Chapter 308 Aren't you blind?
Wen Luozhi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking to herself that doing business here was really lucrative.
Thinking about the locations for the hot pot restaurant and the cosmetics shop, she drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly, the window opened a crack, and a dark figure slipped in silently.
He stood by the bed, reaching out to touch the girl's face, but then abruptly pulled his hand back.
Helian Yue looked down at the calluses on his palms, sighed softly, and spread out the neatly stacked cups beside him to cover Wen Luozhi.
Gu Yunqi, standing outside with a blade of grass in his mouth, was keeping watch for him, but in his heart he was cursing him to the core.
They'd be exhausted if they came back to check on things, but once they got there, they chickened out.
A dim light suddenly came on in a small house, and he quickly hid.
Xia Yunsheng felt her throat was a little dry while she was asleep, so she got up and went to the kitchen to get some water. Her vision was still a little blurry, so she walked along the corner of the wall towards the kitchen.
Gu Yunqi glanced at her but didn't see her clearly. When he finally saw her face, his eyes widened in surprise.
This...this...isn't this the blind young lady I met on the street?!
Before he could even think about why Xia Yunsheng was there, Gu Yunqi watched her walk forward, passing by things that might trip her up.
"Meow"
Just as Xia Yunsheng reached the corner, a cat's meow came from behind.
Gu Yunqi panicked when he saw those two round eyes shining in the darkness.
What if the cat jumps out and hurts her?
Xia Yunsheng only heard the cat meowing and didn't notice where the cat was. She followed the road and accidentally stepped on the cat's tail. "Meow!"
The cat let out a scream, then leaped up and was about to land on Xia Yunsheng's face.
Xia Yunsheng didn't have time to scream; she quickly covered her head with her hands.
At the critical moment, Gu Yunqi rushed out and slapped the wildcat away with a single blow.
"Are you alright, young lady?" His tone carried a hint of nervousness that even he himself didn't realize. He only realized what he had done when he saw Xia Yunsheng's pale face, which had turned pale from fright.
Oh no! How did he show up? Couldn't he have just thrown a stone to chase the stray cat away?
Don't panic!
Knowing that Xia Yunsheng couldn't see, he calmed down.
Xia Yunsheng stared blankly at the man in the night. How could she describe him?
Seeing the moonlight reflected in the eyes of the girl opposite him as she stared at him, Gu Yunqi immediately sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
He swallowed hard and managed to squeeze out a dry sentence: "You...you're not blind?"
Realizing he had said something hurtful, he slapped his mouth and quickly apologized, "I...I meant you can see me?"
Xia Yunsheng smiled faintly and nodded at him.
Before Gu Yunqi could say anything more, a scream shattered the night: "Ah! Thief!"
"Help! Catch the thief!"
Xia Yunshu threw the oil lamp in her hand and rushed towards Xia Yunsheng.
When she was half asleep, she touched the empty space next to her. Thinking that her sister's eyes were not fully healed, she got up to look for her.
I walked a few steps outside and saw people, but there was also a strange man opposite me.
There's no such person in their yard! Something's definitely wrong; a thief has broken in.
Gu Yunqi took off running, and Wen Luozhi inside the house was also awakened by the shouts.
She got up and put on her clothes, sniffing the room and noticing a faint woody scent.
Perhaps because a new cabinet had been purchased, she ran to the yard to see if the person was still there.
Everyone was up, but the thief was nowhere to be seen.
"Sister, are you alright?" Xia Yunshu asked anxiously, turning Xia Yunsheng around and checking her over several times.
Xia Yunsheng shook her head. "That just now..."
"That's incredibly audacious! He dared to do that with so many people in the yard!"
Xia Yunsheng's words were interrupted angrily by Xia Yunshu, who thought about it but ultimately did not offer any further explanation.
Wen Luozhi found it a bit strange. Weren't the shadowy figures and their gang always in the shadows? How come they didn't notice anything?
Maybe it's because I've been too tired these past few days?
She thought about it for a moment and realized that thankfully everyone was alright.
Tomorrow I should go to the children's shop and pick out a few people who know martial arts to bring back; otherwise, I won't feel at ease.
After giving everyone a few instructions, she gathered her clothes and went back into the house.
Worried that the thief would come again, Wen Zixun ignored Wen Luozhi's objections and took a quilt and a recliner to sleep at the door of her room.
Helian Yue's icy gaze from the shadows nearly killed Gu Yunqi.
He hadn't even had enough of looking at Luo'er when this idiot ruined his plans!
That's bad, now we can't sneak in at all.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Gu Yunqi pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'll be more careful next time..."
He never expected that the girl would see it, and although they weren't close, he was still very happy.
The two of them hid in the tree, and just as Gu Yunqi was about to fall asleep leaning against the tree trunk, Helian Yue finally decided to leave.
"Let's come again tomorrow... Anyway, there's no rush in the capital," Gu Yunqi said, catching up with Helian Yue ingratiatingly.
Helian Yue glanced at him indifferently but did not object.
They had already brought Gu Wenhuai out, so Jun Shuyan naturally knew that they had returned.
They probably didn't expect them to act so quickly, did they?
Inside the palace, Jun Shuyan was extremely busy.
Cheng Yan'er placed her hand on his shoulder and gently massaged it. "Your Majesty, why don't you rest for the night? It's already quite late."
Jun Shuyan looked up at her when he heard that soft, almost dripping voice, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Thinking of Helian Yue's recent affairs, he cleared his throat and said, "Consort Qin has mentioned to me several times that she wants to raise Chun'er with her."
"Yan'er, what do you think?"
Although Jun Shuyan seemed to be asking her a question, his tone left no room for refusal.
Cheng Yan'er froze on the spot. Qin Wanyue actually wanted to take her child away?!
Come to think of it, there have been quite a few happy events in the harem since Jun Shusheng's birthday, which must be because of Chu Sangning.
There are currently three concubines who are pregnant, and Qin Wanyue, who is favored by the emperor, is anxious because her belly has not yet shown any signs of pregnancy.
Given that the false pregnancy incident became public knowledge last time, wouldn't she be even more insecure now?
Cheng Yan'er was filled with hatred. She had never coveted anything that didn't belong to her son or to her.
All she wanted was to live a good life with her son!
Qin Wanyue has already dragged her into the power struggles with the concubines time and time again, and now she actually wants her son?
"Your Majesty, Chun'er is still young and cannot be separated from me. He cries and fusses whenever anyone else gets close to him."
"Furthermore, I'm still a little afraid of my older sister because of what happened before."
Cheng Yan'er took a deep breath, and unconsciously increased the pressure on her hands.
The child would be killed if he went there! She would absolutely not agree to it!
Jun Shuyan brushed her hand down and pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's settled then."
"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yan'er called out in a trembling voice, seemingly unable to believe it.
Jun Shuyan waved his hand and said, "Yue'er's personality has changed a lot; she will be a good mother."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out without saying another word to Cheng Yan'er.
Jinxiu, supporting her mistress who was on the verge of fainting with anger, said with a face full of indignation, "My lady, this Consort Qin is really going too far!"
