Chapter 81 Who can stand this?
As dawn broke, Yu Nian struggled to get out of bed.
Despite the warm embrace of her bed, Yu Nian resolutely refused.
Afraid of missing the appointed time, Yu Nian simply washed and combed her hair, not bothering to tie it up, but casually securing the ends with a hairband. Then, wrapped in a cotton-padded cloak, she put her belongings in her arms and left the South Garden.
Feeling cold, Yu Nian didn't use her crutches and limped towards the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
Chunyu Han's attitude is crucial to today's interrogation. He left without saying a word last night, so Yu Nian has to come over and appease him to put his mind at ease.
Yu Nian is a completely different person now. When she first came here, she had to sneak over the wall. This time, even if she walks sideways to the Honeysuckle Pavilion, no one will dare to stop her.
Yu Nian went straight to the Honeysuckle Pavilion, quietly pushed open the door, only to find the room empty, with no sign of Chunyu Han...
"No way, we came up empty-handed? Did he leave before dawn?"
Yu Nian calculated based on his father's daily morning court session time. His father had only just gotten up at this time, so Chunyu Han shouldn't have left so early.
As Yu Nian closed the door and was about to leave, she heard a slight whooshing sound coming from the backyard.
Yu Nian was quite familiar with the area around Ren Dong Ge, but she had never been to the backyard before. Yu Nian couldn't help but wonder what Chunyu Han's backyard was like.
Since we're already here, we can't let this early start go to waste.
To Yu Nian's disappointment, the backyard of the Honeysuckle Pavilion was not filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs vying for attention, but rather with a lush bamboo grove.
The lush bamboo is sturdy and upright, and a gentle breeze rustles through its leaves.
A figure stood amidst the bamboo forest, holding a long spear, the tip of which stirred up gusts of wind wherever it passed.
This was the first time Yu Nian had seen Chunyu Han wielding a spear. He usually used swords and sabers, but the nine-foot-long spear whistled as he swung it. Yu Nian saw a completely different aura in Chunyu Han than before.
The spear moves like a dragon in flight, as fast as thunder, so that once you see it, you can't take your eyes off it.
However, Chunyu Han's eyes, besides their usual coldness and calmness, seemed to have a hint of... anger.
Despite the chilly morning air, Yu Nian had wrapped herself up like a cotton ball, while Chunyu Han was only wearing a thin pair of pure black training pants, his upper body completely bare, revealing his well-built waistline.
It was hard for Yu Nian to associate Chunyu Han with the word "eunuch." Yu Nian had seen many eunuchs in the palace, but Chunyu Han was so different from them.
Chunyu Han didn't speak in a high-pitched voice, and he was also very strong and tall.
Yu Nian's eyes flickered slightly, and a bold idea popped into her mind: Could it be that Chunyu Han...
Was he not completely castrated?
Whoosh!
The spear thrust forward, piercing straight through the bamboo beside Yu Nian.
While Yu Nian was in a daze, Chunyu Han had already noticed the uninvited guest who had entered the bamboo forest.
Instinctively, he wanted to get rid of the spy, but after making his move, he saw Yu Nian's dazed little face. He used his elbow to force the attack, which deflected the attack. Otherwise, Yu Nian would have been dead.
"What are you doing here?"
Chunyu Han spoke in a low voice, tinged with a chilling aura.
"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to peek at you."
Chunyu Han approached Yu Nian, his eyes cold and clear, as if he wanted to devour Yu Nian alive.
Yu Nian swallowed hard and took a small step back. Was it really necessary? I only glanced at you once, it's not like I haven't seen you before.
Chunyu Han looked down at Yu Nian and pulled out the silver-tasseled spear stuck in the bamboo with one hand.
"If it weren't for my intentions, why would you be here so early? Tell the truth, otherwise I wouldn't mind marrying a blind woman."
Chunyu Han was not joking; even Canghai didn't know that Chunyu Han could use a spear—it was his secret.
Yu Nian stretched out her hand from under her cloak, holding a small soup bowl in her fair hand.
"Last night, my lord accompanied me to watch a play outside until late. This morning, my lord has to attend an important interrogation, so I specially brought you some refreshing soup."
The small soup bowl was wrapped tightly in an embroidered brocade cover. If Yu Nian hadn't said anything, Chunyu Han would have thought it was a hot water bottle she used to warm her hands.
"Is it to refresh or to remind you?"
Yu Nian, this lazy cat, was willing to get up so early just so that Chunyu Han could say a few more words for Yu Ning.
It's surprising how much she cares about her brothers.
"Your mind is perfectly clear, why bother..."
Yu Nian grinned and looked up to see Chunyu Han talking as he picked up a dark-colored outer robe hanging on a bamboo branch and put it on.
The black outer garment, as thin as silk, was soaked with sweat from Chunyu Han's body and clung tightly to his muscular physique.
Especially the area on the chest, it's fine when you're not wearing it, but when you wear it, paired with Chunyu Han's abstinent and devilish face...
Good heavens! Is this the legendary allure of black stockings?!
Seeing that Yu Nian had only spoken halfway, Chunyu Han stepped forward and hooked his hand to lift Yu Nian's chin.
Why bother with anything?
Yu Nian's heart pounded like a drum, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
Dude, you're dressed so provocatively, can you please keep your distance?! How can anyone resist that?!
As Yu Nian expected, her nose felt hot, and blood started flowing again, much to her dismay.
"Why do you make things difficult for me, sir?"
Yu Nian wiped her nose miserably with the back of her hand, leaving a streak of bright red blood on her hand.
Chunyu Han subconsciously released Yu Nian, his eyes darkening.
She keeps getting nosebleeds, could she have some kind of illness?
"I've delivered the soup, so I won't bother you any longer, sir."
Yu Nian looked at Chunyu Han's furrowed brows and felt a chill in her heart. Needless to say, Chunyu Han must be disgusted with her now and must think she is a complete lecher.
Oh well, Yu Nian never left a good impression on Chunyu Han anyway.
"stop."
Chunyu Han spoke loudly, thrusting out his spear and pressing it down on Yu Nian's slender shoulder.
"oops!"
Yu Nian already had a limp, and when her shoulder tilted, this almost knocked her over.
Is this broken gun really that heavy? Yu Nian just watched Chunyu Han wield it with incredible speed and agility, as if he were holding chopsticks!
Chunyu Han is such a loser, all he does is bully people. Yu Nian forced back the urge to curse and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
"Is there anything else you need, sir?"
"Yu Nian, this is my last warning to you. No matter whose side you are on or what your intentions are, if even a single word of what you saw today gets out, you know the consequences."
Chunyu Han's voice was deep and cold, making Yu Nian shiver even in her cotton cloak.
How petty! He dresses so provocatively, yet he's afraid of what people will say!
Yu Nian couldn't help but think that if outsiders knew that Chunyu Han dressed so flamboyantly in private, his fierce and ruthless persona would completely collapse.
Despite her thoughts, Yu Nian was able to control her tongue for the sake of her life.
"Sir, you're right. Of course I'm your man."
Upon hearing Yu Nian's reply, Chunyu Han sheathed his spear, took two steps past Yu Nian, and thought to himself that this person was already sweet-talking so early in the morning.
"Remember what you said, grab your soup, and come with me."
After Chunyu Han finished speaking, he walked forward without looking back. Yu Nian raised her eyebrows in confusion. What was he up to now?
