Chapter 245 Last time was perfunctory, this time it’s real (second update)
After Li Xianyun had taken care of the matters, it was already late into the night. The heavens were devoid of light, and the usually clamorous autumn insects couldn’t even be bothered to chirp, making the entire night oppressively silent and stifling, leaving one gasping for air.
Yelu Yan still hadn’t returned.
Upon returning to the main building, Li Xianyun had the maid prepare hot water, and then she went to wash up.
Once she finished washing up, the bathtub was filled with water, into which a few drops of fragrant oils had been added, the faint scent enveloping her nostrils.
Li Xianyun sat in the bathtub, letting the warm water envelope her.
After a taxing day, soaking in a hot bath should have been a very comfortable experience, but Li Xianyun, worried about Yelu Yan, was in no mood to enjoy it.
After washing, she didn’t linger in the water, but got out of the bathtub, wrapped her hair, dried the droplets off her body, put on a soft sleeping garment, and sat down in front of the copper mirror to dry her hair.
Youlan and Zhuo Ma came in to fold the screen, scooped out the water from the bathtub with a ladle, poured it into buckets, and then carried them out to dispose of it.
Although Li Xianyun was drying her hair with a towel, she kept an eye on the noises outside.
Whenever there were footsteps outside, Li Xianyun couldn’t help but look towards the door.
