Chapter 95: Water

After the hour of Xu, the inn became quiet. Except for the guards on duty, everyone else went back to their rooms to rest.

After Meng Ya and Xiao Fang cleaned up Xia Xue's room, they returned to the room on Xia Xue's left.

"Sister Yaya, why is the room we live in better than the young lady's?" Xiaofang was puzzled. The rooms in their guest house were divided up after the Prime Minister personally looked at them. There was no reason for them to be wrong.

"It's probably for safety. The room Miss lives in is like a servant's room. I've heard Miss say before that the border is not like the central city. It's very backward. Generally, the positioning of border towns is stability, not prosperity. Therefore, there are very few wealthy families here. Some small families that can afford servants usually have several masters to one maid. So the design of the guest house is like this, with master bedrooms on all sides and only the middle is the servant's room."

After Meng Ya finished explaining, she suddenly felt that she had become very knowledgeable after following the young lady.

Xiaofang seemed to understand but nodded in a serious manner.

"Then Sister Yaya, you take a rest first. I will keep watch tonight." Xiaofang said.

"It's okay, you go to sleep first. The conditions of this inn are not good and it's on the border, so I'd better guard it." After Meng Ya finished speaking, she yawned. Maybe she ate too much, she was actually a little sleepy.

After washing up, Xia Xue was no longer sleepy. This border town was full of weirdness. Although nothing unusual happened during the meal, she still felt very bad.

After waiting for a while, Chu Zhenxuan, who had been settled by Princess Qingping, came.

As soon as he entered the room, Chu Zhenxuan gave Xia Xue a hug, wishing he could rub her into his body.

"I missed you so much, ma'am."

Xia Xue curled her lips and was about to tease him when she suddenly smelled a fragrance, "Why do you smell like a fragrance?"

"How is that possible? There will only be your scent on my husband." Chu Zhenxuan whispered in Xia Xue's ear, his breath as sweet as orchid.

Xia Xue buried her head in his neck, her old face flushed.

"You are already an old married couple and see each other every day, yet you are still so indecent." Xia Xue nodded twice at his shoulders.

"How about this?" Chu Zhenxuan tightened his arms and hugged Xia Xue tighter.

Ever since Yang Junyi joined the team, he has been talking to Chu Zhenxuan every night, and let Chu Zhenxuan live next door to him, under the pretext of protecting him!

Yang Junyi's martial arts skills are not inferior to Chu Zhenxuan's, but he now has a female pig in his body and dares not use his energy. Chu Zhenxuan is afraid of being exposed and dares not arrange guards to protect him, so he has to do it himself.

So to outsiders, Yang Junyi is a pawn controlled by Chu Zhenxuan, but in fact, the pawn is the big boss.

As soon as he entered the town today, Yang Junyi said that he felt something was wrong. When assigning rooms, he specifically asked Chu Zhenxuan to accompany Xia Xue tonight. Chu Zhenxuan was grateful, after all, he was not feeling well tonight.

Xia Xue let him hug her for a long time before patting his back. "What should Fourth Master do if you come to my place?"

The emperor is the fourth child in the family. When he was a prince, everyone called him "Fourth Master" when he went on a private visit in disguise.

"His secret guards are here." Chu Zhenxuan pinched her waist with dissatisfaction. It was soft and a little fleshy.

Xia Xue twisted her body because it itched.

"Have you sneaked into the team?" Xia Xue asked again.

"They sneaked in a few days ago, but they were only put together today." Chu Zhenxuan replied.

Xia Xue suddenly remembered that there were several unfamiliar faces when she was setting up the stable just now.

"Do you think there will be enemies sneaking into our team? After all, we brought too many people this time, and it will be difficult to keep an eye on them all." Xia Xue worried.

"It is very likely that the Southern Country is good at disguise, poison, and witchcraft, so it is better to be cautious." Chu Zhenxuan also had a headache.

The two chatted for a while and then went to bed.

I don’t know how much time had passed, Xia Xue just fell asleep when she heard a loud noise outside.

Chu Zhenxuan was a martial artist and had woken up a long time ago, but he hadn't moved.

Xia Xue was sleepy, "What's going on outside?"

"There must be a fire in the inn where the guards are staying." Chu Zhenxuan said calmly.

"Fire? That means a fire?" Xia Xue jumped up. "You're still lying here when there's a fire?"

"There's no one in the inn, and no money. If the thieves really wanted to do something, they would only target us. If it was just an accidental fire, then we don't need to worry about it."

Xia Xue pouted, "Will it get us burned?"

"It depends on whether you want to burn us." Chu Zhenxuan stretched out his long arm and moved Xia Xue down to lie down. "Continue to sleep."

Xia Xue rolled her eyes. There was a raging fire outside, and the commander-in-chief was actually sleeping with his wife in his arms?

It seems a little funny, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

After a while, Xia Xue fell asleep again.

Chu Zhenxuan waited quietly and didn't hear anything unusual here, but it was indeed too quiet. It was impossible for Xia Xue's guards to still be asleep in such a situation.

Chu Zhenxuan narrowed his eyes. At this moment, a figure appeared at the door and seemed to be walking towards Xia Xue's door.

The figure swayed a little as he walked to the door, then turned sideways and headed towards Meng Ya's room.

After a while, the figure came out again, raised his hand, as if to knock on the door.

The door opened.

It was Xia Chun who looked unwell.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zhenxuan asked.

"Prince? I feel relieved when you are around."

"Do you think something is wrong, Jing'er?" Chu Zhenxuan asked.

"I've been feeling very sleepy since I moved in, and so have Xia Xia and Xia Qiu. Xia Dong is on guard tonight, and I don't know what's going on downstairs. I'm going to Meng Ya's place. Meng Ya is on guard tonight, but she's sleeping soundly." Xia Chun answered. "I don't think it's good, and I'm hesitant whether to wake the young lady up."

"She just fell asleep, don't call her yet. Go down and see how Xia Dong is doing. Be careful and be quiet." Chu Zhenxuan ordered.

This is still within Da'an. If someone is deliberately causing trouble, he would like to see what tricks the other party is trying to play.

After a while, Xia Chun came back and said that everything was normal at Xia Dong's place. There was a fire in the inn opposite. They went to check and found that there was no problem. The fire should have been basically put out. Now the deputy cavalry commander was counting the losses.

Chu Zhenxuan nodded.

"But Xia Dong said there was something strange." Xia Chun said again.

Chu Zhenxuan raised his eyebrows and waited for his next words.

"One of the guards who was on night watch with them said he was cold and drank some wine. After drinking, he said he smelled the scent of pear blossoms and orchids. Xia Dong thought he was drunk and sent him back to his room to rest. But the people who were guarding him said that this guard had a good alcohol tolerance and could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He was also very sensitive to smells."

Chu Zhenxuan tapped on the door with his fingers.

"I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I feel that there is a faint fragrance in my room and Meng Ya's room." Xia Chun scratched his head embarrassedly.

Chu Zhenxuan frowned, and suddenly remembered that when he just came in, Xia Xue also said that he had a fragrance?

Is there any connection?
