Forced love, an inescapable fate
Chapter 23 Confirmation of Plan
Jiang Ci said these words completely on purpose. Although what he said was true, he still wanted to confirm Mu Qingli's amnesia.
Although he couldn't see any clues from Mu Qingli's current behavior, he had always been skeptical about what Mu Qingli said about her amnesia. Moreover, now she wanted to take him with her to escape from the sight of the Qi royal family. This was a completely different attitude from her previous desire to return to Jing State, so before making up his mind, he still had to confirm it.
Being stared at by Jiang Ci with those big eyes that clearly showed black and white, Mu Qingli felt a little ashamed at the moment. Although she definitely didn't do it, who told her to occupy the body of someone who looked exactly like her?
For a moment, she was a little unsure how to answer Jiang Ci's question. These past few days, she'd always felt like a human trafficker luring innocent children. She'd always told Jiang Ci about leaving the Qi Palace, but it seemed like she never understood the boy's true intentions. Was he really willing to escape with her? After all, it was an extremely dangerous undertaking.
I am a real modern person, who was inexplicably transported to this place and cannot stand the rules and constraints of the royal family. But Jiang Ci has lived in the royal family since he was born, both before and now. Although he has spent so many hard years in the Qi Palace, Qi's attitude towards them is much better now. Moreover, he has never left the palace. He doesn't know what the life of ordinary people is like, and he has no means of survival. If I really take him out, not to mention the future, how can they survive now?
And can a modern person like me really survive here? These are all unknowns.
It doesn’t matter if I take risks myself, but it’s different for Jiang Ci.
Mu Qingli thought carefully about the issues that she had not thought about in the past few days, and suddenly felt that she was too arbitrary, and felt that she was imposing her own ideas on others. She felt that she should listen to Jiang Ci's true thoughts. If he really didn't want to go with her, she should respect his ideas.
But if he really didn't want to leave, she would feel a little reluctant to leave him alone in the Qi Palace.
Mu Qingli asked Jiang Ci solemnly:
"Brother, I'm really sorry about what happened before. Although I can't remember what happened before, it's done and I won't deny it. I also told you a few days ago that I will do my best to make up for the mistakes I made before for the rest of my life. But now I want to ask, are you really willing to go with me? Although I don't know why Qi State suddenly changed its attitude towards you and me, it is undeniable that our treatment is much better now than before. If you want to stay, I can understand. If you really don't want to go with me, you can stay. After all, I don't know if I can escape successfully. This matter is indeed very risky, but if I can escape alive, I will come to you again if I have the chance in the future."
Mu Qingli spoke these words very seriously. She stared carefully at the expression on Jiang Ci's face, wanting to know his true thoughts.
While she was looking at Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci was also looking at her.
He was a little surprised by what Mu Qingli said. Although Mu Qingli's idea of escaping disrupted his original plan, how could he let Mu Qingli out of his sight at this time? After all, her existence was crucial to what he would do in the future.
So after confirming that Mu Qingli's idea of escaping was real, he made a decision.
"Sister, I just thought you would blame me. No matter where you go in the future, I will follow you. You can't leave me here alone."
When he said these words, there was mist in his eyes, like a little animal that was about to be abandoned. Mu Qingli felt distressed. Naturally, she couldn't bear to leave Jiang Ci here alone.
"In that case, I'm relieved, brother. I can swear here that no matter what happens in the future, I will never do anything bad to you again. You can try to believe me."
"Well, I believe in Sister. Sister is completely different now. I like Sister now."
Jiang Ci's words made Mu Qingli blush, but what the child said was really pleasing and she liked to listen to it.
The two of them deliberately lowered their voices, and Lan Fang only heard the people inside talking, but she couldn't hear a single word clearly. At this moment, the guard who came to deliver the food came over, and she had to give up.
After taking the food, she originally wanted to go in directly, but thinking of Mu Qingli's warning just now, she had to ask.
"Sixth Prince, Princess, the food is ready, may I come in?"
Hearing the voice, Mu Qingli said lightly.
"come in."
Jiang Ci was also surprised by Lan Fang's change in attitude. Otherwise, he would have known that the top maidservant beside the King of Qi had ignored them in the past few days. Now he was even more looking forward to Mu Qingli's future performance.
After Lan Fang came in, she put down the food, arranged it neatly and neatly, then stood quietly aside, completely different from her behavior from the previous few days.
Mu Qingli and Jiang Ci didn't say anything more and started eating.
Although they were in the wild, the food was cooked to perfection. Although there were not many dishes, each one was delicious and fragrant. After a day's journey, Mu Qingli was already starving. Although she wanted to eat heartily, seeing Jiang Ci, a man, chewing his food slowly, she felt embarrassed and followed suit.
She never invited Lan Fang to have dinner with them like she did a few days ago. This was the rule of this world. If she still lived in this era with the modern way of doing things, she would probably never be able to fit in. What's more, Lan Fang had no good intentions towards her and Jiang Ci, so why should she be polite?
So she ate with peace of mind, and even picked up some food for Jiang Ci from time to time. The two of them were in a very happy mood, but Lan Fang, who was standing aside, didn't look very happy.
After finishing the meal, Mu Qingli originally wanted to go out to digest the food, but then he thought that he might meet some people he didn’t want to see, such as the fifth princess and the third prince, so he gave up the idea of going out and moved around in the tent for a while.
Jiang Ci returned to his tent after dinner.
After returning, he gave orders to the young eunuch who served him.
"Go, send a message now, and take action tonight after everyone goes to bed."
The young eunuch bowed and left, and in an empty corner he made sounds imitating the calls of birds at night. The guards patrolling back and forth did not notice any difference between the new bird calls and the previous ones.
