"Yan, please help me! As long as I...I..." She seemed ashamed and couldn't say that sentence. She tightened her clothes with her hands and lowered her head, but she still finished the sentence. "As long as I become the emperor's man, he will never look at anyone else again."

"So..." She looked at him pleadingly, "Please, help me just this once."

Xiao Yuyan's face turned pale and he was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word at all.

I just kept repeating that sentence over and over again in my mind: "As long as I become the emperor's person..." Become the emperor's person...

His eyes were full of bitterness, and after a long while, he stiffened his neck and lowered his head, quietly looking at the woman who was looking at him pleadingly.

This woman was someone he had planned to protect since he was a child, but tonight, she told him that she wanted to be another man's, even if that man was the emperor. Her heartbreaking sadness made him feel like a joke.

Let him personally deliver his beloved woman to another person.

How could he do it?

But how could he bear to refuse her request?

He didn't even know what he was talking about, he just stared blankly at the woman in front of him, her watery eyes full of expectation.

Her cold hands were suddenly held tightly by a pair of weak, boneless hands. Her ears were stunned, but she still clearly heard her say: "Yan, please..."

After those words, he heard his own voice sounding like a dream: "...Okay, I'll help you."

…

In Huayin Palace.

Xiao Qi and Leng Yi didn't speak after Mu Yan'er left.

He just waited quietly, his eyes drifting behind the screen from time to time.

After about half a stick of incense, the maid serving Qing Jiu finally came out.

Seeing this, the two of them couldn't help but stand up straight and look behind her. First they saw a flash of flaming red, and then a small pink and jade face poked out from behind the palace maid and raised her eyebrows. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, revealing two pear dimples, his dark eyes were sparkling, and his satin-like black hair was wet and spread behind him, like an elf who had just emerged from the water.

Xiao Qi stared blankly at her eyes, which were as black as glass, as if they could suck people in.

His mind went blank, and he felt like he was being hit hard in the heart.

Just as he was about to step forward, Leng Yi beat him to it.

Leng Yi took a long step forward and picked up the little guy. Then he turned around and looked at Xiao Qi proudly, "Nephew, I'm sorry, uncle, my legs and feet are quite nimble."

"..." Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes and pursed his thin lips to remain silent.

The child leaned his little head on Leng Yi's shoulder and yawned, "Yi Yi, when can I go to bed? I'm so sleepy."

"Be good, I'll take you to bed now."

Sleep?

Qingjiu's chin was originally resting on his shoulder. When he heard these three words, he jerked downwards and the corners of his mouth twitched. Leng Yi, can you do more tricks? Still sleeping...sleeping...

Leng Yi was also aware of his tone, why did it sound weird?

I couldn't help but glance at her, you still dislike me, who influenced me? He is a ghost doctor, and now he is a full-time nanny, okay?

With a quick glance of his green eyes, he turned to Xiao Qi, hugging the little thing in his arms tightly like a protective calf, "Xiao Qi, little Li'er is sleepy." The subtext is: You can get out!

But Xiao Qi didn't seem to understand. He crossed his long legs and walked directly to the soft couch beside him and sat down. "Oh, really? Then let Li'er sleep."

"But how can Xiao Li'er sleep while you are here? Oh, right, Xiao Li'er."

He twitched the corners of his mouth mischievously, but raised his eyebrows at Qing Jiu in his last sentence.

The latter just covered his lips and yawned.

Little by little, my little head was about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi couldn't bear it, but Snake hadn't come back yet, how could he leave with peace of mind?

As if she had read his thoughts, Leng Yi's green eyes glanced at his face, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile with unknown meaning, "Xiao Qi, in fact, if you are really not sleepy, you can go to the palace for a walk.

, maybe we can find Huo'er."

As soon as he said these words, Xiao Qimo's eyes froze, then brightened.

He stood up suddenly. How could he forget that instead of just waiting here, why not go look for it?

If...if that fire snake really belongs to Snake, is it possible for her to go to that place?

His heart couldn't stop beating, but his stern face was calm. He walked over and looked at the child in Leng Yi's arms. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her soft hair. The touch under his fingers was extremely smooth.

Slippery and soft, it softened his heart.

He took a deep breath and said softly: "Li'er, I'll come see you tomorrow."

However, the child was so sleepy that she staggered around. Xiao Qi couldn't bear her suffering anymore, so he raised his eyes and looked at Leng Yi again, turned around and walked out of the dormitory.

Until his figure disappeared, Leng Yi did not take his eyes away.

After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the child in his arms.

I found that she had opened her eyes at some point, and her eyes were blank.

He smiled and said, "What? Still feeling distressed? Now that he's out, he's going to look for you all night?"

Qingjiu narrowed her eyes and said nothing.

He stretched out his soft white hands, stretched them out, pushed Leng Yi away, and jumped out of his arms.

"What does he care about me?"

"Tsk tsk, baby, you can't be so heartless. After all, he is doing it for you."

"Really? So what?"

Qing Jiu sneered, whether it was true or false, only Xiaoqi knew.

Back then, he acted so well, so how could she know he wasn't acting now?

If you believe it, you will never recover.

In this case, she will never believe it again.

The coldness in her eyes made Leng Yi startled. He shook his head, squatted down, and looked at her quietly with his green eyes, "Why are you like this?"

"Why bother?" Qing Jiu closed her eyes, "I don't know."

She didn't know why she was so persistent, but in so many years, she was tempted for the first time, but was deceived so completely. How could she accept it? His ruthlessness, his cruelty, dreaming back at midnight was like a nightmare,

She can't escape, she has been unable to escape for a long time...

Since we can't escape, let's go to hell together.

There was a coldness in her eyes, and she suddenly looked like a messenger from hell, heartless and heartless, making people chill with just one glance.

Leng Yi sighed and raised his hand to touch her head, but finally took it back.

"Although I don't know what happened between you and Xiao Qi, but as long as I'm still in this palace, at least I won't let him bully you."

"..."

His words made Qing Jiuyi startled, his brows furrowed and he said nothing.

"Don't doubt me. I'm harmless. Besides, you don't have anything I need, right?"

What on earth had this little thing gone through that could make her no longer trust anyone.

The news he got from his subordinates was that an identical fire snake appeared in the palace and disappeared silently. Later, he saw this talking fire snake in Xi Lingyue's mansion, so

, is she really the same fire snake as the original one?

Qing Jiu looked at him quietly, but said nothing.
