    Chapter 88: Out of reach

    “Qiqi…” Zhonghua’s voice trembled, and his eyes were full of pain.

    But what hurts him is not the heavy slap Qiqi slapped on his face. What hurts him is the pain he saw through Qiqi’s eyes, and the pain he caused her to suffer.

    He clearly knew that he was the instigator and that he was the one to blame for all this.Zhong Zhonghua looked at Qiqi, and his outstretched hand stopped next to Qiqi’s cheek. He didn’t touch it. He was afraid, he was timid. He was once so close to her, and he and she were the closest people in the world and had the most intimate relationship, but he pushed Qiqi away with his own hands.

    It’s so far away that you can reach it, but you can’t touch it…

    Zhong Hua looked at Qi Qi. She tried her best to straighten her thin shoulders and looked at him coldly.However, her faintly trembling shoulders betrayed her. Even she knew that what she held up in front of Shen Chonghua was just a look of fierceness and internal turmoil.

    Qiqi is scared, sad, sad, and angry, and all of this is because of him.

    Therefore, no matter how much Zhong Zhonghua wanted to hug Qiqi and tell her that it was his fault, that he had done something wrong, that he would never do it again, he no longer dared.Zhonghua was afraid that his approach would not be a comfort to Qiqi, but would be counterproductive.

    Zhonghua’s movements froze in place, and Qiqi suddenly snorted coldly, the sound was like snowflakes, light and cool.

    She pushed his hand away, turned around and left. Zhonghua was speechless for a moment, but when she turned her head, she saw Qiqi’s back.

    As soon as she came out of the rockery, Qi Qi’s steps became faster, almost like a trot, wanting to leave quickly.Qiqi didn’t know what Zhonghua would do to her if she stayed a moment longer.No wonder she had wild thoughts. After all, it was not like Zhong Hua had never wanted her in the garden or rockery.

    As the picture flashed, Qi Qi felt humiliated and emotionally moved, and she actually wanted to cry.

    Perhaps because of her inner panic, Qiqi didn’t pay attention to Bai Jue, who was walking towards her, so she ran into a wall of people. Before Qiqi could stand still, an arm was wrapped around her waist.Qiqi instinctively stretched out her hand, wanting to slap the man on the chest. When she saw the man’s face and the smile on his lips, Qiqi had to stop her gesture in time.

    “Miss Su, what a coincidence.” Bai Jue said with a smile.

    When Qi Qi realized that she was lying in Bai Jue’s arms, she immediately blushed and hurriedly pushed him away to stand up. Fu Shen said to Bai Jue: “I bumped into the young master, please forgive me.”

    Her voice was cold and her eyes were cold, completely different from the docile and well-behaved appearance of her little daughter when she was accompanying Mother Su just now. It was also in subtle contrast with the blush on her cheeks at the moment.

    Bai Jue squinted his eyes and felt that the girl Su in front of him seemed like a mystery, which he found very interesting.Especially when he saw King Xuan Zhonghua showing his figure on the rockery, and Zhonghua’s expression when he looked at him was even more complicated.

    Even though the General’s Mansion deliberately concealed it, Bai Jue still knew that before she recognized her ancestor and returned to the General’s Mansion, this girl Su was once called Shen Qi and was a maid in Prince Xuan’s Mansion.He also knew that although she was said to be a maid, she was actually a dead soldier of King Xuan.

    Qi Qi didn’t want to stay here for too long, so she walked away. She was obviously in a hurry and was not very familiar with the imperial garden. Bai Jue saw that the little girl had gone the wrong way, and reminded her unhurriedly: “I just saw Mrs. Su and her group heading to the West Garden. Rather than going to see the Yaotai Jade Phoenix that was in good bloom, I wonder if Miss Su would like to enjoy it with Bai?”

    Qiqi was naturally unwilling, and her intuition told her that Bai Jue was not a simple person.But Bai Jue’s words were clever, as if he was reminding her that Su’s mother was in the West Garden, and he seemed to know that he didn’t know where the West Garden was.

    Qiqi just wanted to leave quickly. No one in the palace was simple. She just wanted to return to Su’s mother as soon as possible.Look, unconsciously, in just a few months, Qi Qi has become so attached to Su’s mother. Even she didn’t realize it. She subconsciously felt that such a gentle woman as Su’s mother gave her a great sense of security.

    A dead warrior is loyal to his master, but he must never have anyone he can rely on, and now she has one, because she is no longer someone’s dead warrior.

    “Thank you, Prime Minister Bai.” With the unfamiliar and polite address, Qiqi stopped and expressed compromise.

    What a stubborn and interesting little girl, Bai Jue smiled, and the scenery was bright and beautiful.

    When leaving with Qiqi, Bai Jue glanced slightly sideways and looked behind him. Zhong Zhonghua did not move, looking at Qiqi’s back with a gloomy gaze…

    Probably because Bai Jue sent Qi Qi to Xiyuan, on the carriage ride back, Su’s mother couldn’t help but pursed her lips and asked Qi Qi with a smile: “Xiao Qi, you and Prime Minister Bai…”

    Su’s mother was still thinking about it, but Qi Qi lowered her head and said meekly, “I’ve seen it twice before, so I’m not familiar with it.”

    Mother Su nodded and gave her an osmanthus cake. She was afraid that she would be hungry, so she asked her to fill her stomach first.She also told Qiqi that before going out, she specifically asked the cook to make the sauced beef that Qiqi likes to eat.

    Qi Qi’s eyes were hot, and she leaned forward and leaned on Su’s mother’s shoulder. Su’s mother smiled and touched her long, silky hair, as if she were holding a child to coax her, and said, “Good girl…”
