Xie 'er had misunderstood Rong Ruo. In addition to the stalemate and animosity from a few days ago, and because of Miss Qiyue's peerless talent, she could not help but feel a wave of resentment and grief. She could not suppress it for a moment and actually covered her face and ran out of the residence crying.
This originally sensitive relationship was further cut off by the misunderstanding.
" Cousin..." Rong Ruo chased after her but did not see Xie 'er. He looked around in panic.
Because of this small matter, Xie 'er cried her heart out. She realized that she had already cared for him so deeply. She admitted that she loved him, loved him, and relied on him. It was deeply rooted in her bones, but it was precisely because of this that she did not want to see another person appear by his side before he left, wanting to replace her original position. She admitted that she was selfish deep down. She only wanted him to be loyal to her. However, what right did a person who was about to enter the palace have to interfere with his happiness and future? Moreover, Qiyue and he were a talented and beautiful woman, they were a perfect match.
Wasn't this the time to ruthlessly cut off his thoughts? Why was he so weak that he couldn't do it? Why do you still cry and feel sad? Why was his selfishness still causing trouble in her heart, causing her to be so jealous that her heart was broken?
Xie 'er was conflicted, struggling, and unknowingly ran to somewhere. The sky was already dark.
"Little beauty, are you sad? Are you lonely? I'll help you wipe it off and smile for me.”Just as she was in a daze with tears in her eyes, a man dressed like a young master suddenly appeared in front of her, and he even spoke so rudely.
Xie 'er was furious and slapped him, but the man knocked her back.
"Yo, this little girl is hitting people? It's very spicy. I like it. Hahaha.”That person wasn't angry and continued to tease.
"Where did this lecher come from? Go away!" Xie 'er was about to leave when a dozen strong manservants suddenly appeared behind the man and blocked her way, sneering at her.
"I didn't ask you to leave, but you want to leave? Come, come, come. Come into the building and laugh with me.”The man raised his arm and was about to put it on his shoulder. Xie 'er was unwilling to comply and pushed him away. The man staggered a few steps back in a drunken state before he was supported by a few servants.
He was a little impatient. He patted his chest and snorted." Do you know who I am? This lord is the younger brother of the current empress, who dares to disobey! She didn't even have time to throw herself into his arms, so why are you still pretending to be noble!”
"Lecher! Get lost!" Xie 'er was ashamed and furious.
"You want to do it the hard way! Come on, carry her in." The man gave the order and a group of servants rushed forward. Each of them was tall and strong, and they easily lifted Xie 'er up.
"What is this place?" Shocked, Xie 'er quickly turned around and saw that she had unknowingly arrived in front of the Yichun Courtyard. Outside the door, upstairs, and inside the building, she looked up and saw all the women dressed in gorgeous clothes and with licentious manners…Her heart sank. In her grief just now, she had actually arrived here in a flash.
"What place? Tell her!" The man waved his fan and smiled.
"Good place!" Everyone laughed.
"What building?" The man laughed wretchedly.
"Carefree Building! "Hahaha…" The crowd laughed again.
"You guys! Let me go!" Xie 'er was already firmly held by everyone and could not struggle free.
The brothel madame saw that it was the empress's younger brother, Suo Han. Knowing that he was notorious and a frequent visitor to the brothel, she felt a burst of joy. Thinking that he was very rich and generous, she did not care where he got the girl and did not prepare a superior room. She smiled and led the way to the top floor. After receiving the reward, she left.
Suo Han closed his fan, flicked his braid, and impatiently closed the door.
"Let me out! You lecher!" Xie 'er rushed towards the door but was blocked by Suo Han.
"Let you out? That's easy." Suo Han smiled mischievously. His two small eyes stared straight at her, wandering around her body like a small fish.
"Then open the door!" Xie 'er said angrily.
"When you're done serving me tonight, I'll go out with you. How about that?”Suo Han grabbed her slender waist when she wasn't paying attention.
"Pa!" Xie 'er sharply fanned her face, and Suo Han covered his face in shock.
Before he could react, Xie 'er spun around and quickly dodged backward.
" Little beauty, you're quite spicy... Don't run..." Suo Han laughed tipsy and pounced forward again.
Xie 'er leaned against the window and shouted angrily," Don't come over! I'm not a woman from this brothel who can be bullied by you. If you come any closer, I'll jump down!"
"This is the top floor. Jumping down is not fun.”Suo Han woke up and threatened.
Seeing his hesitation, Xie 'er quickly took the opportunity to turn around and pull open the window. She saw that the people downstairs were like ants. A cold breeze poured into the room. The moonlight was so cold that it was suffocating. Xie' er trembled, and the coldness was like studying before she died.
Xie 'er calmly climbed onto the windowsill, closed her eyes, and looked up.
Goodbye, cousin…
" Little Ji, Little Ji…" A strong man walked into Qi Ji's tent.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Qi Ji quickly got up from the felt.
"The Qing Emperor is getting married!" Qi Ji's brother looked worried and uneasy.
"What?! So fast!" Qi Ji's eyes widened in shock, filled with pain and worry.
"Yes, Xiao Ji, I just received the imperial edict. I rushed over to tell you when I heard it.”The man looked at her anxiously.
"Actually…it's already a foregone conclusion whether you marry early or late.”Qi Ji's originally worried face suddenly brightened up." Brother, Qi Ji is getting married. Bless me."”
" You…" The man sighed and sat down. He turned his head and said nothing.
Qi Ji quietly squatted beside his brother and leaned on his knees. He said lightly," I know that my brother has doted on me since I was young. Sixteen years ago, after Mother was snatched from the hands of the Qing army, she gave birth to me and my sister. Because half of the blood of the Qing Dynasty flows in our veins, the people in the clan always look down on us. Only my brother doesn't. After the war, my sister went missing. Only my brother took care of me, tolerated me, and protected me like Ama and Mother. He taught me martial arts, riding and shooting. Although he had lost his sister, Qi Ji would never forget that he still had a good brother. Brother is the brightest ray of sunshine on the prairie, always silently warming Qi Ji…"
When the man heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. His name was Mo, and he was Qi Ji's only elder brother. He was nineteen years old.
For the past 16 years, he had been taking care of this willful and barbaric but kind-hearted sister. In fact, she was sensitive and easily hurt, but her childhood experience had taught her how to pretend to be tough. She was willful and barbaric because she wanted to attract her father's attention. She wanted more care, and she wanted to make up for that blank childhood. She was honest and stubborn in many things. She was persistent and tenacious, and there was a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat in her.
Her dream had always been to go to the Qing Dynasty and look for her sister who had gone missing many years ago. However, he did not expect the opportunity to come so cruelly and quickly.
Ama's daughter, only she had reached the age of marriage. There was no other way. No matter how Mo begged her father, it was useless. The burden of saving the people was still heavily pressed on Qi Ji's small body. However, returning to the Qing Dynasty might not be a bad thing for Qi Ji. Half of her blood was from the Qing Dynasty.
He had to pay her back eventually. Ma snatched his mother away, but sixteen years later, he asked his daughter to pay him back. The cycle of the world was truly insurmountable.
" Xiao Ji…" Mo gently stroked her hair.
"Brother, when is Qi Ji leaving?”Qi Ji raised his head and looked at him. It turned out that his brother was already in tears.
"Next spring." Mo replied with a sob.
" Fortunately, Qi Ji still has a long time to spend with my brother. He can do things that Qi Ji wanted to do but didn't dare to do in the past. He can say goodbye to the grasslands, the sun, the river, to a certain place…to a certain person…to say goodbye…" Qi Ji suddenly burst into tears. He couldn't make a sound as he lay on his brother's lap and sobbed.
"Someone?" Mo softly read,"Qi Ji, is it the person Qi Ji likes?"”
When Qi Ji heard this, he couldn't hold it in any longer. After suppressing himself for so many days, he finally burst into tears.
"Really? Little Ji, how could big brother not know?" Mo quickly helped Qi Ji up from the ground and pulled her to sit on the blanket. He silently wiped away her tears." Qi Ji, can you tell your brother?"”
" Um…" Qi Ji wiped his tears and sobbed." That person is called Goudan." He saved me and brought me home. He said he was a hunter here, but after I came back, I went to look for him for a long time. I went door to door, but I couldn't find him…"
When Qi Ji said this, he started to sob again, unable to continue.
"No, we will definitely find it. Tomorrow, big brother will go with you to find it, okay?”Mo tenderly held his sister's head and let her lean on his shoulder.
Qi Ji cried in front of Mo's chest, his tears soaking Mo's clothes." He has a tall nose like my brother, straight like a mountain ridge. He's very handsome, and he plays the flute well…"
"Yes." Mo responded with tears all over her face.
"And his eyes, long and deep, unable to see through. I will never forget the way he looked at me. It was sad but very bright…"
" Mm…" Mo still responded gently.
"Also, his eyebrows are the kind of sword-shaped eyebrows that are handsome and sharp. He looked especially good when he smiled. His teeth were white and neat, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, like the first ray of sunshine in spring!”Qi Ji was crying and laughing. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or sad.
" Hehe…Then he must be a rare handsome man…Qi Ji has always had good taste…" Mo tried his best to pretend to be happy.
"Yes! Qi Ji liked him very much, even though she didn't have the time to tell him…It was a pity that she was going to marry another man.”A trace of regret flashed across Qi Ji's eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay. We'll definitely find him tomorrow. At that time, Qi Ji would have to say goodbye to him properly.”Mo consoled softly.
" Yes..." Qi Ji nodded obediently." But, I don't want to tell him that I like him. What if, what if he likes me too and I have to marry someone else? He will definitely be sad. I don't want to see him sad... Brother, if you see him tomorrow, don't tell him."”
" Okay, I'll listen to Qi Ji…" Mo patted her shoulder gently.
" I knew it. Only big brother treats Qi Ji well in this world…" Qi Ji coquettishly burrowed into Mo's embrace.
" Xiao Ji…" Mo hugged her, but his eyes were looking at the grassland outside the tent with endless worry.
It was so vast that standing alone in it made one feel despair. Life was lonely, all alone, with no one to rely on. It seemed that no one was immune to it. The eagle of the grassland had to learn how to fly by itself.
