Xi Zien sat in the living room of Li Jicai's house, stretched out his hand and closed the door, blocking the cool breeze outside and the night, and I calmed down when the lights were blown and swayed.

You can faintly hear the sound of firecrackers exploding, one after another, and it is very lively.

Qi Qingchu leaned against the table, and had no intention of speaking, just watched coldly.

Li Jiye helped Li Jicai sit at the table, and when he reached out to pour tea, he remembered that the water in the teapot had already been cold.

Why don't he go to the kettle tea first?

As if he had a heart, Xi Zien closed the door and walked back, and then said to Li Jiye: "You go to the kettle to make hot tea first, warm up your body, go." ”

Li Jiye's eyes fell on Li Jicai's body, and the other party just looked lost and ignored people.

"Okay, my lord, just wait here, and you'll be right away." For these two Li Jiye, who were too many higher in rank than himself, he didn't dare to offend, at least in the territory of Chu State.

Qi Qingchu looked at Li Jiye quietly, and said in his heart that he was really calm, and he didn't act out of the ordinary at all, perhaps, he was very confident that his identity had not been exposed.

After Xi Zien waited for Li Jicai to leave, he sat down next to Li Jicai and reached out to touch her head.

But halfway through and then retracted, such an action is a bit ambiguous and has a bad impact.

"I said, 'Boss' lady, what's wrong with you? Is that your enemy? Xi Zien couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, he desperately wanted to know what happened between Li Jicai and the man.

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Jicai's neck, watching her torn apart collar and revealing the inside......

With a "snap", something fell from somewhere, and it was thrown away, and Xi Zien suddenly subconsciously looked down.

Immediately, Qi Qingchu came over, "carried" him to the side, and then occupied her place by himself.

Xi Zien was a little dissatisfied, and he wanted to continue to comfort and comfort Li Jicai.

"What are you doing, I haven't finished asking yet!" Xi Zien said with some dissatisfaction.

"Do you think people want to deal with you?"

“……”

Li Jicai sat there motionless, and from the time Li Jicai helped her in, she sat there with her head bowed and didn't move.

"Cai'er, you say, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely help if I can."

"......" Li Jicai ignored him, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation on his face.

Xi Zien didn't give up, and still wanted to lean over, but was blocked by Qi Qingchu.

"I said you, don't stand in my way, I told her for a while and she ignored me, now she is scared to know, she needs my comfort."

Xi Zien is very confident, if a woman showed such an expression in the past, there must be something that can't be done.

Qi Qingchu raised her eyebrows...

When Xi Zien wanted to say something more, Li Jicai spoke.

"Enemy, I don't want to see you a second time." It's kind of an explanation of this matter.

"Are you alright?" Qi Qingchu said.

Li Jicai shook her head, still not raising her head, she didn't want to see anyone's face.

Xi Zien was a little surprised, he didn't expect Qi Qingchu to take the initiative to care about people, it's really fake.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again, no one spoke, no one knew what to say.

The three people with different minds were so silent and deadlocked. Until Li Jiye brought the teapot up.

Tonight was supposed to be a festive day, and if it had been according to the plan, it would have been a moment when we were already eating meat and drinking wine and chatting freely.

However, the reality is so cruel.

Everyone was waiting, and everyone didn't seem to be waiting.

Li Jicai originally planned to cook a table of delicious dishes, but now where can she still think of this?

The awkward atmosphere made her just want to push out all the three people who were embarrassed in front of her.

She wanted to be alone.

Everyone's eyes fell on her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But how do you open your mouth and send them away?

"Gollum, Gollum."

Someone's stomach rings.

Xi Zien covered his stomach for the first time, he didn't want to say that he deliberately ate very little at noon, just to eat more at Li Jicai's place at night.

But soon, he reacted, and the sound was not coming from his stomach, but someone else.

Li Jiye's embarrassed face turned red, he had accompanied Li Jicai to go shopping for so long today, and he really didn't eat anything.

It is also normal for the stomach to bark.

"I'm hungry, so I'll go get something to eat." Li Jicai, who couldn't find an excuse to leave this oppressive and dull space, bounced up directly from the stool.

When I was about to go out, my knees weakened and I couldn't help but fall to the ground.

Qi Qingchu's eyes were quick, and he firmly grabbed her arm, not letting her continue to sink.

Li Jicai hurriedly waved his hand away, then turned around and leaned on the table, the silk cloth on the table was scratched and crumpled.

Li Jicai hurriedly sent it again, carefully dusting it and smoothing it out.

Perhaps, at this moment, everyone's communication has been hindered.

"Or, let's go out and buy some food and bring it back, you don't need to do it, it just so happens that there is a restaurant near here that has just opened, and it is said that the food tastes good, Li Jiye, you go with me."

Xi Zien decided to be the one to break the ice herself.

He looked at Qi Qingchu and Li Jicai, and always felt that these two were not simple, did they have something to say.

Is it to create an opportunity for them?

Li Jiye was a little inexplicable, just go out to buy some food, why bother him? The official university crushes people to death, and he has to keep up with the farts when he buys something, which is bitter.

Hey, forget it, maybe Li Jicai doesn't want to say it to them, maybe he wants to say it to Qi Qingchu.

After all, she is a forgetful person.

Qi Qingchu saw Xi Zien say this, frowned and glanced at him, just wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he endured it.

If he refuses outright, will it seem too deliberate?

Since Li Jicai was not in a hurry to refuse, then why should he?

He's going to hold it.

Li Jicai's heart trembled slightly when Xi Zien's proposal was said, his fingertips unconsciously sank into his palm, and his breathing became a little short.

But because she still kept her head down, her hair was scattered on her shoulders and ears, covering her panicked and embarrassed face.

The place where Qi Qingchu touched her arm when she grabbed her just now was burning hot.

If, if she continues like this, she is afraid that she will not be able to hide her feelings.

Soon, the sound of the door being pushed open and closed was heard, which was particularly evident against the background of the noisy firecrackers.

The room was quiet, and only Li Jicai and Qi Qingchu were left.

Li Jicai never dared to face Qi Qingchu head-on, in fact, thinking about this matter had nothing to do with him, he just didn't want to be seen by him.

"How long are you going to keep your head down like this?"

"......" Li Jicai opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Qi Qingchu himself is not a person who talks a lot, but he took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"You are the maid of the Jiang family, it's a fact, he once abused you and threw you on the mass grave, but you climbed down from the mass grave and survived, and it is very unexpected to think of it again again."

Qi Qingchu suddenly realized that he was deliberately provoking Li Jicai.

"Lord Qi is really flattered that he really investigated me carefully." Li Jicai said in an ironic tone.

Obviously, she never mentioned this past to anyone, but she didn't know what means Qi Qingchu used, and she actually knew her past clearly.

Li Jicai suddenly became a little annoyed, and his tone became not very good, so he raised his head directly to look at him.

Between this look, Qi Qingchu saw clearly the terrible scar on Li Jicai's neck.

Jiang Li pinched her with all his strength, and the wound was very dazzling.

"Does it hurt?" Qi Qingchu suddenly said another word of concern for her.

Li Jicai was suddenly a little confused, is this person singing, one set of face after another.

"It doesn't hurt, I'm used to it."

When the beaten bones were visible, Qi Qingchu didn't know where they were.

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Escape. "Even if the capital city is good, Li Jicai will not want to stay here any longer.

suddenly remembered what Li Jiye said to her.

So Li Jicai, who was defenseless, added another sentence.

"My brother is developed, saying that there is a better opportunity in the field, and he may take me with him, if he really goes out and has the opportunity to return to the capital, I will definitely come to visit Lord Qi."

When Qi Qingchu heard this, he instantly turned around and stared at her, staring at her eyes.

"What? You repeat! "Li Jiye is leaving the capital?

"yes, yes, what's the problem? Or is it because the adults are reluctant to let me go? Li Jicai was panicked by Qi Qingchu's somewhat urgent tone.

She didn't know why Qi Qingchu reacted like this, could it be that he didn't want her to go?

Will it be...... Can't bear her?

"Li Jiye asked me if I would go with him if there was a better opportunity, and I replied of course I would." Although Li Jicai didn't know whether what Li Jiye said was true or false.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, even if Li Jiye doesn't take her out, she herself will have to run outside to hide for a while.

Jiang Li would not let her go.

Before leaving, his eyes told Li Jicai that Jiang Li would definitely not let her go so easily.

For nightmarish existences, it is natural to hide as far away as possible.

There are probably more terrifying people in this world than Jiang Li.

But no one can compare to the deeper and indelible scars that Jiang Li brought to Li Jicai's soul.

If there is, it must have hurt him to the bone, to the extreme.

Qi Qingchu's face suddenly became serious, he didn't expect to be able to accidentally learn about Li Jiye's plan from Li Jicai's mouth.

It turned out that he had already had the intention of absconding.

Then, it's time for him to report to His Majesty whether he wants to arrest and lock up Li Jiye.

In fact, what made Qi Qingchu most curious about the whole thing was how the other party knew about Li Jiye's existence.

But the strange thing is that he can't find it no matter how he checks, as if there is a big hand faintly controlling something around him.

Obviously, he had completely erased all traces of his activities.

Paper can't contain fire, Qi Qingchu has repeatedly told Emperor Gao De.

Sooner or later, one day, Li Jiye's existence will be discovered.

Unless you directly solve Li Jiye and let him completely disappear from this world.

However, His Majesty always put it on hold on the grounds that it was not the right time, and it was not until the civil strife in the palace of Yan Kingdom calmed down that he had the idea of using Li Jiye as a bargaining chip.

But the other party has already done it, before they know it.

Right now, Li Jiye has already been in contact with the people of Yan Kingdom.

Li Jicai also informed him that Li Jiye had plans to leave.

Then, it is even more unlikely that he will let them go.

Li Jicai looked at Qi Qingchu's face gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know if he had said something wrong.

"Lord Qi doesn't have to mind, an acquaintance is also fate, in the future, if you have the opportunity to return to the capital, maybe it will be when Lord Qi gets married and has children." Li Jicai smiled awkwardly.

But suddenly she thought, how could Qi Qingchu know so much about her?

The head was beaten and seemed to be a little messy.

"No, Lord Qi, why are you investigating my past? Don't you even know what others don't know, don't you know that this is a violation of people's privacy? ”

Talking to the ancients about privacy, Li Jicai is afraid that there is something wrong with it.

"The right to privacy? What is it. ”

“…… That is, everyone has their own secrets, and others are not allowed to explore other people's secrets at will. ”

"Why? If this person is suspected of endangering the country and the people, can't he be investigated? ”

"Dangerous country and dangerous people? This high hat is buttoned, does my little woman look like a person who has brought disaster to the country and the people? ”

"Don't think about it if you have nothing to do." Qi Qingchu threw her a word, in fact, now is the time for him to worry.

He wanted to know if he should immediately notify Ruomi outside, immediately mobilized manpower, and then surrounded the courtyard, not allowing any strangers to approach.

After all, he had an immediate feeling as if he was threatened in some way.

Sometimes intuition is also a very scary thing, inexplicable, unclear.

The most terrifying thing is that for so long, Qi Qingchu's intuition has never missed.

"Qi Qingchu, I said, it's really hard for you to do it, I found that you are the most difficult person I know to get along with, and the most difficult to approach, you can occasionally smile more and get closer, after all, you are so good-looking, you have a straight face all day long, how bad."

Li Jicai boldly called Qi Qingchu's name, and she found that by talking to Qi Qingchu, she could relieve her nervousness and temporarily ignore the bad things that happened before.

At least she doesn't want to be alone now, and it's okay to talk nonsense, but her throat is a little uncomfortable and a little dizzy.

"If it's okay, I still have official business to deal with, so I won't stay here longer, just go back and say it when they come back."
