Chapter 195 It’s not an umbrella, it’s albizzia
Time passed quietly, and soon, thick fog filled the edge of the medicine pool, and a mysterious black shadow quietly approached.
The man in black respectfully walked to Xiao Jinghan's side and reported in a low voice: "Young Master, I need to report something to you. Xiao Xiao is a special woman, she is a government slave. Xiao Jingyi redeemed her and brought her back to Nanyi, and taught her the art of playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and cooking. What's even more surprising is that he even taught her the skills of transmitting intelligence and assassination! I am really worried that this woman may pose a threat to the young master!"
When Xiao Jinghan heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and he revealed a sneer: "How could His Majesty not know what we can find out? A mere official slave has attracted so much attention from Xiao Jingyi. He must be someone who has a deep hatred for Your Majesty! The person who should really be worried is probably the high and mighty His Majesty, not us." His tone was calm, but the deep meaning contained in it made people think deeply.
The man in black lowered his head and remained silent, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he spoke again: "Young Master, what you said is absolutely right. However, just in case, do we need to strengthen the precautions? After all, this woman's identity is unknown, and the skills she has learned are quite dangerous, so we have to be on guard."
A gleam of shrewdness flashed in Xiao Jinghan's eyes, and he nodded: "What you said makes sense. Just send more people to monitor secretly, and don't alert the enemy. In addition, investigate the background of this woman and make sure to get to the bottom of it. If there is a problem, it is better to deal with it in advance." After saying that, he closed his eyes, enjoying the relief and relaxation brought by the medicinal soup.
As night fell and the lights came on, Xiao Jinghan, who had finished his dinner, led a group of guards and walked to the front of Zuiyue Tower. At this time, Luo Lingyue was sitting leisurely on the roof of the highest point of the restaurant, holding a pot of fine wine in her hand, looking at Xiao Jinghan below with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"Prince Xiao, can you come up? Do you need me to prepare a ladder for you?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, with a hint of teasing in it.
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly and did not answer. He used his internal strength and soared into the air like a swallow. After a few jumps, he easily jumped onto the roof and landed steadily beside Luo Lingyue. However, perhaps because he had just used Qinggong, his breath was a little unstable and he was slightly panting.
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of her eye, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that Master Xiao's martial arts are not that good!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Jinghan's face, but he quickly regained his composure and explained with a wry smile, "I was deeply poisoned when I was young, so it's not easy for me to have this little bit of Kung Fu now."
Luo Lingyue took out another pot of wine, looked at the person in front of her, raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Xiao Jinghan, can you drink some? This is Zui Liunian!"
Without saying anything, Xiao Jinghan took the wine jug, touched it lightly with Luo Lingyue's hand, raised his head and took a big gulp. However, the next second he suddenly started coughing violently, frowning and shouting: "This... This is not Zui Liunian!"
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue raised a sly smirk, her eyes full of charm: "How can it not be? This is the genuine Zui Liu Nian! It's just that I tampered with it a little bit and added some golden cherries into it. Don't underestimate it, it's very beneficial to men's health if they drink it!"
When Xiao Jinghan heard this, his originally fair cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. Under the flickering lights of Zuiyue Tower, he looked like a banished immortal who had fallen into the human world.
Luo Lingyue gently took out the exquisite brocade box he had sent her in the morning, opened it carefully, and took out an exquisite hairpin from it. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a slightly ambiguous smile: "Master Xiao! Is the person you are thinking of the legendary Dark Moon Fairy?"
Xiao Jinghan's expression instantly became a little stiff, and his voice became slightly hoarse: "Why do you think so?"
Luo Lingyue chuckled nonchalantly and said, "I always felt that the flower on this hairpin looked familiar, but now I realize that it is exactly the same as the red umbrella in Dark Moon Fairy's hand!"
Xiao Jinghan's face was unusually calm. He slowly explained, "Princess Luo may have misunderstood. The carving on this hairpin is not the red umbrella of Dark Moon Fairy, but the albizzia tree, which symbolizes a happy love."
Luo Lingyue was slightly startled: "Albizia Julibrissin?"
Xiao Jinghan's tone was very calm: "After you reach the age of 15, you and I will be married! That's why I gave you this albizzia hairpin! If Princess Luo finds my action offensive, I can also find another gift for you."
Luo Lingyue couldn't help but be a little stunned. She murmured, "I always thought that the person you were thinking about was her!"
Xiao Jinghan picked up the wine glass again, took a sip, then he said to Luo Lingyue: "Princess Luo! It's getting late, and I should leave now!" After that, he stood up and prepared to turn around and leave.
Luo Lingyue's eyebrows were slightly frowned, revealing a trace of worry: "Xiao Jinghan, will that woman bring you danger?" She stared at him, as if trying to find the answer from his expression.
Xiao Jinghan felt her concern, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He comforted her, "Don't worry, there's no need to worry too much. The secret guards sent by His Majesty have been closely monitoring her every move. If there is any abnormality, they will take action immediately. Moreover, I think she may have other intentions or purposes, and it is not just aimed at me personally." His tone was calm and firm, which made people feel trust.
After Xiao Jinghan left, Luo Lingyue sat alone on the roof, drinking and looking into the distance, with a hint of sadness and loneliness in her eyes.
At this moment, a masked man suddenly flew over. He landed lightly beside Luo Lingyue, then sat down silently. He picked up the wine jug that Xiao Jinghan had drunk from, and took a sip without hesitation.
His eyes fell on Luo Lingyue. Seeing her drunken eyes and sad face, he couldn't help but frowned: "Are you drunk? Are you worried about something?"
Luo Lingyue pouted her lips slightly, her face full of grievance and disappointment: "Blood Shadow! I always thought that the person in his heart was Dark Moon Enchantress! After all, I still have a glimmer of hope! However, that turned out to be not an umbrella, but a cassia flower! Blood Shadow! Alas!" Her eyes revealed endless loneliness.
Xueying sighed helplessly and advised: "Luo Lingyue! Why don't you just tell him that you are Dark Moon Fairy?"
Luo Lingyue shook her head gently, closed her eyes, and sighed deeply: "Xiao Jinghan is such a pure and kind person! How could he accept my identity as the killer of Dark Moon Fairy! Xueying... I think I really like him!" Her voice was full of pain and contradiction.
Xueying looked at the drunken Luo Lingyue with a frown on his face: "Maybe... he doesn't care that you are a killer!"
Luo Lingyue had already fallen asleep, and Xueying's words drifted away in the night wind...
