriage enter the palace gates did the people following it leave.
In the courtyard
"Master, Miss Qin has returned to the city. However..."
Yu Feng stopped mid-sentence. Jun Qingzhi, holding her teacup, glanced at Yu Feng sideways, and Yu Feng immediately resumed speaking.
"However, Miss Qin has already returned to the palace."
Hearing this, Jun Qingzhi was not surprised and said nothing.
"Step down."
Upon hearing Jun Qingzhi's words, Yu Feng withdrew.
Half an hour later, Jun Qingzhi looked at a tree in the courtyard.
He held his teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke expressionlessly and coldly.
Aren't you coming out?
"It seems you already know why I've come."
Yu Ying emerged from behind the tree and walked towards Jun Qingzhi.
"How have you been?"
"I don't think I know you."
Jun Qingzhi glanced at Yu Ying indifferently and spoke softly.
You don't know me, but I know you.
Yu Ying sat down opposite Jun Qingzhi, poured herself another cup of tea, and began to drink it.
After a while, Yu Ying looked at Jun Qingzhi and spoke, "Since you know why I'm here, I won't say any more."
"You may leave now."
Jun Qingzhi spoke to Yu Ying, and then called to Yu He, "Yu He, see the guests out!"
Upon hearing Jun Qingzhi's words, Yu He walked up to Yu Ying and said, "Please leave."
As soon as Yu He finished speaking, he was slapped away by Yu Ying.
Do you think you have that ability?
Yu Ying looked at the teacup in her hand, swirling it around in her fingers, unsure whether she was speaking to He or to Jun Qingzhi.
After Yu He stood up from the ground, he tried to walk towards Jun Qingzhi, but Jun Qingzhi stopped him.
"Yu He, step back."
