Chapter 161: Leading Yunji to Perform Qinggong
Sure enough, just as Song Cheng and Song Yue said, the room was empty, without a single person in sight.
Fearing that the two people inside would be caught red-handed, the Song siblings breathed heavily when they saw the hall door wide open.
But no matter how hard they looked, the main hall looked the same, gloomy and dark, without a single living thing breathing.
Only various valuable decorations greeted them silently.
"What are you standing there for?" As he had expected, Yun Ting saw something strange happening inside. He frowned and ordered them to enter the hall, "Come in quickly!"
A moment ago, in the main hall.
Listening to the verbal exchanges between Yun Ting and the Song siblings, Nan Yingzhi felt something was wrong.
When was there any time when she and Yun Ji had a secret meeting in the palace and Yun Ting didn't come in?
Among the Thirty-Six Strategies, running away is the best one. Instead of hiding here, it is better to slip away!
She was about to let Yun Ji go and leave him here, but suddenly she remembered that Yun Ji should not be here at the moment.
At least, the explanation given by the Song brothers and sisters was, "There's no one in the room." Logically, Yun Ji should have stayed in the side hall instead of here.
Not wanting to speak loudly, Nan Yingzhi lowered her voice and explained, "Yun Ting is making trouble. I'm afraid it won't be long before he breaks in. Let's leave quietly through the window."
Nodding, Yun Ji got off her legs and stood there, waiting for her to leave together.
Nan Yingzhi didn't want to fall behind at this moment, but she had no choice. Her legs were numbed by his sitting, and every time she moved, she felt numb and itchy.
In a short period of time, the only way to relieve the pain is to rub it vigorously with your palms.
Seeing her pinching her thighs continuously, Yun Ji finally realized that she was in so much pain because he had enjoyed it for too long.
Feeling ashamed for a moment, he bent down cautiously, stretched out his slender jade fingers and started to rub her.
Hearing Yun Ting's footsteps getting closer, he was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic, but at the same time he inexplicably had a determination to face death calmly.
If the truth is revealed, Xiao Zhizi could just join Song Cheng in holding Yun Ting hostage here and then seize the throne.
At the critical moment, Yun Ji heard Nan Yingzhi's words "Hold me tight", and she picked him up horizontally and jumped out of the window lightly.
Even though she was holding someone in her arms, her movements were still agile, and the two of them floated in the air.
The autumn wind howled, came before them, and then stopped, appearing lingering.
Nan Yingzhi suddenly realized that on the fifteenth day of last month, when she sent Yunji back to Zhuixia Palace and rushed to the palace gate, the thought of "what would it be like to practice Qinggong with Yunji" already had an answer.
No matter how fierce the wind was, the person hanging on her body would always lean on her chest, warming her heart.
The two of them snuggled together, looking extremely charming.
Worried that carrying Yunji and moving in the air for a long time would attract too much attention, Nan Yingzhi carried him around for two circles, then touched the ground with her toes and gathered the energy in her dantian to send him back to the side hall.
Seeing the young lady being held in such an intimate posture by the Regent, Lanfu was shocked. Her mouth opened into a circle, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
When Yun Ji said "Get out of here", she finally realized that she was an eyesore.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she closed her mouth, lowered her head, and quickly retreated to the side hall to leave space for the two of them.
"Qingchuan'er," Nan Yingzhi shook him gently after seeing him startle Lan Fu and get into her neck like a young wife. "We're home now. I'll put you down, okay?"
"No, this place is not my home without you." Yun Ji raised his head and continued the topic, whispering in her ear, "Little Gardenia, when will you give me a real place to stay?"
The ears were Nan Yingzhi's sensitive spot. As expected, under Yun Ji's intentional manipulation, her originally white earlobes suddenly turned blood red.
With the beauty in his arms, Nan Yingzhi experienced for the first time how apt the phrase "lust can blind one's mind" is.
She was not paying attention for a moment and was almost mesmerized by Yun Ji's warm breath, making her unable to think.
Tilting her head slightly, Nan Yingzhi clenched her teeth and summoned her rationality: "It will be soon, wait a little longer."
"Xiao Zhizi," Yun Ji rolled his eyes and inquired about the upcoming hunting schedule, "How many days will the hunting be held this year?"
Seeing that his hands were tightly hooked around her neck, Nan Yingzhi realized that he had no intention of coming down for the time being.
Hearing Yunji trying to change the subject seriously but not letting go of his hand, she smiled briefly and carried him into the side hall.
"I heard from Song Cheng that hunting used to take five days, but this year, since most of the funds were allocated to the military, the budget was insufficient, so it was only held for three days."
"Three days," Yun Ji felt at ease being held by her, his arm around her neck not loosening, "Which day do you plan to pick to start?"
"The next day," Nan Yingzhi took him in and sat him on the couch with a gentle expression, "It's too early to take action right after we get there, and it's too late to take action at the end.
"So, it's safer to go over there and observe the situation first, and then act when the time is right."
"Xiao Zhizi," after asking this, Yun Ji secretly asked what he wanted to ask the most, "When are you going to cook for me?"
Originally, Nan Yingzhi planned to seize the throne, and cook for him before leaving after everything was settled.
But when she thought about it carefully, at that time, there was a transfer of power, and as the new emperor, she would most likely not have time to accompany him, let alone cook, so she stopped talking.
"I can do anything," Nan Yingzhi put her arm around his waist, her lips curled up slightly, "It depends on you."
After thinking for a moment, Yun Ji made a decision: "Before you take action."
Although she had plenty of time to accompany him before the operation, cooking would inevitably leave traces and be easily discovered. Nan Yingzhi was puzzled: "Why do we have to do it before?"
Having already prepared for the worst, Yun Ji's words were well-reasoned.
"If unfortunately, you lose to Yun Ting, and we both end up in the underworld, we won't become starving ghosts and be unable to reincarnate, which will affect our next life."
“This…” After being speechless for a moment, Nan Yingzhi suppressed the words “Those who died of hunger are the ones who died of starvation. If we were beheaded by him, it shouldn’t count, right?” and complained in a low voice, “Why does this meal sound like the last meal before execution?”
Selectively ignoring this unlucky name, Yun Ji blinked: "At least, I don't want to leave any regrets before I die."
Originally full of confidence, Nan Yingzhi's tone became uncertain after hearing what he said: "We should still succeed, right?"
"Xiao Zhizi," Yun Ji said firmly, "Even if this fails, I will accompany you to the underworld."
"Well, don't say such discouraging words." Not wanting to boost others' morale and destroy her own prestige, Nan Yingzhi argued, "At least Yun Ting is in the hunting ground. Without Jin An's help, our chances of winning are quite high."
With some paranoia in his eyes, Yun Ji stared at her, his eyes never moving: "Whether it succeeds or not, I will be with you."
Thinking of something, Nan Yingzhi stretched out her hand and covered his lower abdomen: "The scene may be bloody by then, you stay with me, or find a place to hide, and I will come to find you.
"Remember, don't get too excited."
Yun Ji had been to the battlefield in his previous life and had seen a lot of blood and gore, so it was impossible for him to be scared by a mere fight for the throne.
But he didn't quite understand why Nan Yingzhi asked him not to get excited.
Being touched by her made him feel itchy, but he didn't want to avoid her. Yun Ji gently placed his hand on the back of her hand, and asked with a trembling voice, "Why?"
Recalling Dugu Yue's assertion that "it's easy to get pregnant, but hard to keep the baby", Nan Yingzhi pondered for a moment and decided to tell him everything.
"Qingchuan'er," she noticed his voice trembling, as if it was tickled, so she loosened her grip a little and started from Jin'an, "Do you remember you mentioned to me that Jin'an hinted that this joy powder has miraculous effects?"
