Chapter 313 Someone Under the Bed
Wow, that's blatant flirting!
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, wondering if Yi Yun Kui knew that his concubine had this kind of personality.
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, he heard General He chuckle briefly and deeply: "Very well, then this humble general will do as Consort Yun wishes and begin from Consort Yun's bedchamber."
Gu Ya Yun laughed, then suddenly raised her voice: "You all wait outside. I will personally accompany General He inside to search."
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly. Judging from their conversation, this General He seemed to be quite familiar with Gu Ya Yun.
I don't know if it's a joke or if there's really an unusual relationship between them.
If it's the latter, then Gu Ya Yun accompanied General He in alone. If she were discovered, what would happen...?
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly as she recalled what Yi Moxu had said before: there was a spiritual energy restriction in the palace. Once someone used spiritual energy in the palace, the restriction would start to fluctuate, and it would be easy to determine where the spiritual energy came from.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand, and a sound-stealing bubble quickly condensed in her hand.
Footsteps sounded, and someone entered the room, followed by Gu Yayun's smiling voice: "General He, look, this is my bedroom. My bedroom isn't very big. There's a bed, two rows of cabinets for storing my clothes, a bookcase, a desk, a zither table, a dressing table, and two chaise lounges..."
"Although there are quite a few things, you can see almost everything at a glance. The only problem is that the bed is a little too big, ah..."
Gu Yayun glanced at her bed: "I took a short nap earlier, so the bed curtains haven't been hung up yet."
As Gu Yayun spoke, she walked to the bedside, where Ye Qing'an noticed the cloud-embroidered shoes on her feet.
"I just took a short rest earlier and haven't had time to tidy up yet, so it's a little messy. Please excuse me, General."
Ye Qing'an laughed. The bed is always a very private place, yet Gu Ya Yun deliberately showed this general her sleeping quarters. What she was really thinking was as clear as day. She even stopped using the formal "I" when addressing General He, simply referring to herself as "I".
General He had not spoken since entering the bedchamber. Ye Qing'an could only see a pair of black boots embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in silver thread appearing in his sight from time to time, pacing back and forth, as if looking through something.
“General, the space under that dressing table is so small, how could it possibly hide a person? The general is truly amusing…”
"Ah, the chess pieces on that board cannot be moved. That's an unfinished game from when the Emperor came last time and played chess with me. We'll have to continue playing next time."
He Yi glanced at it indifferently, said nothing, and then looked back at the bookshelf in the distance.
"That's just a bookshelf. You can see everything at a glance. Does General He think there's a secret room behind my bookshelf? Haha, if I built a secret room in my bedroom, what do you think General He would use it to hide?"
He Yi ignored him and went straight to the bookshelf. He picked up everything on the shelf and examined it carefully before tapping on it.
Then, he walked to a row of cabinets that were supposedly for storing clothes and opened the cabinet doors.
The clothes inside were neatly piled up, making it impossible to hide anyone.
He Yi raised his hand and knocked, then stepped back.
"Has the general finished checking everything? I told you, besides the general and me, there is no one else here."
He Yi pretended not to understand the obvious implication in Gu Ya Yun's words, and his gaze swept over the large bed before walking towards the bedside table.
After hanging up the bed curtains, Gu Yayun stood in front of the bed. Seeing He Yi walking towards her, her smile deepened: "General He, you'd better check this bed very carefully..."
He Yi walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt on the bed, and then tapped on the bed.
Gu Ya Yun covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh dear, General, do you really think there's anyone hiding under my bed? Well, my bed is big, and there is definitely room for someone to hide under it..."
As Gu Yayun was speaking, He Yi suddenly knelt down in front of the bed, grabbed the lower edge of the bed, and looked down at the bed.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a pair of panicked eyes.
He Yi suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on Ye Qing'an's face. After looking at her for a while, he was about to get up when Ye Qing'an quickly reached out and grabbed He Yi's wrist, writing two words on his hand: Save me.
He Yi pondered for a moment before raising his eyes: "Your Majesty, there really is someone hiding under this bed."
Gu Yayun thought He Yi was joking, so she just laughed and said, "Really? I have someone hiding down here. I just don't know if General He can help me keep this a secret?"
"If possible, then whatever General He desires, I... can fulfill it. I wonder what General He thinks?"
He Yi looked up at Gu Ya Yun, who smiled at him with a hint of ambiguity in her voice.
"I think it's probably not feasible. After all, the person hiding under Consort Yun's bed is someone the Emperor ordered me to find, even if it means digging three feet into the ground. If I were to protect Consort Yun because of her request, I'm afraid I would soon be beheaded."
As He Yi spoke, he suddenly grabbed Ye Qing'an's hand and dragged her out from under the bed.
Gu Ya Yun had no idea that there was actually someone hiding under her bed, and it was Ye Qing An no less. She stared wide-eyed at Ye Qing An, her eyes filled with terror: "You, you, you, how did you get here?"
Before Ye Qing'an could answer, Gu Ya Yun hurriedly said, "General He, you must believe me. What I said just now was just a joke. I really don't know why she was under my bed. I checked under the bed before, and there was nothing there."
He Yi's features were deep-set, and his resolute face showed no superfluous expression: "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, it was Your Highness who told me just now that there was someone hiding under your bed. I just said that there was someone under Your Highness's bed, but Your Highness only asked me to keep it a secret..."
Consort Yun's face turned pale: "I was just joking..."
As Consort Yun was frantically trying to figure out what to do, a startled cry suddenly rang out from outside: "Why are there people here again?"
"The palace's spiritual energy restrictions have detected fluctuations in spiritual energy within Yunhua Palace. Let's investigate! Who is it? Who dares to use spiritual energy within the palace?"
