She sat next to Liu Nu and sang Beirong nursery rhymes softly all night, looking at the flickering candlelight, just like lying on the grassland looking at the stars in the sky.
Xie Jie obviously had no intention of letting Liu Nu suffer to death. Early the next morning, an imperial doctor came with a medicine box to check Liu Nu's pulse.
I don’t know whether it was because she was about to return to Beijing and had too many things to do, or because she deliberately wanted to give her a cold shoulder. In short, Aheya waited for three days in a row, and when Liu Nu’s situation finally stabilized, she still didn’t get his summons.
On the third day, Ahaya put on the gold and pearl hairpin given to her by Yugou and went straight to Sanhai Tower.
Wenxiang Nephrite followed her closely, not leaving even half a step away. Aheya also knew that these were Xie Jie's eyes, but she made no unnecessary movements.
There are enough doubts about her, and there is no need to add more. What's more, what she wants to do is not something shameful.
On the contrary, she hoped that Xie Jie could hear the news as soon as possible.
"I want a jar of daughter's wine and three bowls of lover's blood."
She knocked on the door of the black market that night and gave the code.
Unlike Xie Jie who spoke with a fierce aura, she spoke these words more softly, like a lamb that has gone astray.
But Sanhailou had been given instructions a long time ago, and everyone recognized her. At this time, the man guarding the door just twitched his lips and tried to show a friendly smile, but he looked ferocious instead.
He read the code perfunctorily and opened the door for Ahya.
"Come in," he said, "the distinguished guests are coming at this time, so they won't be able to keep up with the excitement."
Ahaya pursed her lips, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a missing figure behind her, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
She raised her eyes and asked timidly: "Is your steward here?"
"Yes!" The big man wandered around the world, and the women he had seen the most were as decisive in life and death as Jade Hook. When he faced Ahaya, he was at a loss. He rubbed his hands, nodded repeatedly, and turned around.
She led the way, "Follow me!"
"girl!"
Ahaya was about to lift her heels, but was stopped by Wen Xiang.
Her face was full of anxiety, and fear flashed in her eyes: "How could you come to a place like this? If His Majesty knew..."
"Don't tell him!"
Ahaya stared slightly and quickly covered her mouth.
"We keep it secret, God knows, you know, I know."
She seemed to have a guilty conscience, her smart eyes looked around as if she was very nervous, but there was only a calm coolness in her eyes.
Sure enough, Nephrite returned.
She curled her lips, booed Wen Xiang in a good mood, lifted up her skirt, and trotted along with the big man leading the way.
The bait has been dropped, and it remains to be seen whether Xie Jie will take it.
The moon is rising above the willow branches, and the lights in Sanhai Tower are brightly lit.
Today's dance before the auction seems to be more special. There is no lingering silk and bamboo. Instead, there is the warm and passionate drumbeat of Beirong.
Ahaya entered the stage to the sound of music and carried an exquisite flower tambourine. The veil on her face was hazy, making her eyes even more gentle and watery.
There was silence in the pavilion, with no cheers, noisy conversations or laughter.
Only a sharp and cold gaze penetrated the heavy gauze curtains and fell directly on her body, gradually becoming scorching hot.
Ahya lowered her eyes and felt calm.
Xie Jie, here you go.
In his previous life, what he loved most was her dancing, and what he hated the most was when she danced in front of others.
He already regards her as something in the palm of his hand, and after getting the news, he will naturally not turn a blind eye.
This desire for exclusivity and control has never changed from the past life to this life.
She began to spin and bend to the beat of the drums. Every movement was just right, showing her most beautiful posture to the central pavilion.
As the music gradually reached its climax, she held the tambourine and turned her back, slightly revealing her profile.
One shake, two shakes, three shakes.
The crisp sound of the tambourine, combined with the drums and music, fluttered around her fingertips, as if it was alive.
The slender red silk is hung on the tambourine and rotates, creating curves one after another in the air, like the embodiment of music.
It was a gift offered to the gods by the ancient saint on the high altar from Beirong.
Xie Jie sat in the pavilion, holding a glass of wine in his hand, staring at this scene for a long time.
His eyes reflected that flash of red, which was like a dancing butterfly, and gradually burned into the sky full of desire.
He suddenly raised the corners of his lips, smiled silently, threw the wine glass back, stood up, and walked slowly towards the stage.
Boom, boom, boom.
His footsteps were beating to the beat of drums as he strolled up.
At a certain moment, he reached out and grabbed the red plum.
Ahaya was stunned for a moment when he grabbed her wrist, with a look of disbelief and anger on her face. She turned her head to look at the person, but was stunned.
Her expression changed, a hint of guilt appeared in her eyes, and she spoke hesitantly.
"His Majesty……"
"Ahaya, you still don't seem to know your identity." Xie Jie's eyes swept over her body, seemingly casually, but his tone carried great power.
"Who allows you to flatter others here?"
What he said was really too unpleasant to hear.
Ahaya bit her lower lip and looked at him intently, the original trace of joy in her eyes gradually turned into sadness and grievance.
"I am……"
"What are you doing?" Xie Jie raised the corners of his lips, his eyes were dark, and his fingertips touched her dance clothes with a coldness, "Aheya, it seems that you haven't learned enough lessons."
"Perhaps I should find someone to teach you the rules before entering the palace."
Ahaya's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear eyes were covered with a layer of water.
"I just want to give you this." She said hastily and took out a jade pendant from her waist.
The jade pendant is engraved with patterns of unicorns and auspicious clouds. It is emerald green and glowing with luster. You can tell at a glance that it is a high-quality object.
She put the piece of jade pendant on Xie Jie's hand, blinked her eyes, and made a sad nasal sound like offering a treasure.
"I made an appointment with the manager. I will dance a song and he will give this to me."
"I don't have money to buy those nice things. But... I want to coax you." She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Jie, her eyes clear and with a clean light, "I know I was wrong, don't you
You can forgive me this time."
Xie Jie lowered his head slightly and looked into her eyes. For some reason, his heart seemed to be touched by something.
Obviously, there are better items like this in his warehouse.
His face remained calm, and something seemed to flash across his eyes quickly, and was quickly covered with coldness.
"What if I say no?"
He twitched the corners of his lips, looked down at the jade pendant, and brushed his fingertips on the carved unicorn pattern, a little playfully.
"Do you think I am a three-year-old kid who wants to be coaxed with a worthless jade pendant?"
Ahaya looked at Xie Jie with crooked eyebrows, and there seemed to be bright stars in her eyes.
She spoke without hesitation.
"Then I'll think of other ways."
"If once is not enough, then twice, if twice is not enough, then three times... Your Majesty, when will you stop being angry?" This chapter has been completed!
