Chapter 148 Jiang Yunzheng slowly squatted down and called Xu Jiashu: Second brother.

Qi Yunshen took out the ointment and applied it on Jiang Yunzheng's lips little by little, leaving a transparent color on her red lips.

Qi Yunshen's eyes deepened slightly.

Jiang Yunzheng's ears felt hot, and she quickly covered Qi Yunshen's eyes: "Be careful."

A light laugh escaped Qi Yunshen's throat. He moved his hand away from Jiang Yunzheng's wrist, stood up and took off his outer robe.

Jiang Yunzheng's eyes widened slightly: "What are you going to do?"

Qi Yunshen revealed his inner shirt and went straight to the back of the room.

Jiang Yunzheng's room is directly connected to the bathroom, which has a separate small door. It is only opened when Hongyu and others pour hot water for her. It is usually locked. The other door is connected to the bedroom.

There is always a water tank in the bathroom, which is filled with clean cold water.

After Qi Yunshen wiped his body and came out, he saw Jiang Yunzheng standing at the door looking at him.

Qi Yunshen couldn't help but tease her: "Are you waiting here for me?"

Jiang Yunzheng's lips moved slightly: "You're not going home tonight?"

Qi Yunshen picked her up and walked towards the bed. Jiang Yunzheng subconsciously put her arms around his neck.

Qi Yunshen: "The bed will be cold when we get home."

Jiang Yunzheng knew that Qi Yunshen would not do anything, but if others saw it, it would cause a big misunderstanding.

Qi Yunshen put Jiang Yunzheng on the inside of the bed. He pinched Jiang Yunzheng's cheek and said, "Don't worry, I will leave before dawn."

Jiang Yunzheng took his hand away. Her plain white shirt made her face look even smaller. Her long hair draped behind her head made her look like a seductive demon. Her face was slightly tense.

"Don't let anyone see you."

Qi Yunshen: "Don't worry, little ancestor."

Qi Yunshen lay beside her, and the bed curtains were filled with a faint scent of camellia.

He stretched out his arms and embraced Jiang Yunzheng in his arms, his bony fingers gently running through her long hair.

The weather was getting colder, and the person next to her was like a natural heater. Jiang Yunzheng snuggled up next to Qi Yunshen and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The moonlight outside the window is clean.

Qi Yunshen felt the heartbeat of the person in his arms, his eyes silent, and he did not sleep all night.

The next day, when Jiang Yunzheng woke up, Qi Yunshen had already left.

The bedding beside me was cold.

Jiang Yunzheng got up, dressed, and opened the door.

The sun was shining brightly today. Hou Yue was squatting on the wall eating the vegetarian buns that Nanny Qin had steamed that morning. Wu You was practicing sword in the yard, and Hong Yu was drying the books in Jiang Yunzheng's study.

As soon as he saw Jiang Yunzheng come out, Hou Yue jumped off the wall and handed her the note in his sleeve.

"It was sent by Qingying."

The note was written by Qi Yunshen, asking her if she wanted to go see Xu Jiashu.

Jiang Yunzheng nodded: "I'll go back and change my clothes, you should change too."

The two women disguised themselves as men, but Jiang Yunzheng's technique was so tricky that they didn't look like a woman at all.

Wu You continued to practice sword skills in the yard.

If she is weak, the young lady might get hurt.

She wants to become strong, as strong as Hou Yue.

When Jiang Yunzheng left the house, there was a carriage parked at the door.

She stepped onto the carriage, and two hands stretched out from inside. Jiang Yunzheng naturally shook hands with them.

Hou Yue stared with eyes wide open, stunned.

She looked at Qingying.

Qingying touched his nose and looked away.

Hou Yue swallowed his saliva and pretended to be nothing, sitting next to Qingying while the two grooms took turns driving the horses.

Inside the car, this was the first time Qi Yunshen saw Jiang Yunzheng dressed as a man.

As soon as Jiang Yunzheng got in the car, she asked, "What time did you leave this morning?"

"When Nanny Qin was making breakfast."

Qi Yunshen looked at the beard around Jiang Yunzheng's mouth, then glanced at the bulge in her throat, "Come sit here."

Jiang Yunzheng thought his beard was stuck on crookedly, so he sat over and asked, "Is it not done right?"

Jiang Yunzheng's eyes sparkled.

"It's done."

There was a faint smile in Qi Yunshen's eyes, and Jiang Yunzheng snorted lightly.

But at this moment, her eyes fixed, her fingers trembled, she touched Qi Yunshen's eyebrows, and asked casually: "By the way, did you feel uncomfortable last night?"

Qi Yunshen: "No, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yunzheng: "I'm just asking."

As she spoke, she felt Qi Yunshen's pulse.

Just now, a black line flashed across Qi Yunshen's eyes, which meant that the white bone and green water poison began to invade Qi Yunshen's brain.

The poison in Qi Yunshen's body is increasing day by day.

Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips and asked casually, "By the way, when did you leave Beijing?"

Qi Yunshen: "Leave in three days."

Jiang Yunzheng held the man's broad hand and said, "I haven't been to the northwest yet. I want to go too."

Qi Yunshen paused for a moment and said, "I'll be back before the end of the year at the latest."

Jiang Yunzheng tried hard to smile.

"I'm not doing this for you. Daliang is so big, and I've only been to Jiangnan, Shu, and the capital. I have to go somewhere else. If I meet a man who's more handsome than you, I won't come back—"

Qi Yunshen gritted his teeth: "You dare."

The carriage soon arrived at an abandoned temple on the edge of the city.

In order to avoid arrest yesterday, Xu Suyuan and Xu Jiashu finally fled separately.

Xu Suyuan's injuries were not as serious as Xu Jiashu's, and he escaped from the capital before the city gates were closed yesterday.

But Xu Jiashu was a step too late and was placed in an abandoned temple by the guards of the Xu Mansion.

There were not many people around here, so out of caution, Jiang Yunzheng still wore a bamboo hat.

The two walked in side by side, while Qingying and Hou Yue stood guard outside.

Qi Yunshen's secret guards were inside guarding Xu Jiashu. When they saw Qi Yunshen coming, they retreated outside.

Qi Yunshen stopped at the Buddha statue.

Jiang Yunzheng continued to move forward.

Xu Jiashu was lying in the haystack like a prodigal dog, covered in blood. His two old wounds had not healed yet, and his hasty escape yesterday had opened up new wounds. The gauze on his body was so thick that it wouldn't fall off, revealing several wounds so deep that the bone could be seen.

His breathing was so weak that a single bout of fever would kill him.

Jiang Yunzheng slowly squatted down and called him, "Second Brother."
