Chapter 390

Not long after ye Xiyue left Zhonggong, Qi xuyao also left through the back door.

He always held a jade pendant in the palm of his hand. When he was a child, the queen went to the temple to pray for him.

These years, the jade pendant has been with him, just as the queen is with him all the time!

He hurried to the east palace. Since his crown prince was abolished, the East Palace has been idle.

This time he returned to the palace and brought Qin Yi back.

Because they were poisoned, Qi xuyao was relieved.

Qin Yi's body was already weak. After he returned to the palace, he secretly placed people in another courtyard of the East Palace and went to Ziyang palace.

Just now he saw the queen lying in the coffin silently. I don't know why he suddenly thought of Qin Yi. His heart was like being held by an invisible hand. So as soon as ye Xiyue left, he hurried to avoid the eyes and ears in the palace and quietly came to the other courtyard of the East Palace.

"Your Highness..."

Qin Yi was surprised when she saw him. She thought it would take a long time to see him. Unexpectedly, he came back so soon.

While talking, she coughed again. Her face became more and more pale and weak, as if she would faint at any time.

Qi xuyao stepped forward and carefully held her to the soft collapse. The tall man squatted beside her and helped her take off her shoes.

Qin Yi looked at Qi xuyao squatting on the ground, so gentle that she couldn't remember what his royal highness was like.

Once upon a time, in her impression, the person in front of her was a prince who was high and out of reach. He always had a cold face, expressionless and cold determination. Is he really a person with this gentle, cautious and incredible person in front of her?

There was a faint confusion in her eyes. She stared at Qi xuyao. Her eyebrows were warm and her lips were slightly pursed. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Qi xuyao wrapped his palm around her cold foot and sat on the other side of the soft collapse. His black eyes were full of warmth. He looked at her for a moment and said, "Qin Yi, how's your body? Is it still very uncomfortable?"

Qin Yi didn't speak, but she didn't know what she thought. Her cold and clear face suddenly changed and her eyes looked calm. It seemed that there were rough waves in her eyes, like pouring ink, which was frightening.

Qi xuyao suddenly stretched out his hand, and the warm palm directly covered her beautiful eyes. His voice was low and dumb, "Qin Yi, don't show such eyes..."

Don't show such eyes. My heart hurts when I look at it

The unspoken words stuck in his throat. He didn't continue to speak, but his hand was still covering qinyi's eyes.

Qin clenched her hands tightly with her fingertips and slowly closed her eyes. Her voice was very light, almost whispered. She didn't listen carefully, and she couldn't even hear what she was saying.

"Your Highness, is it worth it for me?"

Qi xuyao doesn't care whether it's worth it or not. He gently hugs Qin Yi in his arms, "Qin Yi, this palace is for you, happy!"

It was so sweet, but the four simple words made Qin Yi almost cry.

"Your Highness, Qin Yi didn't mean to cheat you. The childe was kind to me. He let me get close to you. I... if it weren't for the childe, I really don't know where I would be and what it would be like now. Qin Yi didn't mean to hurt you, so... So don't be so kind to me. Your highness should want this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, not a woman like me!"

"Qin Yi, as far as I'm concerned, all I want now is you. I'm not rare. Since that person is kind to you, he is kind to our palace. What he asked you to do, you continue to do is that as long as you are safe, you and I will find a paradise. From now on, we will be dependent and never separate!"

Such a beautiful oath fell in her ear word by word. Qin Yi could hardly believe it was true.

Trembling, she stretched out her hand and hugged Qi xuyao. "Your Highness, do you want to hear my story?"

The past and the past are all sealed in the memory. Qin Yi thought she would never think of it again in her life, but now facing Qi xuyao, she suddenly wanted to tell him all her things.

"Well, I naturally want to know everything about you!"

With this sentence, the dusty memory suddenly returned to the counties and counties 13 years ago.

At that time, Qin Yi's mother had just died. A kind neighbor helped Qin Yi bury her mother. That day, she lost the closest person in the world.

She had nothing but ten Wen left. Her clothes were dirty and dilapidated, and her hair was withered and yellow. She looked no different from the little beggar on the street.

She felt very sleepy and leaned against the corner of the bed, but she didn't dare to close her eyes at all, because it was very cold, so cold that she was stiff and her lips were dark purple.

She was afraid that if she fell asleep, she would never wake up like her mother.

After a hard night, when I woke up the next day, my whole body was like a pendulum. My limbs were stiff and disobeyed.

Qin Yi shivered and climbed out of bed. She jumped on the ground for dozens of times before her body gradually warmed up.

It was only autumn when the bedding on the bed was broken and the black cotton was exposed, but she had no money to replace it and was hungry, but she was reluctant to spend the ten Wen money.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets at home for a long time, I didn't find anything valuable, but I found a gray paper kite on the top of the wooden cabinet.

Qin Yi took it down and wiped the dust off it with her sleeve. Only then did she see that it was a phoenix butterfly paper kite bought for her by her mother a long time ago.

She pinched the paper kite in her hand and suddenly wanted to put it up and watch it fly in the air, just like that time, the only time, when her mother was most pleasant to her.

So she foolishly dragged Zhiyuan out of the house and ran far away, trying to find a quiet place to put Zhiyuan away.

There was no wind. She kept pulling the line and running desperately, but Zhiyuan fell to the ground again and again. She ran faster and faster and fell several times. Zhiyuan finally flew up a little, but soon fell to the ground with a slap.

Qin Yi squatted on the ground. Her knee was skinned and exuded blood. It dropped on the paper kite on the ground and pasted a large piece of blood red.

She was about to wipe it, but a hand suddenly appeared behind her. A handkerchief pressed her mouth and nose. Her hands and feet fluttered for a while and fainted.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yi has an inexplicable attachment to Zhiyuan, and the first time she met Qi xuyao is also because of a flying Zhiyuan, just like it was destined!

"And then?"

Qin Yi's intermittent voice suddenly couldn't hear clearly. Qi xuyao asked eagerly, and the love in his eyes almost overflowed.

"After..."

She gently bit her lower lip and pulled out a self mocking smile from the corners of her lips.

"Then I fainted. When I woke up, I was locked up with many children. The girls were sold to brothels and the boys were sold to shepherds."

In a dark cubicle, there were several girls with bound hands and feet on the ground. Qin Yi sat in the corner of the wall. The broken skin on her knee was burning. She clenched her lower lip and didn't dare to say a word. Her body shrank into a ball and trembled.

"Someone will come and take you. Be obedient wherever you go. If you don't obey, you'll suffer a lot. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

The tall, strong man sat on a stool not far away, one foot tilted high, and a jar of burning knives was placed on the table in front of him, smelling of wine.

The children looked very thin and weak. According to their clothes, most of them were children from poor families. They were timid. No one would say a word when they saw a strong man like this.

At that time, they didn't know where they would be sold. They could only shrink up, either silent or sobbing.

After a while, someone knocked at the door.

The first came a middle-aged woman in a bright red dress. She covered her nose when she entered the door, and her greedy eyes swept over several children one by one.

"I said, these faces are like flower cats. Who knows what they look like!"

The big man looked at her and pointed to a bucket of water next to her. There was a cloth on the bucket pole that couldn't see the original color clearly.

The woman frowned fiercely, walked forward a few steps, picked up the cloth and dipped it in the bucket. Without stirring up the water, she wiped it on the face of the child nearest to her.

"Looks so ordinary... The quality of your goods is not very good this time!"

After wiping her face several times in a row, the girl looked very ordinary and fell into the kind that could not be distinguished in the crowd. She tutted her mouth in disgust, and the movements on her hands became more and more rude.

The water on the cloth trickled down the child's cheeks. Many people's clothes on their chest were wet, but they were stiff, afraid to move, and their bodies were shivering.

Qin Yi shrank in the corner. Her face was covered with a layer of ash and several black stains. She couldn't see the original appearance for a long time.

Vaguely felt that the woman's dress didn't look like a good person. She shrank her body more tightly and tried to reduce her sense of existence.

"Shit, don't be wordy. Hurry up. Someone will come later. It's good for you to choose first!"

The big man picked up the wine jar, took a big gulp, and scolded at the exit.

The woman's face suddenly became a little ugly, but the big man provided the most goods on weekdays, and several companies grabbed it. At this meeting, she also picked up a bargain to be the first to pick. She could only bear to yell at him.

She quickened her speed and soon came to Qin Yi. The rag in her hand was pressed on her face.

"The thin arms and thin legs are good, but the face doesn't know how..."

The words stuck in the throat. Qin Yi's face was wiped clean, revealing her original beautiful and charming face. Even if she was still young, she could see what kind of beauty she would be in the future.

"Oh, where did you get the beauty germ! I want this one. This one is enough!"

The woman excitedly took Qin Yi's hand and went to the man and put the silver spindle of her sleeve on the table. Her excitement could not be covered.

When the man saw the silver spindle, his eyes lit up and looked up at Qin Yi, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the dirty little thing was cleaned and looked so beautiful, but he always worked in principle. Even if the value of the goods exceeded the standard, he didn't let the woman give another penny.
