Chapter 693: Chapter 703: Dozing Off Chapter 693: Chapter 703: Dozing Off Bai Junjun carefully identified the handwriting, which looked very familiar. Indeed, it was from the Ninth Prince, Yuwen Jun.
The reason Bai Junjun recognized it was thanks to the nurous love poems Yuwen Jun had written for her forr self.
Before, they had only speculated that Thousand Miles was related to Yuwen Jun. Now with these manuscripts as evidence, the speculation was surely confird.
It turned out that Fox was right. Her forr self had truly underestimated Yuwen Jun. This fellow really was cunning and far-sighted, making it terrifying how he never let his sches show.
Bai Junjun tossed all of Yuwen Jun’s manuscripts into the Space without a second thought.
As she continued rummaging through the items, she suddenly found more beneath the letters.
Moving aside so wood, a cellar was revealed beneath.
Bai Junjun, out of curiosity, opened it and found that it was full of various types of gold and jewels.
After all, Eunuch Zou was a veteran of the palace; he had been favored for half his life, and his collection of treasures was naturally too nurous to count.
Bai Junjun grinned with delight, throwing all these treasures into the Space—this ssy Underground Palace beca a bit more splendid with the addition of half a room’s worth of jewels.
Only after she had completely emptied the place and thoroughly checked multiple tis to ensure that everything related to the Affairs of His Majesty was secured did Bai Junjun leave.
By the ti Bai Junjun erged from the secret chamber, it was already past four o’clock, and faint sounds of roosters crowing could be heard in the distance.
For the ancients, it was ti to rise around four or five in the morning, so Bai Junjun also decided it was ti to retreat back ho.
She returned to Bai Residence under the cover of the last lingering darkness.
At this mont, the house was silent; everyone was asleep except for Li Wenli, who sat by the window, reading by lamp light deep into the night.
Li Wenli waved his hand in greeting when he saw the young mistress return.
Bai Junjun leisurely proceeded to Li Wenli’s room.
There, Li Wenli was sitting on a low couch, earnestly examining so manuscripts—not those she had tossed into the Space.
Bai Junjun, making herself at ho, took a seat on the other side of the low couch and began pouring tea and eating dim sum for herself.
The snacks must have been bought by Sasa during the day—osmanthus cakes.
Li Wenli served the osmanthus cakes with a bit of honey as an accompanint; lightly dipped in honey, the cakes were soft, chewy, and sweetly fragrant.
Enjoying a book while eating was certainly a pleasure.
Bai Junjun hadn’t eaten since dinner and worked through the night, so feeling hungry, she sat down and began to eat seriously.
Li Wenli didn’t bother her and, only after examining all the manuscripts, shook his head, “It seems that the affairs of His Majesty had already fallen into the hands of Eunuch Zou’s master.
We thought Prince Xuanhe had set a grand plan, but it turns out Yuwen Jun is no less formidable.”
Li Wenli said this with a aningful look toward Bai Junjun, intending to subtly tease soone.
However, only then did he notice the young mistress, holding a pillow and fast asleep.
Thinking about how hard she had toiled for two days, Li Wenli silently put down his manuscripts and lay on the low couch, quietly watching Bai Junjun’s sleeping face.
Unknowingly, day broke, and soft sunlight stread across the corridor and into the room.
Bai Sasa stretched and yawned as she got up, her eyes falling on the empty bed with a trace of sadness. Her elder sister hadn’t returned to sleep for two nights now, and she had no idea where she was.
But Bai Sasa understood that her elder sister must be tirelessly laboring through the night to protect their family.
With this thought, Bai Sasa sighed, knowing she couldn’t help her sister much, so she decided to do her best to support her sister from behind the scenes and not hold her back.
However, as she stepped out of her room, she saw Ah Dao and the others standing opposite in the corridor with blank expressions, all staring in her direction.
“?”
Bai Sasa followed everyone’s gaze and saw that the lattice windows of the next room were open. Brother Wenli, who was supposed to be in bed, had sohow moved next to the window and was sleeping soundly on a small couch.
