Living for 23 years, Ji Heng never thought he would ever be able to covet a eunuch.
In fact, he did not like this group of servants because of the shadow left by this institution in his youth. Of course, his lifestyle required that group of servants to take care of him. In most cases, he did not have to worry about daily activities, so much so that even intimate things were handled by eunuchs. But he had never been able to trust them completely. There had always been between them a sort of thin and tenacious barrier that he could not break.
Was Tian Qi different from them?
He did not look different. If he spoke seriously, Tian Qi was not a type of servant that Ji Heng wanted. In Ji Heng's eyes, an ideal servant was someone like Sheng'An Huai. Only need a meaningful glance and understood his intention, while he always knew his place and did not exceed the prescribed limits.
As for Tian Qi, ne? Twice every three days he had an accident or problems. His personality made people bite. But he could still find ways to escape safely.
twice every three days - idiom = frequently, almost every day
itchy teeth - idiom = irritant
This servant was intelligent from head to toe. He should hate this kind of person and find him boring, but his intelligence was between great wisdom and great knowledge and a little wise. It is not the type of sharp but mean that disgusts people, nor a deep mystery with great wisdom and knowledge. This kind of just smart enough was rare. He really did not know if it was a blessing or a curse to find that quality in a servant.
There were some who were just smart. Ji Heng did not like extremely intelligent people. He particularly hated smart and agitated people. Tian Qi owned both, but Ji Heng still could not hate him.
Not only he does not like it, he even ...
Ji Heng rested his chin with his hand and sank into contemplation. Where does this type of abnormal and embarrassing desire come from?
Just because Tian Qi's face was beautiful, my? He was really handsome, especially when he was wearing women's clothes, he was beautiful. He lost no beauty in the imperial harem. Could it be only because of its beautiful appearance, my?
This explanation was untenable. Ji Heng knew himself; he was not a lustful man. It was not that he did not like beautiful women, but rather that a pretty face was not enough to attract him and upset his mind and soul, to abandon his principles and to forget his results. But now, faced with this little eunuch, all his principles and results have become jokes, slightly defeated. Unexpectedly, he loved a man. And it was not a man but a man cut once. As far as he was concerned, he had always been calm and self-possessed, yet he acted as if he were one of those despicable people who visited these shady businesses with prostitutes. In general, saying that the emperor had broken sleeves was simply a nightmare.
spirit and soul upside down - idiom = infatuated, madly in love, fascinated, captivated
cut once through the man - A. assuming that means that his jewels were cut off, a eunuch
Now he was stuck in this limitless nightmare, unable to wake up.
Even until now, Ji Heng was unable to understand how he had fancied himself with a eunuch, but the facts were facts and he could no longer ignore his own true feelings.
to indulge in fantasy - idiom = let his imagination go wild, fantasize.
What should be done now?
Ji Heng's mind suddenly filled with discomfort.
When the Emperor's work was inflexible, Ji Heng envisioned his life as a perfectly straight avenue. This road could have ups and downs, but she could not change direction or split. The green jade trees on both sides of the road were full of lush flowers. He could appreciate the scenery, but he did not stop his trip and it would be even more unlikely that he would get off the road because he was attracted by the lush flowers.
jade tree full of lush flowers - idiom = a lot of beautiful women
But now there was a misfortune. This type of business has exceeded his expectations and caught him off guard.
What should we do? What else could be done?
There were unstable elements and threats, and they should all be removed as soon as possible.
As Ji Heng lowered his head, his field of vision fell on the rectangular pearwood box of his desk. His eyelids were half-closed with surprise as he stopped looking at the case. The corner of his mouth is hidden with a strange smile. The smile was full of deep bitterness.
He raised his head and shouted at Sheng'An Huai to enter.
Sheng'An Huai entered and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you have instructions?"
"Call Tian Qi."
Since she was on duty the night before, Tian Qi was sleeping. When Sheng'An Huai told her it was time to get up, she was slightly unhappy, but she did not dare to disobey the Emperor's command. She had no choice but to sit down casually and then follow him to the Yang Xin Palace Hall.
Ji Heng was waiting inside the hall. Once Tian Qi saw it, she immediately felt that the atmosphere was not very good. The Emperor stood in the room, contemplating, with an indifferent expression on his face. Yet, Tian Qi still thought he would not tell him anything good.
"Your Majesty, what instructions do you have for this servant?" Tian Qi calmly and carefully asked.
Ji Heng did not answer. He walked until he was in front of Tian Qi, then he suddenly raised his hand and stroked his face. His fingers were thin and dry, with thin calluses on the fingertips. Right now, they were stuck on his extremely smooth cheek, his thumb lightly rubbing his face, drawing a vague bow.
Tian Qi "..." What was the meaning of that?
She did not dare move, did not dare raise her head. In his mind was chaotic and his face was not up to expectations as it had become red.
Ji Heng's hand slid down the face of Tian Qi, followed his chin and paused on his blond neck. His thumb came and rubbed his throat, sometimes slightly, sometimes heavily. It seems that there was not one.
This place was where the Adam's apple should be. His body tensed immediately. Could the emperor suspect that she was a woman? A castrated eunuch of his childhood had no prominent Adam's apple, like a woman's. Tian Qi had been a eunuch for a long time, she was sure of it.
Tian Qi was even more puzzled "Your ------"
She did not have a chance to say another word because the Emperor suddenly gave him a choke.
This sudden and unexpected action frightened and worried him. She instinctively grabbed her wrist and tried to twist it but her hand was as if it was cast iron, not moving at all. The veins of his neck pinched, his trachea compressed, Tian Qi had difficulty breathing and his consciousness began to fade. She looked at Ji Heng with a complex look. Bizarre, pain, argument, as well as ... resentment.
Ji Heng gradually increased his strength.
Tian Qi realized that she was going to die today. She did not want to see it, so she just closed her eyes. The two tears in the corner of her eyes boiled and slid down her face, then ran down her fingers.
Tian Qi thought she should have left the imperial palace. Avaricious and insatiable, the snake tried to swallow the elephant, thinking only of money. This time she should pay with her life.
stingy and insatiable - idiom = greedy and never satisfied
She suddenly thought of a lot of people and a lot of things. She remembered her distant but clear face as they smiled at her and motioned for her to come.
Tian Qi wanted to follow them.
However, Ji Heng suddenly released his hand.
Tian Qi has long been pressed until she no longer has any strength from head to toe. Once Ji Heng let her go, she simply collapsed on the floor as she covered her chest and coughed violently, breathing violently. Her mind cleared and she found out she was still alive.
Even if she did not know why the emperor suddenly felt merciful. But then she did not even know why he wanted to kill her to begin with.
It seemed that the mental state of the emperor was getting worse and worse every day.
Ji Heng squats slowly next to her. He lifted Tian Qi's face and wiped his tears with his fingers, his soft actions.
Tian Qi immediately put his guard in place. This mental case did not come back to finish the job, ba?
"Crying so much, I was just trying to scare you." Ji Heng said he was making fun of Tian Qi.
Tian Qi was unable to think of pretty words like "nice" or "pretty" when she saw that smile. She only felt her hair stand up.
Ji Heng did not say anything else, but instead let Tian Qi go with his hair standing on his final appearance.
Both feet of Tian Qi were mixed with garlic as she was leaving quickly. Once in the sun and since she fled, she felt she was born again. Damn, she really felt that life was beautiful.
However, the emperor in this house was too violent!
A: Now, it makes sense that TQ even uses "I fell in love with you" every time she was interviewed by JH. As a simple servant, her life was as precious as that of an ant. She could be killed by one of the concubines or even the emperor simply because they were bored or simply because they were attracted to them and were uncomfortable with it. Even if human rights have not evolved optimally, at least most of us have a say (beware of the "pluses" because not everyone understands this. still be considered a luxury).
After living twenty-three years, Ji Heng never thought that one day he would have an unwanted desire of a eunuch.
He did not like this group because of the shadow of his youth. Of course, his life needs this group of slaves to look after them. Although his life and even intimate things are entrusted to eunuchs, he can not always fully trust them. There is always a kind of relationship with them. Thin and difficult, how can not bridge the gap.
What is Tian Qi different from them?
It seems like it's not different. Seriously, Tian Qi is not the type of slave most desirable. The ideal type of slave in Ji Heng's eyes should be like Sheng Anhuai's eyes, his eyes are clear, he will do things and at the same time, he will be safe and autonomous.
And Tian Qi? Three days and two disasters that cause problems and irritate the popularity of teeth, but there is always a way to escape safely.
This slave is full of intelligence. This kind of person should be boring, but his intelligence is between a little intelligence and great wisdom. It is not as disgusting as a small intelligence, nor as impenetrable as a great wisdom. It's hard to find that intelligence just-in-time and it's a blessing to be a blessing.
Like all smart people, Ji Heng does not like overly intelligent people. He hates above all wise men who are agitated. Tian Qi took all these two things, but Ji Heng did not hate him anyway.
Not only does not hate him, but also ...
Ji Heng took his chin and fell into meditation. Where does this abnormal and indescribable desire come from?
Just because of the beautiful face of Tian Qi? He really looks good, especially when wearing women's clothes, without losing any harem harems. Can this be just because of beauty?
This explanation is untenable. Ji Heng knows he is not a lascivious person. It's not that he does not like beauty, but he can not seduce him and give up all the principles and the end result. But now, before the little eunuch, all his principles and results have become jokes and are easily vanquished. He even likes a man or a man who has been cut again. It's a nightmare for an emperor who has always been calm and autonomous and turned his back on Longyang's sleeves.
He is now in this boundless nightmare and can not wake up.
Although Ji Heng still can not understand how to think of a eunuch so far, the fact is that he can no longer ignore his true truth.
How to do?
In Ji Heng's heart, there were ups and downs.
When the emperor is a rigid work, Ji Heng feels that his life is like a straight path. This road can have ups and downs, but there will be no divergence and bends. The jade trees on both sides of the road are full of flowers, so he can only enjoy the scenery, but he will not stop for it and will not be hung on the right path.
But now, the accident appeared, in a way that surprised him and caught him off guard.
How to do? What else can I do?
All agitation factors and threats must be removed as soon as possible.
Ji Heng lowered his head and his eyes fell on the rectangular box of yellow pear wood on the case. Half-eyelids covered his eyes. His mouth was full of strange smiles and his smile was slightly bitter.
He looked up and raised his voice and called outside Sheng Anhuai.
Sheng Anhua entered respectfully. "What do you want to do?"
"Call the field seven o'clock."
Tian Qi was in the night of last night and now she is sleeping. When she was called by Sheng Anhuai, she was slightly unhappy and did not dare to disobey the sacredness. She had to clean up and follow him to the Yangxin temple.
Ji Heng is waiting in the hall. When Tian Qiyi saw it, he felt that the atmosphere was not very good. The emperor stood in the house and meditated. The expression on his face was weak, but Tian Qi felt he did not have good things.
"The Emperor, what is your indication of the slaves?" Tian Qi carefully asked Ann and asked.
Ji Heng did not answer. He went to Tian Qi and suddenly raised his hand and stroked his face. Her fingers were fine and dry, and there was a fine expectoration on her belly. At this moment he was attached to his delicate, smooth cheeks. The thumb was rubbed on his face and the bow was drawn.
Tian Qi: "..." What does this mean?
She did not dare to move, she did not dare to look up, her head was out of order and her face was red.
Ji Heng's hand slid down the face of Tian Qi, rubbed his chin and stopped at the white neck. He turned his thumb on his throat, which was light and heavy.
This place is where the long gorge is. When Tian Qideng was tense, did the emperor suspect he was a woman? No, the eunuch who has been castrated from an early age will not have a long throat. It's no different than a woman. Tian Qi is in the eunuch for a long time. It's pretty certain.
Tian Qi is even stranger, "The Emperor -"
Another word did not have time to say it, because the emperor suddenly grabbed his neck!
This sudden change made her panic and she instinctively pushed her wrist out, but her hand was like a cast iron and she did not move. The blood vessels in the neck were caught, the trachea was squeezed, Tian Qi had trouble breathing, and the consciousness in the brain was scattered. She looked at Ji Heng and her eyes were complicated. Incomprehensible, painful, imploring and ... resentment.
Ji Heng gradually increased his strength.
Tian Qi knows he will die today. She does not want to see him again. She just closes her eyes and her eyes are filled with tears. She slid down her face and dripped on her fingers.
Tian Qi thought she should have left the palace. Greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, the network is thinking about making money, this time to lose the life.
She suddenly thought of a lot of people, a lot of things. She saw the distant but clear face of her memory smile at her and let her come.
Tian Qi was confused and wanted to follow.
Ji Heng suddenly released his hand.
Tian Qi had already been beaten and Ji Heng had let go. She fell to the floor, licking her chest, coughing and panting. The brain finally became clear again and she ended up with a life.
I just do not know why the emperor suddenly had a pity. Of course, she did not even know why he was going to kill the killer.
It seems that the condition of the emperor is getting worse.
Ji Heng squatted slowly, lifted Tian Qi's face and used his fingers to help wipe dry tears and the movement was gentle.
When Tian Qi is on the verge of an enemy, will this neuropathy not come back?
"Cry and cry, so I can not help but scare." Ji Heng said, smiled at Tian Qi.
This smile prevented Tian Qi from associating with words such as "kindness" and "peace". She now only has a scary feeling.
Ji Heng did not say anything, but let go of Tian Qi in goose bumps.
Tian Qi and his feet were mixed with garlic and went out to see the big sun outside. She had the feeling of running away from birth and she felt that life was so beautiful.
However, the emperor in the house was too violent!
