Chapter 1659 At This Moment, She Wants to Sink
Seeing this, Tong'er was shocked and angry, how dare they talk nonsense like that?
She raised her sleeves and wiped her tears, then walked back to Jier as if nothing had happened, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, and said softly: "Princess, some servants like to talk badly, and things that don't exist will be arranged to look like real ones." It’s the same as before, don’t worry about it, it’s getting late, go back to your room and take a shower, the general is still waiting for you in the study.”
"Yes." Jill replied, and followed her back to the room.
In the study, Chu Qi was dealing with military affairs.
Although Da Shang and Yan State have peaceful diplomatic relations and there is no war, there are still many things to deal with in the border town every day, and the defense cannot be slack.
Since Jier came to Xishuiguan, she would come to the study to accompany him every day.
When he was dealing with military affairs, she would read a book aside, so quiet that he would not be disturbed.
Sometimes when they get busy, even if the two of them don't say a word, she won't feel uncomfortable, and the next day, she will still be by his side as before.
Over the past few years, he has long been used to the clear lights and lonely shadows, and the loneliness, but since he has Jier's company, when he occasionally raises his eyes and sees the girl accompanying her silently, his hard heart will still be filled with warmth.
He is used to her company, and whenever he gets tired, as long as he sees her sitting there quietly, he can feel satisfied.
But tonight, Jill has not come over for a long time.
Chu Qi frowned unconsciously.
After processing another file, he finally couldn't help getting up and walking towards the door, but he happened to meet Tong'er who came in a hurry.
"Is something wrong with the princess?" He asked in a deep voice.
Tong'er said with a pale face: "General, something happened to the princess."
"What?" Chu Qi's heart sank.
...
When Chu Qi entered Jier's room, she was still bathing in the tub.
The water was cold, and she didn't notice it.
She didn't move her eyes until a shadow enveloped her.
Chu Qi wrapped her up in a blanket and carried her out of the bathtub.
Seeing that it was him, Jill leaned her head against his neck, rubbed it lightly, and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.
Seeing her like this, Chu Qi pursed her lips, feeling extremely painful.
He wanted to reprimand her for not torturing himself like this, but seeing her listless, he couldn't say anything.
Eventually, he tucks her under the covers.
Just as she was about to get up, she grabbed her sleeves tightly.
"Xiaoqi, don't leave me..."
Seeing the girl's fragile and dependent eyes, Chu Qi felt great pain in his heart, he reached out and touched her head, and said softly: "I'm not going anywhere, I just went to get a cloth towel to wipe your hair. "
Jill hesitated before letting go of his sleeve.
Chu Qi quickly fetched the cloth towel, sat down beside her, and let her head rest on his lap, so that he could wipe her hair conveniently.
After a long time, Jier suddenly said, "Xiaoqi, tell me, is what they said true?"
Chu Qi paused, "What?"
"They said, when I was born, my father wanted to throw... oh!"
The word death, before it could be said, was sealed by the man.
A tear fell from the corner of Jier's eyes, and she suddenly hugged Chu Qi's neck tightly, trying hard to draw warmth from him.
At this moment, she wanted to sink.
"Xiaoqi... you want me."
After a long time, her trembling voice came from her throat.
Chu Qi's dark eyes stared at her closely, because of forbearance, there was already a thin layer of sweat on his smooth forehead.
