The weak prince's queen
Chapter 138 Fighting Side by Side
When it was time to go to sleep, Chu Xiyue lazily leaned against the bed and gently rubbed her temples. The fatigue of the day made her feel a little sleepy. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that soaking her feet before bed could help relax the body and mind and relieve fatigue. So she opened her red lips and called softly, "Qiu Ling, Qiu Ling, bring me some water for soaking my feet."
Shortly after she finished speaking, a door opened softly. Chu Xiyue couldn't help but feel puzzled, thinking to herself, "Hey, why is Qiu Ling so quick today? She's never this quick normally." Curious, she slowly raised her head and looked toward the door. However, when she saw who it was, she was startled. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she asked with a hint of surprise, "Why are you here? Where's Qiu Ling?"
A petite figure swiftly approached. It was the maid, Dong'er. She bowed respectfully and replied softly, "Your Highness, I see that Sister Qiu Ling has been working hard all day, so I took the initiative to let her rest. I will keep watch tonight and serve you." Dong'er nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation and trepidation in her eyes.
Chu Xiyue smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
After receiving permission, Dong'er immediately got to work. In a moment, a basin of steaming hot water was brought to Chu Xiyue. Carefully, she placed the basin on the ground, gently lifted Chu Xiyue's feet, and slowly lowered them into the water. Next, Dong'er took a nearby towel, soaked it, wrung it out, and began carefully wiping Chu Xiyue's ankles and calves. Then, with her fair, tender hands, she scooped up warm water and slowly poured it over Chu Xiyue's feet, her movements gentle and skillful.
Chu Xiyue stared quietly at the focused and serious little girl before her, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. Seeing the beads of sweat on Dong'er's forehead and her wholehearted devotion to her, she couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I can do it myself."
Dong'er, who was concentrating on washing Chu Xiyue's feet, suddenly raised her head when she heard this. Her eyes were slightly red, her lips trembling slightly, and she said in a slightly choked voice: "Sister Yue... don't you need me anymore?" After she finished speaking, tears were already rolling in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any time.
Chu Xiyue's face turned pale instantly, her hands trembled unconsciously, and her voice was filled with panic: "Dong'er, it's not what you imagined at all! Don't think that way! You will always be my most beloved sister."
Dong'er's eyes widened, tears welling up in them. She choked and spoke again, "But Sister Yue, why did you push me away so hard? And you refused to tell me anything. Is there a secret between us that can't be shared?"
Chu Xiyue quickly waved her hands in denial, "Oh, no! Really not, Dong'er, what are you talking about? Did you misunderstand me?"
However, Dong'er was not convinced at all. She bit her lip and continued, "Sister, don't hide it from me anymore. Mo Feng told me everything a long time ago, and now I know everything!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiyue couldn't help but frown and muttered with a hint of complaint: "This Mo Feng is really unreliable! He's so loose-lipped and can't keep anything to himself."
At this time, Dong'er hurriedly explained: "Sister, this is not Mo Feng's fault. I kept asking him and pestered him so much that he had no choice but to tell me."
Looking at Dong'er's stubborn face, Chu Xiyue sighed deeply. She knew she could no longer hide this matter. So, she walked over, took Dong'er's hand, and said earnestly, "Dong'er, what I and Xiao Yichen are doing is actually very dangerous. If I let you get involved, if something unexpected happens, I'll have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life. That's why I've made up my mind to hide this from you. I hope to protect you and prevent you from getting hurt even in the slightest."
Dong'er raised her adorable little face and said firmly to Sister Yue, "Actually, Sister Yue, please don't underestimate me! Ever since you traveled here from that distant, dreamlike place, every little thing we've experienced together has been deeply engraved in my heart! Unconsciously, I've already come to regard you as someone closer than my own sister! Therefore, no matter what difficulties, dangers, and crises lie ahead, I won't be afraid at all! Moreover, I especially hope to contribute my own strength to the great cause that Sister Yue wants to accomplish, even if it's just a tiny bit! I promise you that I won't mess things up, please believe me!"
Hearing Dong'er's sincere and heartwarming words, Chu Xiyue felt her heart warm and her eyes suddenly moistened. Her beautiful eyes were now sparkling with tears, and she responded with a slightly trembling voice: "Dong'er, being able to meet you, get to know you, and know you is truly the greatest fortune of my life! It is also because of your constant companionship and support that I have found a safe haven to rely on in this completely unfamiliar and unknown ancient world. I was wrong to push you away like that before, and I apologize to you here! From now on, let's never separate again. We must work hand in hand and work together to defeat those hateful villains!"
When Dong'er heard the news, her heart surged with joy like a flood, tears of excitement streaming down her face. Her body trembled slightly as she nodded frantically, choking back tears as she replied, "Yes, yes, yes, that's great! It's truly great! As long as I can always be by your side, Sister Yue, no matter what difficulties or dangers we face, Dong'er will not be afraid!"
Before she could finish her words, Chu Xiyue opened her warm and powerful arms with a smile on her face, and hugged Dong'er tightly in her arms like a pair of wings.
Chu Xiyue gently stroked Dong'er's back and whispered softly: "You silly girl, you will always be my most beloved sister, the most intimate and important baby in my heart!" Feeling the warmth and care in Chu Xiyue's arms, Dong'er's mood gradually calmed down, but tears of happiness still sparkled in her eyes.
At this time, Dong'er raised her head, looked at Chu Xiyue's beautiful face, and added with a smile: "Sister Yue is also the best sister in Dong'er's mind, no doubt about it!"
Chu Xiyue was amused by Dong'er's innocent and cute words and giggled. Then she suggested enthusiastically, "In that case, why don't we two sisters sleep together tonight? I can just tell you about the interesting things that happened between the prince and me recently."
Dong'er was immediately excited when she heard it, and clapped her hands and cheered: "Great! Great! I love listening to Sister Yue tell stories the most!"
So, the two of them walked towards the room hand in hand, talking and laughing, ready to spend a warm and wonderful night together.
