Chapter 206 Sleep with me for a while?
"You're gone? Could you please send someone in to take care of me? Otherwise, I won't even have anyone to drink water." She said it in a rather pitiful tone.
“I will ask Lingchuan’s husband to come and take care of you.”
"Ah."
But she never expected that the person who would come in to take care of him next time would be Huang Ziliang.
Huang Ziliang, who had been talking with Sima Linchuan in the courtyard for a while, was about to return to his own courtyard.
But Sima Linchuan was held back by other matters.
He wanted to go to the room to take care of Wu Ziyan, but he couldn't.
I had no choice but to ask Huang Ziliang to look after it for a while.
Even before Han Yuxiu came out, after taking two steps with the tray, he encountered him.
"Mr. Huang, what brings you here again?"
The word "again" was used very aptly; indeed, he had just left this room.
He actually knew Sima Lingchuan's intentions; he probably thought Wu Ziyan liked him.
As a stay-at-home husband... I have to make sure all my younger brothers get a share of my affections.
Huang Ziliang pushed open the door almost seamlessly, just like Han Yuxiu.
Wu Ziyan assumed Han Yuxiu had returned and jokingly asked, "What? You still want it?"
What would you like, Miss?
She noticed something was off about the voice, so she struggled to lift her head slightly. Their eyes met, and a little awkwardness ensued.
Oh, it's Huang Ziliang. Didn't he already go back? Why is he back in the room?
"Ah...I want...I want to drink water, yes, I want to drink water, haha."
Anyone could see her embarrassment and awkwardness.
Huang Ziliang is so smart, he must know what happened in this room just now.
But he could pretend he didn't know. He went over, poured her half a cup of tea, and took two pillows.
Elevate her back and neck so she won't choke when drinking water and can rest more easily.
Even a doctor like Han Yuxiu hadn't thought of such a detailed approach.
Huang Ziliang took meticulous care of her, as if he were a genuine patient.
"Is this height suitable for you, miss?"
"Suitable, suitable."
"Miss."
"Hey."
Huang Ziliang somehow managed to pull out the box; he still had official business to attend to at this time.
But even if it's just for business, it's better than that awkward and somewhat ambiguous atmosphere from before.
That thick stack of papers contained some writing in Xiao Rongwen, which she couldn't understand at all.
Unexpectedly, Huang Ziliang could even understand Xiao Rong language and was carefully translating for her.
"Actually, there are only a few letters in this box, which are of great importance; the rest are just evidence of their correspondence."
"Do you have a purchase list? I mean, for purchasing bronze and ironware, because you can't possibly sell finished weapons."
"Of course there are no finished products, miss. Why are you using a question?"
"There are a few purchase lists, but the quantities are scattered, some small and some large, and the locations are all different."
"There must be workshops in the city where they privately forge weapons, and I wonder where they are hidden."
"I've been searching with my secret guards these past few days, and I should have some leads by now. Unfortunately, I'm under house arrest."
"It's all Ziliang's fault."
"Hey, there's no right or wrong. We all have to take it one step at a time."
"If we find the workshop that illegally forges weapons, and catch Sima Zongcheng and Wu Chengye red-handed..."
"I reckon they'll never be able to turn things around!"
“Finding the workshop is easy, but catching them on the spot might be difficult, and their power is so great that it can't be achieved overnight.”
"Ziliang, why do I feel like you're talking about the same things as my mother?"
"Ziliang wouldn't dare!"
"You don't need to act so respectful and timid in front of me. Just tell me, what are your thoughts on this?"
Huang Ziliang felt that this was still a very important strategy.
He moved closer to Wu Ziyan and whispered in her ear.
At first, when I listened attentively to the strategies, I didn't think much of it.
After I finished speaking, I felt a burst of heat on my ear, which made it a little itchy.
Turning my head again, I saw Huang Ziliang's profile. He was quite handsome, with that sickly, scholarly air about him.
He didn't know whose hand was on his heels, but his fingers traced from the bridge of his nose to his lips.
Her eyes were fixed on him with genuine sincerity, and Huang Ziliang quickly stepped back, almost tripping over Wu Ziyan's shoe.
Wu Ziyan also knew that such contact might frighten him.
She withdrew her hand and pointed to the edge of the bed: "Sit over here."
"Ziliang was terrified."
"Go on, I lost my temper just now, I promise I won't hit you."
"Let the news of the two princes' sudden deaths be sent to the border as quickly as possible by messenger birds."
"The Queen of Xiaorong Kingdom will definitely be uneasy about this. In the first place, the information we gave to the two princes was fabricated."
"If the emperor of Xiaorong Kingdom still has any affection for his two children, he will take action even if it is to use them."
"Those weapons they brought to the border definitely won't make it across!"
"They might even fall out with the Prime Minister and the Second Princess, and then they'll fight each other to the death."
"And then we find out that the two princes are not dead. Aren't we the ones who benefited the most?"
"Wonderful, Ziliang!" she said, and then reached out to pat Huang Ziliang's shoulder.
Although he didn't dodge, he still managed to pull his hand back.
"Then this matter should still be handled by Xiaoyun. At this time, Xiaoyun should be resting."
"Once he's rested, why don't you go and talk to him? After all, my account isn't as complete as yours."
"it is good."
"Ziliang, why are you the one taking care of me?"
“The husband of Lingchuan has other things to arrange, so he asked me to take care of you for now.”
Wu Ziyan had a rough idea of Sima Lingchuan's intentions.
Despite having so many servants available, he refused to use them and insisted on having Huang Ziliang come instead.
It seems he thought she also had some feelings for Huang Ziliang.
"Okay, then you can sleep with me for a while."
Huang Ziliang: ?
He looked shocked, his face full of disbelief, and there was even a hint of struggle in his eyes.
How could you say such a thing to a man so casually?
Wu Ziyan waved one hand repeatedly: "Ziliang, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."
"What I mean is, I'll take a nap, and you can take a nap too. You can stay by the bed, come on, I'll make room for you."
Isn't this still the same idea?
If someone walked in and saw the two of them sleeping together, I wonder what they would think!
……
"How about we forget about sleeping? You can just sit there and I'll count how many tassels are on this curtain myself."
"Then I'll trouble you to make room for me, Miss."
Huang Ziliang also had his own plans. Wu Ziyan moved a little closer to the bed, while Huang Ziliang sat on the edge of the bed.
I don't know if she feels safer when someone is leaning against her.
The wound didn't seem to hurt as much, and I felt a little sleepy even with my eyes closed.
Maybe I woke up too early this morning and wasn't fully awake.
She didn't move or do anything, except remove two of the pillows.
I leaned to the side and fell asleep, breathing evenly.
