Chapter 133: Substituting the Tiger Tally! Defective Products of Modern Industry
Just as He Zhaojun was about to speak, Wen Ziduan interrupted her: "Don't say nonsense like you'll be a slave in your next life. You're always fooling people."
“…” Having been seen through by you, He Zhaojun grinned in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Wen Ziduan stretched out his finger and gently touched her cheek, pretending to be silent: "Hmm..."
He still remembered the feeling of pinching He Zhaojun's cheek last time. After all, he had never thought that one day he would want to get close to a girl so much, even if it meant bullying her.
Pinch my face again, and I'll reluctantly agree to your request.
He Zhaojun misunderstood and her face flushed: "There are so many people here! It's always like this..." She remembered the last time, in the carriage, when Wen Ziduan kissed her, and her face turned red from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears.
So she moved closer to Wen Ziduan, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. She didn't dare to look at his expression, but lowered her head, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Facing the sudden kiss, Wen Ziduan was also confused. He knew that He Zhaojun had misunderstood his meaning, but he was secretly happy: "You...ahem, well, I promise you."
He Zhaojun nodded in panic and quickly went into the side hall, refusing to come out to see anyone. After waiting for a long time, a familiar guard finally brought the things.
When He Zhaojun opened it, she found it was indeed indistinguishable from the real thing, and even had a strong magnetic property. Even Ling Buyi, who had come into contact with the tiger talisman before, would not be able to find the flaw in a short time.
On this side, Wen Ziduan, at He Zhaojun's request, went to visit the prince's bedroom after noon, and kept the crown princess and the prince busy for a while, while He Zhaojun skillfully climbed through the window and entered the bedroom from the side hall.
She swapped the real and fake tiger talismans, casually slipping the real one into her sleeve, and looked around. Good, the arm turning transparent that had appeared before hadn't happened today. In other words, her actions hadn't affected the main storyline.
If my guess is correct, tonight, the prince will listen to Sun's words and hand the tiger talisman to Sun Sheng for safekeeping because he is worried about the theft. The Marquis of Xiaoyue will also take action in Zigui Villa.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard hurried footsteps outside. It was obvious that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had returned early. She was startled. It was too late to try to escape through the window again, and she had no way to explain why she was there.
"I still feel uneasy. The third brother came here today and said something incomprehensible. Do you find it strange?" The prince was smart for once, but she caught up with him. He Zhaojun felt anxious when she heard this.
The Crown Princess's voice came: "Yes, I also feel that it is not right. He is not coming for the tiger talisman, is he? Go and see if the tiger talisman is still there?"
Seeing someone approaching, He Zhaojun lowered her head and wanted to hide under the bed. At worst, she would hide there until tomorrow, when the prince and the crown princess came to court, and then it would not be too late for her to leave.
Someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind, and like pulling up onions from dry land, he jumped her onto the beam. "Shh, don't say anything. The Third Prince sent me to pick you up."
He Zhaojun was still in shock when she saw the prince and the crown princess come in. She hurriedly looked around at the tiger talisman before leaving with peace of mind.
Gu Guan whispered, "They have already left. I will take the young lady away. But please do not praise me in front of His Highness. I cannot bear the consequences."
Before he finished speaking, he reached out and touched a mechanism on the beam. A skylight appeared next to it, wide enough for one person to pass through. He Zhaojun quickly climbed out and reached the roof. However, before she could stand firm, someone grabbed her by the scruff of the neck.
"Is Gu Guan's Qinggong really as good as you say?"
