Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Although you are the girl’s brother, you should also avoid...
The moment she was touched——
Anger, anxiety, fear, resentment...all kinds of emotions appeared on that pale and weak face.
Blood gushed out from Yun Qinjun's white jade-like hands, drops of blood like crimson beads with broken strings. He ignored the wound on his hands and gently held Yun Ai in his arms, allowing her to resist the bites.
In a short while, Yunqin's shoulders, neck and arms were all covered with blood marks caused by her.
After a long period of comforting, she finally calmed down, like a hedgehog that had stopped fighting and put away its bloody thorns.
She raised her empty eyes, and a puzzled expression gradually appeared on her face, but she remained numb.
Yun Qin loosened his grip on her and let her put her hand on his jaw, copying his face bit by bit. After confirming something, she finally calmed down a little.
Yun Qin let her go and saw that she was sitting quietly on the ground. Her expression was strangely gentle, as if she was completely different from her previous irritable and angry look. Without thinking too much, Yun Qin stood up and brought the basin of water on the table to the ground in front of her, ready to wipe her dirty cheeks.
The ripples in the basin swayed gently, and the water surface that reflected the thin face of the little girl gradually turned into another grown-up and gentle face.
Yunqin's thoughts were brought back.
He lifted his hand from the water, and everything in the basin vanished. He wiped the water off his hand with a white handkerchief beside him, then pushed open the window and said in a deep voice, "It's foggy."
The secret guard Siwu suddenly appeared outside the window like a ghost: "Master, give your orders."
"Find out all of Young Master Tianque's whereabouts over the past month and send me a message within three days. Hurry."
"Yes." The mist disappeared into the dark night as quickly as it had come. Yun Qin looked at the sparse stars outside the window, his dark brown eyes unfathomable, and asked himself softly.
"Just stay with me, okay?"
After a sleepless night, the next morning the dawn broke and the early sun shone on my face.
March in Yanling is extremely beautiful. The houses on the long streets are hazy and ancient, and the tiled eaves and green walls are intoxicating to the eye.
Jiang Daiyi walked on the street, counting the number of secret guards hiding in the dark and following her.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around aimlessly.
If I remember correctly, there is a dark corner ahead, which is a good place to dump people.
Yun Qin went to see King Xianglin today. Given King Xianglin's violent and nosy nature, his meeting this time would be similar to the previous ones, and he wouldn't be back until midnight at the earliest.
So today is the best time to take action, it is definitely an auspicious day.
She walked slowly all the way until she was almost at a dark corner, then suddenly she started to jog quickly, holding up her robe.
The people following in the dark also sped up, but as soon as they turned a corner, the person they were following disappeared.
Several figures appeared hurriedly and landed on the ground to search, but the person disappeared in an instant.
Only after the secret guards left after searching in vain did Jiang Daiyi emerge from the hidden corner.
She looked around vigilantly, and only turned and rushed in another direction after seeing the secret guard really leave.
The eastern suburbs of Yanling is the only way for the Yun family's carrier pigeons to fly back to the Yun Mansion. As long as she catches one and replaces the contents inside, her mission will be completed.
The idea was good, but Jiang Daiyi forgot that the Yun family's carrier pigeons had received special training and were extremely difficult to catch. She spent quite a bit of effort and, after she could no longer bear it, she unsealed her internal energy and finally caught one, and only then was she able to successfully replace the message.
Jiang Daiyi wiped the sweat from her forehead, waved goodbye and let the carrier pigeon go. When she looked up, she found that the sky was completely dark and it was almost midnight.
She shuddered, thinking that the news of her disappearance must have already reached Yunqin, and she had to rush back before Yunqin returned home.
She hurriedly walked away in the direction of Yun Mansion. The sound of her hurried embroidered shoes stepping on the grass and the rustling of her robe brushing against the weeds startled countless skylarks in the ground.
Yun Mansion.
The pale moon is shrouded in gauze, and the night is dim.
In the dark, where no one was paying attention, a figure quietly sneaked into a bedroom through the back window.
At the same time, outside the dormitory wall, a team of guards pushed open the gate and rushed into the courtyard.
The butler was panting and almost jogging to barely keep up with the tall and gentle young man who was walking in the lead.
"Sir, Miss Yun'er has always been a light sleeper. She didn't sleep all night last night because she was worried about you being poisoned. She finally extinguished the candles with great difficulty... I'm afraid you'll disturb her sweet dreams if you go now, sir..."
A guard reminded the housekeeper: "Ms. Yun'er sneaked out today, and we don't know if she has returned yet."
"Ah?" The butler opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't know that the girl had sneaked out. He had always thought that Jiang Daiyi was in the mansion today, so he stopped Yun Qin.
The moonlight is faint.
Yunqin stopped in front of Jiang Daiyi's dormitory door and wanted to push the door open and go in like he did when he was a child.
The housekeeper walked to the door and stopped him, "Sir, this is extremely inappropriate."
"After all, this is a girl's boudoir. Although you are Miss Yun's brother, you should avoid suspicion. What if the girl has already returned..."
The housekeeper observed Yunqin's expression, fearing that he would open the door rashly.
It's okay when you're young, no one will say anything when you're young.
Although he has grown up and lives in a separate courtyard, Yunqin always enters the girls' bedrooms as if no one is there, and the housekeeper directly says that it is against etiquette.
In the dormitory.
Jiang Daiyi climbed in through the window and walked quickly to the edge of the bed, without even having time to change her muddy clothes.
She hurried to the closet to get some clean clothes, and just as she opened the closet, she heard Yunqin knocking on the door and asking questions.
"Sister, are you there?"
No one answered from inside the house.
Yunqin was still somewhat concerned about the girl's reputation and did not rush to push the door open.
He was like a pine tree under the moon, waiting patiently for a long time.
But seeing that there was no movement in the house and the safety of the people inside was uncertain, the next moment he raised his hand and pushed the door open.
After the door was closed from the inside, the butler opened his eyes wide with an expression of "this is against the rules", and his hand that was trying to dissuade him was frozen in the air.
In the dormitory.
Yunqin used the moonlight coming in through the window to walk unhindered to the edge of the couch behind the screen.
The girl on the bed was sleeping soundly, her untied black hair scattered messily on the pillow, and one of her nightgown sleeves was hanging over the edge of the bed, covered with wrinkles, as if she had been tossing and turning for a long time and unable to fall asleep.
She never sleeps well.
The bedding sank, and Yunqin sat on the edge of the bed, trying to tuck the corners of the quilt for her like he did when they were children.
Jiang Daiyi fell asleep, and a cool and refreshing fragrance entered her nostrils.
She had wanted to answer Yun Qin out loud, but she remembered Yun Qin's suspicious nature. If he didn't come in to find out where she had been today, he would probably send secret guards to investigate endlessly. Rather than letting the secret guards find out the truth, she might as well make up a false story to allay his suspicions.
Yun Qin lit the candle, and the sudden light made the sleeping girl frown slightly, as if she was about to wake up at any time.
Jiang Daiyi's hands, placed in the quilt, curled up nervously.
Yun Qin's gaze was fixed on the girl's face. Her eyelashes were curled and her eyebrows were lightly drawn. She was stunningly beautiful even before she opened her eyes.
Jiang Daiyi closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, not daring to let the visitor notice anything.
Yun Qin observed carefully for a while with his clear eyes. Seeing that the person on the bed was breathing calmly, he finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart all the way.
It was not the first time that the enemy had attempted to kidnap Jiang Daiyi. When he heard the news that she had disappeared outside, he was naturally worried.
Today, Prince Xianglin held a banquet to discuss matters. The attendant only said hesitantly in the evening that Jiang Daiyi was missing. He left Prince Xianglin and hurried back to Yun Mansion using fatigue as an excuse.
Yunqin stared at the girl on the bed intently. Fortunately, his sister was safe and sound.
The candle flame made a soft crackling sound.
Jiang Daiyi pretended to be woken up. She kept her soft eyes hazy and when she opened them she met a pair of warm, light tea eyes.
"Brother?"
"I woke you up, can you sleep a little longer?"
Yun Qin has a gentle voice, and when he speaks to Jiang Daiyi, there is always a hint of coaxing in his tone.
This is the tone Yunqin always uses when speaking to Jiang Daiyi.
The dim candlelight reflected the girl's soft and fair face, and her pure and bright eyes were full of worry.
Jiang Daiyi stared at the dark red spot on Yunqin's robe, "Brother, are you hurt?"
Yun Qin's face was calm, and he said softly, "No, it's just that some wine in the palace was spilled and stained my clothes."
Before Jiang Daiyi could speak, Yun Qin tilted his head slightly, his gaze apparently turning to the carved wooden cabinet where she stacked her clothes, as if he could see the clothes inside through the cabinet door.
Jiang Daiyi glanced at Yun Qin out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that his attention was always focused on the wooden cabinet, her eyes changed slightly, and she even unconsciously held her breathing.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, and a voice as smooth as broken jade rang out in the quiet bedroom.
"March is cold, and the dew is heavy. If you go out in the countryside and play in the water, it will harm your health."
Jiang Daiyi's expression changed almost imperceptibly when she heard that. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Yun Qin with a little uneasiness. Yun Qin's eyes were calm and reserved, and his usually gentle eyes were not clear at this moment, like a spot of lacquer stained with ink.
