The queen cried the whole harem

Chen Dongyan put away his sword and took a look at the blood on the sword, feeling disgusted.

He sat down cross-legged, took a piece of cloth from his sleeve pocket, and sat there to wipe all the blood off the sword.

Then he stood up and looked up at the sky.

It's past midnight.

He slowly sheathed the sword, walked out of the dead end, and headed back towards Ji Mansion.

Ji Xianjiang didn't sleep. He moved around restlessly in the study.

Butler Lin was sent to the door to pay attention to the movement at the door at all times. Once Ye Di came back, he would immediately report it to Ji Xianjiang.

Butler Lin opened a small door and looked at the street from time to time.

It was late at night, the streets were quiet, dark and cold, not to mention people, not even a bird.

Butler Lin was worried, wondering if Ye Di could come back tonight. At this time, Butler Lin also knew what Ye Di was going to do that night, but Butler Lin didn't know that Ye Di was Chen Dongyan.

Butler Lin stood at the small door waiting with longing eyes. When he got up, he was very sleepy and his eyelids were trembling. He tightened his thick cloak, leaned against the small door and began to take a nap.

When he was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a voice. He was startled, and he was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes, and his drowsiness disappeared.

He looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. When he looked carefully, he turned out to be Ye Di!
Butler Lin was so happy that he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Ye Flute!"

Chen Dongyan nodded: "Yes." Then asked: "Are you waiting for me?"

Butler Lin said quickly: "Yes, yes, the master asked me to wait for you at the door. He said that when he saw you come back, he would take you to the study."

Added another sentence: "I went to the study after dinner. I haven't fallen asleep yet. I have been waiting for you."

It was normal for Ji Xianjiang not to sleep for such a big thing tonight. Chen Dongyan said: "I will go to the study to find him, so you don't have to go. I know the way to the study."

Butler Lin yawned, welcomed Chen Dongyan in, closed the small door, and said, "I still have to go to the study. I will go to bed when the master doesn't need me anymore."

Chen Dongyan did not comment, but took the first step towards the study room where Ji Xianjiang was.

Butler Lin followed.

The two of them went to the study room. Butler Lin knocked on the door. Ji Xianjiang immediately ran over to open the door. He originally wanted to ask if Ye Di was back, but when he looked up and saw Ye Di, he stopped asking.

Ji Xianjiang felt relieved, and waved to Butler Lin: "Now that Ye Di is back, you can go to bed."

Butler Lin said yes, resigned and left.

Ji Xianjiang quickly welcomed Ye Di into the study, and quickly closed the study door. He asked nervously: "Chen Duhou, are you not injured? How are the seven Jiang spies?"

Chen Dongyan rubbed the sword in his waist and said calmly: "I'm fine. I'm not injured. You don't have to worry. Those seven Jiang spies are dead. You go and deal with them. The bodies are cleaned up and the blood is cleaned up. Don't let them People who were traveling during the day saw it and were frightened and made them panic."

Ji Xianjiang said quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll find someone to deal with it right now."

After Chen Dongyan finished speaking, he told Ji Xianjiang the dead-end location where he killed seven spies, and then turned around and left, returning to his guest bedroom.

The moment he opened the door, he paused, his eyes narrowed, and the sword in his waist was slowly pushed out of its scabbard. The cold light of the weapon was refracted and imprinted on his ordinary face, which was cold and bloodthirsty.

He closed the door gently and walked to the bed step by step.

There was a person lying on the bed. He thought it was a thief, but unexpectedly, he saw Ji Yan in the cold light of the ice vessel.

Chen Dongyan withdrew his murderous aura, turned back to the table, untied the sword from his waist, and put the sword on the table.

He didn't light a lamp, so he sat down slowly in the darkness, found the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea was cold. It was brewed during the day. It was a little bitter and a little icey. He didn't even frown when he drank it. The cold water passed through his throat, but it had a different kind of comfortable taste.

After drinking two cups of cold tea, Chen Dongyan got up, went to the clean room to take a shower, washed away the bloody smell on his body, and changed into a set of dry underwear before returning to the bed.

His bed is not small, but it can't be said to be very big. He usually sleeps alone and can make a little space. Now that Ji Yan is lying here, it can accommodate one more person.

Chen Dongyan went to bed and put down the bed curtains.

He carried Ji Yan inside and lay down on the outside.

Only when he lay down did he realize that the position was still a little too small, and half of his arm was exposed outside the bed.

He glanced sideways at Ji Yan, wondering why she came to sleep with him tonight. It was so late, and he didn't want to disturb the people in Ji's mansion or find a place to sleep outside, so he could only sleep there first. Just slept with her.

Chen Dongyan crossed his arms across his chest and closed his eyes.

I feel wrong when I fall asleep.

He originally had his arms crossed, but now he turned sideways, with one arm around Ji Yan's shoulders and one around her waist. She was in his arms, sleeping very sweetly.

Chen Dongyan was in a daze. He felt like he was holding Ji Yan, but he didn't feel it. He was really sleepy and drank too much wine at night. Although he was not really drunk, he still drank a lot of wine. Plus, he His internal energy was consumed too much and he stayed up for too long. As soon as he lay down on the bed like this, he really didn't want to wake up. Maybe it was because Ji Yan was in his bed that he indulged himself and went to sleep peacefully.

In the end, he still didn't wake up, and fell asleep again holding Ji Yan like that.

Ji Yan couldn't breathe and woke up due to suffocation.

She opened her eyes and saw a white wall. She rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. It was clothes.

Her waist was held tightly by the man, and her entire face was pressed into his arms.

She was out of breath just now because her face was pressed by the man and her nostrils were also pressed.

Ji Yan gently took away Chen Dongyan's hand, put her hands on the bed, and looked at Chen Dongyan's face closely.

Chen Dongyan took off the human skin mask when he took a shower last night. At this time, his face was his original face.

Very cold and handsome.

Ji Yan raised her right hand and gently traced Chen Dongyan's eyebrows, from the peak of his eyebrows like a cold sword to the high bridge of his nose, and then down along the bridge of his nose, her fingertips landed on the beautiful shape of his lips together.

The man's breath was gentle and strong, and seemed to have a faint smell of alcohol. Ji Yan was a little obsessed, lowered her head and pecked Chen Dongyan's lips gently.

After pulling away, she wanted to kiss his forehead again, but found that the man suddenly woke up.

He looked at her without moving.

Ji Yan: "..."

Even though she had always been bold and informal, she was now blushing and shy.

She coughed, and the villain complained first: "When did you wake up? Don't you know how to say something when you wake up?"

Chen Dongyan looked at the delicate and shy face of the girl above, feeling a little touched in his heart. He stretched out his hand to pull Ji Yan aside and said, "Now that you're awake, you can go back."

Ji Yan didn't want to leave and stayed on his bed.

Chen Dongyan didn't force her. He sat up on his own, got out of bed, lit a candle, and poured himself a cup of herbal tea.

After drinking, he turned around and looked at Ji Yan: "When did you come last night?"

She was already there when he came back, and he really didn't know when she came to him.

Ji Yan pursed her lips and said, "I came over right after dinner." Chen Dongyan frowned: "Doesn't that mean everyone in the Ji Mansion knows that you were at my place last night?"

Ji Yan didn't care: "So what, we are an unmarried couple anyway."

Chen Dongyan put down the tea cup and sighed: "This is your second uncle's house, not your own place. If it were on the mountain, you could do whatever you want. Even if you sleep in my bed every night, I won't say anything." , but now, if your second uncle and second aunt knew that you slept at my place last night, what would you make your second uncle and second aunt think of me? You stayed here with me and I didn’t send you back, they must think I am unreliable."

Ji Yan rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't want to sleep with you last night. I wanted to wait for you to come back and talk to you. But I waited for you for a long time and never saw you come back. In the end, I got sleepy, so I stayed with you first. I fell asleep on the bed, I just wanted to sleep for a while, but I overslept without even thinking about it."

After a pause, he added: "When did you come back last night? Did you come back too late? If you came back early, you would have had time to take me back."

Chen Dongyan didn't say when he came back last night, he just asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ji Yan pursed her lips: "Why did you go out to drink last night?"

She always felt that this matter was weird, because she had a ghost in her heart, so she was particularly concerned about Chen Dongyan's abnormal behavior.

Chen Dongyan glanced at her, thought about it, and finally told her about the seven Jiang spies he went to kill last night, but he only talked about killing the spies, not that he had identified himself and knew that he was Chen Dongyan's. matter.

Ji Yan was shocked: "Ah? You actually..."

She said angrily: "You did such a dangerous thing just because you said you would. Are you injured?"

She immediately got off the bed and went to check Chen Dongyan's body.

Chen Dongyan grabbed her hand hard to prevent her from doing anything wrong. He said in a cold voice: "I'm not hurt."

Ji Yan asked: "Are those seven Jiang spies really dead?"

"Well, they're all dead."

Ji Yan looked at Ye Di. Although Ye Di explained that he went to kill the seven Jiang spies to help his second uncle, Ji Yan still felt that Ye Di knew something.

Ji Yan asked tentatively: "Ye Di, have you been to the city gate or the Yamen?"

Chen Dongyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why should I go to the city gate? What should I do to the Yamen?"

Ji Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing."

She changed the subject and said, "You said you drank a lot last night and pretended to be drunk to deceive the seven Jiang spies. Then you came back and fell asleep directly. That must not be very comfortable, right?"

Chen Dongyan knew that the question she just asked had other meanings, but he pretended not to know. He nodded along with her words: "Well, I feel a little uncomfortable. Please help me make a bowl of hangover soup."

Ji Yan took a breath and said, "Okay."

She originally wanted to hang on, but because she felt guilty as a thief, she left quickly.

After she left, Chen Dongyan followed her out and escorted her all the way back to her bedroom, before Chen Dongyan returned.

He was following him secretly, and Ji Yan didn't know.

Chen Dongyan also observed his surroundings along the way. It was still dark, the master and servants in Ji's Mansion were still sleeping, and there was no one everywhere.

Chen Dongyan breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep again after returning.

Let’s talk about Ji Xianjiang.

After Chen Dongyan left the study in the evening, Ji Xianjiang hurried out and went to find Qu Genmin. Qu Genmin also didn't sleep all night. He was also waiting for news from Chen Dongyan.

When Qu Genmin saw Ji Xianjiang, he quickly asked: "Duhou Chen..."

"Duhou Chen is fine. He has returned to Ji Mansion. Seven spies from the Jiang Kingdom are dead. I came to you to deal with the aftermath."

Hearing that Chen Dongyan was fine, Qu Genmin finally felt relieved after worrying all night.

He asked: "How is the situation of Chen Duhou?"

"Duhou Chen is fine and not injured."

Qu Genmin was completely relieved now. He said: "Let's go, take the soldiers, and we will go there together."

Ji Xianjiang nodded.

Qu Genmin called his son Qu Zijun over and asked Qu Zijun to order some soldiers. After that, these people left the house in the middle of the night and went to the dead end alley.

Because it was too late, no one discovered that there were corpses here, and because the corpses were all at the far end of the dead-end alley, not even the watchers found them.

Qu Genmin and Ji Xianjiang walked in.

Qu Zijun also walked in.

The soldiers lit torches and followed them inside.

After walking in, I saw corpses scattered everywhere.

There was blood everywhere on the ground.

Qu Genmin kicked the nearest corpse and said to one of the soldiers: "Tear off his face to see if there is a human skin mask."

The soldier nodded, bent down and tore off the corpse's face, and actually tore off a human skin mask.

Qu Genmin frowned: "Tear it apart again."

The soldier's forehead twitched, but he continued to tear it off. However, after tearing for a long time, he could not tear off another human skin mask.

Ji Xianjiang, who was standing next to him, said: "It seems like he is only wearing a mask."

He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to tear off the human skin masks from the faces of the other six people.

After the true faces of the six people were exposed, Ji Xianjiang looked at Qu Zijun.

Qu Zijun took out his paintbrush and easel and began to draw the faces of the seven people.

After everyone's appearance was drawn, he put the drawing away and said, "That's it."

Qu Genmin asked the soldiers to clean up the bodies and clean the scene.

After the corpses were removed, all the blood on the ground was cleaned, and nothing strange could be seen, Qu Genmin and Ji Xianjiang left with the soldiers again.

The seven portraits of Jiang State spies painted by Qu Zijun were sealed by Qu Genmin and sent to the imperial city in a hurry, along with a letter.

The letter wrote in detail what happened tonight, including Chen Dongyan's identity, and also informed the king.

Although Chen Dongyan said that he could not reveal his identity to anyone, how could Qu Genmin not tell the king if he knew about it?
Not telling is a crime of not reporting what you know, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Qu Genmin couldn't bear it if the king knew the truth one day and blamed him.

But Qu Genmin didn't want to embarrass Ji Xianjiang, and he himself didn't want to offend Chen Dongyan. Therefore, although he reported Chen Dongyan's affairs to the king, he also specifically pointed out that Chen Dongyan did not allow them to tell anyone. The king would naturally understand after seeing this sentence. The difficulties between him and Ji Xianjiang.

After the drawings and letters were handed over to the post envoy, Qu Genmin felt truly relieved. He confessed Chen Dongyan's identity to the king, which was considered a violation of his promise to Ji Xianjiang, so he told Ji Xianjiang about the matter.

Ji Xianjiang frowned: "Your Majesty knows, will he send someone to Bobeiguan to pick up Duhou Chen?" (End of Chapter)
