1442 Why Would You Want To Leave Me

Ji’er woke up slowly as she changed and had her breakfast. After that, she picked up her sword and went to the courtyard to practice her sword fighting skills.

Everything went well and she seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness from last night.

It was at this time that Yaoyao came running in breathlessly.

She was surprised to see her little sister practicing her sword fighting skills so calmly.

“Ji’er, why are still practicing your sword fighting at a time like this?”

Ji’er made a pretty sword-fighting move and turned back to glance at Yaoyao. “I practice my sword fighting every day at this time. What’s the problem?”

Yaoyao facepalmed and sighed. “I know that. I’m trying to tell you that Big Bro Lil Qi is leaving the Palace. Don’t you know that?”

Clang!

The sword in Ji’er’s hand fell to the ground.

“What did you just say?” She looked at her older sister blankly.

Yaoyao was frightened by the look on her face and quickly went forward to hold her. She blamed herself as she said, “I thought you knew about it. I had no idea you didn’t know. Didn’t Big Bro Lil Qi tell you about this?”

“No, he didn’t,” Ji’er said, hurt.

Yaoyao looked at the lost look on her sister’s face and was suddenly regretting telling her about this.

She had thought Ji’er would be the first to know that he was leaving the Palace as Big Bro Lil Qi and her younger sister stayed in the same Palace, but he did not inform her at all.

No wonder Ji’er could still continue practicing calmly.

There was no way Ji’er could be that calm when the Big Bro Lil Qi she had depended on so much would do something as huge as leaving the Palace.

“Forget about it. Big Bro Lil Qi would need to get married and have children soon. Leaving the Palace is just a matter of time,” Yaoyao consoled her.

Ji’er glanced at her. Even her older sister was saying the same thing, that Lil Qi had to get married and have children.

She suddenly pushed Yaoyao away and ran outside.

Yaoyao was shocked and quickly chased behind.

“Where are you going, Ji’er?”

At the imperial study.

Long Yang was discussing something with someone when Ji’er suddenly came barging in.

Long Yang frowned when he saw the pale look on his little daughter’s face. He was about to walk out from behind the table when he saw her walk toward Chu Qi.

“I heard you’re leaving the Palace?”

Chu Qi’s hands, which were placed at his sides quietly clenched when he saw Ji’er’s fair, snowy face. “Yes.”

“Why?” Ji’er asked.

Chu Yi, Long Xuan, Zhao Qian, and the rest were in the imperial study. They were a little astonished to see this.

Zhao Qian was the first to burst out asking Chu Qi, “Didn’t you tell the little princess?”

Chu Qi was silent, but his actions said everything.

“This is too much of you, Lil Qi. Leaving the Palace is a serious matter. Why didn’t you tell the little princess?” Chu Yi frowned and asked.

He had a daughter too and when he saw how sad Ji’er was, it reminded him of his daughter and it pained him.

“This is a last-minute decision.” Chu Qi finally explained as he watched Ji’er’s stubborn little face.

However, Ji’er shook her head to say, “No, it isn’t. You made the decision last night, didn’t you? It’s because you’re about to get married, which is the reason why you’re leaving the Palace.”

Chu Qi sighed. “You can put it that way.”

Ji’er widened her eyes and sad tears fell on her cheeks. “It’s true that I don’t like the idea of marrying someone, but if you’re adamant about getting married, I won’t stop you, but why would you want to leave me?”

The expression on Chu Qi’s face changed. He was about to go to her when Long Yang walked over.

He held Ji’er in his arms but said nothing. All he did was lift his hand to wipe away the tears from her face.

Ji’er hugged her father around the waist and cried as she begged. “Father, please don’t let Lil Qi leave me… As long as you promise me this, he would not be able to leave the Palace…”
