Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 68 Rage

"Ma'am, you are back."

The servant girl rushed out to greet her, and seeing her calm face, showing no signs of happiness or anger, she reported in one breath: "My lord sent someone over, and asked my wife to go to the study."

The envoys sent by the imperial court are in the front yard. There are many people and things, and they are in urgent need of manpower.The messenger boy delivered the letter and left in a hurry.

Yao Tong usually went to the study, so he went by himself.

The manpower in charge of the study has also been adjusted by more than half, there are only a few cleaning servants left, and she is the only one in the study.

When she suddenly learned of the existence of that Ningguo princess, she was so upset that she couldn't read the book.Sitting in vain was even more difficult, so I tidied up the scattered books on the bookshelf.

After sorting out the books, gradually, my mood calmed down.

Until the last row, this row of bookshelves seldom moves on weekdays, only one book is skewed.She took it out and saw that it was Li Yishan's collection of poems, the cover was a little wrinkled, obviously someone often read it.

She smiled slightly, never expecting that He Zhenghan likes to see Li Yishan, who is lingering and beautiful, and it doesn't suit him no matter how he sees it.

I tidied up the books, but I couldn't put them in the bookshelf because there was something blocking them.

She stretched out her hand to touch it, and felt the cold and hard touch. She pulled hard and pulled out a long box.

The box is carved with aged rosewood, delicate and elegant.When I got the light, I saw that there was a red bean carved from red jade embedded in the box. It was red, exquisite and lovely.

My heart skipped a beat.

She wanted to put the box back immediately, but she couldn't help but guess what was in it.

After all, the meaning of red beans is so straightforward.

There is no lock in the box, as long as you open it lightly, you can know what is inside.

But at the last moment, she finally suppressed the curiosity that scratched her heart, and put the box back to its original place.

Take a few steps and put away the box.A few simple movements seemed to take a lot of effort, and she let out a long breath.

Everyone has privacy, and she won't peep when she shouldn't.

Although she refrained from reading it, her heart was still scratching like a cat. She no longer had the mood to tidy up the bookshelves, and she couldn't wait for He Zhenghan for a long time.The sky also darkened, and the lanterns under the porch were lit up one by one.

She didn't wait any longer, got up and left the study.

Back in the bedroom, lying on the bed with all his clothes on, Yao Tong rubbed his slightly painful temples, feeling restless.

What Shen Jing said echoed in his mind for a moment. It turned out that He Zhenghan was so anxious to clear the northwest because he wanted to welcome Princess Ningguo back to Lindu.For a moment it was the box with the red beans embedded in it again.

Red beans are born in the southern country, and this thing is the most lovesick.

Acacia, who is missing?What's inside?
After thinking wildly for a while, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became.Yao Tong sat up in a huff, she was not a sharp-edged person, her current mood was very wrong.

This emotion must be resolved through other things.

"Come here, bring in the hot water."

I rode back and forth twice on horseback, and sorted out my books in the study room. Although it was autumn and the heat was gone, I was still sweating, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Hot water was delivered quickly.

The bathroom room was remodeled by her after she drew a picture, and the space was doubled.The bathtub is specially made, not the usual round shape, but an irregular oval shape with a slope inside, so you can sit or lie flat.

Yao Tong sat leaning against the edge of the bucket, with her long washed hair draped behind her back. Her hair was voluminous and soaked in water, so it was wet and heavy, so she let it fall to her shoulders and lay across her breasts.

The hot water soaked to the chest, and the long hair floated in the water, hiding the round breasts looming.

She was soaked in hot water, warm, this kind of warmth soothed the boredom in her heart, and she closed her eyes comfortably.

When she was drowsy, there was a "bang" outside, and the door seemed to be pushed open.

"My lord, the lady is in the bathroom, and the maidservant will report first." The maidservant's voice sounded, and panic could be heard.

Yao Tong opened his eyes.

With the sound of footsteps, He Zhenghan broke in.

In the curling water vapor, his expression could not be seen clearly, but from his movements, it could be seen that he came with anger.

"Grandpa?"

Arms crossed his chest, his body sank into the water, only a slender neck was exposed, Yao Tong raised his voice to call him.

He Zhenghan glanced at her, his face was stern, his eagle eyes were red with drunkenness, "You are so brave!"

Yao Tong didn't know why he was suddenly so angry. Seeing that he seemed drunk and came with anger, he was a little hairy, "Why did you say that?"

"Did I indulge you too much, making you lawless." He suddenly came to the bathtub, his tall and burly body condescending, casting a shadow.

"Master, can you go out for a while? Let me put on my clothes."

Yao Tong met his angry drunken eyes, his heart was beating thumpingly, the emotions that had been suppressed for a day were tumbling and about to burst out.She tried her best to restrain herself, not to get angry with him, a drunk, and tried to persuade him in a good voice.

"Boom." The iron fist hit the edge of the bucket heavily. He was so powerful that the heavy bathtub shook, the water line inside shook, and the snow-white carcass was faintly visible.

"Master, what happened?" Yao Tong sensed the danger in his scarlet eyes, curled up, and shielded himself with his long hair.

"You went to the study."

There was anger in his voice.

Seeing her nodding, he breathed heavily again, "What did you move?"

Yao Tong's heart sank heavily, and the first time he thought of the box, his expression also changed.

"What's moving? Hmm." He moved closer to her, breathing heavily on her face with the smell of alcohol.

"A box. But I didn't open it. I just looked at it and put it in. I didn't look at it"

Her words gradually faded away, only because his face was extremely ugly, and the iron fist resting on the edge of the bucket hit him hard again.

Yao Tong opened her eyes wide and looked at the blue veins floating on the back of his hand. For a moment, she felt that the fist would fall on her in a second.

"You're still lying to this day."

The bathtub swung again, and the fist hit the bucket, leaving an afterimage in Yao Tong's eyes. At this moment, he breathed a strange sigh of relief and didn't hit her.

"I didn't." Knowing the reason for his rage, Yao Tong tried his best to calm down, "Master, I really didn't open it."

"shut up."

He Zhenghan yelled loudly, strode out, and when he came back, he was holding the box in his hand, "No one has entered the study today except you. Who else would it be?"

He opened the box with anger, and inside lay a white jade phoenix hairpin. The phoenix was carved extremely realistically, full of charm, and the phoenix tail was wrapped with wishful patterns, which was amazing at a glance.

But such an ingenious phoenix hairpin was broken into two pieces.

"Are you still going to argue?"

Yao Tong took a deep breath, trying not to be irritable in his tone of defense, "You think I broke it. But, such a beautiful hairpin, who is willing to destroy it? Besides, why should I destroy it?"

Those drunken eagle eyes stared at her fiercely, full of sarcasm, "You took so much trouble to find out so many things, and you still pretend to be innocent, thinking that you can still hide it from me?"

The water in the bathtub cooled down, Yao Tong shivered, and his clear eyes were also tinged with coldness, "Believe it or not, I haven't opened it, and I won't admit to things I haven't done. As for the others, what did I inquire about?"

She suddenly took a deep breath, she had inquired about something today, about the person on his heart, Princess Ningguo.

His eyes fixed on the broken hairpin, his skin was soaked in cold water, and the cold entered his flesh and blood.
