slave seven seven

Chapter 173
"The slave doesn't understand, Qi Qi followed the master and risked his life, and the slave begged the master to spare Qi Qi's life." Yun Lei's begging came from inside the door, accompanied by the sound of kneeling on the ground.

"You don't have to understand." The moment Xia Houling finished speaking, there was a soft knock on the door, and the two of them looked at the door. Yun Lei shouted, "Who is outside?"

"It's me." Qiqi replied calmly.

Yunlei jumped up from the ground, seeing Xia Houling's astonishment, he opened the door sensibly and let Qiqi in, then knelt down, "Your servant will leave."

Xia Houling stood aside with her hands behind her back, watching her come in with the lotus seed soup, without a trace of expression on her face, as if she had returned to the dull person in the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing that she put down the lotus seed soup and saluted and was about to go out, Xia Houling couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear that?"

Qi Qi paused, her face still not loosened, "Yes."

"Now I know what Qingyun meant by entrusting a non-human being? I, Xia Houling, am just a heartless person." Xia Houling said, her eyes were fixed on her stiff back, so weak and thin that she couldn't bear a single blow.

It turned out that he also heard that night when Qingyun was helping her. Qiqi heard Xia Houling ask exactly the same words as Qingyun, "Do you regret it?"

Do you regret following him all the way, or do you regret that your heart has fallen on him?

The room was quiet for a long time before Qi Qi spoke slowly, "From the moment Qi Qi joined the army to follow the Lord, she never thought of being alive, so what should I regret if I die now?"

There is no sadness or grievance, only the silence of recognizing fate.Xia Houling grabbed her hand suddenly and turned her to her body, "I don't believe you can accept it calmly, do you accept your fate?"

"I just keep in mind what Master said." Qiqi raised her head to meet Xia Houling's gaze, such clear eyes almost made him feel ashamed.
