Chapter 224 His love for Xiao Jiwu is actually very deep
However, after thinking about it, Yun Qingshi said, "That's fine. However, I want to give everyone an extra New Year gift. You've all worked hard this year, so I'll give everyone one or two taels of silver. You can decide how much to buy, snacks, fruit candies, etc."
Hearing this, Zhao Mingde's face was immediately filled with admiration: "Yes, I will give the order in a moment. Your Excellency is very thoughtful."
The subordinates will remember the kindness of the master and work harder in the coming year.
Yun Qingshi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He coughed dryly and said, "Also, let's add some good cotton-padded clothes to the shopping list. The kind that are both light and warm. I see that Ying Twelve and the others are wearing too little, but they don't need to be too thick. They might not be used to it if it's too thick."
He knew that the secret guards needed to wear light clothing when carrying out their missions, but staying warm was also important...

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. After directing the people below to do the general cleaning, Zhao Mingde supervised them in the afternoon to start hanging red silk in the palace.
After all, the Chinese New Year is supposed to be a festive occasion.
Yun Qingshi was standing in the yard wearing a cloak and holding a hand warmer, watching everyone hang red silk.
There was still no news from Xie Fenchuan, and he was a little anxious. It was noisy outside, so he couldn't concentrate on reading the storybook. He just came out to join in the fun.
But he had only stood there for a moment when Zhao Mingde came to his side and said with a worried look on his face, "Sir, you've just recovered from your cold. Why don't you go into the palace? Be careful not to catch a cold again. The prince will be worried."
Yun Qingshi: ...
He's really not that fragile, okay?
However, Yun Qingshi did not refuse directly. He used the method of delaying: "Okay, I'll go in in a moment."
But this moment can be long or short, he can make it as long as he wants.
Zhao Mingde didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and continued to get busy.
About two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Jiwu returned to the yard.
Yun Qingshi heard the voice and looked in the direction it came from. When he saw it was Xiao Jiwu, he smiled.
Xiao Jiwu quickly walked up to the young man and asked with concern, "Why are you standing in the yard at this time? Aren't you cold?"
Yun Qingshi shook his head upon hearing this, and showed Xiao Jiwu his hand warmer, then explained: "I have this, it really doesn't keep you cold. I was just bored, so I came out to see how everyone is preparing for the New Year."
The weather today was quite good. The sun hadn't set yet, so the yard wasn't too cold. Therefore, Xiao Jiwu nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Yun Qingshi asked worriedly, "Awu, is there any news?"
What Yun Qingshi asked about was naturally the news about Xie Fenchuan.
Xiao Jiwu also knew it. He shook his head gently and replied softly, "Not yet. I will tell you as soon as I have any news."
He then took the boy's hand and gently advised, "But this matter is beyond our control. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi nodded: "Okay..."
Forget it, if he can’t find the person, then he can’t find him. Anyway, he has already told Xiao Jiwu about the subsequent plot, so there shouldn’t be any conflict even if he can’t find the person.
But he still couldn't help feeling a little lost.
He will always be worried until the problem is solved.
But at this moment, a secret guard hurried over and knelt on one knee beside Xiao Jiwu.
"Master, there is news."
This is Ying Liu, whom Yun Qingshi had only met once before.
This time, Xiao Jiwu sent Ying Wu and Ying Liu to keep an eye on Xie Fenchuan. Now Ying Liu suddenly came back and said there was news, so it must be news about Xie Fenchuan!
Realizing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Xiao Jiwu ordered in a deep voice: "Follow."
After saying that, he took Yun Qingshi into Yian Hall first.
Yingliu also quickly stood up and followed.
After taking Yun Qingshi by the hand and sitting down beside the couch and instructing Ying Liu to close the palace door, Xiao Jiwu opened his lips again and said, "Speak."
Ying Liu quickly knelt down and replied, "My lord, the person you were looking for entered the city just a moment ago. Ying Wu secretly followed them, and I have returned to report."
Yun Qingshi:!
Yun Qingshi was overjoyed when his guess was confirmed.
Found it, I actually found it!
It was worth their effort!
Xiao Jiwu acted much calmer. He simply continued to instruct calmly, "Got it. Go and meet up with Ying Wu immediately and keep a close eye on them. Remember, don't alert the enemy."
Shadow Six: "Master, don't worry. Shadow Five will only follow from a distance to ensure that you don't get lost and won't be noticed. I will be there right away."
Xiao Jiwu nodded slightly, and Ying Liu quickly retreated and left.
There were only two people left in the room. Yun Qingshi immediately grabbed Xiao Jiwu's hand and asked anxiously, "When are we going to find Xie Fenchuan and ask him for help?"
Xiao Jiwu was immediately dissatisfied after hearing this. He looked at Yun Qingshi and asked, "Qingqing, are you so anxious to see others?"
Yun Qingshi:???
Yun Qingshi was instantly amused, and then he went over and sat on Xiao Jiwu's lap. He then put his arm around Prince Yi's neck in an ambiguous way, and whispered in the man's ear, "Awu, are you jealous?"
Xiao Jiwu didn't deny it. He said, "Yes, I don't like Qingqing thinking about other people."
"Okay." Yun Qingshi responded with a smile.
This is Prince Xiao, who has always been upright and honest in certain matters.
Yun Qingshi then rubbed the man's cheek and said, "But you clearly know why I'm anxious to see him. You also know that you are the only one in my heart. My heart is so small that it can only accommodate you."
"But if this matter isn't resolved, I'll always be worried about you. I'm afraid of that outcome, and I desperately want to change."
How could Xiao Jiwu not know this? Upon hearing this, he kissed the corner of the boy's lips, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and then said: "Then, after this is over, you are not allowed to think about Xie Fenchuan anymore."
Besides really not wanting the young man to think about others, Xiao Jiwu actually also wanted to hear the young man say that he was the only one in his heart.
Now that he has achieved his wish, he is in a happy mood.
Yun Qingshi answered simply: "Of course."
Even if he wanted to, he would only support the couple. He is now increasingly realizing that his love for Xiao Jiwu is actually very deep.
Yun Qingshi then asked again: "When are we going to see him?"
Xiao Jiwu replied: "Tonight."
Yun Qingshi:!
"good!"
It’s easier to get things done on a dark and windy night.
————
That night.
All is quiet, and the dew is heavy.
A carriage drove quickly on the road and finally stopped in a quiet alley.
"Are we there yet?" Yun Qingshi immediately asked in a low voice when he noticed the carriage had stopped.
"We're here." Xiao Jiwu replied in a deep voice.
