Chapter 94: 94 Kiss (Requesting subscriptions! Requesting monthly tickets!)

"La, la la la, la la la..."

Ye Wanqiu soaked in the bath, humming a cheerful tune, a smile on her face, while her hands were carving a small bamboo piece with a carving knife.

In the vast sleeping chamber, she was the only one.

She would only reveal her true nature when she was all alone.

The dim candlelight cast a glow on her flawless, fragrant shoulders.

As she carved, a vague image from the ambiguous scene that morning suddenly flashed in Ye Wanqiu’s mind.

Did he... did he want to kiss me?

"Ah, ah, what am I foolishly imagining..." Ye Wanqiu threw the carving knife and the small bamboo piece to the ground, then splashed a handful of hot water on her face to calm down.

A moment later.

She took a deep breath, then stood up, and the warm water slid down her delicate body.

Those white jade-like shoulders, collarbone... upright...

That perfect body was like an artwork sculpted by God.

However, for such a perfect piece of art, Ye Wanqiu’s expression was calm as she took a towel from the side and dried herself from head to toe.

Then she picked up the nightgown beside her and was about to put it on when the window suddenly broke open, and a black shadow sneaked in.

Ye Wanqiu was so frightened that she was about to scream.

But the black shadow took two steps and instantly reached her, covering her mouth to successfully prevent her from screaming.

Ye Wanqiu’s face turned pale, and her body couldn’t help but tremble.

She had already thought of the consequences for herself.

But as the black shadow’s next sentence came, Ye Wanqiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the fear in her heart dissipating.

"It’s me. I’ll let go of you, don’t scream." Chen Mo said, slowly removing his hand from Ye Wanqiu’s mouth.

Indeed, Ye Wanqiu did not scream; the fear in her heart was replaced by a flustered, accelerated heartbeat, her face flushed as she nervously said:

"Chen Hong, why are you here? What are you doing here so late? And why are you dressed like this?"

"It’s a long story..." Chen Mo was about to briefly explain.

"Who are you?"

"How dare you, who allowed you to break in here? This is Jingru Palace. Do you have the guts of a bear?" Qing Shuang’s scolding voice came in.

"And you are?"

"Qing Shuang."

"Sorry, Miss Qing Shuang, an assassin was spotted at Weiyang Palace, and we have been tracing and found that the assassin came this way to Donghua Avenue, so we are checking each place..."

"I’ve been guarding here and haven’t seen any assassin."

"..."

Qing Shuang was communicating with the Imperial Guard.

"Assassin?" Hearing this, Ye Wanqiu’s expression changed, pointing at Chen Mo, she said: "You?"

Chen Mo nodded, cupped his hand and said: "Consort Jing is helping me."

"Then find a place to hide first, I... I’ll cover for you."

Ye Wanqiu didn’t even hesitate, immediately telling Chen Mo to hide, clearly intent on helping.

"Thank you, Your Grace."

Chen Mo let go of Ye Wanqiu, softly closed the window, then looked around the sleeping chamber, which was filled with things, but there was no place to hide.

And the space under the bed wasn’t enough for Chen Mo to hide.

The Imperial Guard outside had not left, and judging by the sound, they seemed to be calling for a female soldier or female guard to come in and check, to eliminate any danger.

And Qing Shuang was stopping them.

After all, a consort’s sleeping chamber is not a place where just anyone can enter.

Even though the Imperial Guard’s purpose was to catch an assassin.

Finally, Chen Mo’s gaze fell on the wooden tub, and he said: "Your Grace, how about I hide in here?"

Saying this, he walked towards the wooden tub.

The tub was large enough, filled with water, and covered with flower petals. If he held his breath and hid inside, it might work.

After all, that’s how it’s done in historical dramas.

At this moment, Ye Wanqiu had already put on her nightgown, watching Chen Mo head towards the tub, she immediately blushed and grabbed him, saying: "Do you think the Imperial Guard are fools? Besides, this tub is not... tall enough to hide you."

"Then... what should we do?" Chen Mo said, feeling a little panicked.

Ye Wanqiu bit her lip, then said: "Get into bed with me."

"Ah..." Chen Mo’s eyes widened.

"Later, when I’m lying in bed, I’ll cover you with the quilt. They won’t dare to search my bed." Ye Wanqiu said.

"This doesn’t seem right."

As he spoke, Chen Mo had already gotten into bed, not even taking off his shoes, and covered himself with the quilt.

"Your Grace, come up quickly." Chen Mo said.

Ye Wanqiu: "..."

This is what you call not seeming right?

Looking at the first man lying in her bed, Ye Wanqiu felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

Ye Wanqiu calmed herself, knowing she couldn’t hesitate any longer, walked to the bedside, and was just about to get on the bed when she suddenly thought of something and quickly blew out the candelabrum near the soft couch first.

With that, the light on the bed dimmed.

Then, Ye Wanqiu got on the bed, gently lifted the quilt, and lay down beside Chen Mo.

In an instant, the heartbeat of both of them sped up significantly.

Just then, an Imperial Guard seemingly found a female soldier, intending to come in to take a look and eliminate the possibility of an assassin sneaking into the sleeping quarters.

As the hall door opened, Ye Wanqiu felt her breath hasten slightly, then said softly: "You... hold me tighter..."

"Ah..."

"Like this, it’s easy to be... discovered." Ye Wanqiu said, her voice trembling.

"Alright." Chen Mo tightly embraced Ye Wanqiu from behind.

Since Ye Wanqiu was only wearing a thin nightgown, she could clearly feel the skin-to-skin contact.

A tingling sensation swept over her body, making Ye Wanqiu want to turn around and embrace him as well.

At this moment, two footsteps came in.

Qing Shuang’s voice came in from the outer hall: "Your Grace, I couldn’t stop them. They said they have the Empress’s order to conduct a thorough search, so they brought a female guard from the inner court..."

"Apologies, Consort Jing."

The voice of the female guard sounded, and she walked in.

As the female guard lifted the beaded curtain and entered the inner hall.

Ye Wanqiu felt as if her heart was about to stop.

If discovered.

Not only would he be in trouble, but she would also fall into an abyss with no return.

She was practically risking her life to shelter Chen Mo.

The inner hall had many things, and just glancing through, one could almost tell if someone was hiding.

The female guard scanned around, then looked at the wooden tub for a while, and when she glanced at the bed.

"How dare you." Consort Jing chided.

The female guard quickly lowered her head, apologized, and left the sleeping quarters.

A moment later, the Imperial Guard outside also left.

In the inner hall.

Ye Wanqiu breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling that she had never been so nervous.

"It’s over, they’ve gone." Ye Wanqiu said.

At the moment she turned around, the figure behind her suddenly kissed her.
