Chapter 99 Crazy Maid X Arrogant Princess 7
Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan finished bathing but didn't rush out. They relaxed their bodies and floated on their backs in the water.
Their bodies were intertwined, swaying with the water.
Zuo Baixuan swayed gently, looking at the moon in the sky: "Sister Nan, we are like duckweed now, drifting aimlessly."
This refers to their physical state at the moment, and it also seems to be their mental state.
Zuo Baixuan held Luan Yenan's hand underwater.
With a little force, Luan Yenan pulled Zuo Baixuan to his side, wrapped his arm around her waist, and they floated together on the water.
Of course she knew that Zuo Baixuan was still worried.
Even though she had emphasized countless times along the way that they could leave together once the rebels completed their mission, Zuo Baixuan was still terrified.
When asked, she didn't want to worry herself and was unwilling to admit it. But her actions betrayed her.
Just like before, when he used methods beyond his usual level, Zuo Baixuan initially resisted, then pretended to resist, and finally let go when she saw that no one was around.
She was tearing at her clothes, as if she wanted to live out today as if it were her last.
In addition, Zuo Baixuan would always wake up from nightmares every night and could not sleep soundly. On the contrary, in the morning, when the carriage was moving, she could only catch up on sleep peacefully when she held herself.
Luan Yenan could sense that Zuo Baixuan's unease was still lingering in her heart.
“Xuan’er, after leaving Qingquan Prefecture, we will take the official road and head southeast. We will only take action after crossing the canal, so you can at least rest assured until we board the ship.”
The canals within the territory of the Dali Kingdom were built hundreds of years ago. At that time, waterways connected the north and south, and land routes connected the east and west, leading to the prosperity of the country.
Later, war broke out and the country was divided in two, and the canal became just a river.
It is closer to the Southern High Kingdom.
The rebels' plan was to launch an uprising in Yicheng, forcing the marriage alliance to change their route, leaving only the Qingquan Prefecture and the Grand Canal as options.
Zuo Baixuan found Luan Yenan's words amusing and said helplessly, "Do you really think that setting a deadline for me will stop me from worrying? It's like setting a death date; how can I be at ease?"
Luan Yenan's feet kicked in the water, making the two of them float on the surface. He reached out and scooped up a handful of water, which reflected the moonlight.
She let the moonlight fall on Zuo Baixuan's glowing skin and then kissed her arm.
Water and a light kiss fell simultaneously, warmth and tenderness flowing over her body once more. Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips: "You don't always use this method to help me relax and put my mind at ease, do you?"
"No effect?" Luan Yenan looked up at her, his smile extremely alluring.
"No." Zuo Baixuan bit her lip lightly, but she had no resistance to Luan Yenan. After only a couple of glances, she couldn't help but pull Luan Yenan back and kiss him.
The two were no longer floating on their backs.
It fell below the water's surface.
Zuo Baixuan forgot where she learned to swim when she was a child, but she was a good swimmer.
She was already prepared, and the moment Luan Yenan exhaled bubbles underwater, she went up to him and their lips met.
Zuo Baixuan slowly took a breath for Luan Yenan, and small bubbles appeared in her mouth.
The temperature of the hot spring mingled with body temperature.
Their clothes and hair floated with the current, as if they were suspended above the clouds.
Underwater became Zuo Baixuan's domain.
She also wanted Luan Yenan to experience what it was like to be bullied.
But within the shallow bubbles, Zuo Baixuan saw Luan Yenan's vague smile.
Zuo Baixuan's mind went blank for a moment before she remembered that she was the one who had pestered Sister Nan to teach her how to swim back then.
Luan Yenan, having been attacked, naturally showed no mercy and instead hugged Zuo Baixuan.
Unable to struggle, Zuo Baixuan also exhaled a large bubble. The feeling of lack of oxygen rose up, making her anxious to surface.
Luan Yenan pulled her close, cupped her face, and breathed back into her mouth.
Zuo Baixuan felt a wave of dizziness, caused by lack of oxygen.
But Luan Yenan still held her, even hooking his feet on the protruding rocks at the bottom of the pool to keep himself from floating.
Zuo Baixuan thought Luan Yenan must have gone mad.
Having been submerged in the water for so long, the two of them might die here before the rebels even arrive.
But after Luan Yenan finished kissing her, he continued to kiss her, showing no intention of letting go.
Zuo Baixuan opened her eyes and watched Luan Yenan kiss her passionately. The softness between her lips brought a strange pleasure from the eve of suffocation. She turned around and hugged Luan Yenan tightly.
If I were with Sister Nan, it wouldn't matter if I drowned here.
Luan Yenan chuckled softly, sensing Zuo Baixuan's unwavering determination to never be apart.
Her feet swung gently, bringing Zuo Baixuan to the surface just before she choked on the water. After taking two deep breaths, she looked at Zuo Baixuan, who was still panting in her arms, and whispered, "Death isn't that scary. No matter what, we'll be together."
With her eyes, face, and every inch of her skin flushed red, Zuo Baixuan pursed her lips, understanding Luan Yenan's intention.
She lowered her head for a while before saying, "Sister Nan, let's go out of the hot spring."
Luan Yenan gave a soft "hmm" and swam towards the shore, casually asking, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"Yes." Zuo Baixuan nodded.
"Where?" Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan with concern.
Soaking in a hot spring for too long can indeed cause dizziness and headaches.
Zuo Baixuan felt dizzy and almost uncontrollably said to Luan Yenan, "I...I want to...do it again with Sister Nan..."
Luan Yenan smiled and didn't press further about what the next visit would be about.
But this is Xuan'er. Normally, when you ask her if she's feeling well, even if she's on the verge of climax, she'll stubbornly hum a little. And even if she's sleepy afterward, she'll still stubbornly say, "I'm not feeling well."
Luan Yenan whispered in her ear with a smile, "Anytime is fine."
Zuo Baixuan blushed and pinched Luan Yenan's soft flesh to stop him from talking.
The hot spring pool continued to emit mist in all directions.
His fiery body was like the ever-flowing hot spring water.
...
Early the next morning.
A young palace maid carrying breakfast approached the hot spring pool area.
Zuo Baixuan was sitting in the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, while Luan Yenan combed her hair with a smile he never usually wore.
The young palace maid was taken aback, then frowned slightly and quickly approached.
"Princess, Lady Luan, a soldier has informed us that Governor Huo Lin is already waiting outside the city, and Prince Dan is on his way. We can set off now."
Luan Yenan calmly tied Zuo Baixuan's hair up and put it on: "Princess, I'll have the groom bring the horse over. You can have breakfast first."
"Okay, I'll save some for Sister Nan." Zuo Baixuan smiled, revealing her dimples.
The young palace maid gave them a strange look.
She only followed Luan Yenan after he started to leave.
As soon as the two entered the woods, Luan Yenan spoke up: "Speak, what is it?"
If there's nothing else, the palace maid could simply bring the groom over directly instead of coming to announce her arrival first.
"Senior Sister Luan, I think you've been too concerned about the princess these past few days," the maid said.
Luan Yenan frowned as he looked at her.
The young palace maid met the cold gaze without flinching, and said bluntly, "Even if you punish me, or even kill me, I will still speak. The uprising is a serious matter; don't worry too much about your sisterly bond with Princess Penglai!"
Luan Yenan laughed: "Xuan'er and I are not sisters."
The young palace maid clearly misunderstood: "What is that? A mother-daughter relationship? Although Princess Penglai's mother died early, you don't need to..."
“I consider Xuan’er my wife,” Luan Ye Nan replied.
"What..." The little palace maid was stunned, staring at Luan Yennan, speechless for a moment, "But this..."
"Is it abnormal? Whether we are normal or not is none of anyone else's business. We can live our own lives well," Luan Yennan said calmly.
The palace maid choked, realizing that Luan Yenan, as a leader, was somewhat headstrong and self-willed, and that she was more like a lone wolf, which was why...
"But you must understand, General Xiao has always seen you as a thorn in his side and has been speaking ill of you to the commander. If you sabotage this marriage alliance, you might be treated as a spy, while if you do, you could become a general. Senior sister, you should think this through." The little palace maid advised kindly.
Luan Yenan did not answer.
She had a one-way communication with the commander and was not worried about being framed.
After hesitating for a long time, the young palace maid asked again, "Does the princess already know your identity?"
Luan Yenan nodded.
The palace maid closed her eyes and asked again, "Does the princess know that our rebel army not only wants to kill Prince Dan, but also her?"
Luan Yenan stared wide-eyed at the little palace maid: "Who said they wanted to kill the princess?"
The young palace maid hesitated for a moment: "Isn't this the result of our discussion with General Xiao?"
“Gu Duo, you were the last among us to join the sect, and you didn’t even know where our sect was. But Master always treated everyone equally. When Master sacrificed herself to save the people from danger, she only allowed me to take you with her. I risked my life to save you. I hope you won’t go astray,” Luan Ye Nan said sternly.
thump.
The palace maid immediately knelt down.
Even the deceased master was brought up, which shows that the senior sister is really angry.
“Senior sister, Gu Duo didn’t mean that! It was Xiao Xing who sent someone to talk to me about this. I didn’t want to pay any attention to it. I only spoke up to remind you today because I saw you being too intimate with the princess.”
