Chapter 195: Si She, Long Time No See

Meng Qianqian slept until dawn, and when she woke up, Lu Yuan was already gone.

There was an early morning court session today, so he had probably gone to attend it.

Meng Qianqian rubbed her neck and looked at the thin layer of Fragrant Cloud Silk covering her stomach, muttering in a daze, "When did I fall asleep? I didn't even have a dream."

"I should have... not done anything to him last night, after all, I've always slept very honestly."

"Sister!"

Tan'er strode into the room.

Meng Qianqian moved the silk aside and lifted the curtain, asking, "Tan'er, was my sleeping posture good?"

Tan'er replied without hesitation, "It was good! At least, I wasn't woken up!"

Meng Qianqian thought, Nothing could wake you up, not even thunder.

Liu Qingyun didn't like having people follow her when she went out, so yesterday when she went to the Princess Mansion, she didn't bring Ban Xia and Tan'er.

Tan'er had been cooped up in the mansion, so she sat on a stool, swinging her little legs and muttering, "Sister, I want to go out and play."

"Sure."

Coincidentally, she also wanted to make a trip to Feng Shui Alley to see if Ji Li had returned to the capital.

However, before that, as a qualified daughter-in-law, she needed to pay her respects to her mother-in-law first.

Liu Qingyun was still asleep.

Meng Qianqian muttered strangely, "Didn't she sleep at all last night?"

After having breakfast with the old lady and Bao Shu at Tinglan Manor, the two of them left.

"Sister, why didn't you bring Bao Piggy?" Tan'er asked in confusion.

Meng Qianqian said, "What if my mother-in-law wakes up and finds that I, her daughter-in-law, am not around? Who will comfort her then?"

"Oh," Tan'er suddenly understood.

What Meng Qianqian didn't say was that if Ji Li had returned, in order to convince her, she might have to use some methods.

Having Bao Shu there might not be very convenient.

"Sugar Skewers—selling sugar skewers—"

Meng Qianqian heard the hawker's shout and walked over to buy two sparkling sugar skewers for Tan'er.

Tan'er was overjoyed. She grabbed the sugar skewers and skipped forward.

Suddenly, a group of Jin Yi Wei officers galloped towards them on the street.

Tan'er immediately recognized the leader, the commander, who was none other than Official Shangguan Ling, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

"The traitor!" Tan'er's face darkened. "Today, I must teach him a lesson!"

She exerted force and leaped up, aiming a flying knee strike at Official Shangguan Ling's head.

Official Shangguan Ling was on horseback and couldn't dodge to the sides, but he hooked his foot on the stirrup and sank towards the horse's belly, avoiding the attack. After dodging, he quickly sat back on the saddle.

Tan'er missed, and her toes touched the ground.

When she turned around in disbelief, Official Shangguan Ling was already far away.

Tan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth and threw the sugar skewer in her hand at the back of his head!

This time, she actually hit her target.

One of the accompanying Jin Yi Wei officers shot a flying dart at Tan'er.

Meng Qianqian's fingertip moved, and a silver needle deflected the hidden weapon.

Tan'er stomped her foot, "You're making me so angry! So angry! When I catch that traitor, I'll cut off his head!"

Meng Qianqian watched the group's departing figures and said thoughtfully, "Official Shangguan Ling has a pass to leave the city. It seems like they're planning to go out of the city. That direction is the South Gate. What are they going to do over there?"

After they had walked far away, one of the Jin Yi Wei officers asked, "Sir Official Shangguan, why didn't you kill that maid who tried to assassinate you?"

Official Shangguan Ling replied, "Meeting the King of Miaojiang is more important."

Feng Shui Alley.

Ji Li and Si She returned, exhausted and covered in dust.

Due to Ji Li's compass breaking again on the way, he had suffered one misfortune after another. He either fell into dry wells or stepped on animal traps, and he even dragged Si She into the bathhouse of Red Delight Courtyard, where they were beaten up by the girls.

Si She didn't kill him; he was truly a snake with a strong sense of loyalty.

Ji Li opened his folding fan with an air of unparalleled handsomeness and shook it lightly, "I cast a hexagram for myself, and it predicts great fortune upon my return to the capital!"

Si She's icy blue eyes glanced at him indifferently, "I didn't follow you to the capital because of your fortune."

Ji Li said, "I know, I know. You're looking for Chen Long, right? I've calculated it, he's neither dead nor missing. He's in the capital."

Si She replied, "I hope your hexagram is accurate."

Ji Li raised an eyebrow and flicked a strand of silver hair that fell on his shoulder, "My hexagram is as unparalleled as my looks; there's none like it in the world!"

Si She asked, "You got married?"

"How could I possibly get married? Hey?" Ji Li exclaimed.

As Ji Li spoke, he was startled by the large red double happiness character on the door, "Who? Who married me? Which foolish woman is recommending herself for my bed? I would never agree to such a marriage!"

Si She paused, "Youqi."

Ji Li exploded, "Call me Ji Li!"

"Ji Li!"

Ji Li's body trembled, and he turned around in disbelief, seeing Meng Qianqian suddenly appear behind him, "How is it you? And you too?"

Tan'er giggled, "Ji Gongzi? It's been a while!"

Si She pointed at the large red lantern hanging under Meng Qianqian's corridor, "I just wanted to remind you that it seems someone is getting married next door, so I put up a double happiness character for you."

Ji Li was not comforted at all, "You got married again? To whom this time?"

Meng Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Don't you know? You're asking even though you know."

"I don't know!" Ji Li exclaimed.

Ji Li was exasperated. After leaving the capital, Xiao Yinhu got married again!

Meng Qianqian hugged herself, "You've been my neighbor for so long, and you're not curious about my marriage?"

Ji Li roared, "How would I know you're serious? Besides, why would I care about your marriage? I only care about when I'll take your life!"

Meng Qianqian extended her fingers and started counting them, "Moon, night, light, butt—"

Ji Li bowed respectfully, "Yin Hu, I apologize!"

Si She looked at Meng Qianqian with suspicion, "You're the new Yin Hu?"

Meng Qianqian feigned ignorance and asked in surprise, "Who might you be?"

Si She removed his bamboo hat, "Si She."

Meng Qianqian's eyes flickered slightly.

Si She, it's been a while.

"You bet with Chen Long to see who could get more of the Twelve Guards?"

In the empty main hall, Ji Li exploded with frustration once again.

Meng Qianqian glanced at Si She across from her, "To be precise, I bet with Princess Wanping. Chen Long is now the adopted son of Chancellor Xun and also serves as a guard in Princess Wanping's mansion."

Ji Li, sitting to Meng Qianqian's left, was displeased and tapped her wrist with his folding fan, "Hey, why are you looking at him like that?"

Am I being ignored in my own home?

Meng Qianqian stared straight at Si She, "I can take you to see Chen Long, as long as you agree to come with me."

Si She said, "I can go see him myself."

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly, "Really? Are you sure you can see him and return safely? I might as well tell you the truth. There's a traitor among the Twelve Guards. Have you considered the possibility that this traitor might be Chen Long? With your skills, what are your chances of surviving in his hands?"

Ji Li tried to assert his presence, "Xiao Yin Hu, why don't you think I'm the traitor?"

Si She pondered, "Traitor, indeed."

Ji Li looked bewildered, "What do you mean by 'indeed'? Si She, what are you thinking?"

Si She turned to Meng Qianqian, "Alright, I agree."

Ji Li exclaimed in frustration, "Is anyone listening to me?! Another early chapter!"
