The guards were scattered and searching everywhere. At this moment, the place was like a huge iron barrel surrounded by people searching everywhere. Those who were originally enjoying themselves in bed were disturbed by the commotion inside and outside.
Now that such a commotion has occurred, Ye Lian looked at the red-clothed, white-haired man like a mouse before a cat, hesitating and not daring to step forward to apologize.
The man in red with white hair had already spotted Ye Lian in the crowd.
He cast a glance at her, and Ye Lian, whose eyes met his, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground, crawling over in a trembling daze.
"Qing... Your subordinate greets... Greetings, Azure Dragon Envoy..."
Qinglong looked at Ye Lian kneeling in front of him, a slight smile curving his lips. Although he was smiling, it sent chills down one's spine.
"Ye Lian, the Pavilion Master asked you to deal with the government officials, how dare you let them escape... If the Pavilion Master finds out you messed up the job, your little life will be in danger..." Qinglong hesitated, then bent down with a smile, enjoying Ye Lian's frightened look.
Ye Lian turned deathly pale with fright. "Please, Azure Dragon Envoy, have mercy and save your subordinate..."
"Save you?" Qinglong sneered, looking at Ye Lian without a trace of pity. "You're just a worthless life, is it worth saving by this envoy?"
"Lord Azure Dragon Envoy, please save me! I'll offer you a beauty..."
Qinglong didn't care. "I'm already tired of people who live a life of debauchery. It's boring..."
Qinglong had only come here to have some fun, but he didn't expect to run into the thieves who suddenly appeared. After a brief exchange, Qinglong knew he wouldn't gain much, so he didn't intend to continue the fight.
Naturally, they wouldn't care what happened to Ye Lian.
After saying that, Qinglong kicked Ye Lian away and prepared to turn and leave.
Just as Ye Lian was in despair, an image of Su Yan indulging in lust flashed through her mind. Suddenly realizing this was her lifeline, she immediately stepped forward and hugged Qinglong's leg. "Qinglong Envoy, I have a beauty. Her appearance is breathtaking, unparalleled in the world. If you can get her, Qinglong Envoy, you will never regret it..."
"Oh~ Really?" Qinglong was indeed intrigued by the person Ye Lian was talking about.
Ye Lian nodded frantically, "It's true, in all my forty years of life, this is the first time I've ever seen such an androgynous beauty, but..."
"But what..."
"He's a government official..."
Qinglong chuckled. There was no one in the world he couldn't have if he wanted her. "I'll give you three days to bring her to my bed, or I won't be keeping your worthless life..."
"yes……"
Seeing that Qinglong had agreed, Ye Lian breathed a sigh of relief and urged her men to speed up the search, as she didn't want anyone to escape.
We searched back and forth for half the night, and dawn was just around the corner.
At this moment, Shen Yao, carrying Su Yan, had been hiding in the lake by the artificial hill for quite some time. Their escape route had been blocked, and the number of people patrolling the house was increasing, making Shen Yao hesitant to reveal himself.
The two were soaked in the lake water. Su Yan's body was alternating between feeling cold and hot, and she gradually started talking nonsense.
"Father...Mother...Don't abandon Yan'er...Father, Mother..."
Shen Yao reached out and touched her forehead; it was burning hot. If this continued, Su Yan would be burned silly.
Just as Shen Yao was worrying about how to escape, a commotion suddenly came from the front yard. Bai Yunfei and a group of constables burst into the Drunken Dream Palace, beating people and smashing things. Not content with the chaos, they even set the roof on fire, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
Just as Shen Yao said, Bai Yunfei made a huge show of things, and even the guards at the various intersections were called in to help.
Shen Yao climbed out of the lake, carrying the unconscious Su Yan, and took advantage of the chaos to leave Zuishengmengsi.
At this moment, Chang'an was still under curfew, and the clinics were not open. Su Yan's condition could not be delayed. Shen Yao remembered that he had medicine at home, so he carried Su Yan and ran all the way home.
Su Yan had inhaled aphrodisiac incense and had been soaking in the lake for half a day, so her body was now in a low temperature state.
Shen Yao closed the door tightly, and the charcoal fire inside burned brightly, soon making the room warm and cozy.
He brought a basin of hot water to wash Su Yan's body, but when he took off Su Yan's wet clothes, he was stunned.
Su Yan's chest was wrapped in layers of cloth, making her chest flat, and only then did Shen Yao realize it.
Su Yan... is she a woman?
At this moment, Shen Yao had only one thought in his mind, as if his world was collapsing before his eyes...
"Cough cough... Father... Mother..."
Lying on the bed, Su Yan started talking nonsense again, pulling Shen Yao's wandering thoughts back.
Shen Yao looked at Su Yan, who was extremely weak at the moment. He didn't care about the difference between men and women. He closed his eyes and groped with his hands to unwrap the cloth and warm her hands and feet.
After a flurry of activity, it was already dawn.
Su Yan's body temperature returned to normal, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Shen Yao looked at Su Yan with a complicated expression, seemingly unable to accept the fact that the person who shared life and death with him was a woman.
“Su Yan, how come you’ve turned into a woman after just a few days…” Shen Yao sighed, now he really didn’t know how to face Su Yan.
He couldn't understand what his awkward feelings for Su Yan from before truly were now...
Sunrise and sunset, and in the blink of an eye, it's dusk.
After being unconscious for a day, Su Yan regained consciousness. When she saw the unfamiliar bed curtains, she instinctively wrapped herself in the blanket and cautiously looked around.
Just then, there was a noise at the door, and Shen Yao walked in carrying the medicine.
Su Yan was surprised to see Shen Yao and instinctively asked, "Lord Shen, did you save me?"
Shen Yao nodded and handed her the medicine in the bowl. "You're awake, so drink your medicine quickly..."
“Okay…” Su Yan wanted to take the medicine bowl, but found that she couldn’t muster any strength. As soon as she moved, her body ached terribly, as if she had been run over by a car.
Su Yan realized something was wrong and subconsciously glanced at her lower body and chest, only to find that she was wearing someone else's clothes, but there were no suggestive marks on her body.
Shen Yao naturally understood what Su Yan's actions meant. He coughed awkwardly and explained, "When I saved you, those people living in a drunken stupor hadn't had a chance to do anything to you yet..."
"Then what's wrong with my clothes?"
Shen Yao scratched his head awkwardly, "Um... I fell into the lake when I was saving you, and my clothes... I changed your clothes..."
The more Shen Yao spoke, the less confident he became. His eyes darted around, too guilty to look Su Yan in the eye. At that moment, he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan was completely shocked. She subconsciously touched her chest and found that the wrapping cloth was gone.
Su Yan realized that her identity had been exposed, and she felt guilty and dared not look at Shen Yao.
Both of them glanced around nervously, their eyes meeting unexpectedly, and they fell into a long silence.
It seems that neither of them has accepted reality yet.
