Chapter Twenty-Nine: Embarrassed (4)
Ah Jiu and Xiao Yu looked at each other in disbelief, and both shook their heads secretly. It seems that the rumors in the public that this Lu Gui is a "demon fool" are indeed true.
However, when they waited for Lu Gui to leave and looked through the grass again, they found that there was nothing in it.
Only the faint evil spirit and a familiar smell remained inside, which made them sure that what was hidden inside must be a vixen!
After Lu Gui chased for a long time without seeing the shadow of the vixen, he heard a voice from behind him: "Master Lu, that vixen was let go by the two witches just now..."
…
After returning to Lingquan Palace, Ah Jiu was about to ask Thirteen Xingshi to accuse him, but as soon as he entered the gate of Liangxi Pavilion, he saw from a distance that the lights in the library were on.
She was startled, and didn't care to look for Thirteen anymore. She walked directly to the library, and sure enough she saw Hui Bao's figure in front of the building door.
Seeing that she was back, Hui Bao changed his anxiety from last time and said pleasantly: "Is Empress Wanyi going for a walk again?"
Ah Jiu nodded and asked in a low voice: "When did your Majesty come?"
"I just came here a while ago and heard that the empress had gone for a walk, so I told her to rest in the building first and let her go straight up when she came back." Hui Bao also replied in a low voice.
Ah Jiu nodded, hurriedly handed the cloak to Xiaoyu, and went up to the library alone without letting her follow.
Since she started organizing the library, there have been many more lanterns in the library, but even so, due to the obstruction of the tall bookshelves, the light in the building is not particularly bright.
However, after she went up to the second floor, she still saw He Bayu sitting on the Taishi chair.
At this time, He Bayu had his eyes closed tightly, and the book in his hand was hanging loosely, about to fall to the ground. He had obviously fallen asleep while sitting down.
Seeing his face blocked by the shadow of a candle, Ah Jiu suddenly thought that he had returned to his previous life.
At that time, they lived outside the Phantom Forest. Although they worked during the day, he still loved to read the books borrowed from the seventh sister at night.
Sometimes when I'm tired of watching, I look like I'm drowsy.
Unknowingly, Ah Jiu was in front of He Bayu. Looking at this tired-looking man, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
Then she moved closer, trying to pull the book out of his hand that was about to fall to the ground.
However, as soon as her hand touched the book, she felt lightened.
Before she could exclaim, she was held in He Bayu's arms and sat on his lap, and what came into view was his serious and handsome face.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Ah Jiu rolled his eyes.
"Yes." He Bayu responded softly, pinched Ah Jiu's chin and said, "Going for a walk again? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at Lingquan Palace?"
"Seeing that Your Majesty has not been here for so long, I thought you were not coming, so I decided to go to the lake to get some fresh air." Ah Jiu had an idea and said, "When did Your Majesty wake up?"
"I woke up as soon as you came up." He Bayu didn't seem to pursue Ah Jiu's intention this time, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "Why, did you go crazy playing outside and felt bored as soon as you came back?
"
"No way?" Ah Jiu smiled, "I brought my guards, and I asked them to follow me!"
Didn't those guards just say whatever she wanted them to say?
