"Your Highness," Black Owl grinned, revealing a set of dazzlingly white teeth and two deep dimples on his cheeks. He leaped in through the window without making a sound; his familiar and swift movements clearly indicated he was no stranger to such window-climbing and wall-scaling. "Your Highness, what's going on here?"
When Ji Fengyao saw it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly ran her hand over Wei Shu's body and said, "I'll explain the details to you later. First, take him out and let him get some fresh air in the vent. He should wake up soon."
Black Owl's probing gaze shifted from Ji Fengyao's hands to her face. Seeing her looking at him with trust, he immediately nodded. He grabbed Wei Shu's hand, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and went out the back window.
Ji Fengyao turned around, reached out and grabbed the large red robe draped over the screen, put it on, and began to adjust and fasten the sash.
As Black Owl turned to close the window, he saw her slender, graceful figure and his eyes flickered slightly.
Xi Ningshang choked on the magpie, and the others didn't want to step forward and risk getting into trouble.
It was the usually timid Yu Ying who spoke up hesitantly: "Miss, we are only doing this for the sake of the Princess, we didn't come here to cause trouble on purpose. It was Sister Ningchang and her maid Yingzhu who said that a drunken soldier was shouting that he was looking for the Princess, and we were afraid that something had happened to her, so we came. As long as we see that the Princess is safe and sound, we will be at ease."
"You bastard! We're new here, how would we know any men or soldiers? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Xi Que roared in anger.
Her being a bandit and carefree doesn't mean she's ignorant of the proper boundaries between men and women.
Yu Ying seemed quite frightened by the magpie, shrinking most of her body behind Xi Ningshang, but still timidly said, "I'm not lying, it was Sister Xi's maid who saw it with her own eyes. Perhaps, perhaps we should ask the Princess Consort, just in case that villain has already entered the room, and the Princess Consort is alone..."
Xi Que stared at Yu Ying, who was putting on such a convincing act, and felt a surge of anger.
This woman looks timid and cowardly, but she has such a vicious mouth!
If we were to hit her now, we would certainly vent our anger, but if we insisted on blocking everyone from going in to take a look, the mud she had thrown on the young lady would be impossible to wash away!
At this moment, the tightly closed door to Ji Fengyao's bedroom was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Ji Fengyao wore a bright red wedding dress, her long, wet hair cascading down her shoulders, still dripping water. Her clean face had delicate features, porcelain-white skin, and a blush from her recent bath, making her look exquisitely beautiful and captivating.
The women and young ladies in the courtyard were immediately moved to tears.
Are bandits these days selected based on their looks? How could she grow up to be such a scourge to the country?
"Whoever spewed such filth as saying a man came to my room, get out here!"
Ji Fengyao was furious. If Hei Xiao hadn't appeared in time, she would have really fallen for the tricks of these filthy women. If she didn't get her revenge, she wouldn't be Yun Yao, who once dominated the Danling Continent with her master!
This furious roar startled all the women in the courtyard, who involuntarily took a step back, increasing the distance between themselves and Xi Ningshang and Yu Ying.
Yu Ying shrank behind Xi Ningshang, clutching Xi Ningshang's sleeves with both hands, only revealing half of her head.
Xi Ningchang wanted to retreat, but Yu Ying behind her blocked her way.
This disgusting, cowardly fellow is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
Xi Ningchang kicked Yu Ying away from behind in anger, then forced a smile and stepped forward: "This humble servant Xi Ningchang greets Your Highness, Your Highness..."
