Chapter 240 -"s SacrificeThe moonlight was like water and the room was quiet. There was only the crackling sound of coal in the brazier.
Wei Yuanwei used the peach wood comb to comb his hair open, and when she tilted his head slightly, he saw Yun Xie"s attentive gaze.
She put down the comb and walked over gracefully. "Why is Your Highness looking at me like that?"
Yun Xie always had thousands of things on her mind, and he would never say them out loud. He only smiled and said, "My beautiful princess, Feng Hua Jue Dai, this king likes to see you."
Wei Yuanwei felt that Yun Xie was a little strange, and she gently said while lying modestly in Yun Xie"s embrace: "My relationship with Yin Sheng is deep, Your Highness knows, if she suddenly leaves, my heart would inevitably feel a little sad. Your Highness is the closest person to me, so I will naturally vent my anger at you for losing Yin Sheng, but through Yin Sheng"s death, I will also understand another principle.
Her voice was extremely soft, like the moonlight that was being poured inside a room at this moment. Yun Xie"s heart was moved, and he hugged her tightly: "Alright, Princess, don"t come out and threaten this duke in the future.
Wei Yuanwei muttered: "We will never separate for all eternity."
Yun Xie had indeed withdrawn all the guards at the side palace hall, but Xuan Li was still standing guard near the side hall. He had said that he was trying to help Wei Yuanwei with the banquet, but Wei Yuanwei had actually understood that Yun Xie was only trying to make him watch his carefully, and it would take a few more days before he could fully let go of the grudges in his heart. It was just that Wei Yuanwei didn"t have much time left.
Today, Wei Yuanwei was going to the Sprite House to meet Ning Zheyan, and seeing the situation, it was impossible for him to walk out of the main entrance.
"No matter what, I have to go out today. Even if I have to climb, I have to crawl out." Wei Yuanwei said as he rubbed his forehead.
"Sigh, Xuan Li this stubborn fellow is actually standing there motionlessly." Ah Qing stomped her feet in anger, she had thought of various ways to lure Xuan Li away, but that fellow was just like a statue.
Crawl? Ah Qing suddenly thought of something and a difficult expression appeared on her face. "Actually, it"s not like there"s no other way. It"ll depend on whether or not Princess HuYang is willing."
Ah Qing whispered a few sentences into Wei Yuanwei"s ear, and Wei Yuanwei"s forehead slightly wrinkled. Right now, this was the only way.
Wei Yuanwei changed into a man"s outfit and jumped out the back window. When she went through the bamboo forest and saw the scene in front of her, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Was this the back door that Ah Qing mentioned? Wei Yuanwei gritted his teeth as he crawled out of the dog hole. Originally, she was wearing a moon-white robe, but after going through so much, her clothes were covered in dust. She stood up and patted her clothes with his hands, causing the dust to fly up and cause her to cough a few times.
Ah Qing was originally the one who was pestering Xuan Li to chat, but he did not know that Xuan Li"s hearing was extremely good. Just as he was about to give chase after hearing the light cough, Ah Qing immediately hugged him from behind.
"Ah Qing, don"t mess around." Xuan Li used her hands to break apart Ah Qing"s fingers.
"I … I have something to say to you." Ah Qing stammered. What she needed to do now was to try and buy as much time as possible for her master, but to Xuan Li, it would only take a while.
Xuan Li smiled and turned around, he slightly raised his thick eyebrows: "Are you hungry again? "Here, take it."
Xuan Li took out a few warm chestnuts from her bosom and handed them over to Ah Qing.
Ah Qing held the warm chestnut in a daze. Xuan Li would definitely be a good man in the future, but it was a pity. Sigh!
Seeing that Xuan Li was about to turn around and leave, Ah Qing grabbed onto her sleeves, tiptoed, and closed her eyes before suddenly kissing Xuan Li"s lips.
Ah Qing thought in his heart, Master, ah, for you, I have even sacrificed my looks.
Xuan Li looked at Ah Qing blankly. He was at a loss as he allowed Ah Qing to hug her head and kiss her lips.
Ah Qing let go of Xuan Li and pretended to be shy. She raised her orchid shaped fingers and said with a delicate voice: "I"ve already kissed you, you must take responsibility for me."
The muscles on Xuan Li"s face twitched, and after a long while, he asked in a m.u.f.fled voice: "Are you sure that"s a kiss?"
Ah Qing blinked his clear eyes and nodded with all his might.
Xuan Li suddenly leaned over, and pressed her face against her tender lips.
This time, it was Ah Qing who was shocked. She widened his eyes in disbelief, his swollen lips trembling non-stop.
Xuan Li coughed and said: "I just demonstrated it to you."
Thousands of horses galloped through Ah Qing"s heart. Was this still that taciturn and cold Guard Xuan? So it could be this powerful? No, that"s not right. She should be sighing with emotion. She was actually kissed by a man, and fiercely kissed by another man.
In front of the Sprite House, a white clothed man was being held outside. Although the man was handsome, his white robes were full of dust, and his face was smeared with dirt. There was even a dried up leaf hanging from his bun, making him look like a rich man.
Anyone who came to the Sprite House was either a rich or n.o.ble person. What was such a pathetic and dest.i.tute person doing here if not looking for trouble?
The hubbub outside the door attracted the old procuress"s attention. She walked over gracefully with a fan in her hand.
No wonder the Sprite House was different from other places, even the old procuress was different. In Wei Yuanwei"s impression, the old procuress was around 30 or 40 years old with a bloated body, thick makeup, and dressed in red and green clothes. It was just that, although the old procuress was a middle-aged lady, she was still graceful, with a unique charm.
The old procuress waved the feather fan in her hand: "Sprite House opens for business and sends guests here. If there are any difficulties, Sprite House will not stand by and watch. I only hope that this guest will not hide his purple aura."
Speaking was indeed an art. The bawd was only telling him to p.i.s.s off if he had nothing to do, so he didn"t want to stand in her way of doing business.
Wei Yuanwei shook off the dust on her body, causing the two girls who were blocking her to immediately take a few steps back, their faces revealing expressions of despise.
Wei Yuanwei took out a fan from her waist and opened it carelessly. With just that tiny action, the old procuress"s face immediately changed.
"Please come in, milord."
Naturally, his Ink Treasure was hard to find. However, Tao Mingqing had a strange quirk, and if not for the people he liked to chat with, he would not have given away the Ink Treasure so easily. As a result, Tao Mingqing"s work was also extremely rare, and was even sought after as a priceless treasure.
While Wei Yuanwei was admiring the layout of the Sprite House, a pair of eyes had already landed on her body.
