Chapter 85: Living in the Same Room

Living in the Same Room

After comforting Nie Jinhui, Nie Jinxuan left with Yin Fengzhan. Once the two returned to their room, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but frown and say,

"I always feel that there is something strange about this matter."

As she spoke, Nie Jinxuan sat down on a chair nearby. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan also furrowed his brows, sat down as well, and then unfolded the note in his hand.

Yin Fengzhan did not speak. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but cast her gaze on the note in his hand.

"Can you tell who wrote it?"

"Not clear, but looking at the handwriting, it should be from a man's hand."

"A man?! Could it be the Crown Prince?"

She spoke reflexively, but then Nie Jinxuan dismissed this possibility herself!

After all, if Yin Fenghan really had intentions toward Nie Jinhui, he could have found many ways to do so, and would not have done something as obvious as leaving a note. Moreover, the Moon-Gazing Pavilion was very close to here, so if things didn't go as planned, it would certainly be easy for others to discover. Therefore, from this point alone, it could be judged that tonight's incident was not planned by Yin Fenghan.

Therefore, it could be said that Yin Fenghan was not lying! At least he was not lying about running into Nie Jinhui by chance! So, the note was not left by Yin Fenghan, but it was absolutely possible that he had a sudden improper thought after running into Nie Jinhui!

But this raised another question: was Yin Fenghan's appearance tonight also arranged by someone?! Or was it really all just a coincidence?!

At the same time, setting aside the factor of Yin Fenghan, the most critical point was, who would leave a note to ask Nie Jinhui to go out? And what would be the purpose?

Moreover, the note didn't specify who it was for... wait! Could it be...

Instantly, a thought flashed through her mind, and Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but turn to look at Yin Fengzhan beside her.

"Yin Fengzhan, there is no name on that note, could it be that it wasn't meant for the Second Sister at all?"

Nie Jinxuan raised the question, but upon hearing this, Yin Fengzhan didn't even look at her and said directly in a low voice,

"If it wasn't for her, then it was for you!"

"Uh..."

Yes, Yin Fengzhan was right! That room was Nie Jinhui's. And before, because Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan were having a conflict, she insisted on living with Nie Jinhui. Therefore, if that handwriting wasn't left for Nie Jinhui, it was for her.

So, thinking of this, after a brief moment of being stunned, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but ponder deeply, and then she shook her head.

"It shouldn't be. I don't remember anyone who would contact me. Besides, I don't know many people in this villa, so who would look for me?!"

"At least you know more people than she does!"

"Uh..."

With one sentence, Yin Fengzhan once again left Nie Jinxuan speechless. After all, Yin Fengzhan was right; she, Nie Jinxuan, knew few people, but Nie Jinhui was not a member of the imperial family, and she never went out, so wouldn't she know even fewer people?!

Nie Jinxuan was speechless, and for a time, the room became quiet. After a long while, Yin Fengzhan pursed his lips and put the note away. Seeing him like this, Nie Jinxuan sighed inwardly and stood up.

"Since that's the case, I'm going back!"

Saying this, Nie Jinxuan walked toward the door. But at this moment, Yin Fengzhan instantly grabbed her.

Suddenly, being pulled by Yin Fengzhan like this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned, turned her head sharply, and frowned.

"Yin Fengzhan, what are you doing grabbing me? Let go!"

"Where are you going!"

"Where am I going? To rest, of course!"

"This is your room!"

"You..."

Nie Jinhui didn't know what Yin Fengzhan meant. She forced herself to calm down, and then Nie Jinxuan shook off Yin Fengzhan's large hand.

"Fine, then I'll have Xiao Xiu call the Second Sister here to rest!"

Nie Jinxuan was a little angry. But upon hearing this, Yin Fengzhan narrowed his eyes and reached out to pull Nie Jinxuan back.

"If you want everyone in the villa to know that your Second Sister had an incident tonight, then go ahead and call her over!"

After saying this, Yin Fengzhan didn't care what Nie Jinxuan wanted to say, let go of her, and then stood up and walked toward the bed.

……

Actually, Yin Fengzhan was right. After all, this incident tonight was not glorious. If she, Nie Jinxuan, hadn't gone to the Zi Feng Lin today, she could naturally say that she was unwell and had her Second Sister accompany her. But now that she was not only better but also jumping around helping Prince Rui catch snakes, no one would believe that excuse anymore.

So at this time, if she still had Nie Jinhui come over, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of outsiders. If things went wrong and the matter spread, it would be truly bad.

Therefore, thinking of this, although Nie Jinxuan was unwilling in her heart, considering the severity of the situation, she had no choice but to compromise.

Living in the same room with Yin Fengzhan again, Nie Jinxuan still felt somewhat awkward, but now, she had no other choice. So, helplessly, Nie Jinxuan had no choice but to walk to the dressing table, take off her hair accessories, wash up, and then walk toward the bed... But just as she turned around, Nie Jinxuan was stunned and couldn't help but shout in a low voice,

"Yin Fengzhan, get up!"

It turned out that while Nie Jinxuan was busy at the dressing table, Yin Fengzhan had also simply washed up, taken off his outer robe, and lay down on the bed!

At this moment, hearing Nie Jinxuan's clamor, Yin Fengzhan didn't even look at her, closing his eyes and remaining silent, completely ignoring Nie Jinxuan!

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan, who was already feeling depressed, became angry. She took a few large steps and rushed to the bed.

"Yin Fengzhan, get up! You slept on the bed last time, it's my turn this time, get up!"

Nie Jinxuan didn't want to discuss "ladies first" with him, but the most basic principle of fairness should still apply, right! But at this moment, no matter what Nie Jinxuan said, Yin Fengzhan, who was lying on the bed, didn't move at all, and didn't even open his eyes!

"You..."

Nie Jinxuan was so angry she couldn't speak again, but then, Nie Jinxuan pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, stepped forward, grabbed Yin Fengzhan's arm, and pulled hard...

But Nie Jinxuan was a woman after all; how could she compare in strength to Yin Fengzhan, who knew martial arts?! So after pulling and tugging for a long while, not only did Nie Jinxuan fail to move Yin Fengzhan, but she was also exhausted! But Nie Jinxuan had a stubborn temper; knowing she couldn't pull the man on the bed, she still didn't give up. But then, just as Nie Jinxuan was about to exert force again, she saw Yin Fengzhan, who hadn't moved at all, suddenly reach out and pull Nie Jinxuan, who was by the bed, into his arms.

"You'd better behave! If you don't want everyone in the villa to know tomorrow, lie down and sleep now! Of course, if you insist on sleeping on the long bench, I have no objection!"

With his eyes closed, Yin Fengzhan spoke in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but be furious. But just as she wanted to say something, she closed her mouth and shook off Yin Fengzhan's hand.

"Want me to sleep on the long bench? Not a chance!"

Saying this, Nie Jinxuan glared fiercely at the man beside her, then simply pulled the quilt completely to her side, and said hatefully,

"Sleeping on the bed is sleeping on the bed, don't think I'm afraid of you. But Yin Fengzhan, listen to me, if you dare to touch me, tomorrow I will tell everyone in the villa that you broke into the Imperial Palace before and poisoned me!"

Nie Jinxuan used her trump card. After speaking, she pulled the quilt over her head and turned over to sleep. Only then did Yin Fengzhan, who had been lying inside the bed with his eyes closed, move slightly, slowly open his eyes to look at the woman who had wrapped herself into a rice dumpling, and a flash of indescribable complexity crossed his eyes...

That night, Nie Jinxuan still didn't sleep very well. Because there was a man beside her, Nie Jinxuan was always uneasy. Finally, until the sky turned white, Nie Jinxuan couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell into a daze. Even so, she still clutched the quilt tightly, not relaxing at all...

Therefore, it was conceivable that this night, rather than resting, Nie Jinxuan was actually more tired than if she had worked for a whole day. When Nie Jinxuan opened her eyes again, she found that Yin Fengzhan was no longer there.

Suddenly, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, she saw Xiao Xiu walking in from outside.

"Consort, you're awake. Someone is looking for you outside."

Xiao Xiu said softly, and while speaking, she didn't forget to skillfully hand the clothes to Nie Jinxuan. Upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, who was still getting dressed, was stunned.

"Looking for me? Who is it?"

"This servant is not sure, but the person who just passed the message said that after the Consort wakes up, please go to Tingyuge."

"Tingyuge?"

"Yes."

"…En, alright, I know."

After responding to Xiao Xiu, Nie Jinxuan began to wash up and tidy her appearance. After eating a simple breakfast, Nie Jinxuan took Xiao Xiu and headed straight for Tingyuge.

……

Tingyuge was located in the northeast corner of Zuixiashanzhuang, so compared to the carved beams and painted buildings elsewhere, Tingyuge was much more quiet and elegant. The courtyard where Nie Jinxuan lived was not very far from Tingyuge, so after a short while, Nie Jinxuan arrived at the corridor outside Tingyuge.

At this moment, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but stop, looked up, and sure enough, she saw a man sitting inside Tingyuge. The man was dressed in white as snow, with an otherworldly appearance... who else could it be but Prince Rui, Yin Fengxiang?! ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
