Chapter 208 Testing
Jiang Qingyan leaned closer and whispered, "Disguise me as Lin Zhijie."
Although Yi Luo was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions. He nodded and said, "Alright, but you can only leave after you have dried off your sweat."
Jiang Qingyan smiled slightly, kissed Yi Luo on the lips, and then lay back down on the couch.
A moment later, the sweat on Jiang Qingyan's body had completely disappeared. She lifted the quilt, put on the clothes that Yi Luo had just stolen from Lin Zhijie, and then sat down in front of the bronze mirror.
At this moment, Yi Luo also prepared the tools for disguise. After carefully putting on the human skin mask carved in the shape of Lin Zhijie for Jiang Qingyan, he also styled her hair into the same bun as Lin Zhijie.
Jiang Qingyan carefully checked herself in the mirror, and after confirming that there were no flaws, she patted Yi Luo on the shoulder and said gratefully, "Thank you, darling. I'll reward you after I finish this."
Upon hearing this, Yi Luo gently raised the corners of her lips, "Alright, I'll wait for my husband's reward."
Meanwhile, inside the Zhenxiang Palace, sweet incense was burning on the table. Mo Yan, dressed only in a light green gauze, leaned against the small couch with her cheeks slightly flushed, fantasizing about the wonderful time she would spend sleeping in the same bed with Mo Ting.
With the rhythmic rise and fall of her hands, the spring scenery under her thin veil was revealed intermittently, appearing exceptionally alluring.
Jiang Qingyan took a deep breath outside the hall, straightened her clothes, and after making sure that her disguise would not be noticed, she raised her arm and knocked on the door.
Mo Yan, who was almost in the middle of getting into the swing of things, was startled by the sudden knock on the door. She hurriedly took her hands out from under the thin veil and quickly wiped them with a handkerchief.
After wrapping the cloak around herself, she suppressed the heat in her heart and tiptoed toward the door with a puzzled look on her face.
Who would knock on my door at this hour?
Seeing no response from inside, Jiang Qingyan knocked on the door even louder.
Mo Yan swallowed hard, moistening her incredibly dry throat, and whispered towards the door, "Who is it?"
Jiang Qingyan lowered her voice and quickly replied, "It's me, Lin Zhijie."
Upon seeing that it was Lin Zhijie, Mo Yan's eyes immediately lit up. She quickly opened the door and grabbed Jiang Qingyan's arm.
Jiang Qingyan was startled by her smooth movements, but quickly calmed herself down.
She had come to test the relationship between Mo Yan and Lin Zhijie, but seeing their natural physical contact, she couldn't help but feel a strange pain in her heart.
Mo Yan, blushing shyly, leaned her head on Jiang Qingyan's shoulder and said coquettishly, "Brother Zhijie, why did you suddenly come to find me?"
Jiang Qingyan tried hard to control her inner turmoil and forced a smile, saying, "I... I just suddenly wanted to come see you..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan slightly raised the corners of her lips, deliberately shrugged her shoulders, and let her cloak slip to the ground unintentionally, leaving her only in a semi-transparent veil.
Jiang Qingyan's eyes widened upon seeing this. Damn it! Who is Mo Yan trying to seduce by wearing a see-through outfit in broad daylight?
Seeing Jiang Qingyan's wide eyes, Mo Yan exclaimed dramatically, "Oh my god! My cloak fell off! How embarrassing!"
As she spoke, she quickly bent down to pick up the cloak, but coincidentally, the ribbon on her thin gauze suddenly came undone, revealing a spring-like scene to Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang Qingyan stood there awkwardly, wondering if she would give herself away if she turned around and left now. She also wondered what Lin Zhijie would do if he were the one standing in the room right now.
Should we simply pick Mo Yan up horizontally, or "execute her on the spot"?
Seeing that Jiang Qingyan did not turn around and leave, Mo Yan's lips curled into a barely perceptible wicked smile.
Since Lin Zhijie didn't leave, he must have feelings for me!
Mo Yan withdrew her hand from picking up the cloak, and simply took off the thin veil on her body. She stood up and stared at Jiang Qingyan's lips with affection in her eyes.
Jiang Qingyan swallowed hard, then said awkwardly, "Mo...Mo Yan...what are you doing?"
Mo Yan chuckled as she approached Jiang Qingyan, naturally raising her arms to hook around her neck, and said ambiguously, "Of course, it's about doing what you want to do..."
Jiang Qingyan's heart was pounding in her throat. She stammered, "I...I...I don't...I don't have anything...that I want to do..."
Mo Yan raised her right index finger and gently pressed it against Jiang Qingyan's lips. "Shh... stop pretending... I know you have feelings for me... and I have feelings for you too..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's tense emotions immediately calmed down. In her heart? Were they truly in love?
Jiang Qingyan grabbed Mo Yan's index finger, pulled it away from her lips, and said seriously, "Oh? How did you figure out that I have feelings for you? Is it because of my behavior here last time?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan immediately withdrew her arm, feigning anger, and pouted, saying, "Brother Zhijie, how dare you bring up last time? I was feeling so unwell that day, and you didn't even help me..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "How could I not help you?"
Mo Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Qingyan, crossed her arms, and continued, "Hmph! Brother Zhijie, you're asking a question you already know the answer to! That day I was poisoned by love, and you happened to come here to see the Emperor. I grabbed you and begged you to help me get rid of the poison, but you actually pushed me away and ran away! You made me suffer so much that day! I don't care! You have to make it up to me double today!"
Hearing Mo Yan say this, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but smile. So nothing happened between Lin Zhijie and Mo Yan that day! She had misunderstood Lin Zhijie!
Seeing that Jiang Qingyan did not speak, Mo Yan assumed that she had agreed, so she took Jiang Qingyan's hand and placed it on her waist.
Feeling the smooth, tender touch in her palm, Jiang Qingyan quickly snapped out of her daze, immediately withdrew her hands, and asked seriously, "Since I didn't give you the antidote that day, how did you get rid of it?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan blushed slightly, raised her right index finger, pursed her lips, and said shyly, "It... helped me..."
Jiang Qingyan looked incredulous upon hearing this. The love poison she had suffered that day was incredibly difficult to cure; even Mo Ting alone wasn't enough to cure her, yet Mo Yan had managed to do it with just one finger…
Suddenly remembering that she had just pressed her right index finger against her lips, Jiang Qingyan felt a churning in her stomach and gagged.
Seeing this, Mo Yan frowned and said, "Could it be that Brother Zhijie dislikes me because of this?"
Jiang Qingyan quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no... I just suddenly remembered... I have some urgent business to attend to... I'll be going now..."
Having said that, he moved as if the wind were blowing through his feet, pushed open the door, turned around, and ran away...
Mo Yan was left standing at the door, completely bewildered and unsure of what to do…
Just then, a young eunuch passed by outside the palace and saw Mo Yan standing naked at the door. He screamed in fright and quickly covered his eyes and ran away...
Mo Yan shouted loudly, "You dog servant! Why are you running? Get over here right now!"
