Chapter 16: The master has given orders and we must obey them.
After saying that, Yun Qingshi stood quietly beside a pillar and began to work hard to maintain the character of a secret guard.
He shouldn't have acted wrong, right?
The master has given orders and we must obey them.
If the master doesn't speak, the secret guard is just a piece of emotionless wood!
Well, that should be correct...
Looking at this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Jiwu's eyes, but he still caught the fleeting liveliness in Yun Qingshi's eyes.
Is this a performance?
Although he didn't know what kind of psychological journey the boy had gone through, Xiao Jiwu didn't say much.
He just said 'hmm' and then said calmly outside the hall: "Come here, change clothes."
As the prince finished speaking, a response soon came from outside the palace.
"yes."
The next moment, two maids entered the hall one after another.
One of them went straight to collect the curtains of the bedroom, while the other began to help Xiao Jiwu change clothes.
He worked quietly with his head down the whole time, as if he didn't dare to look around.
As for Yun Qingshi, he could only stand quietly by and act as a pillar.
But after standing like this for just a short while, he could no longer stand because his wound started to hurt again, and it felt like needles pricking him.
Yun Qingshi had anticipated that he would have a difficult time acting.
But he really didn't think it would be so difficult. Is he going to have to stand like this forever?
He can endure his injury but he can't endure it!
Does Xiao Jiwu even have any humanity left? He's also a patient after all! Can't they just let him sit down?
However, Xiao Jiwu never paid any attention to Yun Qingshi's meaning. He didn't even look at the young man again.
The two maids helped Xiao Jiwu change into light clothes and then left. The prince went to the desk and started reading.
During this time, a servant came in and served tea to Xiao Jiwu.
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was stunned.
Then what?
so what?
Is he going to stand there silently like this forever?
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but look up at the desk again and again.
He seemed to have acted successfully, but, this development, hiss...
It doesn't seem like what he wants.
But Yun Qingshi didn't know what to do. It was obvious that he forgot to consider his injuries when he was thinking of a plan.
Forget it, he decided to go get the silver first and take a break at the same time.
That's a valid reason.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi immediately spoke to Xiao Jiwu: "Your Majesty, I have to go back and pack my luggage. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to do so."
Xiao Jiwu had already noticed the glances the young man cast at him from time to time. At this moment, his face didn't show much expression. Hearing the voice, he just said calmly without even raising his eyelids: "Whatever you want to take, let Zhao Mingde go."
Sure enough, Yun Qingshi thought.
He had already anticipated Xiao Jiwu's actions, so he immediately gave the reason he had prepared in advance: "To answer your Highness, there are too many things to get, and I can't quite remember where they are, so I have to pack them myself. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will return as soon as I have collected the things."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu thought about it and didn't refuse.
He said, "Come back quickly."
Yun Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response: "Yes."
After saying this, he protected his wound and left Yian Hall.
————
With Xiao Jiwu's permission, no one would stop him this time.
However, it seemed that Zhao Mingde disappeared in the afternoon, leaving only two maids. Yun Qingshi guessed that they had gone to change shifts and rest.
It was already completely dark at this time, but there were lanterns in the yard and the moon was still bright.
Since he was familiar with the road, it didn't feel that far. Yun Qingshi quickly returned to the secret guard room.
Then he pushed the door open, entered the room, lit a candle, and the first thing he saw was the neatly folded quilt on the couch.
Yun Qingshi closed the door casually and walked over to test the comfort level.
After all, he still has to build it later.
It feels soft, delicate and smooth to the touch. Yes, it is the silk he wants!
Yun Qingshi nodded with satisfaction and moved to the table.
There was a thick stack of storybooks on the table, which looked like enough for him to read for half a month.
Yun Qingshi flipped through it casually and found that they were all the types he had talked about with Ying Twelve before.
But there was one thing missing, which was also his favorite thing, two men talking about love.
Realizing this, Yun Qingshi frowned slightly, feeling a little regretful.
He guessed that Shadow Twelve was not found.
Emotions came and went quickly, and Yun Qingshi's gaze then fell on the teacup next to him.
There were some silver bills under the teacup, and two pieces of silver next to it, which should be the money left over from buying things.
He was too lazy to order, so he just picked it up and went back to the chest of drawers.
Yun Qingshi then opened the drawer and took out all the silver bills and silver bars inside.
After rummaging through the drawer again, he took out a square cloth bag.
He saw this cloth bag when he was flipping through the banknotes yesterday. It was just right for holding these banknotes and silver.
After packing up the silver and carrying it with him, Yun Qingshi went to rummage through the wardrobe and found a bundle containing two sets of underwear and an outer robe.
The main reason is that the original owner didn’t have many clothes.
Then there were the storybooks. He didn't want to leave any of them behind and stuffed them all into his bag.
Now the bag is completely full.
However, everything Yun Qingshi wanted to pack had already been packed in.
After doing all this, Yun Qingshi sat down at the table with a mirror in his hand and began to study the mask he found in the cabinet.
This mask is no different from the ones worn by Ying Twelve and Ying Yi. Yun Qingshi tried to compare it with the mirror, and was immediately impressed by how handsome he looked.
It really feels so good!
People suddenly become cool!
After thinking about it, Yun Qingshi put on the mask directly.
His hair was just tied up casually, not tied up high, and it was a little difficult to tie at the back.
Since there was no rush to go back anyway, Yun Qingshi immediately started studying his hair again.
He found the hair crown that he had taken off on the first day he traveled through the book and tried to put it back.
Unfortunately, although his intention was good, his hands did not cooperate. After struggling for half an hour, he still failed to tie his hair up successfully.
Finally, Yun Qingshi came to a conclusion that tying hair is not as simple as it seems!
He gave up.
But Yun Qingshi still didn't want to go back for the time being, so he took out a storybook from his bag and read it for half an hour.
Then he slowly put on his mask, picked up his bag and returned to Yian Hall.
In Yian Hall, Xiao Jiwu heard the sound and looked at Yun Qingshi who came in, his brows slightly furrowed, and he seemed a little dissatisfied.
Yun Qingshi was frightened by such a look, but he still pretended to be calm and bowed as a greeting: "Your Highness."
Xiao Jiwu asked coldly, "It takes an hour to clean up your little rags?"
