Chapter 57 I'm going to kill you!
"You mean the reason you said I was injured is because you caught Meng Jun's eye, and that you dragged me down with you?"
Qi Min spoke calmly, picking up where Ling Yi left off.
"Your Majesty knew? I'm sorry I didn't inform you of this beforehand."
Ling Yi was a little surprised that Qi Min knew about this, but then he thought that Meng Jun must have told him when he was causing trouble for Qi Min, so he continued to explain the whole story to Qi Min in detail.
"Meng Jun had taken a liking to me and wanted me to be his female servant, but just before my father and I had agreed on the terms to be assigned to him,
"We were matched, so your injury is my responsibility. I should have told you beforehand so you wouldn't have gone to the appointment alone."
Ling Yi's voice was low and deep, filled with guilt and self-reproach. As he spoke, his gaze towards Qi Min was full of apology.
Qi Min listened quietly to Ling Yi's words without interrupting. Only after Ling Yi finished speaking did he speak in a calm tone.
"Actually... you received incorrect information."
Qi Min spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Ling Yi's fingers, which were clenched together in guilt.
Ling Yi was taken aback by Qi Min's words and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'misinformation', Lord Xiong?"
"The injuries on my body were not actually inflicted by Meng Jun."
Qi Min looked at Ling Yi, speaking calmly and indifferently.
"But... according to Chen Xuan's investigation, it was Meng Jun who did it..."
Ling Yi asked with some doubt, and said in a surprised tone that Chen Xuan's investigation results showed that Meng Jun was the one who did it.
"When did Chen Xuan's investigation come to fruition? Was it this morning, after those two female soldiers left?"
Qi Min interrupted him, stating his position with certainty.
"How could the lord know..."
Ling Yi frowned, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
"Because I'm the one who told them!"
Qi Min suddenly smiled and answered Ling Yi in a lighthearted tone. He hadn't intended to smile, but Ling Yi's expression was so amusing that he couldn't help himself.
"What exactly does the lord mean? Were the injuries on your body inflicted by Meng Jun?"
Ling Yi frowned even more as he looked at Qi Min, who had suddenly started laughing, and continued to press for answers with a look of utter confusion in his eyes.
"Yes, Meng Jun did hit me, but..."
Qi Min paused, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"but what?"
Ling Yi listened to Qi Min's unfinished words and pressed for an answer with a hint of urgency. Qi Min's words were too enigmatic, and he never spoke clearly, leaving Ling Yi with no choice but to continue asking.
Based on Chen Xuan's investigation, Ling Yi was already quite certain that Qi Min's injuries were inflicted by Meng Jun.
But judging from Qi Min's words, it seems that the real perpetrator was not Meng Jun.
"But... I'm sleepy, you should rest with me."
Qi Min answered Ling Yi very seriously, with a calm expression on his face.
"A mighty lord!"
Ling Yi felt a bit annoyed again. It was the same when she was talking to Qi Min before. Even though they were talking and things were going well, Qi Min would always change the subject and not answer directly.
"Alright~ The matter hasn't even started yet, so I really can't say anything now. But I promise, after the trial is over..."
Once things are settled and everything is clear, I will tell you everything, okay?
Qi Min tilted his head slightly, looking intently at Ling Yi, his tone gentle, the last syllable rising in pitch, carrying a hint of coaxing.
But in Ling Yi's eyes, Qi Min's behavior was just him acting cute.
"Alright, then we'll listen to the Lord. We'll talk about it after this is over... Lord, stop looking at me. Aren't you sleepy? Lord, go and rest."
Hearing his gentle tone and seeing Qi Min still looking at him, expecting his reply, Ling Yi's frustration dissipated without her realizing it, and she could only reply with a "yes".
Seeing that Qi Min was staring intently at him, he had no choice but to change the subject and urge him to rest.
Qi Min was secretly pleased to see him agree. Ling Yi really did like this approach; it seemed he wanted Ling Yi to feel the same way about him.
It's not impossible. He probably didn't use the right method before. Now that he's found the right method, success is just around the corner!
"Okay, then come over here and rest with me~"
A pleasant smile appeared on Qi Min's face as he urged Ling Yi to come up in a lighthearted tone.
"I……"
Before Ling Yi could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
"Where is he! Where is that male insect!"
An extremely angry roar came from outside the door, interspersed with many voices of persuasion and concern.
Ling Yi frowned, got up to open the door and check the situation, but was stopped by Qi Min, who had already recognized the voice outside the door as Meng Jun's.
Qi Min's eyes were indifferent. Then he called Ling Yi over and helped him up to sit on the bed.
"My dear wife, no matter what happens later, you must protect me and not let any danger get near me."
Qi Min grabbed Ling Yi's hand and leaned against him, looking completely dependent on him.
Ling Yi was first taken aback by Qi Min's intimate address, and then when he heard him say in a somewhat sticky voice that he wanted to protect him, he immediately felt a tingling sensation on his skin.
Ling Yi suppressed the discomfort that arose in her heart due to Qi Min's sticky tone, and was about to speak in confusion when the door to the ward was suddenly and rudely opened.
"boom!"
"Qi Min...you're here, I'm going to kill you!!"
The male insect, also dressed in a hospital gown, looked at Qi Min sitting on the hospital bed at the door of the ward and was about to rush over in anger.
This male insect was none other than Meng Jun, who had just awakened due to his B-grade physique.
Even though Qi Min favored him by increasing the dosage, his metabolism of the drug was still much faster than that of ordinary male insects.
When Meng Jun woke up, he found himself in the hospital, with Jun Ci taking care of him beside him, clutching his forehead which was still throbbing. He quickly remembered what had happened to him.
She asked the female insect that was taking care of her, and learned that all the male insects that were injured yesterday were being treated in the hospital. She then hurriedly asked Qi Min if he had been captured.
However, his queen did not know Qi Min, nor did she know the specifics of the matter. She only said that she had received a notice to come and take care of her male master.
Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Meng Jun ignored his advice, forced himself out of bed, opened the door, and saw the female soldiers guarding outside. He quickly went up to ask if Qi Min had been captured.
But Meng Jun received news that made him even angrier: the female guard actually said that he was the one who hurt Qi Min.
They also said that because the relevant evidence is still under investigation, they received orders from their superiors not to allow him to leave the ward until the trial begins.
