Chapter 147: Heroine Luo, Can’t You Sleep? (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sun sank into the horizon.

The lights in the small courtyard of Double Osmanthus Alley lit up.

The wooden bed in the main room had been removed and replaced with a mahogany canopy bed. It was in the inner corner with a light blue mosquito net hanging around it. There was also a dressing table with a vertical bronze mirror by the window.

The west wing had also changed. The old furniture had been thrown away and replaced with a brand new desk, big bed, and chairs.

After Ye Jingtang tidied up the room, he sat down at the desk by the window and looked at the moon outside. He still hadn’t recovered from the ‘Rogue Exciting Fist’ in the afternoon.

After learning the fist technique, he had basically figured out Third Lady’s measurements. He didn’t know if he was learning a fist technique or ‘learning a foreign language’.

But fist and leg martial arts were like this. Physical contact was inevitable. It wasn’t appropriate to say that Third Lady had done it on purpose. After thinking about it, he could only say that Third Lady didn’t treat him as an outsider.

The courtyard was very quiet. The bird was very interested in the new bed and was rolling back and forth on it. It even grabbed the soft blanket and made a small nest beside the pillow to lie inside with its claws facing the sky to try it out.

After Ye Jingtang sat alone for a long time, a voice finally came from the alley.

“Martial Mistress, why are you walking so slowly?”

“Oh, I’m just thinking about something. Your Brother Jingtang is back…”

Ye Jingtang retracted his thoughts and looked up.

Little Yunli, who was wearing a bamboo hat, ran in first. After taking a quick look at the main room, she hurriedly ran in, her eyes filled with surprise. “Brother Jingtang, why did you buy us such a big bed? And the dressing table…”

Luo Ning stepped in after her. When she saw him at the window, her expression turned cold, and she turned around to walk into the kitchen.

Ye Jingtang walked to the courtyard and looked at Yunli, who was curiously sizing up the canopy bed. “Like it?”

“Not bad, not bad. 1 feel like three people can sleep on it.”

After Zhe Yunli checked out the canopy bed in satisfaction, she looked at the painting hanging in front of the bed. “Was this painting included as a gift for buying the bed? How insincere…”

“Don’t take it down! This is a treasured painting bestowed by the Imperial Court.”

“What?!” Zhe Yunli looked at it carefully again and nodded thoughtfully. “I was mistaken just now. This fine brushwork is indeed extraordinary…”

?

Ye Jingtang felt that Little Yunli was also a flatterer. He went to the kitchen and looked at the unhappy Heroine Luo. “What’s the matter?”

Something must have happened to Luo Ning, and it was something big!

She had secretly gone to Literary Virtue Bridge today, found Madam Wang, and asked how often she needed to help him recuperate his body.

Madam Wang’s answer was quite direct. If she had time, she should treat him. If she couldn’t take it, she should let him hold it in.

What did this mean?

She had been paralyzed twice yesterday. Did that mean that she would be paralyzed once a day?

Was she supposed to live like this from now on?

Luo Ning bit her lower lip lightly. She didn’t dare to tell the ‘bad news’ to the little thief. She just looked at the pile of black ashes behind the stove.

Ye Jingtang also looked at the black ashes. At first, he didn’t pay much attention, but after taking a closer look, he felt that something was wrong. Why do the black ashes look like burned paper…

Burned paper…

?!

Boom!

A bolt of lightning flashed across Ye Jingtang’s mind, and he instantly broke down. He slowly walked to the stove and squatted down. He raised his hand and looked at Heroine Luo in shock. “You didn’t burn the book, did you?”

Luo Ning wasn’t that ruthless. After Ye Jingtang left at midnight, she had read it alone in her room.

In the end, the little thief in the book took liberties with the heroine, but after the heroine woke up, she didn’t even teach the little thief a lesson!

What was written was completely unreasonable.

Luo Ning felt that something was wrong and used the quantum speed reading method to scan to the back of the book. In the end, she found that it was all unsightly erotic pictures! She didn’t even dare to take a closer look and immediately wanted to throw the book away.

But the little thief had said very seriously that it wasn’t good to destroy the book. She could only find a random book, burn it, and hide Tears of a Heroine.

Seeing the heartache in Ye Jingtang’s eyes, Luo Ning harrumphed softly. “So what if 1 burned it? You shouldn’t read those unpresentable books.”

Ye Jingtang used a wooden stick to rummage through the ashes, but he couldn’t even find a small piece of paper. He opened his mouth helplessly.

n?n

Luo Ning was stunned when she saw this scene. Even if 1 really burned it, it’s just an erotic book. Do you have to be more devastated than if the Roaring Dragon Chart was burned?

“Ye Jingtang?”

“Sigh… I’m fine. A book can’t be revived. Since it’s already been burned, so be it.

1 don’t blame you, Heroine Luo.”

H ii

Luo Ning didn’t know what to say. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around, opened the cupboard, took out the book wrapped in black cloth, and threw it to Ye Jingtang. Her eyes were slightly cold. “Since this book is so important to you, hug it when you sleep.”

With that, she walked out of the room without looking back.

?!

Ye Jingtang realized that something was wrong and advised, “That’s not what I meant. This book is the only one from the previous dynasty…”

“What book?!”

Hearing the commotion, Zhe Yunli walked out of the main room. But Luo Ning was afraid that her daughter would learn bad things, so she dragged her by the arm into the room and closed the door with a bang.

Ye Jingtang’s words abruptly stopped. He looked at the silhouette on the window paper, spread his hands slightly, and returned to his room…

In the Imperial City…

The moon had risen above the branches, and the palace gates had long been closed. The Peaceful Hall was quiet.

From the window, the peerless empress dowager could be seen standing in front of a painting table with a brush, seriously sketching a painting.

Hongyu was wearing a man’s black robe with a saber hanging from her waist. On her shoulder stood a little parrot raised in the palace. She was standing in front of the painting table as a model, her eyes looking very innocent.

Although the parrot and the snow eagle looked worlds apart, to the empress dowager of the freehand style school, there was not much difference.

Dongfang Liren was like a respected teacher. After observing the empress dowager from behind for a moment, she felt that the painting had nothing worth seeing, but she didn’t dare to say anything. She walked to the window and stood with her hands behind his back, looking at the waterside pavilion in the distance..
