Cypress Boat Floating

Following Ye Jianqing's instructions, Du Rou went to Prince Xian's Mansion every day in the past few days. However, every day she would talk to the housekeeper at the door for a few words and then walk back with a sad face. She had never set foot inside the palace.

When others saw this, they all began to recall the rumors in the teahouse some time ago, and speculated whether the girl in the mansion was really about to die, so even Miss Du, who was closest to her, disappeared.

These things gradually became the topic of conversation after dinner. Whenever people met, they would chat about the Prince Xian's Mansion, even in places like Chunmanlou where people sought pleasure.

Jiang Wanyin sat in the private room on the second floor, listening to everyone downstairs discussing the affairs of the Xianwang Mansion, her face was very calm. It had been four or five days since she last came to the Xianwang Mansion, but she couldn't get in that time. If you count it this way, it has been almost ten days since she last saw Ye Jianqing.

"Ye Jianqing cannot die at this time." Aunt Chun walked in with a stern expression. Obviously, she had also heard the news. She was just worried that Ye Jianqing's death at this time would affect her master's plan.

"How was she the last time you visited her?" Aunt Chun asked Jiang Wanyin anxiously. She couldn't stand seeing Jiang Wanyin being so calm, so she wanted to ask her to use her relationship with Ye Jianqing to find out more.

"Just like before, unconscious, unresponsive, lifeless eyes, and faints easily." Jiang Wanyin was finally willing to look away from the downstairs.

"Could it be that that person really succeeded?" Aunt Chun is different from Jiang Wanyin. Aunt Chun started working for her master a long time ago and knows more about this place of entertainment than Jiang Wanyin. She already knew why Ye Jianqing became like this.

But now the ending is different from what she heard at the beginning, which makes her doubt whether that person has deceived her.

"Who knows? But now you are not allowed in and no one can be seen. There is no point in worrying." Jiang Wanyin was relaxed. She was different from Aunt Chun. Aunt Chun always thought about completing the tasks of her master, while she just coveted that tenderness. So if Ye Jianqing was really dead, she could continue to indulge in this tenderness and would not be forced to approach King Qin for his plan.

However, when she thought that Ye Jianqing was really dead, she still felt a little sad. Although their acquaintance had impure purposes, they all traveled through time and space and had attachment to the 21st century. If she was really dead, she would be the only one left here.

Aunt Chun glanced at her. She certainly knew what the pretty woman in front of her was thinking. She fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved, and she always felt that she would find what she wanted in this love, but she never thought that the master, who was so high and mighty, would be interested in a woman dancing in a brothel like her.

Even if she still had her body, the master would never have anything to do with her. What she was thinking was all wishful thinking. It was a pity. If she couldn't figure it out, she would just go through fire and water.

Aunt Chun left the private room. She knew that Jiang Wanyin would not go to the Xianwang Mansion again, at least not before the Xianwang Mansion let people in. She didn't cooperate, and she didn't intend to force it. After all, there were other ways to find out.

It was late at night and the curfew had expired. The streets were empty and the only sound was the footsteps of the armored patrol team. The Chunman Building was still brightly lit with singing and dancing.

Jiang Wanyin left the private room and returned to her room. She still couldn't stand such a noisy environment, especially when there were bursts of depressed sounds coming into her ears from time to time. Even after being here for so long, she still couldn't stand this sound.

Because Jiang Wanyin was special, Aunt Chun deliberately arranged her room in a more remote place in the backyard. On the one hand, it allowed her to practice dancing well, and on the other hand, it was also convenient to monitor her.

She is an uncontrollable factor. Now she can be controlled by her love for her master and forced to do things she doesn't want to do, but if her love fades one day, then we will have to use other methods.

Jiang Wanyin was completely unaware of this. She thought that this was her lover's special care for her. He didn't want her to be harassed by those people in the front yard, and he also wanted her to avoid those annoying noises.

Now she returned to her room, changed out of her rather revealing clothes and put on another more casual dress, picked up the veil from the side and quietly left the room.

She often went out from the backyard, but this was something that everyone tacitly agreed to, just like now, she thought she was secretly going out without telling anyone, but everything she did was done with the permission of others. She thought she was a swallow enjoying love freely, but in fact she was just a bird trapped in a cage, with every move being watched by others.

"Where is she going?" The messenger who appeared in Jiang Wanyin's room that day was now standing on the top of Chunman Tower with Aunt Chun, watching her leaving.

"Go to Prince Xian's Mansion." Aunt Chun said. She thought she knew Jiang Wanyin quite well.

"You're going to let her out like this?" The messenger raised his eyebrows. There was a curfew outside, and the chances of her walking from here to Prince Xian's mansion were not high.

"Let her go. She wants Ye Jianqing to die but doesn't want her to die. She will die faster if she keeps walking around on the wall." Aunt Chun accurately expressed Jiang Wanyin's inner thoughts.

"Naive." The messenger snorted coldly.

"Yes, I naively thought that my master would fall in love with her, and I naively thought that I could have both love and friendship in my hands. But there are not so many things in this world that can have the best of both worlds."

The lights in the prince's mansion and the imperial palace are never turned off. Under the lights, the imperial palace looks magnificent and dazzling.

Aunt Chun felt that the light was so blinding that she couldn't help but put her hands up to cover her eyes. "One day the master will extinguish that light himself."

She hated that light completely.

The messenger stood beside her, stretched out his arms to hold her closer to himself, and then picked her up sideways.

His deep voice rang in Aunt Chun's ears: "The light will not go out, but the master will replace it."

Aunt Chun knew what he wanted to do and did not resist. She just put her arms around his shoulders to prevent him from falling. Although she knew it was impossible, people still have a fear of heights.

The lower half of the messenger's face was wrapped in a black cloth. People in the dark cannot let others see their faces. Aunt Chun knew it. She used her fingers to trace this face. Apart from this face, she knew everything about this person's body.

She used her arms on the other's shoulders to support her upper body slightly, and her lips fell on the black cloth, fitting together with the lips under the cloth. The black cloth covering his face was like a fig leaf covering their relationship.

The messenger carried Aunt Chun into the room behind him.

The candlelight went out, and the voice that Jiang Wanyin hated the most came from the room.

......

Jiang Wanyin hid all the way, avoiding many patrol teams, and successfully walked to the Xianwang Mansion. Now she was only a few meters away from the back door of the Xianwang Mansion. She knew the road behind the door very well. She had walked there many times. She also knew the person behind the door, but she didn't dare to say whether she really knew her.

She only needed to take a few more steps forward to knock on the door and see if the person was still alive. It was obviously a very simple thing, but she began to back off and didn't dare to move forward any further.

She was afraid that Ye Jianqing was really dead, but she was also afraid that Ye Jianqing was not dead.

She admitted that her feelings for Ye Jianqing were complicated. She was also a complicated person. She was not clear-headed. She needed love, whether it was love or friendship.

But that man came earlier than Ye Jianqing and was more pure, so if she chose that man, she would have to let Ye Jianqing down.

She stood there looking at the door for a long time, but she still didn't have the courage to knock on the door. Since she had already made her choice, she had no way back and could only keep moving forward.

Turning and leaving, her figure blended into the darkness. She thought that she would not come again until the exact news came out.

"People are gone."

Lu Ci Qiu said to Ye Jianqing who was sitting upright, "Everyone is saying that you are going to die soon. Why are you still sitting here in the middle of the night? Are you afraid that no one will see you?"

"What is she doing here in the middle of the night?" Ye Jianqing's eyes followed Jiang Wanyin as she left. Instead of answering Lu Ci Qiu's question, he asked another question.

"Who knows." Lu Ci Qiu spread his hands. He didn't care about this woman.

"You know, people's emotions are actually very fragile. A simple thing can tear the relationship between two people apart." Ye Jianqing retracted his gaze and looked down at his hands.

She didn't know why she suddenly couldn't sleep today. Every time she couldn't sleep, she liked to sit on the roof, feeling the wind and looking at the sky. As she looked, the things in her mind became clear, and all the things she should and shouldn't think about disappeared.

But she didn't expect to see Jiang Wanyin here today, and she didn't expect that Jiang Wanyin would actually risk being caught to come find her.

"Whether emotions are fragile or not depends mainly on the person." Lu Ci Qiu looked at the direction where Jiang Wanyin was leaving, then looked at Ye Jianqing. He knew that Ye Jianqing was expressing his feelings about the relationship between her and Jiang Wanyin.

He had seen how good Ye Jianqing was to his friends, and he had also seen how caring and concerned Ye Jianqing was for Jiang Wanyin. At first he thought that Ye Jianqing did this on purpose to get close to Jiang Wanyin, but the more he read on, the more he realized that Ye Jianqing was just that kind of person.

So later when he discovered that Ye Jianqing's attitude towards Jiang Wanyin had changed, he began to worry whether Ye Jianqing had misunderstood his judgment because of what he said at the beginning, so he asked Ye Jianqing this question that day.

He just didn't have an answer yet.
