Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 328: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (End)

Shi Qi originally thought that she would wake up to the next world, but when she woke up she realized that the bracelet the child gave her was not just a small feather, but a life he exchanged for his tail.

Su Yi was sentenced to be burned at the stake, and it was a great blessing that his entire clan was not executed. Su Xiaoxiao was expelled from the palace and had nothing to do with Xuanyuan Wuhen anymore.

I heard that she later became mentally retarded and went to Nan'an Temple to become a nun.

Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous again, Xuanyuan Wuhen has also come to his senses and is particularly concerned about government affairs, no longer interested in string music.

With Shi Qi as the prime minister, the two of them quickly worked together to eliminate corruption in the court.

Lu Ziqi opened a big restaurant in collaboration with Liao Zhi's restaurant. Business was booming, and Xiaojiu was raised by him to be plump and very cute.

Zhao Chang also benefited from this. He became a fourth-rank official at a young age and had his own mansion. He was extremely happy.

These are all things that make people happy, except Xiang Ling, who has not woken up in two years.

Liao Zhi said that Xiang Linghu's pill was damaged and cracked, and he was like a mortal. He was also struck by lightning, and there was no good part of his body. He could only hang on for a breath. As for when he would wake up, he was...

There is no fixed number.

……

It's another picturesque winter, and this year's winter is particularly cold.

As soon as Shi Qi came down from court, Zhao Chang followed behind him happily.

"Master Shi, please wait for me. I will take you back home." The man who spoke had changed a lot in the past two years.

He has shed his youthful immaturity and now has an extraordinary appearance, is full of vigor and vitality, and is a handsome man. He is the dream of thousands of girls in the city.

There were too many matchmakers suggesting marriages for him, but he didn't like any of the princes, nobles, or rich girls. Instead, he often hung around Shi Qi.

Shi Qi paused, looked back at the high-spirited young man behind him, and shook his head: "No, I still have to take care of A Ling. It's very cold today, he is afraid of the cold, I need to give him more bedding and a new stove."

It's not that she is unaware of Zhao Chang's feelings, but no matter whether she has spoken directly or declined politely, she has tried to persuade him, but he just pretended not to understand and never pointed it out.

"Then I'll accompany you today. You never let me look after him before, and I feel bad about it. You don't have any servants in your yard, so I'll help you move the stove." Zhao Chang said with a smile.

Shi Qi paused slightly, but still nodded.

……

Just like that, the two of them arrived at Shi Mansion.

Xuanyuan Wuhen gave her a new mansion, but she didn't go there because it was close to Xiang Ling.

After he fell into a deep sleep, Shi Qi took Xiang Ling to his home and took care of him personally.

It has been exactly two years today.

And today, because of Zhao Chang's visit, the flowers in the yard seem to be more lively and vivid.

"Lord Shi's mansion is still exactly the same as before. It is truly extremely clean. Without further ado, I'll go see the Immortal Lord." With Shi Qi's permission, Zhao Chang entered the inner room first.

I had thought that the house of a sick person would be filled with the stench of decay and herbs, but when I entered the house, I was surprised to find bursts of fresh fragrance, without a trace of decay.

Going further inside, he finally saw someone lying quietly on the bed.

Apart from the horrific scars and holes on his body, Xiang Ling was well taken care of by Shi Qi.

With clean inner clothes, white fingers and slightly rosy cheeks, he looked like an injured person who was asleep.

"Sir, I see that the Immortal Master is about to wake up." Zhao Chang stood up and wanted to help Xiang Ling change his clothes.

Shi Qi closed the door and shook his head: "No, Zhao Chang, I'm already very grateful that you came to see him. I'll take care of him. Go and move the stove."

Zhao Chang was clumsy and she was mainly afraid that he would kill the child.

"Ah? Oh, okay... I'll be back soon." Zhao Chang scratched his head in confusion and ran out of the house quickly.

After a while, a new stove was brought in.

Shi Qi was wiping Xiang Ling's face and body, very carefully and cautiously. Zhao Chang was burning firewood in the back, occasionally chatting with them.

"Sir, if your house really can't work, please hire a few guards and mother. You are busy with official business and taking care of the Immortal Lord all day long. It must be so tiring." Zhao Chang was choked by the smoke from the firewood and continued to speak.

Shi Qi calmly lifted Xiang Ling's finger and helped him trim his long nails: "No need, if this is all I can do, why would I be the prime minister?"

Xiang Ling's body was still as stiff and cold as ever, with no sign of waking up at all.

Shi Qi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt a little sad.

It seemed that the child would not wake up this year, but it didn’t matter, she would always be by his side no matter what.

"Sir, what if... the Immortal Master never wakes up? You have taken care of him all his life. If the Immortal Master knew about this, he would be sad." Zhao Chang suddenly said this while adding firewood with his back to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi paused holding the towel, slightly annoyed: "Master Zhao, you have crossed the line."

Zhao Chang looked at the flames burning in front of him, full of hope and vitality, and suddenly something burst out in his heart.

He turned around to look at Shi Qi's thin figure, and then at the blazing flames.

At such a young and energetic age, you should have a better future and be happy.

"Sir, have you ever thought about whether the Immortal Lord would be happy if he knew that you work so hard for him every day? Yes, I know, he loves you and you love him. But precisely because he loves you, he should hope... that you live a happy and healthy life." Zhao Chang said.

Shi Qi listened to Zhao Chang's roundabout way of speaking, and seemed to understand, but he felt that something was not right with Zhao Chang, and was afraid that he would talk about a topic that he did not want to face.

Shi Qi said coldly: "That's enough, Zhao Chang, thank you so much for today, we are going to rest, please go back."

This time, Zhao Chang did not hesitate. He put down the firewood in his hand and slowly walked towards Shi Qi.

She said in a gentle voice, "Shi Qi, I'm sorry, it's very abrupt to say this, but I've thought about it for a long time and I don't want to hide it anymore. I... like you and admire you. In my life... I've never had such a lively and powerful woman infect me."

"I don't want you to suffer. I don't want you to be alone and helpless for the rest of your life."

Shi Qi was about to get angry, but the person on the bed seemed to move his fingertips slightly. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

As if he wanted to prove something, Shi Qi did not interrupt Zhao Chang, but urged him anxiously: "Go on, quickly!"

Zhao Chang was stunned. Seeing that Shi Qi didn't interrupt him, he felt even more hopeful. His whole face was filled with a smile. "I said... Shi Qi, I like you! I want to marry you, take care of you and accompany you for the rest of my life."

"Of course, I also know your feelings for the Immortal Lord, I will take good care of you..." Zhao Chang said, getting closer and closer to Shi Qi.

But this time Shi Qi suddenly jumped up and interrupted Zhao Chang: "That's enough, you don't have to say anymore."

Just now, not only did the child's fingers move, but his eyelashes also trembled, which means... he is about to wake up!

Zhao Chang was confused, while Shi Qi ran out quickly.

"Shi Qi, you haven't replied to me yet..." Zhao Chang turned around and chased after him.

"Come back! I'm going to find Liao Zhi. Xiang Ling is awake! Xiang Ling is awake!!!"

The falling snow made Zhao Chang sober up instantly.

Looking at the receding figure, I suddenly felt lost.

Strange, why did he wake up... suddenly?

……

Half a month later.

One morning, Shi Qi was lying on the bed, squinting her eyes and enjoying the service of the handsome man. The grapes fed by the child were so sweet.

"Okay, the weather is still cold, you are not allowed to eat anymore." The man gently put down the fruit plate, his handsome face made people in a good mood.

"Okay, A Ling, eat the last one. Otherwise, I won't go to court." Shi Qi turned sideways, hugged the man's thigh, and spoke in a soft tone.

The man's body stiffened, and he coughed to cover up his blushing face: "Haven't you been to court for half a month? Xuanyuan Wuhen's reminder letter has been sent to me."

Shi Qi's mouth froze, and he looked up to the sky and howled: "I really want to give up..."

"Hmm? What are you putting on?" Xiang Ling picked up Shi Qi and sat her at the dressing table, while he patiently washed her face and tied her hair.

Shi Qi looked closely at the infuriating face in front of him and couldn't get enough of it: "Haha, it's nothing, A Ling's eyebrows are really beautiful."

"But A Ling, how did you wake up that day? Liao Zhi said you would need at least five more years. Did you hear my patient call?" Shi Qi blinked, leaned in and pecked the man's face hard, with a playful look on his face.

Xiang Ling's eyes flickered: "Well, yes, yes, I missed you so much that I woke up."

Are you kidding? If he doesn’t wake up, his woman will be taken away!

That stinky boy Zhao Chang should have been killed right from the beginning!

However, it's so embarrassing... he doesn't want to admit it.

Shi Qi laughed and said jokingly, "Oh, really?"

"Okay, sir, please go to court quickly. You are the prime minister of a country now, and you have a lot of government affairs to take care of." Xiang Ling picked up the only fox fur coat and wrapped Shi Qi tightly.

"What's so hard about dealing with political affairs? Tsk, you'd better stay at home and wait for me to deal with you..." Shi Qi kissed Xiang Ling again and got on the carriage with a reluctant look.

"You little girl, you have no respect for your parents..." Xiang Ling blushed and muttered softly while touching her moist lips.
