After a pause, he continued, "What's even stranger is that when we went to investigate, even though the bodies of these nuns were completely burned, they didn't seem to struggle at all. It was as if they had died peacefully. Normally, even if a fire broke out and they couldn't escape in time, they would panic and scream, or even struggle when they found themselves surrounded by flames. It's impossible for them to lie there peacefully."
Xuan Yi listed many unusual things, which made Duan Qingxi narrow his eyes and clench his fists.
It’s not that she thinks people are too vicious, but she has reason to suspect that all this is Duan Shishi’s conspiracy!
Most likely, she wanted to leave the nunnery, but couldn't find a suitable reason, so she colluded with the evil creature to do this!
"Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this matter no matter what!"
"yes!"
Just as Xuan Yi was about to leave, Duan Qingxi suddenly called out to him, "Where's Xuan Er?"
Xuan Yi paused and replied, "Xuan Er went to investigate the assassination we suffered earlier."
"Let him come back and don't investigate. I know the whole story."
"yes."
Then, Duan Qingxi looked at him again and said, "Besides these things, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Duan Qingxi meant. He looked at her doubtfully and said, "Is there anything else I should say?"
Duan Qingxi looked at him without saying anything, but Xuan Yi quickly reacted.
Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Duan Qingxi and said, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate does have something to say to the princess."
He was probably organizing his words. Even though he was kneeling, Duan Qingxi could see that he was very nervous.
It was unknown how long it had been before Xuan Yi said nervously, "I want to go alone with the princess..."
"oh."
Duan Qingxi knew who he was talking about, but he just hoped that he could take the initiative to explain himself clearly.
Xuan Yi continued, "This subordinate...this subordinate and Qiao Yun are in love with each other, and I hope the princess can help us!"
If it were with another master, he and Qiao Yun would definitely be punished according to family rules for such a private transaction, and might even be sentenced to death.
But he had been with Duan Qingxi for so long and knew that she had always been open-minded and had always hoped that servants like them could find their own happiness, so he did not say anything about apologizing or granting them death.
Compared to those words, Xuan Yi knew very well that Duan Qingxi preferred to hear his request for help.
Duan Qingxi supported his chin and did not agree to him immediately. Instead, he asked, "You and Qiao Yun...you two?"
Xuan Yi didn't know what he was thinking about. He seemed a little shy. He stammered, "Your subordinate...Your subordinate and Qiao Yun...have secretly decided to spend their lives together."
But after thinking about it, he quickly said, "This is all my fault! Please don't blame Qiao Yun, my lady. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Even though he said that, Duan Qingxi still admired him. At least he was not a heartless scumbag.
Duan Qingxi looked at him and said, "Are you going to marry Qiao Yun?"
"yes!"
Xuan Yi didn't know whether Duan Qingxi would really agree, so he was still quite nervous.
After a while, Duan Qingxi continued, "Then...what if I ask you to marry only Qiao Yun in this life?"
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "What else? Who else can I marry besides Qiao Yun?"
The question made Duan Qingxi feel as if someone had forced him to eat dog food.
