Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 42
Pushing open the window, he called out into the deep night, "Yun Jia?"

The black shadow under the tree swayed, and a figure slowly walked over. It was a woman with a black veil on her face, looking at him sadly.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Fang Nijin has been with you for so many years, and she has never spent the night in Bixiaoyuan. This Ji Liangruo, how much do you like her?"

He closed his eyes and endured his anger: "Have you gone to find Fang Nijin?"

"Is it okay for me to chat with someone?" She asked, "You locked me in Lengxiangyuan, trying to smother me to death?"

"I asked you to come out, but you were the one who stared blankly at a pile of relics!"

She burst into tears, reached out and pulled him: "Shouldn't I?" She pointed to the inside of the bed curtain, "Try it! If you love her to the bottom of your bones, one day she gives birth to your child, will you not love her?" Will you be very happy? One day, she and the child will be burned alive by the fire, can you still laugh while watching the flowers and the moon?"

"Yun Jia..." He sighed in pain, "Calm down..."

"How do I stay calm?" She tore off her veil, half of which was stunningly beautiful, and half of which was the scar after the flames spread, "Look at my face, look at the fact that I am alone now, all because of Qin Yunguang's mother and son!"

"Yun Jia!" He shouted in a low voice.

She felt a sudden pain in her shoulder and neck, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground.A pair of hands hugged her in time, and she leaned softly in the man's arms.

Qin Yunyao sighed, and said to Mo Yan who was holding her: "Send more people, keep her tight, and don't let her make trouble in front of the princess!"

"Yes." Mo Yan nodded.

He stretched out his hand, put the veil on her, and whispered: "Yun Jia, don't worry about what I'm doing. You still have your second brother, your revenge will eventually be avenged."

And he, as long as anyone can help him protect Ji Liangruo, he will support whoever!
In the morning, Qin Yunwei came over for breakfast, followed by Dongyue and her maid holding books.

Qin Yunyao didn't like irrelevant people to enter and leave Bixiao Courtyard. Normally, the maidservants brought by Ji Liangruo and Qin Yunwei would enter the living room at most, but in the study, bedroom and other places, only Lu Shao, Mo Yan, and Liu Yuan could enter among the servants.

If Ji Liang stayed overnight in Bixiao Courtyard, he would tell Dong Yue to go back and come back the next morning.Dongyue didn't object either, she always reported the news to the queen mother at night, if she couldn't go back, there would be some troubles.

Qin Yunwei waited for a while, and then Ji Liangruo and Qin Yunyao came out together.After the two sat down, she couldn't wait to say: "Fourth brother! I found out that you have an owl here!"

Dongyue's body shook, but the people at the dinner table didn't notice, and the green shoot at the door saw it, with a suspicious expression on her face, she didn't turn her head to look at her or anything, but pretended not to notice.Dongyue felt relieved and stopped making any gestures.

"What owl?" Qin Yunyao asked.

"It's just a kind of bird!" Qin Yunwei gestured excitedly, but she didn't notice that there seemed to be something wrong between her brother and sister-in-law. "This kind of bird only appears at night, and it flies silently and fleetingly. It's invisible, so few people see it. I also knew it from books before, and I didn't expect to see it for real!"

"Where did you see it?" Ji Liangruo had never heard of it, but when he heard that the bird looked like a cat, he felt a little scared.When she heard the cat meowing in the middle of the night, she always felt nervous.

"Last night, I saw it parked on the tree pole outside the window. I thought it was a cat at first, but then I saw it fly away. I was so shocked!"

"Is...is it?" In Jingyueyuan?Qin Yunyao sent her to the cat for a long time before, but recently, because Yunwei came to bring the dog they gave him, and the cat and dog didn't get along, he asked someone to get the cat away.But if another flying cat comes, she may be scared out of her wits.Can fly?That shouldn't stop there all the time.Could it be that the shadow I saw last night was that thing?
She glanced at Qin Yunyao, Qin Yunyao's expression was cold, it seemed that it was not as simple as pretending.It seemed that he was really angry last night.

Is it worth his anger that she can't think of what to ask him?

With a little bitterness in her heart, she asked Qin Yunwei: "The cat... what kind of hawk is the cat, can it hurt people?"

"Owl." Qin Yunwei said, "it shouldn't hurt people, right? It seems to eat bugs."

Qin Yunyao said: "It's just a flying bird, similar to a swallow or a yellow warbler, but it's just a nocturnal bird. Don't worry about it. If you like it, I'll send someone to watch it outside the house tonight. If you see it again, I caught it and gave it to you to play with!"

Dongyue was slightly startled again, this time Qin Yunyao found out and squinted at her.

When Ji Liangruo saw it, he knew something was different.Afraid that speaking would arouse suspicion, he simply kept silent.

Qin Yunwei was happy at first, but after thinking about it, she sighed: "There's no need to catch it on purpose. It's luck if you can see it, and it's fine if you don't see it. It's free and easy, so shut it down, what a crime!"

If he didn't notice Dongyue's strangeness, Qin Yunyao would be afraid to follow her.But knowing that there are ghosts, how can there be any reason to let them go?

He smiled and said, "I caught it and let you take a closer look, and you let it go again?"

Qin Yunwei made sense after thinking about it, and nodded happily.

So that night, Mo Yanzhen brought a few guards to guard the Jingyue Courtyard, waiting quietly.

The dinner was served in Jingyue Courtyard, Qin Yunyao went back to Bixiao Courtyard after dinner, and didn't ask Ji Liangruo to go with him, Ji Liangruo guessed that he would not come.

They each have their own yards, and it doesn't feel wrong to separate them occasionally.It's just that Ji Liangruo was worried, they were cold for a whole day, and hoped that it would not be like this again tomorrow.

She went back to her room to take a bath, and Dongyue quietly entered the room when she got out of the bath, and pulled her: "Princess, think of a way! That eagle is used by the Queen Mother to communicate with me, so it must not be caught!"

Ji Liangruo was shaken by her, and simply shook her hand: "Do you think I'm not worried? I've been thinking about it for a whole day, but I haven't thought of a good way, so that you can't hide things and show your feet in front of him. Just doubt us, how can there be any reason to stop now?"

"Then what are you doing?" Dong Yue became angry, "If that eagle is caught, he will immediately find spies, and he must be the first to arrest you. Do you think he will remember that you warmed his bed these few nights?" of kindness?"

"You—" Ji Liangruo didn't expect her to speak so badly, and slapped her at her, "I don't need him to remember!"

"You..." Dongyue was in pain, staring at her resentfully, but didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

Ji Liangruo took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves: "Go back, pretend it's nothing, and do what you usually do. I think you have been trained, and it should be trained, so it shouldn't be so So stupid to fly out and be caught! You write back and tell the queen mother about it, and ask her to change the way of delivering the letter, and if she can’t change it, you must make the cat... the cat or something can’t see anything if it is caught.”

"Yes..." Dongyue nodded grumpily, and went out clutching the red half of her face.

One night passed, and as Ji Liangruo said, that owl was not stupid enough to fly out and be caught.A few days later, one was caught, but it was not the one delivering the letter, it was brought here by another one to be caught.Now that they were caught, Mo Yan and the others stopped standing guard all night.Qin Yunwei raised the owl for a few days before releasing it, and the matter was left alone.

Qin Yunyao's indifference towards Ji Liangruo lasted for only one day, and spent the night in Jingyue Courtyard the next day, without asking her anything, nor explaining anything himself.

Ji Liangruo has guessed his temperament, he is the kind of person who rots his wounds under his skin, keeps everything in his heart and refuses to talk about it.Although it looks better, he must not have forgotten it in his heart, and maybe he still cares about it deeply.

She pondered carefully for a few days, and recalled every detail of the marriage since she got married. She guessed something without asking.

I'm going to go to him after a nap and ask him a question, lest he worry about it.He was shaken awake just after sleeping for a while, Ji Liangruo opened his eyes and saw Dongyue, he was very upset at being disturbed: "What are you doing?"

Dongyue was also unhappy, and said with a sneer, "Ms. Ji has been enjoying herself physically and mentally recently, but she has forgotten the business!"

With a cry of "Miss Ji", Ji Liangruo suddenly sat up.This Dongyue deliberately reminded her of her identity as a spy!On the way, remind her not to hit her in the future?After all, they have the same identity in private!
