Under the silvery moon in the sky, most of the houses in the small town along the river turned off their lights, and only a group of five Imperial Guards patrolled the streets and alleys occasionally.
Step, step...
The sound of neat footsteps came from outside the courtyard wall.
Pei Xiangjun stood by the well and listened. After the footsteps were gone, he carried two buckets of water to the second floor of the inn.
Wuzhou was in chaos, and the number of passengers in the remote town dropped sharply. There were no outsiders in the small inn, and even the shopkeepers had already taken a rest.
The lights were on in the wing room on the second floor, but there was no movement inside.
Pei Xiangjun quietly came to the door and looked around. Luo Ning, dressed in Tsing Yi, was sitting sideways in front of the bed. Clean sheets had been laid out. She was holding a small porcelain bottle and gently rubbing it in her hand, with a sad look on her cheeks.
Pei Xiangjun felt that she was very tired today, and when she came back later, she might kill the delicate fox Meizi. For this reason, she was quite concerned. She carried the bucket to the screen and poured the water into the bathtub:
"Ning'er, stop looking and take a shower first."
Wow~~
Luo Ning came back to her senses, looked at the Xiang Fei Lu in her hand, and sighed secretly, feeling that she really didn't know what to do.
Normally she couldn't bear it, but today the little thief took some medicine. His eyes were on fire, and he was so bad that she couldn't even finish it...
Seeing Pei Xiangjun pouring water from behind, Luo Ning's eyes moved, she stood up and came to the back, and said softly:
"Sanniang, do you think it's easy to take care of your body?"
Pei Xiangjun stopped pouring water, then turned around and blinked his almond-shaped eyes:
"How could it be possible? I know this is not easy. I have taken too much Jingtang tonic and there is nothing I can do about it. Just bear with it..."
"How can I bear it?"
Luo Ning's face turned red, and there was something unspeakable in her eyes. She came to the back and whispered:
"When Ye Jingtang is fine, he knows the severity and is very considerate of me. But if the energy and blood are too strong, he will easily get sick, like a pestle... I can resist it, that's it. If I can't, you will always
You can't let me die in the house..."
"Well……"
"If you don't care, I won't care either. I will go back to Nanxiao Mountain to hide, and let him come to Nanxiao Mountain to find me. Then I won't let him return to the capital..."
?
Pei Xiangjun was a little anxious when he saw that Luo Ning was ready to give up her job:
"As for that? I listened to the ladies of wealthy families in Tianshuiqiao chatting, and they all complained that men were not good enough. There is no reason to complain that men are powerful..."
"Tianshuiqiao is full of wealthy gentry, how can it be the same as Night Terror Hall?"
Pei Xiangjun knew that Ye Jingtang was much stronger than ordinary people. He hesitated for a moment and hummed softly:
"Who told you to go to the door of Pei's house and rob people..."
Luo Ning's eyes widened slightly: "You are gloating about misfortune, right?"
"Oh~ I don't mean that either... You can't let me help you carry the thunder now, can you? When we are in love, you can eat alone, and when you suffer, you will pull me to block the gun..."
Luo Ning thought for a moment, put Xiang Fei Lu into Pei Xiangjun's hand, then stood behind her and gestured with her hands:
"You don't have to be serious. Just help Ye Jingtang get ready first. It's very simple..."
Pei Xiangjun was a little annoyed when Luo Ning rubbed him:
"Don't move your hands or feet...can this help with the treatment?"
Luo Ning saw Pei Xiangjun relenting, so she raised her hand to help her untie her skirt:
"Yes, I'll teach you, it's very simple..."
"How do you teach me? You are not a man..."
"Stop talking nonsense and study hard..."
"well……"
——
On the other side, inside the inn in the center of the town.
A candle lamp was placed on the table, and in front of it were sheets of paper.
Dongfang Liren sat upright in front of the table, with the medicinal formula in his hand. He wrote "His Majesty's Personal Letter" on the envelope with a pen, and then put the letter into it.
The maid in colorful clothes came to the table with a tray and put it down. In the tray were two sets of young master's robes that she had just found from the town.
The maid unfolded the two cloud-patterned prince's robes, held them in her hands and looked around:
"Your Highness, which robe do you think is the most beautiful?"
Dongfang Liren stood up and stood in front of him. He recalled the width of Ye Jingtang's shoulders and waist in his mind. After a brief inspection, he raised his hand and picked up one item:
"That's it. Send someone to send the letter back to the capital immediately..."
"yes."
After the maid went out, Dongfang Liren listened attentively - it was very quiet next door, there was no sound of splashing water, and he didn't know what he was doing...
He won't faint...
Dongfang Liren thought about it for a moment, then walked out of the room with his robe in hand, and went to the door of the next room. He first listened attentively, and then raised his hand to knock lightly.
Dong Dong~
"Night Terror Hall?"
"Um?"
Wow...
There was the sound of water flowing in the room, followed by footsteps that stopped and continued.
Dongfang Liren frowned secretly, feeling that something was wrong with the movement in the Night Terror Hall, and fearing that something might happen to the Night Terror Hall, he opened the door and looked inside.
Squeak——
The room was clean and tidy, with a tattered robe and trousers draped over the back of a chair next to the table. There were a few personal belongings placed on the table.
There was light mist coming out from behind the screen, and Ye Jingtang was naked from the waist up, with wet hair hanging on his back, and a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He was supporting the wall with his right hand and rubbing his forehead with his left hand. He looked very uncomfortable.
"Night Terror Hall?"
Dongfang Liren came quickly with his robe in hand, his eyes concerned:
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I……"
Ye Jingtang's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and he was dizzy due to the restless energy and blood. He even felt a little hazy when looking at the scene in the room.
Seeing Benben with concerned eyes in front of him, he subconsciously raised his arms to hug him and patted his back:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Eh?!"
Dongfang Liren was caught off guard, and was so shocked that she curled up her hands on her chest. Then Ye Jingtang hugged her tightly, her face suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to move, but she said urgently:
"You're fine. Why are you hugging me? You... let go!"
Ye Jingtang hugged Li Ren, who was as warm as jade, tried his best to control the impulse in his heart, and gently stroked the hair on his back to comfort:
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit lustful... No, I'm a little angry and I can't control myself. I..."
Dongfang Liren felt half of his body go numb as the man spoke into his ear, his eyes were shy and anxious, and he twisted his shoulders:
"If you continue to be so presumptuous, I will call the guards..."
Dongfang Liren twisted a few times, but failed to break free from the bold subordinate's arm. Instead, he found that he seemed to be pointed at by the hilt of the knife!
?
Dongfang Liren's eyes widened a little more, and he didn't dare to move anymore.
The two of them were hugging each other, but there might have been a bit of noise, so the maid next door noticed something was wrong and opened the door to take a closer look.
Squeak~
She looked up and saw Prince Ye, who was half-clothed, holding a frightened deer as if he was Prince Jing. The maid looked slightly startled, but before she could say anything, she saw that Prince Jing turned around suddenly with a slightly fierce look in his eyes!
!!
The maid shrank her neck in shock, knowing that she had disturbed Prince Jing's good things, so she quickly closed the door.
Dongfang Liren's face turned red, he turned around, gritted his teeth and said:
"Night Terror Hall, don't go too far! If you do this again, I will send you to the execution room when I get back..."
Ye Jingtang hugged him for a moment and found that the heat had not subsided, but his mind was getting more and more wandering. He forced his mind to let go of his hand, and just held Benben's shoulder:
"I'm sorry, I'll go back and take a rest. I'll come back to visit His Highness tomorrow..."
Seeing Ye Jingtang's rapid breathing and fiery eyes, Dongfang Liren was still worried about Ye Jingtang's physical condition and asked again:
"Are you missing a woman? How about I call two maids over..."
"Need not!"
The head of the night terror hall returned to his head, but he was not unconscious. He shook his head and said:
"A gentleman is lustful and takes it in a wise way. Even if I choke to death, I will not touch a woman I don't like."
?
Dongfang Liren frowned slightly, feeling that these words seemed to mean a confession to her - he would not touch a woman he didn't like, and he was frivolous towards me. Doesn't that mean he likes me...
Dongfang Liren's eyes were quite strange. It seemed that he wanted to say a few serious words to correct his attitude, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into:
"Then what can you do when you go back? If something happens if you hold it in..."
Ye Jingtang could see the worry and hesitation in Li Ren's eyes, raised his hand and hugged him again, patting his back:
"Ning'er has also come over and is waiting in the town. I'll just go back and rest. Your Highness, don't worry..."
?
Dongfang Liren was thinking about whether he should grit his teeth and endure the humiliation and help his subordinates solve difficult and complicated diseases. When he heard this, he immediately became angry and raised his boots to step on Ye Jingtang's toes:
"Miss Ning'er is here, and you still hug me? You..."
Ye Jingtang was very angry but his mind was still clear, so he subconsciously put his feet away and avoided it.
But he had a bath towel wrapped around his waist and moved his feet, but the bath towel was not spared.
Dongfang Liren stepped down and found that something beneath him had been stepped on...
?!
Ye Jingtang's expression froze.
Dongfang Liren's eyes suddenly widened and he didn't dare to lower his head. He threw the robe in his hand to Ye Jingtang, turned around and ran out:
"You villain! Just wait for me..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang!" sound coming from the next door, the door was closed, and there was the sound of the door being bolted.
douchebag……
Ye Jingtang was stunned by the adjective that Benben blurted out, but felt that the description was very accurate, and quickly put on his robe:
"His Highness stepped on it himself. I didn't mean to offend His Highness's eyes..."
"Go back quickly. If you don't leave any longer, I'm really annoying..."
"Okay... By the way, when Your Highness is communicating with Shanli, ask the officers and soldiers to pay attention to whether there is a man named Zhang Wenyuan among the prisoners of King Wu who is related to a disappearance case..."
"I know, you go back and recuperate first..."
"hehe……"
