The Scheming Young Master - C48 skinning countdown

The jade produces abundant Ye, the silk grain has the spirit.

Legend has it that there was a spiritual jadestone hidden in the darkness, and it looked no different from an ordinary stone.

Luo Yi dragged her feet slowly and moved back onto the bed. The candlelight was extinguished by her blow. The room suddenly fell into a deathly silence, but the person lying on the bed was not the least bit sleepy. Her pair of eyes were wide and round, vividly depicting what it meant to be “bright and full of spirit”.

She did not move until her eyes had become accustomed to the darkness and were able to see through the thin window paper that leaked into the moonlight. She pursed her lips and ran for a while.

This was not the first time that man came to deliver to her, he had already left the palace on the first day of their visit to the greenhouse. At that time, Luo Yi still did not know where he went, but seeing this unfamiliar new commander, she was a little surprised.

The man opposite him shook his head and took out a letter from his chest pocket, “The thieves are jealous of our border lands. Mr. Wen, like the Emperor, has requested to go up and kill the enemy.”

Luo Yi was startled by her words, and was unable to react to what she meant.

At that time, it was also a night like today. The new commander came like a thief, wanting to cover his face with a layer of black cloth that could not be seen through.

He held a corner of the letter, and the rest of the letter fell limply to the ground. It was as if the person in front of him was not some esteemed lady with the most status, but rather a lethal poison that could seal one’s throat with blood.

Luo Yi quickly regained her senses and took the letter.

Luo Yi scanned the contents of the letter and realized that it was mostly full of nonsense. As for why he wanted to write this letter, she didn’t say anything about it, as if the person who wrote the letter just remembered his feelings on a whim and left a few words at the end of it in a very serious manner — — May the Mother write a peaceful letter.

“Exhibition of a letter” was a word that would normally be written on the top of a letter, but Wen Shili was extremely strange, and he insisted on leaving the letter as the last line. When Luo Yi finished reading the letter, she stuffed it into her sleeves and politely asked the man what else he wanted.

Gone.

The new commander thought seriously for a while. After confirming that he did not say a single word, he cautiously shook his head and left after bowing.

He looked honest and sincere. He was not like Wen Shili who was repelling people from thousands of miles away, nor was he like Mu Yizhou who was emitting the aura of calculation. When he retreated, he even took away the piece of debris that Luo Yi had left at the door just now.

A rare honest man.

Then, the bowl sized crescent moon rose up again, as if it had gone through several cycles of reincarnation. In the end, it stopped a few days later, and the image of the Esteemed Empress Yi, who was still running on the bed, appeared.

Presumably, it was about time. Luo Yi pulled herself out from her reminiscence, sat down on the bedside slowly, found her shoes, put on a coat she casually fished out before putting it on, and walked out.

Her room was always filled with strange people at night, so for safety’s sake, Luo Yi did not arrange for the night watchmen to come to the front of her room. The palace maids that served her did not have to do so, since it was difficult for her to wake up after sleeping anyway.

He was so far away that he could not even see if the shadow was a human or a ghost. Luo Yi did not panic as he slowly walked over, and only when he could clearly see the man’s face did he stop, pretending to be confused as he asked: “You did not sleep at night, why are you running over to guard my door?”

“Furthermore, it is not the New Year, so even if you stay for the night, I will not give you the New Year’s money.”

Luo Yi’s expression was natural, her tone was gentle, but the air revealed a sense of nervousness, as if there was a hidden blade in her smile.

The person in front of him unconsciously pinched the hem of his robe until it turned white. Only then did he whisper, “Empress …”

She was stuck there, as if she did not know what to do next, she secretly looked at Luo Yi, as though she was afraid, but also testing him.

Luo Yi allowed her to size him up, with her scarily patient patience. When she had the time, she would run a few steps away, and it was unknown what fun she was thinking about in her heart, which turned into a smirk when it appeared on her face.

Qing Luo worriedly asked: “It’s already so late, where is the Empress going?”

“Don’t you know where we’re going?” Luo Yi strangely glanced at her, but she could not hear the slightest ridicule in her voice. It caused Qing Luo’s face to instantly go pale, and then, as if she was trying to pull him out of the situation, she said, “I’ll go and take a look at the crown prince … What? You want to go as well? ”

“Then follow me.” she said kindly.

Qing Luo’s face became even more pale, the last bit of blood on her lips had already faded, but Luo Yi was already past her, walking forward, Qing Luo grinded her teeth for two seconds, but she still followed along.

The crown prince’s room was in complete darkness. Hong Xiang stayed outside and dozed off, his head knocking down little by little. His entire body, however, strangely maintained its stability.

Qing Luo fawningly stepped forward and patted her awake. She turned her head to look at Luo Yi with an undetectable fawning tone: “Wake up! “The Empress has come.”

“Who?” Hong Xiang mumbled in a daze. His brain, which was invaded by heavy sleepiness, suddenly woke up at this moment, his body, which could even maintain a balance in his dreams, tilted the moment his master was awake, and almost fell to the ground in an extremely indecent position.

Qing Luo quickly supported her.

Hong Xiang raised his head and returned a grateful look, but he did not have the time to speak. In a hurry, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Yi: “This servant greets the Empress.”

“Where’s the Crown Prince?” Luo Yi walked over, and asked as she touched the door frame.

“Sleeping in the house! The crown prince was exhausted from his hard work today, so he fell asleep upon touching the bed. ”

Maybe because he was afraid to disturb the person inside the room, Hong Xiang lowered his voice when he said this.

“Yes.” Luo Yi replied softly, her fingertip no longer taking the next step after getting close to the door. After a while, she suddenly retracted her hand, and sighed in her heart a few times, then turned around and walked outside.

“…” “Empress?” Qing Luo anxiously and doubtfully called out.

Luo Yi didn’t pay attention to hshe, but before she left, he didn’t forget to remind Hong Xiang, “It’s cold at night, so you don’t have to stand guard here all the time. Go back to your own room and sleep … Before you go back, remember to make yourself a cup of ginger tea in case you catch cold. ”

Hong Xiang was overwhelmed by the unexpected favour as he knelt on the ground and expressed his gratitude several times.

As Qing Luo listened to this chain of warnings, her hands unconsciously tightened.

She was still following behind Luo Yi, but she had actually turned her head to look at her with an inexplicable expression after taking two steps away: “Why are you still following me? Go back to sleep. ”

Her voice was neither cold nor hot, and it revealed a sense of estrangement that could not be concealed.

Qing Luo’s words were stuck in her throat, she opened his mouth with much difficulty to say something, but before she could finish, Luo Yi had already snatched it away, “Although I have always been played around like a fool, it doesn’t mean that I won’t hold a grudge. If you were willing to stay in my Hall of Announcements, it’s not that I can’t afford to have you as an idle person, but you still have to behave appropriately in this world, knowing when to advance and when to retreat. ”

“You have to understand that you didn’t hurt me. That’s the only reason I’m willing to keep you.”

She didn’t care if he understood what she said or not. She turned around and continued walking forward. Luckily, she didn’t follow him. She probably understood what he meant.

The corner of Luo Yi’s mouth raised imperceptibly, yet after leaving the crown prince’s courtyard, she did not rush back to her own room, but rather wobbled her way out of Hall of Announcements.

She had made her decision so she naturally did not see Qing Luo standing in that spot for a while after she left. Then, she lowered her head and walked into the bamboo forest at the side of the road.

The man in the bamboo forest had obviously heard everything that they had said before, so Qing Luo merely called out “Master” in a low voice, but he raised his hand and interrupted what he was about to say.

The man watched Luo Yi’s leaving figure from afar, and a few traces of undetectable frustration crawled up from between his brows.

Too fast.

According to his plan, it was still far from being the time for a showdown, but his plan was full of twists and turns, and any mistake in any one of them would have led to a complete loss, and he was clearly not a good man, for he had taken a step in the wrong direction, so that his plan was as uncontrollable as a wild horse, roaring forward with the force of a wild horse, as if he were trying to clear all the fog he had laid down beforehand.

Was he supposed to say that she was lucky, or was he unlucky?

The man sighed, his unmasked face appearing the truest under the moonlight. If Luo Yi was here and could clearly see his appearance, she would realize that this man possessed a face that was deeply carved into her bones.

But she wasn’t here, so the man had no way of guessing her reaction. He only waved Qing Luo off after a long silence, then lightly tapped his foot on the tip of a bamboo tree that had been bent by his foot, turned in the air, and disappeared from Qing Luo’s line of sight.

After the two of them left, Qing Luo revealed an unexpected look of confusion. Her body helplessly spun around in the bamboo forest, as if she was looking for a way out, and also as if she was simply doing something meaningless. After a long while, she seemed to completely walk out of her daze, and her expression became even more resolute than ever before as she walked towards her own room step by step.

She was just like those legendary pilgrims, walking step by step in absolute piety.

On the other hand, Luo Yi was wobbling along the road, and she himself didn’t know who she was trying to comfort with her slow footsteps.

Maybe it was her, she thought, as long as Chen Liyi was not at the place she guessed, she could continue to close her eyes and cover her ears … … To be a fool who pretended to be deaf and not hear anything, to overturn all her previous guesses, and then calmly return to the safe false image she had created of herself.

How much she believed in that man, and even if fate were to point the source of evil at that man, she would still choose to close her eyes and see him, and that man, along with his words, would grow into a divine presence in her self-deception.

Even the occasional suspicion was tainted.

Therefore, she prayed in her heart, even if the hope was weak, please give her a reason to persevere.

It was a pity that the deities that the world worshipped always had their eyes closed.

This time, there was no one ahead to make a path for her with the sword. Luo Yi had no choice but to continue forward with great difficulty, luckily the grass grew terrifying at the start, and as they went deeper in, it became shallower, and gradually revealed the marble floor.

Presumably, the person who lived here before had an extraordinary status.

The last time she came, she was only outside for a while, so she did not pay much attention to the words written on the dilapidated signboard. Now that she thought about it, she remembered a whole bunch of memories, such as how she had been in the palace for two months and remembered all sorts of routes, so she clearly realized that on the day she entered the palace, the old granny who was leading the way had purposely taken a long detour to guide her through here. She also remembered that she met Chen Liyi on her way, and he said that no one had dared to come here.

Previously, when he heard the palace maids talking about him, he heard them say that “Lin Yi Hall was haunted by ghosts and would find a piece of white bone inside every few days”.

Therefore, there must have been some exaggeration in his words, but generally speaking, the rumors were true. For example, Lin Yi Hall would definitely find out about the human bones.

Luo Yi continued walking forward, her gaze stretched from behind him to the entrance, and saw the signboard that was hung on the door like it was on the verge of collapse.

The years of cobwebs entwined themselves around it, but it did not affect people’s ability to clearly see the huge words “Lin Yi Hall” on it.

She walked deeper and deeper, but she still did not see a single person. Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, he saw a pavilion at the end of the stone road which extended to his right. The people within the pavilion seemed to be panicking, and their voices unconsciously rose up, amplified infinitely by the quiet environment, finally alerting Luo Yi, who was about to leave.

She bit down on her lower lip almost without even realizing it, and her feet felt like they weighed a thousand pounds as she walked towards the pavilion. The closer they walked, the clearer the sounds they heard. When she stopped at a blind spot where both of them could not see, she coincidentally heard a young and tender voice shouting, “My Sister wouldn’t lie to me, it’s definitely because of you!”

Oh. Luo Yi lowered her head. “I’m just lying to you.”

The sudden voice gave the two people who were arguing a fright. Everyone in the pavilion was startled, and they all took a step back to look towards the direction of the voice. Chen Liyi even shouted out loud: “Who is over there!”

Luo Yi slowly appeared in front of the two of them, but she did not even look at Chen Liyi, but his gaze was fixated on the woman with the sinister gaze.

“Sister …”

Chen Liyi’s voice trembled a little, he unconsciously stepped forward, but he was so frightened by the coldness in her voice that she retreated a few steps, and called out again in a hoarse voice: “Sister …”

Luo Yi ignored him, and instead slightly tilted her head to look at Wen Yan who was at the side. Then, with a smile, she said, “I knew it would be you.”

Her voice seemed to sigh, but Wen Yan ignored the fact that Chen Liyi did not speak, as another helpless female voice once again rang beside his ear, “If I had known earlier … I should have killed you back then. “
