Chapter 158 Drunk
Xie Zhaozhao saw off his brother, but did not go back upstairs. Instead, he stopped by the inkstone washing pool and looked at the clear water inside with a complicated expression.

After leaving, it will take at least a year or two to come back.

We couldn't see each other for a year or two.

But thinking of Yun Qi's indiscriminate look, Xie Zhaozhao's face darkened again.

Since he is going to be unreasonable, why should I worry about him!
She rolled up her sleeves and went upstairs, instructing Xianggui to bring a few notebooks of unfinished stories for easy reading on the way.

She sorted out other miscellaneous books she wanted to read, and went to bed just after midnight.

However, tossing and turning, it was always difficult to fall asleep.

I finally fell asleep, and suddenly I heard someone whispering in my ear.

"Thank you, sister...thank you, sister..."

"Zhao Zhao...Zhao Zhao."

The sound was high and low.

Sometimes there is a bright smile, sometimes there is a low sigh, and sometimes there is a sour miss.

The last picture in his mind was fixed on his passionate and tangled eyes.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly turned over and sat up, frowning.

She opened the bed curtain and saw wax tears on the candlestick beside the bed.

"Miss?"

The voice of the night watchwoman came from outside.

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "What time is it?"

"It's just past midnight if I want to reply to you, miss."

"Oh." Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "You don't have to guard, go back to your room and rest."

"But--"

"Let's go back."

Xie Zhaozhao's voice was calm, but there was no room for rejection.

The grandma didn't say anything more, but the footsteps got farther and farther along the stairs.

Xie Zhaozhao sat on the bed, lowered his eyes and thought wildly for a while, then suddenly got up and got out of bed, took an indigo dress from the cabinet that he usually wore for martial arts training, put back his hair, and jumped out of the window.

……

There was silence in Prince Dingxi's palace.

Xie Zhaozhao entered over the wall, avoiding the patrolling guards all the way, and approached Han Yuexuan.

She knew that he usually rested in Han Yuexuan.

However, Han Yuexuan was heavily guarded, and Xie Zhaozhao had no way of entering without the guards noticing.

After a moment of hesitation, Xie Zhaozhao left the vicinity of Han Yuexuan, sneaked into the servant's room, grabbed a little maid who came out for convenience, and asked: "Where does Grandma Li live?"

The little maid was so frightened that she lost control and screamed.

Fortunately, Xie Zhaozhao reacted quickly enough and tapped the person's mute point in advance.

Xie Zhaozhao whispered: "You only need to answer my words, I will not hurt you, do you understand?"

The little maid blinked hard.

Xie Zhaozhao then unblocked her acupuncture points: "Where does Grandma Li live?"

"Here, in Lilac Garden east of Han Yuexuan, what are you looking for Nanny Li for-"

Xie Zhaozhao tapped her mute point again, "Go back to sleep. You will be able to speak tomorrow morning."

The maid nodded fiercely.

Xie Zhaozhao turned around and took two steps, then threatened darkly: "Don't call anyone, or I will kill you immediately!"

The little maid swallowed her saliva with a pale face. She was so frightened that she didn't remember to call someone.
Xie Zhaozhao achieved his goal, so he went all the way to Dingxiang Garden and found Nanny Li.

At this moment, Nanny Li had just fallen asleep when someone sitting next to the bed pushed her awake, which really surprised Nanny Li.

Candles were lit inside the house.

"You——" Nanny Li said in surprise: "Miss Qi, it's so late, why are you——"

"I'm sorry." Xie Zhaozhao said, "I have something to talk to His Highness, but the guards at Han Yuexuan are very tight, so I'm afraid that I might accidentally break in and cause a misunderstanding, so I can only come to disturb Nanny Li."

"So that's how it is..."

Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down before saying, "Your Highness will not be in the palace tonight."

"what?"

Xie Zhaozhao was surprised: "Where did you go? East Palace?"

"No."

"Does that mean you didn't leave the palace and stayed in the palace?"

"No, he and Mr. Lu went out."

"Lu Hanqiu." Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly, "So if I want to find him, I have to find Lu Hanqiu first."

"Yes." Nanny Li said, "I don't know where he is right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to find him for a while. It's better to do this. If anything happens to Miss, please tell me first."

"When His Highness comes back, I will tell him."

"No need."

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you from my rest. Please go on to sleep. I'll leave first."

"Miss--"

Aunt Li stood up to ask more questions, but Xie Zhaozhao quickly disappeared into the night.

……

Xie Zhaozhao left Dingxi Prince's Mansion and walked in the dark alley. He originally wanted to go directly back to Liang Guogong's Mansion.

However, after taking two steps, he stopped.

After a while, she went straight to Lu Hanqiu's mansion.

Lu Hanqiu's residence is across two streets from Dingxi Prince's Mansion. During the day, people usually pass by, so it feels a little far away.

Now late at night, there is no one on the street, and Xie Zhaozhao is using Qinggong again.

In a moment, he crossed the wall and entered the Lu Mansion.

The guards in Lu Mansion are obviously much looser than those in Dingxi Prince Mansion.

Xie Zhaozhao walked for a while and entered the garden, and heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra not far away.

It seems that Lu Hanqiu is at home.

Yun Qi and him... are still together?
Xie Zhaozhao slowly approached the place where the sound came from.

After a while, she stopped outside a courtyard called Feng Ya Pavilion.

The music inside was rising and falling, and there was Lu Hanqiu's laughter.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced around the yard, thinking about the possibility, but suddenly fixed his eyes on one person.

The man was tall and straight, dressed in black. He was the general Xuan Ming beside Yun Qi.

Xie Zhaozhao immediately picked a leaf and flew towards Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming heard the sound of breaking wind. He squeezed the leaf with his backhand and raised his eyes towards where the leaf came from. He also found Xie Zhaozhao.

Xuan Ming was stunned: "Seven——"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately shut up and stepped forward quickly.

Xie Zhaozhao jumped down from the tree, "General Xuanming, where are the others, Your Highness?"

"Uh..." Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then stopped talking, "Your Highness, he..."

"It's inside, right?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "You call him out!"

"it is good!"

Xuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief. If the lady saw the look of the goblin cave inside and didn't know what to think, it would be better to ask His Highness to come out.

As he walked, he ordered his men to guard Xie Zhaozhao and not let anyone mistake him for an assassin.

Xie Zhaozhao stared at Feng Yage.

After she recovered her martial arts skills, she also worked diligently on cultivating her internal strength and her eyesight was excellent.

The moment Xuan Ming opened the door, she saw the gauze dancing in the room, the voluptuous women spinning in circles, Lu Hanqiu hugging him from left to right, Yun Qi's face turned red, and there were two women sitting next to him.

The woman is delicate and beautiful, with a charming smile, and is trying to persuade Yun Qi to drink.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and gritted his teeth.

For just a moment, she snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"Miss Seven?"

The two men were stunned, not daring to stop them, so they could only rush to report to Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming walked in and immediately went to Yun Qi's side: "Your Highness, Miss Seven is here."

Yun Qi closed his eyes slightly: "Nonsense! This is the Lu Mansion, how could she come?"

"It's really here." Xuan Ming lowered his voice: "Waiting outside."

Yun Qi was startled and opened his eyes.

At this moment, a subordinate walked in quickly and said, "Miss Seventh is gone."

"Didn't I tell you to guard her?" Xuan Ming asked anxiously, "Why did she just leave?"

"My subordinates don't know either...she looked at the general opening the door, then suddenly turned around and left. She didn't say anything, just, just..." The subordinate whispered: "She just laughed weirdly."

Yun Qi stood up suddenly, half awake from the wine.
