obey

Li Yuan stared at the pair of crystal-clear eyes, picked up a purple sweet potato steamed bun and bit it.

Ying Qi looked at Li Yuan silently, waited quietly for him to finish eating, and said softly: "For food other than three meals, you have to buy it separately, and my subordinates can't afford the... the most delicate one, so... Your Highness will take it for once. , I, my subordinate took the monthly case, and bought it for His Highness, the most delicate..."

Ever since I knew Ying Qi, I have never heard him speak so many words, because he was too nervous and seemed to be stuttering, he had no expression, only the tips of his ears were red hot.

While eating, Li Yuan looked at him and asked, "How much does this cost?"

Ying Qi said truthfully: "One tael of silver."

Li Yuan was used to being a noble son, so he really didn't know much about money and silver. He would buy a few thousand taels casually. He didn't know that one tael of silver could feed a month's food for ordinary people.

"Oh." Li Yuan hummed, and asked casually, "How much money did you have with you when you came here?"

Ying Qi sat with her knees hugged, and said truthfully: "One tael of silver." After finishing speaking, she added, "It's for the commander to give to his subordinates, to buy an inner coat."

He came out of the Shadow Palace really penniless, and Ying Wu was powerless to help him, and his monthly money was squandered in the first half of the month.After Ying Qi came out of the Shadow Palace for a period of time to recuperate from his injuries, Ying Si came over every few days to take a look, threw the money to Ying Qi and left without saying a word of nonsense.

Yingqi silently remembered that after receiving the monthly regulations for this month, he would return them to the commander.

"Why did you spend all of it on me?" Li Yuan wanted to laugh and felt distressed at the same time, why did he need others to save money and buy something for him?

Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and did not speak.After a while, he replied softly: "Your subordinate can wear old ones."

He just wanted to buy the best for His Highness, for no reason.

Li Yuan handed him a piece of fragrant purple sweet potato steamed bun: "I think it's very delicious, even better than the ones I ate before, try it."

Ying Qi waved his hand subconsciously to decline, and remembered the "reward from the Lord must be accepted" in the Ying Palace's instruction, so he took it and took a small bite.

Not so delicious, too expensive, like eating money.

Compared with purple potato steamed buns, Ying Qi was more happy to be sitting next to His Highness.His previous wishes came true one after another, Prince Qi's Mansion is really nice, he likes it here.

Li Yuan wrapped the remaining two in lotus leaves, stood up and shook the hem of his clothes: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Ying Qi got up quickly: "This subordinate will send you back."

"No, it's a two-step road." Li Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed Ying Qi's hair, "Next time you go to my study room for night duty, don't eat too much, I'll get you something delicious."

Ying Qi paused, watching His Royal Highness turn and leave, he stretched out his hand subconsciously, His Highness's long hair fluttering in the wind slipped between his fingers, leaving behind an extremely light scent of black aloes.

Ying Qi subconsciously touched the spot on his head that His Royal Highness had touched just now, and when he recovered, His Highness had already left.

"Next time on duty..." Ying Qi calculated in his heart that it would be two days later, and then began to vaguely hope that it would be two days later.

Ying Qi went back to his residence, but saw a lamp burning inside, and the flames flickered.

With a chill in his heart, he opened the door and went in. Ying Si was standing in front of the table with an indifferent expression, cutting off the candle wick, and his long whip black jade was placed on the table.

Ying Qi swallowed, bowed and saluted: "Commander..."

He has always respected and feared Ying Si. When he was in the Shadow Palace, he often looked at the name of Ying Si engraved on the gate of the Shadow Palace. He wanted to be the pillar of the palace as reliable as the commander, and he also imagined these seniors. The same, engrave the name on the gate of the shadow palace.

Ying Si put down the candle scissors, sat on the chair, raised a pair of cold and deep eyes and asked him, "Where did you go?"

"Subordinate..." Ying Qi hesitated, bit her lip, "Buy supper."

Ying Si let out a breath slowly: "Look up, look at me."

Ying Qi raised his eyes to look at him, and the moment his eyes met Ying Si's cold eyes, a whip was whipped on the side of Ying Qi's thigh.

There was a crisp sound of whipping the skin and flesh, and a painful groan was forced into his throat, Ying Qi knelt down in pain, the veins on his neck and forehead bulged, and he couldn't move for a long time.

"There are thousands of pairs of eyes staring at you in the palace, so I don't know where you are going?" Ying Si got up and walked in front of Ying Qi, raised Ying Qi's distorted pale face with the handle of Mo Yu, and asked him indifferently , "Get close to the son, what do you want to do."

Cold sweat dripped down Ying Qi's cheeks, he barely opened his eyes to look at Ying Si, panting with difficulty: "Commander... this subordinate really didn't want to do anything to hurt His Highness..."

Ying Si lowered his head and looked into his eyes. He stared for a long time, and suddenly began to doubt his ability to distinguish people.

Shadow Four's eyes rarely see wrong people.He has watched Movie Seven many times, but each time the result was blank.

Shadow Seven is like a blank sheet of paper, ridiculously innocent.

Ying Si clenched Mo Yu's handle tightly, raised his hand and pulled down the whip again, before the long whip fell, someone caught the tip of the whip.

"Brother!" Ying Wu snatched the whip from Ying Si's hand, and helped Ying Qi who was pressing the whip marks on his leg, "Brother, why do you keep getting on with him! What's wrong with Xiao Qi? You're just like this, you Why is it so annoying!"

Ying Si stretched out his hand, his eyes were cold: "Give me Mo Yu."

Ying Wu put the dark green whip behind his back and yelled at his brother: "If you give it to you, beat him, I won't give it. Brother, if you are sure that he is a spy, I will kill him for you. If you are not sure, don't There are only so many shadow guards in the palace, do you want to take away all their loyalty?"

"Fei Lian group's strong attack ghost guard, do you know how valuable it is?!"

Ying Si's face was still cold and hard: "It is my duty not to let the palace have any hidden dangers."

Ying Qi took a breath, supported the welt on his leg, and said in a low voice: "Commander, this subordinate will not commit any crimes again."

Ying Si looked at Ying Qi for a while, then took the whip that Ying Wu snatched away and left.

When the door of the residence was closed and Ying Si completely disappeared from sight, Ying Qi heaved a sigh of relief and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Okay, alright, it's alright now that Hades is gone." Ying Wu helped him to sit on the side of the bed, touched from the bedside, took out a hemostatic ointment, and melted it on the candle. Apply Ying Qi to the wound.

Ying Qi silently took the ointment in Ying Wu's hand, turned around and applied it by herself.

"Oh, don't be angry, isn't he just like this." Ying Wu scratched his head, put his arms around Ying Qi's shoulders, and sighed, "I have to go out with His Highness tomorrow night, fortunately I stopped you, otherwise he would beat you so hard Get up, how can I explain to Your Highness?"

"I'm not talking about you. What are you doing looking for your Highness in the middle of the night? You are Li Xia of Gua Tian Li, do you know that we have enmity between Prince Qi's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so don't be careful, what should I do?" I can catch up and save you again and again."

"Xiaoqi, tell me the truth, let's be brothers, if you really have any thoughts, I advise you not to move, you told me, I will find a way to send you out of the house and you can do it yourself. All spies, no matter sooner or later, There is no one who will not be killed by my brother, really, sooner or later."

Ying Qi suddenly turned his head, looked into Ying Wu's eyes earnestly and helplessly, and said, "I will not harm Your Highness."

Ying Wu smiled: "Then it's still a brother. By the way, brother, my brother doesn't like to slap people's legs, he slaps his back. Does he want to slap you crippled?"

Ying Qi said while applying the medicine: "The commander is merciful, I have been punished with salt, and I am still not cured. He didn't want to kill me."

Ying Wu was relieved: "It's fine, I'm going to find my brother, he must be angry with me."

Ying Wu turned over the window and ran away, leaving Ying Qi alone, leaning against the corner of the bed with his knees hugged, his fingertips slowly drawing strokes on the side of the pillow.

The room was silent, and a blue lamp flickered slightly.

Ying Qi sniffed and hugged herself into a ball.

Who can I blame if I exceed the rules, after all, I am still too far away from His Highness.

He got under the quilt and touched his head again, the place His Highness touched still seemed to have a faint smell of black agarwood.

Today His Highness ate the purple potato steamed buns he gave, and even touched his head as a reward.

Ying Qi summed it up and felt that the whip was worth it.Will you do it again next time?

It's rare to sleep well at night, and I always feel that His Highness is touching my head all the time.

In the early morning of the next day, Ying Si was about to leave to escort the old prince to Qinglongya to recuperate and make final arrangements in the execution hall.

The other five ghost guards all obeyed the orders in the hall, and Shadow Four handed them a book that had just been written: "This is the rotation arrangement after I leave, until I come back."

"Yes." The others agreed immediately.

Ying Qi flipped through the rotation schedule, his indifferent expression became uneasy, he raised his head and asked Ying Si: "Commander, do you have any names of subordinates?"

Ying Si had already walked out of the gate of the punishment hall, and said coldly: "You don't need to get close to the prince and prince until I come back."

Ying Qi was holding the roster, his eyes were lost, and his ears were almost drooping.

Suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, and a gentle female voice asked beside him, "You don't seem to want to take a vacation?"

Ying Qi turned around in doubt, and saw a delicate and gentle face, with eyebrows like distant mountains and lovely lips.

Yingyan smiled, her vermilion lips curled up charmingly, and two pear dimples dotted her lips: "If you are so free, why not help me make firearms, Ying Liuxin has drawn a blueprint, I want to do it, you can help me I'll try to hit it off."

Ying Qi had never seen this legendary female ghost guard before, she was stunned for a moment before saying: "Yan, Sister Yan..."

Yingyan squinted her crescent-like eyes: "Yes."

Ying Liu didn't bother to talk to Ying Qi, and stared at Ying Yan with a pair of obsessive eyes, hehe, hehe, giggling.

"Go draw a picture." Ying Yan reluctantly pushed away Ying Liu who was looking foolish, greeted Ying Qi and left.

Ying Liu was left with a downcast face.

Ying Wu sat on the main seat of the punishment hall and cleared his throat: "Ahem, did Ying Liu catch up with Sister Yan today? No."
