Chapter 2, Capturing a Spy

"What is it?" Long Li walked straight to the desk and sat down, without any warm words or actions, but in Long Zeyu's eyes, it seemed as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Until the man's figure had long since disappeared, Ye Xiaonuan could not believe what she had seen and heard

The steward was both puzzled and apprehensive at the sudden anger displayed by his master. "Sir, whom are you referring to? I am unaware."

Wow, has she traveled through time?

After the morning court session, Long Li returned to his residence as usual. Upon pushing open the door to his chamber, his originally cold black eyes became even more frigid, his thick brows furrowing as he turned his frost-covered face towards the steward behind him and asked sharply: "Where are they?!"

Without suitable clothing to cover her body, she could only make do with wearing a robe that did not belong to her, resembling a clown from a theatrical performance, the length dragging on the ground as if to sweep it, and her chest felt empty and cool, devoid of any sense of security

With a deep gaze at the butler, Long Li tightly pressed his thin lips together, his face cold and seemingly impatient as he waved his hand to dismiss the butler

She opened the door and walked out, only to find a guard in ancient attire standing at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a spear in his hand. She did not dare to approach and had to hide in a secluded spot. After watching for a long time without seeing anyone come by, her eyes inadvertently swept to the corner of the wall, where she saw two sturdy trees closely standing against the tall walls on both sides.

Except for this piece of clothing, Ye Xiaonuan looked around but could not find anything suitable at all

Wow, has she encountered a ghost or what? A male version of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?

What did she just see

"Where is this? Who are you?" Coming to her senses, Ye Xiaonuan hurriedly ran back to the bedside as if she had seen a ghost, her wide eyes looking at the man on the bed who was leisurely getting dressed with a hint of disbelief.

The butler trembled all over. Half of it was due to fear, and half was due to being stunned

She paid little attention to the antique decorations and furnishings in the room, merely assuming that the man had arranged them for the sake of aesthetics. In her high heels, she hurriedly circled around the exquisite jade screen and ran towards the door. Upon opening the door, the scene that met her eyes caused her to gasp in shock, momentarily startling her so much that even her urge to urinate was frightened back.

The bed was in disarray, and the lingering scent of intimacy filled the air. Ye Xiaonuan breathed deeply, trying to calm herself as she looked at the torn remnants of her strapless dress scattered on the floor, along with the ripped bra and the panties that had transformed from triangles into polygons. A wave of astonishment surged within her.

"Second Brother, you have returned. I hadn't had the chance to call for you after the morning court, and you left already." Looking at the figure entering the room, Long Zeyu quickly set down the fragrant tea he had just picked up, stood up, and a hint of a pleasing smile appeared on his handsome face

The man had a face as cold as frost, and his piercing gaze swept lightly over the woman before him who had spoken disrespectfully. However, his movements in dressing did not pause. Only after fastening his belt did he raise his hand to grasp Ye Xiaonuan's delicate chin, his half-squinted black eyes sharply observing the astonishment and panic on the woman's face

Ye Xiaonuan absentmindedly retorted while scanning the surroundings of the bed with her eyes. She did not find the sexy dress she had worn last night, only discovering a deep blue robe at the foot of the bed, which seemed to be the 'battle robe' worn by the man last night. As the urge to urinate hit her, she just wanted to quickly resolve her physiological needs. Enduring the soreness throughout her body, she reached for the robe and hastily put it on, covering the unsightly marks on her body, while not forgetting to reproach someone.

Stay here and seriously consider how to confess to me. Do not think that pretending to be foolish will allow you to escape. If you provoke my anger, you should know the consequences!

Outside, there are pavilions and towers, yet even when one looks up, not a single tall building can be seen in the distance

Do not say there is even a mood to urinate; now, even if she ate croton seeds and wanted to defecate, she would not feel anything

The butler cautiously withdrew, and after a moment, hurriedly returned, respectfully and carefully stating: "Sir, the Ninth Prince has arrived and is waiting for you in the study. He said he has important matters to discuss with you"

As her feet successfully landed on the ground, Ye Xiaonuan clapped her hands, feeling proud of her own capabilities. Suddenly, a serious voice questioned her: "Boldly, who are you? Dare to intrude upon this royal residence, what punishment do you deserve?"

"Where has that woman gone?" He scanned the room, his voice becoming a few degrees lower, and the faint aura of hostility emanating from him indicated his current irritation.

When did a woman appear in grandfather's room

What kind of attitude is this? Don't think that just because you have a bit of good looks, you can act cool and give me a cold shoulder. Be careful, or I will file a complaint against you! Considering the effort you put into setting up this scene, I will let it slide for now. Just wait for me; I will talk to you after I use the restroom!

Upon hearing the words "This king," Ye Xiaonuan only wanted to bang her head against the wall

Ignoring the man's suddenly frosty expression, Ye Xiaonuan urgently lifted the luxurious bed curtain and glanced under the bed, quickly grabbing the high heels she had worn the previous night and slipping them onto her feet

Gazing into those deep black eyes that seemed to possess almost no warmth, Ye Xiaonuan felt a chill run down her back, and her finger trembled slightly as she pointed at the man's hand

At his age, although he is rather indifferent in temperament, he rarely gets angry. This sudden outburst of anger is indeed something he finds hard to cope with

The cold gaze swept across the room once more, and Long Li, with a stern expression and an air of natural chill, turned and headed towards the study

Aside from being perplexed, the steward remained confused, yet he had to muster the courage to reply softly: "Sir, I am unaware; may I ask you to clarify which woman you are referring to?"

How did they become like this

Reflecting on what she had seen and heard, those scenes, that voice saying 'This king', Ye Xiaonuan only felt that her nerves were somewhat disordered. It took her quite a while to understand one thing.

Who is it

person

Very well, if you tighten the belt a bit, it can still conceal the flesh

Second Brother, I caught a spy this morning. I originally wanted to tell you early, but the servants in your residence said you had already left. You have no idea, this spy clearly climbed over the wall from your courtyard into mine, and I caught her red-handed, yet she stubbornly refuses to admit her intentions. I was even considering using torture on her, but the moment I touched her, she started screaming and calling me a shameless pervert. It was infuriating!
