"Me? They all call me a bastard and a slave, but I know that I have a nice name, Qiao An, safe." Qiao An looked at the sun outside with blurred eyes and said weakly.
Chi Xia paused when she heard these two words, then helped Qiao An up, and told Dong Zhi when she stopped her, "Go and call the doctor."
"No need, I've already sent the imperial doctors over." Jun Yan obviously noticed Chi Xia's little movements, looked at Qiao An thoughtfully, and then spoke.
Chi Xia looked at Qiao An, who had been taken over by the imperial doctor to start treatment, and silently walked aside and sat down hugging his knees.
She put her face between her arms and poked the system in her head.
[System, is this Qiao An her? 】
System: [Yes. 】
Chi Xia received a positive answer from the system and was silent for a while, [So did she end up like this because of me? 】 She should have suffered these things originally.
The system is puzzled: [Why does the host think so? Everyone has their own established track. Maybe you have fallen off the track accidentally, but sooner or later you will return to the track. Just like the host, you drink milk every morning, but one day you run out of milk and you have no choice but to drink it. Soy milk, but you can still drink milk the next day. 】
System: [So even if you, the host, made no mistake with Qiao An, Qiao An will still encounter this disaster in the future. 】
【I know. ] Chi Xia responded gloomily.
Who doesn't understand? Her reason tells her that this is normal, but her rationality tells her that these are the results of her actions.
Chi Xia adjusted her emotions, picked up the package placed on one side and stood up. Looking at Jun Yan and others who had specially left some space for themselves to relax, the slightly frowned brows relaxed, and the depression in her heart also dissipated a bit.
[I didn’t expect the tyrant to be quite humane. 】
Although Jun Yan was used to her complaining about him anytime and anywhere, he still didn't understand why she became a tyrant in her mouth.
He was diligent and thrifty and loved the people. Although he was a bit bloodthirsty, he only killed people who deserved to be killed and never killed heroes.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to the palace now?" Chi Xia looked at him eagerly while holding the package.
Jun Yan looked at Chi Xia's eyes in amusement with the obvious expression of not wanting to return to the palace. He pretended to ponder for a moment, looking at her anxious look, and his tone was delicate, as if he was whispering in her ear.
"Madam can go back whenever she wants. It all depends on Madam."
【Hihahahaha! Oh my god! ! So foul! How could the tyrant beauty be so foul! 】
The tips of Chi Xia's ears were slightly red, and she gently held his strong wrist bones, looking at him with bright eyes, thinking confidently in her heart.
[I am your concubine anyway, so it’s not too much to touch me! Hey Hey! 】
Jun Yan: "..." He is becoming more and more courageous.
Baoquan and Dongzhi listened to Chi Xia's obscene laughter and pretended to be deaf and dumb, fearing that they would laugh out loud without noticing.
"Where do you want to go, madam?" Jun Yan asked while sitting in the carriage.
Chi Xia pursed her lips and shook her head, "Let's go for a walk outside the city."
She raised the curtain and watched silently all the way, and finally stopped at the edge of a forest with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
"Your Majesty, I want to go for a walk alone." Chi Xia got out of the carriage with the clothes she had bought and the gadgets she bought along the way, and looked at him seriously.
Jun Yan stared at her retreating back, paused for a while and raised his legs to follow her. He waved to Baoquan and others who also wanted to follow, and said, "You guys wait here."
Dongzhi looked at Baoquan's cheerful look and asked doubtfully: "Eunuch Bao, what makes you so happy?"
Baoquan glanced at her sideways and snorted arrogantly, "You little girl, you don't understand! Your Majesty can't live without your empress for a moment!"
Chi Xia walked through the muddy path, zigzagging around the messy jungle, and finally stopped at a stream that no one had ever walked before.
She sat down on the ground, took out a piece of ash wood bought at the lumber store from the bag she was carrying, and took the carving knife given by the store in her hand to carve on the wooden sign while talking nonchalantly.
"It's your birthday in a few days, and I don't know when I can leave the palace again, so I took advantage of today to go out and buy you your favorite clothes and some gadgets. , it’s right there, I’ll bury it for you later.”
"Although you have had ups and downs in your life, you have still passed it by. I thought you would be rewarded after all the hardships, but unexpectedly you fell victim to the love between the male and female protagonist. I don't know if you can hear it, but I think you don't want to suffer. It’s at the mercy of the plot.”
"I took over your body and survived, but I hope you can live a good life in another world, stop being so tired, and make plans for yourself."
Chi Xia buried the things she brought, looked deeply at the wooden sign that was erected, raised her red lips, and said in a clear and soft voice, "Happy birthday!"
A breeze blew across her cheek, as if in response.
She curved her lips and waved towards the wooden sign, "I'll see you again when I have time."
Not long after Chi Xia left, Jun Yan walked out from the other side. He silently placed the jade ring he had been wearing on the small mound of soil, said thank you in a low voice, and then turned and left.
The standing wooden sign faced the creek, with four characters engraved on it in simplified Chinese: Tomb of Chi Xia.
The sun had already set by the time Jun Yan and others returned to the palace. When Chi Xia came out of the shower, she saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the soft couch where she usually lay.
"Your Majesty." Chi Xia walked up to Jun Yan and saluted.
"Well, sit down!" Jun Yan nodded, his face was clear and cold, showing a faint sense of majesty.
Chi Xia sat next to him and looked at him, his eyes bright.
[Why don’t you, tyrant, ask me why I know that the Salesian Bureau has done such dirty things? This makes me look stupid! 】
[Ask me, ask me! 】
Jun Yan had no choice but to follow her lead and ask, "How did my concubine know about the private affairs of the Salesian Bureau?"
[Hey, hey, it’s coming. 】
Chi Xia took out a crumpled piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to him, with a proud tone, "Didn't I go to buy candied haws at that time? After I finished buying and was about to leave, Qiao An bumped into my concubine. He stuffed things into my concubine’s arms.”
[This also caused my candied haws to be bitten every year! ! ! 】
Jun Yan couldn't help but have a narrow smile on his face, but when she looked over, he regained the majesty of the emperor.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the note, then moved his eyes to Chi Xia, and said in a light voice, "My concubine has done some good work in exposing the Salesian Bureau. Tell me what reward you want, my concubine."
Chi Xia: "!!!"
[You have to think carefully now! 】
"I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to leave the palace at will." Her eyes were clear and clean, as bright as stars, and she looked well-behaved, with a hint of expectation.
