The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 233 Preparation Still Not Finished
That night, Qin Ruojiu slept uneasily. He always dreamed of all kinds of events that would happen when he left. The next day, his mind went blank. Qin Ruojiu got out of bed and sighed for a while, thinking that she was too nervous and causing her to panic and not sleep.
When he finished cleaning up, Lu’er told Qin Ruojiu that Xiao Huan had already agreed to go with them, asking Qin Ruojiu not to worry.
Upon hearing it, Qin Ruojiu looked at herself in the mirror, void and speechless. Xiao Huan's answer still made Qin Ruojiu uneasy. Qin Ruojiu thought about it repeatedly, not knowing what Xiao Huan was forced to make the last choice out of desperation. Or after going through the struggle all night, the accrual can only accept helplessly.
In essence, no matter what the reason was, Qin Ruojiu still felt guilty towards him.
After a while, Lu’er and Yan’er rushed inside while carrying breakfast.
The thought of not eating well yesterday due to worry, now when smelling the aroma is so fragrant, immediately the stomach feels hungry.
Lu’er seemed to be able to see Qin Ruojiu was already very hungry, so he walked in with a smile and said in a soft voice: “The Empress, Lu’er knew the Empress did not eat much last night, so this morning already asked the chef to make more food this morning, but no meat, the main reason is because it has to travel far tonight, it is better to eat a little fatty food, The Empress won't blame me for making her own decisions and preparing for the Empress won't she?”
To Lu’er's attention, Qin Ruojiu simply squinted her eyes and commented on her full smile as she said: “Lu’er, what is that saying? I'm so glad you can think of all this, how could I blame you?”
“Really? Then Empress, I'll pour you a bowl of porridge!”
After finishing eating it, Qin Ruojiu smiled as she said with a very friendly eye gaze: “Lu’er, you've worked hard.” These words, although very short but Qin Ruojiu said them very sincerely.
“It was already my duty as a slave.” Lu’er looked pleased when she heard it, lowered her head and said gently. At this moment, Qin Ruojiu instead frowned, put the spoon in his hand then said with a gentle facial expression: “Lu’er, you do not need to call yourself a slave later on. After passing this night, I am no longer the Empress, we can call each other by the name of Brother Sister.”
“But..” Lu’er looked at Qin Ruojiu with a slight surprise, there was a surprised and happy look that was clearly visible in his eyes.
Qin Ruojiu sighed instead and said with a stern look: “I am a few years older than you, you can call me Big Brother, you can directly call with the names “aku” and “kamu”, you can call me Big Brother, there was no need to mention slaves or Empress anymore. It sounds so foreign and unheard of!”
When Lu’er heard this remark, his heart felt slightly moved, nodded slowly and said: “Well, Lu’er understood.” The Empress treated herself as a family, asking her to forgo honor and status. Among the masters that Lu’er had served before, there was no one as good and so considerate as the Empress. At this moment, Lu’er's heart felt a strange feeling that was hard to describe towards Qin Ruojiu. Already like a family and also like a savior, it was even like someone where Lu’er was willing to sacrifice his life for him.
At this moment, Qin Ruojiu further lowered his head to eat the porridge, glancing at it with the corner of his eyes, discovering that Lu’er and Yan’er were still there, but Xiao Huan was not there, Qin Ruojiu then directly asked: “Lu’er, have you guys seen Xiao Huan?”
When Lu’er heard Qin Ruojiu's question, he just regained his senses from his daydream just now, looked around with a dazed face and did not find Xiao Huan, then as if he was reminded of something, Lu’er then said: “Enchant, no need to worry, Xiao Huan might be packing things. Tonight will go, the preparations are still not finished.”
