Chapter 209 I suggest you check this person
"Of course!"
Lugua nodded immediately without a moment's hesitation, "Before I entered the palace, I promised the old man, the lady and the second young master that I would always protect the queen! Since the queen is leaving the palace, I naturally have to follow!"
Shen Chaoyan thought that she was not there, and she was still worried about leaving the little girl alone in the harem.
It would be better to keep her with her.
So, she smiled and said, "Okay, then you go pack your luggage!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Lugua got the consent and ran to her room happily.
On the other side, when Sikong Yan finished his government affairs and handed down all the matters, it was almost dark.
When he came to the Biyan Palace, Shen Chaoyan came out to greet him at the first time.
"How's the packing going?"
"Your Majesty, everything is packed, and we're waiting to set off tomorrow."
The two chatted for a while, and a little palace maid came in, "Your Majesty, the hot water you requested is ready, you can take a bath anytime."
Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard it, "Are you preparing for a bath?"
Shen Chaoyan nodded, "I'm going to Luocheng tomorrow, so of course I have to take a nice bath before leaving the palace."
It would be a long journey, and taking a bath would definitely not be as comfortable as in the palace.
Sikong Yan glanced at her and raised his thin lips, "My beloved concubine is right. It is inconvenient to do anything when you are away from home. You should take a good bath before leaving the palace."
Shen Chaoyan replied, "Then does Your Majesty want to go back to your Qianqing Palace and let Li Heguang prepare hot water for you?"
Sikong Yan's lips curved a little deeper, and he replied with a smile, "How troublesome is it to go back? Let's take a bath together."
Shen Chaoyan really didn't expect his frivolous operation, "Ah?"
Sikong Yan narrowed his eyes, "Is my beloved concubine unwilling?"
Shen Chaoyan curled the corners of his mouth, "How could it be? I am happy, very happy."
So, in the misty bath room.
Shen Chaoyan and Sikong Yan sat in the bathtub together, and the two took a bath face to face.
Although the two of them had done more intimate things than this, it was a bit embarrassing for them to look at each other so frankly.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Shen Chaoyan immediately found a topic and said, "Your Majesty, have you thought of a solution to the White Lotus Sect?"
"Not yet, I have to go to Luocheng to understand the situation firsthand before I can make a judgment."
Sikong Yan shook his head, paused, and said, "The White Lotus Sect is growing stronger and stronger, and now it has reached out to local officials and tried to bribe the court officials. The ambition of this gang is not ordinary."
Shen Chaoyan's understanding of the White Lotus Sect came from the Heavenly Book. She felt that the operation mode of the White Lotus Sect had many similarities with the pyramid schemes she knew in her previous life.
Such organizations develop followers by brainwashing people.
Don't underestimate this kind of folk organization.
Once the number of people grows to a certain extent, local officials may not be able to suppress them.
However, the information they receive is delayed. Just like Sikong Yan said, the specific situation of the White Lotus Sect will not be clear until we go to Luocheng.
Thinking of this, Shen Chaoyan handed a loofah bath towel to Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, this is a bath towel that I made when I was free. Try it, it's very powerful!"
Sikong Yan took the loofah and rubbed it on his arm, and it really felt good.
He rubbed for a while, then said to Shen Chaoyan, "Yan'er, I can't reach my back, can you rub my back? I'll rub yours later."
"I take a bath often, so I don't need to rub my back, but I can rub yours."
Shen Chaoyan said, and went behind the man and rubbed his back carefully, "Your Majesty, is this strength okay?"
Sikong Yan nodded, "Yes."
So, when Shen Chaoyan rubbed the ashes off him, she also patted his back.
"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my scrubbing and massage?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied."
Sikong Yan pulled her in front of him, put his forehead against hers, and slid his fingertips with thin fingers along her cheeks all the way down to her chin.
The man's gaze was fixed on her lips that were rosy and plump from the steam.
The water in the bathtub was still emitting wisps of mist, and the two of them seemed to have their own soft light filters in each other's eyes.
If they didn't do something, wouldn't it be a waste of the atmosphere that had already been set off to this extent?
Shen Chaoyan looked at the man's handsome face, raised her hands and circled the man's neck.
The distance between the two was shortened in an instant.
Her breath suddenly became hot.
How could Sikong Yan control himself?
He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
As they kissed, they became aroused.
Shen Chaoyan didn't even know when she was carried back to the bed.
Their lips and teeth blended, and their bodies...
Shen Chaoyan exercised a lot that night, and she didn't even know when she fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Chaoyan was woken up by being shaken.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a carriage.
Sikong Yan, who was sitting next to her, heard the noise and looked down at her, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah."
Shen Chaoyan snorted lightly and sat up from the cushion.
She reached out and lifted the curtain to look out the window, "Your Majesty, are we setting off?"
"Yes, we've already left the city."
The carriage rumbled along the official road towards Luocheng.
Shen Chaoyan stared out the window for a while before she was completely awake.
"Come and rinse your mouth and have some breakfast."
Sikong Yan placed a bowl of warm beef porridge in front of her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sikong Yan listened to her addressing him and reminded her gently, "After leaving the palace, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we have to use fake identities. You and I are husband and wife, so just call me husband from now on."
"Okay."
Shen Chaoyan finished breakfast and also figured out their current identities.
The newlyweds went to the south of the Yangtze River with their servants.
Li Heguang was the chief steward, Xuan Cang was the chief guard, and Lu Gua was the little maid.
The guards with excellent skills played the role of servants.
Because the White Lotus Sect developed very quickly, they went south along the official road, and from time to time they could see groups of White Lotus believers spreading their ideas and trying to develop new believers.
These people were all wearing pure white robes, which made them particularly conspicuous wherever they went.
In order to speed up the progress, Shen Chaoyan and his party rode non-stop all the way, and finally arrived in Luocheng seven days later.
The carriage stopped in front of a spacious and quiet courtyard.
After getting off the carriage, Shen Chaoyan looked at the three large characters on the vermilion lacquer door with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes -
Luxi Garden.
Deer can be seen when the trees are deep, and noon bells can be heard by the stream.
This name is quite elegant.
After entering the main gate, the view is wide, and the scenery in the garden is even more beautiful.
There is a large lake in the courtyard, and the rockery next to it is rugged.
A complex corridor was built above the mountains and waters, winding and twisting, connecting with the pavilions on the lake, and leading directly to the east and west.
The corridors on the east and west sides, with more than a hundred lattice windows carved with patterns, are enough to dazzle people.
Shen Chaoyan took a quick look around and was shocked by the luxurious scale of the villa.
She turned her head to look at Sikong Yan beside her and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, which official's private residence is this? I suggest you check whether this person has any corruption or bribery."
"Ahem!"
Sikong Yan coughed lightly, "This is my private residence. There is no corruption or bribery. It was purchased with the money from my private treasury."
