Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 073 Please Save Them

The night was getting darker, Yin Ji finally put down his chopsticks, Xie Yun looked up quickly, only to see him grabbing Huipin's arm, looking at her coldly.

"Why are you still here? I'm going to bed... Do you want to wait outside?"

Xie Yun's face turned pale uncontrollably, even though she was still weighed down by things, she still retreated in embarrassment.

The palace door closed with a "bang" behind her, and she looked at the heavy wooden door unconsciously, with regret and powerlessness filling her heart. Should she have said it just now?

Is it too late to go in now?

She unconsciously took two steps closer, but someone blocked her way.

It was Huipin's maid, Doubao.

The other party had a baby face, with a dimple when she smiled, and looked very sweet and cute, but when she opened her mouth, her words were sharp and direct.

"Aunt Xie Yun, I really don't want to make things difficult for you, but since you've come out, you should be more tactful. The masters are inside, so how can we servants go in and out? What do you think?"

Xie Yun was speechless. She really didn't have the right to go in without permission. Even if she really went out and knocked on the door, she might not be able to see Yin Ji.

A man in high spirits doesn't care about anything.

But she couldn't leave like this, so she had to stand in the corridor and wait.

People in the undercurrent outside knew nothing. Yin Ji had already let go of Huipin's hand and leaned on the soft couch to open a book.

Huipin couldn't leave or stay, so she had to find a corner to eat snacks bit by bit.

After the drum was beaten twice, Cai Tianxi whispered a reminder that it was time to go to bed.

Huipin blushed immediately. Although she didn't have much expectation of serving the emperor, if she could spend the night in Qianyuan Palace, both the Queen Mother and the Xun family would be very happy.

She looked up at Yin Ji, but saw that he stood up and opened the window.

There was a person standing in the corridor, with a gray shadow and a thin waist, which made her look lonely against the lonely night.

It was Xie Yun. She didn't leave and was still waiting outside.

Yin Ji seemed to have guessed it long ago. There was no surprise on his face. He just stared at the person outside for a long time before speaking: "What do you think she is thinking about?"

She didn't come when she should come, and she didn't leave when she should leave.

Huipin was not sure whether he was asking her, so she didn't dare to speak without authorization. Cai Tianxi seemed to be dumb and didn't say anything. Yin Ji didn't seem to need anyone's answer. He looked at her and closed the window himself.

"Please bring hot water."

He spoke, and Huipin's heart jumped again, but the next moment the other party looked over: "I heard that you like the blood swallows sent before, take two more boxes back." 

Huipin was stunned, and it took a moment for her to react that this was to drive her away.

She was in a complicated mood, but she said nothing. After thanking him, she didn't need Cai Tianxi to lead the way, and she ran out of Qianyuan Palace.

Cai Tianxi rarely saw such a worry-free concubine, and couldn't help but sigh: "Madam Huipin's temperament is really lively."

Yin Ji had already leaned on the couch and closed his eyes: "Wash up, I want to sleep."
