Chapter 18: Return home

In the early morning, the cold wind blew.

Han Rongxuan, who had slept all night, slightly opened his slightly hazy black eyes, and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands.

His head hurt so much, and his throat was so dry that it was almost on fire. He rubbed the center of his brow vigorously, and pulled away the quilt a little tiredly. He was about to get out of bed and get a glass of water, but suddenly he found something on his waist.

There was an extra pair of hands.

His heart tightened, and he suddenly recalled last night's scene in his mind. He quickly opened the quilt, and sure enough, he saw Xin'erchi sleeping naked next to him.

He glanced at Xin'er coldly, threw her hand around his waist aside with some disgust, then picked up the clothes on the side, casually draped them around his body, and walked out of bed.

Walking to the table, he poured himself a cup of tea, and then drank it all in one breath. After drinking so much wine, his throat was so dry that it was almost on the verge of burning. He drank several more cups of tea in succession, and he

I finally felt a lot more comfortable.

Sitting hard on the chair, he moved his neck uncomfortably, and his headache became even more severe. At this moment, a pair of soft hands suddenly touched his forehead and rubbed it gently for him.

"Are you feeling better?" Xin'er asked shyly.

Han Rongxuan frowned irritably, pushed her hand away forcefully, and said with displeasure, "Go back!" He didn't want to see her now, so she'd better be obedient and leave.

Seeing his cold attitude, Xin'er bit her red lips with some grievance. "I want to stay here to accompany you." She knew that the reason why he was so gentle to her last night was because he was drunk.

She thought she was Shen Chuyao. However, she didn't care. No matter who he thought she was, she only knew that the woman beside him last night was her.

"Get out!" he warned her one last time.

Xin'er didn't care about his indifference. She stretched out her hand and gently hugged his waist from behind, and said coquettishly, "I want to accompany you!"

He suddenly pushed her away hard and yelled at her fiercely, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Xin'er's shoulders shook in fear, and tears suddenly flowed out.

"Did you hear me telling you to get out? Are you still waiting for me to throw you out?" He didn't want to see her now, not at all.

Although she has no dignity in front of him, she will still be sad! Her heart is not made of iron, and she will also be sad. She knows that she may be worthless in his heart, but he keeps going so

Even if you hurt her, she won’t be able to bear it!

This time, before he could take action, Xin'er ran out of the room crying.

As soon as Xin'er left, Han Rongxuan's anger calmed down a little. His chest was still rising and falling rapidly, and with his anger still lingering, he angrily threw the teacup on the table against the room.

Door, the whole person exudes a deep perseverance.

Last night, it was his fault. He shouldn't have drank so much. Originally, he planned to arrange for Xin'er to leave here and send her away forever. But now that Xin'er and he have become a real couple, how can he

He can also drive her out of the palace! He knew that if he really wanted to drive Xin'er away, it would be an easy task, but he was never the kind of irresponsible person.

Taking a deep breath, his head started to hurt more and more. Forget it, he still had many things to solve. Let’s talk about Xin’er later!

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Today's Prime Minister's Mansion is very different from usual. In today's Prime Minister's Mansion, all the servants are missing. Even Butler Wu, who is usually busy in the mansion, is also missing. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion is silent for a while. You can even hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground.

Sitting in the room, Shen Muzhi had been awake all night. He thought a lot that night. He thought about countless possibilities for Shen Chuyao to appear at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but later he found that none of them were correct. of.

Slowly closing his eyes, he calmly turned the sapphire ring on his hand with his fingers, without any trace of panic on his face.

‘Knock knock—’ A knock on the door suddenly rang.

Hearing the sound, Shen Muzhi did not open his eyes, but slowly shouted to the door, "Come in."

As soon as Butler Wu heard the order, he hurriedly opened the door and walked quickly into the house. "Master." He called softly and hurriedly saluted Shen Muzhi.

Shen Muzhi still had his eyes closed and asked calmly, "How are things going?"

Butler Wu said, "I have already made arrangements for all my servants. I told them that they are absolutely not allowed to leak out anything about the lady's return home last night, otherwise it will be a dead end."

Shen Muzhi didn't speak or open his eyes, he just sat there quietly, waiting for Butler Wu to say more.

Butler Wu continued hurriedly. "I went to Prince Xuan's Mansion this morning to inquire. The people in Prince Xuan's Mansion had never heard about the return of the young lady. I heard from their servants that the young lady suddenly disappeared in Prince Xuan's Mansion a few days ago. Later, Concubine Yu We went to look for her, but couldn't find her, and they haven't seen her for many days."

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he still didn't speak. He just frowned slightly, but soon relaxed it again. "It seems that the person who sent Chu Yao back wanted to kill me deliberately!" A few days ago What happened in the palace has already spread throughout Loulan. Now Concubine Yu and Han Rongxu are almost crazy looking for Chu Yao. This person sent Chu Yao back at this time. Isn't it obvious that he wants to kill him? He is now What should we do? Hand over Chu Yao? But he is a prime minister. If he hand over his daughter with his own hands, what will the people of Loulan think of him? What will the princes and ministers in the court think of him? He? Han Rongxu was usually domineering and domineering, and the people and ministers in Loulan all hated him. Now if he handed Chu Yao over, others would think he did it because he was afraid of death. How will he gain a foothold in the entire Loulan Kingdom from now on?

He has worked hard for so many years to reach the position of Prime Minister, and he has also tried his best to maintain his reputation. Can he really abandon his reputation and ignore it now?

"Master?" After not seeing Shen Muzhi speak for a long time, Butler Wu couldn't help but call him softly.

"Miss, are you awake?" Shen Muzhi opened his eyes slightly, slowly stood up from the chair, and looked at the window. It was getting light so quickly! It seemed that he had been sitting all night.
