Xiao Langyan frowned slightly.
In Shen Dingzhu's eyes, his appearance was like the arrival of a god, bringing her a little hope and light in the darkness of such an early night.
At this point, Shen Dingzhu realized that she couldn't leave at all, and she couldn't leave.
Her family needs Xiao Langyan's help.
Shen Dingzhu tugged on his sleeves, waiting for his reaction with tears in his eyes.
However, at this time, a voice suddenly came from the carriage behind Xiao Langyan: "What happened?"
She raised her eyes and saw Ma Xuewei, the daughter of Ma Shangshu, lifting the curtain to look at them.
Shen Dingzhu was stunned. It turned out that today's palace banquet was actually organized by the queen to celebrate the marriage of Xiao Langyan and Ma Xuewei in advance.
They are a perfect match and have similar status. It is reasonable for them to leave the palace together.
Shen Dingzhu licked his bitter lips, and his words for help suddenly became mute in his throat and could not be spoken.
When she hesitated, Ma Xuewei had already stepped out of the carriage and came to them with inquiring eyes.
Ma Xuewei lowered her eyes and saw that Shen Dingzhu was holding Xiao Langyan's sleeve tightly. With such an intimate touch, Xiao Langyan did not push her away.
"What does it smell like?" Ma Xuewei frowned, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and looked at Shen Dingzhu, "Aunt Shen, you are in such a mess, could it be that you met someone bad?"
With just a few words, I wanted to destroy Shen Dingzhu's innocence.
Xiao Langyan said at this moment: "Chen Heng."
Chen Heng came up from behind, but heard Xiao Langyan's instructions: "Unload a horse and leave it to me, and then you can send Miss Ma back to Shangshu Mansion first."
Ma Xuewei Danfeng's eyes were filled with confusion for a moment. She looked at Xiao Langyan and couldn't believe what she heard.
Xiao Langyan wanted to abandon Aunt Shen halfway for someone of such low status?
Chen Heng worked quickly and unloaded one of the two tall horses and led him in front of Xiao Langyan.
Shen Dingzhu begged in a harsh voice: "Your Majesty..."
"Needless to say, this king knows about this matter and will arrange for someone to take care of it." He said coldly, pulling off his cloak from his body and covering the embarrassed Shen Dingzhu's head.
After that, he didn't mind the fishy smell and embarrassment on her body, so he picked her up and got on the horse together.
Shen Dingzhu huddled in front of his chest, feeling that the summer wind blowing in her face was bitter.
Ma Xuewei took two steps after him: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning!"
She hesitated to speak, and her eyes showed a hint of harshness. She wanted to see if Xiao Langyan would really leave her here!
Xiao Langyan looked at her, his voice as cold as jade: "I have something to do at home, so I have to take a step forward. Miss Ma, take your leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently clamped the horse's belly and returned directly in the direction of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Along the way, Xiao Langyan didn't speak to Shen Dingzhu, but he could feel her hot tears soaking the clothes on his chest.
After returning to the palace, Shen Bi came over immediately, and the servants in the palace were looking around with lanterns.
Shen Bi shouted hurriedly: "Stop looking for me, my aunt is back, she came back with the prince!"
Xu Shou hurriedly came over and breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to blame him, but Xiao Langyan was not here.
"Aunt Shen, you scared the Za family quite a lot." If someone is lost in the mansion, how can I explain it to the prince?
Shen Dingzhu leaned in Xiao Langyan's arms, her face a little pale. She had been suffering from a minor illness for a long time recently, so she just tried her best to look for it and felt no pain.
Now in Xiao Langyan's arms, he seemed to have regained all consciousness. His feet hurt badly and his mouth smelled of blood.
Xiao Langyan ordered Xu Shou in a deep voice: "Go and prepare water."
After a while, Xu Shou directed two boys to bring hot water in. Xiao Langyan kicked the door shut, and then, with a few strokes, he peeled off Shen Dingzhu's clothes.
The skin of the beauty who had just come into contact with the air trembled.
She blushed and covered the spring light on her body. With a slender hand, she symbolically pushed Xiao Langyan, but did not completely push him away.
At this time, she was as well-behaved as a house cat that was completely dependent on him.
Xiao Langyan helped her take off her clothes and then carried her into the bathtub. The sleeves with dragon patterns were rolled up to her elbows, revealing her thin and strong arms and her smooth palms.
After pouring a ladle of hot water on his head, Shen Dingzhu regained some of his rationality, and his heart gradually calmed down with the temperature of the water.
It was only then that she realized that Xiao Langyan was actually helping her bathe?
Shen Dingzhu raised his head silently and looked at him with beautiful eyes covered with water drops. He saw Xiao Langyan's stern face.
While rubbing her shoulders, he said coldly: "Next time you embarrass me like this, I will lock you in the yard and you will not be allowed to go anywhere."
Shen Dingzhu looked sad: "My second brother is missing, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Langyan interrupted her domineeringly, "Since my father decided to call him back to the capital, do you think that I, the king, will not be prepared?"
He just came back a little late, but this woman actually got into trouble, hurt herself somewhere, and smelled fishy.
The embarrassed look seemed to have been severely bullied, and an unknown fire surged in Xiao Langyan's heart.
Hearing the meaning of his words, Shen Dingzhu suddenly understood. She straightened up suddenly: "What do you mean, Your Majesty, nothing happened to my second brother?"
The crystal water drops rolled down the snow-white skin and slid silently into the tub.
Xiao Langyan slowly looked down, looking at her delicate body, his eyes gradually became dark and hot.
Shen Dingzhu reacted and quickly sat back in the tub, using the petals on the water to cover his face. His cheeks were already red and bleeding.
However, although she resisted a little, her left hand resting on the edge of the tub was still gently tugging at the corner of his clothes. In such a helpless situation, she subconsciously relied completely on Xiao Langyan.
Xiao Langyan sneered: "You don't have to worry about it. There are some things that are not convenient for me to tell you now, but if you are stupid again in the future, I will drive you out of the house."
He spoke harsh words, but moved his hands gently. Shen Dingzhu quietly enjoyed a moment, cherishing this rare tranquility between the two of them.
Once upon a time, in the previous life, they were so close.
At that time, Shen Dingzhu almost misunderstood. She thought Xiao Langyan was so kind to her because he fell in love with her.
Later I discovered that he was nice to her just because she looked a bit like Fu Yunqiu.
Thinking of this, the fire in Shen Dingzhu's heart that had just been ignited gradually extinguished, and she leaned against the tub obediently without saying a word.
After she finished washing, Xiao Langyan wrapped her in a cloth, fished her out, and brought her back to the bed. Later, he placed two pieces of bamboo silk incense and smoked her inside and out.
Seeing Xiao Langyan's sharp frown, Shen Dingzhu couldn't help but raise her arms and smell herself.
"Is there still a fishy smell?"
Xiao Langyan said with a dark face: "No, otherwise, I will throw you in and wash you again."
Shen Dingzhu was wrapped in a quilt, her wet hair stuck to the side of her face, making her face look the size of a palm, her eyes were watery, and she hesitated to speak in her small mouth.
Xiao Langyan was not bad at treating her. If it weren't for him, if her second brother was really in danger, she would be beyond her reach and wouldn't be able to take care of him.
Shen Dingzhu felt a little sorry when he thought that he was still preparing to leave the capital.
"Your Majesty, actually I..." She wanted to confess, so she took the initiative to say it before he found out.
However, at this time, Chen Heng was outside and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Ma has entrusted her humble position to bring you a message."
Shen Dingzhu's voice stopped suddenly.
