Chapter 163 Drilling
In the soft candlelight, Green Pearl's eyes were as gentle as spring water. She parted her lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness and reluctance: "Husband, rest for a while, let's do it again."
Her hands rested gently on Xiao Jinyan's firm chest, her eyes sparkling with endless longing for the joyful times.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan frowned slightly, his expression showing a mixture of helplessness and determination: "No, my darling, I do have something important to discuss with Yang Rong right now."
As he spoke, he began to slowly put on his clothes, his movements carrying a hint of urgency.
Seeing this, Green Pearl felt a surge of resentment. She hugged Xiao Jinyan tightly, pressing her body against him, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Hmm, no, husband, I won't let you go. Just stay with me a little longer, okay?"
Xiao Jinyan sighed softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and apology: "Baby, stop fooling around. I really have something urgent to deal with. Be a good girl and wait for me to come back. I promise, I will make sure you have a good time next time, and I will never break my promise."
Upon hearing this, Green Pearl smiled wryly, "Hmph, it's always the same. You can never truly satisfy me. Husband, do you already have someone else in your heart?"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of sincerity and determination: "Baby, believe me, this time it really is a special situation. After things are settled, I will definitely make it up to you and let you experience unprecedented pleasure."
As he spoke, he tried again to break free from Green Pearl's embrace and began to put on his clothes.
Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Green Pearl's eyes, but she quickly composed herself and a playful smile appeared on her lips: "Hmph, alright, husband, since you're so determined, then I'll leave some 'soup' for Yang Rong. So she won't keep complaining that I'm ruthless and don't even leave her a drop of soup."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but smile wryly. He gently patted Green Pearl's shoulder, his tone tinged with affection: "You're so naughty. Alright, I have to go now."
After saying that, he resolutely turned around and strode out of the room, leaving Green Pearl alone in the candlelight, heartbroken yet full of hope.
Xiao Jinyan's footsteps echoed in Mianyue Pavilion, each step seemingly in time, leading him straight to Yang Rong's room.
The door opened slightly, and a delicate fragrance wafted out, blending with the coolness of the night to create a subtle atmosphere.
Yang Rong was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, her fingertips gently playing with her long, cascading hair. The mirror reflected her face, which showed a hint of surprise but also a charming allure.
Upon seeing Xiao Jinyan, Yang Rong's lips curled into a playful smile. She stood up to greet him, her tone tinged with reproach: "You naughty boy, what brings you here?"
Before she could finish speaking, she had already pulled Xiao Jinyan into the room without saying a word, heading straight for the bed. As she sat down, she naturally took Xiao Jinyan's arm, rested her head gently on his shoulder, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Hmph, you rascal, I've been missing you so much these past few days."
Xiao Jinyan felt the warmth on his shoulder, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him. He gently placed his hand on Yang Rong's shoulder, his fingers unconsciously caressing her delicate skin, and said in a low, gentle voice, "Madam, I have come to see you because I have something important to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's lips curled into a sly smile, as if she could see through Xiao Jinyan's thoughts.
She suddenly stood up, and with an unexpected movement, gently lifted her skirt, revealing her long, smooth, jade-like legs, which she placed unabashedly on Xiao Jinyan's lap. She then guided his hand to her own leg, her fingertips lightly caressing it, her eyes gleaming with a provocative light: "What is it, you naughty boy? Can't you wait until I've satisfied you first?"
Xiao Jinyan's hand lingered on Yang Rong's leg for a moment, feeling its softness, which only strengthened his resolve to come here. He took a deep breath, his gaze hardening: "To be precise, I didn't come here specifically to find you, but I urgently need to find Hongxiu. There's something extremely urgent that I need her help with."
Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's playful expression was instantly replaced by surprise. She paused for a moment, then a deeper smile appeared on her lips. She slowly draped her other long, fair leg over Xiao Jinyan's leg, almost nestling her entire body into his embrace. Her tone was playful and provocative: "Oh? So you're looking for our Miss Hongxiu. It seems this matter is quite significant."
Xiao Jinyan's face was tense, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination: "Madam, I must find Hongxiu immediately, there is no time to lose."
"You little devil, have you forgotten what I said?" Yang Rong's voice was gentle but carried an undeniable air of authority. "Last time I reminded you that to find Hongxiu, you need to go to a secret place thirty miles north of Jiankang City on the night of the full moon."
Xiao Jinyan's anxiety remained: "Madam, I know your arrangements are always meticulous, but this matter is extremely urgent. I can't wait until the next full moon. I must see Hongxiu today; not a single second can be wasted."
Upon hearing this, Yang Rong frowned slightly: "Is the matter that urgent?"
“Yes, Madam, the situation is far more complicated than you imagine.” Xiao Jinyan’s voice was deep and powerful. “I must find Hongxiu immediately.”
Yang Rong remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before finally sighing softly, "If you are truly eager to see Hongxiu tonight, then there is only one way: go to the palace. And it must be at night."
"Enter the palace?" Xiao Jinyan frowned slightly. "But how can I enter the palace?"
Yang Rong smiled faintly: "What difficulty is there for you, Commander Xiao, to enter the palace?"
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Xiao Jinyan's eyes: "Madam, but this trip is no small matter. I must secretly enter the palace to find Hongxiu. I cannot use my identity as a Central Guard, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Yang Rong bit her lower lip, her eyes flashing with determination and cunning, and whispered to Xiao Jin, "If we want to enter the palace secretly, there is only one dangerous path left. We must sneak in quietly through that hidden dog hole."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan frowned and retorted, "Madam, what did you say? A dog hole? How could I, a dignified seven-foot man,..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Rong interrupted him with a light laugh. She leaned close to his ear, lowered her voice, and seemed to be telling a secret: "Yes, I heard Yin Rui mention in private that deep within the palace, there is a little-known corner with an inconspicuous dog hole, big enough for a person to pass through. Last time, during that palace coup, she secretly opened the Xuanwu Gate and was wanted by the court. She used that dog hole to escape the palace's many blockades without anyone noticing."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan gave a bitter smile: "Me, the dignified Xiao Jinyan, actually have to rely on crawling through a dog hole to enter the palace? This is simply..."
Seeing his hesitation, Yang Rong's eyes flashed with a sly glint: "What, husband, are you unwilling? If you are unwilling, then so be it. After all, that Hongxiu is just an ordinary woman. How much more charming can she be than me, Yang Rong?"
As she spoke, she gently stroked Xiao Jinyan's cheek with her slender hand, her fingertips tracing his resolute features before finally stopping at his lips, where she softly placed a warm and lingering kiss.
