Chapter 604 – Rotten

Xu Qi’an picked up Mu Nanjian in a horizontal hug and walked into the bedroom, lifting up the quilt while putting her down.

While she was cooking in the cookhouse, Xu Qi’an had already made the bed.

When they left the capital, the sheets and quilts were well stowed away in the wooden cabinet and stuffed with insect repellent incense pills, so now they could be taken out and used straight away.

“Sleep!”

Xu Qi’an silently collected the anesthetic gas emitted by the poisonous parasites, sat down at the edge of the bed, grabbed Mu Nanjian’s ankles, and gently removed the embroidered shoes.

And then the White Sox.

Soon, a pair of white, crystalline feet were exposed to him.

It was also as big as Xu Qi’an’s palm, with a smoothly curved instep, rounded toes, beautifully cleanly trimmed toenails, and veins faintly visible under the white skin.

Her paws were pink, and when held in her hands, they were like the most delicate, warm and soft jade in the world.

Xu Qi’an pressed her thumb at her heel, unlike her own heel which had a thick layer of calluses due to her years of practicing martial arts, her heel was soft.

“Stopping at the right time, stopping at the right time ………”

He forced himself to put down his two little feet and pulled back the quilt to cover the Princess’s infinitely beautiful and delicate body.

Next, put the little white fox under the covers as well.

After a moment’s thought, recalling Shirahime’s past of suffocating until her legs flailed, she moved her out of the covers again and wrapped her in a robe.

Blowing out the candles and closing the door to his room, Xu Qi’an came into the courtyard and stroked the filly’s flank:

“Mare, the task of looking after them is yours.”

The filly, who had just finished her beans, was in a good mood and rubbed her face against the back of his hand.

………..

Shao Yin Palace.

Steam curls up and floats out from behind a triple-stacked screen in the spacious and luxurious bedroom, which is a copy of the Peony and Two Cranes painting.

Red lacquer bath tub water sound “clatter”, a pair of jade legs out of the tub, wearing light gauze waiting at the side of the two palace maids, one immediately unfolded silk cloth, carefully for the master to wipe the water droplets on the body.

The other took off the garment hanging on the screen and dressed his master.

In a few moments, Lin An with her hair held high came out from behind the screen, a light blue silk lining with a treasure blue skirt, the hem of which trailed on the ground.

She asked as she bent her legs and sat cross-legged on the bed:

“Have you fetched all the pills that you were told to fetch from the Imperial Apothecary?”

The courtesan on the left chirped:

“Pills, silver, and clothes …….. are all ready.”

The courtesan on the right covered her mouth and laughed:

“What is your highness preparing these things for?”

The courtesan on her left hit her and flirted:

“How dare you make fun of His Highness when you know better, beware of tearing your mouth off.”

The two courtesans “giggled”.

His Highness said on the mouth to draw a line with that person, no longer have a relationship, but in fact secretly secretly prepare pills, silver and clothes, fear that person injured no medicine to eat; walking in the jianghu lack of silver; wandering outside the clothing inconvenience.

Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are all taken into account.

They had served His Highness for so many years, but they had never seen her like this.

What kind of person is Her Highness Lin An? A delicate princess who was deeply favored by the late emperor, people who are too favored are generally heartless, when did she become so attached to a man?

Framed glared at them and asked casually:

“Has any news come back from the house this day.”

The mansion she was referring to was the Lin’an Mansion in the Imperial City, the mansion given to her by the late Emperor.

The framed tone was calm, seemingly an offhanded question, but there was anticipation in her flirtatious, watery eyes.

The two courtesans snapped to silence, looked at each other, and replied cautiously:

“No messages have been passed in from the house.”

The hope in Peach Blossom’s eyes dimmed as she nodded her head with a forced smile and an ‘oh’.

She waited in the palace for a day, not waiting for him to come and explain to her that she seemed to have been forgotten ever since that night when the Sithis parted ways.

Right now, there was no message passed in from the Princess’s residence in the Imperial City either, indicating that Xu Qi’an hadn’t gone there to leave a message either.

She was wooden for a moment and spoke softly:

“The palace is tired.”

The two courtesans wisely exited the bedroom and went to the outer room.

They could see that His Highness was not in a good mood, and they could not help but hide under the covers and secretly wipe their tears later on.

Although the palace maids knew Lin An very well, they still underestimated Lin An’s backbone, she didn’t hide under the quilt to wipe her tears because they were still stored in her eyes and didn’t flow down.

She was covered in a loose quilt and curled up on her side.

Framed until now has not thought to understand, the hall of the State Master, even the father can not get the woman, but blind will look at her dog slave.

When I thought of Luo Yu Heng’s flaunting and aggressive stance that night, I was so angry in my heart that I could not wait to tear that old woman apart with my hands.

But only in my mind.

If the love rival was Luo Yu Heng, Lin An didn’t have any confidence, even though she was a princess and conceited of her beauty. But Luo Yu Heng could crush her just by being the head of a human sect dao.

She couldn’t help but think of the bits and pieces of the past, of the times when Xu Qi’an had chatted and played chess with her, and the tears in her eyes finally rolled down.

Framed felt out of love, though she didn’t know the word.

More tears rolled down her face as she lay on her side, half her face buried in the fluffy pillow.

“You can’t cry before you go to bed or your eyes will get inflamed.”

At that moment, on the inside of the bed, someone handed a hand towel.

Framed with an “oh”, she took the hand towel and wiped her tears, then her body stiffened, sensing something was wrong, and she bounced off the bed, letting out an ear-piercing scream.

While screaming, she got a good look at the person on the inside of the bed, wearing a green colored robe and a jade crown on his head, dressed as a rich son.

It’s her lackey.

“Bang Bang!”

There was a knock on the door, and two palace maids tapped on the door outside, calling out:

“Your Highness, Your Highness?”

Lin An glared fiercely at Xu Qi An, pulled up the quilt to cover him, and whispered:

“Keep quiet …….”

Huffing and clearing his throat to sound normal, he said, “Come in.”

That scream was too frightening to be dismissed with an “I’m fine”, as the courtesan wondered if her master was under duress in there.

They are highly trained courtesans and hard to fool.

The door of the bedroom was pushed open, a courtesan with a frightened face came in, another courtesan stayed outside, very cautious not to come in, convenient to run out of the house at any time to call for help.

The courtesan who came in looked left and right for a while, then looked at the bed and inquired:

“Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Lin An faintly said, “Fang had a nightmare, it’s no longer a problem.”

The courtesan stared at her reddened eyes for a few moments, suddenly dawning on her and believing a few things, then examined the large bed.

Thankfully, since the treasury was empty, Emperor Yongxing had downsized the use of concubines and royal clansmen in the palace, and expensive animal gold charcoal was among them.

Charcoal fire can no longer be as demanding as before, so Linan cover things, from the light “silk” and “quilt”. It was replaced by a thicker “coverlet”.

The quilt, filled with wool and duck down, was thick and fluffy, perfectly hiding Xu Qi’an.

“Your Highness, isn’t it too hot? Your face is burning badly.”

The courtesan said with concern.

“The palace is fine.”

The more panicked Lin An was in his heart, the more indifferent he had to be on the surface.

“The princess is gasping for air, is it too stuffy.”

“It’s some, open some of the windows out.”

“Why don’t the slave girls just guard the house.” The palace maid said.

“No need, this palace is in a bad mood and wants to be alone.”

Upon hearing this, the courtesan didn’t insist, swept around the room and retreated.

When she had left and closed the door to her bedroom, Prosper lifted the covers as soon as she could and shoved her head, which was resting on her breasts, in shame, anger, surprise, and delight, and her willow eyebrows went up:

“Dog Slave ……..”

Just as two words popped out of his small mouth, they were muffled by Xu Qi’an, who raised an eyebrow in the direction of the room door and lowered his voice:

“The people haven’t left yet.”

Prosper twisted his head to look, and saw a shadow affixed to the side of the door that appeared to be eavesdropping on the movements of the house.

Xu Qi’an pulled the quilt up to cover the two of them and laughed in a very low voice:

“I didn’t see that your slave girl was quite resourceful.”

I didn’t realize that before.

“They’re all trained by the palace sisters, and the great palace maids around the ladies of the harem are even more alert.”

Prosper echoed, and then blushing, he said angrily:

“Dog slave, how dare you, you dare to get into this palace’s bed.

“You go you go, go get into Luo Yu Heng’s bed.”

Reach out with your little hands and shove.

Xu Qi’an took hold of her wrist and moved closer to her, closing the distance to the point where mutual spit could spray on her face:

“Your Highness, I have been traveling for many days and I no longer miss you at all times. Every day and every night I regret not having grown wings, or else I could have ridden the wind to meet Your Highness.”

During this period of time with the scummy Saint Son, Xu Qi’an had blended the means of coaxing girls and comprehended a core truth that she hadn’t figured out before.

To coax a girl, first put yourself in her shoes and then figure out what she wants to hear and what attitude she wants.

Can’t stand up for myself.

If you stand up for yourself and cajole, you lose.

For example, from Xu Qi’an’s point of view, the State Master had risked her karmic fire burning her body to help stop the Black Lotus in the first place. Now that her karmic fire had returned, she would die from the Heavenly Tribulation if she didn’t double-cultivate.

If he has any humanity at all, he should drop his pants for morality.

To explain it that way, Prosperity is blowing up right now.

And from her point of view, what does she want to hear? What attitude is wanted?

“Your Highness’s knitted brows and smile are deeply imprinted in my mind, leaving me haunted.” Xu Qi’an reached out and wrapped his arms around Lin An’s small waist, his eyes sincere, his tone sincere.

“But I know I have done wrong, and I am too sad at home today to come and face you. But I cannot go against my heart, the heart that admires your highness.”

Advent’s heart raced and her cheeks burned as she listened to the words of love in her ears.

A belly full of aggression evaporated, and the determination to be ruthless was sugar-coated.

She grunted and forced herself to be ruthless, pushing his arm around her waist and twisting her head away:

“Is it the same when Lord Xu coaxes other women?”

She attempted to put the man down with her cold demeanor.

Xu Qi’an sighed as he stared at her crystalline and small earlobes, resisting the urge to lick them:

“Alas, it seems that no matter what I say, Your Highness will not forgive me. I’m leaving the capital tomorrow, I have no other request but to ask Your Highness to promise me one thing.”

The first half of the sentence caused Lin An’s heart to sink, surging with anxiety, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he hastened to ask:

“What is it.”

Spinning around, feeling that his tone lacked backbone, he grunted, “This palace deals with it at its discretion.”

“I would like to ask the princess to accompany my humble servant and see the brightest lights in the world.”

Hearing this, Lin An froze for a long time, not understanding what he meant.

But the next moment, she saw the dog slave pull up the quilt and cover both of their heads.

Prosperity was then plunged into an infinite darkness. After an unknown amount of time, light appeared in front of her eyes and she heard the whistling wind in her ears.

The night was heavy, and the lone moon hung high.

She stood between heaven and earth, facing the cold wind, empty and lonely, yet free.

Linan looked around in surprise; she was standing on a floating turret, with the moon spilling its cool glow above her head, and at her feet ……….

Her eyes widened suddenly, her watery, feminine eyes reflecting a million lights.

Below was the entire capital city, the outer city mostly dark with the occasional sporadic light.

The brightest and most radiant is the palace, like a huge cluster of fireworks, the outer ring of fireworks is the imperial city, which is equally bright and bright, with ten thousand lights, arching over the palace.

The inner city, where the rich and prosperous people live, is like the outer flame of a fire, a cluster of stars.

Lin An had never seen the night view of the capital, and for a while he was actually mesmerized.

The most romantic thing she could think of was Xu Qi’an’s song, “A boat full of dreams pressing down on the river of stars”, and now, this man had shown her a different landscape.

“Don’t catch a cold.”

Xu Qi’an walked over, took off his robe and draped it over her, smoothly embracing the beauty in his arms.

Lin An looked like he was drunk, his eyes were winking, his face was red, and he was fluttering.

Xu Qi’an wasn’t surprised by such feedback, it was even expected. Lin An liked to rot, and it was almost hard to resist this kind of offense.

Later, return the turret to Sun Xuanji, this move is useless to Huaiqing ……… In the future, we should be better to the holy son, after all, we have also learned something from him ……… Xu Qi’an’s thoughts were scattered. Lin An s dreamy voice rang in his ears:

“Dog slave, would you propose marriage to the emperor’s brother.”

In Lin An’s opinion, the relationship between the two was established as early as in Xu Qi An’s passionate kiss when he left the capital.

This man is not an object of mutual emotion, but a lover.

“Will do.”

Xu Qi’an looked at her delicate googly-eyed face, “But not now.”

Whether it’s him or DaBong, there’s a huge challenge ahead.

If you win, you will sit in Lin’an right Huaiqing, the State Master will sit on his lap, and the Princess will hide behind him.

If you lose, go to a good reincarnation.

………..

It’s late at night.

The courtesan carefully pushed open the door and tiptoed into the bedroom to the bedside.

His Highness Lin An was wrapped in a coverlet, his sleeping face was solid, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had dreamed of something happy.

The palace maid was relieved and was about to leave when she suddenly blushed slightly and saw hickeys all over her highness’s snow-white neck.

This …….. The courtesan’s scalp instantly went numb and she looked around in horror.

After a while, she seemed to have figured something out, and her face suddenly turned soft.

…………

The same night in some small town.

Ji Xuan stood on the ridge of the roof, overlooking the exchange below.

That was Liu Hongmu teasing her opponent, a jianghu guest who had scattered the dragon qi boarding.

In these days, they had relied on the channels of the secret agents of the Heavenly Qi Palace to find several Dragon Qi Hosts.

There were travelers, literate scholars, and even government officials, and women who were on duty.

Ji Xuan’s plan was to collect as many scattered dragon qi as possible, accumulating as many as possible, as a way to attract the hosts of the nine dragon qi.

Of course, there was also the possibility that this would attract Xu Qi’an.

“Red Cotton Tree, don’t waste time.” Ji Xuan reminded.

Liu Hongmu instantly knocked out her opponent.

Ji Xuan pulled out the small palm-sized bronze tripod from his pocket and recited under his breath, the mouth of the tripod shot out clear light and took that Dragon Qi Host into it.

The small bronze tripod was called the Four Square Tripod, one of the gifts that the State Master had sent to Yongzhou City after he had learned of what had happened there.

It was different from unusual storage artifacts in that the latter could only hold objects, while it could receive people.

Ji Xuan put the small tripod away, looked to the northwest, and muttered, “Xu Qi’an!”

………..

The next day!

Ling Bao Guan in the capital.

Within the quiet room, Luo Yu Heng, who had been sleeping for a day and two nights, slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

………..
