Ying Wei flew to my side.
I asked him, "Did you find out?"
Ying Wei knelt down and shook his head, "No... I'm useless, please punish me, Miss."
"It is so."
I looked at him for a long time, watching as his head gradually lowered and his fists clenched at his sides.
I smiled and said, "Step back."
"What?" Shadow Guard was taken aback.
"If we can't find it, so be it. But if we do find it, that would be boring," I waved my hand, ordering the Shadow Guard to leave.
As soon as the shadow guard left, the maid came running in, almost tripping over the threshold as she lifted her skirt and hurried over. I was writing, working on the assignment left by my teacher after his lecture yesterday. The maid bowed and greeted me, speaking hesitantly and incompletely.
I glanced at her and said, "What's the rush? Didn't I send you to stand guard by Yan Zhi's side? Why are you back?" The maid seemed to catch her breath and said, "Miss, Young Master Yan has woken up, but he has been muttering something and I couldn't quite make it out."
"Awake?" I stopped writing and said, "You continue writing, I'll go take a look."
"Miss..." The maid looked at me timidly.
"Don't worry, teacher is fully focused on teaching and won't pay attention to the handwriting."
Yan Zhi is lying in the side room of the west wing, the fire illuminates his features, making the young master look like a painting. When he wakes up, I approach and sit by his bedside, gently caressing his face. Before I can speak, Yan Zhi kisses my palm and softly calls out, "Master."
"Okay," I responded and asked, "I heard the maid say that you were muttering something just now?"
"I was muttering the words of the master," Yan Zhi said, smiling, with the muscles at the corner of his lips pressing against my thumb, as cold as jade.
"What did I say? Is it to set you free? Or... mine, dog."
I pinched Yan Zhi's chin, opened his mouth, and poured the bitter medicine that had been left aside into his mouth.
I didn't stop until Yan Zhi choked and coughed.
Looking at the dregs in the bowl that haven't been filtered out, piled at the bottom of the bowl, it's disgusting like mud.
I disdainfully said, "The medicinal properties have passed, yet you dare to act carelessly. You deserve to die."
According to my usual temper, I would definitely call the maid to come and give her a beating and then put her in a dungeon.
But after all, Yan Zhi is just a performer, previously bullied by others, and now no one respects him. Such a person, even with followers, who would sincerely serve him? I have even less reason to sacrifice a loyalty maid for him.
I pulled my hand back and placed the bowl at the head of the bed: "Once you're healed, come with me to serve Official education."
"Yes..."
Yan Zhi nodded, trying to sit up with his arm, but I pushed him back down.
Yan Zhi It seems difficult to speak, before I could ask, he said: "But Master, Official education said I'm not allowed to enter."
"I hold the third rank in the government, and I'm known for being arrogant and domineering. He's just a teacher, he wouldn't dare oppose me."
I patted his shoulder, saw him trembling with excitement, and said, "It's good to lie down more. As the New Year approaches, the mansion will surely be bustling." Seeing that Yan Zhi was unharmed, I prepared to leave.
When I reached the door, I turned around and said, "In case you didn't hear me before, I'll say it again." "As long as you want, I can fulfill your wishes, including... freedom." The long curtain blocked the view, and it seemed like tears were falling from Yan Zhi, but I couldn't see clearly.
"Didn't the master say... that he would buy me a new outfit..."
Yan Zhi retorted, "I... I want two outfits..."
Yan Zhi Coughing hard, causing the wound to split open.
