Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 930: Why did Third Brother come out of your room?

Ning Xiuyuan smiled and scratched her palm, "Then... in the future, can you play the piano occasionally for me? Then play... today's song?" The sound of this piano piece was ups and downs, but for some reason, I felt calm after listening to it, as if all the depression in my heart was washed away.

If you can listen to it often, it will be like taking a few more heart-clearing pills, which will be good.

Ji Wuyan smiled and stopped before explaining, "It's not bad to listen to a song like this occasionally. But if you listen to it too much, it's inevitable that your mind will be distracted, and it will not be worth it." After saying that, he turned his head as if unintentionally to look at the Fifth Elder, and when he saw that the other party's body was obviously stiff, he curled the corners of his mouth and walked down the stairs.

Under the tower, all the guards disappeared.

The cold winter wind was blowing, and it was a moonlit night with few stars. Ning Xiuyuan looked at Ji Wuyan, who was lying on her back with her eyes closed and sighing softly. He lowered his head and took her hand, stroking each other's fingertips one by one, and asked softly, "Is that song for Lin Yi?" Tianxin had been in the dark for a long time, and today's debut was truly amazing.

But the truth behind the surprise is bound to make people sigh and feel helpless.

Ji Wuyan then opened his eyes, looked at the stars in the night sky, and nodded, "Since Lin Yi has issued a declaration of war, he will definitely come over in the next two days. He is a martial arts master, and even if ordinary servants and guards go up, it will be like an egg hitting a rock, and there is no need to increase casualties. With the blessing of Tianxin's music, Lin Yi's fighting power has been greatly reduced... I can settle the matter between him and me."

Ning Xiuyuan understood immediately. He thought Ji Wuyan had persuaded the old lady to go to the Shen family to help. Now he thought that he probably wanted to get rid of the old lady to ensure her safety. This little girl... Ning Xiuyuan put her hand with red fingertips into his palm and wrapped it, and led her back. "If you don't sleep now, it will be dawn. No one can guarantee when Lin Yi will come. You can't hold on for two days without rest. I'll watch over you, you can rest assured and sleep for a while."

"Your Majesty, don't you need to go there?"

Ning Xiuyuan smiled nonchalantly, "No. After what happened, I'm afraid he will be uneasy if I stay by His Majesty's side. It's a good time to take a leave... He used to be suspicious of this and that, but now that several princes are under house arrest, I think he feels relieved in this regard."

Ji Wuyan also laughed, thinking that what he said made a lot of sense. As for the poison in the emperor's body, although he knew its source, he was really helpless to do anything about it. In a sense, this was a kind of "peace of mind".

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyan put his fist to his chin, smiled softly, tilted his head to look at Ning Xiuyuan, and smiled slyly, "Third brother, if you are free tomorrow morning, can you help me go to the posthouse?"

The way she smiled was like a fox that had stolen some meat. In the shadow of the moonlight, it seemed as if her huge furry tail was fluttering in the wind. Her dark eyes were filled with twinkling stars, which were even more beautiful than the sky above her head.

After the incident with Xu Si Niang, Ning Xiuyuan hadn't seen such a look in the other person's eyes for a long time. Just seeing such a look made him feel soft in his heart. He nodded and smiled, and asked, "Okay, I'll go there in person tomorrow. Who do you want me to meet, or what do you want me to say?"

"Please bring a prescription to Chen Yinuo... Well, make it louder and make sure that all the old guys in the Chen family know that I sent a prescription to Chen Yinuo."

The little girl stood with her arms crossed, her chin supported by her fingertips, and smiled maliciously, wishing that the word "calculation" was written from head to toe. Ning Xiuyuan naturally doted on her unconditionally, raised his hand to touch the top of her head, smiled and nodded, "Okay... Master Ji, rest assured, I will definitely get things done for you! But now you should go and rest."

He acted humble and submissive, which Ji Wuyan found interesting. He slightly raised his chin and raised his elbow, "Ning boy, help me go into the house and rest."

Ning Xiuyuan bent his back, held Ji Wuyan's elbows with both hands and followed her up the stairs. Zi Qiu was suddenly awakened by the sound of voices in the yard, and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out. Seeing the two of them like this, he was stunned for a moment, and retreated with a bent brow - the girl and the third master really reconciled, how good.

When the Third Master came to look for the girl, she was still awake and was carefully guarding the side hall, so she heard clearly what the girl said when she lost control of her emotions, and she also knew what the Third Master did. But in fact, in private, Zi Qiu didn't think that the Third Master did anything wrong. This was the last amulet that Old Chen gave to the girl when she entered the city, and it should not be used easily.

If it were her, I'm afraid she wouldn't use it.

But she kept these words in her heart and couldn't persuade the girl to say them out. The girl blamed herself and felt depressed for a few days, and Zi Qiu felt uncomfortable too. Now that he saw the two of them reconciled, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and went down with a smile on his face, squinting his eyes.

……

Even though she took a nap in the side hall of the imperial palace during the day, Ji Wuyan quickly fell asleep to the sound of Ning Xiuyuan turning pages of the book.

When I woke up, it was already bright. There were murmurs of voices in the corridor, and it sounded like Ji Feng was practicing calligraphy. This child can't be quiet. When he writes, he likes to chatter like a little monk chanting. The faint sunlight fell into the house. Ning Xiuyuan had already left. A thin blanket was folded neatly and placed aside. On it was a notebook, the same one he had in his hand last night.

That person actually stayed in this room last night?
Ji Wuyan sat at the head of the bed, his eyes fixed on the empty corner, and he felt his ears turning red.

I don't know when it started, but there were gradually more traces of that person in my room, as small as a dropped jade pendant, a folding fan, a book, or the cloak she put back on. In this not-so-small room, because of the more traces of that person, there was always a sense of ambiguity for no reason.

She patted her cheeks gently, as if to brush away her shyness at the moment, and took a deep breath for a while before calling out, "Zi Qiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and a little cat jumped in, with ink on its cheeks and a bright smile as always. He ran to Ji Wuyan's bed and climbed up with his hands and feet. A small inky fingerprint instantly appeared on the corner of the quilt. He didn't notice it himself, and only called out, "Miss, wake up! Miss, you are getting more and more lazy. It's almost noon. If Third Brother hadn't told the kitchen to prepare breakfast later before leaving, I'm afraid Miss wouldn't be able to eat the delicious hot custard buns!"

After that, without waiting for Ji Wuyan to speak, he continued to ask, "Miss, why did Third Brother come out of your room this morning?"

He asked innocently, but when Ji Wuyan met Zi Qiu's eyes, she was suddenly startled and her face flushed...
