Chapter 455: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (61)
Shen Yi squatted at the door, quietly looking at Lu Cha walking out of the Golden Palace.
His pupils were moist, sparkling with broken tears, like a pitiful big dog waiting for his owner at the door for a long time.
"Why are you here, my dear?"
Before Lu Cha could finish her words, she was suddenly hugged tightly by Shen Yi.
The voice that sounded beside my ear was low and hoarse, with a hint of trembling:
"I thought you were injured."
Shen Yi gently rubbed his cheek against the little emperor's hair, feeling the girl's scent to soothe his inner panic and anxiety, no longer caring about etiquette.
Guessing that Shen Yi's abnormal behavior was probably because he was recalling his childhood, Lu Cha reluctantly pulled out a hand, touched his head, and comforted him:
"As long as my beloved concubine is here, I will be fine."
"But His Majesty didn't wake me up this morning."
Shen Yi said sullenly, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sound, so it was impossible for him not to notice Sejun leaving.
This morning, he vaguely heard Xiaoshan's voice, and then lost consciousness...
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Did your majesty knock me out again?"
“?!”
Lu Cha pretended to be calm and broke free from Shen Yi's embrace: "You were confused after sleeping."
"It's broad daylight, and Imperial Tutor Li is still here. My beloved concubine, please pay attention to etiquette."
Because they were outside, it was not convenient to ask about what happened last night. Shen Yi temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and reluctantly let go of the little emperor, but his fingertips quietly grasped her drooping sleeves.
But Master Li was already standing there in a daze.
Only then did he notice the red marks on his Majesty's neck and the deep teeth marks on Shen Yi's neck.
It was obvious that the two of them had done something.
"Your Majesty, you and Shen Zhaoyi..."
Master Li pursed his lips, not knowing how to ask about their relationship.
Lu Cha took Shen Yi’s hand and dropped a bombshell: “In fact, Shen Zhaoyi is a man.”
Master Li's eyes immediately widened.
Knowing that Lu Cha values Master Li very much, Shen Yi nodded and apologized: "There are reasons for this. Shen Yi has to disguise himself as a woman and conceal his identity. I beg Master Master to forgive me."
Looking at the purple-clothed "woman" who was so beautiful that she could turn everyone upside down, and whose voice was so deep and magnetic, Master Li staggered and had to hold on to the door frame to avoid falling.
After a pause, Li Taifu murmured, "It's okay, I can bear it."
If his Majesty can dress up as a man, then why can't Shen Zhaoyi dress up as a woman?
Thinking this way, Master Li felt that he could accept it.
However, the little emperor gave him another blow: "Then I'll have to trouble you to explain Shen Zhaoyi's identity to all the officials."
“I intend to confer the title of Emperor’s Consort on Shen Yi.”
"He transported disaster relief grain for me and stabilized the people's hearts. He is worthy of the position of the emperor's husband."
"No wonder Your Majesty didn't tell me who was assigned to transport the grain. It turns out that mysterious person was Shen Zhaoyi!" Taifu Li was surprised, but later realized something:
"Your Majesty just told me that you will need my help in the future. Is that your plan?"
"Let this old minister face the civil and military officials?"
Lu Cha said seriously, "I believe the teacher will handle it well!"
Master Li snorted angrily at Lu Cha, but he could do nothing about it.
What can he do about the order from his own emperor?
Just do it.
Li Taifu went to discuss with the officials in a frustrated mood.
If he had known there would be an extra task, he should have left faster!
As soon as Li Taifu left, Shen Qiuxi came over with a rare smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, the bodies of those private soldiers have been burned."
"I threw away the knife you used because it touched Gu Guifan's body and it brought bad luck."
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your Majesty took Shen Qiuxi to the North Gate?"
So, he was the only one who was unaware and was knocked unconscious and left in the palace?
Lu Cha blinked innocently and immediately changed the subject: "Qiu Xi has something to tell you!"
"It's about what happened back then."
Let the little heroine divert the attention of the little villain!
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.
Let’s coax two little ones today!
Shen Qiuxi was confused, but when she saw the little emperor's encouraging look, she instantly understood what Lu Cha meant.
The matter between Gu Guifan and the person behind Chunxue Pavilion has now been resolved, and it’s time for her to untie the knot with Shen Yi.
Shen Qiuxi gritted his teeth and leaned towards Shen Yi:
"sorry."
"Some time ago, I misunderstood you. I thought you were going to cooperate with Gu Guifan to take action against the disaster relief grain. I also misunderstood you back then and killed my father."
Shen Qiuxi took a deep breath and finally called out that name: "I'm sorry, brother."
Shen Yi was stunned, and in a trance he returned to the age before seven.
Chen Qiuxi followed him every day, saying in a baby voice, "Brother, wait for me."
If his parents had not been killed, and the old Pavilion Master and Prime Minister Gu had not deceived them, he and Shen Qiuxi would not have been in such a stalemate until today.
They are both right.
But some things are difficult to restore once they are broken.
Shen Yi habitually wanted to escape, but Lu Cha grabbed his hand.
“People need to look forward instead of dwelling on the past.”
"Chen Qiuxi isn't indifferent to you, she just doesn't know how to express it. She also feels guilty about the poison and doesn't know how to apologize to you."
Having said this, Lu Cha looked at Chen Qiuxi again:
"Chen Yi is not avoiding you, he just doesn't want to recall those things in the past."
Shen Yi, whose thoughts were directly exposed by Lu Cha, turned his head away shyly, and suddenly felt warmth on the back of his hand.
Lu Cha forcibly held Shen Yi and Shen Qiuxi's hands together, as if coaxing two irritable children, and said earnestly:
"You are each other's only relatives. You must help each other and be good brothers and sisters."
"Instead of caring for each other in secret, it's better to shake hands and make peace, and take care of each other openly."
Shen Qiuxi looked away unnaturally.
Shen Yi instinctively wanted to pull his hand back.
But the little emperor looked at them eagerly.
In the end, Shen Yi reluctantly held Shen Qiuxi's hand and complied with Lu Cha's expectations:
"What's past is past."
Unexpectedly, he relaxed inexplicably after saying this.
The stone that had been weighing on my chest seemed to disappear at this moment.
Perhaps the only thing missing between him and Shen Qiuxi is someone who can break the rift.
Mr. Se has always been very direct.
A hint of tenderness spread in his thoughtful eyes.
And Shen Qiuxi hummed softly, and the tip of her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
She thought her brother would never forgive her.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had finally become harmonious, Lu Cha said considerately: "Then I will go review the memorials, and you two can chat."
Give the little villain and the little heroine space to talk to each other!
Little did they know that as soon as Lu Cha left, Shen Yi and Shen Qiuxi immediately let go of each other's hands.
After all, we haven't been friends for more than ten years and are not used to this kind of close contact.
Shen Yi raised his hand and rubbed his brow to hide his abnormality: “From now on, don’t think about running away.”
"Chunxue Pavilion will not assign you any more missions."
"You can do whatever you want."
Sejun, I hope he gets better.
He didn't want to let Sejun down.
Shen Yi's eyes suddenly turned, staring straight at Shen Qiuxi: "Have you known for a long time that His Majesty is a woman?"
Shen Qiuxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “I knew it before I entered the palace.”
Shen Yi's breath caught in his throat, and he asked with almost gritted teeth: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"I promised your majesty not to tell anyone."
Perhaps because he had been with Lu Cha for a long time, Shen Qiuxi's answer was somewhat justified:
"Besides, you didn't even ask me."
Shen Yi choked, and angrily swung his sleeves and strode away.
Shen Qiuxi is really his good sister!
