"Is that so? I'm going back now?"

Li Ji noticed that the aura of female official Yao was a little confused, thinking that she was afraid of the Queen of Former Qin.

"If the queen is going to wake up," said the female official Yao lowered her head and concealed the panic in her eyes. "If she couldn't see me after waking up, she would definitely be furious."

"Then you go back quickly," Li Ji said hurriedly.

The female official Yao stood up and saluted, turned around and walked towards the door.

Li Ji looked at her back and found that her steps were a little sloppy, and her right hand was unnaturally placed on her waist, as if she was holding something tightly.

"etc."

Female Official Yao was shocked and turned his head stiffly, "Zhaohuajun, what's wrong?"

Under the moonlight, her face was as pale as a dead person.

Li Ji was a little surprised, "Why are your face so bad? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your body?"

"No," the female official Yao swallowed nervously, "I just fear that I would be too late to go back, so I was punished by the empress."

"Oh, then you go back quickly," Li Ji asked something, and asked quickly, "Are you still serving Yelu Jing in front of you?"

He called her to ask about this. From the tone of the female official Yao, Yelu Jing seemed to see her all the time.

With Yelu Jing's current mental state, the closer she is to her, the more dangerous she is.

"That's right," said the female official Yao, smiling reluctantly, "The Queen Mother doesn't know what she likes me, so she asked me to serve her intimately every day."

Recently, Yelu Jing has become more and more moody, and many palace ladies dare not approach her. But the more afraid the palace maids are, the more angry they will make Yelu Jing angry. Even the dowry brought by Yelu Jing from her parents' home were beaten to death.

I don’t know if it was because she didn’t show a fearful look, but recently Yelu Jing always called her to serve her, which really made her feel a little frightened, but she didn’t dare to show it.

Li Ji frowned and felt very uneasy, "Can you deal with it?"

Is it really okay to continue like this?

"Don't worry too much about me," said the female official Yao comforting him, "When the Queen sleeps, she doesn't have anyone to serve her. She will only call me when she wakes up. She has to sleep several times a day, and she has to sleep for several hours every time she sleeps. I am very free most of the time."

I slept for several hours and kept no one around me.

Li Ji was silent for a moment. Is Yelu Jing really sleeping?

Sure enough, something was still very wrong.

Staying with such an unusual queen, it is really hard to reassure Female Official Yao's safety.

But at this time, she would definitely not be able to leave Yelu Jing. As long as female official Yao showed the idea of ​​leaving, Yelu Jing would probably eat her alive.

Li Ji lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pulled off a strip of cloth from his sleeve with a squeak, then pulled his sword out of the sheath with his backhand.

"Zhaohuajun?"

A bright sword light flashed in front of his eyes, and Ms. Yao was startled.

However, the next moment, Li Ji's sword blade was cut on his wrist.

"What are you doing?"

Female Official Yao was shocked.

Li Ji lowered his head and said nothing. The bright red blood oozed out of his wrist and dripped on the cloth strip. The blood flowed on the cloth strip for a moment, flashing like a spell, and quickly oozing in and disappearing.

Li Ji put away his sword, held the knife edge on his wrist with one hand, and handed the strip of cloth soaked in his blood to the female official Yao.

"You are..."

The hand of the female official Yao holding the cloth strip could not help but tremble.

"There are my soul fragments and true energy in this cloth strip, and it should not be invalid within ten days," Li Ji stared at the eyebrows of the woman opposite, "If you encounter any accidents within these ten days, you can destroy the cloth strip, cut it off or burn it. I will receive the message quickly and rush to your side."

In other words, this is his way to save her life.

He will come to protect her.

Female Official Yao held the cloth strip and stared blankly at the young man in front of him.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly came to her senses, shook her head repeatedly, and desperately stuffed the cloth strip back into Li Ji's hand.

"No, no, how can I match someone like me?"

The female official Yao's face was flushed with shame, "How can a despicable person like me be worthy of wasting your soul? Take it back quickly!"

Even if she is not a practitioner, she knows how important the fragments of the soul are to practitioners. Even if they only contain a drop of blood from the soul, she is not worthy!

She never dreamed that Li Ji would do such a thing for someone like her.

"A thing like this, at least... it must be given to His Highness the Princess..."

Female Official Yao stammered, "My low life is not worthy of..."

"wrong."

Li Ji interrupted her with a clear gaze.

He did not correct the statement of Ms. Yao, but just looked at her eyebrows and asked seriously, "Ms. Yao, will your princess say such things?"

The female official Yao was stunned and was stunned.

This is the first time Li Ji mentioned Ying Baoyue in front of her these days, and he still used such an extremely serious tone.

Li Ji closed his eyes and said softly, "You don't have to think so noble. I'm just learning from someone."

"If your princess is here, she will definitely do that."

In Ying Baoyue's eyes, there is no difference between everyone in this world.

The lives of princes and nobles are not more precious than those of peddlers and pawns. Children of unknown origin and disciples of Zen temples are also qualified to live well.

"There is nothing worth it or not," Li Ji said calmly, "If you say that, you will feel sad to hug Yue."

Female Official Yao looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly burst into tears.

She suddenly remembered that when she was beaten by other palace servants half a year ago in order to protect the purse on her waist, the girl who passed by and rescued her without hesitation.

The lives of the palace maid are just props for fun for Ying Hanri and Yelu Jing, but for Ying Baoyue and Li Ji, they are objects that they would rather hurt themselves than protect.

"Do you understand?"

Li Ji stared at the woman in front of him and said gently, "We must all live well before she comes back."

"Yes," said the female official Yao, holding the cloth strip in the palm of her hand.

She understood what Li Ji meant.

Ying Baoyue will one day just need to come back here, whether she is Lou Xiaolou, you must be prepared to greet her with all your might, and no accidents will happen.

"Just understand," Li Ji said, "Go back quickly."

The female official Yao quickly stepped across the threshold and walked towards the moonlight. Just as she was about to disappear from Li Ji's sight, she suddenly stopped and turned her head, "Zhaohuajun!"

"What's wrong?" Li Ji was about to return to the cold palace when he heard this.

The female official Yao clenched the clothes on her waist, as if she had made up some decision.

"Next time, when I come next time, I have something to ask you."

What she said was too big for her, and she had to do it carefully. It would be best to discuss it with Lou Xiaolou in advance before she could decide whether to break the oath she had made.

She needs some time to think about it, and hopes that fate will give her this time.
