Chapter Fifty-two Midnight Warning
Pink tickets can be used as monthly tickets. Since Xiao Lianzi has not been put on the shelves yet, there is no voting window. Thank you everyone for keeping Xiao Lianzi.
"It's Mr. Nangong!" Qing'er reminded me, and I hastily got up: "Quickly, quickly, give me my clothes." Qing'er swiftly put a clean shirt on me, and I started to panic, afraid of what Nangong Qiuyue might do. My reaction seemed like I was caught slacking off by the boss.
You're confused, you're confused! In this Imperial City, I am the master!
Thinking of this, I became less anxious and leisurely conversed with Nangong Qiuxue through the door: "Qiuxue, what brings you to find me so late?"
"Qiu Yue thought to ask the madam what plans she had next." Outside the door was Nan Gong Qiu Yue's gentle voice, as usual, just like Long Huang when he listened.
I put on my clothes, Qing'er was about to open the door, I immediately pulled her back and motioned for her to be quiet, she understood and stood aside.
"This matter will be discussed again tomorrow, both madam and Xiaojiao are tired."
"Alright then, Qiu Yue will come again tomorrow."
Looking at the door that no longer had any human figure, I proudly raised my eyebrows. Nangong Qiuyue, you have your Zhang Liang strategy, and I have my ladder to cross the bridge. I don't believe I can't control you!
"Madam." Qing'er blinked her eyes, seemingly puzzled. "Nan Gong is a gentle and considerate person, he also helps Madam with her worries, why doesn't Madam like him?"
I spat out the candied jujube that almost choked me to death, picked up a piece of sugar cake and lay down on the couch in the room: "He's too fake."
"What's that?" Qing'er thought for a long time and then shook her head. "Qing'er doesn't understand, I'll just go pour out the bath water."
"Alright, you can go rest too after finishing."
"Thank you, madam."
After Qing'er left, I sat with my legs crossed, holding a rice cake and lost in thought.
If Feng Qingya didn't know Nan Gong Qiuyue's true identity, then what was her purpose by his side? It's clear that although she is a member of the Wind family's shadow clan, she isn't completely loyal to them. Who would have thought that the person he originally trusted the most had become the most dangerous one?
And what's going on with him and Xuan Yuan Yi Fei? The relationships between the men here are always so complicated.
Lisong, who doesn't like to socialize with people, is good friends with Yuanchen. Xuan Yuan Yifei, who has a cold face, somehow got involved with Nangong Qiuyue.
The simplest man is now Hou Xian.
Next, I have to settle the case in Qingzhou and rescue Chunyu from prison. Headache, it's really a headache.
A sudden chill appeared between my eyebrows, and I slowly opened my eyes to see Nan Gong Qiuyue's gentle face before me. His brows were smiling: "When I'm worried, someone does this to me, it works very well." He pressed his index finger on the center of my brow, again and again, until my frown relaxed.
"Do you want me to report back before I can sleep?" I sneered. Nangong Qiuxue sat down beside me, facing outward without looking at me, saying: "I don't dare, you are the mistress, Qiuxue should report to you."
"Be polite." I rolled my eyes, "Your task will be arranged by Xiaojiao tomorrow."
"What about you?" He leaned in, his gentle face tempting me to let my guard down. I turned away, lazily saying: "Go flirt with Xuan Yuan Yifei and try to get some more time."
"Do you know Xuan Yuan Yi Fei?" Nan Gong Qiu Yue's voice was laced with a chill, "Don't think that just because he gave you the Great Eastern Pearl and the Jade Treasure Vase, it means he's pampering you. In fact, he's testing you."
"Probing?" I turned to look at Nan Gong Qiuyue, his face was gloomy at this moment, but the corners of his mouth were curled up in a smile, that smile was exceptionally sinister and arrogant.
"The Xuan Yuan family has a total of eleven princes, but now, only Xuan Yuan Yi Fei sits on the throne. Do you think he would be such a kind person?"
Take a breath of cool air, the cool air is like frost, making me feel cold from the inside out.
Nangong Qiuyue's eyes flashed a conquering cold light, and then his expression returned to warmth, saying to me: "Your sudden change in temperament has attracted everyone's attention.
Xuanyuan Yifei, Feng Xueyin, and all the men here, seem to be unchanged on the surface, but in fact they have all started to pay attention to you. Hmm, this is interesting, previously Feng Qingya was ignored by everyone, now she's being watched closely, even that Feng Qingya who only treated you as a useful tool, Xuanming Yu, also secretly observes you every time you enter the palace.
I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body. How could the feeling of being in the spotlight be so ominous? It felt like I was going to be torn apart.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can touch you." Nangong Qiuyue patted my shoulder, and I lowered my head, ignoring him. He came to me in the middle of the night just to remind me that if I leave him, I'll fall into danger.
Relying on him, I won't be a little chick under Nangong Qiuxue's wing. I want to be the phoenix that tramples his head, and it's still a fire phoenix!
The next day, I entered the palace early. I didn't care if Xuan Yuan Yi Fei was a cold-blooded monster or an evil demon, as long as he treated me well on the surface, I would continue to play and be coquettish with him. As for other purposes behind his back, let Feng Qing Ya and Nan Gong Qiu Yue bother with it.
There's a saying "narrow road to meet enemies", right at the palace gate, I ran into Jia Mingkai. As a middle-aged uncle, he was elegant and refined, just like Zheng Shaoqiu. He was chatting with some officials, and I deliberately flashed in front of his eyes. Sure enough, Jia Mingkai stopped me: "Isn't this Qingya! You've come back from Qingzhou so soon! Do you have any news?"
"Yes, I heard that the lady has taken over the Qingzhou grain loss case. Now entering the palace, isn't it because there's been a result?" The officials gathered around, but who knows if they were genuinely concerned or just taking the opportunity to mock her.
I stopped in my tracks, by the palace gate peach blossoms and green willows, warm breeze gently blowing.
He smiled proudly and confidently: "How could I possibly fail to crack the case?"
"Is this the result?" The officials looked at each other curiously, and Jia Mingkai also said with a proud expression: "As expected of Qingya, it only took four days to investigate the result. Who is the culprit after all?"
"That group of mountain bandits, I even found the place where they hid their rice." I said with pride, Jia Mingkai listened and laughed: "It's really them, I knew it was them."
"Right, right, right." The officials all chimed in agreement.
I hastily said: "I have to report to His Majesty, excuse me, excuse me."
"Good, elegant and extraordinary achievement." Jia Mingkai said behind me, then I heard the officials' voices of approval.
The wind has been released, now it's just a matter of waiting for the fox to show its tail. This is a process that requires patience, and I'm afraid Xuan Yuan Yifei won't give me too much time either. It seems like I need to think of another way to get the other party to reveal their tail quickly.
