Lin Yilan didn't reply. She fished around the dressing table for a long time before she finally fished out a few bags of things from under the mirror. She took a bag and waved at Xiao Qingying.
Dressing table again? What kind of place was that? The scoundrel who had been hiding under the table in fear of Xiao Qingying's action had already run out and waited for her when he heard that his master was going to eat delicious food. Now that Lin Yilan was looking for something in the dressing table, she knew that there was most likely nothing good. She couldn't help but sympathize with Ying Yun, who was guarding outside.
Ying Yun, who was guarding the door, was completely unaware of the impending disaster. He still focused on being his door god.
The autumn wind in the morning still carried some coolness and moisture. The medicinal fragrance of the Jade Bamboo Pavilion was light and pleasant. An unknown insect chirped in the dew.
It was a quiet autumn morning.
If not for that trace of killing intent.
Ying Yun, who was originally leaning against the wall, had a flash of light in his eyes. He straightened his body, his cold expression did not change, and his grip on the sword tightened.
It was silent, and even the chirping of the insects had disappeared.
All of a sudden, a figure broke through the door and flew towards Ying Yun. Her clothes fluttered in the wind.
Ying Yun, who had been prepared, raised his sword and blocked. He leaned back and turned his body to avoid the menacing attack. He grabbed the wrist of the person who came. The hand holding the sword trembled slightly. The white blade was unsheathed half an inch and was placed on the person's neck.
Xiao Qingying's eyes turned serious. This was indeed not a simple guard!
However, he wanted to subdue her with just two moves? Such a person had not been born yet!
His nimble wrist turned, and his body turned to the side, breaking free from Ying Yun's grip. He turned his body and kicked sideways, using the tip of his foot to kick back the sword that had just been unsheathed.
Ying Yun was also shocked at this moment. He had just probed and knew that this woman's internal injuries were quite serious. However, she was still able to escape from his grappling style. This strength was already not to be underestimated. He immediately gathered his energy and dealt with it seriously.
But this was their plan.
Seeing that Ying Yun had put all his attention on the fight, Xiao Qingying didn't waste any more time. Instead, she took half a step back and swung her sleeves, enveloping Ying Yun in a cloud of white powder.
Ying Yun, who was focused on fighting, never expected her to have such a move. However, although he was not prepared, he did not panic in the face of danger. He immediately held his breath and jumped out of the white smoke. However, before he landed, he lost consciousness in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
Xiao Qingying was also stunned. Ying Yun had reacted quickly. Normally, she wouldn't have fainted if she hadn't inhaled enough, but now…
It seemed that this was not an ordinary fan! She had to be extra careful with the woman inside.
"Solved? Hero, you're so handsome!"
Just as Xiao Qingying was about to check if Ying Yun had really fainted or was faking it, Lin Yilan ran out of the house with a look of admiration on her face, followed by a white furball.
"Let's go!" Lin Yilan, who had regained her freedom, happily stuffed the remaining half-pack of medicinal powder into her bosom and pulled Xiao Qingying out.
Xiao Qingying glanced at Ying Yun, who was lying on the ground, but didn't say anything. She followed Lin Yilan out of the Jade Bamboo Residence.
"Where are we going? The kitchen?" After walking for a while, Xiao Qingying still couldn't get out of the ridiculously large garden. She was a little suspicious. What was going on? Was she a caveman? Why was it so troublesome to eat in such a remote corner? Although he had indeed chosen a place with fewer guards last night, he really did not expect to end up in a godforsaken place!
"Don't go to the kitchen. It's too far. We'll probably be ready for lunch when we get there.”Lin Yilan answered as she led the way," Hero, your current physical condition isn't suitable for long trips. Of course, it's better to be close. Besides…you're not a gentleman who doesn't take revenge!”These words seemed to be said casually, but there was a hidden mystery. Xiao Qingying would be wary if she didn't go to the kitchen when she asked for food. She was worried that Lin Yilan would take her to a place with many guards. Afraid that Xiao Qingying would not go, Lin Yilan continued to say that she was concerned about her health and tried to get close to her, but it might arouse suspicion if she flattered Xiao Qingying. Therefore, Lin Yilan added another sentence," It's good for her to go to this place for dinner. Everyone has their own goals, so Xiao Qingying doesn't have to suspect her." As for the reason why she said " revenge ", the reason was simple. She was there to find trouble. Xiao Qingying didn't have to worry that she would take her to a place with many guards and masters. Besides, her revenge wasn't fake.
"We're here!" Lin Yilan raised her head and looked at the three large words written on the side courtyard before her-Yiqing Pavilion. Without hesitation, she stepped into the side courtyard. Yiqing, Yiqin, that broken qin was placed here!
She really didn't choose this place on purpose. She happened to pass by this place with a hero who wanted to eat! Everything was purely a coincidence!
They entered Yiqing Pavilion without any hindrance. Although this place was quiet and unique, and there were many servants and maids, it was not as luxurious and spacious as Qingshui Pavilion. It did not have a special guard like there. This was probably the so-called time, place, and people?
"Here?" Xiao Qingying was confused. This place looked like the residence of a concubine of a prince's mansion. Why was she here to beg for food?
"Yu Qinxiu is also considered outstanding. That old man must have treated her well, let alone food.”Lin Yilan explained. She turned to Xiao Qingying with a bright smile and said," The environment here is quiet and no one will disturb you. The most important thing is the delicious food and service…As long as you teach me a little, I'm sure I'll be very considerate. I wonder if you're satisfied with this place?"”He sounded as if he was recommending a good restaurant to Xiao Qingying and hoping that she would patronize it.
"Then let's wait until we see the goods first." Xiao Qingying didn't comment. His father had said that ambiguity was the answer that made people gnash their teeth.
However, Lin Yilan wasn't in a hurry. She had a good grasp of Xiao Qingying's personality. Anyway, it was her business whether she came to Yiqing Pavilion or not, as long as she didn't go to her own Jade Bamboo Residence. Sigh, when can I give this Buddha away?
"He's here!" Lin Yilan's eyes lit up. She pointed at the servant girls who were slowly walking out from the corner of the corridor and shouted excitedly. No matter what, the main purpose of coming here was to eat. He had to fill his stomach first so that he would have the strength to cause trouble.
At the other end of the corridor, a group of maids carrying various dishes slowly walked over. They would never have thought that they would actually be robbed in the Imperial Residence, and the target of the robbery was very shocking.
Xiao Qingying looked at the dishes on the tray. The activity of her saliva glands was stronger than that of her brain. For someone like her who was hungry and full, this was definitely a powerful temptation! He temporarily threw Lin Yilan to the side and looked around. He reached out and broke off a branch of the hibiscus by the corridor. Now that the flute and sword were still in that bastard's hands, he could only make do with it and use it as a weapon.
With a wave of his hand, the branch blocked the leading maid with a whistling wind.
A few petals fell with the wind and landed on the ground.
The corner of Xiao Qingying's eyes twitched. As expected, a branch and a sword were incomparable.
It didn't matter. If the deterrence of foreplay was a little weaker, the effect would be the same if he roared a little more fiercely.
"Stop! He put down the things in his hands and squatted to the side with his head in his hands!”His cold voice sent chills down one's spine from head to toe, but the content of his voice almost made Lin Yilan vomit blood.
The maids looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. What did the woman with the flower branch mean?
After a moment of silence, Lin Yilan adjusted her darkened expression, cupped her fists at Xiao Qingying, and said,""Hero, they don't seem to know what it means to hold one's head. Why don't you let me communicate with them?”For girls like them who had been trained in the etiquette of the prince's residence since they were young, how could they have come into contact with the word "hold one's head"?
Seeing that Xiao Qingying didn't show any special reaction, Lin Yilan waved at the maids, signaling them to pay attention. For these maids who rarely thought about problems, their words must be simple and clear. In such a situation, only two words could solve the problem: "Robbery!"
" Robbery?!"
"Ah! Help! Someone come!"
"Robbery! Someone come quickly!"
Sure enough, it was much easier to understand when it was replaced with two words. The originally confused maids immediately became a mess. They did not care about the things in their hands anymore. They threw them away if they could. Running for their lives was more important! This made Xiao Qingying and Lin Yilan anxious. They hurriedly went to pick up the food that had been thrown away, but it was a pity that the scene was too chaotic.
Thus, the two of them realized a problem at the same time: The fate of these dishes was in the hands of these maids, so they had to control these maids in order to control the dishes!
Xiao Qingying immediately plucked the petals off the branch and concentrated her strength on her palm. She flipped her wrist and stretched out her fingers. The soft petals flew out like steel needles. Each petal accurately brushed past the panicked maids 'eyes. At the same time, Lin Yilan shouted,""Stop! If you move again, don't blame the petals for being blind!"
Petals? Why was it so strange to use this word in this vicious threat? Forget it, who cares! Anyway, she only cared about the results.
The two of them cooperated very well for the first time. The group of chaotic maids immediately froze on the spot and did not dare to move. A few of them who had lost their trays halfway were unlucky. They tried their best to hold onto the tray to prevent it from falling, but they did not dare to act rashly and used their other hand to hold it.
The bastard who had been lying on Lin Yilan's shoulder was the first to rush up and grab a chicken drumstick before jumping up the railing to enjoy it. Lin Yilan also seized the opportunity to reach out for the remaining drumstick. Because the maid holding the dish was too calm, most of the chicken drumsticks had rolled down and left countless footprints on the ground. There were only two left on the porcelain white plate. One of them had already been taken by the bastard, and the last one…hehe!
However, things did not go as she wished. Just as Lin Yilan was about to touch the drumstick, another fair hand appeared in her line of sight.
Lin Yilan's hand froze. She looked up and met Xiao Qingying's cold gaze. He reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth and resentfully withdrew his hand. He said with hatred,"Hero…please!"
A wise man wouldn't fight when the odds were against him. Wasn't there other food?
Lin Yilan consoled herself as she tried her best to shuttle back and forth between the maids in the wooden figure's direction. She sighed in her heart that one really couldn't judge a book by its cover. Looking at Yu Qin's soft and weak appearance, she didn't expect her appetite to be so big. Her breakfast was eight dishes and one soup, and there were also a few plates of appetizers!
Thus, in the long corridor of the front courtyard of the Yiqing Pavilion, the few maidservants maintained their lofty movements and did not change. The two women shuttled between them and ate without any regard for their image, afraid that they would be snatched away by the other party if they were one step slower.
"Hero, don't you think something is missing?”Lin Yilan, who was busy fighting with a fish, couldn't bear to raise her head. The chefs of the Imperial Residence were indeed not fools!
"It seems…Mm! I know! Where's the food?" Xiao Qingying didn't have time to look up. She had never eaten such delicious food in her life! Of course, other than those few days in the palace.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of this…Hero is indeed wise and mighty! Hey, go get us some food.”
"Hey! Why did you eat all the fish? Who said we only drink fish soup?"
"…This…Master overcooked the fish. Other than the bones, everything else has melted into the soup!”
"You still want to quibble! This fish was clearly braised in brown sauce. How could it be cooked until it was soft? Most of the meat was burnt and stuck to the bones. No matter how he thought about it, it wouldn't have fallen into the soup!”Xiao Qingying wasn't so easy to fool. She exposed Lin Yilan's lie.
"…Hero! Eggs! This braised egg is very delicious!" Since he couldn't quibble, he would change the topic. There were countless ways for Lin Shi to get away with his crime. There were four main points to sum up.
"…" Xiao Qingying ignored her and tried to get more while she was talking. This was called a scheme.
"Hero! You're despicable! He actually packed it!" To be able to use the words " hero " and " despicable " together, and to be able to use a respectful tone with a hint of disdain, only Lin Yilan could do such a highly technical thing.
"Anyway, I brought a burden. I can't waste it!”In the face of other people's accusations, Xiao Qingying said that it was just "by the way" without changing his expression, and his actions were still so fast that it made people suspicious. Xiao Qingying's kung fu was comparable to Lin Yilan's.
"What are you doing? Why didn't he send the vegetables in? Miss has been waiting anxiously!"
Just as Lin and Xiao were desperately dividing up the food, a servant girl walked out from the inner courtyard and urged.
Lin Yilan looked up and saw that it was Yu Qin's servant girl. She then unwillingly said,"Tell your Young Miss that her breakfast has been tied up. If she wants to go back, tell her to come and see me herself!”
"You…you are Gu Yin? Why are you…here?" When the servant girl saw Lin Yilan's face clearly, she turned pale with fright. She pointed at her and couldn't even speak coherently. Although he asked a question, he was obviously not interested in the answer. Before Lin Yilan could answer, he ran into the inner court as if he had seen a ghost. He was most likely going to make a report.
"When she comes out, there won't even be any dregs left. How are you going to pay her back?”Although Xiao Qingying knew that it would be embarrassing to have nothing left, she still quickly stuffed the pastries into her bag to achieve her goal.
"Return the plate to her. I don't like to owe others anything!”
"Is that so? But that's something I like." Xiao Qingying answered casually. She didn't realize that she had unknowingly told Lin Yilan about herself.
Lin Yilan broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. It seemed that she absolutely couldn't lend anything to this she-devil. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to return. Ah! The clothes she loved!
Just as Lin Yilan was looking at Xiao Qingying's clothes reluctantly, a sharp female voice pierced her eardrums,""Gu Yin! You're ridiculous! His Highness clearly ordered you not to take half a step out of your broken courtyard, but you actually ignored his Highness's words! And... and did such... such a ridiculous thing!”
