After being reborn as a double, she is soft and charming

Chapter 11 "Are You Scared?"

Bai Qi leaned back and was about to strike back when he saw that Mo Senhan suddenly stop in front of him.

The girl seemed to hold back her strength just in time.

Xi Yan opened the corner of her mouth.

The crisp smile, accompanied by the fragrance of the breath, lingered, coerced, and swallowed the man's defense just now.

"Xi Yan, you are looking for death!" There was a haze between Bai Qi's brows.

Xiyan didn't pay any attention, just bent over with a smile to herself, no matter how Bai Qi tried to fish, she could avoid it skillfully.

Finally, she was tired from laughing, so she leaned on the stone bench, tilted her head like a raccoon slave, and said in a voice like a cloud, "Aqi, are you scared?"

"Not afraid." Bai Qi snorted coldly.

"You're scared," the little girl frowned and nodded firmly, "Your face has changed..."

"I'm afraid that I killed you by mistake," Bai Qi's eyes were full of killing, "Your attack, the victory lies in surprise. I have already expected it, so why be afraid?"

Seeing the person in front of him nodding his head indifferently and playing with the weapon in his hand, he lightly flicked his sleeves, "I'm busy with business this month, and I may leave Yecheng, be smart, I have ordered that no one else be allowed to approach Xiyan Pavilion."

Xi Yan suddenly raised her eyelids, her crow's eyelashes twitched, instantly softening the man's iron muscles.

"January? So long..."

Bai Qi turned his head, looked away deliberately, and comforted him lightly, "Come back and bring you a gift."

"Well," Xiyan nodded, hummed a soft single note from her breath, and continued, "Then I will practice calligraphy at home, waiting for you."

home...

The unintentional teasing made Bai Qi purse his lips unconsciously, and the coldness in his eyes slowly melted into that faint smile.

The black robe disappeared from the courtyard gate, and Xiyan got up slowly.

She raised her hand, stared at the bracelet on her wrist, and slowly raised the corners of her lips.

In January, there is plenty of time.

After a few days, after making sure that Bai Qi really left, Xiyan changed into her servant's clothes and quietly left the Xiyan Pavilion after nightfall.

Relying on the memory of her previous life, she avoided the patrol and walked to Bai Qi's study with ease.

The study room was half-lit and half-dark under the shroud of the bright moon, quiet and silent.

Xiyan was dressed in a maidservant's attire, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Miss Xiyan ordered me to fetch the inkstone."

The guard frowned, "Miss Xiyan? The prince didn't explain..."

"Young lady's literacy was granted by the son himself. The Duan inkstone was broken just now. Miss urgently needs it."

Bai Qi only uses Duan inkstones, and there are countless Duan inkstones in the study. The women in the Shizi's mansion don't know it, but the men know it.

Even Duanyan knew it, so it seems that there should be nothing wrong...

Seeing the maid's respectful attitude and calm voice, the guard looked at each other before nodding.

Xi Yan successfully entered the study.

The inkstone at the corner of the table was very conspicuous, just like last time, she picked up the inkstone and stuck out her palm.

The inkstone is extremely smooth.

Her heart sank!
Bai Qi changed the secret mechanism?
No wonder the guard let her in so easily!

She walked around in a circle, and beads of sweat slowly ooze from her forehead.

The decoration is minimalist, with a clear view, and the map of the secret passage, isn't it in the study?If not in the study, where would it be?
She was thinking about it when she heard a cold shout from outside the room, "Are you alright?"

"Well, it's done." Xi Yan responded, holding the inkstone, and quickly walked out of the study.

The guards didn't care too much, they just talked in a low voice, "I need to cheer up these two days, I heard that Bai Yu has gone crazy, and this Shizifu is stealing one crop after another..."

Xiyan didn't linger in her footsteps, she just walked slowly, and she didn't leave until she heard the conversation between the two of them.

It seems that Zhu Jin succeeded.

Bai Yu is Bai Qi's uncle, however, fighting for power is not uncommon among powerful royal families.

But since Bai Qi was young, he had made outstanding military exploits, and Bai Yu was incompetent, so he focused on assassination.

Since she came to Shizi Mansion, Bai Yu's assassination of Bai Qi has already begun, and now he is colluding with Nanliang. Bai Qi has been planning for so long just to eradicate his minions.

Only when Zhu Jin succeeds, Bai Yu will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan frowned, no, since Zhu Jin has already succeeded, what is Bai Yu secretly stealing when he comes to the Shizi's Mansion?

He colluded with Nanliang. If he fell, he would go to Nanliang to avoid disaster. If he wants Nanliang to protect him, he must have something that can be exchanged. This thing...

Could it be the secret passage map?
Xiyan was startled, only to hear the sound of footsteps near the waterside pavilion, she looked at the frozen lake, her heart sank, she stepped on the ice and dodged to hide under the corridor.

The girl who has just reached the age of Ji has a slender body, and the huge ice surface can just support her petite body.

Fine dust drifted into her nose from the top of her head, Xi Yan raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, holding her breath and concentrating.

"how?"

"It's already the third wave. They didn't succeed. People were captured before they could get close to the rockery!"

"Destroyed in the trial dungeon."

"No, I've already committed suicide by taking poison."

The sound gradually faded away with the sound of footsteps, Xiyan raised her eyebrows, a rockery?

The rockery of the Shizi Mansion is located in the Butterfly Garden, where flowers are blooming all year round, and now it is the season of wintersweet blooming.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiyan crawled up the corridor with her body bent, rubbed her frozen five fingers, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and walked slowly towards Zhu Jinge.

Candlelight was burning in the room, Xi Yan straightened her back, and quietly knocked on the courtyard door.

"Sister Jin, are you asleep? I'm Xiyan."

On the other side of the door, there seemed to be the sound of trotting from far to near, and the door was suddenly pulled open. The bruise on Zhu Jin's neck was particularly glaring under the moonlight.

"Ayan, you are here..."

Zhu Jin had just finished taking a bath, and the tails of her hair were hanging down on her clothes, leaving a spot of water stains. She stretched out her arms and let them hang down again.

The tip of Xi Yan's nose was sour, and she hurriedly reached out to hug her shoulders.

Zhu Jin wanted to struggle, and murmured, "Don't...I'm not clean..."

"Sister Jin, you smell so good, Ayan likes the smell of you..." As she spoke, she rubbed Zhu Jin's forehead like a raccoon slave, and the crow hair brushed the woman's cheeks with an itchy touch.

Zhu Jin finally relaxed a little. She took the girl's icy fingertips, put them to her lips and breathed, "Why is it so cold? Come into the room with me to warm up."

Xi Yan followed behind Zhu Jin and looked around, but there was no one there.

"Have all the maids fallen asleep? Why is there not a single night watchman?"

Zhu Jin twitched the corners of her lips, "They were not allowed to keep watch at night, and if they were more serious, the assassins would not be able to help them, and they might even lose their lives."

Speaking of this, she frowned puzzledly and said, "Ayan, it's so late, do you have something urgent to come to me?"

"I'm afraid of the cold, so I want to sleep with you. Anyway, Ah Qi is not at the house." Xiyan stretched out her arms to hug the person in front of her, and then raised her voice, "No, let's go to the butterfly garden tomorrow to pick some wintersweet and arrange it. How about the room?"

"Okay!" Zhu Jin finally showed her face, "It's been a long time since I've been like this with Ayan..."

Having said that, she realized that the man in her arms was no longer her former best friend.

Slowly, Zhu Jin's eyes turned red, and a tear fell into the bun of the person in her arms.

"Ayan, you offended Fu Que, and I'm afraid there will be no more peace in the future. That woman, you will get revenge. You are in favor now, and she can't do it. If you are rejected by the prince in the future..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jin sighed, "You are still young, and some things are not what you see. The son is cold by nature, and there will never be love in his heart..."
