novelHis Warning
| ← Ch.061 | Ch.063 → |
Yun Shimo tightly pulled a long face. His once coldly arrogant facial expression had already been replaced by outraged emotion and there was a sense of anxiety glided over his eyes.
"Is he worrying about himself?"
Hua Qiyue thought with a little surprise but she still kept her countenance, "Your Highness, actually I really don't want your highness to care about my business."
Yun Shimo stared at Hua Qiyue fixedly and he was really beaten by this woman. Indeed, he didn't want to meddle in her business and intends to turn a blind eye to her, but why did he always send secret guards to inquire about her news?
Perhaps, he was attracted by her unusual personality, or just interested in the person that supported her behind.
After all, that person was definitely unusual because it was the one who had Long Red seeds and could rapidly grow a batch of Long Red. Right, it was because he wanted to know that mystery person that he pretended to care about Hua Qiyue like this!
Yun Shimo admitted that he was a man with selfish motives and it is human nature. Then, he gently sighed and stretched out his hand and took away the teacup in Hua Qiyue's hand.
"Given ten lives, you will not get away with it if you really offend the Empress. So, just listen to me." Yun Shimo said.
Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows and pouted, in the sight of tender Yun Shimo who had suddenly toned down.
"I just don't want to listen to you!"
As soon as Hua Qiyue said this, her hand that held the teacup was immediately squeezed by another hand, and a sense of tenderness was conveyed to her body through the skin. Hua Qiyue raised her head and looked at that pair of deep eyes in a daze.
Her intonation just now really sounded like coquetry, which made Yun Shimo feel a sudden impulse and he should have squeezed her hand!
Suddenly, Hua Qiyue only felt giddy with an exotic fragrance attacking her. And the man standing in front of her said with a layer of tenderness in his eyes, "You're tired. Have a good rest!"
After saying that, Yun Shimo took away the teacup in her hand and lifted her up, heading to the room in the inner hall. The room, in which nobody hasn't lived though, was equipped with things like the quilt and other things.
Yun Shimo put Hua Qiyue down on the bed. After she drowsily fell asleep, he watched her quietly, and after a long while he said gently, "Bingyi, go to find the clues that the Empress investigated... and一ruined them all."
Bingyi answered, and then flew away.
Two hours later, Lv Xin and Youshui finally couldn't help but enter the room and they both cried out surprisingly when they saw Yun Shimo sitting on the bedside of their master.
For them, body contact between men and women was not proper, not to mention staying in the same room alone.
However, their master and Prince Nan should have stayed with each other for totally two hours! Although they were still cleanly and tidily dressed and their hair was not disheveled, Lv Xin and Youshui were just afraid that if anyone else knew this, then...
"Miss..."Lv Xin cried out involuntarily. Hearing the sound, Hua Qiyue slowly opened her eyes.
She looked around curiously and she was even more surprised when she saw Yun Shimo calmly, as usual, sitting on her bedside.
"He should have stayed here and companied with me?" she thought.
Why did she suddenly faint? Was it because she smelt the alluring fragrance released by Yun Shimo?
Then what was his purpose of everything he's done? As soon as Hua Qiyue woke up, Yun Shimo stood up and he also backed off for several steps. And then Lv Xin and Youshui rushed towards to Hua Qiyue and helped her up, "Are you okay, miss?"
Hua Qiyue shook her head, "I'm fine. I was just tired and maybe was frightened by Princess Huiling."
The two maidservants were relieved to hear Hua Qiyue's words. But Yun Shimo twitched his mouth and he thought, "This woman should lie without any blush and nervous expression. It was her scheme that lured Princess Huiling to rush here, but now she said that she was frightened?"
But Yun Shimo lightly said to Lv Xin and others, "Take good care of your master and keep her out of any trouble."
After saying that, Yun Shimo turned around and left, this time, he really left. Looking at the gate, there was nobody and nothing, Hua Qiyue felt a sense of surprise arose from her heart.
"Why did Yun Shimo make me fall asleep for a while?
"What was his purpose?"
"Miss, are you okay? Miss, " Lv Xin cried in a soft voice with a lovely blush rising from her cheek, "I'm afraid it'll produce a bad influence if the fact that Prince Nan and you stayed in the same room is known by others..."
Hua Qiyue would no longer care about this for she had already experienced the recurrence from death for once. She got out of bed and decided to go back to her own mansion, "Then, don't tell anyone else, anyway, I'm not interested in Prince Nan."
"Yes, Miss, we'll keep it secret."
The Prince Nan, who was eavesdropping at the outside corner, subconsciously pouted his mouth and a disappointed feeling spontaneously rose up from his heart. He smiled softly, "When did I become immoral like this to start to eavesdrop?"
Prince Nan jumped away just like a swallow promptly disappearing in the sky.
But since then, Hua Qiyue evidently sensed that she seemed to be spied by many people. Once she went out of her mansion, the sense became even more evident. She knew that these people must come from two different parties, one was the Empress's, and the other... was Yun Shimo's?
"Why would he meddle in my business?" Hua Qiyue had never figured it out. She once thought that perhaps, Prince Nan had a crush on her. But a cold man like him actually would not fall in love with a woman so easily.
But one day in the future, the truth would come public, so, she took her time about it. Anyway, the situation still remained peaceful, of course, it was just the tranquility before the storm. Whenever she had time, Hua Qiyue would go to Tianpi's and cultivated herself.
It was a sunny and sultry day, and there were still many guests in Dong Hai Restaurant, how busy it was! The nearby willow, planted by Hua Qiyue herself, was listlessly fluttering wickers in the hot wind.
Undoubtedly, it was really sultry in the restaurant so that Zhou Zhicheng had to go out and get some fresh air. He saw a beautiful figure riding a carriage to him. It was a girl roughly in her twenty who was buxom and had an attractive face just like the one in the picture, especially her two extremely bright eyes.
The girl halted her carriage. Manager Wu also went out of the restaurant and said, "Miss Wang, welcome again."
"Right, Manager Wu, could you and your fellows please help me move the watermelons to the restaurant?" The girl jumped out of the carriage with a sorry smile and wiped away the shining sweat on her forehead with her handkerchief embroidered with the picture of two mandarin ducks playing in the water, which stood for an affectionate couple in China.
Zhou Zhicheng only felt obsessed with this girl. Compared with Princess Huizhen who was in a high position and thought herself very noble, girls like this were the most attractive because they were so real and even prettier.
The manager and his fellows moved all the watermelons out of the carriage. This girl turned out to be the delivery girl who transported fruits to Dong Hai Restaurant and she was called "Lady Fruit" by people. And it was said that she was actually born and raised in a rich merchant family.
But unexpectedly, the merchant, which was the girl's father, was addicted to gambling and squandered all his money. After that, the girl's fiance withdrew from the engagement. Therefore, the girl had to live by delivering fruits on her own.
Her old parents quarreled with each other every day at home. So, she also would like to avoid their disgusting noise by going to work.
Zhou Zhicheng couldn't help having several glances at Miss Wang. Miss Wang's buxom and curvaceous figure had attracted numerous men's eyes.
"Are you Manager Zhou?" The girl gently smiled to Zhou Zhicheng and asked him when others had finished unloading all the watermelons.
Zhou Zhicheng smiled and nodded at once, "Yes, I am. You're so impressive, Miss Wang. Generally, girls are reluctant to do this kind of job."
Hearing this, Miss Wang became a little shy, "I have to make money on my own because there is no other breadwinner in my family. After all, life will be easier if we have something to rely on."
Zhou Zhicheng spontaneously smiled more happily, "How about come in for a rest?"
"No, but thank you, Manager Zhou. I have to deliver fruits to somewhere else."
Miss Wang said and grinned, only to see her seashell-liked white teeth that made her smiling face beautiful.
Zhou Zhicheng was fascinated by a fragrant wind coming from her and gawked at her carriage leaving away as if he was wandering in a wonderland.
And Princess Huizhen happened to see this. Nobody now could see her face and recognize her because she was in a veil and dressed like a general maidservant.
Princess Huizhen coldly watched the carriage leaving away and she pinched off her nail wrap with a "clack" at the thought of Zhou Zhicheng's fascinated face.
Her face became fierce, and Nanny Zhou as well as the guards behind her all knelt with a flop and said, "Your Highness, please cease your anger! Your Highness, there are too many spies in the capital, so let's go back to Mansion of Bishui!"
Mansion of Bishui, the residence that the Empress arranged for her secretly, was located in a remote mountain.
It was a place of extreme scenic beauty. But there was nothing these servants could do about Princess Huizhen because she made them follow her to the capital by threatening them with her own life.
"Your Highness, but at present... at present, we cannot act rashly. Why not go back to Mansion of Biyu and make another plan? If the Empress knows everything, she'll condemn us felony!" Nanny Zhou said frightenedly, and after all, they had received orders from the empress that they should take good care of the princess. And the Empress also commanded that the princess no longer come back to the capital.
But unexpectedly, the princess should have coerced them to follow her to the capital by her own life. So, Nanny Zhou couldn't do anything about it.
Now, everyone was frightened since the princess was about to make trouble.
"Get out! Who is your master? I can stay here as long as I want! Whoever remains here will be killed!"
Princess Huizhen was in a really bad mood and shouted coldly, "Ask Zhou Zhicheng to come in!"
The servants looked at each other frightenedly and left grudgingly. This was the fourth floor of the restaurant and was also the living place of the Zhou's. So, for Princess Huizhen, this was a quite safe place because generally, guests wouldn't go upstairs here.
After a while, Zhou Zhicheng opened the door and came in beamed with delight. He saw the princess leaning on the window and was surprised inwardly, "Your Highness, please don't show up in public because now, you're..."
"Because I'm a criminal, I'm a dead woman, aren't I?" Princess Huizhen suddenly turned her head and stared at Zhou Zhicheng with her cold eyes.
Zhou Zhicheng only felt sweaty on his forehead and shook his head, "No... it's not like that! Don't be angry, Your Highness. It would be better if you stay cautious during the special time!"
Zhou Zhicheng was very respectful without any affection and tenderness that he used to have had. Seeing him behaving like this, Princess Huizhen became very furious, stepped forth and looked at him coldly, "What did you say to that woman just now?"
"What?" Zhou Zhicheng raised his head surprisingly. He had no idea that Princess Huizhen really cared about what happened just now.
"That fruit-delivering woman!"
"Oh, you mean Miss Wang? Nothing, we were just greeting as usual!" Zhou Zhicheng laughed."After all, she was my old love. But it would be troublesome if anyone else finds Princess Huizhen because she was a criminal."
"Zhen'er, keep your voice down! Don't let anyone else hear what you said!"
"Even you start to get tired of me because I'm a dead woman?" Princess Huizhen screamed out. Zhou Zhicheng raised his head frightenedly and looked at her in shock.
