Chapter 42: He's Been Wronged!

  The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken; can she go?

  She gave him a glance, and Xia Chuyi slightly lowered her eyelids, softly declining, "Sorry, I have an urgent matter to attend to. Please inform the Grand Commander that I'll visit another time."

  "It is better to take advantage of an opportunity than to wait for a perfect moment."

  The soft, gentle voice that suddenly came from behind, like a feather lightly touching the tip of my heart, was so enchanting that it seemed to have come from none other than the great demon from the East.

  On the seventh day of summer, he saw a ghost and turned his head around, letting out a dry laugh.

  "Now that we've met, I wonder what the great commander wants with a little guy like me?"

  "Why not go to the East Wing and discuss it again?" Dongfang Qingxuan, dressed in a crimson robe that seemed like fire, stood five steps away, her eyebrows slightly raised, her lips curled up, and with a glance, she had an extra flavor, which made the beautiful maids who came out of the West Wing lose their luster.

  "Cough cough, just said, urgent inside."

  "Are you in a hurry to finish reading that book?"

  At the beginning of summer, on the seventh day, her throat was blocked, and she stared at several young maidservants who had been bewitched by him. It seemed that they didn't know that this demon would cut off people's heads and peel off their skin, and she couldn't help but sigh a few times. She could only rely on Zhao Zun's power again.

  "I also beg Your Excellency's pardon. Before the young master left, he instructed that Chu Qi... is not allowed to come into contact with other men, or he will be unhappy."

  She looked embarrassed and pretended to be very disgusted.

  But it was the Eastern Qingxuan who was amused, with only a hint of shallow coolness hidden in his eyes.

  "I see, so I have no choice but... to offend you."

  In the next instant, his tall and slender figure suddenly took a step forward, grasping her wrist.

  "Those who speak are gentlemen, those who act are petty men!"

  At the beginning of summer, with a burst of strength, she swung her hand and was about to kick him when suddenly a figure emerged from the slanting stab, his body as agile as a dragon emerging from the sea. His sword flashed out of its scabbard, casting a cold glow that enveloped Dongfang Qingyun entirely. Dongfang Qingyun waved his red robe, and the two figures entwined in combat, exchanging several blows without gaining the upper hand. But when she came to her senses again, the two had already parted ways, and she found herself in the hands of the black-clad man.

  Take another look, isn't it the person seen at Qinggang Boundary Marker that night?

  "The first guard of the Jin Wang Fu, the martial arts champion appointed by the Emperor himself, indeed lives up to his reputation." Dongfang Qingxuan smiled with great satisfaction.

  The man in black clothes sheathed his sword and clasped his fists, bowing his head and lowering his eyes. "Chen Jing pays respects to the Grand Commander, please do not make things difficult for me."

  "Chen Jing ah!"

  The eastern blue mysterious and gentle as water, a young maid lying drunk on the ground.

  "You say you have such great skills, why would you be worried about not having a bright future if you join the Brocade Guard? Why bother with this lowly and menial task of following around some young master all day?"

  "Chen Jing is a person under Your Highness's command, whatever Your Highness orders Chen Jing to do, Chen Jing will do it."

  Chen Jing replied with a calm and composed demeanor, showing a hint of elegance. Xia Chuyi secretly gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

  Eastern Blue Mystic let out a soft laugh, suddenly pulling something from his sleeve. "Alright alright, I quite appreciate your character, but I was just playing a joke on you, how could I dare take away the one the princess loves?"

  After finishing speaking, her enchanting eyes turned and gazed at Xia Chuqi.

  "It was just that I and Chu Xiao Lang had a predestined encounter, today I got a box of Jade Dew Peach Blossom Cream, specially came to give it to her as a gift, a small matter, didn't think it would cause such a big misunderstanding, when the master returns, I will definitely apologize properly."

  Rouge and powder?

  Is she making you sick?

  Xia Chuqi's mouth twitched slightly, "This young man doesn't like to use these things, and his face is ugly, with coarse skin, it's really a waste of heaven's gifts."

  Eastern Qingxuan's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, but what he said was secretly hidden with a sharp edge. "Chu Xiaolang doesn't need to be humble, I say it's useful if it's used. This imperial tribute of Jade Dew Peach Blossom Cream is an excellent product for nourishing the skin, I think it should be able to improve those pockmarks on your face."

  Her heart skipped a beat as Xia Chui looked at him with a glance.

  Those eyes, with a hint of smile, yet it doesn't reach the bottom of her eyes.

  "Very well, then Chu Qi thanked the Grand Commander." She lowered her head and pretended to be demure as she accepted it.

  I originally thought the Eastern demon would still have other entanglements, but unexpectedly he really took people and left.

  This little episode left Xia Chuyi somewhat perplexed, staring at the distant figure of the red-clad woman as she played with the small, exquisite box in her hand. She slightly narrowed her eyes and opened the lid. After sniffing it again, she didn't notice anything unusual and handed it over to Mei Zi, who was delighted.

  When she turned her head again after thanking him, she found that Chen Jing had disappeared without knowing when.

  Martial arts master? What an impressive skill.

  Zhao You actually arranged such a person by her side, is this considered close protection?

  Bullshit!

  At first glance, it's surveillance.

  She shook her head, looking at the little plum blossom and several small maidservants studying the box of imperial tribute Yu Lu peach flower cream in a corner, slightly pouting, and gazing up at the dark sky. The sky had been overcast for these few days, but the rain still hadn't come down.

  The next day.

  The sky seems darker, and the clouds are pressing down very low.

  Today is the fourth day since Zhao Zhuo left Qinggang, and it's also the day when Xia Chuyi and the tailor shop agreed to pick up things.

  After having breakfast early in the morning, she washed a few clothes for her family and the fool, hung them out to dry in the yard, asked Mei to remember to bring them in when it rained, then happily went out.

  Underwear! With them, she can live like a normal woman, and her heart is at ease.

  It's a good thing Zhao Zhu wasn't there, or else he would have really lost his temper if she tried it on. Wouldn't that be something, actually turning into Superman and wearing underwear outside?

  She thought of that scene and quickened her pace with a snort.

  People in this era were very faithful to their promises. By the time she arrived at the tailor's shop, several sets of underwear, including a few extremely private sanitary napkins, had already been sewn up. Moreover, the tailor had carefully embroidered a few small flowers on the edges, which she couldn't name but looked very delicate and made the ordinary white cotton fabric look much more elegant, making her very satisfied.

  "Thank you very much." She was very polite.

  Unexpectedly, the forty-year-old boss's wife grabbed her hand.

  "Little brother, whatever you do, don't do anything that goes against heaven and reason, and don't ruin a good family's daughter."

  “……”

  Does she have a deceitful look on her face?

  Even if he were a man who made women's underwear and sanitary napkins, wouldn't that be considerate? How could they look at her as a sex maniac and pervert?

  She carried the packaged goods, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She calmly walked out of the shop and planned to continue walking back to the station. Just as she reached the entrance of Buxiang Street, a silk store on the corner suddenly burst into flames, accompanied by shrill cries of "The water's gone, the water's gone!" The fire spread extremely quickly in the north wind, with flames crackling loudly.

  Is it on fire in broad daylight?

  Most of the buildings in this era were made of wood, and once a fire broke out, the streets would be damaged. As soon as the alarm sounded, the originally bustling street was suddenly crowded with frightened people rushing over, trampling and squeezing around her in a state of panic.

  Almost subconsciously, she felt a sense of vigilance and thought it was bad.

  There's something wrong with this fire.

  She clutched her bundle tightly, wanting to avoid the crowd, but it was already too late. Just as she thought of pulling back, a group of tall and sturdy men suddenly squeezed in from the crowd, surrounding her in the middle like a thick wall of people. Then, her waist was wrapped by someone, and her mouth and nose were covered.

  "Little rabbit, look at you running today."

  A sultry voice came from above, and Xia Chuiqi was as if struck by lightning.

  First set fire to attract attention, then use the crowd's congestion to isolate Chen Jing...

  Dongfang Qingxuan is too cunning, he had long been plotting to take her away, but it was not good to confront Zhao Zun directly, and he had been struggling to find an opportunity. He deliberately staged a show at the west courtyard gate, first to test who was planted beside her, and secondly to let her know about Chen Jing's existence, so that she would relax her vigilance.

  How awesome!

  What is she worth on the seventh of July? Is she worth the trouble that Dongfang Qingxuan has gone through?

  This was her last thought before she fell into darkness.

  Digression

  Thank you, dear [Ao Jiao Shi Jiu Ye] lady, San Ding Jia - Tan Hua Lang. Who knows who this girl is wearing a vest for? Curious...

  Thank you dear [Like Wind 2010] lady, San Ding Jia - Tan Hua Lang, muah muah, thank you dear.

  At the same time, thank you all for sending me flowers, diamonds and votes, hehe, no more words, I will work hard.

  I don't know if it's because of the start of school or what, but suddenly I feel like it's become a lot quieter. Does everyone else have this feeling?

  Everyone (rummaging through their pockets for sugar): Can we talk about something related to the plot?

  Er Jin (giggling): Guess what's going to happen next? Hmm...
