The Prince Can Always Hear The Secret Servant Chanting The Qingxin Mantra Before Going To Bed

id you dress like this? For me?!” Qi Ci was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
As he pulled Xu Run’s clothes, he shouted: “Why are you trying to look like you miss the old days? Why?!”

The clothes were already ruined with the way Qi Ci pulled on them, causing the cotton in the fabric to tear a lot.

The cotton wool, which had turned gray over the years, reminded Qi Ci of the bitterness of the insults and beatings he had received in the brothel.

Light as a feather, something that had cost only a few taels, was now floating in the air.

The Imperial Guards outside the wing room heard the commotion inside and rushed in as they shouted: “Let go of the Prince!”

Surprisingly, Xu Run didn’t ask for help.
Instead, he shouted angrily at them: “Get out of here! No one is allowed to enter without my order!”

The Imperial Guards froze for a moment, hardly believing what they just heard: “Your Majesty?”

Xu Run scolded: “Are you all deaf?! Get out!”

The Imperial Guards had no other choice than to obey the order as they hurriedly left the wing room.

After venting his anger, Qi Ci calmed down a little.
As he clenched his teeth, he pushed Xu Run away and closed his eyes, trying to quell his anger.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, they were still as bloodshot as before.

Xu Run hurriedly knelt down to grab the cotton wool on the ground with red eyes.
The cotton was stained with dust and was dirty now, but he wasn’t thinking as he grabbed the dirty cotton anyways, stuffing it into the crevasses of his clothes little by little.

Qi Ci looked at him for a while before saying: “Don’t stuff it.
It can’t go back to what it used to be.”

Xu Run’s body was trembling and his hands were shaking as he tried to stuff the cotton into his clothes.
But that only made the holes in his clothes become even bigger and larger, so even more cotton wool flew up.
With a low voice, he said as he kept on stuffing: “Sorry, I’m sorry….”

Qi Ci breathed a sigh, trying to be as calm as possible, but his voice still shaked faintly: “Xu Run, I came to the Capital to look for you, just to tell you one thing.
That day, before you drugged me, I told you that I wanted to discuss something with you.
Do you remember?”

Xu Run nodded his head and said with a dumb voice: “I remember.
I remember everything.”

Qi Ci clenched his teeth fiercely and continued: “But in the end, I couldn’t say it.
Because I fainted right after drinking the tea you poured for me.
That day, I was trying to tell you that I wanted to sell my mother’s relics to send Xu Li to the Capital for treatment, with you.”

Xu Run suddenly stiffened, and the cotton in his clothes flew all over him, in a dirty and annoying way.

So, as long as Xu Run’s evil thoughts appeared a bit later…

“”

Everything would’ve been different?

Xu Run didn’t need to deceive Qi Ci? Nor did he need to fail Qi Ci’s good intentions? And he would’ve still been able to bring his sister to the Capital for treatment?

“Xu Run.” Qi Ci grabbed Xu Run by the collar again, pulling him up on his knees and locking his eyes on him.
Then he squeezed one word after the other from his clenched teeths: “Why did you heartlessly sell me to the brothel? Why?!”

“What?!” Xu Run shouted out loud.

That was the first time he had spoken to Qi Ci so loudly even since meeting him for the first time.

Xu Run then grabbed Qi Ci’s wrist, as if he was afraid Qi Ci would suddenly run away: “What brothel? What are you talking about?!”

Qi Ci punched Xu Run’s face, making his head tilt: “You needed 10 taels of silver to take Xu Li to the Capital, so you sold me to the brothel, in order to save enough money for the journey!”

Xu Run, who was just punched in the face, felt the pain growing on the right side of his face.
But he doesn’t care about that now.
As he turned back his head, he shouted: “Who said that to you?! I just wanted to bring Xu Li to the Capital for medical treatment, so how could I sell you to a brothel?!”

At that, Qi Ci froze.

After all, that was what the Madame had said to him.

Xu Run suddenly remembered something as he hurried to say: “Before I left, I went to meet the Madame of the brothel to sell a pearl and a hairpin for 10 taels of silver.
Yes, since the Madame saw me leaving, she must’ve thought that you’ll be alone, that nobody will care about you.
At that moment, she must have decided to take you away! Qi Ci, believe me, I even sent someone to the Northern border to look for you and bring you back to the Capital, so that I could return the Prince’s identity to you.
Qi Ci, I’m so sorry for what happened to you, but I would never hurt you like this! You have to believe me!”
