Chapter 29 Let’s take a rest together?
Ye Lanzhou was sleeping soundly. He was very tired after running around all night. He lay down on the bed without even changing his clothes. He threw the bag he was carrying on the octagonal table at the door. The bag was loose and the things inside were about to fall out.
Out of good intentions, Xie Chengyan wanted to help her close the bag, but he didn't hold it firmly and an iron dagger fell to the ground with a crisp "clang" sound.
He recognized it at a glance as something he had bought from the weapons shop at the entrance of the Nanyang black market. The workmanship and materials were average, but the only advantage was that it was cheap.
No one knew how Ye Lanzhou managed to avoid Zhang Qiyue's eyes and ears, and secretly bought a dagger.
Looking into the inner room, Ye Lanzhou was still asleep.
Xie Chengyan silently stuffed the dagger back into her. Although it was a sharp weapon, he was not yet at the point where he would be afraid of a woman.
She was sleeping soundly, breathing heavily.
This Ye Lanzhou is really novel. If you say she is smart, she didn't wake up even though he made such a big noise. If you say she is stupid, she was able to avoid Zhang Qiyue's eyes and buy this dagger on the black market.
Seeing her sleeping like this, Xie Chengyan felt inexplicably jealous. He was also tired after a night's sleep. After arriving in Shangjing, he hurried to the Forbidden City to meet Yu Guangcai and Yang Zheng. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, a feeling of sleepiness mixed with fatigue came over him.
He stretched out his hand and suddenly had an idea. He wanted to pinch Ye Lanzhou's nose as a prank, but he didn't expect that Ye Lanzhou suddenly woke up, with some bloodshot eyes. He looked at Xie Chengyan in a daze for a moment, and the hand that was stretched out to do evil stopped in mid-air.
The girl's eyes were slightly raised, not particularly beautiful, but more recognizable than others.
Ye Lanzhou was indeed asleep, but she was a light sleeper and woke up when Xie Chengyan stepped into the room. Seeing that he didn't wake her up, she wanted to see what he was going to do.
Who knew that he would just rummage through other people's bags? Didn't his mother teach him that he shouldn't touch other people's things?
Besides, there was a dagger in her package that she used for self-defense.
Yes, he found it, but he didn't take it away.
When Xie Chengyan walked up to him, she subconsciously thought he was going to kill her, but then she thought something was amiss. Since he had brought her to the palace, it meant he still needed her life for the time being. If he absolutely had to kill her, wouldn't it be easier to do it on the way to the palace?
"Your Majesty."
Ye Lanzhou spoke and glanced at his hands, as if asking him what he meant.
Her gaze made Xie Chengyan realize that his hand was still in mid-air, so he quickly retracted it, turned around, walked to the octagonal table outside the screen and sat down, saying, "You and I have been running around together, and I haven't rested yet, but you have."
"What else? Wait until the prince finishes his official business and rests with me?"
Xie Chengyan frowned, feeling uncomfortable. How could a girl from a noble family, even if she was not born and raised in the Ye family, speak so frivolously, just like a prostitute from a brothel.
Then he remembered that she had talked about her background on the road. He and she were both abandoned people, and he didn't understand why someone from a noble family could end up in such a state of mind as her.
Back when they were defending Jinling City, the army was running low on food and fodder, millions of corpses were piled before their eyes, and the enemy urged Xie Chengyan to surrender to the Nanman. Despite that situation, not a single soldier retreated; on the battlefield, they were all brave warriors shouting for battle. But what about Ye Lanzhou?
A woman's heart is not something that can be expressed openly.
