Chapter 46 He Likes This [Seeking Follow-up Reading]
Thunder roared and rain fell all over the city.
Looking out from the boudoir, the once prosperous front court had no lights at all, and the thousands of eaves and rooms were drenched by the night rain. The atmosphere was filled with a deep sense of loneliness and a sense of how things and people had changed.
"Ugh……"
A melancholy sigh was carried away by the night wind, and the woman in palace dress turned back into the room, sitting on the embroidered couch with a dazed look in her eyes.
I don’t know whether Feng Guaner has left the city.
When I return to the palace tomorrow morning, I dare not even think about how I will get through the days ahead. My mind is completely blank right now.
"Woo..."
After a while, a faint whimpering sound came from the bed.
Shi Fengque was extremely scared now. She was afraid that it would be dawn soon and she would have to get on the sedan chair and go back to the deserted palace to spend the next few decades of life without hope.
"It would be better to find a small rope and hang yourself."
She buried her face in the quilt and muttered to herself.
"Pfft-"
A sound of amoral laughter came from the corridor.
Shi Fengque felt his whole body tense up, and he quickly turned over and grabbed a pair of scissors beside the pillow:
"who!"
"..."
There was silence outside the corridor for a moment. Just as Shi Fengque was becoming more and more frightened, a calm female voice suddenly came:
"Yu Niang, why are you scaring her?"
Oddly enough, upon hearing this voice, Shi Fengque's nervousness suddenly eased a lot.
"I didn't scare her."
The annoying but gentle female voice said, "Seeing her crying so sadly and then suddenly saying that, I couldn't help but laugh."
"..."
bang bang.
There was a polite knock on the door.
The female voice with a strange power to soothe people's hearts rang out: "Miss, don't be afraid. We are here to guard you under the orders of the commander of the Blue Dragon Hub of the Western Palace. We didn't mean to disturb you. Please forgive us."
Wei Mingqi again?
Although the West Palace in the Back Court was the other party's "territory" and he knew that she had left the palace, but he still gave people a strange feeling of being considerate and overbearing by arranging people to secretly guard her without any notice.
It makes people feel comforted, but also makes them worried, fearing that he will regard them as something easy to take.
Shi Fengque adjusted her makeup with conflicting emotions, then stood up and went to open the door. Just as she was about to greet them, she was struck by the appearance of the two women on the corridor and was distracted for a moment.
It's rainy at night on the covered bridge. She is wearing two silk skirts, one blue and one green, both of which are extremely gorgeous. The sword on her left waist is as cool as an immortal and makes people forget the world. The long weapon on her right back makes her plump and beautiful, like a gift from the world.
Is it possible that there are dragons and tigers hiding in Xifu?
"You two..."
"Thank you Beiling."
"Yu Qing, the governor of Canglongshu in the Western Palace, greets the Imperial Concubine."
It is also a self-introduction with a different style.
Shi Fengque came to her senses and invited the two into the house. No matter what the little thief was planning, she, as the mistress of the former court, couldn't let anyone stand outside in the cold wind.
"Thank you for your help, both of you—"
Sitting at the table, Shi Fengque made tea while apologizing: "Commander Wei didn't tell me, otherwise I would have invited you two in to chat."
In front of him, the woman in green dress who looked like a goddess descended to the earth just said quietly "It's no problem" and picked up the teacup without saying anything more.
On the contrary, the beauty in the green dress, who was so bright that she added some color to the room, looked her up and down with an undisguised interested look:
"I was confused when I came here, but now that I've seen the Imperial Concubine, I finally understand. No wonder the young master didn't forget the Imperial Concubine before he left in such a hurry. Which man in the world can let go of such a person?"
"..."
The gentle and somewhat girlish face raised up, the clear and childish eyebrows drooped in embarrassment, and said with a bit of annoyance:
"What are you talking about, girl? I have nothing wrong with that guy, and he even calls me auntie. It's not what you think."
"That's right." The woman in the green dress suddenly curled her lips and looked away with her almond-shaped eyes:
“He likes this.”
"?"
Shi Fengque looked over in confusion, only to see the goddess in green dress who was quietly drinking tea raise her head, her slender phoenix eyes revealing a cold expression:
"joke?"
"joke."
Green Skirt picked up the tea in a timid manner: "I just feel sorry for myself~ I usually call him Yu Niang Yu Niang in a very affectionate way. I wish I could really get the title of his concubine, then he would be so hot that I would die."
"??"
Shi Fengque didn't understand, but he felt that the words were quite explosive and against human ethics.
Looking at the girl in the green skirt again, I don't know what the two of them usually talk about in private. She was not surprised to hear this and instead calmly gave advice:
"His father is still alive. It's still in time for you to go to Ludi."
"Forget it~"
The green skirt with a brain that seemed to be abnormal chuckled and said:
"I'm afraid the young master will punch me to death."
"..."
Shi Fengque couldn't help but drink some tea to calm her nerves. She couldn't understand any of this conversation between gods and just felt scared.
Sudden--
Xie Beiling, who was sitting beside the table, flipped her wrist and threw the teacup in her hand toward the closed window. Yu Qing, who was originally smiling sweetly like a fairy, also grabbed the spear beside the table and shook the tip of the spear like the tongue of a snake, instantly causing countless sparks.
Boom——
Half of the wall suddenly exploded, with broken stones and wood chips flying everywhere. Xie Beiling grabbed the stunned Shi Fengque and hid behind Yu Qing. The latter turned his spear and "unfolded the pearl curtain", and as he danced, he rolled up the heavy debris to the ground.
"drink!"
With a delicate cry, Yu Qing suddenly raised the tip of his spear horizontally, tensed his whole body, and thrust forward with a 'Black Tiger Entering the Cave' move, creating a sharp wave of wind.
chap——
Sparks flew, and the spear shaft that was as hard as raw steel bent horribly. The wooden board under Yu Qing's feet cracked like paper, and he was almost trapped in it. Although his body did not move at all, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.
A gentle breeze blowing silently.
Bang bang bang!
The three copper coins were crushed into powder, leaving only a few inconspicuous black spots on the surface of the ten-foot-long sword.
"Jin Liancheng?"
Taking advantage of the gap found by Xie Beiling, Yu Qing took a few steps back and wiped his mouth and nose, his tone full of doubt:
"When did your sword become so domineering?"
"..."
A short-haired man in a black suit stood by the wall, facing away from the wind and rain. He had a tough face and a short, hard beard. He did not hesitate to hear the words. He held a 10-foot-long sword in his hand and said directly:
"Master Yu, I have no intention of being your enemy. Hand over the concubine to me. I owe you a favor today."
"I have never heard of Liu Hou being so anxious."
There was some red on Yu Qing's lips and nose, which made his smile look more dangerous. "Could it be that my young master's Aunt Shi has some secret?"
Shi Fengque, who was being protected in Xie Beiling's arms, finally came back to his senses and poked his head out aggrievedly:
“Miss Yu, he is just lustful.”
"..."
Jin Liancheng, holding the Spring and Autumn sword, turned around and smiled warmly:
"Your Highness is right. This duke is ill and lustful."
Shi Fengque was so scared that he went back and grabbed Xie Beiling, crying, "What should we do? Can Miss Yu beat him?"
"It's hard to win, but we still have to fight."
Yu Qing replied with a helpless laugh, holding the spear tightly and said:
"Being beaten to death by him is better than being beaten to death by the young master. After all, my master and aunt don't have any of them."
There is another update in the early morning.
