Wei Ziyao could not figure it out.
Although the court seemed to be in a stable state now, this undercurrent sent chills down one's spine.
Just as Wei Ziyao was thinking about the court matters, Ki Chien-chul returned.
"Why are you so fast? Did you not eat properly? "
Wei Ziyao knew that he must have come here to wolf down the food.
Ki Chien-chul was a man of few words and did not like to be in the limelight. However, when he was in trouble, he would not hesitate.
After he returned, he first looked at the bowl on the table to make sure that Wei Ziyao had finished her noodles. Only then did he sit down beside her, reassured.
"Don't worry about Wei Shuai. I went to the palace today …"
"You went to the palace?" Wei Ziyao whipped her head around.
"Mm. I went to the palace today and saw Wei Shuai. Although we didn't speak, he's doing well."
"Then where is he? He's an outsider. How can the palace keep an outsider like him?"
In truth, Wei Ziyao had planned to find an opportunity to enter the palace in the name of visiting the Empress Dowager to investigate.
However, who would have thought that Ki Chien-chul, who had told Wei Ziyao not to enter the palace rashly, would go there first?
"He's in the palace guards' barracks, but he's clearly being watched by the Xuanyuan Guards."
That made sense.
The palace guards protected the palace. The barracks were located at the outermost perimeter. That was the only place with an outsider. It made sense that Wei Heng was imprisoned there.
"I wanted to go over and say something, but Wei Shuai gave me a look, so I didn't."
"Thank goodness you didn't!" Wei Ziyao was about to die from anger.
"Didn't we agree to greet each other? How could you just … "
Before Wei Ziyao could finish, Ki Chien-chul pulled her into his arms.
"Because I'm your man."
Oh! What a manly line.
"I know that in your heart, women can also be outstanding. Women are not weaker than men in any way. But I'm your man. There are some storms, and I should be the one shielding you."
Ki Chien-chul's words made Wei Ziyao's eyes a little wet.
Even though she was a woman, she still had her own thoughts.
She was powerful, but she never thought of herself as a man. She was a woman, and she wanted everything that a woman wanted.
For example … a wide and reliable embrace.
But just as she was greedy for this warmth, Wei Ziyao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her limbs and bones.
She was in so much pain that her vision went black.
Wei Ziyao had been injured and even tortured.
Even the pain he felt when he was tortured was not even a thousandth of the pain he felt now.
This …
Although it was only for a moment, that feeling made her subconsciously want to run away from Ki Chien-chul.
It was too painful.
She slowly pushed Ki Chien-chul away. "I … I want to take a shower first."
"Then let's go together?" Ki Chien-chul looked at Wei Ziyao with a very passionate gaze.
Wei Ziyao had already received the signal.
They had not had that kind of interaction these days.
There had been too many things happening these days.
Now that the Wei Family's reputation had plummeted, the young master had killed an official of the imperial court, and Wei Shuai had been demoted and imprisoned, they were not in the mood to do those things.
But today, after knowing that Wei Shuai was fine, and that Ki Chien-chul was also doing his best to deal with him, everything did not seem so oppressive anymore.
