Bab 121: Visiting the King's Residence at Night

Xia Muqing leaped off from the roof and entered the room through the window.

She thought no one was there, but as soon as she entered, she heard a splash.

There was a screen separating the two of them, and the sound of water splashing came from behind it.

Was Ye Qingxuan bathing?

Xia Muqing felt a little awkward. She stood rooted to the spot, wondering if she should retreat. Ye Qingxuan heard someone entering and said, "Xiaodezi, bring me a cloth."

Xia Muqing, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped in her tracks. She could only take a cloth that was hanging outside and brought it to him.

Ye Qingxuan didn't find anything amiss and naturally reached out to take the cloth from her.

However, Xia Muqing was startled by him. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she had a feeling that Ye Qingxuan had touched her hand when he took the cloth from her.
