She thought for a moment, then turned and ran towards her room.
It was still about three or four hours before the evening feast. Since Empress Jia has the heart to send herself out, then two hours before the banquet starts, that is, about one or two hours later, someone will definitely come to supervise her bathing, changing, dressing, and washing.
She didn't have much time left.
Yun Yao returned to the house, took off her shoes and socks, lay down on the couch, closed her eyes, and pretended to close her eyes and take a nap. Then a faint shadow floated out of her body and went straight out.
She didn't go to Gao Su because first, she didn't know where Gao Su was now, and second, the time was too short now, and even if she was lucky enough to find him, she wouldn't have time to go back to the house. She floated in the palace for a while, and soon heard the location of tonight's banquet from the mouths of the eunuchs and palace maids who came in and out.
She secretly remembered the location of the palace room and floated back into her room.
It just so happened that the moment she opened her eyes, she heard the slight click of the girl in the room opening the door.
The girl in the same room was holding a large tray in her hand, on which were a bunch of Luo Yi as thin as cicada wings, and some hairpin ring jewelry that was rare in the palace, with a faint expression, and she couldn't see joy or anger. As soon as the girl entered the door, she put the tray next to Yun Yao's pillow and said coldly: "This is what the queen has prepared for you, you should change your clothes earlier." β
Yun Yao was still a little confused, sat up from the couch, and said suspiciously: "This is ......"
The girl in the same room glanced at her indifferently, probably a little surprised when she saw her expression, and then explained without saltiness: "What the queen means, you should be clear?" After tonight, you will be the pillow man of Yingchuan Hou. These things, of course, are fun. β
As soon as the word "fun" came out, even the girl herself felt a little ashamed.
But the girl was steady. Maybe she had seen too many similar things, or maybe she had a very shallow relationship with Ah Yao, in short, after saying those helpful words, she refused to say a word. Yun Yao wanted to ask her about something else, but when she saw her like this, she dispelled her previous thoughts. Yun Yao held the handful of Luo Yi that was as thin as a cicada's wings, sniffed it gently, and sure enough, she smelled a faint sweet fragrance on it, which made people feel a little dazed.
These faint sweet fragrances, coupled with the dress as thin as a cicada's wings, and tonight's wine, Queen Jia's thoughts are not inconsiderate.
But I don't know when and where Empress Jia is going to send her to Gaosu?
Yun Yao pondered about tonight's events while going outside to burn some hot books for herself and prepare to take a bath. Although the girl in the same room was cold and indifferent, she was always watching her, occasionally handing her a ladle of hot water and instructing her on how to change her clothes.
After being so busy for half an hour, Yun Yao had already changed into Luo Yi under the guidance of that girl, tied her long hair back neatly, wrapped a big coat outside, and sat on the couch waiting for Queen Jia's words.
The girl in the same room said that when it was evening, Queen Jia would personally send someone over and bring Yun Yao to the palace.
As soon as the word "in the palace" came out, Yun Yao was shocked again.
She has never forgotten how King Zhao warned Gao Su a few days ago. King Zhao said that he should not touch the people in the palace.
And just now, Empress Jia said frankly that if she and the Marquis of Yingchuan collapsed, then he would definitely be charged with "fornication/disorderly palace".
How to settle this charge, after hearing the word "in the temple", she was completely clear in her heart.
If she was dressed like this, and a foreign minister of Yingchuan Marquis, appeared in the "palace" at the same time, Gao Su would definitely be speechless. When the time comes, no matter who speaks well for him, this crime will be properly implemented.
When night fell, the girl in the same room finally left.
Tonight, Yun Yao was going to be given out as a gift. Therefore, the one who served the queen became the girl in her room. After the girl walked away, Yun Yao got up and covered the door, lay crooked on the couch, made an expression of "I'm tired of waiting", and fell asleep.
Then a faint shadow was separated from the main body and sneaked out.
The girl in the same room went to the queen's bedchamber, and she drifted slowly forward according to the location of the palace room she had remembered during the day. The timing was just right, the palace people were still displaying the food table, and the emperor and empress and the ministers who had been invited to the banquet had not yet come, so she stood in place for a while, and then floated forward. After another quarter of an hour, I saw several princes complimenting each other and walking towards this side.
The one who started was actually King Zhao.
There was a slight buzz in her head, but she didn't have time to think about it. After wandering among the princes for a while, and carefully identifying for a moment, she found the location of Gao Su by the way. At the head of the group were the kings, and Gao Su was a little behind them, walking side by side with a very old-looking official, and when he turned the corner, he suddenly fell half a step behind.
Yun Yao floated to his shoulder, and as usual, gently called out to Changgong.
Gao Su quickly froze. But just as quickly, he adjusted his pace, and was about three or four steps behind the official, his expression still calm and peaceful, as if it had just been a mere auditory hallucination.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally leaned on Gao Su's shoulder, and said softly: "Changgong, Empress Jia, she wants to give me to you as a gift, just tonight." And Empress Jia also said......" She relayed the words she heard in the palace one by one, and then asked with some concern, "Changgong, in your opinion, what should be done about this matter?" β
At this point, Gao Su could no longer think of himself as an auditory hallucination. He glanced sideways over his shoulder, his thin lips twitching slightly. Yun Yao's eyes widened and she tried to distinguish it, only to vaguely tell that he was saying, "You have already informed me of this, so there is no need to worry about it." Go back, I know what to expect, and when you come, I'll explain it to you in detail." She sighed softly, and just wanted to say that she understood, when suddenly a certain king in front of her laughed and said, "Why did the Marquis of Yingchuan fall behind?" β
Gao Su's silent exhortation came to an abrupt end. He quietly took two steps forward, mediated with the guy who didn't know whether it was the King of Chu or the King of Wu or the King of Jiaodong, and glanced sideways intentionally or unintentionally. Yun Yao tried to curl herself up to the minimum, put it next to his ear, and said in the lowest possible voice, "I know." I went back. Then he floated three feet away.
She saw Gao Su bow slightly, turned back to mediate with the king, and then turned around and drifted towards her bedroom.
As soon as she returned to the house, her head buzzed again and froze.
The two old grandmothers looked at her carefully, frowning and muttering something to the other. The robe on her body was crooked, and most of it had been removed. Suddenly, one of the grandmothers nodded, wiped something on her collarbone, waist, wrists, and ankles, and whispered to the other, "It's easier to get drunk than spirits." Then he lifted her up head to end.
Naturally, she couldn't let people carry her out like this, so she woke up with a whimper, struggled for a moment in the hands of the grandmothers, gathered her robes, and stared at them with a pair of eyes. When the grandmothers saw that she was awake, they did not say anything, but urged her to go quickly.
The sky outside had all darkened, and the grandmothers did not bring palace lights, so they could barely see their fingers. But the grandmothers had already walked the palace road, and soon took Yun Yao to an empty room, and one of them sternly admonished, "Wait here." Then he went out with another grandmother, as if waiting for someone.
Soon another eunuch came here and whispered a few words to the grandmothers.
After hearing this, the grandmothers instructed the eunuch to find an opportunity to bring the Marquis of Yingchuan over, and continued to guard outside the house. It seemed to be the apse or inner hall of a palace, and there were faint sounds of staggering outside, as well as the hearty laughter of men, but it was quiet, and there was not even a person. The only thing that can be called "comparatively" normal is a couch.
Bed?
Linked to what Queen Jia said earlier, Yun Yao shivered excitedly.
She didn't know how Gao Su was going to deal with Empress Jia, because the time she had been with Gao Su just now was too short, and she only had time to inform him of this matter in advance, but she didn't have time to wait for his reply. Gao Su said that he already knew it, so she would believe him again...... She sat down on the only couch and looked out calmly, waiting for the man to arrive.
Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half......
A man dressed in a dark brocade robe was helped in, his mind seemed to be a little blurred. The two grandmothers outside laughed wryly, and one of them raised his voice and called, "Don't come out to help Yingchuan Hou yet." Yun Yao sighed in her heart and glanced outside. The outside was still dark, except for the two grandmothers, Gao Su and the eunuch who supported Gao Su, there was no fifth person.
She gritted her teeth and stepped forward to support Gao Su, suddenly feeling him stumble, and then pressed most of the weight on herself.
Gao Su seemed to be drunk, and he was a little unsteady even walking. When the eunuch handed him into her hands, he smiled equally wryly, and then left. The two grandmothers who were guarding the outside closed the door, and the footsteps of the eunuchs faded away, and the sounds of drinking and bargaining at the banquet seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.
She patted him lightly on the cheek, trying to call out a long compliment, but suddenly he raised a finger and pressed it to the lips.
He shook his head slightly, signaling that the partition wall had ears, and then deliberately accentuated the footsteps, staggering down the couch and kicking over the pillow on the couch. She didn't know Gao Su's true intentions, but she knew what he meant by what he had just done, so she called out to Ying Chuanhou in a soft and well-behaved voice, and then leaned forward timidly.
Gao Su stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and the sound of heavy breathing sprayed on the side of her neck, but the other hand wrote in her palm: The wall has ears and eyes.
ββIs that what you mean by someone watching their every move?
She blinked at Gao Su and wanted to ask him what he was supposed to do. But it was dark all around, except for a few cold moonlight omissions from the window. She couldn't see Gao Su's expression clearly, and she couldn't see her clearly, only the sound of his steady and powerful heartbeat was extremely clear in the dark.
He wrote in the palm of her hand: Wait until tonight, and it will be fine.
Then he took her hand and rubbed it gently for a moment, then hugged her waist and leaned over to kiss her.
