The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 232 Doubts What Else You Have
Hearing this remark, Lu’er and Qin Ruojiu's facial expressions showed haru's countenance as well as excitement.
Yan’er said continue: “Onspect, I will go with you tomorrow night. Life or death, I also want to bet. Besides, I'm used to living in fear while living in the palace. I will fight this time, in the future I will not be afraid of anything anymore.”
After listening to that remark, Lu’er and Qin Ruojiu again nodded their heads happily, at the same time they cast their gazes at Xiao Huan.
Yes, it is only a matter of waiting for Xiao Huan's decision.
Xiao Huan stood to the side, feeling the gazes coming from the surroundings, suddenly feeling such a heavy pressure. For a moment, he seemed to be a little unable to breathe, his shoulders trembled slightly and said: “Enjoy... I ...”.
Qin Ruojiu did not know what Xiao Huan was worried about, she simply asked in a soft voice: “What are you afraid of? Tell me, if I can help you finish it then I will definitely help you.”
Actually Qin Ruojiu knew she shouldn't be so selfish as to ask them to run away with her. But this is the only way. If it did not bring them, if Emperor Zhaolie blamed then they would definitely die. Qin Ruojiu did not want to hurt an innocent life because of her. If anyone died because of him, even if Qin Ruojiu escaped to the end of the world, Qin Ruojiu would not have peace in his life.
“Xiao Huan, what exactly are you afraid of? I'm willing to go, what do you think?” Yan’er who was at the side seemed to feel quite strange so Yan’er could not help but ask in a soft voice.
Asked like that made Xiao Huan feel even more uncomfortable, at that very moment he was crying loudly in surprise, he said while choking: “I'm afraid ..”
Lu’er pulled her into his arms then whispered softly: “Already, I know you are afraid, but you take it easy, The Empress will not harm you. And again, your nature is not suitable to stay in the Palace, leaving the palace this time can be considered as an accumulation of virtue from the ancestors, so there is no need to fear!”
“True, Xiao Huan, aren't you usually more courageous? You always say the people in the Palace treat you badly, and you also always complain, now when it is about to go, why are you even afraid?” Yan’er who was at the side asked in confusion.
“What a difference, most-laing just die. After all as long as it can come out then it is not a big problem.”
Yan’er was indeed an orphan, sold at the age of 12 years later he fled, had no backrest and was helpless until he went to the Palace to be a servant, so Yan’er looked at life and death very indifferently and straightforwardly. Unlike Xiao Huan who had always been indecisive and had no standing.
“I ...” Xiao Huan was about to try to argue but Lu’er stopped him: “It's Xiao Huan, you go to sleep, we'll go tomorrow, this time you have to go along. Because if you don't leave, you'll definitely die. If you leave, then you still have a chance to survive. You choose yourself!”
After he finished speaking, Lu’er released him then looked at him with a sullen look, looking so innocent and pitiful, he then waved at Yan’er and said: “You help him to retreat first!”
Yan’er had already passed through this shocking wave, looking already calm, the look on his face had returned to normal, then he stepped forward to embrace Xiao Huan and said: “Go, fear not, do not, I'll protect you if anything happens.”
After he finished speaking, the two then left in a silent atmosphere.
Late at night, seeing the two petite figures who had left by helping each other, Qin Ruojiu's heart felt a little sad and also guilty.
Qin Ruojiu slightly lowered her head, there was a deep regret in her tone: “We act like this, is it too cruel for the two little girls?”
Lu’er stood to the side, sighed and said as he looked at Qin Ruojiu with no heart: “Empress, sometimes having to think for the sake of the Empress herself. After all not everyone deserves this kind of Queen's treatment.”
