Wait a minute, heroine

The next day, Shuanggui Lane.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

The ethereal sound of raindrops falling into puddles made the room feel particularly peaceful.

On the bed by the window, Ye Jingtang opened his eyes and turned his head to look. The sky outside was gray and gray, and he didn't know whether it was early morning or afternoon.

After a hard night, Birdie was sleeping next to the pillow with her paws pointing upward. As he moved, she let out a sleepy "chirp..." and turned over to continue sleeping.

Ye Jingtang scratched the big bird with his fingers, then covered it with a thin quilt, sat up, took out the gold paper from his arms and looked at it.

After hearing about the mystery of "Singing Dragon Picture" from his adoptive father's letter, he had been thinking about it for a long time, but now he succeeded unexpectedly, and the problem arose again.

The gold paper in his hand could withstand his full force without any damage. It was most likely genuine. However, there was no writing on the front and back of the paper. There was only a picture of 'Turtle Carrying Three Mountains' without any hints. Even if it was known to be a supreme secret book, it recorded a unique record. I don’t know where to start practicing the secret technique.

Ye Jingtang took the gold paper and looked at it carefully, trying to figure out the mystery from the lines of the picture. After looking at it for a while, he looked out the window at the yard.

The house where Ye Jingtang slept was in the west wing opposite the kitchen, while Luo Ning and Zhe Yunli lived in the main house.

Zhe Yunli was more lively and had a restless temper. Both of them were catching up on their sleep. Zhe Yunli had nothing to do at home and went out for a walk again, while Luo Ning was still resting in the main room.

With the three people living in the yard, the main house has undergone earth-shaking changes from when they first arrived.

After Zhe Yunli bought a few pieces of furniture, the main room looked more like a house. There was a small cabinet in the corner with some rouge, gouache, a bronze mirror, a wooden comb and other items on it.

On the bed, Luo Ning slept in her clothes, with a thin blanket covering her waist, and the curves outlined by her waist were flawless.

When I came back here and lay down in the middle of the night, I was indeed a little tired, but after experiencing the unforgettable night yesterday, as a woman, how could Luo Ning sleep?

Luo Ning lay on her side on the pillow, looking at the wall with her moist and crystal clear peach blossom eyes, while her green-white jade fingers were placed on her lips, recalling the brief kiss that broke at the touch of a finger.

Since she was lying down in the early hours of the morning, she could not help but review every step she had taken in the past.

He was born in the water town of Jiangzhou when he was young, and his family was considered a well-known family. Unfortunately, when he was still a toddler, his family encountered enemies. His parents died and his family fell into ruin.

As a daughter, she shouldn't be out and about in the world, but her talent is outstanding. If she doesn't shoulder the responsibility, who will settle the grudges?

When she first started in the world of martial arts, she had great ambitions and vowed to become the "number one" in the martial arts world like Fengguancheng.

As a result, the world was too big and the sky was too high. After running around in circles, except for the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world", she didn't get any fame.

However, the former enemy repented, became a monk and entered Qianfo Temple in Shazhou, becoming the disciple of Zen Master Shen Chen, one of the "Two Saints".

Zen Master Shenchen said that the enemy has repented and feels guilty for his past actions. Living is the punishment for the enemy.

This statement is so ridiculous. If living is considered punishment, then what does it mean to be a person who dies for no reason? relief?

In order to settle her grudges, she searched everywhere. She went to Yuxu Mountain and met Master Xuanji. She also went to Tiannan Official City and visited Immortal Wu, but she failed to get the true transmission until she met Master Pingtian.

The Pingtian leader inherited the teachings of his ancestors and wanted to restore the former dynasty. To put it bluntly, he was rebelling against the Wei Dynasty. If you rebel, you must become the emperor. If Pingtian leader doesn't want to be a subordinate, he will wear a yellow robe and wear a yellow robe. But since ancient times, how can there be any saying that a woman should be the emperor?

Even if Pingtian leader thinks it's okay, his subordinates will still be afraid that the world they finally conquered will be directly used as dowry by women to make it easier for outsiders.

For this reason, the leader of Pingtian promised to teach her all the spiritual martial arts after he learned them. She helped the leader of Pingtian hide his identity and took care of the internal affairs of the leader as his wife.

The two heroines, who were new to the world, hit it off immediately and became the most enviable couple in the world.

Originally, this life was promising, but how easy was it to practice martial arts to become the Second Saint on Bijian Mountain?

Ever since she went to Nanxiao Mountain, her life seemed to have been frozen. Her life was very monotonous. She practiced martial arts all day long, but she was getting further and further away from the Pingtian leader. Her reputation as the "most beautiful woman in the world" gradually faded away, leaving only Tangled up in endless trivial matters, I don’t know why I’ve ended up now.

The appearance of the shameless little thief is like suddenly dropping a stone into a pool of stagnant water, causing thousands of ripples and never calming down again.

Luo Ning couldn't figure out how there could be such a brave and thick-skinned man in the world.

Unfortunately, she had no choice but to be beaten and scolded, and could only be pushed forward by the opponent as if he were boiling a frog in warm water.

She and the leader of Pingtian said they were helping each other, but the relationship between husband and wife was well known in the world.

She was having sex with men outside, and if the news spread that "the wife of the leader of the Pingtian Sect was having an affair with a young man," wouldn't the reputation of the leader of the Pingtian Sect, which he had worked so hard to accumulate, be ruined in one fell swoop?

She also has to become a wanton and unscrupulous woman...

You even asked me about my identity, and I would scare you to death if I told you...

Luo Ning was not sleepy at all, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Just when she was feeling so melancholy, the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

In a blink of an eye, he saw the handsome little thief standing silently at the window.

?

Luo Ning's face was slightly cold, and she pulled up the thin quilt:

"What are you looking at?"

"I just woke up, and I'm going to return to the black office. Come and say hello. Don't take it lightly when you're alone at home."

Luo Ning was mentally and physically exhausted and didn't want to talk to Ye Jingtang at all. Rourou turned over and left Ye Jingtang with the back of her head.

"well……"

Soon, the footsteps faded away.

Luo Ning took a deep breath, hugged the little watermelon, and started to think about it again...

——

Shuanggui Lane is quite far from Mingyu Tower. After Ye Jingtang had a meal on the street, he carried the red sandalwood box and came to the black Yamen without a plaque.

In the small square outside the Yamen, a flagpole was erected, and the rotten heads were replaced with new ones.

There were some idle people looking around on the street, and whispers came from them:

"Who is this?"

"The thief king of Yanzhou, 'Wingless Owl', has stolen many important figures and taken several lives from him..."

"Is this the thief who sneaked into the 'Censor's Pavilion' a few days ago? Why was he suddenly arrested?"

"You're too brave. What's wrong with stealing? Stealing people, stealing from Prime Minister Li's people..."

"Oh, that death is not unjust..."

…

Ye Jingtang pretended not to hear these gossips and went to the black office to hand over the sign.

Within a moment, Shang Jianli came out of the yamen and held his hands in the distance:

"Young Master Ye is very capable. I really didn't expect that Mr. Ye would be able to bring this thief to justice in a few days."

"I'm just doing some hard work. If the yamen didn't give full support to spreading the news everywhere, how could we catch this thief..."

While being polite, I came to the back of the yamen. The master of the black yamen, Bo, presented him with a reward of three hundred taels of silver. Along with it, there was also a "letter of commendation" stamped with the seal of Prince Jing, to show his encouragement for his heroic deeds.

Compared to Wingless Owl's name and troublesomeness, the reward of three hundred taels of silver is really not much, but it can be considered as the salary advanced from Sanniang. Zhengerba has already earned his first pot of gold with his own skills.

Ye Jingtang was not greedy for money, but he did have a lot of money in his pocket. He happily accepted the offer. After completing the due process and closing the case, he asked:

"Sir, is Prince Jing at your residence?"

"Prince Jing is entertaining guests at his residence. It may be inconvenient for the visitor to be a distinguished person. However, Prince Jing said hello in the morning and said that if Mr. Ye comes, please wait for a while. I will go and inform you."

While Shang Jianli was talking, he led Ye Jingtang to a tea room behind the Yamen.

The tea room should be a place for discussing things on weekdays. It is ordinary and has nothing special about it.

Ye Jingtang sat down next to the tea table, placed the rosewood box containing 'Mr. Jiao' on the table, and quietly waited for Prince Jing's summons...

——

Behind the Black Yamen, at the top of Mingyu Tower.

The misty rain curtain moved the wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the terrace, and the sound of the piano sounded in the room.

Boom~boom~……

Several palace maids were waiting outside the study. Dongfang Liren, dressed in a silver python robe, stood in front of the painting desk and sketched the beautiful scenery in front of him.

Behind the piano table directly in front, a graceful and elegant young woman in a phoenix skirt sits elegantly sideways, her white jade fingers licking the strings of the piano, her mature and plump buttocks draw a heavy half arc behind her skirt, but her expression is full of emotions. Spring resentment:

"Li Ren, are you done painting? It's been half an hour."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, you'll be fine soon."

"They said they would take me out to relax, but the result was great. It rained and I couldn't get out. Alas..."

The Empress Dowager was very bored in the palace. She finally came out once and could only sit in the cool Mingyu Tower. She couldn't even see the distant view of the street, and she felt really depressed.

Dongfang Liren was considerate. While painting the portrait, he comforted her softly:

"When the rain stops, I will take the Queen Mother to Yutan Villa. Let's take a nice bath in the hot springs. The scenery is much better than here, and it is suitable for relaxing."

"What's the use of a beautiful scenery? If you don't have anyone to accompany you, you can't just enjoy it alone."

The Empress Dowager fiddled with the strings of the piano and looked at the market far away from Mingyu Tower. She really wanted to suggest that Prince Jing take her for a 'private visit' to go shopping.

However, there were undercurrents surging between the government and the public, and Dongfang Liren had been plotted several times by thieves. Even if Dongfang Liren could agree to such a thing, she couldn't bear the responsibility, so she thought about it and let it go.

After sitting for a long time, Dongfang Liren finally stopped writing, and a lifelike picture of a beautiful woman appeared on the paper.

The Queen Mother stood up, rubbed her sore legs, and came to take a look. Before she had time to comment, she heard the footsteps of the maid coming to the door:

"Your Highness, Mr. Ye is here."

Dongfang Liren heard the news that the Wingless Owl was brought to justice in the morning, and wanted to see the Night Terror Hall. When he heard that people were coming, he didn't have the time to accompany the Queen Mother, so he immediately said:

"A clerk in the Yamen handled a big case yesterday. I'm going to meet with him. The Queen Mother will rest first."

The Queen Mother knew that Dongfang Liren was busy with affairs and did not stay long. After watching Dongfang Liren go out, she wandered alone in the room and took out the scrolls on the bookshelf to check.

Dongfang Liren and the empress studied under ‘Zhenren Xuanji’. One was good at literature and the other was good at martial arts, and both received the true inheritance.

Dongfang Liren has quite good calligraphy and painting skills, and he likes to paint the various scenes of the market outside Mingyu Tower.

The Queen Mother admired it secretly, and quickly picked up a brand new scroll from the middle of the bookshelf. When she unfolded it, she saw a man painted on it.

The man was dressed in a black robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic air. He held a long knife upside down in his left hand and placed it on his neck. There was also a fat owl standing on his shoulder, and the demeanor of each person and the bird was clearly outlined.

"Tsk tsk~ So handsome..."

The Queen Mother's apricot eyes were slightly bright, and she held the portrait to the window and looked at it carefully in the light.

The man in the painting has a very unique temperament, he is both crazy and chivalrous, but also gentle and elegant. He is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him. He is so handsome that it is a bit unreal, as if he is just the man in the painting. Such a flawless man cannot exist in reality.

"Could it be that he is Liren's imaginary husband..."

The Queen Mother thought carefully for a moment and felt that it was very possible. She secretly teased Dongfang Liren a few words and prepared to put the portrait away.

But at this moment, there was some movement below Mingyu Tower.

The Empress Dowager looked down and saw two people walking out of the huge Yamen. The first one was a scholar in a green robe. She had seen that he was the chief arrester of the black Yamen, Jianli.

Behind him is a man in black. His posture is neither humble nor arrogant, and his steps are neither urgent nor slow. He is far away and blocked by the rain curtain. Only the profile of his face can be seen, but the handsomeness of this man can still be seen from his body.

Um?

The Queen Mother was stunned, picked up the portrait and looked at it, then looked at the man in black in the distance, and then looked at the portrait again...

? ?

The 'fire of gossip' slowly emerged from the Queen Mother's eyes. While she was trying to figure out the relationship between the two, she found the handsome boy looking over here. She was so shocked that she quickly left the window...
