Chapter 629 Madam
Ye Qing'an left the Cloud Dream Realm with the pills Ling Yu had given her. She pretended to have just woken up from a nap, yawned, and then turned her head to look outside the door.
The door wasn't closed properly, and Ye Qing'an could indeed vaguely see the hem of a skirt flashing through the crack in the door.
It was exactly the same style of skirt that the maid had been wearing earlier.
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then called out, "Someone, prepare hot water. I want to take a bath and wash up."
"Yes."
Someone answered from outside the door, and soon a maidservant led people in carrying in hot water.
This time, however, it wasn't the same maid that Liu Enze had impersonated before.
"Would you like me to help you bathe, Madam?"
"No need." Ye Qing'an stood up, watched the maid unfold the screen, and then said in a low voice, "You can wait outside the screen for a while."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an let the maid remove the hair ornament from her head, and then take off the layers of wedding dress. Wearing only an undergarment, she went around to the screen, then took off the undergarment and entered the bathtub.
Ye Qing'an entered the bathtub, and faint voices could be heard outside the door: "What time is it? Has the Lord not arrived yet?"
"It's already past 11:45 PM, and the Lord is still outside. When we went out to collect the wedding money earlier, I saw Right Envoy Xing desperately trying to get the Lord drunk."
Someone outside chuckled softly: "Right Envoy Xing has always been quite unruly and casual with the Lord. Now that the Lord is getting married, Right Envoy Xing has finally found an opportunity to bully the Lord, so naturally he won't let it go easily."
"Yes, and besides, the Lord is being exceptionally easy to talk to today..."
Laughter filled the air outside, and then Ye Qing'an heard the voice of the maid Liu Enze had impersonated earlier: "We should go and urge them on. After all, tonight is the Lord's big day, his wedding night. If he gets really drunk, it wouldn't be good to leave the Madam here alone."
"Too."
Someone chimed in, "Then let's go and urge them on."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. Liu Enze really couldn't wait any longer.
Ye Qing'an took her time to bathe, then changed into a red casual outfit before going outside.
Liu Enze, disguised as a maid, walked in from outside the door: "This servant will pour you a cup of tea, Madam. Please have some tea, Madam. This servant has already sent someone to invite the Lord. Today is the Lord and Madam's wedding day, and it is not good that the Lord is so late."
Upon hearing the maid's words, Ye Qing'an suddenly clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her expression becoming somewhat tense. She pursed her lips tightly and after a long while, she finally said, "Okay, I understand."
Liu Enze poured the tea and stood aside to wait.
Ye Qing'an sipped her tea, but her expression and movements betrayed her nervousness.
After a long while, a voice suddenly rang out from outside: "The Lord has arrived! The Lord has arrived!"
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Qing'an almost instinctively stood up abruptly, causing some tea to spill from the teacup on the table.
Ye Qing'an seemed completely oblivious, staring intently at the doorway, her entire body tense.
Liu Enze, disguised as a maid, glanced at the spilled tea on the table, then at Ye Qing'an, who seemed quite uneasy, and lowered her voice to ask, "What's wrong, Madam? Why do you look so nervous? Has something happened?"
Ye Qing'an seemed to snap out of her daze. She quickly glanced down, shook her head, took a deep breath, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "No, it's nothing. It's just that I'm a little nervous about getting married for the first time."
The maid smiled and said, "The Lord is very happy today. Madam, please don't show that you are unhappy. Otherwise, it might spoil the Lord's mood."
Ye Qing'an remained silent for a moment before nodding gently: "I understand."
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, they heard a lot of footsteps approaching the door. The footsteps were a bit chaotic, and Xing Jun shouted loudly, "Quickly, quickly, help the Lord inside. The Lord is drunk."
Ye Qing'an tried to suppress her emotions, but she was still a little nervous. She only took a few steps forward and reached the door.
Soon, servants helped Yi Moxu in.
Yi Moxu's face was flushed, her steps were unsteady, and her body swayed constantly.
"Madam? Madam!"
Yi Moxu kept shouting loudly.
Ye Qing'an hurriedly went over: "Your...Your Majesty, I'm here."
Yi Moxu chuckled softly: "I see you, Madam..."
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he raised his hand to break free from the support of the others and stumbled towards Ye Qing'an. Before he reached Ye Qing'an, he tripped over himself and fell towards her.
Ye Qing'an exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to support the person.
However, drunk people are heavier than usual. Ye Qing'an was knocked back several steps and tripped on the footboard in front of the bed, causing her to fall heavily onto the bed.
Yi Moxu then pressed down directly on Ye Qing'an.
A sudden exclamation rang out from inside the room, accompanied by some jeering.
Ye Qing'an's face turned bright red, and she simply pushed Yi Moxu to the side.
Xing Jun laughed heartily: "The relationship between the Lord and his wife is truly wonderful. Alright, tonight is the Lord's wedding night. A moment of bliss is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so let's not disturb them. Come on, let's go outside and continue our drinks."
"No one should stay inside."
Xing Jun seemed to have drunk quite a bit, his face was flushed, but his eyes were still relatively clear. He simply waved his hand to urge people outside.
"Let's go, let's go out, let's go out."
Everyone was kicked out, and the door was slammed shut.
Xing Jun laughed heartily: "Come quickly, lock this door for me, so that the Venerable One has no bridal chamber and is not allowed to come out."
Someone did come up and lock the door.
Ye Qing'an even heard the sound of the lock being locked.
"Although tonight is Your Majesty's joyous occasion, the army of Siyou Kingdom is still lurking outside the city, ready to pounce. We cannot afford to be so engrossed in drinking and revelry that we forget our duties. Tonight, we must strengthen our defenses, increase patrols within the city, and also intensify patrols at the city garrison's residence. Furthermore..."
Xing Jun pursed his lips: "The Lord had already given instructions that tonight, there might be people from the Siyou Kingdom's army sneaking into our city, intending to coordinate with the Siyou Kingdom's army outside the city."
"Our lord said that tonight, we will trap the army of Siyou Kingdom in a trap and perform a ruse."
"No one is allowed to stay outside. Everyone must return to their own rooms, and then be on full alert and set up the protective barrier!"
"Even though the Siyou Kingdom's army has infiltrated our city, they cannot understand the code signals represented by our horns. You all need to stay awake tonight and listen carefully to the horn sounds."
"Yes!" came the orderly reply from outside.
"Withdraw, each of you proceed separately and prepare your own way."
