Chapter 60
A Tired Heart
Ban Xiang feels like a crow has just passed over her head. She noisily reminds Mo Qi Qi, "But, Your Ladyship, that pearl is clearly…."
"Now that it is in my hand, it belongs to me now. As for the gift for the grand empress dowager, I have my own arrangement." Mo Qi Qi gives her a sneaky smile.
Night es, and the banquet to wele the grand empress dowager has started. Chang Le Palace is full of merry air.
Mo Qi Qi does not go to look for Jun Qian Che and goes to Chang Le Palace by herself. She already went there once, so she already knows the way. No need to follow him around, like a little pet.
She accidentally stumbles upon the 7th wang outside Chang Le Palace. Mo Qi Qi suddenly remembers their promise and quickly calls for him, "7th imperial uncle!"
Jun Yue Hen pays her his respect, "Greeting, Your Ladyship."
Mo Qi Qi drags Jun Yue Hen away to a secluded spot.
This happens to be seen by Jun Qian Che. His eyes turn icy as he steps into Chang Le Palace.
"What is wrong, Qi Qi?" Jun Yue Hen asks in concern.
Mo Qi Qi lets go of Jun Yue Hen's arm before looking at him in guilt, "I'm sorry, Yue Hen! We promised to run away, but I had to break my promise. Everything is fine, now."
A touch of desolateness flashes in Jun Yue Hen's eyes before he simply smiles, "No need to feel guilty, Qi Qi. We promised to run away because we were worried about Dong Fei's case. Who would have thought that the emperor would have exonerated you? Staying is right. After all, being the empress is every girl's dream, and you and the emperor have bee more and more loving as days pass—-"
"Stop!" Mo Qi Qi cuts him off. "Yue Hen, I am not staying for the empress' position. Even though so many women want to be the empress, I don't. I know that high places are cold. It seems glorious but the truth is the life is meaningless and empty!"
"Since it isn't for the position, you must have chosen to stay for the emperor." Jun Yue Hen's voice bees lower.
Mo Qi Qi quickly tries to explain everything to him, "No! Jun Qian Che and I are not meant to be, not for this lifetime and not for the next eight lifetimes! I am unwilling to leave him? Pft, there is nothing I want more than to tear him into pieces!"
"Qi Qi, you must not speak so carelessly!" Jun Yue Hen looks around uneasily.
"I just hate that Jun Qian Che. I am only staying because it is not the right time to leave. Once I want to leave, I will leave without even looking back!" Mo Qi Qi harshly says.
Hearing that, the sadness that lingers in Jun Yue Hen's heart is immediately swept away. He looks at Mo Qi Qi in deep affection, "Whenever you want to leave, you just need to say it to me. I will definitely help you!"
"Uh, nicely said! Nicely said!" She looks away from Jun Yue Hen's enchanting eyes. She's afraid that if she looks on for too long, she will be taken by his beautiful eyes.
