Chapter 37: CH 20

While Hong Xu and Hong Qing were discussing how they would seize 1 Bei Ling, ZiLi, out of breath, finally returned to his palace after running through six wrong palace corridors and three wrong halls. Ever since ZiLi had suddenly received an Imperial order and left this morning, Ming Yue and Chun Lan had been in a state of uneasiness and anxiety. They did not know whether the summon for Their Highness had something to do with the incident with the male attendant last night or not. That incident was the fault of their own good intentions and had ended in a huge, unexpected mistake. If the blame would fall on Their Highness's head, it would truly be a great injustice!

ZiLi waved his hands weakly and said out of breath, “Don't― don't mention it! Damn, this was more tiring than a five― five-kilometer 3 run! *Huff* Water, give me a glass of water!”

After assisting ZiLi, who was out of breath from exhaustion, return to his room, Chun Lan patted his back comfortingly to help calm his breathing. ZiLi took the tea that Ming Yue had brought and after drinking three large cups, he felt more at ease in his chest.

Ming Yue and Chun Lan were both pale and shedding tears.

When ZiLi saw this, he panicked. What he was most afraid of was seeing girls crying. As Jia BaoYu 5 said, ‘All women are made of water.’ 6 Seeing such gentle and beautiful girls shedding tears, watching those crystal teardrops fall, ZiL felt his whole heart sink, which was very distressing!

“Ming Yue and Chun Lan, my beloved big sisters 7 , why are you crying?” ZiLi clumsily wiped the tears from their faces with his sleeve, but soon another endless stream of teardrops flowed down their faces.

“Booohooo~~~~ Your Highness, it’s all our fault. If we hadn't carried out our stupid idea, Your Highness would not have been wrongly accused. We deserve to die, Your Highness! Booohooo~~~~~~~” The two knelt on the ground and cried.

“You two― sigh, get up, it’s not your fault. Why should you two take the blame?” ZiLi was anxious and hurriedly pulled up the two people who were crying so much that they were having trouble breathing. To be honest, the tears on their faces had made the makeup on their faces look like a cat, which could be seen as funny, but ZiLi could not laugh one bit. Instead, he felt heartbroken and comforted them.

These two girls were like family who really cared about him and would worry about him!

“Rea― really?” the two maids asked, who had burst into tears, sobbing.

“Yes, This Highness is sure of it. If not, with His Majesty's temper, do you think I could have come back without missing an arm or a leg?" ZiLi could not help but add secretly in his mind, although I almost lost my virginity.

Thinking of that scene just now, ZiLi shuddered. ZiLi was sure that if the Ninth Prince had not suddenly barged in, that man would have definitely gone all the way!

After being consoled for a while, Ming Yue and Chun Lan both stopped their tears.

ZiLi relaxed his shoulders and heaved a sigh of relieve. Ah, so tired! I should be the one who needs comfort, but somehow, I ended up being the one comforting the others.
