Qing Lingyi sometimes felt that she was quite smart, but at this moment, she didn't understand what was going on.
Cheng Anle was sleeping soundly with Xiao Huang in her arms. Qing Lingyi covered her with a brocade quilt and got out of bed.
"What's going on?" Qing Lingyi wiped his face.
"I asked the guard Ji," Biwei put on a cloak for her. "He said he didn't know. Madam should ask the general herself."
Qing Lingyi was shocked: "Let me ask? How dare I?"
As he was talking, he reached the door, and the lights gradually came closer in the rain and fog, revealing the general outline of the person.
Cheng Yang came in the rain, and Wu Liang followed closely, holding an umbrella.
There were several people behind, all men, all dressed as guards.
No clear pear.
Arriving outside the door, Cheng Yang told Wu Liang: "Guard the yard."
"yes."
Cheng Yang stepped through the door. There was no trace of water on his black robe, but it was wrapped in slightly cold moisture.
His temples were wet, and a few strands hung between his eyebrows, diluting his original aggressiveness and instead appearing somewhat bright and gentle.
Qing Lingyi was a little nervous: "General."
Cheng Yang said "hmm" and glanced at Bi Wei.
Qing Lingyi understood what he meant and said, "Biwei, go and rest."
Bi Wei didn't respond and looked at her worriedly.
Qing Lingyi gave him a "nothing" look in return.
Biwei then left.
"You guys have a good relationship." Cheng Yang commented.
"We grew up together." Qing Lingyi explained.
She glanced at him and said, "General, take a hot bath first to avoid catching the cold."
Cheng Yang glanced sideways: "I thought you would ask about Qingli first."
Qing Lingyi's expression changed slightly.
Cheng Yang saw it and seemed to be in a good mood. He led her to the bathroom and said, "Talking while washing."
There is still unused hot water in the bathroom, but it's not much. It's just for washing your face, but it's definitely not enough for taking a bath.
"General, we have to ask them to bring some hot water."
"good."
Cheng Yang let go of his hand, Qing Lingyi turned back to the door and stuck his head out: "Steward Wu!"
Wu Liang came over: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Qing Lingyi asked in a low voice: "I heard that Qingli came back with the general?"
Wu Liang also lowered his voice cautiously: "Yes, when I came back, I didn't know what kind of vicious person I met, and one of my wrists was broken! He must not have even the slightest hesitation... That's all, I still don't get along. Madam, please explain in detail so as not to scare you."
Qing, the most vicious person involved, Ling Yi: "..."
She looked complicated, "Then...what happened between her and the general?"
Wu Liang shook his head: "I don't know about that. Madam, you and the general have the closest relationship in the family now. Why don't you ask."
Qing Lingyi thought, you are crazy, I have the closest relationship with Cheng Yang.
Aren't you, the lieutenant, the closest to him? !
Hiding it from her, they all kept it from her.
She stopped asking and sighed: "The general wants to take a bath, go get some hot water."
"okay."
Qing Lingyi returned to the bathroom uneasily.
The light inside was dim, and she heard Cheng Yang say: "Bring a lamp."
"good."
She turned back and held a lotus pattern porcelain lamp.
With the added light, she saw at a glance that there was a black robe on the screen, which was the one worn by Cheng Yang.
He was afraid that he had already taken off his clothes.
Qing Lingyi stopped here and did not go any further. He only said: "General, I asked Butler Wu to prepare hot water. It should be here soon."
Cheng Yang didn't say anything, and the sound of friction of clothing came from the other end, which was so slight that it was almost inaudible.
Here, Qing Lingyi said neither lightly nor seriously: "I heard... the general brought Qingli back."
"What did you say?" Cheng Yang's voice was lazy.
Qing Lingyi repeated in a louder voice: "I heard that you brought Qingli back."
"Can't hear you clearly," Cheng Yang said in a casual tone, "Come over and tell me."
“……”
Qing Lingyi was sure that he heard clearly.
Nothing good will happen if you let her pass!
"It seems you don't want to know." Cheng Yang said again.
Qing Lingyi pursed her lips, braced herself, and walked around the screen.
She thought of a quick victory, and said as she walked: "The general has great supernatural powers. He should have heard about what happened in the house these days. It was I who sent Qingli to Zhuangzi. I heard the report this morning that she was missing. Yes, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and her pupils dilated slightly.
No wonder she was asked to come.
Not only did he take off his clothes, he was almost naked!
The shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow. The muscles are undulating in an alternating light and dark manner. Old and new scars are scattered all over the body, making him extremely wild.
"Say it again." Cheng Yang pulled the waistband of his pants down.
"Don't!"
Qing Lingyi exclaimed almost subconsciously.
Cheng Yang pretended to be puzzled: "Why, aren't you curious about Qingli?"
Qing Lingyi:...
Pretend, keep pretending!
You really need to change your damn bad taste!
She swallowed the truth hard and squeezed out a false one: "The hot water hasn't arrived yet. The general has taken off his clothes. He will definitely catch a cold."
"Oh? Really?"
"Uh-huh!"
"What will you do if I catch a cold?"
"Of course I feel distressed."
"Aren't you going to ask a doctor for me?"
Qing Lingyi choked for a moment, calmed down, and said: "While feeling distressed, please call the doctor."
Cheng Yang looked like he was smiling but not smiling, he raised his legs and walked closer.
Some lewd scenes flashed through Qing Lingyi's mind, and her cheeks began to heat up.
But thinking of Qingli and the muscles she mentioned about relaxing, soft and pink, she calmed down again and frowned.
Cheng Yang took away the lamp and placed it on a wooden shelf aside.
The black eyes turned back and fell on her face.
Qing Lingyi turned his head away.
"What?" Cheng Yang pinched her chin and turned her face.
"I don't dare to look at you without clothes." Qing Lingyi said in a muffled voice.
Cheng Yang stared at her for a moment and sneered: "No, you're not."
After a pause, he said: "Qingli will come back with me because I saved her."
Qing Lingyi was startled: "Why..."
Cheng Yang raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you guess first who attacked Zhuangzi and kidnapped Qingli."
It would be fine if he didn't ask. When he asked, Qing Lingyi understood instantly and murmured: "...Jiang Yizhou."
Cheng Yang showed some approval.
She is indeed quite smart. No wonder Shangshu Ling's only son has always been obsessed with her and even sent out such a precious killer.
Jiang Zhao loved to engage in assassinations and spent many years of hard work to raise a group of killers.
When Jiang Yizhou became an official, Jiang Zhao gave him a few to encourage him.
The one who wears Tsing Yi and has a dark complexion must be the best among them.
His skills are good, but unfortunately, he is still far behind his superior Ru Jian.
What's even more pity is that Qing Lingyi is already his, and it can only be his.
Half of the wounds on the corner of her mouth were scratched by the princess, and the other half were marks left by him.
"But," Qing Lingyi frowned, "Why did he break into Zhuangzi to rescue Qingli? What is his purpose?"
She raised her face slightly and looked at him, "And...why did the general save her? What is the purpose of rescuing her? Should he wait for her to recover and send her out of the house, or should he take her as a concubine?"
Cheng Yang listened patiently and stared at her, his eyes darkened and his voice was deep: "Kiss me and I will tell you everything."
