Chapter 069 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue
Zhen'er said: "It seems that a thief has entered the mansion, and they are catching him everywhere. I am worried that the thief has come to the young lady, so I came in to take a look. Have you heard any noise?"
Liu Yixuan shook her head.
Zhen'er: "Yes, you slept too deeply, and you didn't even hear me knocking on the door outside. For the sake of safety, it is better to let someone search the house, what do you think?"
Liu Yixuan nodded and pointed to the clothes hanging on the bed frame.
Zhen'er took the clothes and turned around to see Liu Yixuan lifting the quilt. She was wearing a thin undergarment and sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, and she seemed to be still very sleepy.
She smiled, helped Liu Yixuan put on his coat, and put on his shoes and socks, and called the guards outside to come in. They searched the room, even under the bed and inside the quilt. After making sure there was no suspicious person, she apologized and retreated outside.
Zhen'er took off Liu Yixuan's clothes again, and when she saw him lying back on the bed, she blew out the candles and left the bedroom.
System: [I was scared to death, I thought you were going to be exposed. Weren't you wearing a nightgown just now? How come it's gone all of a sudden?]
Xue Chen: [I took it off in the quilt.]
System: [Didn't I check it just now? There's nothing in the quilt.]
Xue Chen: [I stuffed it under the mattress while Zhen'er was taking the clothes. 】
System: [I was wondering why you kept moving. It looked like the movements were minor, but I didn't expect you to make so many small movements. 】
Xue Chen ignored it, thinking about what consequences today's changes would have.
The person he met in Wanyan Kang's study, if he hadn't guessed, should be Qiu Chuji.
When he sneaked into the study, it was impossible to lock it from the outside. As long as someone passed by the room and noticed that the door was not locked, they would realize that something was wrong.
Wherever you go, you will leave traces. No matter how carefully he thinks, there will be a time when he will be discovered.
Xue Chen had expected this day to come, but he didn't expect it to be tonight.
The spy that Wanyan Honglie placed next to him, on the contrary, provided him with proof in disguise that he would never suspect him. It's just that in the next few days, there will be major changes in the guards in the palace, and it is not suitable to make any big moves recently.
And I have to send a message to Lao Yan, lest he thinks I've been arrested.
-
Gong Jiu didn't stop along the way, and rushed back to Beijing as fast as he could. He didn't even take a carriage, but rode a horse all the way. His clothes and hair were covered with dust, and he finally arrived at the palace in the early morning.
He didn't knock on the door, but used Qinggong to climb over the high wall and return to his residence.
When passing by Xue Chen's room, Gong Jiu slowed down his pace. Seeing that the light was still on in the room, he frowned slightly, walked closer, and saw Xiao He dozing off beside him.
He touched Xiao He, and Xiao He suddenly woke up: "Big..."
Gong Jiu made a gesture to keep quiet, glanced outside, and motioned Xiao He to go out and talk.
Xiao He glanced at the bedroom, and saw Xue Chen was still there, and then she realized that the person in front of her was Gong Jiu.
She followed Gong Jiu outside.
The moon was like a hook, hanging high in the sky. The night was as cold as water. The moonlight made Gong Jiu's face even paler, and his eyes were as deep as a cold pond.
"What happened to my elder brother?"
Xue Chen had long told Xiao He what she could say and what she couldn't say.
Xiao He had no regard at all and said bluntly: "The eldest young master has had a headache for several days. He originally refused to take medicine, but the prince coaxed him to drink the medicine. Now he seems to be better, but a little sleepy."
Gong Jiu was not satisfied with this answer: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao He: "The eldest young master just endured it at first, and no one noticed that he was unwell. Until he couldn't bear it anymore, he asked the housekeeper for some peppermint oil. After I knew it, I wrote to you immediately, but the prince seemed more anxious, and the letter to you should have arrived earlier than my letter."
"It's better this way." Gong Jiu paused, "Come here."
Every time he asked Xiao He to come over, it was nothing more than two things. One was to ask Xiao He about her brother's daily life, and the other was to let Xiao He whip him.
Xiao He had been with him for so many years and knew his habits very well. She followed Gong Jiu and went to the next room with him.
Painful and pleasant gasps sounded in the night, and the voice was very similar to Xue Chen's.
Several vests had been offline, and only Xiao Liu was in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
Xue Chen was about to rest his brain when he was forced to log in to his real body.
He suddenly opened his eyes: [Tong'er, I had a nightmare! ]
The movement next door became clearer: "Ah... continue... hit me hard..."
Xue Chen: [Dream within a dream! ]
System: [Is there a possibility that this is real and not a dream? ]
Pei Rui was also awakened and regained consciousness.
Xue Chen faced the reality and said in a breakdown: [He is sick! It's three o'clock in the morning! Why does he have to come back at this time? It would be fine if he just came back, but he's in heat right away! I'm so unlucky to live next door to him for eight lifetimes! 】
System: [Tell your dad to move to a place farther away. 】
Xue Chen: [I don't. 】
System: [......] A stubborn brother control.
Xue Chen covered his head with the quilt to block out some of the sound.
Pei Rui, who lived farther away, got up directly, picked up his clothes and put them on.
System: [Are you going to knock him out? 】
Xue Chen: [Knocking someone out when he's in a good mood can easily cause impotence and make him more perverted. I'm his brother and can't be so vicious. 】
System: [Then what are you going to do? 】
Xue Chen: [I'll go to the Shenhou Mansion to see if there's any knockout drug. When I come back, it'll be time for him to finish this. Give him a little every night to make sure he sleeps soundly all night long.]
System: [……]
Pei Rui put on his clothes and shoes, picked up the knife beside him, got up silently, and went out of the small door of the palace.
On the way, he met the guards patrolling the front yard. He remained calm and continued to walk forward.
The guards looked at each other and whispered, "Mr. Pei, is this sleepwalking?"
Pei Rui paused: "...I heard it."
Because he was blind, he would not deliberately change his posture when speaking, and rarely looked at the other person with his eyes. It was the same at this time. When answering the guards behind him, Pei Rui still looked forward.
The guards didn't know he was awake. After hearing his reply, the whispering stopped, and another person whispered: "Third Master, where are you going?"
Pei Rui: "The Divine Marquis' Mansion."
Seeing that he answered every question, the guards boldly continued to ask: "Is there really a rift between you and the eldest master?"
The original body lifted the quilt, revealing half of his face: [What kind of bullshit question is this? What kind of rift can there be between me and myself. ]
System: [Yes. And your character as a gentle brother has not collapsed at all. He usually takes care of Xiao Mian so much, how could such a rumor spread?
Pei Rui said in a cold voice: "No."
Guard: "Then why did the eldest master try to please you several times, but you always refused? Don't you have a prejudice against our eldest master?"
Xue Chen: [It turns out that I played the role too successfully.]
System: [It feels like the entire Taiping Palace has a thick filter for you. Bring a dog and ask it whether it likes dad or mom, it has to answer that it likes the eldest master.]
Xue Chen: [You are getting better and better at scolding people.]
The system feels guilty.
Xue Chen: [...Are you really scolding me on purpose this time?]
System: [...]
Xue Chen: [You are dead! 】
The system panicked: [Dad, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again! 】
Pei Rui really didn't know how to answer. He couldn't just collapse his character at this time and loudly announce that he liked the eldest son the most.
He stood there thinking for a while, and left silently, leaving a deep back to the guards.
The guards continued to whisper: "No wonder the prince was so harsh to him."
"I heard that when sleepwalking occurs, people can't be woken up."
"Who of you will wake him up?"
-
It was still dark when Pei Rui arrived at the Shenhou Mansion.
He stood in front of the mansion and went straight to the old building.
The four buildings of the Shenhou Mansion, small, old, old and large, respectively store treasures and antiques, books and statues, fine wines and various weapons.
Except for the old building guarded by Zhui Ming, the other four buildings were heavily guarded. Only in Zhui Ming's place, it was hard to tell whether the wine was his own or Zhuge Zhengwo's. Anyway, Zhui Ming drank it all freely, and his drinking buddies often came to drink.
Letting Zhui Ming guard the old building was the same as letting Pai Sun Wukong guard the Peach Garden.
Pei Rui came in lightly. Zhui Ming was lying in the middle of several wine pots. He didn't know if he was tired or drunk, but his breathing was even and he was sleeping soundly.
He squatted down and waited for Zhui Ming for a while. Seeing that he had no intention of waking up, he reached out and touched his face and pinched his nose.
Zhui Ming couldn't breathe, and subconsciously raised his legs to attack, kicked a hard object, and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Xiao Mian? Why is it you?"
Zhui Ming looked at the thing he kicked just now, which should be the knife in Xiao Mian's hand.
Pei Rui: "Yeah."
Zhui Ming stood up and rubbed his head: "What do you mean by 'Yeah'? What time is it now? It shouldn't be a rainy day? It's not dawn yet?"
Pei Rui: "Yeah."
Zhui Ming: "Why did you come so early?"
Pei Rui lowered his eyes, his expression was cold: "Do you have a knockout drug?"
Zhui Ming asked: "What do you want the knockout drug for?"
Pei Rui: "To help me sleep."
Zhui Ming asked with a smile: "You can't sleep?"
Pei Rui: "That's fine."
Zhui Ming: "?"
Xue Chen: [It really works if you put yourself in someone else's shoes. Xiao Mian and I use knockout drugs to fall asleep, so we won't be woken up by my brother. ]
System: [This is not called putting yourself in someone else's shoes...Are you doting on Gong Jiu a little too much? Xue Chen: [
It's not spoiling, my brother is too cautious. It may not work if Xiao Mian feeds him the knockout drug. I can coax him, but once he finds out, my image will collapse. Anyway, it's not like he hasn't drunk the knockout drug before, so it doesn't matter if he takes it a few more times. 】
System: [……] Zhui Ming
