The Second Volume of Case within a Case: The Granary of Heaven Chapter 22 A Beautiful Little Red Hat

  Looking for pink tickets, thank you thank you thank you.

  I slowly opened the note given by Nangong Qiuyue, on which was a row of elegant small characters, earthworm... culture...

  "I don't understand." I threw it back to Nangong Qiuyue, Nangong Qiuyue smiled and took it back, her fingertips lightly touched, he suddenly grasped my hand: "Why are your hands still so cold?"

  "Alright." I withdrew my hand and put it back under the quilt. He let out a sigh: "Let's do this instead, I'll seal your acupoints first, store away most of your inner energy to prevent you from losing control and putting your life in danger."

  "Alright, have it your way. By the way, what's written on that note?"

  A flash of surprise crossed Nan Gong Qiuyue's face as he stared at mine: "You... aren't pretending not to understand?"

  I rolled my eyes: "No, it's not that. The handwriting is too sloppy and I just can't read it." Don't even mention classical Chinese, even in simplified characters, what our leader writes is usually illegible to me - the standard is such that they're all masters of cursive script.

  "Hehehe." Nangong Qiuxue lowered his head and laughed, I irritably hit him once: "Don't laugh, speak quickly."

  "Good." He unfolded the note, "Meet tomorrow at dawn."

  I waited for a while, and Nangong Qiuxue gazed at me, then fell silent.

  "Is it over?"

  "Alright, it's done."

  "What does this mean?"

  "Madam, this pigeon flew from the Leng's house to the Chunyu's courtyard." Nan Gong Qiuyue's expression was as calm as ever, but her eyes revealed a deep meaning.

  I was stunned, and Nan Gong Qiuyue's eyebrows furrowed again: "So I don't know how to tell her about this for the time being. What do you think I should say?"

  Taking a deep breath, he snatched the note from Nan Gong Qiuye's hand, tore it to pieces and stuffed it back into his hand: "How long has this been going on?"

  "Since we last went shopping together with four people."

  "Alright, we're pen pals now. Don't say anything else, I'll take care of it."

  "How are you doing?"

  "I have my own way of doing things anyway."

  "Do you want me to help?"

  "It doesn't matter."

  "Why didn't Madam take advantage of this? It was probably the Empress's idea to have Chunyu cook for Jia Mingkai."

  "Take the opportunity to get rid of Jun Yu?"

  "En." Nangong Qiuyue's expression turned serious. "So Qiuyue also thinks this is a good opportunity."

  "A good opportunity?" I looked at Nan Gong Qiu Yue, Nan Gong Qiu Yue looked at me, our eyes met, and we stared at each other for a long time. "I won't!" I was the first to look away, refusing to accept the idea that Nan Gong Qiu Yue was forcing on me.

  "Why?"

  I like him.

  Obviously feeling Nan Gong Qiuyue's body stiffen, his usual calm expression solidified, and suddenly, he grasped my arm: "You can't!"

  "I love his dishes!" I pulled back my arm, "There are many kinds of likes, I admire him, without his dishes I would not be able to live! Moreover, besides Chun Yu Shan Shan, Xuan Yuan Yi Fei will also send someone, he just needs to issue a decree saying 'bestowed marriage', who knows which Zhang San Li Si I'll end up marrying? Chun Yu looks good, the food is delicious, now familiar with his personality, why find an unfamiliar enemy for myself?"

  Nangong Qiuxue listened quietly, her gentle profile painted with a layer of golden light in the dense evening glow.

  I withdrew my gaze and hugged my knees: "Anyway, it's harming Chunyu, I don't agree."

  What followed was a stretch of silence. I turned my face to look at the inner wall, and in the room, there were only the soft sounds of my and Nangong Qiuyue's breathing.

  "Qiū Yuè knew, Qiū Yuè was too impatient."

  "What's wrong?" I turned back to him, "What are you in a hurry for?"

  "He looked towards the door: 'She's back...'"

  "She?"

  All that could be seen was a small figure running under the deep sunset, he ran very anxiously, and when entering the door, he was still tripped by the half-foot high threshold, even Xiao Ruo couldn't catch up with his footsteps.

  "Are you okay?! Are you alright?!" He hastily ran to my bedside, climbed onto the bed, carefully examined my arms, hands, body, and even lifted up my blanket to check my legs. I rolled my eyes speechlessly, worried that there was something wrong with her own body.

  Unconsciously, I saw Nan Gong Qiuxue, who had unknowingly turned his back on us. He sat with his back to us, wrapped in golden sunlight, and the floating dust around him made him appear hazy.

  "It's okay, it's fine..." Xiaojiao hugged my body and buried her face in my chest, although it wasn't very big...

  "I... I'm fine, it's just that I accidentally moved your inner energy, and as a result, I didn't control it well, so..."

  "Autumn Yu!" Xiaojiao shouted immediately, and Nangong Autumn Yu's back hesitated for a moment before turning around, I was already dressed neatly.

  "Didn't I tell you to teach her how to control her breath?" Xiaojiao pointed at Nangong Qiuyue's nose, Nangong Qiuyue shook her head helplessly: "Qingya, why are you learning from her and becoming more impulsive? You've forgotten, this breathing technique can't be mastered in just one or two years. If you rush, you won't achieve it."

  "Ah, I forgot, I just know I have internal energy..." Xiao Jiu sat on my leg with a lost expression. I comfortingly patted his back: "Don't worry, Qiu Yue said to seal my acupoints first, so the true energy won't run wild."

  "Ah..." Xiaojiao smiled with relief, "As expected, Qiuyue thought of everything."

  "Madam......" A ghostly cry came from the doorway, and everyone looked towards it. It was Xiao Ruo, she was leaning against the door, panting, "Madam... are you okay?"

  Everyone looked at Xiaoyao together and laughed, laughing so much that Xiaoyao had a bewildered expression.

  The golden sunset gradually receded, and the night curtain quietly descended.

  As for Chun Yu Shan Shan, I have a private mind, I really like his dishes, and I even want to marry him. Of course, I regard him as a good friend, so when I received the note from Nan Gong Qiu Yue, my first reaction was to hide it from Feng Qing Ya.

  It's not that I don't want to help Chun Yu and Leng Yue Yao, but it can't be done by framing him like this. If Chun Yu leaves the Guardian Manor with a reputation ruined, he'll be wearing a green hat of shame, his body covered in stains, yet having no way to clear his name. How could he possibly have the face to marry Leng Yue Yao then?

  Even if Leng Yueying married him, she would probably be just a lady-in-waiting.

  I don't want to see Xun Yu like this, or I will feel heartache.

  Unconsciously, I walked into a stone path. The moonlight faintly sprinkled on the path, only illuminating my solitary figure. I didn't let Nangong Qiuxue follow me; it's better to have fewer people present for this kind of thing.

  Apart from the courtyard of the protector's mansion, I had never been to anyone else's courtyard, so as I walked along this road, my heart was also filled with a hint of tension.

  "Hmm...hmm..." As I walked, I took deep breaths, feeling like I was going to break up someone's family, what a sin.

  She was once just a speck of ordinary dust, and fate's misfortune almost reduced her to nothing.

  She was once an innocent girl, lamenting the hardships of life but yearning for a bright and beautiful future.

  But her identity was like an invisible hand manipulating her.

  However, the palace's sudden movement quietly stimulated her.

  Having suffered the worst of hardships, how can one not strive to be a superior being!
