Chapter 436 Gao Xian is too sentimental
The carriage headed towards the Marquis's residence.
Qin Jiuwei told Xie Yanli everything that had happened in the palace that day.
Xie Yanli listened attentively.
When she mentioned her past life in the imperial harem, where she was bullied and slapped in public by the concubines, his hand suddenly tightened.
A look of uncontrollable tenderness appeared in his eyes.
His gaze fell on her face, looking at her carefully, then he raised his hand and gently covered her cheek.
I felt her warm, soft touch in my palm.
"Does it hurt?" Xie Yanli's voice trembled slightly.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and replied softly, "It doesn't hurt, it's all over now."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and covered his palm.
Her fingertips gently caressed his palm, as if to soothe him, or perhaps to respond to him.
Xie Yanli looked at her, his eyes swirling with intense yet restrained emotions.
"From now on, with me around, no one will be able to lay a finger on you again."
He will protect her.
No matter the cost.
The carriage moved steadily forward, and whispers continued to echo inside.
Qin Jiuwei continued speaking, mentioning the blood scripture.
“Gao Xian said that he was atoning for his sins by copying scriptures in blood to atone for his sins in his previous life.”
Xie Yanli remained silent for a moment.
After a few breaths, he spoke slowly.
"He once kept a bird when he was a child. But the late emperor felt that he loved the bird too much and was neglecting his duties, so he ordered the bird to be taken away."
"He knelt before the late emperor for three days and three nights, almost fainting, but the late emperor still refused to give in. Finally, he returned to his room and found that the bird was dead."
“During that time, he locked himself in his room and remained silent all day long.”
"When the late emperor found out, he was very angry and felt that he was not suitable to be a monarch."
"A monarch should be ruthless in killing."
"Being too sentimental will only hurt yourself. But a monarch who is sentimental will hurt even more people."
"But the late emperor only had Gao Xian as his son, so he had no choice but to let him ascend the throne."
Qin Jiu lowered her eyes slightly.
It seems that's the case.
When he loves Mo Qingkui, he will give everything for her, even at the cost of hurting anyone.
Now, in order to apologize to her, he's resorting to self-harm...
Being too sentimental, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Hou House.
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the curtain was lifted.
Xie Yanli got off the carriage first, and the coachman immediately put down the footstool.
Qin Jiuwei, holding Xie Yanli's hand, slowly stepped down from the carriage.
She had just stopped standing on the ground when she heard cheerful footsteps outside the door.
Xie Jue, beaming with excitement, lunged forward with outstretched arms, calling out, "Mother, Mother!"
Qin Jiu smiled slightly and reached out her hands to pick him up.
But the moment she picked Xie Jue up, her weight made her feel strained, and she almost lost her balance.
She bent down slightly and used all her strength to hold him firmly.
Qin Jiuwei: ……
This kid has been eating a lot lately.
Xie Jingchun, standing to the side, burst out laughing upon seeing this scene.
He stepped forward, reached out, and pulled Xie Jue directly from Qin Jiuwei's arms.
"Third brother, you should eat less these days, it's hard for Mother to carry you."
Xie Jue snorted angrily, "I haven't been eating much lately at all! Big brother, don't wrong an innocent person!"
"Okay, okay, our Jue-ge'er hasn't gotten fat, he's just growing too fast. He'll be tall soon."
Qin Jiu smiled and gently patted Xie Jue's head.
Xie Jue felt her touch, couldn't help but close his eyes and rub against her comfortably.
A slight smile crept onto her face.
Xie Jing watched from the side, a slight twitch appearing on his lips.
My third brother looks like a little puppy.
Qin Jiuwei ruffled Xie Jue's hair for a while and asked with a smile, "Why are you back so early today?"
Since Xie Jue went to Jingyuan Academy, he has not returned until after dinner every day.
You're early today.
Xie Jue blinked and revealed a smug smile: "I behaved exceptionally well today, and the teacher praised me, so I was dismissed from school early!"
Xie Jing stood to the side and chuckled softly.
"Mother, don't listen to my third brother."
"Actually, it's because tomorrow is the Five Blessings Festival, and the academy is giving students a day off, so we let out early today as well."
Qin Jiuwei suddenly realized that it was already May.
The Five Blessings Festival is a tradition of the Great Jin Dynasty, held in mid-May each year.
During this festival, people go out to celebrate and pray for the arrival of the five blessings—health, wealth, peace, happiness, and longevity.
"Since the academy is on holiday, you can have some fun tomorrow."
Xie Jue tugged at Qin Jiuwei's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone, "Mother, I want to go out and play. I don't want to stay in the mansion. Let's go out and play together tomorrow!"
He looked at her with expectant eyes, his face full of longing.
Qin Jiuwei looked at Xie Jue, who was acting coquettishly in front of her, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
I had already agreed in my heart.
But she didn't speak. Instead, she turned to look at Xie Yanli and winked at him.
"My lord, shall we go on a trip together tomorrow?"
Since we're going out to play, it's best if the whole family goes together.
Xie Yanli met her gaze.
Actually, there's another matter I need to deal with tomorrow.
But that little thing is nothing compared to her invitation.
Nothing is more important than spending time with her.
Xie Yanli raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Alright, let's go together."
His voice was low and gentle, carrying an understated tenderness.
Hearing his father's words, Xie Jue became even more excited and cheered, "Great! Mother, Father, I knew you would agree!"
"Let's go out and play! Let's go out and play!"
