Chapter 105 Now that I have had a good rest, it is time for Eleven to fulfill his promise
Prince Xiao was amused by what he saw, but he didn't explain much. He simply held the back of the boy's head and exchanged a long kiss with him. After a long while, he said, "Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight."
We have to wait until the young man has rested well and is in the best condition before we can enjoy ourselves, right?
Yun Qingshi did not understand the hidden meaning of Prince Xiao's words. He just gradually relaxed after hearing that he was safe tonight.
"Okay..." He then responded obediently.
Looking at Yun Qingshi's well-behaved face, Xiao Jiwu couldn't help but curl his lips, and his fingertips gently stroked the boy's soft long hair. He said in a hoarse voice: "Eleven, you must be exhausted these days. Lie down and rest."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi was stunned and felt a chill on his back for a moment.
He always felt that Xiao Jiwu's words were inexplicable, and that there was something else behind his words...
But it was clearly just a simple word of concern.
Unable to figure out the reason, Yun Qingshi agreed again: "Okay, let's go to sleep."
He was indeed a little sleepy.
After Xiao Jiwu let him go, he fell back and lay down comfortably. Feeling comfortable, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh: "Huh~"
I have to say that the bed in the palace is more comfortable. Things produced by the royal family are indeed better than those outside.
Of course, it’s still not as comfortable as modern mattresses, but it’s okay once you get used to it.
But when his thoughts turned, and he thought about the fact that he had gone out with great difficulty but returned with nothing, Yun Qingshi was no longer happy.
I don't know how to spend the rest of my life, I'm so lost...
The more Yun Qingshi thought about it, the more upset he became, and he even had a slight headache.
It's annoying, go to sleep, don't think about it anymore...
As for Xiao Jiwu, after Yun Qingshi lay down, he lay down as well.
He rushed to Jinnan City last night and then rushed back to attend court overnight, so he was sleep deprived.
However, Xiao Jiwu did not rush to sleep. He waited patiently until Yun Qingshi fell asleep.
After noticing that the young man's breathing was steady, Prince Xiao opened his eyes again and turned his head to look to his side. Seeing that the young man had indeed fallen into a deep sleep, he helped Yun Qingshi tuck in the quilt, then stood up, put on his robe, and left Yian Hall.
Outside the courtyard, Ying Yi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw his master, he respectfully appeared before Xiao Jiwu and knelt on one knee to greet him: "Master."
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu did not say anything. He just gave Yingyi a look to signal him to follow.
Yingyi also understood and quickly stood up and followed.
After walking a distance away from the bedroom, Xiao Jiwu looked at Yingyi again and spoke: "Tell me everything he did today, no matter how big or small."
Yingyi quickly knelt down and responded, "Yes."
"Master, I have been guarding outside the inn since last night until today. Around... 9:30, I saw Ying Shiyi emerge from the inn."
"After leaving the inn, Ying Shiyi first went to a clothing store, bought new clothes, and had his hair tied up. On the way, he casually gave his old clothes to a poor citizen and bought two steamed buns to eat. Afterwards, he rode to a dyeing factory. Because he didn't dare to get too close, I don't know what Ying Shiyi said to the owner of the dyeing factory, but... just..."
He couldn't bring himself to speak out about such acts of disobedience to his master. He really didn't know where Ying Shiyi got the courage to do such a thing.
But he could only speak the truth. He said, "It's just that my subordinates saw Ying Shiyi coming out of the dyeing workshop with two large bags in his hands. They must be fox furs. He must not have gone to the Far North Snowfields, but dyed ordinary fox fur to pass it off as black fox fur."
At this point, as if worried about Xiao Jiwu's blame, Ying Yi hurriedly helped explain: "Eleven is probably still young and childish. He wanted to go out and play outside. He didn't mean to disobey the master. I hope the master will forgive him this time. He will definitely never dare to do it again."
Yingyi felt that he had never been so embarrassed before. Although he didn't understand Yingshiyi's purpose, as a brother, he couldn't help but speak up.
It was just that he felt really guilty about what he said, but he couldn't think of a better explanation...
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu was also a little helpless and couldn't help but press his eyebrows with a headache.
In order to cover up for Ying Shiyi, the usually taciturn Ying Yi actually said such words.
However, he had already anticipated the dyeing of the fox fur, and Xiao Jiwu had no intention of pursuing anything, otherwise he would not have allowed the young man to sleep soundly on his couch at this moment.
Xiao Jiwu gestured silently: "Go on, where did he go afterwards?"
Seeing that Xiao Jiwu didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter, Ying Yi felt relieved. He then continued to report, "Later, Ying Shiyi rode back to the Imperial City and had lunch at Baoyuan Tower. After lunch, I followed him and saw Ying Shiyi go to Wugui Cliff."
This was something Xiao Jiwu had not anticipated at all. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Wugui Cliff? What was he doing there?"
Why would you suddenly want to go to the cliff in the suburbs?
Hearing his master's question, Yingyi's eyelids jumped, but he could only answer: "He didn't do anything, he just sat on a rock for a long time."
Ying Yi then lowered his head and added, "I suspect Ying Shiyi went to... enjoy the scenery. He might be longing for the beautiful scenery of the four seasons outside."
As a brother, he has done his best.
As a subordinate, he was not lying. What he said was just a guess. It depends on whether his master will believe it.
Xiao Jiwu became more confused after hearing this.
Enjoy the scenery?
Does Ying Shiyi have the leisure time to do this?
If you want to enjoy the scenery, why don't you tell him directly?
Xiao Jiwu always felt that there were still some doubts in this matter, but he really couldn't think of what other purpose Ying Shiyi had in going to the cliff.
He had no choice but to suppress his doubts for the time being and gestured to Yingyi again: "Continue."
"Yes." Ying Yi quickly responded, "After leaving Wugui Cliff, Ying Shiyi..."
At this time in the bedroom, Yun Qingshi was sleeping soundly with his quilt in his arms, a rare occurrence.
Perhaps he was used to sleeping on the bed in the palace, so he was a little picky about his bed after leaving. Now that he had returned, he could finally sleep well.
As for the fact that his past had been exposed, he seemed completely unaware...
————
The next day, Yun Qingshi woke up very late as well. As if to make up for the sleep he had missed on the journey, he lay in bed until almost 9:00 a.m. before getting up.
After washing up again, Yun Qingshi habitually planned to find a book to read and wait for Xiao Jiwu to come back for breakfast.
But when he opened the cabinet and took out the bag he had placed on the top shelf, he noticed something was wrong.
His bag looked like it had been turned over by someone.
Yun Qingshi quickly counted the items with doubts, and when he found that nothing was missing, he didn't worry about it anymore.
Maybe the maids moved it when they were cleaning up.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi then skillfully went to the light couch to read the storybook.
About a moment later, Xiao Jiwu came back, and Yun Qingshi put down the storybook and prepared to have breakfast.
The breakfast was also a rare moment of warmth and affection. Xiao Jiwu frequently picked up food for Yun Qingshi, and his attitude was very gentle.
But seeing the other person like this, Yun Qingshi felt inexplicably uneasy.
After breakfast, Xiao Jiwu quickly ordered someone to clear the table.
The maids quickly cleaned up everything, and Zhao Mingde then led everyone back out, closing the palace door.
Looking at the tightly closed palace door, Yun Qingshi had a bad feeling.
Something is wrong, absolutely wrong!
It's broad daylight and it's not cold at the moment. What's the point of closing the door?
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi walked quickly to the door with some trepidation and wanted to open it again.
He always felt it was safer to leave the door open...
But just as Yun Qingshi's hand touched the palace door, before he could exert any force, Prince Xiao's voice sounded behind him.
Xiao Jiwu asked, "Did Eleven have a good rest?"
Yun Qingshi's movements froze, his eyelids twitched, and after a moment's thought, he shook his head cautiously: "No, I still feel very tired. I probably need to rest for a few more days."
He always felt that if he said he was not tired, Xiao Jiwu would take him to do some very tiring project.
People are always like this. Even if they know that they have to face everything eventually, they always like to escape and procrastinate.
The same is true when the clouds are clear.
After saying this, Yun Qingshi wanted to open the door of the palace, but as soon as he moved, his wrist was grabbed by a big hand.
Then Prince Xiao's lazy voice came to my ears again.
"Now that you've rested, it's time to fulfill your promise, Eleven."
