Chapter 148.1: Jun Xin has Returned (1/2)

Bai Feiyun seemed to have noticed that Tang Doudou was blaming herself as he said with a smile, “Even if you hadn’t been there to stir up trouble, she still wouldn’t have gotten away with it. No matter how useless Xi Qiulin is, he’s still the emperor. How could he possibly get poisoned that easily?”

Tang Doudou thought about it and found that it made sense. “Then where is San Yu right now?”

Earlier, when Yuner had begged her to save San Yu, she knew that San Yu was in trouble, but she hadn’t expected for the trouble to be this big. If she went to save a girl from the previous dynasty, no matter what, she would be suspected of being a conspirator. At that time, if Xi Qiulin raised difficult questions, without Baili Yu to serve as a protective umbrella, not only would she not be able to save herself, but the entire Alliance Head Residence would be implicated as well.

She wasn’t an impetuous person. San Yu would only be beheaded after autumn so there was still time for her to slowly inquire about the matter. This matter wasn’t very urgent. In any case, if she could save her, she’ll do so. If she couldn’t, then all she could do was apologize.

“Death row criminals are naturally imprisoned in the Imperial Prison*. I advise you to give up on the idea of going to save her. After being beaten by you last time, Xi Qiulin is currently itching for an opportunity to grasp your pigtail (evidence of wrongdoing). He fears Baili Yu, but he doesn’t fear you.”

The Imperial Prison is the prison instituted in the capital and under the direct management of the Imperial Court

Bai Feiyun knew what Tang Doudou was thinking the moment he saw her eyes whirl. He rapped her head, then headed off to lead Wu Li and the others to a place where Yuner could rest.

Tang Doudou returned to her room in the Alliance Head Residence and plopped down on the bed as she massaged her head that felt like it was swelling from the information. She had been mentally prepared to have a lot of matters to deal with, but she had expected them to be mostly in regard to the Demonic Sect. Yuner’s matter was something completely outside of her expectations.

“The first thing I see coming back is your ugly expression, what bad luck!”

Suddenly, a familiar, disdain-filled voice came from above Tang Doudou’s head, startling her so much that she almost fell from the bed. Flipping over, Tang Doudou got up and looked. Jun Xin, who had disappeared for nearly two months, was currently hanging upside down from a roof beam, his large eyes filled with disdain.

“Jun Xin! How the hell are you here?” shouted Tang Doudou in pleasant surprise. To tell the truth, she really did miss this guy a little. It seemed like she hadn’t seen him since the day he had been angered off by Baili Yu. When she asked Qing Yin, Qing Yin said she didn’t know where he had gone either.

Jun Xin jumped down and landed softy. Casually sitting down on a stool, he poured himself a cup of tea and took several gulps. “What, I’m not welcome?”

“Welcome, welcome, of course you’re welcome! But speaking of which, where have you been? I haven’t seen a shadow of you for so long.” After seeing Jun Xin, all of Tang Doudou’s worries had been swept away. She stared at Jun Xin with interest, wanted to know what exactly he had been up to all this time.

Veiled emotions flashed through Jun Xin’s eyes as he looked at her sparkling eyes. If he said that he had been by her side this entire time, would that scare her off?

“Went to play of course, what else?” Jun Xin lifted his brows impatiently and stood up. “I’m going to live in the Alliance Head Residence, help arrange it for me!”

Da fudge, after such a long time this guy’s tone was still as infuriating as before. Her Alliance Head Residence wasn’t an inn that you could walk in and out of as you pleased.

However, she didn’t reject his demand. She simply glared at Jun Xin, then said, “It’s alright if you want to stay here, but it’s not free!”

“You want to charge me for staying in a crappy place like this?”

“You can choose not to stay here ah!”

Jun Xin burst out laughing. “Isn’t it just money? Ben shaoye has plenty of money! However, I have a condition…”

“If there are conditions the cost is doubled.”
