1813 Chapter 1812 of “Quickly Traveling [Jade Body Exposed]”

A woman disguises herself as a prince and a man disguises himself as a concubine [Sixty-eight]

Duke Wei was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

Ning Shuyao didn’t stop and turned around to leave.

There are too many entanglements between them. No matter how much he respects him and respects him in his heart, he may not be able to treat him seriously and kindly.

Back at the palace, the main room was empty.

Ning Shuyao just remembered that because he was going out today, Li Xin told him to go back to the side room to rest for the night, so as to reassure Aunt He so that she would not stare at the main room all day long.

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Lying on the couch, he felt that his side was empty, without the warm jade fragrance of the past, and he couldn’t sleep.

Ning Shuyao turned over several times and sat up with a sigh.

The candles were mostly burning, and the night was dark, but he was very sober.

After standing in front of the window for a while, I felt upset, so I went to sit down in front of the dressing table, opened the dressing niche, and moved it to the innermost layer.

There was a secret compartment inside, which even Cui Ying didn’t know about except himself.

He took out a thin piece of paper from the secret compartment. The edge of the paper had turned yellow, showing that it had been there for many years. Under the dim candlelight, it looked even more transparent.

Ning Shuyao read the content on the paper over and over again, and her troubled thoughts disappeared. She was just filled with sadness, which made her eyes well up.

This was left by his mother when she was dying. He was just playing outside as usual, but when he came back, the sky had changed.

The gentle and kind-hearted mother fell in a pool of blood. She only had time to look at him with nostalgia before closing her eyes and losing her breath.

He suddenly sat down on the ground and stayed in a daze for the entire afternoon. He shed tears and his eyes ached, unaware of the night and day.

Until Duke Wei appeared and took him back to the mansion.

And this letter has been hidden in the secret compartment of her mother’s dressing room. She had already expected this day, so she had made preparations for it.

His mother’s surname is Ning, Ning Shu, the sister-in-law of Duke Wei, and a former…

“Squeak——”

A sudden sound on the door interrupted Ning Shuyao’s thoughts. He immediately stood up and hid his body behind the screen.

The door was opened a crack, and a dark head was peeked in. A pair of bright eyes jumped into Ning Shuyao’s sight, making him startled.

Immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the screen:

“He who deserves a break has become a thief in the night?”

He pulled Li Xin in from the door and saw that her hair was fluffy and messy, and she was only wearing a protective cloak. When she pulled it open, it was a thin middle coat.

It was autumn now, and the night wind was cold, and her hands were also cold from the blow.

Ning Shuyao’s face immediately changed. He held her hand in his palm to warm it, closed the door and scolded:

“Afraid you won’t freeze? Such nonsense.”

Li Xin smiled, not afraid of him getting angry, she just acted coquettishly and said:

“You and I have a clear understanding of each other. If you hadn’t just come back, I would have been looking for you.”

She didn’t want to say that she was used to sleeping with him in her arms, so it felt awkward to suddenly have someone beside her.

After all, she loved the scent of him so much that she was obsessed with it.

Ning Shuyao glanced at her:

“Liar.”

Can’t he tell whether what she said is true or false?

Li Xin didn’t care, just regarded it as a pet name, threw her body forward, hung directly on him, buried her head in his neck, and smelled the faint fragrance.

Ning Shuyao was tickled by her plush hair and couldn’t help but press her head:

“What are you doing? Come down quickly!”

Li Xin hugged him and refused to let go:

“I can’t sleep without holding you in my arms. I’m terribly sleepy and you want to drive me away.”

After getting along with Ning Shuyao, she realized how soft-hearted he really was. This was a good opportunity for her.
