Shen Dingzhu was startled, and doubts appeared on his delicate white porcelain face.
"No way..." She hesitated, not sure, and turned to comfort herself and them, "Even if it is true, we can't say anything. That is the prince's freedom. The prince hates others intervening in discipline. Things in his room."
Chunxi was a little anxious: "Then let Qinghe succeed? She usually looks at people with her nose, but if she gets favored, she won't bully us to death!"
Shen Dingzhu covered her lips and laughed, holding her chin in her hands: "I'll protect you, she can't bully you."
Sudden.
A figure stood at the door, it was Qing He.
Her face was filled with pink, and her tone was pretending to be indifferent: "Aunt Shen, the prince has sent you to the main hall."
After speaking, she resigned.
Chunxi and Shen Bi got together and muttered——
"What does her expression mean? She is favored?"
"Oh, I really can't stand this. Master, please go to the prince and have a look."
Shen Dingzhu felt that Qinghe's expression was also strange, so she couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the main hall.
The two rows of guards at the door lowered their heads. The Xu Shou that Xiao Langyan was accustomed to was not outside, but a strange little eunuch.
Shen Dingzhu opened the door and went in, only to find that the curtains in the dormitory were drooped. It was already evening, but it was still dark as if it were dark.
She lit two candles, walked slowly to the bed, and saw the tall figure lying there.
"Prince?" Shen Dingzhu stepped forward and found that Xiao Langyan was naked from the waist up, and his handsome face was red with a suspicious color.
You can still vaguely smell the alcohol coming from him.
Hearing Shen Dingzhu's voice, Xiao Langyan, who was holding the quilt tightly, let go and looked at her coldly and sideways, his eyes still a little blurred: "Where have you been!"
"The boots I made for the prince a few days ago were ready, but there were two problems, so I went to the embroidery department to ask the experienced aunts for advice."
She said, turning around to leave.
Xiao Langyan raised his hand and wanted to tug on her sleeve. Unexpectedly, the first tug was empty. He tugged twice before firmly holding the sleeve in his palm.
"I won't allow you to leave." His voice was cold, and for some reason, he seemed to be suppressing his anger.
Shen Dingzhu explained softly: "I saw that the prince drank too much, so I wanted to tell the palace people to cook some sobering soup."
Xiao Langyan closed his eyes: "I didn't drink too much, I just drank deliberately to save myself from the siege."
After hearing this, Shen Dingzhu didn't understand what happened, but she still sat beside his bed.
Xiao Langyan's whole body was a little red. Although he didn't drink much, he smelled strongly of alcohol.
Shen Dingzhu helped him sit up and drink water. Xiao Langyan's entire body weight almost rested on her delicate body.
Her face turned pale, and she held on to her strength: "Your Majesty, why don't I ask Qinghe and the others to come in and help?"
Xiao Langyan glanced at her, his eyes even more angry than before.
He gritted his teeth and whispered: "You still let her in? She is so unwilling to serve the king and insists on pushing others in."
Shen Dingzhu was puzzled by his words and was about to ask Qinghe what he had done.
Xu Shou's hurried breathing came from the door: "Your Majesty, this servant is late."
Xiao Langyan allowed him to come in, Xu Shou entered with his head lowered, his face seemed to be clouded, and as soon as he reached the bed, he knelt down to Xiao Langyan.
"Xu Shou, you are so brave. In the middle of the banquet, you left by yourself."
Shen Dingzhu was stunned and turned to look at Xu Shou who was kneeling on the ground.
She had never seen Xu Shou look like this, as if someone had hit him with a stick. He couldn't tell whether his face was green or white, and his hands were resting on his knees tremblingly.
Shen Dingzhu was inevitably confused.
Xu Shou was a tactful and considerate person, and he always put Xiao Langyan in front of him in everything, but this time, he actually left Xiao Langyan at the banquet and left first?
It's really unheard of.
Xu Shou said in a sad voice: "I am really confused. I was waiting outside the plum garden just now, but suddenly a round-headed eunuch appeared and said that my son went to the palace to cause trouble."
"The slave was stunned for a moment. Under the urging of the eunuch, he hurried out for fear that the child would embarrass the palace. But halfway through, the slave came to his senses."
"Who is that eunuch? How did he know about the affairs of the slave's family? He was probably a fraud, so he came back in a hurry. Your lord, this slave's miserable life will end on its own in a while. Please give the slave one last chance to serve you before he dies."
When Xu Shou said this, the eight-foot-tall man wiped his tears and cried.
Xiao Langyan's voice was cold: "Thinking of your friendship with me for several years, you will be exempted from death. But in a moment, you will cut off your little finger. Don't forget today's lesson."
Xu Shou kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this miserable life as a slave."
Xiao Langyan ordered him to get up: "Go and prepare water, I want to take a bath."
Xu Shou wiped his tears and hurriedly exited.
Xiao Langyan seemed a little weak, his eye circles were bloodshot, and his face looked as cold as white jade.
Shen Dingzhu asked him to lie down: "Can I press your head for you?"
Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not object. Instead, he pulled Shen Dingzhu's arm. He changed positions with her and rested on her lap.
Shen Dingzhu's slender jade fingers, still carrying an icy cold breath, massaged slowly, with gentle force, which made Xiao Langyan stretch his tightened eyebrows.
The room was too quiet, and it started to rain lightly outside. It was rare for Shen Dingzhu and Xiao Langyan to have such a peaceful time together.
She lowered her long slender eyelashes and asked softly: "Have you been busy lately, Your Majesty? Are you tired?"
Xiao Langyan sneered coldly: "You still know how to care about me?"
Shen Dingzhu's red lips curled into a faint smile, her fair cheeks and eyes were as clear as water.
"I have always been concerned in my heart, but I was always embarrassed to ask."
At this moment, Xu Shou asked someone to bring hot water in. Shen Dingzhu said naturally: "I will go back first."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan grabbed her wrist and opened his eyes. His thin eyes were red and bloodshot, and his eyes were gloomy and something was wrong.
"You stay and they go out. Shen Dingzhu, it's impossible to run away. You bathe for me."
Shen Dingzhu suddenly looked like a frozen cat, with a daze in his moist, dark eyes.
She... helps with bathing?
Seeing Xu Shou and others retreating, Xiao Langyan stood up and said, "Take off your clothes."
Facing his order, Shen Dingzhu stretched out his hands with difficulty, gently grabbed the edge of his trousers, then squatted down and pulled them down.
Shen Dingzhu turned his head away and even closed his eyes. He looked like a ripe red shrimp!
Xiao Langyan's low chuckle came from above his head.
"What are you avoiding?" His voice was hoarse, with a playful coldness, "Haven't you seen it before?"
Shen Dingzhu stood up immediately, staggered around the screen, and urged in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's time to take a bath!"
She wasn't shy, but suddenly she wasn't used to it.
In her previous life, she had done all the most intimate things with Xiao Langyan, but she could never let him go in front of him, even if her body tried its best to look flattering.
But, for some reason, she always trembled violently when he "attacked the city", feeling both fear and enjoyment.
Shen Dingzhu's face turned red and hot when she thought of her shame in begging Xiao Langyan to turn off the lights in her previous life.
She lowered her head and suddenly heard two muffled groans.
Xiao Langyan bumped into the table.
Shen Dingzhu quickly walked around the screen, forgetting her embarrassment just now. She supported Xiao Langyan and said, "What's wrong with the prince today? He says he's not drunk, but his eyes can't see clearly and he's swaying when he walks."
Step by step, she supported him to the inner room.
Xiao Langyan gave her a cold look and said quietly: "I was drugged during the plum banquet held by the prince just now."
For a moment, Shen Dingzhu froze on the spot.
She subconsciously looked down, Xiao Langyan, he was indeed...
