Chapter 105 Delaying time
"Die'er..." Ji Anni's nose felt sore and she wanted to cry. Die'er's smile and trust made her feel even more heartbroken.
"Your Majesty." Hua Rong also came forward and urged, "Your Majesty, if you don't leave now, it will be too late."
Ji Anni sniffed and tried to hold back her tears. She turned her head and glanced at Huarong. No matter when, she saw Huarong's face was always calm. Suddenly, she recalled the story that De told her. On the execution platform, Huarong was so calm when she swung the knife at her father's neck. There must be nothing in the world that could make her so confused, right?
There was no time to think about it, Die'er gently pushed Ji Anni's shoulder, as if urging Ji Anni to leave quickly.
"Die'er..." Ji Anni held Die'er's hand tightly again and said two words solemnly, "Thank you."
Thank you for your trust in me and for giving me the opportunity to make up for it. Although I don't know what I can do to help you now, I am willing to do my best.
In my original world, everyone knows that masters and servants are a backward feudal system;
But here, the strict hierarchy is the old rule that everyone adheres to.
I know I don't have the power to change this, but I also can't just watch these evil things happen before my eyes and remain indifferent.
Die'er, I know there is little I can do for you, but as long as you are willing to believe in me, give me courage and encouragement, I think... maybe I can do more.
It’s hard to describe what kind of power supported Ji Anni and Die’er as they ran towards the emperor’s bedroom.
As long as she could make up for the mistake she made impulsively, as long as there was a glimmer of hope to pull Dier out of the predicament, Ji Annie was willing to try.
Along the way, Ji Anni clenched her right fist tightly. In her empty fist, it seemed as if a flame was burning fiercely - that was the life and heart that Die'er had given her.
The smile Die'er showed her had already gathered into an invisible force, making Ji Anni's every step forward firm. Die'er... Die'er, don't worry, I won't let you down... I want to save you, I will save you, just wait for me to save you...
Ji Anni walked too fast and Die'er seemed unable to keep up with her pace. She almost fell down several times, but she did not pull Ji Anni up and kept trying hard to catch up with her.
At that moment, life and death seemed no longer important.
Whether this move is a blessing or a curse, whether this journey is safe or dangerous, it no longer matters.
When Ji Anni hugged her and comforted her, when Ji Anni asked her if she was willing to believe her, when she put her heart in Ji Anni's hands and was willing to follow her, Die'er found her life goal.
My lady, Die'er will follow you all her life.
No matter where you go, Die'er will follow you to the death.
As long as Die'er can still take one step, she will definitely take one step with the Goddess; as long as Die'er can still raise her head, she will definitely look in the direction of the Goddess; as long as Die'er's heart is still beating, she will definitely pray for the Goddess's blessing and peace.
About five or six steps behind the two of them, Hua Rong followed quietly.
Unlike Ji Anni's determination and Die'er's gratitude, Hua Rong's eyes were still very calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water that had been stagnant for a thousand years. She was not moved, resentful, treacherous, or jealous... She was like a puppet without any emotional fluctuations, just quietly watching the backs of Ji Anni and Die'er.
But suddenly, Ji Anni's pace of rushing forward slowly slowed down.
They saw a group of people walking towards them.
Dier suddenly looked up curiously, and was so frightened that her knees trembled and she knelt on the side of the road.
It was not for any other reason, but because the person in the lead was wearing a dragon robe - it was the emperor himself.
She had intended to rush directly to the emperor's bedroom, but she had run into him halfway. This sudden situation made Hua Rong take a deep breath, but she quickly regained her composure, hurriedly took two steps forward, came behind Ji Anni, and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't panic. I think the emperor has just left the court and wants to go to the right courtyard to see your new home. And Noble Concubine An and the Queen Mother will probably be on this road soon. Your Majesty only needs to delay a little until Noble Concubine An and the Queen Mother arrive, and all plans can go on as usual."
But at this time, the emperor was less than fifty meters away from Ji Anni and the others. In such a desperate situation, Ji Anni's mind went blank. How could she think of any way to delay time?
Just when Ji Anni's heart was beating faster and faster, her hand was gently held again.
When she looked down, she saw Die'er staring at her quietly.
Their eyes met, and Ji Anni was encouraged again. Her heartbeat gradually returned to normal. Die'er's calm gaze was like a tranquilizer that quickly calmed Ji Anni down. A wave of heat rose from her palm again, and Die'er's heart seemed to be beating in her palm. Don't worry, Die'er... I know what to do.
By the time Ji Anni had completely recovered her composure, the emperor had already arrived in front of her.
Ji Anni bowed like a concubine and said, "Long live the emperor."
Die'er and Huarong both lowered their heads and knelt on the ground.
The emperor stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Ji, why are you here?"
Ji Anni said, "Zhao Ji made a big mistake today and is waiting for someone to punish her. In order to show my sincerity in admitting my mistake, I am here to welcome the person who is going to punish Zhao Ji."
The emperor was not only surprised but also curious when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "What mistake did you make, and who are you waiting for?"
Ji Anni was waiting for this sentence, she smiled faintly and replied: "If the emperor is curious, why not wait with Zhao Ji."
This was the delaying tactic that Ji Anni came up with in a hurry. She knew that she was not good at talking, and was afraid that her fabricated excuses would not only fail to get by, but also might backfire, so she simply said nothing and just waited here. As long as she waited for Concubine An and the Queen Mother to arrive, she could act according to Hua Rong's instructions.
The emperor did not think the matter was serious, and just thought it was some kind of trick played by Ji Anni. He asked, "What is it that even I cannot tell you?"
"It's not that I can't tell you, it's that I can't tell you now." If I tell you too early, wouldn't it be like Ji Anni complaining to the emperor?
"This is interesting." The emperor simply put his hands behind his back and stood with Ji Anni.
But this is not a long-term solution. Hua Rong raised her head with some concern and winked at Ji Anni, as if reminding her to try another method. Ji Anni understood Hua Rong's hint, but her mind was in a mess. Dealing with the emperor was hard enough for her. How could she spare the energy to think of other methods?
Fortunately, God helped her a lot. Just when she was worried, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people on the curved bridge not far away. Although they were more than a hundred meters away, she had an accurate premonition - they were coming. Concubine An and the Queen Mother had finally arrived.
