The Moon Goddess had come to take her back to Xianyang, to the palace, to the place she could even dream of.
She felt that she should be happy.
He should be impatient.
She should have packed her things and left with Yueshen.
With Yueshen here, no one could hurt her. She could return to Xianyang and the palace safely.
However, she couldn't feel happy no matter what.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
She suddenly felt a little annoyed. She was annoyed with her wide and soft bed and annoyed with the room that was covered with furry carpets.
There was also that tall courtyard, the courtyard where one could only see the sky when they looked up.
There were no wolves howling at night, no mosquitoes at night, and no arms to rest on.
She didn't feel excited at all. She was even a little disappointed.
"What's wrong?"
Yueshen stood up and looked at her.
"You really don't want to go back?"
"Ah?"
Zhao Ji came back to her senses.
Her beautiful eyes moved and she forced a smile."No, how is that possible? You didn't come to find me earlier. You don't know that I want to go back even in my dreams!”
"Then let's go."
Yueshen didn't say a word and walked out.
Zhao Ji stood on the spot without moving.
Yueshen didn't even need to turn around to know that Zhao Ji wasn't following her.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Zhao Ji.
She knew Zhao Ji too well, just like how Zhao Ji knew her.
"I feel that since he saved me, as the Empress Dowager of the Qin country, I should at least say goodbye if I want to leave, right? If he left without a word, wouldn't he lose the Wang family's face?”
Zhao Ji felt that her excuse was still acceptable.
The Moon Goddess stared at her with her moon-like eyes."Does he know your identity?"
" No, no, no. I don't know." Concubine Zhao shook her head and said nervously," I…I didn't say that."”
Yueshen nodded. He wasn't lying.
Zhao Ji understood what the Moon Goddess meant.
Her identity could not be revealed. If anyone found out, they could only kill him.
The Moon Goddess…didn't have any emotions!
She had always been like this.
Zhao Ji was glad that she didn't tell Gao Jiu about her identity. Otherwise, even if she lied, she wouldn't be able to fool the Moon Goddess.
" I only have two hours," Yueshen said calmly." If he doesn't come back by then, I'll take you away."”
"Alright!" Zhao Ji heaved a sigh of relief.”
"However, get out. You're not allowed to stay here.”
Zhao Ji raised her head and pointed outside the door.
Yueshen looked at her, unmoved.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Ji raised her head a little higher and looked down at the Moon Goddess.
"Here!"
Yueshen disappeared from the courtyard like a wisp of smoke.
The sun was setting, and two hours were almost up.
Zhao Ji couldn't sit still in the courtyard. She paced back and forth, looking at the sun and then at the tightly shut courtyard door.
Gao Jiu carried a pheasant in his hand and walked back unsteadily.
Yueshen stood under a tree far away from the courtyard, the leaves rustling.
Gao Jiu looked at the woman who looked like an immortal.
He frowned.
This was a woman who should not be here, just like the vixen in the room.
Neither of them should belong here.
This woman was very beautiful and charming.
But at the same time, it was unfathomable.
As for which part of it was unfathomable…it could only be said that it was unfathomable.
Gao Jiu suddenly had a premonition.
The Moon Goddess also looked at him, then turned her head away.
At this age, he could only say that he was not bad.
She glanced at him because she knew that this was the person that Lady Zhao was waiting for.
Gao Jiu pushed open the courtyard door. Zhao Ji was waiting in the courtyard.
She had only waited for less than two hours, but she felt as if she had waited for a lifetime.
She saw that Gao Jiu had returned with a pheasant in his hand.
Suddenly, she didn't know what to say.
"Are you hungry? I'll go cook."
Gao Jiu looked at her and smiled.
"Alright," said Zhao Ji with a smile.
As usual, neither of them said anything else.
Gao Jiu was busy in the kitchen, giving her extra food. It was the same every day, thinking of ways to make different delicacies for her.
Previously, she had been sitting in the courtyard and would urge him from time to time.
As soon as she urged him, Gao Jiu quickened his movements.
But today, Gao Jiu did it very slowly.
Zhao Ji didn't rush her, even though she was really hungry.
Two hours had already passed, and the Moon Goddess had yet to rush him.
"Alright, hurry up and eat!"
Gao Jiu brought the dishes over and placed them on the stone table.
One meat, one vegetable, and one soup.
Two bowls of rice.
Compared to Xianyang Palace, it was a world of difference.
However, Concubine Zhao felt that these were much more delicious than the ones in Xianyang Palace.
She chewed and swallowed slowly.
After a long while, she put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"I…I'm full!"
She still didn't say that she was leaving and instead said that she was full.
Gao Jiu was still eating.”
Zhao Ji looked at him in a daze.
"You…you know?"
Gao Jiu suddenly stopped and thought for a moment before saying,"The next time it hurts, get the servants to prepare a hot towel and apply it on it. It will be better.”
"Alright!" Zhao Ji's lips trembled.
"Don't run barefoot at home. The cold air on the ground is not good for you.”
"Good!"
"Don't be picky. There are still many people who can't eat.”
"Good!"
"Take this rabbit with you. If you're hungry on the way, roast it.”
He knew that Zhao Ji didn't eat much today.
The serious white rabbit shivered in fear.
"Alright!" Zhao Ji picked up the rabbit.
"Yes, and…let me think, um…"
Gao Jiu was still thinking about it when his mouth was suddenly blocked by Zhao Ji.
Lips touching, cold!
Gao Jiu felt a little salty.
When their lips parted, he was the only one left at the table.
Zhao Ji walked out without looking back. She did not dare to stay any longer since she had no luggage to pack.
She was afraid that Gao Jiu would suddenly stop her and tell her not to leave.
She was even more afraid that she would be reluctant to leave.
But she had to leave. She couldn't stay here. She didn't belong here.
If he didn't leave now, he would only harm him.
The Moon Goddess…didn't have any emotions!
"Also, remember to miss me…" Gao Jiu's lips moved.
Don't be as emotionless as the Moon Goddess!
