Chapter 1389 Oh no…

"Knock knock knock".

"Knock knock knock~"

A gentle knock came at the door, and Song Chunxue slowly woke up.

Looking at the sturdy wooden rafters and beams, she slowly sat up, thinking about what had happened before she fainted and the obvious changes in her body, feeling that everything had become different.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's different.

The soft footsteps outside the door, and the rustling of clothes as people lingered, were all exceptionally clear.

The people outside have been waiting for you for half an hour. Aren't you going to let them in?

Wuyou suddenly spoke, and Song Chunxue guessed who was outside.

Moreover, she could also hear the person outside the door making a slight throat-clearing sound.

"Come in."

With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and familiar footsteps crossed the two thresholds, revealing a figure standing in front of the bed.

His black sheepskin boots, adorned with gold-trimmed cloud patterns, revealed his increasingly exalted status.

Looking up, I saw that he was dressed in a jet-black outfit, with faint gold threads visible, but the overall impression was one of somber melancholy.

Xie Zheng's expression was unusually serious, and even his concern was gone. His eyes, which hadn't slept well, were bloodshot, and he looked over listlessly.

"You can really sleep."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the guilt that Song Chunxue was feeling vanished.

All the heavy emotions vanished.

She sat quietly, her hands resting on her knees. "I didn't do anything. You're dressed all in black, are you planning to... run me away?"

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were covered tightly.

"Pooh!"

"Spit it out!"

Song Chunxue looked at the person who had covered her mouth and said it very fiercely, giving her such an order.

His mouth was so numb from being covered.

"Slap." She raised her hand and slapped the back of his hand.

Xie Zheng quickly took a small step back, his neck turning red instantly, though it wasn't very noticeable because of his collar.

"I'm sorry, I was too forward."

Song Chunxue seemed unconcerned about these matters, looking around and asking, "Where am I? Did Master call you here?"

Why do I see him every time I wake up?

At first, I wasn't used to it, but now I don't feel anything.

"This is a courtyard in the capital. It's quiet and you won't be disturbed easily. You can stay here with peace of mind. There's a bamboo forest on the back mountain. You can go for walks there from time to time."

bamboo forest?

Is it the kind of bamboo forest where the bamboo stalks are neat and tall, the bamboo leaves are sparse and dense, and the stone paths in the forest are covered with bamboo leaves?

Isn't bamboo only found in the south?

Ever since she saw bamboo in the south, she has fallen in love with all kinds of bamboo, whether it's moso bamboo or green bamboo.

I once thought that when I had the chance in the future, I would definitely dig some up and plant them outside the yard or in the corner of the wall inside the yard. If I was afraid of the cold in winter, I would tie them up with wheat straw to keep them warm.

Suddenly, I felt a poke on my forehead.

Did you hear that?

Song Chunxue looked up, her face expressionless, and said, "Try poking it again?"

"Hey, what's with the flirting? Did I come at the wrong time?" Qi Yun's voice was loud. He put a basket of something on the table, walked over, put his hands on his hips, and looked at them. "So, is she leaving? I told you this courtyard..."

“I like the bamboo grove.” Song Chunxue stopped him from making a decision. “Next time, could we wait outside? We’re different men and women, after all.”

"Different?" Qi Yun looked her up and down. "I suspect that what you wear under your clothes is the same as ours. Here, take a look in the mirror."

Song Chunxue took the bronze mirror and discovered that the person in the mirror was an unfamiliar male face, one she had never seen before.

She panicked and put the bronze mirror down, pressing it against her chest.

So she's using illusion magic, not disguise?

"Hey, stop!"

Seeing her hand reach down, Qi Yun and Lord Xie quickly reached out to stop her.

"..." Realizing what she was about to do, Song Chunxue covered her eyes with her hands, pulled the blanket over her legs, and subconsciously squeezed her legs together. When she felt that thing, she was so frightened that her scalp tingled, and she spread her legs apart again.

Good heavens! She hadn't even realized she was speaking in a man's voice; she's so embarrassed now.
