Sang Qian was caught off guard and was pulled into the coffin. Her heart was pounding. At this time, she felt the other party holding her hand. She was even more shocked: Could this guy take this opportunity to be frivolous about me?
In such a small and closed space, she had to be very close to each other. In addition, there were people from Prince Qi's palace outside, and she couldn't make a sound, so if the other party was frivolous towards her at this time, there was nothing she could do about it.
.
At this moment, the other party's voice message sounded in her ears: "Your heartbeat is too fast, let me help you calm down."
Sang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed a warm breath coming from the palm of her hand and flowing through her body. Soon her rapid breathing calmed down unconsciously.
She finally realized that the other party was worried that her heartbeat would be too strong and someone from Prince Qi's mansion would find her outside.
Oops, what was I thinking just now? This is so embarrassing.
"What's wrong? It feels like your heartbeat is getting faster again?" Zu An's confused voice came.
Sang Qian's face turned red. She shook her head hastily and turned her face to the other side. When she saw the face of Lan Youyou, the concubine of Prince Qi, she couldn't help but be startled.
It seems that this coffin is specially made and has a cooling effect. The light blue magic circle lines give a faint blue light inside the coffin, so you can see the other person's face more clearly.
Although she usually knows how to perform skills and is not afraid of dead bodies, she has never had the experience of lying side by side with a corpse in a coffin. Coupled with the surrounding environment, the corpse's icy blue face is particularly frightening.
She subconsciously leaned closer to Zu An, and the warmth on his body made her inexplicably feel more at ease.
At this time, a familiar voice came from outside: "Everyone, please be quick and look around to eliminate hidden dangers. During the day, that guy Zu An was clamoring to check the body of the concubine, so don't let him take advantage of it."
"Yes!" The guards responded neatly from all around, and then they dispersed, apparently searching around.
Sang Qian's expression changed, and she quietly mouthed to Zu An: "Han Fengqiu?"
Being in the same capital, she naturally knew about this famous guest in Prince Qi's residence.
She didn't have enough cultivation and was worried that being at such a close distance would be noticed by a ninth-grade master, so she didn't dare to transmit sound with her vitality. Instead, she made mouth movements, worried that the other party wouldn't be able to understand, and at the same time, she used her fingertips to write words on the other person's chest.
Zu An subconsciously reached out to her slightly swollen chest to write a response, but he immediately reacted, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly said via voice transmission: "Yes, he is probably also worried that I will come to check secretly, so he came to make sure everything is safe."
.”
Sang Qian's face turned slightly red, obviously noticing the little episode just now, but she had no choice but to continue writing and responded: "Then what should we do now? Will we be discovered?"
"Don't worry, it's impossible for these people from Prince Qi's Mansion to inspect the coffin of Prince Qi's concubine." Zu An replied.
The two of them were close to each other, and Zu An was also worried about being discovered by Han Fengqiu, so he subconsciously leaned into Sang Qian's ear and spoke.
Sang Qian's ears were extremely sensitive, and when she felt the hot breath exhaled by the other person speaking, she felt a tingling sensation spread from her ears throughout her body, and her heartbeat sped up inexplicably.
At this moment, a guard suddenly shouted from outside: "Han... Han... Mr. Han!"
"What's wrong?" Han Fengqiu was a little dissatisfied with being called that by his subordinates.
The guard stammered: "This side of the coffin...this side...the concubine's clothes are exposed."
The two people in the coffin were startled. Zu An looked up and found that a corner of the concubine's skirt was pressed against the lid of the coffin. It seemed that Sang Qian accidentally got it there when she was checking it, and she was too late when she hid in the coffin.
I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to restore it.
Zu An quickly pulled the hem of the skirt in. At this time, Han Fengqiu's voice came from the side. Apparently he had also followed him: "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"
"Just now... I was still here just now." The guard pointed to a place on the coffin lid, his voice getting more and more panicked, "Mr. Han, today is the seventh day of the coffin, could it be haunted?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how could there be a ghost!" Han Fengqiu snorted, then footsteps sounded, and he had already walked to the coffin and put his hand on the coffin.
Sang Qian's heart almost jumped out of her chest, and her eyes were full of panic: "What should I do? What should I do?"
But she was stunned immediately because the other party hugged her tightly into his arms.
Sang Qian's mind went blank. How long had it been since then and he still took advantage of me?
However, this idea was immediately dismissed by her. After spending this time together, she understood that although the other party may not be a gentleman, he would never be confused about the importance and he must have his reasons for doing this.
Zu An was a little surprised. He was originally worried that the other party would struggle, but such cooperation would save a lot of trouble, so he used "Mingjing Feitai" with all his strength, diluting the two people's auras into nothingness.
Han Fengqiu felt it beside the coffin, and opened his eyes after a while: "If there is a living person inside, it will not be hidden from my eyes and ears, and this coffin lid..."
As he spoke, he pushed it and found that the coffin was not moving at all: "Look, doesn't this fit well? Don't think about it."
"But just now I clearly..." Before the guard could finish his words, the laughter of other guards came from the side:
"You've always been timid, I'm afraid it's just because of your eyesight."
"Yes, I just kept saying that today is the seventh day of my life, and I was afraid that the ghost of my concubine would come back."
"Is this what the storytellers at Tianqiao said about suspicion giving rise to hidden ghosts?"
…
Hearing the roar of laughter around him, the guard blushed and thought he had really seen it wrong.
Sang Qian inside looked at Zu An's hand on the inside of the coffin lid with wide eyes, her eyes full of admiration. The other party was so smart that she even guessed in advance that the other party was going to test whether the coffin lid had been opened.
The key is that Han Fengqiu is a ninth-grade peak expert. Although he will definitely not push with all his strength, it is not something that everyone can do to make him push without moving at all.
"Okay, okay, don't look anywhere here, be serious!" At this time, Han Fengqiu came out to stop everyone's play, "Everyone, please go outside and watch. Has Qiuyue arrived?"
Zu An's heart moved, Qiu Yue was the personal maid of King Qi's concubine.
"We're here!" Soon a guard came over with several maids.
Han Fengqiu nodded and said to Qiuyue and others: "You guys, please stay here these days and don't allow anyone to approach, especially Zu An. If anything happens, just scream."
After all, this is where the body of King Qi's concubine lies, and an ice formation is used to make her appearance look the same as when she was alive. Therefore, it is inconvenient for guards like them to stay nearby. The most suitable ones are these maids.
Qiuyue glanced at the coffin in the center of the mourning hall, and her face turned pale: "Mr. Han, today is the seventh day of the lunar calendar, the day when ghosts return home. They cannot be allowed to see their acquaintances in life, otherwise they will be nostalgic in the world and reluctant to rest in peace.
Go."
Han Fengqiu frowned: "They are all nonsense. Don't believe them. There are so many people guarding you and there are patrolling guards outside. What are you afraid of?"
After being scolded by him, Qiuyue looked aggrieved, but because of her low status, she did not dare to refute, so she could only accept it.
Han Fengqiu looked around again, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he took the people away.
It's not his fault for being careless. No one thought that someone would break into the heavily guarded Qi Prince's Mansion. He brought people here to keep watch today just in case.
Hearing the commotion outside, Sang Qian whispered: "What should we do now?"
Zu An said: "Get some sleep."
Sang Qian: "???"
She was about to ask again, but she saw that Zu An had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
She was smart enough to understand the other party's intentions immediately. Now there were guards around her, and they had just experienced the incident at the corner of their clothes, so now was the time when they were most vigilant.
Only in the second half of the night, when people are most tired and the strings in their minds that have been tense for a long time are loosened, is the best time to go out.
But I knew that I had to sleep in a coffin with a corpse next to me, and I always felt horrified.
She looked back at the body of King Qi's concubine, and finally chose to squeeze into Zu An's arms.
Being in such a closed and compact space, being so close to a young man, and feeling the man's masculinity, it was inevitable that she would have many complicated thoughts in her mind.
Objectively speaking, the other party is a really outstanding man in all aspects, but he is the uncle of the Chu family, and he seems to be confused with his sister-in-law. How can I have anything to do with him? Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my brother...
Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but fall asleep in Zu An's arms.
---
I finally managed to get the status back to normal, and even saved it. I updated it on time every morning. However, during the holidays, I went back to my hometown and had various things to do, which caused the status to collapse again. I will adjust and restore it as soon as possible. I'm really sorry, and I hope everyone can forgive me.
