With such a cold man lying beside her, how could she sleep? Although this assassin made her feel at ease to fall asleep, Yan Xijun didnt dare to really sleep. She was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, planning to wait until the assassin fell asleep before sneaking out of bed.
She didnt expect that the assassin, even though he was asleep, still wouldnt let go of his iron-like big hand, making it difficult for her to even turn over, and she spent the whole night sleeping on her side in his arms, sleeping very lightly. It wasnt until near dawn that she finally fell asleep.
"Miss, miss, are you awake?"
A most inopportune shout startled Yan Xijun awake from her slumber, she rubbed her bleary eyes and gazed at the large landscape screen in front of her bed.
"Miss, Im coming in!"
Yahuan heard the sound of the qin again, and faintly heard the soft creaking sound of the door opening, accompanied by a slight rustling sound.
Yan Xijuns mind suddenly flashed back to last nights scene, she and the assassin slept together for a night, wasnt that...?
She was frightened and quickly looked around to the side, but there was no one beside her. The assassin seemed to have left long ago. She let out a deep breath, fortunately, hes gone.
When did that assassin leave? How could I sleep so soundly and not feel his departure at all? Are assassins really those kinds of mysterious figures who come and go without a trace?
Yan Xijun didnt have time to think much, Yinger heard Qin had already stepped into the inner chamber, she stood still in front of the screen and softly asked: "Miss, are you awake?"
Yan Xijun lazily stretched and responded: "Mm, come serve me!"
Xun Qin put down the washing utensils on a nearby shelf, wetted a towel and handed it to Yan Xijun, then helped her get dressed, and finally did her hair and makeup.
"Miss, there was a disturbance of assassins last night, and I heard they even ran to your place. This matter has alarmed the Emperor, and he has also been summoned. So didnt you see the Emperor last night?" Wen Qin asked curiously while combing Yan Xius long black hair with a jade comb.
Yan Xijun slightly furrowed her brow, pondering for a moment before saying: "Hear the zither, since you were young, youve followed me, so you should know my temperament. Have you forgotten what Aunt Xu warned us about before entering the palace? Matters in the imperial palace are best not discussed, as it will only bring unnecessary trouble."
With a pause in her playing, she said cleverly: "Miss, I know, next time I wont discuss these matters again."
"Uh-huh," Yan Xijun nodded: "Wenqin, remember from now on, no matter what happens in the palace, you must not discuss it privately, and dont easily believe anyone, got it?"
In this dark and mysterious palace, anything can happen and anyone can be found. The imperial consorts are all vying for favor and love, using every trick in the book, both overt and covert. Someone as simple and innocent as Wen Qin is the easiest to take advantage of.
"I, a slave, understand. From now on, when I hear the zither, I will only believe Miss." Wenqin nodded as if she understood, but didnt really get it. These past few days in the palace, because she was Yan Xijuns maid, the other servants didnt dare to bully her, but those maids brought by the various concubines all looked at her with disapproval. She also knew that they were just jealous of her.
"Hehe, sometimes you shouldnt believe me too much!" Yan Xijun sighed and said that the harem was a big dye vat, she didnt dare to guarantee that she wouldnt become a sinister person with ulterior motives in the future.
"What did Miss say? Ive been following you since I was a child, and in this life, I only get close to Miss. If even I dont believe Miss, who can be believed? Doesnt Miss like me anymore?" Wenqin said these words with slightly red eyes and a choked expression.
"Ive never disliked you, as you said in this palace, youre the closest person to me. But sometimes, one needs to be cautious and rely on oneself. Im afraid that if I become too close to you, Ill end up hurting you like others who have become ruthless." Yan Xijun sighed, speaking more words of wisdom than she ever had before, hoping that Wen Qin would understand her and be able to survive in the palace.
Miss, no matter how bad you become, I think its not that bad, as long as I can follow you, Im not afraid of this treacherous palace.
