Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous
Chapter 63 1 Exploring the Dark Market
When she heard that the two were leaving, Lu Ziyan, who was stuffed under the bed, struggled even harder.
Ji Zhen had no choice but to lean under the bed and sigh to Lu Ziyan who was struggling:
"Don't struggle. This is my palace. Everyone outside is my people. Unless I let you out, it will be useless no matter how much you struggle. Do you understand?"
Lu Ziyan's body was tense, his bound hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms. He stared at Ji Zhen, his slender and upturned eyes full of anger and frustration, like a trapped beast, which made Ji Zhen's heart jump.
She reached out her hand, gently touched the corner of his eye, and said with a smile:
"These eyes are much more lively than when they were behind the throne."
Suddenly, Lu Ziyan stopped moving, the light in his eyes dimmed, he turned his head away, and gave up all struggle. But Ji Zhen didn't do what he wanted, pinched his chin, turned his head around, took out the handkerchief blocking his mouth, raised an eyebrow and said:
"You and I are old friends. I will give you another chance. Tell me what Li Yuanzhen wants to do by going to the dark market?"
Lu Ziyan looked at Ji Zhen deeply, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he was silent than ever.
"Don't say it?" Ji Zhen's eyes were as sharp as knives.
Lu Ziyan simply closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and let his long eyelashes tremble without making a sound.
Seeing Lu Ziyan like this, Ji Zhen snorted coldly, stuffed the handkerchief back into his mouth, patted his face, and sneered:
"Love is stronger than gold."
"Zhen Zhen!"
Zhao Youqing, who had been standing by without saying anything, could no longer bear it and pulled Ji Zhen over, dragging her out the door without saying anything. As he walked, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's go. If you don't leave now, you're going to touch his entire body."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ji Zhen was dragged out of the door by Zhao Youqing, feeling both amused and helpless. The yard was empty and all the guards and servants were standing guard at the gate in accordance with her orders.
Not bad, he is worthy of being trained by Wen Daoxing.
Ji Zhen patted Zhao Youqing, who was in a bad mood, soothingly, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and instructed the guards and servants at the gate:
"The four of you go guard the door of the dormitory, take my sign, and then go to Mr. Daoxing to ask for four people to guard the gate of the courtyard. Remember this courtyard, before I come back, no one is allowed to enter without my warrant. Not even Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness Xian Yao. Do you understand?"
"My subordinates have the order!"
Everyone dispersed as ordered. Ji Zhen took two steps toward the courtyard gate, then stopped, twirled his fingers and called out:
"Night Breeze."
A dark shadow appeared silently beside Ji Zhen.
"Your Highness."
"Have you found out the things I asked you to investigate?" Ji Zhen asked softly with his back to Zhao Youqing.
"Checked it out."
Ye Feng took a step forward and whispered in Ji Zhen's ear. After a long while, Ji Zhen nodded, took out a jade talisman from his bosom, put it in Ye Feng's hand, and said to him:
"Go to the East Camp immediately and select the soldiers to arrest the person."
"But... Your Highness..."
Ye Feng hesitated, which was rare. He glanced at Zhao Youqing who was standing three steps behind Ji Zhen. The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"It's okay, just go and get the person." Ji Zhen patted Ye Feng's shoulder.
"Yes, Your Highness." This time Ye Feng said nothing more and disappeared into the night sky.
Ji Zhen was in a trance for a moment as he watched the night wind disappear into the night sky.
The wind blew through the wind chimes on the eaves of Tingyu Pavilion, and two clepsydra sounds were heard. Ji Zhen perked up, stretched out his hand, turned sideways and looked at Zhao Youqing and said:
"It's the second watch, let's go. Do you want to go on horseback or on foot?"
Zhao Youqing stepped forward and took Ji Zhen's hand, interlocking their fingers, holding it tightly and whispering:
"The moonlight is beautiful. Your Highness, please walk slowly with me."
The moonlight was like water, pouring down all over the ground. Ji Zhen put away the glass lamp, and walked hand in hand with Zhao Youqing on the deserted street, guided only by the moonlight.
"This is the first time I walk hand in hand with you like this."
Zhao Youqing's steps were slow, and Ji Zhen followed his pace, but she was thinking about the things in the dark market in her heart, and she just hummed twice perfunctorily in response to what he said.
"Don't worry about Yunzi. Years of worry won't kill him." Zhao Youqing said lightly.
Ji Zhen paused, stood still, held Zhao Youqing's hand tightly, frowned, and looked at him without blinking.
"How many spies have you placed in my house?"
Ji Zhen's voice was chilly, but Zhao Youqing shook his head and smiled faintly:
"Zhenzhen, I'm not Li Yuanying. I don't need any spies to guess what's going on with you. Do you believe me?"
Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at him, but did not answer. Zhao Youqing continued:
"Your birthday party lasted for three days, but you disappeared today. The host is not here, but the guests are enjoying themselves. Only you, the Prince of Qingyan, can do that. You drove Her Highness the Princess and Her Highness Xian Yao out, and just stayed in Lanyun Pavilion to have some free time. I wanted to find you, but was stopped."
"You came to see me? What's the matter?"
Ji Zhen didn't know that Zhao Youqing came to see her. It was true that she was staying in Lanyun Pavilion, but no one informed her.
Zhao Youqing took out a small box from his arms slowly, handed it to Ji Zhen, and said:
"I'll give you this."
Ji Zhen opened the box and saw that it was Sui Sui You!
She slammed the box shut and dragged Zhao Youqing into a dark alley beside the street. She looked around warily and asked in a low voice:
"How do you have such a thing?"
"I got it from Princess Xian Yao's mansion." Zhao Youqing didn't intend to hide anything.
"Is this kind of thing available to everyone in Princess Xian Yao's mansion?"
Ji Zhen's brows were tightly locked. She felt very uncomfortable about Zhao Youqing being involved in this matter.
"Oh, let me correct myself. Actually, I stole it." Zhao Youqing said nonchalantly.
"Why would you steal something like that?"
Ji Zhen was suspicious and was about to ask when she saw a wooden door at the end of the alley slowly open. An old man with a lantern walked out, stood at the door unsteadily, raised the lantern and shone it forward, and asked:
"Who is making noise here?"
Ji Zhen shut up immediately. She thought this was an empty alley, but she didn't expect there was a house here!
Wait!
Ji Zhen turned around abruptly and looked at the old man. The family was less than ten feet away from her and Zhao Youqing, but they were talking and making noise. Could it be that he had heard everything she and Zhao Youqing had just said?
Not good.
Ji Zhen frowned and looked at Zhao Youqing, only to find that he had changed his weak look when she pushed him against the wall just now, and bowed to the old man and said:
"Old man, the flowers are fragrant in the deep spring, and the moon is brighter at night. My wife and I are in no mood to sleep, can you knock on the wooden door and see the world?"
Upon hearing this, the old man took another step forward, and the lantern in his hand was stretched out in front of Zhao Youqing and Ji Zhen like a magic trick.
Ji Zhen suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, her whole body tensed up, her right hand moved slightly, and her fingertips were ready to strike. Zhao Youqing pressed Ji Zhen's right hand imperceptibly, and held her in his arms, with her back facing the lantern. Then he hung a jade plaque on the hook at the bottom of the lantern.
The old man put away the lantern, looked at the jade token carefully, turned back into the house, and waved to the two of them:
"come in."
