Li Ruoxuan, “…” Was Jiang Yeqian unable to speak because he was here?

Li Ruoxuan gave Zhu Shen a look, deciding that he would take his leave first. He wanted to give the Head Grand Secretariat some time and space to see what kind of outcome would develop.

The moment he took a step, however, Qi Qingyao grabbed his arm.

Li Ruoxuan looked back.

Qi Qingyao started firing at him again.

“What are you doing? You are my daughter’s master now, aren’t you going to protect the mother of your disciple? How impertinent!

“What if he really strangles me to death this time? My daughter would think you are useless and look down on you. Just you wait, you’re going to lose the most talented disciple!”

Li Ruoxuan analyzed the situation and could only shrug at Jiang Yeqian, indicating that it really was not his fault that Jiang Yeqian could not get time alone with her. Immediately after that, Li Ruoxuan patted Qi Qingyao on the shoulder as if he were appeasing an injured beast. He said softly, “It’s okay, I’m here, I’m here! You don’t have to cuss me out so viciously.”

Jiang Yeqian did not expect that she would refuse to speak with him alone; it made him very upset. “He killed your sister and her family before this, but you’re relying on him so much now.”

Qi Qingyao stopped breathing through her thin, cold lips and said, “He killed my sister and her entire family, and now you’re going to kill me. They’re almost the same! The only difference is that my daughter now worships him as a teacher, so he won’t kill me for the time being.”

After a pause, Qi Qingyao widened her eyes slightly and said, “While I can’t order the State Preceptor around on my behalf, you’re dead the moment Si Jin returns.”

“…”

Jiang Yeqian knew that the situation was grave when he heard this. The woman now saw him as an enemy. “I… the little empress…”

Before he was even done speaking, Qi Qingyao faintly cut in, “You and the little empress are quite the match. You can be the prince consort when you marry the empress, hahaha! Congratulations in advance.”

She was laughing but it did not reach her eyes.

She said, “If you don’t try to lay your hands on me anymore, I can keep from Si Jin the fact that you tried to kill me and, in doing so, spare your life.” She did not want to make an enemy out of the little empress, so she could only grin and bear with whatever happened today.

Jiang Yeqian said seriously, “I wasn’t trying to kill you, I was trying to protect you!”

Qi Qingyao could not quite suppress a laugh. She pointed to Li Ruoxuan and said, “If he hadn’t jumped in back then, I would have been dead. Was this also to protect me?”

Jiang Yeqian said helplessly, “Even if he didn’t jump in, the little empress would have called for a stop eventually. The empress wouldn’t actually have me kill you because Si Jin is still around. She just suspects I liked you and was testing me! I can’t have her think that I like you, that’s why I…”

Qi Qingyao was too lazy to listen to this nonsense. “Enough. There’s no need to explain to me anymore. There’s nothing between us anyway, so there’s no point saying this now.”

“There is a point.” Jiang Yeqian looked at her firmly and deeply.

“Oh?”

Qi Qingyao was impatient and her voice was hoarse. “Could it be that the once high and mighty Head Grand Secretariat has decided to tell me that he actually likes me? And that is why he had to strangle me today in order to protect me!”

Jiang Yeqian’s gaze was as sharp as a fiery sword and he said breathlessly, “I really do like you, Yaoyao…”

Li Ruoxuan was standing by the side as he witnessed Jiang Yeqian’s rather serious and nervous confession. He felt conflicted. First, he had never seen the Head Grand Secretariat being so serious. Second, he had never seen such the Head Grand Secretariat being so nervous. Third, the Head Grand Secretariat was well-aware that he would be cussed out by a fuming Qi Qingyao tonight…

So why did he take the bull by its horns?

He came to a sudden conclusion—men in love were stupid!
