Chapter 158: Unshirkable Responsibility
Listening to Jun Dire's footsteps leaving, Bai Aoxue quietly opened her eyes, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes squinted lazily, but her cheeks were red.
Thinking of Jun Dire's infinitely loving kiss just now, Bai Aoxue's cheeks turned red again.
"Ahem..."An embarrassing cough sounded, making Bai Aoxue's body stunned.
Bai Aoxue looked up and saw the treacherous appearance of Kapok and Red Sleeves, while Wen Xi shyly glanced at Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue sighed in her heart, could it be that she and Jun Dire just now... It was seen by the three of them?!?
"Hmph! Kapok's monthly money this month belongs to me!" Red Sleeves said excitedly.
And Kapok and Wenxi were too late to stop her.
As soon as Bai Aoxue heard Red Sleeves' words, she also guessed in her heart that these two people were probably betting on themselves again, but she still asked quietly: "Red Sleeves, why do you want to give you the monthly money of Kapok?"
Red Sleeves is in the excitement at the moment, it is not easy to win Kapok once, how can she not be happy!
No matter who was asking, Red Sleeves happily replied: "Of course Kapok lost the bet with me! If you lose, you will give me the monthly money!"
"Oh... So can you tell me, what kind of bet did you make?" Bai Aoxue squinted her phoenix eyes and glanced at the smiling Kapok lightly.
And when Kapok received Bai Aoxue's eyes, her heart trembled fiercely! Then she glared at the excited Red Sleeves viciously, even if she was to be punished, she would pull the Red Sleeves together!
Who made her so careless, but the young lady knew that they bet!
"I bet with Kapok that the prince will not be the princess! I bet that the prince will definitely be the princess! But Kapok said that the princess will not let the princess!" said Red Sleeves with great interest.
Bai Aoxue listened with interest, hooked her lips and smiled, but this smile was terrifying in the eyes of Kapok and Wen Xi.
"Red Sleeves... Are you happy to win?" Bai Aoxue asked lightly, leaning on the edge of the bed, with a hint of charm in her elegance.
"I'm happy! I've finally won Kapok, how can I not be happy! Huh, princess..."Red Sleeves replied to Bai Aoxue's words, and just halfway through speaking, looking at Kapok's bitter face, he woke up in an instant, and looked at Bai Aoxue with a pale face.
Bai Aoxue smiled lightly when she saw the red sleeves like this, but of course there was a cruel smile in the eyes of the red sleeves.
"Ahh The slave maid told the kitchen that they should stew some tonic soup for the princess, and now it should have been boiled, and the slave and maid have retired!"
Without waiting for Bai Aoxue to reply, after making a hurried salute, the person quickly ran out of the back room.
Red sleeves' action can be said to be done in one go, so that Kapok and Wenxi have no time to react.
It wasn't until the figure of the red sleeves disappeared that Kapok reacted.
"Well.... Miss, I still have some things..."Kapok looked at Bai Aoxue and said, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Bai Aoxue smiled lightly and said, "If you still have something to do, let's go and get busy, Wen Xi is here to accompany me." ”
As soon as Kapok heard Bai Aoxue's words, it was like an amnesty, and he jokingly bet on her young lady, it was simply looking for death, but it was also known by her young lady, how could it be possible if she didn't escape!
"But... You and Red Sleeves have no money this month, next month, and next month, and my person has been violated by you, which is a natural compensation. If there is a next time, it will not be so simple. Kapok, who was just about to leave, had just crossed the threshold when he heard Bai Aoxue's cool voice.
There was a faint threat in his words, so that all the words that Kapok wanted to refute were held in his heart!
Forget it! This time she confessed! Who let her have a teammate like a pig!
Thinking of it, Kapok took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Bai Aoxue with teary eyes: "Miss Yingming, Kapok went down first!"
Bai Aoxue held back a smile and waved at Kapok.
Kapok couldn't wait to leave Bai Aoxue's courtyard and followed the direction of Red Sleeves all the way.
Wen Xi saw that Kapok also left, and looked at the two of them like this, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly and smile.
"Wen Xi, you know that after the fifteenth, I will go south to Nanyue, this time I will go, I don't plan to take you there. Bai Aoxue looked at Wen Xi and slowly said what she thought in her heart.
Wen Xi listened to Bai Aoxue's words, turned his head to look at Bai Aoxue, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"This time I went south to Nanyue, it must be more auspicious and less auspicious, and you will also suffer a lot with me, this time I don't want you to take your life! You will stay in the palace and wait for us to come back. Bai Aoxue said softly.
In fact, she had long thought that marrying Jun Dire was this dangerous choice, Red Sleeves and Wenxi still had the ability to protect themselves, but Kapok was different, Kapok grew up with her since she was a child, although she was bullied in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't understand that people in this world were sinister.
I'm afraid that if I keep following her like this, I will be hurt, she has always hoped that Kapok can live a better life, and she doesn't have to live a frightened life with her.
Now that she is in a dangerous whirlpool, she categorically does not want the three of Kapok to follow her into danger. The poison on Jun Dire's body can attack at any time.
She couldn't guarantee that the next time she had an attack, she would be able to wake up Dire with such a small sacrifice.
There are too many unstable factors on the road in the future, and she really doesn't want Kapok and a few people to follow her into danger!
Of course, Wen Xi also guessed some of Bai Aoxue's thoughts, if it was other requests, she would definitely accept them without complaint, but this time she would definitely not obey Bai Aoxue's orders!
"Miss, we said at that time, following you is your sword, where you point, we will use our own blades to slash there, we are your backing and your sharpest weapon!" Wen Xi shook his head slowly, and said with a firm look at Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue listened to Wen Xi's words, and didn't know how to refute for a while, but her heart was very warm.
Maybe... That's what it really means to never give up.
"Miss said to Wen Xi at this moment, Wen Xi will not agree, I believe that Red Sleeves and Kapok will not agree, although Red Sleeves looks heartless, but she knows who the person she is following is, not to mention Kapok, our Miss understands that if you are worried about our comfort and abandon us like this, then what is the meaning of our existence for Miss?!" Wen Xi looked at Bai Aoxue with some excitement and said.
A pair of eyes that are always plain and quiet, but at the moment they are dyed with a trace of tears.
Bai Aoxue didn't expect Wen Xi to be so excited, thinking that they really planned to follow her to the death.
Originally, I only thought about the current situation, and I was too worried about their comfort, but I didn't take into account their thoughts.
Bai Aoxue sighed softly, it seemed that she was not thoughtful.
Wen Xi saw Bai Aoxue sighing, a little anxious, worried about whether she would be too excited, but these were all thoughts in her heart, she just didn't want to see Bai Aoxue bear so much alone, and she didn't want her to bear everyone's responsibilities alone.
"Yes, I see. Originally, I just didn't want you to follow me into danger, but I didn't take into account your thoughts, I'm sorry. Bai Aoxue hooked her lips and smiled.
Wen Xi listened to Bai Aoxue's words, shook his head fiercely and said: "We follow Miss in our hearts, we don't have any purpose, if we really have a purpose, we just want to help Miss share some responsibilities." Miss didn't say anything, but we all know you're very lucky!"
When Bai Aoxue heard Wen Xi's words, her heart was shocked. She had been hiding it so well that she thought no one would find out.
In the past, Bai Aoxue wandered alone in this red dust without any worries, living wantonly and freely. But now Bai Aoxue has too many burdens on her shoulders to carry and bear.
Ye Zhaojue's expectations and hopes for her, the poison on Jun Nightre's body, the happiness of Kapok and several people, Helian Cangyue's last wish, Mo Li's future and Mo Qing's future, Cangsheng's burden, all of these things were taken by her invisibly and on her own initiative.
How she leaves it behind, how to give it up, even if the road ahead is bumpy, she must carry these hopes without shirking her responsibilities and go down step by step!
"Wenxi, thank you. So follow me and go on without looking back. I can't promise you in the future, but I dare to swear that with my Bai Aoxue taking a sip of water, there will be no shortage of yours, and with my Bai Aoxue taking a bite of food, you won't be hungry!" Bai Aoxue's eyes burned, and she looked at Wen Xi and said.
This is her commitment, the firmest, the most serious.
And Wen Xi listened to Bai Aoxue's words, and he was also very happy in his heart.
Nodding vigorously, I was afraid that Bai Aoxue would regret it.
"Okay, I'll rest for a while. Go about your own business, too. Bai Aoxue rubbed her eyebrows sleepily and said softly.
When Wen Xi heard this, he walked quickly to the edge of Bai Aoxue's bed, and helped Bai Aoxue to slowly settle Bai Aoxue.
"Miss, I'll just wait outside, and if there's anything you call me. Wen Xi said without allowing Bai Aoxue to refuse.
Bai Aoxue looked at the insistence in Wen Xi's eyes, so she didn't say much, and nodded slowly.
Then he closed his eyes and rested.
And here, the Dire is also arranging everything tightly.
"Cao, this act is to ensure Ah Xue's safety, I need to be foolproof, you will recall the Shadow Ten and follow us in disguise. Jun Dire's handsome brow furrowed.
After listening to Jun Dire's words, he also knew that there was too much instability and danger in this trip, so he nodded and waited for Jun Dire to give another order.
"The people in Nanyue asked them to pay close attention to Qi Liange's movements, so that Zhaoye secretly had a good relationship with all the ministers of the DPRK and China, and saw which ones could be used by me. Jun Dire remembered Jun Wuji's purpose and said fiercely again.
"Master... Are you going to do it?" asked Cao with some hesitation.
Jun Dire listened to Cao's question, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
After a brief silence, Jun Dire spoke again: "Hmph! When I return from Nanyue, it will be the time for Jun Wuxian to abdicate!
