Xiao Yuanzi did not speak, but just moved a step forward, exposing his whole body to the light. When Liu Qi saw his face clearly, he took a breath and said in shock: "You...what are you doing?
Yeah, why is it like this, who hit it?"
I saw that Xiao Yuanzi's whole face was swollen, and it was red and swollen. It looked like a pig's head. Xiao Yuanzi avoided his eyes and said: "No... no one hit me, I accidentally fell it."
Yes, you should go back quickly. I am just afraid that you will keep waiting, so I came here to inform you. When the monthly payment is paid the day after tomorrow, we will play some games together and get back all the money they won.
"
Liu Qi was not willing to just leave like this, and said: "Don't lie to me, this person was clearly beaten out, is it Wei Guiren?" Seeing that Xiao Yuanzi didn't speak, he knew that he must have guessed right, and said angrily:
"What did you do that made her want to be so cruel?"
Xiao Yuanzi looked a little panicked, and pushed Liu Qi and said: "Brother Liu, don't ask, I'm fine, and it's not the first time. It's just a few days of rest. I just want you to go all the way in vain. Really
I feel sorry for you."
Liu Qi frowned and said: "I'm not worried, I'm just worried about you. Does Mr. Wei often beat you? I can't believe that Mr. Wei is so vicious. He just wants to beat you to death." Xiao Yuan has been beating you to death these nights.
His wife paid him money to bet every day, and he talked about Brother Liu, so the relationship between the two quickly improved, as if they were brothers.
"I'm really fine, please leave quickly." Xiao Yuanzi pulled at the corner of his cracked mouth, trying to squeeze out a smile, but the next moment he was gasping for air in pain.
Liu Qi said solemnly: "No, we can't let her beat you like this, otherwise you will be beaten to death by her one day, so you have to think of a way quickly."
"Is there anything I can do?" As soon as Xiao Yuanzi finished speaking, Liu Qi said: "Yes, you go find the imperial concubine. She has always treated her with kindness. If she knows about this, she will definitely make the decision for you. When the time comes, you can
Just look for an opportunity to ask the imperial concubine to transfer you away from Yimeixuan..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanzi grabbed his arm tightly and said in shock: "No! The imperial concubine must not know about this matter!"
Liu Qi only said that Xiao Yuanzi was afraid of making things worse, and immediately advised: "If you keep enduring it, Wei Guiren will only go further and further. Don't worry, even if Wei Guiren is pregnant with a dragon fetus, she will not be able to cross it."
Imperial Concubine, I will also speak for you in front of the master. With Imperial Concubine and my master here, Wei Guiren can't do anything to you."
"I'm not worried about this, but..." Xiao Yuanzi seemed to have something unspeakable, so he didn't continue until he was annoyed by Liu Qi's questioning, and then blurted out: "If the imperial concubine knew about this, she would definitely
Beat me to death."
Liu Qi said in astonishment: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Xiao Yuanzi sighed and said helplessly: "Well, let's be honest with you. We have been gambling here these days. Except for the money in the first two days, which is mine, the rest was stolen from the master; I
I originally thought I would make up for it after winning, but I didn’t know that this battle
With such a heavy hand, I lose every day, but the more I lose, the more I want to make up for it. Today I wanted to steal again, but I didn't expect that my master caught me. Fortunately, my master missed my old relationship and didn't report to the imperial concubine to send me away.
Division of Punishment, otherwise I would not be able to stand here and talk to you."
Liu Qi stared at Xiao Yuanzi dumbfounded. He never imagined that he would be so bold as to steal his master's silver. After calming down, he suddenly shook his head and said: "No, all you have brought over these days is scattered silver."
,How can Mr. Wei have so much broken silver?"
Xiao Yuanzi said with a bitter face: "When I got them, they were all ingots. I was afraid that someone would be suspicious, so I used a reamer to break the silver into pieces."
"You...you are so confused!" Liu Qi held it in for a long time before spitting out these words. Apart from that, he really didn't know what else to say.
Xiao Yuanzi said regretfully: "I know it's wrong to do this, but at that time... I really didn't think about it that much, and I always thought about winning back, but I didn't know that the more I lost, the more I lost." After that, he urged Liu Qili again.
go.
Liu Qi moved a few steps, then stopped and said hesitantly: "Guiren Wei hit you, so let's just forget about it and won't cause you any more trouble."
"That should be it." As soon as Xiao Yuanzi finished speaking, a light suddenly turned on behind him, and then a clear voice sounded in their ears, "Xiao Yuanzi, were you caught by me this time?"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yuanzi's face changed drastically. He turned around quickly and stared at the figure who appeared in the line of sight along with the light, "You...why are you here?"
The person who spoke was none other than Xiangju. She took a few steps forward with a lantern, "Master saw that you were unwilling to tell where the money was used, so he thought something was strange, so he asked us to follow him quietly. It turns out you are here.
He also lent the money to this person while gambling; that is to say, he was also involved in stealing the money..."
Xiao Yuanzi said in a panic: "No, Liu Qi doesn't know anything, let alone that the money was stolen. Don't embarrass him."
Xiangju glanced at Liu Qi, who was pale, and said to Xiao Yuanzi: "Master has a destiny, let me bring back everyone related to you, I..." She suddenly paused, and after a while, she finally
He continued: "I don't dare to violate it."
Xiao Yuanzi said anxiously: "Can't you just pretend that you've never met Brother Liu? Why do you have to act like this? How come we have worked together for so long and we really don't care about each other at all?"
"If you want to express your love, you can talk to your master yourself." After saying this, Xiangju turned and left. Xiao Yuanzi gritted his teeth and followed Shangyun. When he passed by Liu Qi, he whispered quickly in his ear.
He said: "Come on, I will hold Xiangju back and prevent her from catching up. As long as we avoid it tonight, it will be fine. She can't find you."
Before Liu Qi could speak, Xiangju suddenly stopped and turned around, "By the way, Xiao Yuanzi just called you Liu Qi... I remember that there was also a palace servant named Liu Qi next to Concubine Yi, so I think it must be you.
." After saying that, his face darkened and he said: "I advise you to go to Yimeixuan with me, otherwise you will have to go to Chonghua Palace to find Concubine Yi to ask for someone. I think you don't want to do that either?"
Xiao Yuanzi's face was full of guilt and regret, and he slapped himself. Liu Qi knew that he was blaming himself for letting the truth slip, so he took his hand and said to Xiangju: "I'll just go with you."
"Then let's go." After coldly throwing away these four words, Xiangju walked forward again. If Liu Qi stood in front of Xiangju at this moment, he would notice something strange about her, in the yellow light.
, Xiangju's forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, and her face showed luck and fear.
