Chapter 411 It's hard to guard against a thief within your own household, even if you guard against him day and night.
Twenty-six.
At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.
In the secluded courtyard, the evening glow of the sky was reflected on the calm pond.
Occasionally, a ripple would spread out, causing a circle of ripples on the entire calm water surface before returning to stillness, the mirror-like surface reflecting the willow branches swaying in the wind.
Unfortunately, the courtyard was empty at the moment, and no one was there to appreciate the tranquil scenery.
In the inner courtyard, sitting beside Chu Qinghe, Wanwan looked at him with slight confusion and said, "The other courtyard is much quieter now, so why do you come to this inner courtyard every time it's time to cook?"
In recent days, Wanwan has also discovered one of Chu Qinghe's peculiar habits.
It was one thing for him to get up late in the morning, but whenever Qu Feiyan and the others were cooking at noon or in the evening, Chu Qinghe would move from his room or the other courtyard into this inner courtyard.
Before Chu Qinghe could respond to Wanwan's question, Shuimu Yinji, standing to the side, smiled and said, "Because it smells like fireworks."
"The smell of smoke?"
Listening to what the jellyfish Yin Ji said, Wanwan's confusion only increased.
Seeing this, Shuimu Yinji said, "Qinghe once said, 'The warmth of human life is the most comforting thing.' The smell of firewood burning while cooking is a kind of warmth, which is why Qinghe likes to be in this inner courtyard."
Taking in what the Water Mother Yin Ji said, Wanwan gave Chu Qinghe a strange look.
It was clearly difficult to understand Chu Qinghe's unusual hobby.
Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji and Chu Qinghe did not continue to explain.
In Chu Qinghe's courtyard, many things require time to develop.
After a while, once everyone gets used to everything in this courtyard, they'll naturally develop a taste for it.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Chu Qinghe raised his head.
Immediately afterwards, Jellyfish Yin Ji also sensed something and looked at each other in two directions in the air.
As she watched the four figures moving rapidly from the north and south of the city under the warm sunlight, Shui Mu Yin Ji couldn't help but smile and say, "Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang are quite in sync, actually coming here together."
After Dongfang Bubai moved his headquarters from Blackwood Cliff to Bright Peak, the distance between them and Yushui City became similar to the distance between Yihua Palace and Yushui City.
Given the same time and distance, it's not surprising that the group would run into each other on their way here.
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan, who had just been chopping vegetables in the kitchen, grabbed her cleaver and approached the kitchen doorway.
Just as Qu Feiyan and her group approached the doorway, they saw Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai landing in the courtyard at almost the same time.
Upon seeing the two women, Qu Feiyan pursed her lips, then forced a sweet smile and greeted them before returning to the kitchen.
However, Qu Feiyan's face immediately fell upon entering the kitchen.
"The next few days won't be any good either."
A few breaths later, Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, Xue Qianxun, and Lianxing sat down one after another. Lianxing and Xue Qianxun were the first to greet Chu Qinghe warmly as "brother-in-law".
After everyone sat down, Yaoyue glanced at Dongfang Bubai and said, "This concerns the Great Ming Dynasty, why are you so eager to come?"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly, "If you want to fight as soon as you arrive, I can accompany you right now, but this time I may not be as lucky as last time."
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Yaoyue scoffed, "Ridiculous! A defeated opponent still dares to show off? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing the two women start bickering as soon as they sat down, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "Alright! Let's have some peace and quiet for the night first."
As soon as the words left their mouths, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue glanced at each other before turning their heads away.
Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji's smile deepened.
Although Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were not in the courtyard, Shuimu Yinji was able to monopolize Chu Qinghe all by herself.
However, it must be said that when the two women were away for a long time, Jellyfish Yin Ji would feel that something was missing.
Seeing the two of them bickering like children right in front of her, Jellyfish Yin Ji suddenly felt that everything was perfect.
When her gaze fell on Chu Qinghe, Yaoyue said, "The letter said that Gongzi Yu came two days ago?"
Chu Qinghe pointed to the courtyard opposite and said, "He is currently healing. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be here soon."
......
at the same time
In the courtyard opposite Chu Qinghe's residence.
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng was still sitting quietly in the courtyard.
However, unlike two days ago, Bai Xiaosheng was sitting on a simple wooden stool like an ordinary old man.
At this moment, the chair under Bai Xiaosheng's body had been replaced with a grand master's chair, and there was a wooden table in front of him.
While flipping through some files, he would occasionally write on some slips of paper with his brush, and then take a carrier pigeon from a cage next to him with a bamboo tube containing the slips of paper.
About ten steps away from Bai Xiaosheng, in front of the main house, Gongzi Yu's four personal attendants stood quietly without moving.
Inside the main house, Gongzi Yu lay quietly on the bed, his face deathly pale, and he had even stopped breathing.
Inside the room, Mingyue Xin stared motionlessly at Gongzi Yu lying on the bed, her face full of tension and apprehension.
She wanted to inject her true energy into Gongzi Yu's body to check the situation, but she was worried that it would affect Gongzi Yu, so she could only suppress her nervousness and wait quietly.
However, at that moment, Gongzi Yu on the bed suddenly began to tremble.
