Chapter 132 She Killed Her Savior

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Zhao Qiyue immediately ordered someone to call Shen Jie.

When Shen Jie arrived, Zhao Qiyue asked directly, "Back in Xirong, Tuoba Shuo wanted to harm me. Was it you who saved me?"

Recalling what happened back then, Shen Jie felt somewhat guilty. He nodded and said, "I guess so, but when I arrived, Tuoba Shuo had already fainted."

Zhao Qiyue took a deep breath after hearing this: "Then why didn't you tell me at that time?"

Shen Jie: "You didn't ask, and I also said at the time that it was not a life-saving favor. It was just a small favor."

Zhao Qiyue bit his back teeth and felt for the first time how difficult it was to communicate with literati.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiyue asked again: "Then he was abducted by the Dongli Allied Forces. Did you kill Liu Biao?"

Shen Jie was even less aware of this matter. He shook his head and said, "When I found you, the villa was already on fire. You were lying in the bushes covered in blood."

The answer was about to come out. Zhao Qiyue's fingertips dug into her palm and suddenly thought of something: "Do you know how Lu Qiqi escaped?"

It was too chaotic at the time, and Zhao Qiyue always thought that Lu Qiqi was rescued in the chaos just like her.

Shen Jie also concealed this matter, but to be honest, he would not lie.

"I brought money to redeem the person, but Liu Biao only let me choose one."

At this point, he glanced at Zhao Qiyue with a guilty conscience: "You also know that Qiqi has been weak since she was a child, and she is not as smart as you."

Zhao Qiyue seamlessly continued his words: "So you chose Lu Qiqi and left me alone there to face the danger."

Seeing Zhao Qiyue's bad face, Shen Jie struggled with his words and said, "I was also very conflicted at that time. Anyway, aren't you fine now? When Qiqi has a baby, I will make it up to you when I have time." Since getting married, Shen Jie has been living in Lu Qiqi's yard. He thought that his compensation might not be to visit her. Zhao Qiyue thought it was funny, "No need. I'm glad you didn't touch me, so I don't feel sick."

Shen Jie's face suddenly changed after hearing this: "Don't think I don't know. You are not clean either. I heard that there were men in your room. I don't know which man broke your virginity. Qiqi is different from you. She just likes me purely and I am the only one in her heart and soul."

Seeing Shen Jie's true face, Zhao Qiyue suddenly smiled. Her vision gradually blurred and she hated herself for not being able to judge people well.

She killed her savior, how ridiculous!
Her smile made Shen Jie feel uneasy, and he flicked his sleeves and left.

Zhao Qiyue burst into tears while laughing, hugged herself with both hands and squatted on the ground, mumbling: "Pei Zhuo, I'm so cold."

Another half a month passed, and Zhao Qiyue's condition became worse and worse. The maid could no longer bear it and went to the palace to find the Queen Mother.

"Your Highness, please have pity on the princess. She has been unable to eat and has become extremely thin. If this continues, I am afraid she will not be able to hold on."

Recently, the new emperor of Xirong will send an envoy to Beijing, and two princes will also come. One of them is the newly recognized son of the Helian family, who has not yet married.

Speaking of which, the Helian family was miserable enough in the beginning. Although they were great contributors, they were hunted down and killed by the Tuoba family. All of them, young and old, died or fled.

I heard that this newly recognized prince was a posthumous child, and it was not easy for him to survive until now.

If they could seize this opportunity to negotiate peace and send a princess over, the relationship between the two countries would be stabilized.

Empress Lü has been very busy lately with the matter of the envoys from the Western Rong, and has not summoned Zhao Qiyue into the palace for a long time.
