Just then, Yun Jianyue spoke up: "Go to bed."
"Huh?" Zuan was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why she made such a request.
Yun Jianyue gave him an annoyed look: "Didn't you say to everyone that you were injured? You should be resting."
"Oh, that's true." Zu'an got into bed and pulled the blanket over himself.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I've slept in a bed in this house since it was given to him.
Just then, Yun Jianyue glanced at him again: "Clothes!"
Zu An looked puzzled. Yun Jianyue frowned and said, "You're usually quite clever. If you're sleeping, how could you possibly be sleeping with your clothes on?"
Zuan said "Oh," and took off his coat, but kept his mask on; the true face of the Embroidered-Robed Envoy could not be shown to others.
After he finished doing all this, he finally came to his senses: "What's the point of all this? The key is you, big sister. I'm not afraid of being seen."
Yun Jianyue hesitated for a moment, then directly lifted his blanket and crawled inside.
Zuan: "???"
Her long hair swept over her body, smooth and delicate like silk.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her and feeling her soft body, Zu An uttered a sentence after a long while: "I think you're lusting after my body!"
"Shut up!" A blush appeared on Yun Jianyue's fair face for the first time, but it vanished in an instant.
He sensed that she was using some kind of contortionist technique, twisting and turning in the blankets. Her body suddenly became extremely flexible, and her head shrank considerably. She was so small that he couldn't even tell there was another person inside him.
Zuan was immediately dumbfounded. In his previous life, he had seen girls who practiced yoga perform all sorts of incredible poses, but now he realized that compared to Yun Jianyue, they were nothing.
Whoever marries this woman will be incredibly happy.
"Do you want to die?!" At this moment, Yun Jianyue's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from under the covers.
Anger from Yun Jianyue: +999!
Zuan's face flushed, and he awkwardly twisted his leg: "This is a normal physiological reaction, beyond my control, I'm really sorry."
Cloud Moon: "..."
She turned her head to the side. "If you do this on purpose, I'll just rip you off!"
If she hadn't been truly desperate this time, why would she have resorted to such a desperate measure?
She knew that if someone came in to search later, hiding behind the half-curtain as before wouldn't work anymore.
Zhu Xie Chixin had no suspicions, which is why he didn't look closely. But the person outside was clearly prepared. Every corner of the room would be searched. Hiding outside the window for now was not a solution. Zu An had just mentioned that there was already a circle of guards surrounding the area. If he climbed out the window now, wouldn't he be exposed immediately?
As a result, this brat took advantage of him!
Anger from Yun Jianyue: +233 +233 +233...
Could he be a beastman? Or perhaps a half-beastman? But judging from his appearance, he looks completely human.
Yun Jianyue, being the leader of a sect, understood the importance of relationships and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
At this moment, Cheng Xiong's impatient voice came from outside: "Eleventh Lord, if you don't open the door soon, I have reason to suspect that you are harboring a wanted criminal here, and I will simply barge in!"
Although the room has a protective formation, the formation has a limit to its defense and is certainly no match for the bombardment of an eighth-rank general leading a group of experts.
At this moment, Zu An pressed the key to the house number, and the gate of the courtyard opened automatically: "General Cheng, search if you want. Anyway, I just moved in today and I don't have much. It's easy to find out."
Cheng Xiong was somewhat surprised that this guy actually let them in. Could it be that he had really wronged him?
However, he didn't draw a conclusion so quickly. He waved his hand, signaling his men to search carefully. They were professionals in search, and they wouldn't be able to hide any secret rooms or cellars hidden in the courtyard.
He himself walked straight toward the main house: "Please forgive me, Lord Eleven, but I am here on official business."
Although he had his doubts, he still had to be polite, after all, everyone worked in the palace and some face-saving was necessary.
“There’s no need for apology or not. General Cheng, please make yourself at home after you’ve finished searching. I was just about to rest and heal my wounds.” Zu An struggled to sit up halfway in bed, perfectly befitting someone who had been woken up.
"So, Lord Eleven was sleeping? Didn't you just go to the Imperial Hospital?" Cheng Xiong stared intently at the other man, hoping to discern something unusual from his expression, but unfortunately, the other man was wearing a mask and couldn't see anything at all.
He had no doubt about this. The true identity of each Embroidered-Robe Envoy was very mysterious. They never showed their true faces to anyone. It would be reasonable for him to wear a mask even when he was sleeping. On the contrary, it would be strange if he didn't wear a mask.
Zu An chuckled, "It seems General Cheng came prepared; he's investigated quite thoroughly."
Cheng Xiong wasn't annoyed. He smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. Since the Emperor has assigned me to investigate these assassins, I must do my best and not let any clue slip by."
"I wonder if General Cheng has found out anything?" Zu An frowned secretly, wondering why this guy would target him. Logically speaking, they had no grudges against each other, and he was a Gold Medal Embroidered Robe Envoy. There was no reason for him to be so disrespectful.
“Those assassins are too cunning. We haven’t found anything of value yet, but I believe there are definitely some assassins who have escaped from the net in the palace. We just don’t know where they are hiding. But it won’t be long before we find them,” Cheng Xiong said.
"I wish General Cheng a resounding victory." Zu An couldn't help but admire how perceptive this guy was, actually guessing the truth. It was a pity that this guy was an enemy, which made things difficult.
