I lay in the rocking chair, listening to the sudden silence from the maids, thinking that my movement had startled them.
So I pretended to be calm and said, "You can continue talking; don't mind me."
"I am just a dead... uh."
Before I could finish my sentence, someone snatched the script from my face.
Xiao Yi stood outside the screen, holding the script and looking at me: "It seems that during my absence, the rules in the residence have become stricter."
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
I sat up from the rocking chair and adjusted my slightly wrinkled skirt.
"This Concubine is not intentionally being lazy."
"It’s just that this Concubine cannot manage such a large residence alone."
Xiao Yi said, "No worries. Now that I have returned, if you have any questions, just ask me."
I was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Who injured you before you attacked the capital?"
"And why did you feign death during the Dongyang campaign?"
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The one who injured me is an old acquaintance."
"As for the Dongyang campaign, I was still recovering from old wounds and lost."
I stared into Xiao Yi's eyes: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that I once said I had seen all your wounds?"
"The reason you are unwilling to tell me the truth now is it because you have forgotten about me?"
Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback and then chuckled softly: "Qian Qian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If I had forgotten you, would I have come back to find you?"
I bit my lip and said softly, "But Your Highness, you forgot that you once promised this Concubine that you would never betray me in this lifetime."
"You have forgotten everything now; how is that different from betraying this Concubine?"
Xiao Yi was completely stunned this time.
After a moment, he smiled helplessly: "What am I going to do with you?"
"Since I have returned, there is no reason to abandon you."
"Qian Qian, you can rest assured."
I nodded and continued to act unreasonable, "Your Highness, are you blaming me for extorting you?"
"So now you don't remember anything and just want to shake me off to teach me a lesson."
Xiao Yi's expression instantly became serious upon hearing this.
"Qian Qian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How could I blame you for extorting me?"
"Do you know what those people outside are saying about you?"
"They say you are shameless, despicable, and will stop at nothing for wealth and power."
"When I hear these words, I feel heartbroken for you; how could I blame you?"
"In my eyes, you will always be a pure and virtuous girl."
Pure and virtuous?
Those words were so unbelievable that even I couldn't accept them.
However, I didn't expect Xiao Yi to defend me so fiercely.
"Your Highness, am I really that good?"
I blinked my eyes and looked at Xiao Yi with a pitiful expression.
Xiao Yi chuckled again, "If you weren't that good, how could I like you?"
"Qian Qian, just rest assured that as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you."
"If anyone dares to speak nonsense again, I'll cut out their tongue!"
When Xiao Yi said this, there was a fierce tone in his voice.
I had no doubt that he would follow through on his words.
After all, he had done so in the past.
Speaking of which, ever since the stories about my past with Xiao Yi spread, many versions have emerged in the capital.
My account was naturally among those circulating in the form of stories written by scholars.
But my genuine version is not believed by anyone. People are more inclined to trust the performance of "Tea House Master" on the stage.
