Chapter 39 Secret Preparations
So fast?Bai Ziwan looked back instinctively, but there was no one behind her, she listened to her, "Are you sure he's coming after you?"

Yun Xiang nodded and said firmly, "If the master doesn't believe it, you can ask him to come out and try." She pointed to the roof on the left.

She has practiced martial arts with her master since she was a child, and she has excellent hearing. No sound can escape her ears within ten feet around her.

Having said that they don't like being followed, Yuan Hongyi still asked Xiao He to follow them.Bai Ziwan frowned, a trace of displeasure and irritability flashed across his heart, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Since you're here, don't follow behind sneakily, come out."

Xiao He jumped down from the roof, put his sword on the ground, half-kneeled and saluted, "My subordinate Xiao He has seen the Fifth Prince and Concubine."

"Get up." When Xiao He got up, Bai Ziwan stepped forward and stared at him, "Tell me, why have you been following us?"

Xiao He replied in a respectful voice, "This subordinate didn't intend to follow the imperial concubine, it was the fifth master who asked his subordinates to come to protect the imperial concubine's safety."

Protect?Surveillance is more or less the same!
Seeing the suspicion in Bai Ziwan's eyes, Xiao He said, "Although the matter of Xi Chu Kingdom has subsided, Shenghui Kingdom and Tianxu Kingdom have been on the verge of action in the past two months. The imperial concubine and Miss Yunxiang are both helpless women. The fifth master was worried that the imperial concubine would encounter bad people on the road, so he ordered his subordinates to follow the imperial concubine and protect the imperial concubine. The fifth master said, from now on, the subordinates will be the imperial concubine's bodyguards."

Her bodyguard?Bai Ziwan's heart was shocked, but his face remained unchanged, "You just said that the Fifth Prince gave you to me?"

"Yes."

She has seen Rue Xiang's kung fu before, although she suspects that Rue Xiang did not use real kung fu that day, with her around, she naturally does not have to worry about her own safety, but Dizzy Mushroom is a woman after all, if others know that Rue Xiang knows martial arts, she is afraid is not good.

However, Xiao He is Yuan Hongyi's personal bodyguard, if Xiao He stays by his side, he will not report his whereabouts to Yuan Hongyi, and she will never allow such a person by her side.Bai Ziwan said, "You don't have to protect me, go back, I'll go back after buying some rouge with Yunxiang."

"Fifth Master is no longer in Linjiang City."

"He's not in Linjiang City, where did he go?" Bai Ziwan turned and stared at Xiao He, Yuan Hongyi was not in Linjiang City, could it be that he could go to other places.

"My subordinates don't know." Xiao He said, "Before he left, the fifth master only ordered his subordinates to follow the imperial concubine every step of the way to protect her safety."

"Where is the sixth prince? Did you leave with the fifth prince?"

"The sixth master did not leave with the fifth master."

Bai Ziwan frowned, still staring at Xiao He, not letting go of his subtle expression, and said, "So you're following me?"

Xiao He remained silent, but the meaning was still clear.

Bai Ziwan said, "You can follow me, but you must promise me that from now on, no matter what you see or hear, you are not allowed to reveal a word to the Fifth Prince without my permission. Also, If you don’t understand, if I don’t tell you, you don’t have to ask.”

Xiao He was at a loss, and still said, "Since the fifth prince gave his subordinate to the fifth prince and concubine, the fifth prince and concubine is the master of the subordinate, and naturally the subordinate will not betray the master. If the fifth prince and concubine does not trust the subordinate, the subordinate I swear..." He raised his hand and made an oath.

Bai Ziwan rolled her eyes, and hurriedly stopped her, "I don't need to swear, as long as you remember what you said."

The courtyard, which was already quiet, looked more desolate and lonely due to the cold in winter.A thick layer of ice had formed on the lake, and the wind was bitingly cold, and even the sunshine pouring down on the face carried its unique coldness in winter, which made people feel no warmth.

Bai Ziwan sat on the rock by the lake, staring at the lake in rapt attention, her thoughts wandered, her lips raised, her eyes were smiling, as if thinking of something happy, but before the smile could reach the end, her eyes disappeared, leaving nothing behind. A soft sigh followed.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Bai Ziwan said, "Xiao He is back?" His eyes were still staring blankly at the lake.

Rue Xiang answered yes.Bai Ziwan blinked, put away his thoughts, and returned to normal when he turned around, "Then let's go back."

Xiao He, who was waiting in the room, saw Bai Ziwan coming in, and hurriedly stood up.Zi Wan walked to the table and sat down, waved her hand, motioning for Xiao He to sit down, then poured a glass to Xiao He, and poured another glass for herself, the top-quality Biluochun tasted mellow.

Xiao He was flattered and held the teacup, neither drinking nor not drinking.

"Why don't you drink it?" Bai Ziwan took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao He opposite, and joked, "You don't worry about me poisoning the tea, do you?"

Xiao He shook his head intuitively, and replied, "Of course not, it's just the imperial concubine, no, the master's actions have ruined his subordinates. Please don't do this in the future, master."

Hearing this, Bai Ziwan shook his head noncommittally, held the teacup to his lips, looked at the quiet and low sky outside, and unconsciously drank tea.

It has been half a month since Yuan Hongyi left without knowing it. His departure made Bai Ziwan feel inexplicably relaxed, like taking off the shackles that had been covering her body all along, making jokes with Yuan Hongyi every day, or telling them modern jokes, It made them laugh out loud every time, and even Xiao He, who had a cold face all day long, couldn't help laughing along with him.

"How is the progress of what I asked you to do?" Bai Ziwan poured another half a cup of tea and asked Xiao He,

Xiao He replied, "The decoration of the shop is almost done, and the things drawn on the master's drawings are almost ready, but...the subordinates are incompetent and failed to find a master who can cook for the master. Please punish the master." After finishing, He knelt down on one knee.

Bai Ziwan shook his head and raised his hand, "Get up." If you can't find a cook, do you want to go to the battle yourself?

"Master asks what the cooking chef is doing?" Aunt Liu came in with a cup of food, "Could it be that master wants to ask the master to come to the shop to help?"

Aunt Liu is her manager in the shop in the capital city. Ten days ago, she suddenly came to Linjiang Chenggu, saying that the nanny was afraid that Yunxiang would be too busy alone, so she asked her to come over and follow Yunxiang to take care of Ziwan's daily life, and take care of things for her by the way. side shop.

Bai Ziwan nodded, "It's almost time for our shop to open after New Year's Eve. We need to find a chef as soon as possible."

Aunt Liu thought for a while, and said, "I have two candidates, but...it's okay, I will definitely take care of this matter for the master."

Bai Ziwan's eyes lit up suddenly, "If that's the case, Aunt Liu will have to worry about it." Saying this, he got up and bowed respectfully to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu didn't dodge either, she accepted Bai Ziwan's gift, and continued, "The two of them are in the south of the Yangtze River now, and I'll go to the south of the Yangtze River to find them tomorrow morning."

Bai Ziwan nodded, then turned to tell Yunxiang, "Yuxiang, get ready and follow me to Zuixianglou after dinner."

Hearing the words "Zuixianglou", Xiao He's eyes flashed, and Aunt Liu wondered, "What is Master going to Yuxianglou for?"

Bai Ziwan smiled, but did not answer.
