Chapter 1036: Bai Yueguang and Zhu Shazhi live together (30)
One month later
"There is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people are suffering. I want to send an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief. Are there any of you who would like to recommend yourself?"
The court was in complete silence.
Since ancient times, there have been only two outcomes for imperial envoys responsible for disaster relief.
One died on the way to provide disaster relief, and the other died on the disaster relief site.
The interest system involved in disaster relief is too huge, and almost no one can come back alive.
Naturally, no one would take the initiative to take on this task.
Just when Qi Feng was about to assign Wang Yue, Qi Xing took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mother Queen, I am willing to go."
Qi Feng said loudly: "Well, you are worthy of being my daughter, you are courageous and decisive! You will be fully responsible for the disaster relief this time."
Qi Xing bowed his head in thanks, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."
Nine Princes Palace
Qi Xing returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion with a heavy heart. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Yun Shen waiting outside the mansion.
Qi Xing immediately changed from a gloomy face to a happy one, and walked towards Yun Shen while asking, "Are you waiting for me?"
Yun Shen nodded, "Yes, I am waiting for Your Highness."
Qi Xing took Yun Shen's left hand and said, "Let's go back home."
Yun Shen responded in a gentle voice: "Okay."
Qi Xing took Yun Shen's hand and led him into the study.
"Your Highness, why did you come directly to the study? Aren't you going back to your room to change out of your court robes first?"
Qi Xing patted his forehead belatedly and said, "I forgot."
Yun Shen smiled and said, "Your Highness has always been methodical in doing things. What happened today? Is there anything on your mind?"
Qi Xing said frankly: "I just made a risky move."
Without waiting for Yun Shen to ask in detail, Qi Xing took the initiative to explain the whole story.
After Yun Shen finished listening, he asked in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, do you want to use the merits of this disaster relief to get yourself the position of the Crown Princess?"
Qi Xing nodded, "Yes."
Yun Shen handed Qi Xing a cup of tea and said, "Since Your Highness has made up his mind, why are you still frowning?"
Qi Xing pressed his eyebrows and expressed his worries, "I'm afraid I'll never come back..."
In the past, he was not afraid of death, but now, he has people he wants to protect, and he wants to live.
Yun Shen took a step forward and hugged his little wolf cub, and whispered in Qi Xing's ear: "As long as Your Highness takes me with you, I promise that Your Highness will not go without returning."
Although Qi Xing longed for Yun Shen's embrace, he still resolutely pushed Yun Shen away, "Disaster relief is a complicated matter. I can't let you take risks with me."
Yun Shen smiled slightly, "Your Highness, my skills are better than yours."
Qi Xing: “…”
Qi Xing touched his ears which were a little hot and continued to persuade him, "Two fists cannot defeat four hands. Even if your martial arts skills are high, you cannot defeat many people besieging you."
Yun Shen raised his hand and stroked Qi Xing's face, "Your Highness, we will sleep together in life and be buried together in death."
Qi Xing was dazzled by the deep affection in Yun Shen's eyes, and subconsciously blurted out, "Okay."
It was not until Yun Shen pulled his hand away that Qi Xing realized what he had agreed to.
Qi Xing seriously suspected that Yun Shen used a beauty trap on him.
Yun Shen did use the beauty trap.
Although he was tricked by Yun Shen, Qi Xing didn't care about it now. He cared more about what Yun Shen meant by his words just now.
Qi Xing suppressed his excitement, held Yun Shen's wrist, and cautiously asked, "What do you mean by what you just said?"
Yun Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Literally."
Qi Xing asked, "What does it mean literally?"
Yun Shen held Qi Xing's hand in return, "It means that I like Your Highness."
The moment he got the answer, Qi Xing seemed to have lost all his senses, and was left with only the relief that everything had settled.
After a long time, Qi Xing slowly hugged Yun Shen.
"I will not let you down in this life."
"Life and death follow each other."
