Небо над реками и озерами очень чистое

Глава 81

Her soaked clothes clung to her body, every detail clearly visible, and it was indeed inappropriate for a man to see them. But he ignored it and refused to let go of the person in his arms.

"Give it to her and I'll change it for her."

"You!" Shuangjing was furious and almost drew her sword again. "Shameless scoundrel."

"It's better than you drugging her senses," he retorted, genuinely worried that Jia Ye might catch a chill. Although the room was warm as spring, he couldn't let her sleep in wet clothes. He picked up a silk robe lying to the side with his sword, intending to change her.

Unable to stand by and watch, Shuangjing rushed forward and snatched it away.

"You lecherous scoundrel, you're supposed to be a prominent figure in the martial arts world, yet you've become so despicable."

The other party did not use any internal energy, and he could not easily fight with the woman. He was forcibly driven aside and was called a lecher for the first time, which was really both funny and sad.

Shuangjing blocked the view with her body, quickly changed Jiaye's clothes, and just as she picked him up, he cleverly snatched the clothes away and turned to walk into the bedroom.

Having lost, the woman angrily chased after her. "Miss is going to sleep, you are not allowed to disturb her."

He placed her delicate body on the couch and covered her with a silk quilt. Then he turned his head and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his handsome face cold.

"What exactly did you do to her?"

Stunned by the murderous aura, Shuangjing met his gaze firmly, refusing to yield an inch.

"That's ridiculous. Would we harm Miss? It's none of your business to question the affairs of the Prince's Mansion."

The man remained silent, his gaze growing increasingly cold. After a long standoff, Shuangjing reluctantly revealed the answer: "Miss used a prescription written by Physician Fu."

Fu Tianyi, the most renowned physician in the martial arts world, is extremely difficult to find. He felt a sudden unease.

"Why is she sleeping all the time? She wasn't like this before."

Shuangjing retorted bluntly, "You're talking about how long ago? For the past three years, Miss has been like this, sleeping eight or nine hours a day or more."

"Does the medicine have a calming effect?" This way of sleeping... I couldn't help but feel suspicious, and I almost wanted to shake her awake and ask her clearly. "Why?"

"Doctor Fu said that Miss's body is too badly damaged, and this detoxification will be less painful." After saying this irritably, Shuangjing began to shoo people away. "Get out. Miss won't wake up until tomorrow morning, and will continue to sleep in the afternoon. Choose a suitable time to see her yourself, and stop doing these sneaky things."

Poisoning? Is it the cold poison, or the poison of the Jade Iris Flower...? No wonder her figure has changed. He released his hand from the sword hilt and sat down by the bed, showing no intention of leaving.

"You go out, I'll wait here for her to wake up."

Frosty Mirror was furious. She hadn't expected the other party to be so shameless. She wanted to make a move, but she was afraid of startling the person on the bed.

"Is this what you call the behavior of a young master of the Xie family? Rumors in the martial arts world are indeed unreliable!"

"Say what you will." Xie Yunshu didn't look at her, only staring at her sleeping face. "Otherwise, I can take her away with me, it'll be the same."

The third young master of the Xie family… Shuangjing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Such a frivolous and immoral fellow, how could he have any of the rumored self-restraint? If it weren't for the young master's mention… Due to Jia Ye's orders, she couldn't act rashly. She gritted her teeth for a long time before finally sitting down at the desk, watching his every move.

The night was silent.

The incomparably handsome young man watched quietly.

Perhaps afraid of disturbing the beauty, his fingertips traced the space between her brows, then brushed across her rosy cheeks, and lightly touched her loose black hair. His passionate gaze was filled with deep affection, a mixture of longing and cherishing. He had an inexplicable feeling that she was a part of him, only to have been accidentally lost elsewhere.

Even the bystanders were moved and gradually relaxed their guard.

As dawn broke and the sun rose in the east, Shuangjing, estimating that Jiaye would soon wake up, tiptoed out of the room to prepare her morning necessities.

The royal palace was peaceful and orderly in the morning, with the black plaque with gold paint standing out solemnly and quietly.

This tranquil atmosphere was suddenly shattered by a rapid knocking on the door. The morning birds in the trees were startled and fluttered into the sky.

Jun Suiyu listened to the guard's report with slight surprise, then gave a smile that was hard to decipher, signaling the routine meeting to be suspended.

"please."

"Thank you, Fifth Young Master." He was very polite to the uninvited guest in the early morning and gestured for him to sit down. "Back in Yangzhou, I received a lot of help from you. I was unable to reveal my identity because I had no other choice. Please forgive me."

"I dare not accept such praise." Although Xie Qinglan did not like him, he had to maintain his status and be polite. "To have Young Master Jun's favor and stay here temporarily is an honor for the Xie family. Young Master has his reasons for not revealing his identity, so how could I dare to ask?" Yin Hu Bi Jun, who was following behind, was somewhat surprised, not expecting the usually carefree Xie Qinglan to say such a thing.

Without a hint of sarcasm, Jun Suiyu remained calm. "It was indeed my rudeness. I will certainly apologize in person when I go to Yangzhou. But I wonder what brings you here, Fifth Young Master...?"

"Please release my third brother, young master," Xie Qinglan said, forcing herself to reveal her true intentions.

"Thank you, Third Young Master." Jun Suiyu was truly taken aback this time. "We haven't seen each other since we parted in Yangzhou. Why would Fifth Young Master come here to ask for someone?"

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Qinglan was also stunned.

"Third Brother went to the Prince's mansion to look for someone yesterday, but he is still nowhere to be found today. How could Young Master Jun not know this?"

"Looking for someone?" Jun Suiyu pondered for a moment, then covered a smile with a light cough. "I wonder who we're looking for."

“Ye… Miss Jia Ye.” Qing Lan gritted her teeth. “The one you met in Yangzhou four years ago.” She couldn’t help but add sarcastically. “I heard she’s your sworn sister now.”

"Is the Third Young Master here to see Pianxian?" Jun Suiyu couldn't help but chuckle. "It's rather impolite to visit at night."

"My brother acted rashly and didn't think things through..." Qinglan was indeed in the wrong, and answered absentmindedly, then suddenly realized something. "You mean Pianxian?"

Jun Suiyu calmly sipped his tea and gave a nonchalant reply.

"Yes, she is now Jun Pianxian, the only young lady of the Junwang Mansion."

Before the three could recover from their astonishment, he turned to his attendants behind him.

"You always boast that not even a mosquito could fly in, but Young Master Xie stayed here all night without a care. You can't brag like that this time." The words were both teasing and a gentle reprimand, and the attendant immediately lowered his head.

"Please punish me, young master."

Despite the inadequate defenses, Jun Suiyu seemed to be in a good mood.

"Never mind, Young Master Xie is a dragon among men, it's not surprising that we can't stop him." He changed the subject and suddenly asked about Qinglan.

"Fifth Young Master, are you here to see your elder brother?"

"I beg you to grant my request, young master." Knowing full well the answer, Qinglan asked sullenly.

"Take the Fifth Young Master to see if he is there. If it is convenient, you can also invite the Third Young Master over for a chat."

Whether it was my imagination or not, Jun Suiyu's expression always seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

Even Qinglan, with her thick skin, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It was all her third brother's fault; he secretly went to her boudoir and didn't return all night. If word got out, it would be extremely awful, causing a scene at the host's house where they were leading the way to find him. It was truly... utterly shameful.

fluttering

In his hazy, light sleep, he felt something gently touching him, and he immediately opened his eyes.

Her slender white hands played with his fingertips, and her clear, bright black eyes were no longer heavy with sleepiness. She lazily sat up halfway from under the covers.

Her soft body was warm and beautiful. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

"woke up?"

"Hmm." Her cheeks still had the pink hue of someone just waking up, making her incredibly beautiful. "How did you get here?"

"You went to see the lantern festival yesterday." He took a deep breath of the fragrance, his voice slightly slurred. "I saw you."

She understood something. "You knew I was in Xi'an? I should have cut off all leads."

He chuckled, buried his head in her neck and shoulder, and gave her a light, punishing kiss. "Or you could be even more ruthless and watch me get drowned in rumors, then I definitely won't find out anything."

The tingling sensation on her skin made her involuntarily pull away, which only made him press closer to her breasts, becoming even more unrestrained. She tried to push him away, but he hooked his arm around her slender waist and wouldn't let go, his fingertips lingering lightly on her jade-like back, her thin shirt already slipping off her shoulders.

"Wait..." she gasped for breath, trying in vain to avoid him.

“I waited four years.” He insisted on getting more in return, snorting through his nose. “You dared to run away.” Still angry at the thought, he took a slightly heavier bite.

She curled up, unable to control her fever. "...I...I think that's better."

"So you ran away to another man." His anger intensified as he spoke, his curvaceous figure even more alluring than before, and he gritted his teeth in a more sensitive spot. "Let him touch your hand... smile at him, and something else."

"It's not what you...think." She pushed his head away, her voice trembling, but pulled closer again after a short distance. His handsome face was a mixture of lust and jealousy, completely devoid of any composure he usually displayed.

"No? Didn't he already take notice of you in Yangzhou? Did he kiss you, touch you... or even see you like this?"

The person beneath him was breathing slightly erratically, with faint blushes on her jade-like, icy skin, and her tender breasts rose and fell with her breath, enough to make even a saint lose control.

“…He’s not… different from you…” She tried to pull up her half-undone silk dress to shield herself from his burning gaze, but he only pulled off more of it. She couldn’t tell if it was the heat of his breath on her ear that made her dizzy, or his unrestrained, wandering hands that made her more confused, but she vaguely heard his words.

"Different? Who is he to you?"

“He…” A glimmer of clarity suddenly appeared in her eyes. She bit her lip, unable to continue, and glared at him fiercely. “You think this method…”

His clear, black-and-white eyes were misty with desire, but he had regained his composure, though he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He chuckled softly, stopping the provocation that had been driving him to the brink of madness. "I thought it would be useful."

"You!" She was unsure whether she should pounce on him and bite him a few times in return.

Hurried footsteps echoed in the courtyard. Without warning, the door was suddenly flung open. Before he could react, he grabbed the blanket and covered her with it, his eyes glaring at the person who had rushed in.

Qinglan was also dumbfounded.

He stared intently at the person on the bed.

Third Brother is unharmed, but... his gaze is absolutely murderous.

The other person, lying under the covers, had disheveled black hair, a flushed face, and half of his arm that wasn't covered... Clearly, he had arrived at an inopportune time.

Before he could even process what was happening, the back of his neck was suddenly empty, and Xie Yunshu had already grabbed him and thrown him out the door. If it weren't for the silver swan and the green falcon catching him, he would have definitely fallen quite badly.

An angry female voice suddenly exploded in my ears, and when I saw the scene inside the room, the volume rose several decibels. Sparks could almost be seen flying around the frost mirror.

“Young Master Xie! Even if you don’t care about your own reputation, you should think about my young lady. What kind of behavior is this! I shouldn’t have let you in, you utter lecher…”

Ignoring the screams and angry shouts, he lowered his head and kissed the pink cheek.

"I'll wait until you're dressed."

Shuangjing slammed the door shut, still cursing under her breath. Recalling the absurdity and embarrassment of just now, she gradually began to laugh, laughing until her whole body went limp. She curled up helplessly in the quilt, staring blankly at the roof beam.

He... he actually found it, what should we do?

Silver Falcon, unusually kind, caught Qinglan.

I instinctively wanted to say thank you, but then two faces came up to me from either side, their curiosity undisguised.

What did you see?

see……

A soft, jade-like shoulder floated before my eyes, her clear, startled eyes sparkling, a captivating blush on her snow-white cheeks… Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my face turned red.

"He saw something he shouldn't have," Yin Hu commented aptly.
