The file also recorded that Niinu's age and appearance at the time, which matched the Niinu at Moon Seizing Lake. It seemed like the night's work had not been in vain!
Ning Shu's gaze quietly shifted and landed on the vast pile of files. The files here were so complete, then wouldn't there be files in the imperial palace as well? Also, would he be hiding his own files?
Ning Shu had just reached out her hand, preparing to flip through the files when he wasn't paying attention. But just as she reached out to touch a scroll, before she could pull it out, she heard the silent person behind her suddenly open his mouth. His voice was slow and low, with hidden killing intent.
"Don't randomly flip through it. Be careful. The more you know, the faster you die. "
Qiao 'er's extended claw immediately retracted. Ning Shu pursed her lips and decided not to provoke him.
"I want to investigate Yun Ruohui again."
Xiahou Qing pointed at another file for her.
Ning Shu moved it over and continued to flip through it. The tiredness from the past few days of rushing about unknowingly caused her to fall asleep while leaning against the pile of files. When she woke up, the sky was already bright. The bird on Xiahou Qing's shoulder had already woken up and lively flew to her elbow, chirping crisply.
Ning Shu woke up and found that her body was not cold. She didn't know when, but someone had covered her with a blanket. She raised her head and saw that Xiahou Qing had not gone to bed yet. One of his hands was propped up on his head as he leaned against the soft couch and slept through the night. His breathing was even and it seemed like he had not woken up yet.
Ning Shu quietly walked over and bent one knee to look at him. She didn't know why, but she didn't dare to make a sound at that moment. Her gaze fell on his other hand. The ivory bone in his palm was faintly discernible between his slender fingers.
Even though he was asleep, he was still holding onto this thing …
Ning Shu's heart was filled with curiosity. She carefully reached out her hand and tried to hook the bone out from between his fingers. But just as she touched the corner of the bone, his palm suddenly tightened and grabbed her fingers. His other hand was like the wind and like a dragon, instantly bringing her slender neck into his palm.
"Oh!"
Ning Shu subconsciously groaned in pain. She wanted to open her mouth, but no sound came out.
Jiu Si heard the commotion and rushed over. He didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he entered the room: His Shizi was holding Lady Ning's hand with one hand and her neck with the other. The distance between them was so close that their breaths were just inches apart. If someone were to walk over and give him a gentle push …
If it was Hui Mo who came in, he would have already made a fuss. However, he was Jiu Si. He lowered his eyes and calmly reported, "Master, it's Lady Ning."
Xiahou Qing was already awake. He frowned and loosened his grip on the neck that was about to be broken. He pushed the person away and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
The air that she had not breathed in for a long time finally entered her lungs again. Ning Shu rubbed her aching neck and used her loud voice to hide her guilty conscience. "I just wanted to thank you for draping the blanket over me last night so that I wouldn't catch a cold."
It was too painful. No wonder people said that a sleeping lion couldn't be touched. Who knows when it would wake up, it would be bitten to death.
Xiahou Qing put the palm bone into his sleeve and said expressionlessly, "Oh, it's Jiu Si who was meddling. What does it have to do with me?"
Jiu Si was stunned for a moment and bowed his head respectfully, "It's me who was meddling. I know I was wrong."
Ning Shu, "…"
Xiahou Qing got up and Jiu Si went forward to tidy his clothes. Noticing that Ning Shu was still standing there, Xiahou Qing's face was expressionless. He said quietly, "You should have found the thing you wanted to find. Why are you still here?"
He had already asked her to leave. If she continued to stay, she would have no face.
Ning Shu angrily walked back to the pile of files. She picked up Yun Ruohui's file and read it quickly. She didn't even say goodbye and left directly.
After she left, Jiu Si asked if he was going to wash up and eat. Xiahou Qing paused and said, "Call Hui Mo here."
"Yes."
