Chapter 162: Meet Again

After Mao Ziyi was injured, Hui Xiuyuan found a reason to exempt him from daily patrols and let him recuperate in the house.

But after a long time of such isolation, he couldn't help but feel a lot more bored. In order to see Hui Xiuyuan as soon as possible, as soon as his injury was healed, he returned to work.

On this day, Mao Ziyi had just finished patrolling outside the Linhua Palace, when he suddenly heard a call behind him: "Brother Guard!" โ€

He turned around and saw a woman dressed as a palace maid standing not far behind him. He politely asked, "Is there anything wrong with the girl?" โ€

When Bao Qin saw his face clearly, his heart immediately blossomed, and he was much more handsome than he looked at at night.

As soon as she remembered the act of saving her that night, she felt her heart pound, and she was about to burst out of her throat.

She asked with a shy face, "Brother Guard, don't you remember me?" โ€

After Mao Ziyi looked her up and down, he didn't search for anyone in his mind. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not very clever in my brain, don't be surprised by the girl, and ask the girl to make it clear." โ€

Bao Qin looked at his appearance and thought it was very cute, and couldn't help but laugh.

"There was a fire in the Hall of Eternal Life that night," she reminded in a whisper, "and you saved me." โ€

Mao Ziyi took a closer look at her again, although he didn't see the woman's face clearly that night, but now she really felt a little familiar when she reminded her.

He suddenly realized: "It turned out to be you, a girl!" โ€

Bao Qin giggled and replied, "It's me." โ€

She looked at Mao Ziyi's back and asked with some concern, "Did the guard brother hurt that night?" Is the injury healed now? โ€

Mao Ziyi touched his back and called her this, and the wound seemed to have a faint pain. "It's all good now, you don't have to worry."

"That'll be fine." Bao Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "The eldest brother of the guard left in a hurry that day, and the little girl didn't have time to ask the name of the benefactor and the place on duty, these days I am really uneasy. โ€

Mao Ziyi looked at Baoqin's burning gaze, his heart trembled, and he turned his head to avoid with a dry smile. "I have rough skin and thick meat, and this injury is not tight, and the tired girl will remember it."

Seeing that he was so distant from him, Baoqin couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, but he still smiled lightly on his face: "Brother Guard, don't call me girl, the little girl's name is Baoqin, and Brother Guard will call me by my name." โ€

When Mao Ziyi heard her name, his heart jumped, and then he thought of the fire that day when she escaped from the Yongshou Palace, and he already knew her identity.

Bao Qin glanced at his expression and asked cautiously, "Isn't it the name of the guard's eldest brother?" โ€

Mao Ziyi bowed his hand and said politely: "Under Mao Ziyi." โ€

"Mao Ziyi." Bao Qin whispered the name softly, and a sweet smile couldn't help but jump on her pretty face.

She raised her eyes and said with some expectation: "Then I can call you Brother Mao, is it feasible?" โ€

Mao Ziyi looked at the light shining in her eyes, and naturally knew her feelings for herself in her heart. He said politely and distantly, "The girl's name is." โ€

Baoqin was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Brother Mao on an errand?" โ€

Mao Ziyi's expression was slightly shocked, if she truthfully told her identity, would it bring disaster to Hui Xiuyuan. He pondered for a while, then said lightly, "I'm patrolling around here. โ€

Baoqin glanced around, this is near the Linhua Palace. If my own mother was still living in the Yongshou Palace, it would not be too far. It's just that now I'm walking here from the Qingliang Palace, I'm afraid it's ...

Thinking of this, she sighed faintly.

Mao Ziyi arched his hand and said: "Girl, if you still have to patrol below, first..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Baoqin say "Ah! โ€

Mao Ziyi was stunned, looked up at Baoqin, and saw her staring straight at her arm. He followed her line of sight, only to see a cut in his cuff.

Baoqin looked at the opening, took out the needle and thread from his arms, and said cautiously: "Brother Mao, let me sew it for you, and you can go on patrol again." โ€

Mao Ziyi was also not easy to say, his arm leaned forward and turned his head to the other side. "There's Miss Lao."

Bao Qin's fingers trembled slightly and grabbed his sleeve, and his heart was like a deer crashing.

She stabilized her mind and said coquettishly: "Brother Mao's words are serious, this is just a trivial matter. Brother Mao's kindness to save me can't be repaid even if I promise it personally. โ€

She felt her face burn red, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Mao Ziyi couldn't help but be startled when he saw her say it so bluntly. He coughed dryly, "The girl has a needle and thread on her at all times." โ€

Bao Qin heard that he was deliberately changing the topic, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. She peeked at his handsome face and whispered back, "Slaves like us should serve our masters well, and prepare needles and threads just in case." โ€

After saying that, she got the job in her hands done. She leaned over to bite off the thread, looked up and smiled a little proudly: "Brother Mao has sewn it, you see." โ€

Mao Ziyi was startled by her sudden leaning over, it was the first time he had seen such an active girl since he grew up, and he really didn't know what to do.

"Okay... Goodยทยท Very good. He stumbled for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence.

Bao Qin naturally didn't miss the look on his face, and then listened to his stumbling words, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

If he saved her that day, she would be grateful and admired for him in her heart. When I met him again today, these emotions were all transformed into admiration and love for him.

"Brother Mao, it's not too early, I should go back early." She lowered her head and smiled sheepishly, "We'll see you next time!" โ€

With that, she turned and ran briskly in the other direction.

Mao Ziyi was stunned for a while, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to save her that day.

Baoqin stopped slowly, turned her head with a smile and hesitated, only to see that the original position was long gone.

She looked at the road without people with some loss, sighed, and slowly turned her head.

From his words and actions just now, she could clearly feel that he had no special affection for her. Even she was a person he didn't remember in his heart.

Baoqin pulled the handkerchief on her hand, her face full of unwillingness. She comforted herself: "It's okay! He's definitely remembering me now! โ€

She nodded vigorously, a satisfied smile on her face.

It's not too early to see the sun, she has to go back quickly, otherwise the virtuous concubine will not be able to explain, she sped up her steps.
