Chapter 27 Send Her Home
Holding on to the car wall with her hands and stepping on the steps, Yun lifted her skirt and prepared to try to go up again.
The result was expected failure.
As I sighed, a hand suddenly appeared in front of me.
The broad palm faces upwards, the five fingers are slightly bent, slender and strong.
Yun Wan raised her head and met the gaze of the owner of the hand through the half satin curtain. The meaning was self-evident.
She was slightly stunned.
Emperor Jingxuan opened his thin lips slightly, and said in a cold tone: "What are you daydreaming about?"
Yun Wan was flattered, "Thank you, thank you, Master Qi."
I put my hand into his palm, and felt a burning sensation when my palms touched. My five fingers were gripped, and then there was a strong force.
Following this force, Yun Wan leaned forward, and her whole body seemed to be in the air for a moment. When she came to her senses, she had already stepped onto the carriage.
Entering the carriage, Yun Wan sighed in his heart, it was worthy of being the carriage of the most noble person in the world. It looked like a BMW from the outside, but it was even more mysterious from the inside.
The carpet is made of deerskin velvet, the curtains are made of jade jewelry, and the silk cushions are so comfortable that you can't feel any bumps. There is a half-person-wide soft couch built in, with pleasant incense. Every detail reveals exquisite luxury.
Yun Wan found a place near the satin curtain and sat down with her legs together, a standard lady's sitting posture. Her head was slightly lowered, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.
The wheel turned slowly, and she lifted the curtain and looked outside. It was the direction of Duke Lu's mansion.
Yun Wan felt a little relieved.
At this moment, a cold voice came from my ear: "Madam, why don't you just sit on the shaft of the cart?"
Facing the mocking look from Emperor Jingxuan, Yun Wan raised her hand to straighten the hem of her skirt and said sheepishly, "My clothes are dirty, and I'm afraid they'll stain your carriage."
Two East China Sea night pearls lay quietly on the black nanmu table, shining brightly in every corner.
Emperor Jingxuan had an excellent eye and with the help of the light, he instantly noticed Yun Wan's clothes at the moment.
The black bun was slightly loose, and a few strands of hair broke free from the hairpins, falling from the temples and the back of the neck, sticking to the porcelain-white skin.
The dress, which was originally neat, now looked wrinkled at the cuffs and hem, as if it had been crumpled into a ball and then spread out. The moon-white color had a few gray stains, and if you looked closely, you could even see some burnt holes.
His narrow, long eyes slightly raised, his long gaze resting on her fair, plump cheeks. Emperor Jingxuan sneered, "Madam, did you roll onto the stove?"
Yun Wan subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, and suddenly there was a dust stain on the back of her hand, which was as clean as jade. Her ears felt slightly hot, and she muttered softly: "It's not..."
Ashes were flying in the fire and inevitably fell on people. Yun Wan had tried his best to avoid the places where the fire was raging in Anyifang, but he didn't expect that he would still be covered in black ash.
It seems that this dress can no longer be worn, Yun Wan thought silently.
Little did she know that in the eyes of the man in front of her, she had become a white jade cake rolled in the stove ash.
Emperor Jingxuan pursed his lips and said, "Madam, you are quite kind-hearted. Naturally, the government will take care of the firefighting and rescue efforts. Why are you joining in the fun? Or do you think that your two buckets of water alone can put out a fire?"
Yun Wan was shocked. "How did you know?"
Emperor Jingxuan stared at her without saying a word.
His slender and strong body was wrapped in a dark robe. He was leaning on the carriage couch, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and his posture was lazy and casual, which made people's hearts tremble and hold their breath unconsciously.
Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes to avoid him.
At this time, Jiang Fusheng's voice came from outside the carriage: "Mrs. Lu, you don't know that the Seventh Master was just at Tianxiang Tower, so he saw your heroic act of saving people. Mrs. Lu is really as brave as a man!"
Tianxianglou, located diagonally opposite Anyifang, is a five-story restaurant. Standing on a high building, it overlooks the entire Anyifang.
Jiang Fusheng's words not only cleared up Yun Wan's confusion, but also made her blush.
She laughed dryly and said, "Eunuch Jiang, you're too kind. I just happened to lend a hand and help a little."
What kind of heroic deeds and how women are as good as men made her feel ashamed.
but--
She looked at Emperor Jingxuan suspiciously: "Why are you there?"
Today is the Cold Food Festival. As the Emperor of the Great Qi, shouldn't he be offering sacrifices to his ancestors and gods at the Temple of Heaven? Why is he appearing outside the palace?
The hand stroking the ring paused, and Emperor Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Madam, are you curious?"
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head.
Even though she was curious, she didn't dare to nod.
The corners of Emperor Jingxuan's mouth twitched, as if he was chuckling, and his lazy and majestic voice sounded faintly: "There is a spy from the Empire hidden in my Great Qi for many years. Today, I have found some clues. I came to take a look."
Yun Wan was surprised: "Spy?"
Then she remembered something and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "It's a matter of state, so please don't tell me about it."
Otherwise, if something goes wrong later and she is implicated, it will be terrible.
Who would have thought that Emperor Jingxuan was not shy about it? He raised his arm and changed his posture, saying leisurely, "It's okay to tell Madam. After all, the spy Madam knows her."
He glanced at the woman opposite him with an ambiguous look.
"Who?" Yun Wan asked subconsciously.
"Rich businessman Luo Yongcheng."
"Boss Luo?"
Yun Wan was stunned, his expression unable to hide his surprise.
"I didn't expect that he was actually a spy from the enemy country... After the fire was extinguished, I saw his body being carried out, and I felt sorry for him." She murmured with a sigh.
“So this fire…”
Yun Wan glanced at Emperor Jingxuan secretly, but she didn't expect that he would catch her glance.
Emperor Jingxuan sneered, "Madam, what's with that look in your eyes? Do you suspect I was the one who set the fire?"
Her heart pounded, and Yun Wan hurriedly shook her head: "I dare not."
Emperor Jingxuan scoffed, "It's just a desperate dog that thinks a fire can destroy all traces."
Yun Wan immediately understood that the fire in Anyifang was most likely started by the enemy's own people.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard Emperor Jingxuan ask, "Madam, why did you suddenly appear there?"
Yun Wan murmured, "I heard that the Hu merchant returned from outside yesterday. I think he got a lot of good goods. I want to buy some spices from him."
Emperor Jingxuan: "Spices?"
Yun Wan nodded and explained, "You asked me to imitate the incense last time. I went out today to find some special spices to try. I didn't expect to encounter something like this..."
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She was startled and looked at Emperor Jingxuan with an uneasy expression: "You, don't suspect that I have any connection with the enemy's spies, do you?"
A stunned expression appeared on this dirty face, adding a bit of liveliness to the ordinary look.
Seeing the fear and timidity in her eyes, Emperor Jingxuan said ambiguously, "According to the rules, anyone who appeared there in the past two days is considered suspicious and should be taken to the Criminal Justice Department for questioning."
"Interrogation?"
Yun Wan's mind went blank.
Emperor Jingxuan had a sparse brow and looked dignified and solemn.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Yun Wan's expression became unpredictable.
"You must be joking with me." She suddenly said.
Emperor Jingxuan stared at her calmly, "Why do you say that, Madam?"
Yun Wan bit her lower lip lightly. "If what you said was true, you would have sent me to the Criminal Justice Department just now. How could you be so kind as to send me back home?"
Emperor Jingxuan remained silent, and Yun Wan's guess became more certain.
Outside the carriage, Jiang Fusheng secretly complained, fortunately Madam Lu reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been scared and cried like she did just now. Wasn't it His Majesty himself who was trying so hard to comfort her?
At the same time, I can't help but wonder, when did Your Majesty start to like gay jokes?
