099 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Jade Pendant

After Yan Zhaozhao opened the door of Jinyuan’s bedroom, she found that the candles inside were bright.She was a little stunned. It stands to reason that as soon as Xie Ciyan returned to the palace tonight, he would be invited to the Yaochi Hall by the emperor. There should be no candles lit here.

Although she was suspicious, she didn’t think anything of him. She went straight in and sat down on a soft couch, waiting obediently for Xie Ciyan’s return.

But nearly an hour passed, but Xie Ciyan had not returned yet.Several times she wanted to leave the dormitory and go to the Jinluan Palace to investigate the situation, but every time she was about to take the step, she sighed and gave up the idea.Although she was worried, she didn’t want to become a stumbling block for Xie Ciyan. If she went out rashly at this time, she might not only be unable to help him, but might even distract him again.

It was late at night, and Yan Zhaozhao, who had been working hard all day, was already a little confused. She put her hands on the tea table next to the couch, closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while, but she almost fell off the couch several times.She was really tired and wanted to wait here for Xie Ciyan to come back, but she couldn’t help but feel sleepy.

When she finally fell asleep and almost fell down, Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t bear to stand up and walked towards the bed in the inner room.

This was the first time for Yan Zhaozhao to enter his inner room. She had only come to Jinyuan a handful of times. Every time she came here, she talked outside and never went inside.She carefully looked at the furnishings in the inner room, only to see a sandalwood desk with a purple sand teapot and a tea cup placed on it. There were bookcases against the wall, which contained ancient books on the art of war.A screen was blocked, and the bed came into view immediately, with a wardrobe on one side. She curiously opened the wardrobe, and it turned out that it was all black robes, with no other colors.

Xie Ciyan is not a person who likes fancy things, and everything he uses is kept simple.After looking around, he couldn’t find anything interesting. When tiredness struck again, Yan Zhaozhao lay down on Xie Ciyan’s couch, picked up the quilt placed aside and covered herself with it.But after picking up the quilt, he saw a small secret cabinet hidden behind the long and thick quilt.

Yan Zhaozhao’s heart moved slightly, and she was obviously a little curious.The bed is the place closest to Xie Ciyan. What important object could he put here?She sat up, hooked her index finger on the ring, and gently pulled out the small secret cabinet.

Inside, lying quietly was a jade pendant.

She frowned lightly, took out the jade pendant and looked at it carefully in her palm.The jade pendant is exquisitely crafted and is carved from the finest Hetian jade. Its tentacles are as warm as mutton fat.The jade pendant is hollow, with a lifelike unicorn holding beads carved in the middle. If you look closely, you will see that the beads in the unicorn’s mouth are actually Dongzhu.

After Yan Zhaozhao saw the pattern of the tattoo on the jade pendant clearly, his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and he even forgot to breathe.This jade pendant…she would never admit that it was worn by the man who saved her in the wing of Yunlai Inn!

Although she only had a quick glance before losing consciousness, she was deeply impressed by the special decoration of the jade pendant, and because it was the only object that could identify her savior, she kept it firmly in her mind.

But why is this jade pendant in Xie Ciyan’s room?

Yan Zhaozhao thought for a long time. She had never seen Xie Ciyan wearing a jade pendant. It was for this reason that she chose a bell for him to hang around his waist.She kept thinking deeply, and her mind came back to the Xuan Yi that filled the cabinet just now.That man was also wearing a mysterious suit back then. Although I could only vaguely remember his outline, but now that I think about it, that vague outline gradually overlapped with the current Xie Ciyan and became the same person.

Could it be…that the person who saved her in the wing was Xie Ciyan?!

But if that was the case, why did Xie Ciyan never tell her?Yan Zhaozhao looked over and over carefully at the pattern on the jade pendant in her palm, and found that it was no different from what she remembered.

At this moment, she was no longer sleepy. She held the jade pendant tightly in her hand and got down from the bed. She then sat back on the soft couch outside. She kept going out of the bedroom to look forward to her return, looking even more anxious than before.

When the candles were about to burn out and a glimmer of light shone on the horizon, the bedroom door was finally pushed open.Xie Ciyan was still wearing the same black armor. When he entered, he saw the woman sitting on the soft couch, as if she had not slept all night. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then she quickly disappeared.

Seeing the man coming back, Yan Zhaozhao immediately stood up and walked forward, but when she saw that his expression was indifferent and there was no trace of a smile, she suddenly remembered that Xie Ciyan was angry with her at this time.All the questions about the jade pendant were choked in my throat after seeing Xie Ciyan’s calm expression.

“You…are back.” Seeing that he still didn’t want to pay attention to her appearance, Yan Zhaozhao had no choice but to show her kindness. She lightly touched the back of his hand with her lush fingertips. Seeing that he didn’t move away, she boldly circled his hand, which was invisibly the most seductive.”Is Xie Langjun still angry with me?”

Her voice is delicate and soft, and she is full of coquettishness and softness. Even a tough guy will be fascinated by it.Not to mention Xie Ciyan?

The man had completely lost his temper the moment her fingertips touched her.He hasn’t seen his sweetheart for nearly half a year. As long as he can see her standing in front of him, safe and sound, everything else becomes unimportant.But Xie Ciyan didn’t show this on his face, and he still had that indifferent expression.

He sighed softly, but in the end he couldn’t do anything to the person in front of him, so his tone became a little softer.”Does Zhaozhao know why I’m angry?”

Yan Zhaozhao felt guilty for a while. After raising her eyes to look at him, she lowered her eyes and whispered, “I’m angry that I got so close to that emperor and actually sat with him at the top, treating you like nothing.”

Xie Ci was so angry that he suddenly wanted to pry open her head and see what was inside.”Absurd.” He lifted her chin up with his fingertips, “I don’t mind you getting close to the deposed emperor. What makes me angry is that you don’t trust me so much. If I hadn’t arrived at the Cultivation Heart Hall in time, would you be a cold corpse now?”

His voice was a little deeper, “Yan Zhaozhao, have you ever thought about how I would survive if you died and I was left behind?” He looked directly into her clear eyes, “How can you be so cruel?”

Xie Ciyan didn’t even dare to think that if he had gone a step too late, the stick would have penetrated deeply into her neck, and then she would have died.It was clearly agreed that they would live in the same quilt and die in the same acupuncture point, so how could she abandon him first because of the deposed emperor?

After the man finished speaking, Yan Zhaozhao felt even more guilty and her eyes dodged.”I…I didn’t have time to think about this at that time. I just thought that I couldn’t let that foolish king use this to blackmail you.”

“Yan Zhaozhao, listen.” Xie Ciyan’s face was calm, but his eyes were extremely serious.”No matter what happens in the future, don’t think about hurting yourself. No matter what happens, just remember that I will always be there.”

The tip of Yan Zhaozhao’s nose felt sour, and she suddenly buried her head in his chest, wrapping her hands tightly around his waist, “Thank you Ciyan, I miss you so much.”

I miss you, and no matter how strong my heart is, it softens into a puddle of water at this moment.Xie Ciyan hugged the woman in his arms tighter, and his heart finally found a stable place, and he said the words that he had been repeating in his heart day and night.”I miss you very much too.”

He gently stroked her hair, “Zhao Zhao suffered a lot during my absence.” The two hugged each other, their noses filled with the delicious fragrance of albizia flowers, the intoxicating scent that haunted him. Feeling her soft body and body temperature, an inexplicable impulse suddenly surged in his heart.

Yan Zhaozhao shook his head and held his hands tighter and tighter.Being in the cold palace for nearly half a year was not hard for her. What was hard was not being able to see him for half a year.When you raise your eyes, you will be filled with lovesickness; when you close your eyes, you will be filled with his figure.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something important. She suddenly pushed Xie Ciyan away and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve to show it to him.”Is this yours?”

Xie Ciyan was surprised for a moment, as if he didn’t understand how she could find this object, but he did not deny that the jade pendant was not his.”Where did Zhao Zhao find it?”

He stretched out his hand to take it, but Yan Zhaozhao took a step back and asked persistently: “You haven’t answered me yet. Is this jade pendant yours?”

Xie Ciyan chuckled lightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes, as if a beam of light had been shot into the dark abyss.”It’s indeed mine.”

His eyes were like water, full of doting.”It’s the betrothal gift I prepared for you.”
