Chapter 143 Guanri Pavilion
"How did you suddenly fall asleep?"
The next morning, Fang Duobing rubbed his aching head as he came out of the side room and saw Li Lianhua also coming out of the side room next door.
"Forget loyalty for the sake of beauty."
"Hey Fang Xiaobao, what are you doing so early in the morning? Why are you making such a racket?"
Early in the morning, Li Lianhua couldn't understand Fang Duobing's thought process.
"With such a beautiful woman by your side, you actually forgot about our important appointment to admire the moon. Isn't that just a case of being blinded by lust and forgetting your principles?"
"Oh?! A man and a woman alone in a room? Don't worry, I'll talk to Wu You about this."
Fang Duobing was furious, but his expression quickly turned into one of watching the drama unfold.
"I was planning to lie down for a while before coming to find you, but I ended up falling asleep. Last night, I slept in the outer hall, while Miss Xifei slept in the bedroom. Are you overthinking this?"
"Also, don't make up things that aren't true. I'm completely innocent, okay? I don't know if it was the alcohol or the tranquilizer last night, but I didn't wake up until late at night."
"Don't worry, I will tell you the truth, I'm just stating the facts."
I spent the whole night in the cold wind by myself yesterday, so I can't let it go to waste.
Seeing that Fang Duobing was still angry, Li Lianhua changed the subject and waved to him.
"Did you secretly go to visit the women's house last night?"
"I waited for you all night, but you didn't come."
Fang's words, though ill, contained a hint of accusation.
Li Lianhua understood; otherwise, there wouldn't be such a strong sense of resentment so early in the morning.
"But did you know that Yu Louchun is no good person? The girls here aren't hired?"
"They were kidnapped."
You noticed?
Fang Duobing was somewhat surprised. Qing'er had told him all of this. How could Li Lianhua know? Did Xifei also tell Li Lianhua?
"Think about it, no one has known where the woman is all these years. If she were hired, she could come and go as she pleased, and the secret would have been leaked long ago."
“That’s true.” Fang Duobing nodded in agreement.
"This Yu Louchun built her residence on the top of Kan Yun Peak and doesn't allow outsiders to enter or leave. She must be afraid that someone will come looking for revenge. I guess this icicle is also hidden there."
The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's meaning.
"So it's Young Master Fang. You two are heading to Guanri Pavilion. I prepared a cloak for Doctor Li. Young Master Fang, didn't Qing'er prepare a cloak for you?"
Consort Xi emerged from the side room behind Li Lianhua, carrying a cloak in her hand.
"Oh, she was sleeping so soundly this morning that I didn't wake her up."
Receiving Li Lianhua's look, Fang Duobing, though unsure why, swallowed his words and made up a lie.
I woke up and wanted to wake Qing'er, but she was already gone from her bedroom. She must have gone out early in the morning. What's wrong with that?
“Then I will prepare one for Young Master Fang. Guanri Pavilion is outside the women’s residence, next to the guard camp. It is inconvenient for us women to accompany you. Please do not catch a cold on the way.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Xifei. Let's go."
"Thank you for your trouble."
After meeting up with the other guests at the women's residence, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing, led by their guards, arrived at Guanri Pavilion.
"The red leaves of Fragrant Hills complement each other, making the scenery beautiful and even more evocative."
The scenery was indeed beautiful. The mist in the mountains had not yet dissipated in the early morning, giving it a hazy beauty. The sun, which had just peeked over the mountaintop, sprinkled a layer of gold dust on the red maple leaves. Shi Wenjue's poem was also very fitting for the occasion.
Beside them, glistening water droplets clung to the red leaves, sparkling in the sunlight.
