Chapter 321: Being bumped into? I miss you so much
"Who is it?"
Ji Qingwu walked along the carved red sandalwood walls to the door and asked in a low voice.
There was only the whistling of the wind outside, and no one answered.
She held her breath and concentrated, putting her ear close to the door panel to distinguish the noise.
The person at the door noticed her caution and said, "I am a long-time worker in the backyard. The scroll vat in the master's room has cracks. Some of the books have become damp and need to be taken out to dry."
The voice sounded like that of a young man, but his throat was scratchy and hoarse when he spoke.
Want to pick up the scroll in the scroll jar?
Ji Qingwu remembered that he had just seen it in the house. There was a scroll vat with a pattern of Toad Palace winning laurels, and there was indeed an obvious crack on the right side.
A ray of light flashed across her eyes, she took a deep breath and opened the door.
She held her wrist on the edge of the door. When the man showed his head, the silver-white powder hidden under his wide sleeves flew out.
Come here late at night to pick up scrolls and hang them out? Sunbathing in the moonlight?
This statement is full of errors and omissions, and it sounds like a lie upon hearing it.
While the medicinal powder was still shining under the lights in the room, Ji Qingwu raised his eyes and looked at the person who came in.
At a glance, the man was tall but average-looking.
At this time, a strange strong wind suddenly came, blowing all the powder out of the door, perfectly avoiding the man, and the powder did not get on the man's body at all.
The wind continued for a long time, causing her white sleeves and skirt to sway, but the man's gray cloth did not move at all.
Seeing that the medicinal powder had no effect, Ji Qingwu wanted to run inside, and opened his lips to ask Wei Tongyou to come out to help, but he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his big hands.
Being held hostage, Ji Qingwu's eyes darted back and forth. How could his disguise technique be discovered so quickly?
He kicked the door with his long legs and closed it easily.
Ji Qingwu calmly thought about how to deal with it.
Seeing that she was quiet and not struggling, he let go of her hand.
The man's eyes were glued to her face. After lingering for a long time, he whispered in her ear: "Miss Hanzhang, you and I have not seen each other for a few days, and we are already so strange."
Ji Qingwu's eyes were shocked. Could this man be Hanzhang's lover?
Along the way, I didn't meet anyone else, but after entering the house, I met the person who knew this maid the most.
The sounds of people cleaning their hands in the room are getting quieter, and Wei Tongyou should be coming out soon. Can the two of them work together to restrain this long-term worker who does rough work?
But this man has a strong body and doesn’t look like he can be easily defeated
Ji Qingwu made up his mind to stabilize the person in front of him and not expose himself first.
The man got closer to her and pressed her passionately against the wooden shelf that separated the flower hall from the main room.
"Don't you even miss me?"
The close distance made Ji Qingwu wary, and she turned her head, unwilling to look at him.
His voice was deliberately lowered and he said: "I miss you very much."
Soon, Ji Qingwu's beautiful eyebrows twitched together, not because the intimacy and ambiguity in his words made her uncomfortable.
Instead, she suddenly felt that this person had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Ji Qingwu raised his chin and sniffed a few times, his eyebrows spreading and then tightening.
There was no familiar smell on him, only the damp smell of wood chips, as if he had been working outside for a long time.
It’s not the unattainable scent of ambergris.
Ji Qingwu pursed his lips, feeling annoyed that he had thought of him at such a critical moment.
Zhao Mingyan saw her nose twitching, sniffing his scent, and her eyes were full of smiles.
He deliberately concealed his aura today, and it was impossible to reveal his identity in such details.
But looking at her actions and trying to confirm his identity by identifying the smell showed that she had begun to doubt him.
Just from getting along with him for such a short time, I could vaguely guess his identity. It was not so much that I was very observant, but that I was already familiar enough with him.
Zhao Mingyan lowered his eyes, looking from the top of her head to her hands hanging by her side. Something shiny flashed past.
It’s also good to have a sense of caution.
Ji Qingwu found that the man in front of her was slightly distracted, and she nimbly got out of the gap under his arms that were supported on the wooden frame.
Then, she turned her back to him and raised her voice, trying to imitate the voice she heard Han Zhang talking in the kitchen.
"The master will be back soon. Go out quickly. What if someone bumps into you?"
Not only was his tone coquettish, Ji Qingwu also stamped his foot.
But she was trying to hide the movements of her hands.
She put her hands on her waist, and the needles on her fingertips shone like silver.
Zhao Mingyan stood behind her, the corners of his mouth raised, and his thick, rough eyebrows also curved softly.
He acted with her and said, "Master won't be back for a while, and is still holding funeral ceremonies at the Song family. It's rare for us to have time to meet. I just want to stay with you for a while longer."
His voice was still as hoarse as sand, but his tone was soft and affectionate.
Ji Qingwu didn't know why, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard it.
She said: "Let's see you tomorrow night, okay?"
"No." He refused simply.
Ji Qingwu also had two more silver needles on his fingertips. This trap was so difficult to deal with, so he had to use her method to deal with it first.
Then I heard the man say hesitantly: "Unless."
Ji Qingwu's ears perked up and he temporarily hid the silver needle back in his cuff.
Asked: "Unless what?"
"Unless you stay with me all night tomorrow night to relieve my lovesickness."
Ji Qingwu immediately said: "No problem!"
Anyway, she won't be at Su's house tomorrow night, so now she casually agrees to persuade this person to leave.
She turned around and said with a smile on her face: "We will meet again tomorrow night. You go back to your room and go to bed first. It's been a hard day after a busy day."
With that said, she walked to the door frame and motioned him to leave quickly with her eyes.
He urged again: "Why don't you leave?"
Zhao Mingyan looked at her calmly for a while and said: "Come here."
Ji Qingwu suddenly felt a chill on his back.
A person's appearance will change, his voice will change, but the tone of giving orders and the unquestionable aura of majesty will not change.
If it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have been able to recognize the identity of the person in front of her.
But she had heard these two words too many times.
In Qinzheng Hall, in Wutong Garden, in Zhaoyang Hall
Ji Qingwu walked slowly towards him, his scalp getting numb as he walked. This man was definitely the emperor.
She trusted her intuition, and as soon as she put her mind down, she picked it up again.
Emperor Wu Su appeared at Su's house in the middle of the night and even disguised himself. Why did he come?
At this time, the sound of the bamboo curtain opening attracted their attention.
Wei Tongyou rubbed her hands and came out of the inner room. Through the hollow wooden board, she saw an additional man in the flower hall and was stunned for a moment.
Ji Qingwu's eyes met hers, he raised his left eyebrow at her, and then gently shook his head, asking her not to act rashly.
Wei Tongyou didn't know whether he understood or not, so he nodded solemnly.
With a third person present, Ji Qingwu could not reveal the identity of Emperor Wu Su
