Tuo Ya led Khubilai into the main hall. Out of politeness, he didn't bring his troops in and only brought a few of his subordinates.
"Huh, where's sister-in-law?" Seeing that there was no one around, Khubilai couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Tuo Ya bowed and said, "Fourth Marquis, please wait here. Our Princess will come out soon." She then called for her subordinates to serve tea.
Khubilai was the most Chinese of the Mongolian nobles and he loved to drink tea. After running around in the middle of the night, he was really thirsty. Seeing this, he didn't suspect anything and drank a few cups.
Joy flashed in Tuo Ya's eyes and she said to him, "I'll go invite the Princess." She then slowly left.
Khubilai sat in the main hall and wondered why Ya Lun had invited him over. Thinking about the change in her attitude, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Huh, why does it feel a bit hot? The more I drink, the more thirsty I get.
After a while, Tuo Ya came out and said, "Fourth Marquis, our Princess invites you over."
Khubilai was startled at first, but then he was overjoyed. Ya Lun didn't meet him in the main hall and instead invited him to the inner hall. This meant that she had a good impression of him. Could it be that what happened today affected her too much and she needed someone to comfort her?
"Please lead the way." He was happy and spoke more politely.
Tuo Ya smiled and said, "Fourth Marquis, this way please."
Khubilai hesitated and didn't let his subordinates follow. Instead, he had them guard the perimeter. After all, the Princess' inner hall wasn't suitable for too many men. Plus, he had a feeling that … it wouldn't be good if there were too many people.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Qingshu saw that there were people in the room. He was stunned. What was going on? It looked like Princess Ya Lun was bathing in there?
But why? There weren't any guards on the way. Shouldn't the place where the Princess bathed be heavily guarded? Because Khubilai was bringing people in, he was panicking and didn't want to alert the guards, so he kept walking towards the place with the weakest guards. He didn't expect to end up in the Princess's room. This didn't make sense.
"Tuo Ya, what's wrong? Why aren't you replying?" Seeing no response, Princess Ya Lun was confused.
Song QingShu was startled. If she found out and called out to him, he would be finished, so he answered, "I'm coming." He had disguised himself for so many years without being discovered. Apart from his similar appearance, his voice was also the key.
One branch of disguise was to change one's voice to match the target's. As for Tuo Ya, he did not know who she was, so he could only imitate the voice of the maid who opened the door.
He purposely said it so people wouldn't be able to hear the maid's voice.
The reason why it was so troublesome was because he knew that if he held her hostage, there would be a lot of trouble in the future, especially since Khubilai was about to come and see her.
Therefore, the best situation was to quietly hide in the mansion, so that no one would find out.
Slowly walking behind the screen, he could feel the heat getting stronger. From afar, he could see Princess Yalun lying in the wooden tub. Her hair was tied up high, revealing her slender neck.
"Come over here and give me a massage." Princess Yalun patted her shoulder as if she had heard the footsteps approaching.
Song QingShu had no choice but to walk over. Princess Yalun was completely submerged in the bathtub, with only her shoulders exposed. He reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, gently pinching it.
Her collarbones were delicate, revealing two shallow dimples. Her shoulders were white and smooth, and her skin was as soft as a young girl's. It was impossible to tell that she was married or had children.
"Mmm." Princess Ya Lun hummed comfortably. "Tuo Ya, I feel like you're doing better today."
Song QingShu was startled to see her head leaning back. Just as he was about to seal her mute acupoint to prevent her from shouting, he discovered that she was only lying down more comfortably with her eyes closed. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was worried. It was difficult to stay here without alerting her. How was he going to deal with this?
He could only wait for Tuo Ya to come over and leave quietly, hoping that everything would go well.
"Hey, why do I have a strange feeling? I don't know how to describe it. I just can't help but think of the night I married Brother Meng." Ya Lun frowned. She twisted her body to ease her posture and subconsciously clamped her legs together.
Song QingShu was stunned. Only then did he notice that Princess Yalun's cheeks were unnaturally red, and her skin was burning hot. She looked like she had been drugged.
"Am I injured and unable to control the Genuine Qi of Joy?"
He was shocked. But he immediately denied this possibility. He didn't use his Genuine Qi at all.
"No, I'm not feeling well. I'm going back to my room to rest." Just then, Princess Ya Lun covered her forehead and suddenly stood up from the bathtub. Water droplets slid down her perfect waist, making her body look even more translucent.
She didn't know if it was because she stood up too fast, but she felt dizzy and weak. Then, she lost control of her body and fell to the side.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the floor, Song Qingshu reached out to support her. His hand was full of soft and warm skin. He didn't know what to do.
"Thank you, Tuo Ya." Princess Ya Lun thanked him and opened her eyes. When she saw that it was a man who was supporting her, she was stunned.
Song Qingshu quickly sealed her acupoints to prevent her from shouting. He said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. I came into your room by mistake. I didn't mean to offend you. If you promise not to scream, please blink."
As he spoke, he pulled the clothes off the screen and wrapped them around her body.
Noticing his actions, Princess Ya Lun's face softened a little. But her face was still very red. She blinked her eyes lightly. Only then did Song Qingshu release her acupoints.
"Why are you in my room so coincidentally?" Princess Yalun's tone was full of shame and anger. She had never been approached by a man like this before. However, she was rational enough not to yell and scream. She knew that it would be bad for her reputation if anyone saw what was happening.
Song Qingshu answered, "I don't know why either. I chose the least guarded places along the way and then came to this room."
"Less guarded?" Princess Ya Lun was stunned and said angrily, "How is that possible? My room is the most heavily guarded place in the whole mansion."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "Why would I lie to you? I'm seriously injured now. If it were really heavily guarded, I wouldn't have been able to break in without a sound."
Princess Ya Lun was deep in thought. Suddenly, she twisted her legs unnaturally and stared at him with an unfriendly look. "Did you do something strange to me?"
Song Qingshu spread his hands and said, "How is that possible? I'm being hunted. I don't have time to do that."
Princess Ya Lun bit her lip. She knew that he had a point.
Song Qingshu suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Right, when I entered the mansion just now, Khubilai was visiting. Your personal maid opened the door to let him in. That's why I ran here in a hurry."
"What!" Ya Lun almost stood up in shock. But she immediately realized that her clothes were a bit disheveled. Her expression changed. She had been in the center of power in Mongolia for a long time and had seen all kinds of plots and plots. In that instant, she had already thought of many possibilities.
Just then, Khubilai's voice came from outside the door. "Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother is here to see you."
