When he was placed on the couch and the tall figure covered him in the candlelight, Taoye's eyes flashed with panic and nervousness.
Could it be that the fifth young master was poisoned by Qingmei’s medicine?
But the way she is now, not to mention the fifth young master who has been drugged, cannot sustain even ordinary love affairs.
"Fifth Young Master, can I serve you in other ways?"
In a panic, I remembered the words I had heard in Hualou before.
But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Taoye knew that she had lost her mind. She had just been in charge of personnel a month ago, how could she know those nonsense.
However, the words spoken and the water spilled cannot be taken back.
Taoye's mind was racing, her eyes were shy, and her originally pale face seemed to be stained with a little blush under the candlelight. She softly said: "I actually heard the words of the Fifth Young Master and Xingyun when I was in the academy that day. The Fifth Young Master’s poison will keep him entertained for seven days…”
After Taoye spoke, her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear it.
"But I remember that when I was in the East Palace, the fifth young master was not with me one day... I think there should be other ways, and I can serve you according to that!"
That day in the academy, the Fifth Young Master was already suspicious that he had heard those words, so he simply took this opportunity to "admit" that the words that followed that day were indeed about her. As for the previous ones, she did not mention them. deny.
Tao Ye's words seemed like whispers, but the two of them were so close, and Rong Jiu, a martial arts practitioner, had extraordinary ears, so he could hear every word clearly.
The little maid's words also reminded him of the night he took a bath in the East Palace, and that damn pamphlet.
His handsome face suddenly darkened.
"You are really smart!"
The covered figure moved away from the peach leaves.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The person sitting next to the couch had clear eyes and a normal complexion. There was no sign of Chinese medicine at all.
Taoye secretly regretted her rashness just now.
Seeing that there was no Qinian next to her, Taoye propped herself up on the soft pillow behind her: "Thank you, Fifth Young Master, for trusting me!"
Although she had expected this "trust".
In the situation outside just now, if she wanted to clear herself, it would be more appropriate to have her house searched according to Qingmei's words. Except for Qingmei, who did it, who could have guessed that Huachai had a secret, and Qingmei was impatient and wanted to To "expose" this matter, there must be many loopholes in what you say, so you can't hide it from the person in front of you.
She did the opposite.
The purpose is to gain "trust".
The fifth young master didn't like the private affairs in the back house, so she was a little "stupid" in these matters.
"Why didn't you tell me what you knew early in the morning?"
Rong Jiu asked.
"Originally I wanted to talk about it after lunch, but then the fifth young master gave the slave some medicine, and the slave was in a hurry and forgot about it!"
When Tao Ye mentioned the matter of applying medicine, her eyebrows darkened a bit.
"When the fifth young master came to the wing later, I wanted to say something, but then the young master asked about the hairpin, and he seemed a little unhappy. The slave did not dare to say anything, thinking that since he knew about it, there was no point in talking about it later. hinder!"
Taoye had just thought of an excuse.
As she expected, Rong Jiu did not doubt this, and any doubts she had when she was outside were dispelled after Tao Ye said this.
"Can I go back, slave?"
Taoye was woken up halfway, and now that the matter was over, the tiredness and weakness on her face could no longer be concealed.
"Rest here tonight!"
Rong Jiu stood up and took a look at Tao Ye's face, which had just regained some rosiness.
Rest here?
Taoye glanced at the agarwood tree beneath her body, which was only covered with a thin mattress, with only a soft pillow on it and not even a quilt.
But just thinking about this moment, the figure fell down again.
The fifth young master actually carried her to the bed.
Although Taoye was a little surprised, this was not the first time she slept with her master.
"Why are you moving? You are injured and still so restless!"
Taoye wanted to move outside and fall asleep according to the rules, but she was stopped after moving for a moment.
He watched the person next to the bed take off his robe, blow out the candle, and lie down next to him.
The soft brocade quilt fell on her body, and the two people's breath was so close that Tao Ye couldn't help but shrink inward.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight!"
Rong Jiu reached out and pinched Tao Ye's waist gently, and said in a deep voice,
There was a familiar scent around her, and it only took Taoye a while to adapt.
She slept normally, and her body was covered with injuries, so she just lay there.
But at night, I still suffered.
Awakened by the pain in his right arm, Taoye frowned and opened his eyes. Taking advantage of the cold moonlight outside, the fifth young master unexpectedly grabbed his waist and held him tightly in his arms. His right hand was just right. Being squeezed.
It took a lot of effort for Taoye to take out her right hand and put it outside the quilt.
But it was okay when she fell asleep before, but when she woke up, Taoye couldn't sleep in this uncomfortable position.
She estimated that it would be dawn soon, so she closed her eyes and waited.
About an hour later, a little sunlight came through the window. The hand on the waist moved up and just touched the wound on the back.
Taoye shivered in pain.
In her confusion, Rong Jiu also felt that the touch under her hand was not right, and she glanced to the side sleepily.
"Why are you awake so early?"
After speaking, he subconsciously rubbed the skin on his hands twice.
What he touched was not as soft and delicate as before, and when he saw the moistness in Tao Ye's watery eyes, Rong Jiu became more awake, and the hands on his waist became stiff.
"Is the wound hurting again?"
After a moment, Rong Jiu took back his hand with a calm expression.
"Um!"
The hand on the waist was removed, Taoye moved in, and changed his posture slightly. The hand on the brocade quilt had already felt a little cool when he put it outside. Taoye moved a little, but now the people around him were awake. , this action is not small.
While hesitating, the quilt on his right moved down a little, and a pair of warm hands brought his right hand into the quilt.
The person next to him was already ready to get up.
"No need to get up and wait!"
Looking at the sky outside, it was time for her daily martial arts practice. Rong Jiu put on her outer robe, said something to Tao Ye and walked out the door.
Tao Ye couldn't fall asleep so early in the morning, but she had to accept the fifth young master's kindness. Tao Ye closed her eyes while the warmth in the bed was still there. It was always good for her body to rest a little longer.
"Master!"
Xingyun, who was waiting at the door, saw the young master coming out wearing a robe. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he saw the door was closed again, and he understood clearly.
"Fifth Young Master, I know that I have sinned. Please bypass me this time!"
After kneeling for most of the night, Gui Yun was younger and had good foundation. Although his face was a little pale, he could still hold on. However, Zhao Jin's face was so pale that he fell to the ground.
"Get up! Manager Zhao, remember not to think too much about doing things in the future!"
Rong Jiu spoke lazily, but in fact there was an unknown meaning in his words.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master, thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
At this moment, Zhao Jin could not hear any other meaning. He only knew that he could finally get up and he was overjoyed.
