Chapter 236 - Preparations

In the past, Ah Qing would always sneak out to the kitchen in the middle of the night to find something to eat, so she would stand guard at her door. Afterwards, Ah Qing had been eating randomly for three days and he never went to the kitchen again.

Since then, Xuan Li had developed a habit of carrying little pastries with him. Whenever she met Ah Qing, he would give the small pastries to Ah Qing. Seeing that Ah Qing was satisfied, she would reach out her hand to pat her head.

However, ever since Yin Sheng died, Ah Qing seemed to have distanced herself from him by quite a bit. Seeing the Ah Qing who was currently dressed in black, Xuan Li laughed: "If you want to steal food, you don"t need to pretend like this."

"I was worried that someone would say I"m greedy. In another two years, I will be a young girl. If my reputation is ruined, who would dare to marry me? " Ah Qing said while grinning.

Xuan Li pa.s.sed the pastries on him to Ah Qing, and gently said: "Eat, if there"s no one who wants to marry you, how about I marry you? In the end, Xuan Li did not say these words out loud.

Ah Qing was not eating in a sweet manner, what made her unable to endure it was Xuan Li"s gentle eyes that seemed like water on top of her head. She trembled as she ate a piece, then wiped her mouth.

Seeing Ah Qing"s figure that had ran away in panic and the leftover pastries in her hands, Xuan Li muttered: "Could it be that the pastries are not tasty? It seems like I have to buy it from another store next time. "

When Ah Qing returned, Wei Yuanwei was sitting on the rattan chair with a book in his hands. It was a book that talked about the human geography of the Eastern Chu, and whenever she was interested, he would circle it with his brush.

"I"ve already ordered my men to search. There will be a result within two days." When Ah Qing said this, her eyes glanced at the book, it seemed like Master was planning to escape.

Wei Yuanwei kept the book: "Ah Qing, pay more attention to Princess Xi Ya and Wei Guanshu."

It seemed that Master was going to find flaws on these two women, Ah Qing had already disliked them a long time ago, when she thought of how Master had attacked them, Ah Qing"s eyes flashed with excitement.

Seeing that it was already deep into the night, Wei Yuanwei instructed Ah Qing to rest.

Although there were four burning coals in the room and she was holding a stove in her hand, she still shivered when she got into the quilt.

In the past, whenever Yin Sheng was around, she would always pour hot water into the porcelain vases and place it on her bed to warm her bed. Ah Qing"s thoughts weren"t as meticulous, and naturally wouldn"t worry so much about it.

Wei Yuanwei sighed, "Yin Sheng, I will make those people pay."

Wei Yuanwei"s sleep was extremely shallow, probably because of this body"s habit. Although this body was previously raised in a stable, as she grew up, his appearance and figure became more and more beautiful, and there were probably some bold servants who wanted to bully her.

The door was gently pushed open, and Wei Yuanwei"s body stiffened. She slowly placed his hand under the pillow, and touched the exquisite blade edge.

The person lightly closed the door and slowly approached. Although the person didn"t do anything, Wei Yuanwei could feel that his gaze was fixated on her body.

Wei Yuanwei knew that the person who had arrived was Yun Xie, because the light sandalwood fragrance was lingering on her nose.

Following that, the sound of clothes rustling could be heard. The brocade bed beside her was lifted, and Yun Xie laid down beside her.

Yun Xie reached out his hand to hold Wei Yuanwei in his embrace, causing Wei Yuanwei"s body to stiffen. Fortunately, he didn"t do too much, and only pressed her body tightly against his. His body was very hot, but it was just that her heart was cold, so cold that it could ignore the heat coming from his body.

"I have already ordered someone to look for Ning Zheyan. This king is willing to pay ten thousand gold for the antidote. This king wants a child."

He had never thought of having a child before, after all, he didn"t want anyone to take advantage of his weakness, but now he was panicking. He was worried that he would really lose her, and the women often said that a woman would follow a man with a child, and perhaps she would forgive herself for the sake of a child.

Yun Xie didn"t know when she had this seemingly stupid idea, but as long as he could keep her, even if there was the slightest hope, he would still give it a try.

Wei Yuanwei"s eyes suddenly opened, and what he saw was an endless darkness. She suddenly hesitated a little, wondering if searching for Ning Zheyan at this time would alarm him, since it wasn"t impossible for Ning Zheyan to sell her off for a million gold.

When he woke up in the morning, Yun Xie did not leave, he used his arms to support his head, and quietly looked at Wei Yuanwei. He did not see enough of the elegant and charming face in front of him, and although the previous Wei Yuanwei had a beautiful appearance, he was still rather young, but recently, she had become even more charming, and had become even more captivating.

Yun Xie"s body became hotter and hotter. He got up and put on her robes.

Wei Yuanwei had long since woken up, but she didn"t want to face Yun Xie, so she pretended to be asleep. After Yun Xie left, Wei Yuanwei slowly got up.

Wei Yuanwei picked a cloud brocade dress embroidered with green bamboo and wore it. He tied up her black hair with a casual bun and then used a jade orchid-like hairpin to place it on top of his head. She indifferently looked at the rouge that was piled in front of the copper mirror.

"Mistress, the Prince wants you to go to the Flower Hall for a meal." Ah Qing said from outside the door.

Wei Yuanwei was a little surprised. Normally, Yun Xie would already be in the army camp at this time, yet today was so abnormal.

Wei Yuanwei followed Ah Qing to the Flower Hall. She thought she would see Wei Guanshu and the Princess Xi Ya, but he only saw Yun Xie.

When Wei Yuanwei sat down, Yun Xie personally poured her a bowl of Gui Yuan Eight Treasures Porridge. "It"s good for a woman to drink more of this.

Yun Xie almost completely filled the plate in front of Wei Yuanwei. Wei Yuanwei only ate a few bites in a hurry before she could no longer eat anymore.

Yun Xie frowned slightly, and in the end, she only waved towards the servant.

After the servant took the food out and served it with tea, Wei Yuanwei played with the teacup in her hand and did not even look at Yun Xie once.

"In a few days, the mayor of Mo City that has been bestowed with the imperial seal will come to the Mo City to take office. At that time, I will invite guests to a banquet.

He said that he wanted Wei Yuanwei to arrange the banquet, but it would have been better to let her pa.s.s the time. In truth, Xuan Li had already arranged everything for the banquet, Wei Yuanwei only needed to urge the steward to go through all the things she needed at the banquet.

"Chenqie will not fail her mission." Wei Yuanwei said respectfully.

Yun Xie looked at her, sighed, and then left.
