My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

In a remote courtyard in the south of Kyoto, candlelight flickered and the windows were half-closed.

A middle-aged man wearing a robe and a hanging crown is holding a brush and writing something.

If Zhong Wei were present, he would be able to recognize that this person was Feng Jingming, his family friend who thrust Wu Shaohan into the escort team.

In the quiet night, there was a sudden knock on the door, two loud and one soft, first fast and then slow.

It's my own!

Feng Jingming knew it well, but he still carefully hid the note he just wrote before hurriedly carrying a lantern to the front yard.

The door of the house opened, and what came into view was a young man and woman in disguise.

They were wrapped in ink-colored cloaks, hooded with cloaks, and covered with eagle masks and fox masks, one black and one white, complementing each other.

Su Yunwan bought these two masks from a small stall while shopping along the way. When she saw that they were well-made and lifelike, she was convinced.

Just now Qin Junyi asked for a mask, and she felt short of breath, so the mask came in handy.

Feng Jingming held the door, with hidden vigilance in his eyes: "Who are you two?"

Qin Junyi handed over a copper-colored token, "We have come a long way and want to stay for a few nights."

Feng Jingming took a look at the token and saw the word "order" written on the front and the special pattern of the Qin family's shadow guard camp engraved on the back. It was the token that the shadow guards received when they went out to perform difficult tasks.

Once this order is issued, other internal personnel must assist and cooperate unconditionally.

"No problem, please come in." Feng Jingming confirmed that it was correct, returned the token to Qin Junyi, moved out of the way and extended his hand to guide him.

Qin Junyi took Su Yunwan's hand, crossed the threshold and entered the house, and walked with Feng Jingming to the east wing of the second courtyard.

Along the way, Feng Jingming glanced vaguely at the hands held by the two of them.

With the strict rules of the Shadow Guard Camp, even if there are people within the group who fall in love with each other, they only dare to interact in secret without revealing any clues.

Aren't they afraid of reporting to the commander themselves? !

Feng Jingming complained silently in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He secretly tested: "Both of these two rooms are empty."

"Just one room is enough." Qin Junyi finished speaking and let Su Yunwan choose.

Su Yunwan smiled secretly and glanced at him, pointing to the nearest room: "That's it."

When I entered the house, I found that there was not much space inside, but there were all the necessary tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, etc.

"Wait a moment, you two, go down and get some bedding."

"It's work."

Feng Jingming brought tea first, then went to get spare bedding, pillows and other items, and then ordered two bowls of egg noodles.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Su Yunwan went to take a bath first, while Qin Junyi asked Feng Jingming about the recent situation in the capital.

Su Yunwan took a shower first, used her inner strength to dry her hair, then went to bed and lay down half-way.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Junyi also came back from bathing.

He was covered in moisture, wearing a white silk nightgown with a high collar, and the buttons around his neck were meticulously fastened. Not only did he outline a perfect figure, but he also had a strong sense of abstinence.

Looking at the man in front of him with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and full of ascetic beauty, Su Yunwan couldn't help but deepen his eyes, "Where did this pajamas come from?"

"Feng Jingming prepared it. I didn't want to spoil his kindness, so I accepted it. Let's sleep." Qin Junyi blew out the candle.

After lying down, he stretched out his long arms to take Su Yunwan into his arms. Qin Junyi sighed with satisfaction in his heart: Finally, we can sleep together in the same bed. This trip is well worth it!

Su Yunwan rested her head on the man's shoulder and saw the buttons on her pajamas. A seductive voice sounded from the darkness: "The buttons are so tight, isn't it uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Qin Junyi grabbed the hand that wanted to reach for the buckle and kissed it on the lips, "It's late at night, have a good rest."

Su Yunwan's pupils narrowed slightly, and the woman's sixth sense signaled: something is wrong! Something is very wrong!

"Take off your clothes."

Qin Junyi:!

"Wanwan, I'm cold."

Su Yunwan: "...Would you like to take it off?"

"Take it off, take it off now, but will it hurt?" Qin Junyi looked like he wanted to perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong, but he was wary, and gently stroked her belly with his palm.

Su Yunwan's face turned red, and she took out a nightgown out of thin air: "What are you thinking about? I want you to change into the clothes I prepared."

Qin Junyi hesitated for a moment: "...I'll change it now."

He sat up, forced himself to calmly unbutton his clothes, and while taking off his clothes, he used his movements to conceal his posture and secretly adjusted his posture, facing Su Yunwan.

Su Yunwan looked at the perfectly healthy and muscular chest in front of her, and swallowed secretly, but she did not forget the questions in her heart. She glanced around but did not notice anything strange.

Qin Junyi was about to take the clothes from her hand and put them on when he saw her sitting up and kneeling, "I'll put them on for you."

"Don't catch a cold, lie down quickly!" Qin Junyi wrapped the quilt around her and wanted to help her lie down.

Su Yunwan slapped his hand away and said with a cold expression: "Turn around and let me see your back."

"Wan Wan..." Qin Junyi wanted to hide it, but when he saw her oppressive gaze, he stopped talking and turned around obediently.

The weak moonlight did not affect Su Yunwan's vision, but she could see that her back, which should have been smooth and clean, had become mottled with bruises and bruises, as well as many unresolved swelling marks.

It was obviously a scar caused by the fall of the staff spine.

The punishment on the spine of the rod is the most severe of all the punishments on the rod. It does not take many strokes to cause internal injuries, or even immediate death.

Su Yunwan stared until his eyes hurt and his voice became tight: "Why are you hurt?"

"I made a mistake and I should punish myself." Qin Junyi quickly put on his clothes.

Su Yunwan thought of the night she was called by Qin Mu to go to the front yard a few days ago. There was something else she didn't understand. She took a deep breath and asked coldly: "Why don't you take the medicine properly?"

Qin Junyi took her hand, but Su Yunwan threw it away, "Have I ever said that I don't like people who hurt themselves? Your behavior will only make me angry and disgusted!"

"So I don't want you to know."

"No wonder you were so cooperative the past few days and let me sleep like a baby. I really want to thank you for hiding it from me!"

"Wan Wan..."

"go out!"

Qin Junyi said softly: "Listen to me..."

Su Yunwan didn't want to hear anything, so she quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes, threw the mask on the side in front of him, and went straight to the door.

She held the door, opened a gap wide enough for one person, hid behind the door and said sideways: "Go slowly without seeing me off!"

Qin Junyi saw that she was wearing a thin undergarment and was afraid that she would catch a cold if she exposed herself too much, so he didn't dare to say any more or delay, so he put on a mask and left the house in frustration.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a "bang" of the door closing.

Looking at the closed door, Qin Junyi had a wry smile on his face. It was true that blessings and misfortunes depended on each other!

He stood in front of the door, as motionless as a statue, and stayed like this all night.

In another direction of the capital, a large number of officers and soldiers from the Imperial City Division were ordered to go out with swords and torches, surrounding several clan mansions.

Soon, disheveled people struggled out of the door one after another and were taken away in embarrassment.

Shouting, exclaiming, begging for mercy... all kinds of voices were intertwined and kept going all night long.
