He Zheng's eyes were as black as ink.
His fingertips caressed Xie Qingyao's lips bit by bit.
"Hmm..." Xie Qingyao's eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her sleepy eyes.
Her mind was still in a state of confusion, and she could only mumble, "He Zheng, you're back."
He Zheng lowered his eyes, "Yeah."
Xie Qingyao wanted to get up, but he pushed her back down and said, "Yaoyao, continue sleeping."
Xie Qingyao lay back down with peace of mind, trying to keep herself awake.
After a while, He Zheng fell asleep next to Xie Qingyao.
Suddenly, Xie Qingyao rolled over and rolled into He Zheng's arms skillfully. She put her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest.
Surrounded by the cool air, she slept surprisingly relaxed.
Until she wrapped one leg around his waist, He Zheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he grabbed her ankle with his big hand and gently moved her leg away.
But not long after, the legs wrapped around him again, deliberately preventing him from sleeping.
He Zheng glanced at her peaceful sleeping face, resisted the urge to wake her up, supported her soft neck, and pecked her lips lightly.
The next morning.
Xie Qingyao woke up and found herself clinging to He Zheng like an octopus.
He Zheng opened his eyelids and moved his lips: "Yaoyao is annoying when she is awake, and she is also annoying when she is asleep."
“…”
Xie Qingyao felt a little guilty: "It was purely an accident, it won't happen again."
She was just tired yesterday, not because she had a bad sleeping posture.
In an instant, Xie Qingyao touched something, her face changed, and she struggled to get out of his arms.
She didn't do anything in broad daylight, so why did this person react?
She glared at He Zheng and said, "Your Majesty should improve your self-control. Otherwise, if a beautiful woman comes and uses a honey trap, you might fall into their trap."
He Zheng pinched her cheek and said lightly: "The beauty trap will only succeed if Yaoyao uses it."
There are only two kinds of people in his eyes, Yaoyao and others.
In his eyes, other women were no different from men, and there was no gender difference at all.
The two got up and had breakfast.
He Zheng took Xie Qingyao out.
"Where is the Marquis taking me?" Xie Qingyao raised her eyes and asked curiously.
He Zheng: "Take Yaoyao out to relax."
Relax...
Why doesn't she believe it?
He Zheng: "The spies tracked Li Qianluan to Qingshui Lane in the north of the city."
Xie Qingyao: "Shall we go catch her now?"
He Zheng paused, "Does Yaoyao want to catch her immediately, or does she want to see what she's going to do?"
Li Qianluan escaped from the cold palace and did not leave Shangjing. She must be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on them, and the only person she could use was Ming Chonglun of the Imperial Observatory.
Xie Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's not arrest her. It would be more interesting to let her revenge fail and catch Ming Chonglun at the same time."
"Yeah." He Zheng guessed that she would choose this, then took her hand, "Then let's go make trouble and ruin her plan."
Xie Qingyao instantly became interested and smiled excitedly, "Okay."
Xi Feng, who was watching from the side, sighed, "The Lord has completely changed!"
In the past, adults would not play roundabout or cat-and-mouse games with their enemies. They would just kill them with one strike.
Now, in order to please the lady, I’ve given the enemy a break…tsk tsk tsk.
My lord, we are trapped.
Love is such a scary thing.
Xi Feng shook his head, his gaze unconsciously fell on Mo Zhu, and then moved away awkwardly.
The streets were bustling with traffic. He Zheng brought Xie Qingyao to a market where vendors' cries of hawking were heard incessantly.
They turned into a secluded alley, and Xie Qingyao discovered that there were vendors here as well, but the things they sold were different from those outside, mostly some strange and weird things.
Xie Qingyao raised an eyebrow, "Could this be the rumored black market?"
He Zheng: "Yes, most of the things sold here are of unknown origin and difficult to trade openly, so it doesn't matter if they are put on the black market."
Perhaps it was because it was rare to see people dressed so brightly and beautifully, accompanied by servants and maids. They were clearly a young man and a young lady who had strayed into this place by mistake.
Occasionally, one or two such ignorant fat sheep would break into the black market and be slaughtered at will. Some people even left their underwear behind.
The vendors' eyes began to become fearless, greedy, and sinful.
Xie Qingyao frowned.
He Zheng glanced at one of the stall owners, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Don't you want the eyes anymore?"
The stall owner's scalp felt numb and a chill ran down his crown.
Well, this is a tough guy.
Looking at the murderous aura on He Zheng, I was scared to death. I wonder if he has really been stained with blood. I can't afford to offend him.
Xi Feng sneered, and these people became obedient after being beaten.
Xie Qingyao followed He Zheng into a shop. Unlike the vendors outside, this was actually a shop, which showed that the owner was of great importance.
The boss was a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his right eyebrow, which made his face look fierce.
He glanced at the few people who came in and asked, "What goods do you want to buy? As long as you have enough money, I, Mr. Tan, can get it for you."
Xi Feng: "I'm afraid you can't get what we want."
After he finished speaking, the eyes of several waiters in the shop became fierce.
Xie Qingyao felt that these people were not good people and were full of banditry.
Master Tan smiled and said, "Little brother, just ask for it. There is nothing that Master Tan can't get."
Xi Feng opened his mouth and uttered two words: "gunpowder."
In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely weird.
Mr. Tan's expression changed. "Catch them!"
Almost the moment he opened his mouth, the waiters moved, but Xifeng and Shuangyue Mozhu moved even faster than them.
