Chapter 209 Gao Xian's heart suddenly clenched with pain
His eyes were as deep and dark as an impenetrable black mist.
As Gao Xian gazed at her beautiful face, his heart pounded so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest.
He could hear nothing but the deafening sound of his heartbeat.
He couldn't help but move closer to Qin Jiuwei, but his hands and feet were cold with nervousness.
He didn't know what he was afraid of.
Perhaps he was afraid of being hated by her, or perhaps he was afraid that he would destroy everything he had now...
It doesn't matter anymore, none of it matters anymore...
His desires and obsessions overwhelmed everything, rendering him unable to think of anything.
He didn't care about anything else now; all he wanted was to be close to her, very close to her...
As Gao Xian approached step by step, Qin Jiuwei recalled the scene before her death in her previous life.
In his past life, Gao Xian had also approached her step by step with poisoned wine in the same way.
She refused, knelt down and begged him, asking what she had done wrong.
At that moment, Gao Xian looked down at her condescendingly and said, "Your mistake was that you shouldn't have competed with Qing Kui. If you don't die, how can Qing Kui become empress?"
His voice was as cold and indifferent as three feet of ice.
"I will give Qingkui whatever she wants, including your life."
Qin Jiuwei snapped out of her daze and sneered, her disgust growing even stronger.
"Your Majesty." Just as Gao Xian was about to approach, she suddenly spoke, coldly stopping him.
The sound, like a long arrow shooting out of the forest, startled Gao Xian awake.
He looked at Qin Jiuwei in front of him, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and he seemed somewhat dazed.
Before he could speak, Qin Jiuwei bowed and said directly, "Greetings to Your Majesty. I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Qin Jiuwei turned around directly.
Seeing her about to leave, Gao Xian felt a sudden tightness in his chest, as if something important had been forcibly ripped out.
In a moment of panic, he reached out and grabbed Qin Jiuwei's sleeve.
"Don't go." His voice was hoarse, with a hint of barely perceptible panic and urgency.
Qin Jiuwei's face was icy cold, her eyes filled with disgust. Without hesitation, she forcefully threw Gao Xian away, her movements swift and decisive.
Her sleeves traced an arc in the air as she moved.
"Your Majesty, please have some self-respect." Qin Jiuwei's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
Gao Xian felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp dagger.
Does she hate him that much...?
He opened his mouth to explain, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
Qin Jiuwei took the opportunity to leave quickly.
Gao Xian turned to look at her departing figure, his eyes filled with disappointment and pain.
He stood still, his eyelashes slightly lowered.
The moonlight shone on him, casting a long shadow on the ground.
After Qin Jiuwei left, she walked quickly towards the courtyard.
She was filled with frustration.
In her previous life, Gao Xian had no affection for her whatsoever, and in the end, he even gave her a cup of poisoned wine.
What's wrong with them now?
Fortunately, she had sent all the servants she brought with her to look after the two children, leaving only Xiao He by her side.
Otherwise, if someone sees her like this, her good days will be over!
Men are such dangerous creatures!
Qin Jiuwei did not go directly into the house, but went to the bathroom first to change the clothes she was wearing today.
He turned to Xiaohe and instructed, "Take it and burn it."
Gao Xian just touched this piece of clothing; it's really bad luck.
Even looking at it for a second is annoying.
Xiaohe also recovered from her shock at this moment. When she took the clothes, her hands trembled slightly.
I really couldn't tell...
The Emperor actually harbors such thoughts about the young lady...
Xiaohe couldn't help but shiver.
Then I couldn't help but think of it.
But to be honest, she thought it was normal.
Her young lady is so good, she could be an empress.
However, now that the young lady has married the heir apparent, she naturally cannot have any further involvement with the emperor.
Even if the young lady doesn't mention it, she will try her best to keep it a secret for her!
Qin Jiuwei buried herself in the hot water of the bathtub, and her agitated emotions gradually calmed down, and her mind began to think.
She guessed that Gao Xian probably hadn't been reborn.
So what's wrong with him now?
Could it be that Gao Xian has actually fallen for her?
The moment this thought popped into Qin Jiuwei's head, she couldn't help but feel nauseous.
She shook her head slightly, suppressing the thought again.
Regardless, she needs to start looking for ways to distance herself from Gao Xian from now on.
After taking a bath, Qin Jiuwei regained her senses and put everything that had just happened behind her back.
After returning to the main courtyard, Xie Yanli was still reading on the couch.
But on the table next to it, there was a half-finished chess game.
"What is this?" Qin Jiuwei asked, looking at the broken chess pieces with some confusion.
Xie Yanli followed her gaze and glanced at her.
"Jing-ge came by earlier, and we played a game."
"Who's winning?"
Xie Yanli looked at her with a smile, "Madam, shall we take a guess?"
“Of course, my husband won.” Qin Jiuwei’s beautiful peach blossom eyes shimmered.
"Oh?" Xie Yanli drawled, "Why?"
“Naturally, it’s because—” Qin Jiuwei’s lips curved into a smile, “Old ginger is spicier!”
She had barely finished speaking when she fell into Xie Yanli's arms.
Xie Yanli reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her cheek, and said with a smile, "Madam is very clever."
He then suddenly used his arm to lift Qin Jiuwei up in his arms and carried her towards the soft couch.
Surprisingly, Xie Yanli was unusually well-behaved tonight.
But soon, Qin Jiuwei found out why.
