Ke Yuehua felt that the person who was embracing him was extremely gentle towards him, and didn't even say that he had that kind of resistance, or that he was dragging it on.
"Speak, why do you want to make the guests of the Confused Inn dizzy?" A familiar voice came from above the Ke Yuehua.
Was it Shi Jinchen? This voice belonged to Shi Jinchen. So it turned out that Shi Jinchen was hugging him, causing his Ke Yuehua to unconsciously calm down.
But why was the Shi Jinchen fine?
Ke Yuehua thought with doubt, "Logically speaking, if this shop was just running towards me, then it would have to knock me out first, otherwise, if I were to wake up, I would definitely be able to detect that something was amiss in the room next door, and would definitely rush over here at the first possible moment.
Logically speaking, someone who has lost themselves would not be stupid to this extent. "
When Ke Yuehua was still confused, she heard someone speaking. Hearing that voice, she thought it was a big, robust man's voice, "If you want to kill her, kill her quickly. Since we did not kill her, there will naturally be people who killed her to avenge us."
This robust youth, in front of Shi Jinchen whose complexion had long been gloomy, had been neither humble nor arrogant.
"She? "Are you referring to the person in my arms?" Shi Jinchen narrowed his eyes, looking dangerously at the three people who were tied up by the secret guards and kneeling in front of him. He was very sure that as long as they said that it was so, he would immediately kill them.
Instead, his first thought was that he did not want the person in his embrace who had been knocked out, to be in no danger at all.
"Humph!" The muscular man snorted coldly, showing his tacit approval of Shi Jinchen's words.
"Good!" "Then I'll grant you your wish." Shi Jinchen hugged a few of the people in his embrace tightly, and glanced at the three people in front of him indifferently. In his eyes, these three people were like dead people, and as long as he was there, no one would be able to harm the person in his embrace.
Shi Jinchen carried the unconscious Ke Yuehua into the room next door to him, and just as he placed Ke Yuehua on the bed for a short while, the inn owner, waiters, and chefs already in the kitchen came from the room next door. A short moment later, a miserable scream came out from Ke Yuehua's previous room, and it was completely silent.
Everyone in the inn had long since fainted, and it was impossible for them to wake up while sleeping soundly.
As for why the Shi Jinchen hadn't fainted yet, it was all thanks to that waiter. When Shi Jinchen went to the back courtyard of the inn to ask the waiter where there were petals, and was waiting for the waiter to pick them, he started to look around the rear courtyard of the inn in boredom. Unexpectedly, he saw a piece of parchment that the waiter had carelessly tossed in the backyard to wrap the medicinal herbs in.
Shi Jinchen was clearly on guard, he did not directly ask the waiter what was wrapped in the parchment, but pretended that nothing had happened and took the baskets of flower petals from him, walking towards the guest room on the second floor.
When he reached the second floor, Shi Jinchen was the first to return to his own room. He immediately summoned the hidden guards to keep an eye on the boss and waiter of this inn.
He then pretended that nothing had happened and entered the Ke Yuehua's room twice. On the surface, he pretended that he wanted to bathe together with the Ke Yuehua the same way as before, but he was still confirming that the Ke Yuehua was safe.
When he was certain that the Ke Yuehua was safe, the Shi Jinchen returned to his room.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that the dark guard came to report that the waiter had lit a incense in the corridor of the customer service area.
Since he knew that this inn was not simple, he would naturally not let his guard down.
Light up some incense? Perhaps the medicinal powder was placed in the incense, or perhaps this incense didn't attract too much attention. Anyone who had stayed in an inn would know that it was very common to see incense in the corridors of inns.
The reason why every inn would have a fragrant smell was so that the guests in the bedroom could sleep soundly. Why not order one in each room?
This Shi Jinchen was also unknown, but he knew that every inn he resided in was like this.
"Hey, where's the innkeeper and waiter?" "Why is it gone? I haven't even eaten breakfast yet." He had just recovered his strength in the morning, so he could stand up. When he pushed open the door, he saw Jing Yi muttering and lowering his head, as he walked towards the room he had stayed in the night before.
Ke Yuehua immediately said: "I'm here." He promptly stopped the Jing Yi who was just about to knock on his door.
"Miss, why are you here …" Originally, he was curious to ask something, but he immediately noticed the master of the house when he was about to say something. Since it wasn't good for servants to do too much, he immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head and pretended that he didn't see anything. Then, he quickly walked toward the floor in front of Ke Yuehua.
Jing Yi thought in his heart, last night, it was obvious that the young miss was unwilling to refuse sharing the same room with the Young Master, but she didn't expect that she would actually come out of the Young Master's room so early in the morning.
In Jing Yi's brain, he immediately thought that it was only because there were some outsiders who were shy last night, and still went to Young Master's room at night.
Ke Yuehua "…" What can I do, she thought.
Ke Yuehua watched as she hurried downstairs. She knew that Jing Yi must have misunderstood something, but it was hard for her to explain herself, so she misunderstood. It wasn't anything urgent anyway.
"What's wrong?" Last night, the Shi Jinchen guarded him very late. In the end, when he could no longer hold on, he sat on a stool with his arms crossed and narrowed his eyes.
"It's fine. You can continue sleeping. I'll go down and have some morning porridge first. We'll head back to the capital when you wake up." With his back facing the Shi Jinchen, did not know how to face it. After he finished speaking with the most ordinary tone he could muster, he closed the door without waiting for the Shi Jinchen to say anything further.
Because Shi Jinchen already knew that the three people who came for him last night, although Shi Jinchen did not interrogate the three people, they were definitely suspicious.
But now, Ke Yuehua simply did not know how to reply when Shi Jinchen asked him about these three people.
Shi Jinchen looked at his usual cold tone and knitted his brows. Even if he had been stunned, and didn't know what had happened afterwards, since he had found out that he was waking up in his own room, why didn't Xiao Sui question him where he was?
Shi Jinchen was merely a little perplexed, but they did not ponder deeply about this matter.
The first gust of wind in the morning blew through the open window, clearing Shi Jinchen's mind. There was no sun rising outside today, so it should be a cloudy day.
The overcast days of the summer and autumn exchange were the most comfortable. It was unavoidable that it would be the hottest day for them to travel. Perhaps, due to the weather, they would be able to return to the capital one day earlier than expected.
With this thought in mind, Shi Jinchen did not intend to continue sleeping. Instead, he stood up, washed his face and rinsed his mouth before going downstairs.
