Chapter 45: A Short Separation Makes the Dawn More Beautiful

Tata Tower

Two hurried footsteps, one behind the other, chased back and forth in the quiet alley. Next door was a street full of human lights.

After arriving at Yicheng City, Yufeng Lingkong would attract the attention of the immortal master worshiped here, and would also disturb the common people. The two of them fell to the ground and rushed to the house in the west of the city on foot.

Shangguan Lingye was still walking in front, no longer the unhurried and dignified look of the past. He held the hem of his skirt in both hands and trotted between the alleys, never looking back.

Zuo Lingquan chased all the way, and saw the Dowager Empress landing on the ground. He thought he would catch up, but it turned out that the Dowager Empress was too clever, and she shrunk to a foot, which seemed slow but was fast. No matter how he chased, they kept more than a hundred steps behind each other. distance.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know whether the concubine was angry or something else. He wanted to go up and ask what happened, but the other party didn't give him a chance and could only say:

"Toffee, please run slower."

Shangguan Lingye didn't seem to hear it. When he came to the corner of a house, he quickly jumped in.

Zuo Lingquan chased to the wall and was about to follow in, but his eyes were attracted by the gate of the house.

The moonlight is long, dim lanterns are hung on both sides of the gate, and there is a row of lush green bamboos under the wall.

A mature woman in a moire dress stood under a lantern, with her hands folded on her waist, looking forward to it; the dim light of the lantern intertwined with the moonlight, shining on her delicate cheeks as white as suet, and the autumn water in her eyes. Tenderness abounds, and just by looking at the side face, one can notice the lovesickness buried deep in the heart.

Sensing the movement at the corner of the alley, the woman turned her eyes. Her eyes lit up at first, and then turned into her usual calm and elegant expression. She spoke softly:

"Lingquan."

Although Zuo Lingquan had only been separated for a few days, he still felt as if he had been separated for three years. When he saw Qingwan watching her husband at the door, he quickly walked up to him, raised his hand and gave her a bear hug:

"Just wait in the room. What are you doing out here?"

"Eh?"

Wu Qingwan was hugged tightly, as if she was trying to squeeze into Zuo Lingquan's body, and she was a little breathless.

There is no one in the alleyway now, but passers-by occasionally pass by. Outside, how could Wu Qingwan be so unruly? Her eyes were slightly annoyed, and she wanted to make Zuo Lingquan be more honest, but before the words came out of her mouth,...

Bahba bah…

Zuo Lingquan hugged Qingwan, lowered his head and took a few sips on the cheeks that were still full of charm even without applying makeup. Maybe he felt that it was not enough, so he nibbled on the red lips for the last time. If he hadn't been outside the gate, he might have picked it up. When you come down, you press it on the ground.

Wu Qingwan once again adapted to the mood between men and women. Faced with such an offensive, her cheeks turned red. She couldn't push him away, so she could only turn her head to avoid it, and covered Zuo Lingquan's lips with her hand:

"Okay, okay, just come back. We'll talk about these things when we get back to the room. Let's go in first."

Zuo Lingquan almost got lost in the wilderness, and he completely let go of the big stone in his heart after meeting Wu Qingwan. He didn't let go, instead he put his arm around Wu Qingwan's waist and looked around:

"Where are Jiang Yi and Jingxun? Didn't they come to pick me up?"

Wu Qingwan missed Zuo Lingquan no less than Zuo Lingquan in her heart. Why was she willing to keep a distance at this time? She didn't refuse to be hugged and walked away. She raised her hand to straighten Zuo Lingquan's clothes and sighed softly:

"You don't know Jiang Yi's temperament yet? You disappeared, and you were distracted all day long. But after learning that you were safe and sound, your old habits happened again. You had to pretend that you didn't care about you, and went to do the errands of the Demon Hunting Department. , I won’t let Leng Zhu come out yet…”

Zuo Lingquan naturally understood Jiang Yi's temperament and was not surprised by this.

"Jingxun has been crazy anxious these past few days. He went around offering incense and praying to the gods to keep you safe. He was here to pick you up just now. However, Tuanzi flew back first and was so skinny that he felt very distressed. He went back to the house to find Tuanzi. The food is gone. Where did you go? Are you okay with dumplings being so hungry?"

Wu Qingwan groped Zuo Lingquan's body with her hands and checked her pulse. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her body, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know exactly where he went, so he only briefly recounted his experiences over the past few days. Speaking of missing at sea a few days ago, Zuo Lingquan remembered another thing:

"By the way, where did Xie Qiutao go?"

"At the end of the day, we were all worried about your safety. We didn't pay too much attention to it. We should have followed you. After we settled here, the day before yesterday, Miss Xie came to visit and asked how you and the concubine were doing. Finally, she left. Yes, he should be in the city..."

While the two were talking, they walked into the hanging flower door, and the elegant courtyard appeared in front of them.

The painting boat was moored in the small lake on the side of the courtyard, with lights on inside. Shangguan Lingye could have been seen from the window.

But as soon as Zuo Lingquan walked in, the window was closed, and he couldn't even see his expression clearly.

Wu Qingwan was a little confused when she saw this, but she didn't want to ask more questions. She separated from Zuo Lingquan and walked to the attic:

"You go and see Jing Xun first. I live in the same house as Jiang Yi these days. I have plenty of time in the evening... to chat..."

When Wu Qingwan said here, it is estimated that he felt that it was all "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can avoid the eyes of Zuo Lingquan and walk to the attic.

Zuo Lingquan didn't reveal anything. After watching Qingwan enter the corridor, he turned to look at the wing on the side of the corridor.

The window of the room is open, and you can smell the smell of sandalwood, and there are familiar voices inside:

"It took me several years to build up a body of fat, but it all fell off in a few days. What did you do?"

"Chiji..."

"Eat slowly, what if I'm exhausted?"

"Ji~"

"You're in good shape, but it's so ugly when you're so fat..."

"grumble?"

Zuo Lingquan looked for the sound and came to the door and took a look.

Beside the round table, Jing You, wearing a goose-yellow summer skirt, sat on a round stool, her round and round figure on full display. Looking from behind, the tight skirt wrapped around her round buttocks, drawing an impactful arc. .

There are snacks that Tuanzi likes to eat on the round table. In the past, he didn’t feed Tuanzi much, but this time he was very generous. He opened a whole box of dried fish and let Tuanzi squat in it to eat; he was afraid of choking the small dumpling. Even though he was dead, he thoughtfully broke the dried fish into pieces and fed it into the dumpling’s mouth.

When the dumpling returned to her mother, she completely transformed into a baby bird still waiting for food in the nest. She had been so aggrieved these past few days. She opened her beak and took a bite without forgetting the words "Cuckoo jiji~". The story is outside miserable experience.

Tang Jingxuan, a second-level Youhuang, with higher moral standards than Zuo Lingquan, heard a noise behind her and turned to look at the door. Her mother's look of disdain for the fat girl instantly turned into a little woman's surprise.

Tang Jingxun quickly closed the box, stood up and came to him:

"Xiao Zuo, you're back, haven't you suffered any loss outside? You've scared me these past few days..."

"grumble?"

In the box, Tuanzi, who was waiting for food, screamed in confusion when faced with the world that suddenly made him unable to see his fingers.

Zuo Lingquan walked into the room and wanted to lower his head for a kiss, but Jingxun didn't give him a chance. He circled around to check, as if he was worried that he was as hungry and thin as Tuanzi.

"I'm fine. Tuanzi is not hungry and thin. He breathed fire on the sea, made himself smaller, and used great strength..."

"It can do anything with great strength, which shows how dangerous the situation is. Don't move around and let me see if you are injured..."

Zuo Lingquan opened his arms and asked Tang Jingxuan to look back and forth, then turned his eyes to the desk facing the door.

There are more than a dozen wooden figures of different shapes on the table, some may be heroic or majestic, and they seem to be worshiped by various pheasant gods in the world; in front of each god is a melon and fruit incense burner.

After Tang Jingxuan checked carefully and made sure that Zuo Lingquan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and found that Zuo Lingquan was looking at a bunch of statues with strange eyes. She didn't show anything strange at all, so she explained:

"Since you disappeared, I brought some gods back to pay my respects. It feels pretty good."

The phoenix is ​​a serious creature of heaven and earth, but when something goes wrong, it turns to worship some imaginary earthly deity. It's a bit funny to say that.

But Zuo Lingquan could also tell from this how worried Tang Jingxun was; he pulled Tang Jingxun to sit down at the round table and looked at the table filled with statues of gods:

"Most of these gods are imaginary gods from the secular world. Among them, the God of Agriculture, the Peach Blossom Empress, does exist, but even if people offer incense and worship, they probably won't be able to see it..."

Tang Jingxun didn't know that it was useless to burn incense and worship gods. There was helplessness in her eyes:

"The damn bitch has ignored me these past few days, and I have no other options. Regardless of whether it works or not, burning incense and praying for peace of mind is better than waiting stupidly at home. The damn bitch is the same. She usually seems to be aloof and can handle everything. Here we are. You can't count on it at the critical moment..."

"You can't say that. Ancestor Shangguan must have been worried these days, but he just didn't let us know. As soon as I showed up today, she came to me and killed the old devil who had been chasing me for several days with one slap. …”

Zuo Lingquan talked about what happened on the sea after coming out, but Tang Jingxuan did not dare to listen to these dangerous things. She said seriously:

"Isn't there a saying among scholars that 'a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall'? It is the right way for you to stop running around in the future. If you really encounter those powerful immortals and demons, the dead mother-in-law can't do anything. What will happen to them if you don't have the princess?" What to do? If that’s the case, it’s better to live peacefully in Donghua City for the rest of your life…”

Zuo Lingquan knew that Jingxun was frightened, and wanted to say something like, 'You can't avoid what's coming', but there was no point in saying these things, so he didn't say much, raised his arms and put his arms around her shoulders, and said with a smile:

"I know, in the future I will definitely think twice before I act, even more timid than Tuanzi.

"grumble?"

A muffled bird call came from the closed box.

Tang Jingxuan had thousands of words in her heart, and she would certainly not be able to finish them in a short while, but she was not the only girl in the family, so it was obviously not appropriate to drag Zuo Lingquan into a long conversation all night long. She turned to look at the attic outside the window, hesitated for a moment, and made a grand gesture:

"It's good that you know. Okay, go see the princess quickly. The princess has been worried a lot these days. She stands on the attic all day like a watchman. She leaves all the work to Leng Zhu, which almost makes Leng Zhu tired. die……"

Zuo Lingquan smiled, stood up, and pulled Jingxun out:

"Let's go over there and get together. It's very troublesome to run back and forth."

Tang Jingxuan was stunned. Originally, she didn't want to disturb Jiang Yi and Zuo Lingquan's alone time, but after thinking about it, she understood the meaning. Zuo Lingquan didn't want her to stay alone tonight.

Tang Jingxun never gives in. He will fight for what is his, and he definitely doesn't want to stand alone in his empty boudoir.

But tonight, the shameless aunt and niece will definitely have a big fight!

She squeezed past, brought tea and water to watch the excitement...

It doesn’t seem impossible…

Tang Jingxuan really wanted to see how much fun Qingwan, who looked dignified and intellectual, was having in the boudoir. She looked out with a blush on her face:

"It's not impossible to get together...it's not impossible. It's just that the dead mother-in-law is not easy to deal with. She seems to be nearby and may kill her at any time..."

Zuo Lingquan blinked and then remembered that there was an ancestor blocking the way between him and Jing Xun, and he hesitated for a moment.

But Tang Jingxun discovered that Zuo Lingquan was afraid of the ancestor and wanted to let her stay alone in the empty boudoir. He was not very determined at first, but now he made up his mind and pulled Zuo Lingquan out:

"There's nothing to worry about. She'll just come and won't disturb you."

As he spoke, Tang Jingxuan gestured to the small boat in the distance, as if "if she dares to come and interrupt, I will call her apprentice in to have family fun together."

Zuo Lingquan's palms and backs were all flesh. He didn't want to ignore Jing Xun, so he could only nod and smile, and walked out of the room with Jing Xun.

"grumble?"

The small box moved twice on the table, but no one paid attention...——

The attic was originally a place for young ladies who had not left the pavilion to live. It was suitable for overlooking the movement of the sea. Jiang Yicai lived here. The boudoir and the small study were only separated by a wall.

Wu Qingwan had already entered the boudoir and was sitting on the edge of the embroidery bed with a small wooden box on her lap. She seemed to be packing her things seriously.

Tang Jingxun passed by the boudoir and saw this scene, so he pushed Zuo Lingquan to the study room in front, walked into the room himself, and smiled playfully:

"Qingwan, are you making the bed?"

Bang

The small wooden box quickly closed.

Wu Qingwan raised her eyes and said unexpectedly:

"Hmm...yeah, it's getting late, Jiang Yi is going to bed later. Jingxun, why are you here?"

"I have nothing to do in the house. Come over and help you clean up."

"Oh...huh? No need, it's such a small thing...eh?"

"Eh? Why are these pantyhose crotchless? How do you wear them?"

"This is Jiang Yi's stuff. She and the concubine studied it. I don't know..."

"Yeah?"

"Um."

In the corridor, Zuo Lingquan had just taken a few steps, then stepped back after hearing the sound, and took a peek from the window. Unfortunately, he could only see the graceful backs of the two women, and Qingwan glared at them.

Zuo Lingquan quickly looked away and quickly came to the study room next door.

Compared with the tidy boudoir, the small study room is much messier. Leng Zhu is not proficient in professional skills and cannot handle it alone. Various files for reference are spread out on the floor and placed everywhere. , there isn’t even much room left to stay.

In the center of the room, Leng Zhu sat on the floor with two dark circles under his eyes, immersed in searching for information. After seeing Zuo Lingquan, he shrank his neck slightly and pointed at the desk with a look like, 'Master Zuo, you have caused trouble, please wish for yourself.' .

Behind the desk, Jiang Yi, dressed in a red dress, sat quietly with a meticulous expression, thinking carefully about the case file, as if she was not interested in Zuo Lingquan's return at all. After Zuo Lingquan came in, he raised his eyes and glanced up and down:

"Come back?"

Zuo Lingquan understood Jiang Yi's temper and didn't mind it at all. He walked to the desk and said with a smile:

"Yes. Why is the princess not happy at all when the prince consort is back?"

Jiang Yi is indeed not very happy!

Jiang Yi put down the gold pen, first looked at the painting boat outside, and then said:

"Leng Zhu, please go down and rest first."

Leng Zhu didn't say much, got up and ran out, closing the door.

Zuo Lingquan felt that Jiang Yi was not just pretending, but really wanted to deal with him. He was slightly confused, picked up Jiang Yi, sat down on the chair, let her sit on his lap, and said with a smile:

"Have I been missing for the past few days and made the princess worried? Don't worry, I will be careful in the future and this won't happen again..."

Jiang Yi was indeed worried about Zuo Lingquan, but that was not what she wanted to talk about now; she was forced to sit in Zuo Lingquan's arms, a little unhappy, and moved slightly away, putting on a serious face:

"Don't be so sentimental. Who is worried about you? Let me ask you, what happened just now?"

"Huh? What happened just now?"

"Playing dumb, right?"

Jiang Yi glanced in the direction of the boat again, then leaned closer and whispered:

"When I came in just now, I saw that you and the Dowager Empress were very close, almost cheek to cheek. The Dowager Empress said that her eyes hurt and asked you to see what you can see clearly from such a close distance."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yi came face to face in front of Zuo Lingquan. The distance and angle were similar to the scene he had just seen.

As Jiang Yi expected, the two people's lips touched each other, and her eyes widened a bit, showing an incredible look.

Zuo Lingquan's expression was slightly stiff, he had already been asked to kiss, and he wanted to gag Jiang Yi and make Jiang Yi confused by the kiss.

But Jiang Yi's heart was full of jealousy, so she wouldn't be knocked down by a kiss. After she recalled the past feeling for a while, she quickly separated and looked at Zuo Lingquan with slightly fierce eyes:

"You are so brave! I am the Dowager Princess of Dayan, the grandmother of Emperor Dayan. How dare you... how dare you..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what the concubine was thinking in her heart. The concubine also told him not to mention this matter to anyone else. Seeing that Jiang Yi saw through it at a glance, he could only explain:

"It's not what you think..."

"It's all mouth to mouth, isn't it what I thought? Then what are you doing? Are you practicing the techniques?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yi's beautiful face was shocked and she said in disbelief:

"You're not really 'cultivating', are you?"

Zuo Lingquan shook his head quickly: "No, um... it's a long story. I did accidentally kiss you just now, but strictly speaking it was a misunderstanding."

"What kind of cultivation do you have, Princess Taifei? Can she accidentally bump into you mouth to mouth?"

"Alas~ This is not easy to explain..."

"It's hard to explain, but you have to explain it clearly."

Jiang Yi's eyes were serious, and there was still anger on her cheeks, but the anger was not directed at Zuo Lingquan. Her eyes pointed at the pile of files on the table:

"It's okay if you and the Concubine don't know each other. It's just a side room in the house that can be beaten. I think about the overall situation and won't argue with you. But if the Concubine and you don't know each other, I can't bear it... ..."? ?

Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment, a little confused:

"Is this...is there any difference?"

Jiang Yi suppressed the jealousy under her eyes and said angrily:

"Of course there is. If you are so bold as to seduce someone else's Crown Princess, you can only be regarded as stubborn. As the head wife, I won't be jealous. But the Crown Princess is interested in you, but she is too bullying!"

"Um?"

"You still don't understand? In the past year, I have been working very hard for the Anti-Monster Division, but I have been helping the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine acts as a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all the official business to me, and then turns around and goes out, taking the I can't even see you face to face with my concubine and travel around the mountains and rivers. Do you think that I am the master of suffering? What evil did I do in my previous life to deserve this cowardice..."

The more Jiang Yi thought about it, the angrier she became. She was afraid of being heard by the vixen outside, so she didn't dare to speak too loudly. As a result, she almost cried, her eyes were red, she felt wronged and angry, and she wanted to bite the heartless man in front of her to death.

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a moment and found that the concubine was a bit inappropriate. Fortunately, this was not the case. He quickly hugged Jiang Yi tighter, rubbed his back with his hands, and comforted softly:

"Don't cry, don't cry. How could the concubine do such a thing?"

"Who is crying? Tell me clearly, what is going on? Otherwise...otherwise I will go back to Dadan with my aunt, and you can live your happy life by yourself. I left a good princess behind and came here to be a fox... …snort……"

"Isn't this the day after the disaster? I'm a little excited and eager to go home. But the concubine was attacked at sea, her soul was traumatized and she was in a trance. I just want to cheer her up..."

"Then you seduce others, relatives? Haha~ This method can really cheer people up..."

"Oh~ No, I was just joking with Princess Toffee, just like you were together before, deliberately teasing her or something. But Princess Toffee didn't respond at all, so I thought of forcibly kissing her to scare her..."? ?

Jiang Yi's eyes were stunned: "What kind of brain circuit do you have?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it just came up on impulse."

Zuo Lingquan also felt that there was something wrong with his brain circuit. He sighed:

"I thought the concubine would hide, but she was so depressed that she didn't react at all, and then..."

Jiang Yi frowned: "Are you fooling a ghost?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan also felt that he was fooling others, but this was indeed the case. He spread his hands slightly:

"I do have some impulsiveness, but the Princess Toffee probably didn't take the initiative to cater to you. She ran away after talking to you, looking very angry, and she hasn't shown up yet...

"As for what you are talking about, it is 100% impossible. You and I both know the character of the Dowager Empress. She is not the kind of woman who likes to play tricks on others. If that was the case, you would have started helping the Dowager Concubine with errands last year. The first time Princess Toffee accompanied me was when we were hunting ghosts in Zezhou. Is it possible that Princess Toffee had already taken a liking to me at that time? "

Jiang Yi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that no matter how handsome or powerful Zuo Lingquan was, it would be impossible for Shangguan Lingye, who was born as a beautiful girl in the sky, to fall in love at first sight, so the two of them would probably fall in love over time...

"well……"

Jiang Yi originally wanted to continue talking about this matter, but the Dowager Empress was in the courtyard, and she didn't know if she could hear her even though she was so powerful, so she stopped asking in detail and waved her hand:

"That's all, I can't control you anyway, you can figure it out on your own. If you cause trouble, just don't implicate Dadan... Huh! If you dare to have evil thoughts on Princess Dayan now, when your cultivation level is high, I guess... Even the ancestor... ugh..."

"Hey! Don't dare say this nonsense..."

Zuo Lingquan quickly raised his hand to cover Jiang Yi's mouth, picked her up and walked to the boudoir next door:

"Forget it, go to sleep. The place I went to is not spiritual. I almost starved to death in the past few days. I only have a thatched bed to sleep on..."

Jiang Yi looked panicked and a little shy at first, but after hearing this, she became suspicious again:

"You and the concubine are sleeping together?"

"How is that possible? They sleep in turns."

"For those of you who are away from home, why don't you make do with it?"

"You have to keep vigil, don't think nonsense."

"What do you mean by wishful thinking? If you don't have to keep vigil, would you just 'follow the authority when the matter arises'?"

"Well……"

"Ha~ I knew it...eh? Jingxun, why are you here..."
