Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 256 Tell the truth

The next day, Mu Yao opened her eyes and saw two young women. They had healthy complexions, slim and well-proportioned figures, and beautiful faces. They were undoubtedly the most beautiful girls Mu Yao had seen during her time in Southern Xinjiang.

"Excuse me, who are you?" she asked dazedly.

"Lanyan and Xianning pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress." The two of them saluted and responded in unison.

"We are maids specially sent by the Emperor to serve the Emperor and Empress in their daily lives." Lan Yan replied.

This is incredible! These two girls gave her such a great gift, she was terrified!

Ji Qi is worthy of being the King of Southern Xinjiang, and all the women under his command are outstanding in appearance. But, are they also from the Bloodthirsty Pavilion?

Then he asked tentatively: "Are you with Lu Shen and Fu Yuan?"

The two hesitated for a moment, then lowered their brows and replied, "We are disciples of Shi Rongxianyi, the director of the Imperial Hospital."

The emperor ordered them to serve the empress well and never scare her and disturb the dragon fetus.

It turned out to be the old man's disciple.

Mu Yao nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "Where is the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is discussing matters with Marquis Wuyang in the Imperial Study." Lan Yan said respectfully.

"Got it. You can leave now. I'll call you if there's anything else." Mu Yao's mind gradually became vague. She was thinking about how to start the conversation so that she could return home safely without mentioning Yu Heng.

Lan Yan was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and looked at Xian Ning slightly. She nodded, then bowed and left the bedroom.

"Xian Ning, will there be any problems if we are not serving the Emperor and Empress?" Lan Yan asked worriedly.

The emperor has always been decisive in killing people, and his temperament is unpredictable. If anything happens to the emperor and empress, he will not show mercy just because of the difference between men and women. If his life is in danger, it will be a small matter, and his entire family will be killed.

"You are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. How shameful! If you displease the emperor and empress, you will die a more miserable death. Let's go!" She walked away quickly with slender steps.

In the afternoon, the heat outside the palace was as hot as a furnace. Cicadas chirped in the willow trees, and there were piles of charred corpses under the trees.

After Ji Qi finished dealing with government affairs, he did not even have time to eat and hurried back to his bedroom.

The beauty lay lazily on the Arhat bed, flipping through a book called "History of Southern Xinjiang" with her eyes closed.

"Is lunch to your liking?" Ji Qi held his breath, sat beside her, took her left hand and gently rubbed the base of her palm, and asked softly.

Now, Mu Yao's meals were prepared by Rong Xianyi and carefully cooked in the imperial kitchen, all of which were changed to Dayun's cuisine. Every day, the stove was started at the hour of Mao, and the food was cooked slowly over a low fire, so that she could eat immediately when she wanted to.

Mu Yao was moved by Ji Qi's thoughtfulness. The unspeakable distress was like a hand strangling her throat, making her feel uneasy.

After much consideration, I decided to tell the truth.

You can hide it for a while, but not for a lifetime. It is better to suffer for a while than to suffer for a lifetime.

"Aqi, I'm not sure if this child is yours. I have to go back to Dayun as soon as possible." Mu Yao expressed her concerns with a heavy heart.

Sure enough, Ji Qi stopped what he was doing, lowered his eyes, and stared at the back of her hand without blinking, slightly dazed.

His body was slightly tense, and the smile that had not yet unfolded was frozen at the corner of his lips.

"If it's not mine, then whose is it?" He asked in a dull tone, and suddenly raised his eyes to meet Mu Yao's complex and deep gaze.

"It's Yu Heng's."

"Who are you talking about?"

At the moment when Ji Qi's shocked expression suddenly changed, Mu Yao told him everything that had happened in the past month and a half, moving the time of Xiao Douxue's appearance to later times and naturally inserting it into the whole story of Yun Lan's distress.

The air was silent, and the heartbeats of both of them became increasingly disordered.

It took a long time for Ji Qi to come back to his senses.

"Woman, are you taking my words for granted? Aren't you really afraid that I will kill them all?"

The windows rustled suddenly, and the teacups on the bedside table began to tremble even more violently. The amber soothing tea swirled rapidly in a clockwise direction.

"If it weren't for them, I would have died long ago. Now all you can see is a horrible mummy." Mu Yao's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.

Ji Qi stared at her blankly for nearly half a cup of tea, then stood up abruptly and strode away.
