Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Fortunately, the tub was big enough, and Yunling squatted down to cover her completely.

She waited quietly for a while, holding her breath, and heard a rustling sound. She was anxious to leave, so she quietly held the bathtub and stuck her head out, but she was caught off guard by the sight of a muscular back with half-undressed clothes on the other side of the folding screen. Even through the hazy screen core, the sculpture-like lines cannot be ignored.

She was so shocked that she quickly retracted. She didn't know whether it was because she had been squatting for a long time or because she moved too quickly. Her center of gravity was unstable and she suddenly fell to the ground. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

She thought she made no sound, but she didn't know that Cui Qiyan had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing and alertness were different from ordinary people.

He quickly put on the middle coat he was about to take off again, looked sharply at the inside of the screen, and said sternly: "Come out!"

Yunling covered her mouth tighter, her heart almost jumping into her throat. She was secretly annoyed that she should have walked out openly in the first place, but now she had to explain herself unclearly.

Just when she was at war with heaven and man, hesitating between going out bravely or betting that he was just testing, Cui Qiyan had walked in quietly.

The sudden appearance of the legs in front of her eyes completely shattered Yunling's hopes, which were still filled with luck.

Cui Qiyan looked down from a high position and when he saw that it was a woman, the murderous look in his eyes was replaced by disgust. He couldn't see clearly who was sitting on the ground without any rules, so he automatically classified her as his maid. Because outsiders are not allowed to enter his residence easily, especially women.

The maids who asked him to stay have been here for at least four years, and they have been keeping to themselves in the past few years. He thought that by driving away those with evil thoughts, he had already made them

I understand how to be a competent servant, but I didn't expect that there is still a thief here.

"Get out of here!"

Roll up? Roll or get up?

Yunling was stunned for a moment and found that the current position was too narrow and she couldn't roll out. She stood up with her hands on the ground, lowered her head and subconsciously took a few steps back to keep a safe distance from the dangerous person.

Her movements seemed familiar to Cui Qiyan. He stepped forward and pinched her mandible without mercy, forcing her to raise her head.

Yunling was in pain, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only frown unconsciously.

"Why is it you? What do you want to do hiding in my room?"

Cui Qiyan's hand did not weaken, and he asked with a cold face. Did she really have another purpose in coming to the house?

It was uncomfortable for Yunling to be forced to raise her head, and she wanted to move her feet back. Unexpectedly, as soon as she retreated, Cui Qiyan pinched her neck and pushed her to the wall, and her back hit the cold wall hard.

She couldn't help but let out a muffled cough and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please let go first, and I can explain..."

Her face turned red and she looked very painful.

Cui Qiyan couldn't help but let go of his hand, for she didn't dare to play any tricks.

Yunling regained her breath and said, "This servant is here to help with the cleaning at the order of the eldest lady. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Yinzhu."

"Since you came here under orders, why are you hiding here?" Cui Qiyan asked.

Yunling pointed to the towel stacked on the short table beside her, "I'm here to return this. The prince suddenly came in. I, I was scared and hid. I wanted to wait for the prince to leave before going out, but you still found me. ”

Cui Qiyan took a step closer, "What are you afraid of?

Could it be that he has a guilty conscience? "

"I didn't." Yunling looked directly into his eyes frankly.

The man in front of her only wore a thin tunic, which was tied loosely around his body. The collar was folded and open, revealing a small piece of his strong and smooth chest. She could almost feel the heat radiating from his body.

In this state, she didn't know where to put her firm eyes. There was another wall behind her, and the feeling of being short of breath came again.

She shortened her body and wanted to move to the side.

"What are you going to do?" Cui Qiyan saw her little move.

"No, I don't want to do anything," Yunling immediately stood up straight and said with an awkward smile, "My legs are sore."

"Go out and wait." Cui Qiyan returned to the outside of the screen.

"Slave, let's go now." Yunling walked away without stopping as soon as she was released.

"You dare to slip away and try."

The words coming from behind directly revealed her little thoughts. Of course she didn't dare to try it. Not to mention that she would stay in this house for a few more years, but she would also come to Chenglin Pavilion tomorrow.

She stopped, turned around and said, "I don't dare. I'm waiting outside for the prince's punishment."

Cui Qiyan turned his back to her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously, "It's good to know."

Yunling came out of the side door, her head drooped and resigned, and stood in front of the door.

"Hey, Yunling, why are you here?"

Ji Bai climbed up the steps and was surprised when he saw her.

Yunling really wasn't in the mood to explain to him any more, so she said concisely: "I'm here to do some work."

"What's wrong with your face and neck?" Ji Bai pointed at her and asked with wide eyes.

Yunling couldn't see the purple mark on her erect neck and shook her head blankly.

At this time, Cui Qiyan, who had changed his clothes, came out of the bedroom

Wandering to the hall, he sat on a chair and raised his eyes and said, "Come in."

Yunling looked at Ji Bai opposite, "Who is he calling?"

"As for you, there's no need to look at other people."

Yunling moved in with small steps uneasily. Cui Qiyan looked at her playfully and told Ji Bai outside the door, "Call Yinzhu."

Ji Bai, who was overflowing with curiosity, wanted to follow him and join in the fun, but his feet were already off the ground. Hearing this, he had to put his feet back and go do things.

Yunling moved quickly and slowly to Cui Qiyan, but did not dare to get too close to him.

Cui Qiyan frowned. He was about to say that he was so far away and asked him to shout and speak? But in the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the purple color on her neck, and he paused suddenly. He clearly didn't exert much force just now, why was it so obvious? What a hassle.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

Not long after, Ji Bai and Yin Zhu came back.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to tell your servant?"

Cui Qiyan raised his hand and pointed, "Did her mother ask her to come here?"

Yin Zhu just didn't look carefully, "Yunling, why are you still here?"

"Sister Yinzhu, I went to wash the towel in the ear room and accidentally bumped into the prince." Yunling seemed to have seen a savior.

She was wronged, wasn't she careful? If she hadn't been so sneaky, would he have needed to be like this? Cui Qiyan turned away in anger.

Yin Zhu also noticed the purple color on Yun Ling's neck and secretly thought, "Oh no, the prince is really angry."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The eldest lady knew that we were short of manpower, so she asked Mother Wu to bring Yunling and Zisu from the Third Girl's Courtyard to help. It was my slave who didn't warn them well and bumped into you. If you want to be punished, Your Majesty, please punish your slave."

Things were exactly as Yun Ling said. Cui Qiyan lowered his head and glanced at his right hand, only then did he remember how soft and slender the tentacles were.

He came back to his senses and his gaze fell on Yun Ling as if nothing had happened, "Since it was mother who asked her to come, let's forget about it."

Yin Zhu thought for a while and replied: "Then slave girl, go and tell Mother Wu that someone will replace Yunling tomorrow."

The prince kicked out all the maids who offended him back then. Yunling looked like a responsible person, but Yinzhu was worried that she would follow in the footsteps of those people.

"No need to worry about it." After Cui Qiyan said that, he stood up and walked out the door.
