44. Chapter 44

44 shared baths

The little mouse was honest, and he really picked it up and sniffed Tang Ai.

Tang Ai's goosebumps fell to the ground, and he could cook porridge and drink it when he rubbed it, and slipped the little mouse with his sleeve and hand to the side with a black face.

The little mouse looked at Xiao Yu again: "Alas? How is your leg lame? ”

Xiao Yu put on a miserable crying face: "How long has the dwarf smashed the pit and squatted, I have been standing for as long as I have been, and now my legs and stomach are still turning." ”

"Brother, you're working so hard." The little mouse showed his admiration for Xiao Yu with his eyes, and beckoned the two of them to go to the palace.

Tang Ai didn't say a word, and rushed forward to look at it without saying anything, but one hand quietly stretched out to Xiao Yu and twisted it on Xiao Yu's arm.

Xiao Yu turned his face, his facial features were distorted, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Tang Ai looked at him like this, and evoked a smile of victory, as if he had taken revenge.

At the beginning of the night when the lantern was hanging in Ziweiyuan, Concubine Qian and Xinning were having dinner in the main hall of the Yufu Palace, and they didn't ask anyone to serve them, so most of the little eunuchs and little palace maids in the Yufu Palace were clustered in the courtyard outside the main hall, muttering three sentences about catching assassins.

Xiao Yu took advantage of this group of little minions to chew the root of his tongue wholeheartedly, and took Tang Ai to sneak into Xinning's Zuiyunxuan, and followed up in his own backyard.

There was no one in Zuiyun Xuan, Xiao Yu was lazily leaning on the brocade couch, and after a while, it was like he was going to fall asleep with his eyes closed, and he was so bold and reckless.

Tang Ai's attention was all attracted by something in the room.

It was a portrait painting hanging on the wall.

There are two people on the painting, one big and one small, one tall and one short, how to look at how to behave intimately and ambiguously.

These are two people, a man and a woman, and Tang Ai still knows each other. Not only did she know the person in the painting, but she couldn't even easily see which "master" the painting was from.

The people in the painting are Xiao Yu and Xin Ning.

Tang Ai dared to play 10,000 package tickets, this painting was painted by Xiao Yu!

Even the inside of the painting is already together, and you dare to say that you have nothing to do with Xinning?! What about trust between people?! Tang Ai couldn't wait to punch Xiao Yu in the chest, but he didn't have a seizure.

She wanted to hear what else Xiao Yu could say.

Xiao Yu half-opened his eyes and smiled at Tang Ai's back, his voice was lazy and casual: "Tang Ai, I never told you before, I have the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, and the fifth brother, the sixth brother and the seventh sister, and-"

"You've got a lot of people!" Tang Ai interrupted him with a smack, turned his head and retorted.

She didn't want to hear his nonsense at all!

"That's right, big family, I haven't met many people." Xiao Yu rubbed his temples casually, "I don't think the old man may be able to recognize all his women." ”

He was muttering something that Tang Ai couldn't hear clearly, when suddenly there was a clangling sound outside the house.

Needless to say, this is Xinning's return. Listening to the footsteps, Xinning was in a rather irritable period again.

"Get out of here! No one is allowed to follow me anymore! She roared as she walked, drove away the little minions behind her, and pushed the door open.

After entering the house, Xinning couldn't yell anymore. Because, she saw Tang Ai and Xiao Yu in the house.

"Four-dead man!" Xin Ning changed her voice, turned "four" into "death", and rushed into Xiao Yu's arms in an instant, flying her eyebrows like surprise, pouting and like angry, "You said you would be back soon!" Where have you been?! Where have you been?! ”

Xiao Yuyu got up, touched Xinning's brain and smiled warmly: "I went to do something with Lord Xiao Tang." I knew you missed me, so I rushed back as fast as I could. ”

Xinning's "dead man" was coquettish and soft. And Xiao Yu's timbre is clear and elegant, gentle and indifferent, and seems to be infinitely caring and spoiled. No matter who listens to this voice, he will feel that his ears are going to be pregnant.

Tang Ai is no exception. Xiao Yu's voice was intoxicating, and the actions of the two of them were so intimate, in Tang Ai's eyes, the two of them were simply flirting openly and scolding!

She only felt that she had to grow a needle's eye, and she seemed to have become the superfluous person again. This feeling was so uncomfortable that she couldn't wait to raise her big knife and rush forward and split the pair of greasy and crooked men and women with a single sword.

Xin Ning shook her face angrily to Tang Ai: "The 'ghost' didn't catch it, but there was an assassin, isn't it a good thing you did?" ”

Before Tang Ai answered, Xiao Yu had already put away his smile and said to Xin Ning: "Lord Xiao Tang is a hundred households with six doors, and his official rank is not low, you ask Lord Xiao Tang to help investigate, so be polite to others." ”

Xin Ning snorted, and then stuck into the crook of Xiao Yu's arm, turned his back to Tang Ai and said, "Little dwarf, I want to bathe, you go and they will boil water for me with the little mouse." ”

"......" Tang Ai's left face was blue, and the right side of his face was purple, and his knuckles began to creak.

Xiao Yu gently broke away from Xin Ning's embrace: "Lord Xiao Tang is here to report the results of the investigation to you, and I will help you do the boiling water." ”

He also ignored Xinning's obstruction, and walked out of the door in a hurry.

Xin Ning stomped her feet and sat back at the table: "Say, what do you gain?" ”

Tang Ai saw that Xinning finally got back to the point, so he didn't bother to be angry with her, and briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

After hearing this, Xinning let out a low "um", squeezed together with her eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very entangled: "You really didn't see those two dog men and women pretending to be ghosts?" ”

Tang Ai shook his head solemnly, and then asked Xin Ning to resign, saying that he had no ability and could not get involved in the internal disputes of the royal family.

Xinning glanced at her in disappointment and didn't speak for a while.

Tang Ai still had something to ask Xinning, she felt that it was time to ask about the relationship between Xinning and Xiao Yu.

Seeing that Xinning's expression gradually calmed down, she asked cautiously: "Your Royal Highness Princess, dare to ask you and-"

Who knew that before she finished speaking, the little minions were spreading the word, saying that they had prepared the bathing needs for Xinning.

Xin Ning shouted again and blasted everyone away, and the little eunuchs and palace maids retreated suddenly, but Tang Ai and Xiao Yu were specially left behind by her. Xinning lay next to the large bathtub and stirred hot water and flower petals, and had no intention of jumping in to wash it for the time being.

Tang Ai tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve and said embarrassedly: "Princess bathing, shouldn't we avoid it?" What's the matter with staying here?! This is another big sin to lose your head! ”

"That's right. A gentleman behaves in the world, self-denial and revenge. Xiao Yu pointed to the big screen in the corner, pulled Tang Ai's help, and set up the screen.

In this way, the screen separates Tang Ai and Xiao Yu from Xinning, the two of them are on the side of the screen, Xinning is on the side of the screen, and when they look at the two of them, they can only see Xinning's small and delicate figure.

Xin Ning then withdrew her clothes, and the little shadow slowly dipped into the steaming water.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps brushing outside, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer to Zuiyunxuan, and there were noisy human voices among them, and the voice of the little mouse was also mixed in.

I only heard the little mouse shouting: "This is Princess Xinning's bedroom, the princess is bathing, you, you can't go in!" ”

"We are searching at the behest of the Queen. The eunuchs in the palace are all organized, and yesterday we have found out from the celebrant that there are still people outside the establishment among the eunuchs in the harem, and it is difficult to guarantee that the assassin is not disguised as a eunuch and mixed into the palace! This voice is shrill and soft, but fierce, you must know that she is also a eunuch.

There was another person who was with the eunuch: "The queen mother ordered us to search for the six palaces of the east and west, once a day, and now we have arrived at your Yufu Palace." Why are all the other palaces searched, but only you Yufu Palace can't be searched? Our search is also for the sake of the safety of Concubine Qian and the princess, we will go to the princess, I believe that the princess understands the righteousness and will understand our difficulties as slaves! ”

Xinning heard this voice and stood up from the bathtub on the ground. Her Drunken Cloud Xuan is spacious and bright, and there is nothing to hide people, as long as the people who are ordered to come to search push the door in, Tang Ai and Xiao Yu will definitely be exposed on the spot.

Xinning's face was full of panic, and she didn't even have time to wrap the towel, so she stood in the bathtub in a daze, and her head couldn't stop sweating.

The eunuch who had come to search the palace was already standing in front of the door at this time, and he proudly repeated the words that had been ordered to search, and then he was about to enter.

To be honest, Tang Ai's chaos at this time has to fight with Xin Ning. She only felt a force pull on her wrist, and her body staggered, and she was dragged forward by this force.

This power can only come from Xiao Yu.

He didn't pull Tang Ai to hide somewhere else, he just dodged and ran from this end of the screen to Xinning's end.

"Sit back." Xiao Yu's voice was inaudible. When he said this, he didn't look at Xin Ning, let go of Tang Ai's wrist, but his fingers pressed on Xin Ning's shoulder again, and instantly pressed Xin Ning back into the bathtub.

Xiao Yu's movements were as fast as sparks, and Tang Ai and Xin Ning didn't have time to react. Xin Ning was fine, but she was back in the hot water, and Tang Ai's next encounter was not something she could have imagined.

In the flash of light, Xiao Yu had already taken Tang Ai into the bathtub.

The moment Tang Ai fell into the bathtub, he still said something in Tang Ai's ear: "This bathtub is so big, it must be able to fit the two of us." ”

Tang Ai was stunned for a while, only to feel that the heat wave was all over his body, and the top of his head was not in the hot water. However, in a sudden, she actually remembered that she had heard Xiao Yu say this a long time ago.

As a result, the bathtub at this time was large and all-encompassing, and it actually contained the No. 3 living person in an instant. Tang Ai and Xiao Yu were both buried in the water from head to toe, and only Xinning's head and neck were exposed above the water.

At the same time, the eunuchs who came to search the palace outside the house had turned the garden of Zuiyunxuan upside down.

With a bang, the door was pushed open by several people.

Xinning's residence was the last place they searched.

It happened too suddenly, Tang Ai didn't know how to be watery, and he didn't know how to hold his breath, and after a while, he was about to carry it.

Just when she was about to suffocate if she didn't come out of the water, two cold thin lips pressed against her lips, without warning, and she couldn't prevent it.

The person who buried himself underwater with Tang Ai was Xiao Yu, so there was no doubt that Xiao Yu was using his lips and teeth to knock Tang Ai's lips and teeth, sending a cool breath into Tang Ai's mouth.

Tang Ai's mind seemed to be extremely unconscious, and it seemed to be extremely sober.

Infinite currents of heat roamed inexplicably within her body, constantly colliding with the cool breath.

Tang Ai could realize Xiao Yu's "non-trivial move", but he couldn't absorb his breath uncontrollably, unscrupulous, wanton, and willful.

She even stretched out her hands and hugged Xiao Yu's body tightly, as if as long as this was the case, she could be very safe and could stay in this embarrassing environment for a long time.

Xiao Yu's body moved slightly at first, but soon he was very obedient to Tang Ai's hands, and he also put his left hand on Tang Ai's shoulder blade.

Xin Ning, who was above the water, was unprecedentedly calm at this time, just like Tang Ai and Xiao Yu had never been in the bathtub, and their eyes swept over the eunuchs one by one: "This palace likes to hear others say that this palace is reasonable, so let you search it well." ”

Those people were not polite to Xinning, and they said that they would search. Xin Ning looked at a few people with bare eyes, and only then did she curse when they left with nothing.

And her mother, Concubine Qian, also came to her Zuiyun Xuan after the eunuchs left.

Concubine Qian stood at the door and looked at Xinning twice, her eyes were waveless, and her eyes only lingered on the ground around the bathtub for a short while. When Xiao Yu and Tang Ai turned into the bathtub, it was inevitable that the water in the tub would overflow.

Xin Ning blushed and said to Concubine Qian: "Mother, I have worried you, there is nothing to do here." ”

"I believe those minions won't come again, you should rest early." Concubine Qian smiled lovingly, took her graceful figure and left.

Xin Ning watched Concubine Qian's back disappear, let out a long breath, hurriedly took a towel and wrapped her body, jumped out of the bathtub, and after making sure that there was no one outside, she covered the doors and windows tightly.

"Fourth brother, everyone is gone, come out quickly!"

The voice of "fourth brother" was called anxiously and cordially by her.
