Chapter 18: The non-existent inner circle of the palace
As the son of the Hou family, He Yunxiao is somewhat unworthy of his reputation.
The dignified young master of the Hou Mansion, but in the Hou Mansion, he could only sleep in the guest room above the house, a shabby room with no yard and no servants.
This is the room Wuyou's wife fought for for him, otherwise he would still be sleeping in the woodshed.
In fact, this room is generally not used.
If He Yunxiao was shameless, it wasn't like he couldn't get into the bed of his Wuyou wife. If he still wanted to show off, he would sleep in the room that Jiang Wuyou had prepared for him from Yun Yuan.
Generally speaking, these are the two options.
But tonight, in the middle of the night, He Yunxiao had just returned from Mengbao's place and was too embarrassed to get into the bed of his Wuyou wife.
He had no choice but to sneak into Jiang Wuyou's house and clean up the room for him in Congyun Yuan, so he could sleep for the night.
It was too late now, Sister Jiang must have gone to bed, and He Yunxiao was too embarrassed to disturb her.
On a November night, the autumn wind was blowing and it was a bit cold. But this low temperature is nothing to a young man like He Yunxiao who is very passionate and practices martial arts.
With some Qinggong on his feet, he quietly slipped into Congyun Courtyard. When he saw that the lights in Wuyou's wife's room had been turned off, he quietly slipped into his own room.
What He Yunxiao didn't expect was that the lights in Sister Jiang's room had been turned off, but the lights in his room had not yet been turned off.
Could it be that there are guests?
He opened the door with questions, but what he answered was an empty room.
There are candles burning on the table and bedside. These two lights support the light of the entire room.
There is also a food box on the dining table in the room. This food box is very conspicuous on the empty table.
He Yunxiao opened the food box and took a look. There was no doubt that it was the warm food left for him by Wuyou's wife. Although He Yunxiao was not hungry, he still sat at the table, took out the food, and finished it meticulously.
The dishes were gradually bottoming out visibly to the naked eye. Although He Yunxiao ate a lot, his speed was not slow. He was a person who had been starved by the Soul-Eating Pill, and his cooking speed was always top-notch.
After eating and drinking, He Yunxiao came to the bed and prepared to sleep.
But when he lifted the quilt, he realized that the quilt was actually warm!
His palms brushed against the sheets, and a slight warmth spread from his palms to his heart. If you smell the air on the bed carefully, you can still vaguely smell the unique sandalwood fragrance of Wuyou Wife.
He Yunxiao was worried.
Damn it, the lady is so gentle, leaving a light, a meal, and a warm bed, yet I have the nerve to let her sleep by herself? Whoever wants this face today wants it, but I don’t want it anymore!
Get out!
Walk through the yard!
Then he quietly opened the door of Sister Jiang's room, walked to her bed, lifted the quilt and got in.
"Is the lady asleep?"
He Yunxiao put his hands around Jiang Wuyou's waist and asked knowingly.
Jiang Wuyou looked at He Yunxiao and smiled helplessly.
She immediately smelled Meng Qingqian's fragrance on He Yunxiao. A special floral scent.
He Yunxiao and his Mengbao have been sticking together for more than two hours, but it’s strange that they don’t taste good.
However, although Jiang Wuyou smelled it, he didn't say anything and just pretended that he didn't smell it.
It's not that Jiang Wuyou won't scold He Yunxiao, but the smell is very good. She has never met the owner of the smell, but she has come into contact with many women in Chunfeng Tower and has developed the skill of "knowing women by smell".
Just as "seeing words is like seeing people", the same is true for fragrance. This smell is fragrant but not strong, gorgeous but not vulgar, charming but not seductive, quite extraordinary. Its owner is at least a proud but charming lady, and may even be a prince, noble, princess or princess.
As long as He Yunxiao doesn't mess with him with strange women, Jiang Wuyou won't interfere. In fact, if He Yunxiao had the ability to throw those beauties of heaven on the bed, Jiang Wuyou would not object, but would support him very much.
Spreading branches and leaves is a very important thing. It would be best if more outstanding women are willing to help the He family continue to have children.
As long as he is restrained and does not harm his body, Jiang Wuyou will not object to any number of girls He Yunxiao marries.
Among the independent heroines, Jiang Wuyou is the only one who is in the same camp as He Yunxiao on this matter. Want them all!
Yin Yun's opinion is in the hands of He Yunxiao, and Nanzhu's opinion is mostly in He Yunxiao's hands. Mengbao has an opinion, but her idea is "except Nanzhu, everyone else should go away", and Chu Chu's idea is "let them live a little longer." , Zi Rui said, "Okay, they are young, you can only love me."
Hearing He Yunxiao say, "Is the lady asleep?", Jiang Wuyou smiled helplessly and said, "Have you undressed yet? Just ran in."
He Yunxiao said: "No."
Jiang Wuyou stood up, pushed He Yunxiao and said, "Get up, I'll help you undress."
He Yunxiao jumped down quickly, pushed Jiang Wuyou back, and said, "It's cold at night, you lie down, I'll do it myself."
Then he was in a hurry in the dark.
Jiang Wuyou stood up and lit the lamp, then gently and methodically helped He Yunxiao undress. The clothes she took off were neatly folded and placed on the clothes rack next to her own clothes.
The clothes rack in Jiang Wuyou's room was a double one. After she undressed herself, she would always put it on one side, leaving the other side empty, silently waiting for another set of clothes.
After tidying up, the two rested their heads on the pillows again.
This was not the first time that the two slept together. Because of the "money" agreement, He Yunxiao was very restrained and always waited for Sister Jiang to take the initiative to "repay the money."
Jiang Wuyou was about to fall asleep, but now that He Yunxiao was tossing him like this, his sleepiness was gone.
He Yunxiao originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask Sister Jiang about the "internal response within the palace" mentioned by Emperor Yan.
After all, Sister Jiang's assassination mission depends on the cooperation of the insider to succeed. And the insider is the person most likely to poison Mengbao.
Meng Bao stayed in the palace every day to help Meng Qingqian, so there would be no shortage of opportunities for that person to take action.
Although I don’t understand why the spy didn’t kill Meng Qingqian directly... Or maybe Mengbao is Meng Qingqian, and the spy didn’t kill the wrong person... But Mengbao also said that he would take me to see Meng Qingqian, which means that she is not Meng Qingqian... …
What a mess!
He Yunxiao didn't want to think about it anymore.
He originally wanted to ask Sister Jiang, but while holding Sister Jiang and talking to her about another woman, He Yunxiao always felt uncomfortable. But on the other hand, He Yunxiao felt no psychological pressure at all when mentioning Sister Jiang in front of Mengbao.
Go to sleep, it won't be too late to ask again tomorrow. But don't sleep too hard, you still have to listen to the sound of the "red whistle". It would be bad if there was a delay in detoxifying Mengbao.
"Xiao'er, are you asleep?" Jiang Wuyou whispered.
"Lady?"
"Last time you asked me to inquire about the 'Egret'..."
He Yunxiao's eyes lit up, "Is there any news?"
Jiang Wuyou shook his head, "No."
"But..." Jiang Wuyou changed the subject, "I guessed that Miss Li's poisoning was probably related to the palace spy. So I used all my means to find out about the spy, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect him to be a powerful internal supervisor? A popular person around the Queen Mother?" He Yunxiao tried to guess using the thinking of an old bookworm.
Jiang Wuyou shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that I couldn't find any information at all."
"Xiao'er, have you read the list of spies of the Yan Kingdom that I gave you? The spies of the Yan Kingdom are lurking in the palace, the court, merchants, rivers and lakes, and among the refugees. It can be said that they have great hands and eyes. But that person in the palace should I can’t find any information about him. Not to mention his name, gender, appearance, or position, I can’t even find out whether he really exists.”
He Yunxiao comforted Sister Jiang and said, "Sister, don't panic. If this guilt doesn't exist, wouldn't it be best?"
Jiang Wuyou frowned, looking worried.
"Xiao'er, you don't understand. Emperor Yan is extremely cunning and cunning. With my level of martial arts, if no one cooperates, even if I dance my sword in front of Meng Qingqian, I won't be able to kill her. So, in order to let me To kill Meng Qingqian, I will definitely find someone to cooperate with me, but now, this person is completely unknown..."
He Yunxiao said: "Madam, don't panic. If we can't find him, maybe he is hiding too deep in the palace."
Jiang Wuyou sighed: "I hope so. If he really just hid it too deep, then it would be okay. I'm afraid that Emperor Yan has other tricks up his sleeve. Even if we are on guard, Emperor Yan can still... take Meng Qingqian. life……"
He Yunxiao said: "No, no, no, Emperor Yan is not a god, how could he predict everything? During the coming-of-age ceremony, you danced with the sword, and then you drank poisonous wine and faked your death, giving the inner-Ying Lian a chance to take action. None. Then Yan was defeated and everyone was happy."
He Yunxiao persuaded Jiang Wuyou to sleep. But he himself couldn't sleep.
If Sister Jiang's worries are true, then even if there is a plan to fake death, Meng Qingqian is still very dangerous. What if Mengbao is Meng Qingqian...
No, I still have to go to the coming-of-age ceremony!
Although Mengbao wouldn't let it go, this matter might be related to the lives of the two heroines, so she couldn't be coddled. At worst, he just needs to hide from Mengbao a little bit so that she doesn't notice that he's coming.
