Chapter 98 Hug
Jiang Zhaoyue slept peacefully.
The figure stared at her, then tiptoed up to her.
With a creaky sound, the bedroom door was pushed open.
The figure hid instantly.
Xiangqiao walked in, rubbing her eyes, and called softly, "Second Madam."
Jiang Zhaoyue fell into a deep sleep.
"Hey, why is the window open?" Xiangqiao walked towards the window in surprise.
A figure walked out silently and slashed at the back of Xiangqiao's neck with a knife.
Before Xiangqiao could reach the window, she fell to the ground with a thud.
The figure turned around and walked to the bed, slashing at Jiang Zhaoyue with another knife.
A cold light suddenly flew in from the window and pierced the figure's chest heavily.
The figure instinctively let out a "hmm" sound and slowly lowered his head. When he saw the dagger stuck in his chest, blood began to flow from his mouth. He turned his head in disbelief, inch by inch, to look out the window.
A tall dark figure was already standing in front of the window.
"You..." The figure fell to the ground before he could finish his words, and he stopped breathing.
The black shadow strode to the bedside and put his hand on Jiang Zhaoyue's shoulder.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly sat up and stabbed the black shadow with the dagger in his hand.
The shadow instantly grabbed her wrist and called out, "Zhaoyue!"
Jiang Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then took in the handsome face in front of him and asked, "Second Master?"
"It's me, Jingzhou." Pei Jingzhou was wearing a neat nightgown, which brought the coolness of the night, but his voice was gentle.
"Second Master!" Jiang Zhaoyue immediately dropped the dagger in his hand, rushed forward, and hugged his neck tightly with his arms.
Pei Jingzhou put his arm around her slender waist and smelled the familiar warm fragrance on her body. The worries he had felt in the past few days were slightly relieved. He asked, "Are you pretending to sleep?"
Jiang Zhaoyue replied: "Yeah."
"rare."
"What's so difficult?"
"It's rare to see you awake at night."
Jiang Zhaoyue pushed Pei Jingzhou away, glared at him and asked, "You said I slept like a pig?"
Pei Jingzhou chuckled: "That's not what I meant."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean?"
Pei Jingzhou explained: "You usually sleep early and sleep soundly, so it's impossible to wake you up."
Jiang Zhaoyue confessed, "I've been so scared these past few days that I haven't been able to sleep well."
Pei Jingzhou's smile suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Zhaoyue complained: "It's all your fault. You haven't come back these few days."
"Well, it's my fault." Pei Jingzhou admitted his mistake quickly and sincerely.
Jiang Zhaoyue also knew that he and Pei Maokun were busy with the Zhenguogong Mansion, so he naturally didn't blame him. Instead, he asked, "Why did you come back at this time?"
"I'm worried about you." Pei Jingzhou said frankly.
Jiang Zhaoyue was happy to hear this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Then he thought of the situation he needed to face, frowned again and asked: "Is everything done?"
"not yet."
"What should we do then?"
"I'll go back after I've made arrangements for you." Pei Jingzhou has been very busy these days. He took some time to ask Qin You to pass a message to Jiang Zhaoyue, asking him not to let the master of the Zhenguo Mansion leave the mansion in the next few days.
Jiang Zhaoyue did it and politely rejected the Third Prince's wife.
But he had already revealed his concern for Jiang Zhaoyue at the eldest princess' birthday banquet last time. He was worried that the Third Prince's wife and others would let Wang, Zhang Siyin and others go, but would not let Jiang Zhaoyue go easily.
He took the risk and secretly returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He saw a figure sneaking into Linhua Courtyard, entering his bedroom, knocking Xiang Qiao unconscious, and trying to capture Jiang Zhaoyue.
He was glad that he came back, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
But he can't stay here for long.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou answered truthfully: "The Imperial Palace."
"I'll go with you." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Pei Jingzhou thought.
Jiang Zhaoyue followed up with, "Will it get in the way? If it does, then forget it."
Pei Jingzhou looked at her with his dark eyes: "It's okay."
"real?"
The guards at the Zhenguo Mansion were limited. After Jiang Zhaoyue was taken away, the remaining guards only had to protect Wang and the others for the next two days. Pei Jingzhou said, "Really."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Are we leaving now?"
Pei Jingzhou asked back: "Are you sleepy?"
Jiang Zhaoyue shook her head: "Not sleepy for now."
"Then go get dressed."
"What kind of clothes are you wearing?" Jiang Zhaoyue took a look at Pei Jingzhou's nightgown.
"You can wear anything."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue changed into dark clothes.
Pei Jingzhou took her hand and climbed out the window.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Aren't we going through the main entrance?"
"Don't alert the enemy."
"oh oh."
"Pei Jing." Pei Jingzhou shouted.
Pei Jing jumped down from the tree.
"Wake up Xiangqiao and ask her, Baoxia and others to go to Qilinyuan first to take care of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Then tell the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess that I have taken the Second Madam away and ask them to arrange guards to protect the people in the mansion." Pei Jingzhou instructed.
"Tell the Crown Prince's wife that if anything happens, don't tell mother." Jiang Zhaoyue added.
Pei Jingzhou glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue, said nothing, and nodded to Pei Jing.
"Yes." Pei Jingying.
Pei Jingzhou said: "After that, find a way to enter the palace yourself."
"Yes." Pei Jing saluted and left quickly.
"Let's go." Pei Jingzhou said to Jiang Zhaoyue.
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue took Pei Jingzhou's hand naturally.
Pei Jingzhou took a look, took her to a corner of the Zhenguo Mansion, held her hand, and jumped over the high wall of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Jiang Zhaoyue exclaimed: "Second Master, your Kung Fu is so powerful."
"Not bad." Pei Jingzhou took her hand again and walked forward.
"Are we going into the palace like this?"
"Um."
"Just the two of us?"
"What's wrong?"
"Although it's pitch black all around, it would be very easy for the Second Prince to deal with us if you and a delicate girl like me are traveling alone." Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes were full of vigilance.
Pei Jingzhou smiled and said, "There are secret guards."
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "You still have secret guards?"
Pei Jingzhou replied: "A lot."
Jiang Zhaoyue casually said, "Why didn't you give me some of the money from the last spring outing?"
"There was no danger around you at that time, and the bridge collapse was an accident, so I didn't think of using the secret guards." Pei Jingzhou answered seriously.
Too.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care about this matter anymore. She followed Pei Jingzhou through twists and turns and came to a carriage.
"Your Highness." A burly coachman saluted Pei Jingzhou.
Your Highness?
What Your Highness?
When Jiang Zhaoyue was wondering, she heard Pei Jingzhou say, "Return to the palace."
"Yes." The driver replied.
Pei Jingzhou pulled Jiang Zhaoyue into the carriage.
The carriage started moving immediately.
Jiang Zhaoyue was just about to ask the driver's name when she heard Pei Jingzhou ask, "Are you sleepy?"
She suddenly forgot about the name.
"It will take a while to enter the palace. If you are sleepy, just lean on me and sleep. I will wake you up when we get there." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Are we going to the palace in this carriage?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yes."
"Can I come in?"
"Why not?"
"Will the Third Prince and the others do something bad?" Jiang Zhaoyue has been very vigilant from the beginning until now, fearing that bad people will appear.
Pei Jingzhou curled his lips lightly: "They are all my people, how could he do anything bad?"
"Your people?" Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Is something big going to happen?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and then asked, "Will the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion be alright?"
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."
"Second Master, you are awesome!" Jiang Zhaoyue immediately gave him a thumbs up.
Pei Jingzhou couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Zhaoyue hugged Pei Jingzhou's thin waist and raised her bright face: "However, Second Master, things have not been completely successful yet, we can't be proud."
"Yeah." Pei Jingzhou looked at her straightly: "But why did you hug me suddenly?"
"Second Master, you look really, really good in black. I just can't help but want to hug you. Why can't I hug you? Then I won't hug you." Jiang Zhaoyue pretended to let go of Pei Jingzhou's waist.
Pei Jingzhou grabbed her arm and wrapped it around his waist: "Hold me."
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "This is too disrespectful."
Pei Jingzhou could see that she did it on purpose.
Jiang Zhaoyue added: "It's a bit unrestrained."
Pei Jingzhou suppressed his laughter.
"You asked me to hold you, so I'll do it reluctantly." Jiang Zhaoyue put her little face against Pei Jingzhou's strong chest, raised her head slightly and asked, "Actually, Second Master, you really like being held by me, right?"
