away from the heart

Chapter 56 The Truth Comes Out 1
Chuyue sent Xingchen away, thought for a long time, made two cups of tea and sent them to the door of Xue Yao's study.She was about to open the door to enter, but was stopped by the guards: "Madam, the general has ordered that he is discussing important matters with Mr. Bai, and no one should disturb him."

Chuyue had no choice but to stop: "Then I won't go in, I'll just go outside and look at the head office."

With the door closed in broad daylight, I don't know what to discuss furtively.Chuyue leaned out of the window and poked her head to look inside, but couldn't see anything.She wanted to pierce the paper on the window, but just as she stretched out her finger, seeing the guard turned to look at her with burning eyes, she had to withdraw her hand and smiled mischievously.

In the study, Xue Yao sat upright by the desk, and wrote a line with a pen: I kindly resign from the position of Marshal of the Army and Horses.

While writing, he asked Bai Liqi: "The Liuyun Feixue bought by my brother before his death, can you find out who it was given to?"

"Not yet. However, I went to Panxiang Pavilion to order Liuyun Feixue a few days ago. I heard from the shopkeeper that if it is a gift, all the goods they sell can be accompanied by a note with some words of blessing , sent out together with the goods. This memo is in duplicate, and there is also a draft. It’s just that Panxiang Pavilion is very strict, saying that the drafts are kept in the hands of their masters, and they refuse to show them to outsiders.”

"Master of Panxiang Pavilion?" Xue Yao thought for a moment, "When the day comes, I will personally go to Panxiang Pavilion to pick up the goods."

Bai Li nodded.The sound of breaking things came from outside the door, Xue Yao got up and walked to the door, when the door opened, Chuyue stood there, with broken porcelain pieces from teapots and cups on the ground.Xue Yao frowned: "Didn't you tell me not to disturb me? What's the matter?"

Chuyue complained: "I'm afraid my husband is thirsty, so I made some tea." She glanced at the guards, "But now... oh..."

The guard complained: "This subordinate didn't even touch Madam."

"It's none of your business. It's all because Chuyue has been weak since she was a child. She is prone to dizziness after standing for a long time." Chuyue held her forehead, looking very weak, "Since your husband is out, can you let Chuyue go in and sit and rest?" ?”

Knowing that she was pretending, Xue Yao could only nod: "Come in."

Chuyue succeeded in her trick, and followed happily.Xue Yao asked her helplessly: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want to invite you... please..." Chuyue looked at Bai Liqi at the side, and hesitated to speak.

Xue Yao didn't doubt that he was there, and he was very frank: "Mr. Bai is my brother who was born and died. He is not an outsider, so there is no need to avoid it."

Chuyue stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and said, "I want to invite you... to sleep in my room tonight!"

Bai Liqi almost couldn't hold back his smile, so he almost covered his mouth, turned around and left in a hurry: "This subordinate will take his leave first, take his leave."

Chuyue turned her face away and didn't dare to look at Xue Yao. She twisted her cuffs nervously, and twitched, "Well... I found that I slept very well last night, and I didn't even have a dream. So I think , you last night..."

Hearing that she was going non-stop last night, Xue Yao hurriedly interrupted her: "Last night I was just... afraid that you wouldn't be able to think about it and sleep well."

"Sure enough, I didn't expect it! You know martial arts, did you click my sleeping point?" Chuyue circled around Xue Yao, constantly gesticulating on herself, "How did you do it, click here , or here? You must teach me!"

Xue Yao couldn't help but said helplessly: "I'm busy today, if Madam has nothing else to do, please go back."

"Are you agreeing?" Seeing that Xue Yao didn't deny it, Chuyue turned around to leave in satisfaction.When she arrived at the door, she turned around again and waved her hand at Xue Yao, "You are sure you must come! Teach me some sleeping spots!"

Xue Yao buried his head in writing and ignored her.Hearing that she had gone out, Xue Yao looked up at her back, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Idiot."

He lowered his head and continued to deal with official duties, but he always felt a little restless.After an unknown amount of time, Bai Liqi knocked on the door and came in: "General, Admiral Su invited you to come over to the mansion, saying that there is something important to do."
