Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm

Let the other three go out first, and then teach Nangong Xiu Lan earnestly.

"The Shadow Guard is someone who protects me. I have relied on Huaichuan to protect me all the way to Qilian County. You are not allowed to be so rude to Huaichuan! And you are not allowed to talk about sleeping or not in front of outsiders, understand?"

Nangong Xiu Lan nodded obediently, put his pillow at the head of Yao Jia's bed, took off his clothes, got on the bed, and then called Yao Jia to come up and sleep.

Yao Jia hesitated. To be honest, she was not ready to do that with Nangong Xiu Lan. Kissing and hugging were fine, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Besides, she has important things to deal with later.

"Well, you go to sleep first. I will... take a look at the sacrificial process of the Shangsi Festival."

After saying that, he ignored Nangong Xiu Lan behind him and sat down at the desk, looking through the materials.

Nangong Xiu Lan didn't insist this time. He obediently lay down in the bed. Soon, his even breathing sounds could be heard from the bed.

Yao Jia put down the book and walked towards him. Only after making sure that he was asleep did she breathe a sigh of relief.

He tiptoed out of the door and came to Langyue's room.

The house where Langyue lives is against the wall, Mingjue is on the right, and there is a green bamboo guarding the roof, so there is no need to worry about eavesdropping.

Huaichuan and Hongying had been waiting for a long time. When they saw her come in, they stepped forward and saluted.

Yao Jia waved at the two of them, "Alright, let's talk business."

Hongying spoke first, "Young Master, news has come from the capital that Concubine Shu has fallen out of favor."

And presented the whole story to Yao Jia for his review.

Yao Jia took the letter and started reading it.

It turned out that more than a year ago, a handsome young eunuch came to Concubine Shu's palace. His name was Xiao Mengzi. He was not only eloquent, but also a good dancer.

Concubine Shu was extremely favored and even learned a stunning dance from Xiao Mengzi.

The emperor was completely fascinated by her and was promoted to Shu Guifei.

Unfortunately, the emperor was old and could not satisfy the young Concubine Shu in bed, but there were no other men in the palace.

This little Mengzi came from a brothel and knew a lot about serving people. He went out of the palace and found many things to comfort Concubine Shu.

As time went by, when the emperor did not go to Concubine Shu's palace, Xiao Mengzi would serve Concubine Shu on his behalf.

Unfortunately, just seven days ago, the truth was revealed. In the middle of the night, the emperor suddenly felt like looking for his beloved concubine secretly. He didn't expect to run into this kind of thing and fainted from anger.

After waking up, he had the young eunuch executed by slow slicing, banished Concubine Shu to the cold palace, and made every effort to investigate who recommended Xiao Mengzi.

Yao Jia lit the letter with the candlelight, watching the flames magnify in her hand, "In seven days, maybe the truth will be revealed. I just don't know if His Majesty will be soft-hearted and keep it to himself."

Hongying smiled and said, "Young Master, you are joking. Although this incident happened in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, it is a pity that Concubine Shu has made too many enemies. Even if Your Majesty wants to cover it up, it may not be able to stop Youyou from talking about it."

"What do you mean?" Yao Jia was puzzled.

Hongying said, "That young eunuch is a boastful person. As soon as he left the palace, he liked to brag to others, saying that his meteoric rise to prominence was due to the guidance of an expert. I'm afraid the Imperial History Bureau will soon be transferred to another owner."

Yao Jia smiled. She had seen stupid teammates before, but this was the first time she had seen one who betrayed her so much. There was no need to investigate now. Just reporting him would make Chen Ying suffer the consequences.

Yao Jia looked at Huai Chuan again, "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Huaichuan said: "As the master expected, the governor of Qilian County is indeed colluding with Chen Ying."

An unpredictable look slowly appeared on Yao Jia's face. "Chen Ying, even if I can't defeat you this time, when I get to Qilian, I will definitely make sure you never stand up again."

As they were talking, the tiles on the roof moved slightly, and the three of them immediately fell silent.

From time to time, the sound of fighting could be heard on the roof.

Hongying pushed open the window without saying a word and flew away. Soon she came back with Qingzhu.

"Young Master, it's Gu Xiyan."

Yao Jia frowned slightly, "What is he doing here?"

Hongying looked at Yaojia and smiled without saying anything.

Yao Jia laughed, "Just pretend I didn't ask."

Qingzhu had already told her that Gu Xiyan would appear in front of them every once in a while, just to test whether she had returned.

When they returned to the room, it was already late at night. Afraid of waking up Nangong Xiu Lan, Yao Jia lay on the couch in the outer room.

After traveling during the day and using my brain for a while, when I lay down, I felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, a white figure got down from the bed, tiptoed to Yao Jia, picked her up by the waist, and put her back on the bed.

In the early morning, Yao Jia opened her eyes drowsily, and what she saw was a fair and delicate chest. She raised her hand and touched it, and it felt firm and smooth.

My gaze moved upwards and met a pair of silly willow-shaped eyes.

Yao Jia sat up with a confused look on her face.

No matter how she tried to recall, she couldn't remember how she got into bed, let alone how she took off Nangong Xiu Lan's clothes and fell asleep on top of him.

Yao Jia lowered his head, not daring to look at the alluring beauty on the bed.

"Put on your clothes quickly."

Nangong Xiu Lan sat up slowly, and just as he raised his arm, he cried out "Ouch" and hugged his right arm.

Yao Jia was startled and looked up. She saw mist in his eyes and a look of grievance on his handsome face. She asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Nangong Xiulan blinked her eyelashes, "My arm hurts so much, I can't lift it up."

Yao Jia then realized that the arm must have been pressed by her all night, so it was so painful that she couldn't lift it this morning.

Feeling somewhat guilty, he pulled his clothes and tied the belt for him personally, then pulled him up and put on his coat.

Nangong Xiu Lan looked at Yao Jia's serious expression with a slightly silly smile on his face.

By the time they had breakfast, Nangong Xiu Lan began to hug her arms again, looking like she was about to cry.

Yao Jia quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and fed him mouthful by mouthful.

Nangong Xiu Lan, who was eating, would glance in Ming Jue's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

When their eyes met, a hint of cunning flashed in Nangong Xiu Lan's eyes, which made Ming Jue's hand holding the chopsticks tighten unconsciously.

The look in his eyes didn't look like he was stupid or ignorant of the world. Instead, it was clearly full of provocation!

Yes, it was a provocation! And it was full of hostility.

I'm afraid this person has recovered!

Mingjue had this thought subconsciously.

But does Yaojia know about it?

Judging from her eager look, she probably already knew it and might even be enjoying it.

Mingjue imagined the whole thing and felt more and more sad.

After he ate his meal in a hurry, he said to everyone, "I'm full, enjoy your meal." Then he got up and went back to his room.

Three days later, the convoy finally arrived in Qilian County.

Qilian County is the main grain producing area in the entire Daxia. The grain produced here is high in yield and variety, and the farmers' breeding level is far higher than that of other regions.

As Yao Jia walked along, he saw the newly emerged wheat seedlings in the fields, green and swaying in the wind. A few farmers were working in the fields, spreading some unknown fertilizer on the ground.

Local officials and wealthy businessmen had already been standing at the city gate to welcome the guests. When they saw the convoy approaching, they hurried forward to salute.

Tianxing Pavilion has always been mysterious. In the past, when Nangong Xiu Lan came here, he never interacted with them. He just paid his respects and went directly to where they were staying.

Yao Jia also followed Nangong Xiu Lan's usual style and only greeted them briefly and exchanged a few words of courtesy, then let the officers and soldiers lead the way to Sanqing Temple.

People either sat or lay down in the carriage. When Yao Jia arrived at her residence, she immediately asked Huaichuan to take out her sword.

He danced with a sword in the yard to stretch his muscles.

Nangong Xiu Lan has been living with Yao Jia these days. Although he has his own yard here, he still asked Lin Jiang to move his personal belongings into Yao Jia's yard.

There is an old peach tree in the yard, with clusters of light pink and red flowers blooming. When the breeze blows, the petals fall in a riot of colour.

Not far from the tree, a light blue figure was practicing swordplay in the red rain of falling peach blossoms. His movements were smooth and flowing, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon.

Nangong Xiu Lan stared at the enchanting figure infatuatedly, with unconcealable amazement in his eyes.

After Yao Jia finished dancing and handed the sword in her hand to Huaichuan, he ran over and kept praising her.

"My lady looked so beautiful just now, like a fairy descending from heaven."

"puff!"

A discordant, sneering sound came from the roof.
