In the end, Xie Xingyun woke up with a “hangover”. With dark eyes, he got someone to investigate this thing thoroughly.
This colorless and odorless thing was called “Cloud Fragrance”. It should have been obtained by Li Changning from her mother, Noble Consort An. Just a little of it could make people drunk. Li Changning might have poured a lot of it into her tea.
After Bai Xianyu kept a little, she put it away in the secret buckle of her hairpin.
She had just reached the rockery when she heard the footsteps of the guards outside.
“Right there!”
“I saw a woman looking around here just now. She sneaked in!”
“You guys follow me. The rest of you, seal this place immediately!”
Bai Xianyu stopped in her tracks and immediately walked back into the depths of the rockery. Unexpectedly, a large palm suddenly grabbed her waist.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes widened. “Xie Xingyun!”
“It’s me.” Xie Xingyun hugged her with one arm and made a shushing gesture at her. He frowned slightly. “Hide first. There’s no other way out here.”
The footsteps became louder and louder. Bai Xianyu had thought so too and agreed cooperatively.
Before they reached the rockery, a report came from outside. “The Emperor has arrived, Noble Consort An has arrived!”
Although she was already prepared, Bai Xianyu could not help but frown when she guessed what was happening in front of her.
If she really succeeded in her plan, the other party’s reputation would be ruined.
Noble Consort An was actually quite puzzled. Earlier, Ning’er’s maidservant had told her that she had to bring people here to take a look and must bring her Father along. She could guess which girl she wanted to use tricks on.
This was not the first time the mother and daughter had cooperated, so she did not ask who it was. In short, there were many people who had made Ning’er unhappy, and it was not the first time Ning’er had pranked someone.
Emperor Wu Xuan doted on Noble Consort An a lot. When he heard that she wanted to come to this courtyard to drink and enjoy the breeze, he came. The moment he arrived, he saw guards rushing in in groups.
The leading guard bowed and cupped his fists. “Your Majesty, Noble Consort An, when I was patrolling here just now, a maidservant rushed over and said that she saw someone enter the inner palace. Hence, I was about to bring people to investigate when I met you and Noble Consort An.”
Coupled with Noble Consort An’s interference, Emperor Wu Xuan who originally had no intention of following, also got someone to lead the way and personally came here.
Everyone walked towards the rockery unhurriedly.
This large rockery was rugged and steep. The highest point was two stories high, and there were no less than eight or nine small paths in the middle. Xie Xingyun took a glance and locked onto the safest spot.
However, this safest spot could only accommodate two people. There was not even room for a palm.
Compared to Bai Xianyu, who was constantly paying attention to the movements outside, Xie Xingyun was in a relaxed posture. His hand was placed on her slender waist as he wished. Her delicate body, which had been violated by countless gazes, was quietly hugged by him and pressed against him softly.
The man once again thought of the image of her dancing and could not help but feel his throat tighten. Those covetous gazes appeared in his mind again. Xie Xingyun could not help but tighten his arms, his dark eyes cold and sharp.
Bai Xianyu felt that the hand on her waist was hurting her, so she pinched his arm hard.
Xie Xingyun lowered his head and met her warning gaze.
At this moment, the moonlight parted the clouds and fog, coating her exquisite face with a layer of clear radiance, like the clear frost and cold moon. Only the shallow anger in her eyes added some color to the world.
The hibiscus face and willowy waist. Although her dress had been tidied, it was still a little messy. The girl’s hands were placed on both sides of his body because she was afraid of being discovered. She clenched them into fists slightly. It looked like she had pressed him against a rockery.
The corners of the handsome man’s lips curled up slightly. He loosened his grip on her waist and looked sideways at her fair and small fists. Suddenly, he clenched them.
Bai Xianyu paused.
A mountain away, Emperor Wu Xuan was talking to Noble Consort An. The footsteps of the two pairs of guards were uniform!
What was he doing!
Xie Xingyun quickly moved her fists to his chest and whispered in her ear, “The rockery is rough. It will hurt your hands.”
Bai Xianyu’s knuckles were indeed a little painful from the pressure, but was this the time to care if her hands were bruised…
She held her breath and waited for them to pass. At this moment, Noble Consort An suddenly stopped in her tracks and walked towards them with a smile.
“Your Majesty, do you think this peach blossom is blooming well? Is it worthy of me?”
Bai Xianyu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Was this the time to admire the flowers?
It was no wonder that Noble Consort An could be a favorite of the six palaces. In such a situation, she could also be playful. It was simply like inviting favor at any time and place. How could other women win against her?
Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes and quickly changed positions with Bai Xianyu, using his back to block her.
The girl was petite. With him covering her, not even a strand of hair could be seen.
Bai Xianyu’s slender fingers grabbed his dark golden belt, and his chest heaved slightly..
