Chapter 305: The Clouds Clear and the Mist Dissipates

The morning light was dim and the breeze was cool.

In the cabin, Zhou Peiling was awakened by the sound of waves hitting the hull and opened her hazy eyes.

Soon she realized that something was wrong. She was startled and immediately sat up straight. After a quick check of her body, she relaxed a little.

Fortunately, there was no sign that her clothes had been taken off, and there was no discomfort in her body. It seemed that she had not lost her virginity to that devil...

She shook her head vigorously, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After the devil put forward the plan to steal the treasure from the palace last night, he quickly asked her and Lou Qianqian to discuss the specific process of transferring the stolen goods. At first, she was very reluctant, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that this matter had great potential. The more she thought about it, the more interesting it became. In the end, it was out of control.

Lou Qianqian also behaved in a similar way. It seemed that both of them were used to following the rules on weekdays. Occasionally, they did something unconventional under the temptation of the devil, and they felt it was novel.

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked. Later, under the instigation of the demon, they began to talk and clink glasses. In the end, they both drank too much and passed out...

Fortunately, she didn't make a big mistake because of this, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life...

Zhou Peiling looked around the cabin and found that Lou Qianqian had not woken up yet. Perhaps because of her shallow cultivation, her face still had a drunken blush, and she looked lazy like a begonia sleeping in spring.

She is worthy of being the number one courtesan in the capital!

Zhou Peiling secretly sighed in her heart. Even as a woman, she felt that the scene in front of her was full of tempting flavor.

However, the demon was not in the cabin, and there was no sign that Lou Qianqian's clothes had been undressed...

Zhou Peiling couldn't help but be surprised. The demon spent so much effort and finally occupied the number one courtesan in the capital, but in the end he was willing to let go of this delicious food that was right in front of him?

Or was he also drunk?

Zhou Peiling lifted the door curtain of the cabin and walked onto the deck, and found that the devil was lying comfortably on the bamboo chair he had last night, looking like he was enjoying the quiet time in the early morning.

"Are you awake?" Lu Yu greeted lazily.

Zhou Peiling ignored him and asked, "You slept outside all night?"

"What a joke! It's cold outside, would I sleep outside all night?" Lu Yu said dissatisfiedly, "I was originally sleeping with you in the cabin, but you two slept so badly, especially you, you snored when you slept, so I had to run out..."

"Nonsense!"

Zhou Peiling's pretty face flushed, feeling embarrassed and angry.

"I didn't snore when I slept!"

In a hurry, she even forgot to investigate whether Lu Yu's words about sleeping in the same quilt were true or false.

"Isn't it you who's snoring? If it's not you, then it must be Lou Qianqian!"

Lu Yu spread his hands indifferently, and then immediately laughed evilly.

"Haha, if others knew that Lou Qianqian, the most beautiful courtesan in Beijing, would snore when she slept, I'm afraid her title of the most beautiful courtesan would soon change hands! Ling'er, how much hush money should we ask her for?"

Zhou Peiling glared at Lu Yu in dissatisfaction, thinking that this devil was really unruly, and she didn't know which of his words were true and which were false.

"What hush money?"

At this time, a lazy voice suddenly interrupted, but it was Lou Qianqian who opened the curtain with a sleepy face, and it was obvious that she had been awakened by the sound of the two people talking.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Just now Miss Ling'er told me that Miss Qianqian drooled when she was asleep, and she came to ask me how much hush money she should ask you for!"

Zhou Peiling widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. She really couldn't believe that this devil would actually talk nonsense in front of her, and even put all the offending things on herself.

Fortunately, Lou Qianqian was very thoughtful and didn't really think Zhou Peiling would say such a thing. She smiled and said, "As long as the prince consort opens his mouth, what's the harm in giving myself to him? Why should we care about a little hush money?"

"However, judging from the situation during the night, although the prince consort was on the same boat with us, he didn't cause any chaos. It can be seen that many of the prince consort's bad reputations are probably untrue!"

After Lou Qianqian's reminder, Zhou Peiling immediately came to her senses. Regardless of whether the devil's words about sleeping together, snoring, and drooling were true or false, it was an absolute fact that he didn't touch her and Lou Qianqian's bodies. She absolutely didn't believe that the devil in front of her would suddenly find his conscience or turn over a new leaf. There must be other special reasons for him to do this.

After a little thought, she quickly figured out the reason and couldn't help but sneer: "I thought you were really fearless, but I didn't expect you also knew that you had a marriage contract granted by the emperor and didn't dare to play with fire easily!"

Lu Yu said with a playful smile: "Miss Ling'er, are you jealous because I didn't really play with fire with you?"

"Eat your head! I didn't!"

"Don't worry, I've done so many things that angered the heavens and the people these two days, I'm afraid that I won't be the consort soon, and then you can play with fire with me!"

"Who wants to play with fire with you! Besides, what does it have to do with me whether you become the consort or not!"

"Why not? Have you forgotten our original agreement?"

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense..."

...

Lou Qianqian, who was standing aside, quietly watched Lu Yu bickering with Zhou Peiling like teasing a cat, and couldn't help thinking.

The deeper the contact, the more she felt that this man with countless bad reputations in front of her was hard to see through, as if he was like the surface of the Yulei River in front of her, shrouded in a mist, making it hard to see clearly.

At this time, the sun was gradually rising, the effect of the talisman was approaching its end, the thick fog began to slowly dissipate, and the noisy voices around finally passed through the mist and reached the ears of the three people.

Lou Qianqian seemed to have an illusion that they had returned from a completely sealed paradise to the prosperous and extravagant world of Beijing.

She had already had a deep experience of the prosperity and extravagance of Beijing, and knew that under this bright and beautiful appearance, there were many ugly and rotten things, which made her feel tired.

On the contrary, this short night of life in the paradise made her feel unsatisfied.

"The fog has dissipated." Lou Qianqian said faintly.

"Yes, the fog has dissipated!"

Lu Yu stood at the bow, looking at the direction of the rising sun, and also sighed: "It's time to go out!"

After saying that, he waved his palm behind him, and suddenly a breeze blew on his face. The boat began to ride the wind and waves, passing through the heavy fog, and approached a shallow pier on the shore.

Zhou Peiling stared at Lu Yu with a glare, and her eyes clearly said-since you have such means, why did you let me row the boat last night?

But Lu Yu only said one sentence, and immediately her resentment disappeared without a trace.

"Ling'er, from this moment on, you don't have to follow me anymore! But forget what I told you and Miss Qianqian last night!"

After saying that, he suddenly jumped up, and in the astonished expressions of Zhou and Lou, he floated down to a row of soldiers in bright armor on the shore.

Among the soldiers in bright armor, there was a vigorous old man, who was none other than the Grand Tutor Zhou Zunian.

"Mr. Nian, why do you look so bad? Didn't you sleep well last night? I have a mental formula that is specifically for insomnia and dreaminess. If you need it, I can teach it for free..."

Zhou Zunian was so angry that his teeth itched, and the veins on his forehead twitched faintly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't tell you anything else. I just received news that Princess Gaoyang has entered the city and will meet His Majesty at the grand court meeting... At the same time, His Majesty has also issued an order to summon you to the palace and let you also participate in this grand court meeting!"

"The success or failure of this matter depends entirely on this one move. I hope you can take care of yourself! If this matter fails, I am afraid that this day next year will be your death anniversary!"
