Chapter 131
Just as Nalan Jingwen left, a slender figure appeared before her, smiling brightly, standing in the sunlight, her whole being radiant.
She stopped and looked at him.
"How did you come?"
Nalan Yin naturally hugged her waist, inhaling her scent like a puppy.
"I heard you were injured, so I came to see you."
Nalan Jingwen pulled him out of his arms and said calmly, "My injuries have healed. You're too late."
Since Nalan Yin ostensibly set off for Sushui to marry a foreign ruler, she has moved out of the palace and now resides in the Red Love Pavilion.
Nalan Yin was pulled out by her, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she hugged her arm.
“I’ve been here before, but your husband has been watching over you, so I couldn’t show up openly.”
"I originally wanted to wait until your husband was resting before I came to see you, but he even stayed up all night watching over you, as if he was afraid that someone would harm you. Then Pei Yunche came, and you have such a skilled guard by your side. I couldn't find an opportunity to get close to you, so I could only come to see you at this time."
As he spoke, he glanced back, his eyes darkening slightly.
"Did you have a fight with your guard?"
Nalan Jingwen did not answer his question, but changed the subject, saying, "You appeared so openly today, aren't you afraid of being seen?"
He smiled and leaned closer to her, resting his head on her shoulder. Whenever Nalan Jingwen turned her head, she could see his high nose bridge and his skin that was so white it was almost sickly.
"With you here, you'll protect me, right?"
Nalan Jing remained silent, then suddenly remembered something and stopped, saying, "I have a question for you."
Nalan Yin also stopped and said, "I know what you want to ask, it's about your guard, isn't it?"
Although it was a question, his tone was extremely certain.
"You want to know the identity and background of your guard?"
"you know?"
"There's nothing I don't know about these four countries."
Just as Nalan Jingwen was about to say something, he heard him say, "I know, but I don't want to tell you."
Nalan Jingwen frowned. "I can buy this information with money."
Nalan Yin shook her head, "I don't lack money now."
Hongqing Pavilion is making a fortune every day, and its business is booming. He was right when he said that.
"Then what do you want?"
Nalan Yin looked at her, her smile undiminished.
"Don't you know what I want?"
"I told you, as long as you're with me, I'll give you whatever you want. The Red Passion Pavilion is yours too. You won't have to spend a single penny to get the information you want."
Nalan Jingwen stared at him with deep eyes, and Nalan Yin generously let her look at him without flinching. His eyes were clear and pure, and one could see right through them.
The two stared at each other for a long time before Nalan Jingwen lifted his foot and continued walking forward.
"No need, I will investigate myself."
Nalan Yin's eyes darkened, but she still followed her.
"Don't rush to reject me, I can change the terms."
Nalan Jingwen stopped again. "What are the conditions?"
Nalan Yin wrapped her arms around her neck, her breath sweet as orchids. The two were so close that it seemed they were about to kiss.
Nalan Jingwen instinctively wanted to push the person away, but then, remembering something, he ultimately didn't.
Nalan Yin was very pleased with Nalan Jingwen's actions, and the smile on her lips grew even wider.
"I want you……"
"Sleep with me."
"Getting a piece of information in exchange for a good night's sleep, isn't that a good deal?"
Nalan Jingwen's face instantly darkened. He shoved the man away and staggered backward. He barely managed to regain his balance, but his face became even paler.
He looked up at her, his expression pitiful, and his pale face made it even more heartbreaking.
"You hurt me."
Nalan Jingwen was slightly taken aback. Remembering the injury on his back, he took a deep breath, but ultimately said nothing more and left.
Nalan Yin's pitiful expression vanished, replaced by a stern face as she watched Nalan Yin's retreating figure. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without her even noticing.
"I will definitely get you!"
A black figure suddenly appeared in the open space.
"master."
Nalan Yin didn't look at her, but kept staring at the red shadow until it disappeared before she looked away.
"Let's go back."
"Yes."
……
After handling some official business, Nalan Jingwen returned to his courtyard and heard Pei Yunche's voice and Cheng He's anxious voice.
"Where is Nalan Jing and Wenren?! I need to see her!"
"Young Master Pei, His Highness is busy and it's probably inconvenient for him to come see you now. He will come to see you when he's done."
"What's she busy with? Is she in bed with her husband, leaving me all alone here?!"
Cheng He was extremely anxious when she saw Pei Yunche acting so unreasonably for the first time. She had just returned from outside when she heard from the servants that the prince had woken up and gone to the prince's husband's courtyard. Unexpectedly, Young Master Pei was still in the prince's courtyard. As soon as he saw her, he said he wanted to see the prince.
If she were to disturb something important while the prince and his consort were together, she wouldn't have enough heads to chop off even if she had ten. She could only stall Young Master Pei here for now.
As soon as Nalan Jingwen entered, two pairs of eyes shot towards her: one filled with anger mixed with grievance, and the other as if she had seen a savior.
"Your Majesty!"
Nalan Jingwen waved his hand, "You can go now."
Cheng He was overjoyed at being granted a pardon and hurriedly went downstairs, but was stopped by Nalan Jingwen once again.
"Wait."
Cheng He asked with a pained expression, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Is everything ready?"
Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, Cheng He immediately said solemnly, "Everything is ready, Your Highness, please rest assured."
Nalan Jingwen nodded and continued, "Tomorrow, the King will return to the Rong residence with the King's consort. Please check what needs to be prepared and do not neglect it."
"Yes, this old servant will go and prepare immediately."
After Cheng He left, Nalan Jingwen turned his gaze to Pei Yunche.
Pei Yunche looked at her with a wronged expression and reached out his hand to her.
Nalan Jing sighed helplessly when he saw his appearance and walked over.
Pei Yunche hugged her waist, rubbed his face against her lower abdomen, and said aggrievedly, "I thought you had forgotten me."
Nalan Jingwen stroked his head, "How could that be? Didn't I say I would come back as soon as you woke up?"
Pei Yunche snorted and whispered, "You like Rong Hengyu so much, who knows if you'll forget about me while you're with him..."
Nalan Jingwen chuckled, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at the dark circles under his eyes that had not completely faded, and kissed the corner of his eye.
"Hengyu said you guarded me all night, and you just ran away like that? Won't General Pei scold you?"
Pei Yunche raised his chin, touched his lips with his finger, and gestured with his eyes.
Nalan Jingwen sighed helplessly and gave him a light kiss on the lips. Pei Yunche then leaned against her, finding a comfortable position, and played with her fingers.
“My mother has been staying at the military camp for the past few days and hasn’t come back. She asked my sister to watch over me, but I pretended to cry a few times and then she let me out. Besides, I came here to see you, it’s not a dangerous place, so why can’t I come?”
