1668 Felt So Horrible That She Could Hardly Breathe

The general did not take action immediately because he was confident in Princess Ji’er’s martial arts skills. He also wanted to catch that woman while she was unprepared.

As he watched the woman who died a horrible death, the personal guard felt no sympathy for her at all.

It was because the woman was not innocent.

Chu Qi planned to carry Ji’er into the room after leaving the garden.

Before they entered the room, however, Ji’er suddenly said, “Put me down, Lil Qi. I’d like to sit here for a while.”

“Alright,” Chu Qi replied and put her down.

Ji’er leaned on the bench in the corridor. Her pale face looked almost translucent. When she saw Chu Qi still standing there, she smiled and said, “You have a lot of work to handle, Lil Qi. There is no need for you to accompany me. I’ll be fine on my own.”

Chu Qi sat down next to her and gripped her cool fingers in his palm. He brushed them gently. “No, I’m free today. There’s nothing urgent for me to tend to. I’ve got time to accompany you.”

“Really?” Ji’er should have felt happy about it because Lil Qi was always bogged with military work and did not have enough time to spend with her.

However, she did not feel as happy as she thought she would be when she heard this.

Instead, she felt so horrible that she could hardly breathe.

She wanted to cry but was not able to.

It was probably because she had cried herself dry last night.

When he saw the forced smile on her face, Chu Qi knew that the woman’s words had affected Ji’er.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms. His eyes dimmed as he blamed himself. “Ji’er, this is all my fault. That woman was coming after me.”

When he heard the woman’s words, he realized where she was from.

He had only killed one woman in all these years, and that was Princess Man Li from Southern Xinjiang.

That woman just now was probably Man Li’s younger sister.

He had to admit that the woman was unexpectedly vicious. She had not come directly to him for revenge, but instead targeted the woman by his side, Ji’er.

She must have put in a lot of effort to be able to find out the secret that had been buried for many years in the Palace.

Based on the fact that she was from Southern Xinjiang, it would be odd if she was able to discover the long-buried secret of the Palace by herself. This incident must have involved others as well.

He had not planned to kill this woman back then; he wanted to find out who had revealed the secret to her first.

However, she had dared to utter such atrocities to Ji’er, which meant he could not let her live.

Even if killing her meant allowing the real mastermind to escape, Chu Qi would not hold back.

Nevertheless, he was still determined to capture the mastermind behind this.

Ji’er leaned into his arms and nodded. “I know.” She paused and said asked a bit curiously, “Did you really kill her older sister?”

“Yes.” Chu Qi did not want to talk about such unimportant characters and he instead said, “Ji’er, the weather is fine today. Why don’t we take a walk outside together?”

When she saw the concerned look in the man’s eyes, Ji’er hesitated before agreeing. “Alright.”

There was a field of flowers in the suburbs right outside of West Water Frontier. Golden canola flowers were blooming brightly during this season and they looked exceptionally spectacular.

After Chu Qi tied his horse under a tree, he took Ji’er’s hand and begin taking a slow walk through the field of flowers.

The scent of the flowers surrounded them and the bees and butterflies flitted about, mixing to make a lively and picturesque scene.

Ji’er looked at the blooming field of flowers and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Chu Qi turned around to see her finally smiling and he felt relaxed. He bent over and picked a bunch of canola flowers, handing them to her. “For you, Ji’er.”
