Chapter 117
Ye Qingwan froze for a while and immediately pulled her hand back, pretending that nothing happened. Shen Heng looked at the empty palms and his expression gradually became more and more ugly.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and walked forward. He never expected that less than an hour after leaving, Ye Qingwan would wake up and be so intimate with Shen Heng.
You must know that Ye Qingwan rarely looks good to Shen Heng on weekdays, let alone hold hands with Shen Heng and look at each other affectionately. Therefore, he felt that Shen Heng must have forced Ye Qingwan to do this.
Li Yu thought about it, and his heart became more and more sad. He glanced at the two of them lightly, then fixed his gaze on Shen Heng, and said indifferently: "Your Highness's actions should not be too excessive. After all, Miss Ye is a girl who has not left the court. , it would be bad if others saw it and spread it, it would damage the reputation of the girl’s family.”
Shen Heng just looked back at him indifferently and said nothing.
Probably only Xu Gu knew that if Ye Qingwan hadn't been present, the two people would most likely fight.
Although Xu Gu didn't want to bring Li Yu to disturb Shen Heng's good deeds, he had something important to report at the moment. So he stepped forward and said, "Master, they really want to silence them. Just when the prince and I arrived, , a masked man in black is preparing to kill the sleeping sixth prince."
Shen Heng said coldly: "Did you see who it was?"
Xu Gu shook his head: "No."
Sensing the change in the other person's eyes, Xu Gu immediately said, "But my subordinate left a sword wound on his hand."
Shen Heng nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he tucked Ye Qingwan into bed, and said in a doting tone: "Wait until I come back."
Xu Gu on the side shivered unexpectedly.
Li Yu pursed his thin lips and turned away in frustration.
Ye Qingwan was stunned and hadn't recovered yet. When she came to her senses, Shen Heng had already left, leaving Xu Gu behind. The two of them looked at each other, and Xu Gu came out of the tent and said he would be guarding outside. , just call him if you need anything.
Looking at the tall figure, Ye Qingwan fell into deep thought again.
Did Xu Gu stay behind to protect her safety, or was he afraid that she would escape back to the house alone?
On the other side, Shen Zhuo was sitting in the tent, sipping fragrant tea carefully, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed, looking very worried.
The curtain was suddenly lifted, and then a masked man in black rushed in with his arm still bleeding.
Shen Zhuo's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly stood up and helped the man in black over. The man in black tore off the black cloth covering his face. Under the dim candlelight, a handsome and handsome face was full of sorrow. It was Shen Yi who had just escaped from Shen Ming's tent.
Shen Yi gasped and said in annoyance: "What should I do, fourth brother? I've been discovered!"
Shen Zhuo was furious when he heard this, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he saw the aggrieved look on his face, he retracted his hand angrily, vented his anger on the table, and said angrily: "Why are you like this?" Reckless! ”
Shen Yi lowered his head and explained at a loss: "I thought it was so late, they should all be asleep. Then" he said, he suddenly became excited: "I almost succeeded! Who knew that Shen Yi Heng's secret guards and the prince will suddenly appear."
Shen Zhuo was so angry at him that he suddenly raised his red eyes and asked in a low voice without hope: "Is there any clue left?"
Then Shen Yi tremblingly raised an arm with a sword wound under Shen Zhuo's gaze.
Shen Zhuo leaned weakly on the chair, took a deep breath, and after relaxing for a while, he silently found gauze to treat Shen Yi's wound to prevent it from getting worse and heating up.
Shen Yi looked at Shen Zhuo who was sweating profusely from work and was about to go out. His trembling voice sounded a little crying: "Fourth brother, am I finished?"
Shen Zhuo turned his back to him and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
Isn't this just asking questions knowingly?
Everyone was kept in the paddock as suspects tonight, in order to find out the real culprit who persecuted Shen Ming tomorrow morning. The original idea was that he would come up with a way to deal with it, and if it didn't work, he would send a dead soldier. I went to silence him, but I never thought that Shen Yi would be so impulsive and choose to do it himself, leaving a wound on his hand.
Shen Yi stood up suddenly, rushed forward and hugged Shen Zhuo, choking and saying: "Fourth brother, I don't want to die yet."
Shen Zhuo's eyes moved slightly. After a long silence, he turned around and hugged Shen Yi into his arms. The hand hanging by his side also involuntarily rubbed the other person's head. Shen Zhuo slowed down his voice and called him softly. The word: "Lian Xu."
When Shen Yi heard these two words, she burst into tears instantly. She snuggled into her fourth brother's arms and cried like a whimpering animal.
Just because Shen Zhuo would always call him by his small name when he was extremely disappointed with him.
Shen Zhuo closed his eyes tiredly and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you die."
Shen Yi nodded.
Shen Zhuo opened his dimmed eyes, which no longer showed anger and annoyance, but endless tolerance. He raised a wry smile and said calmly: "Don't cause more troubles in the future, it won't happen every time. I'll clean up the mess for you."
Shen Yi was suddenly stunned.
Shen Zhuo had said this to him countless times, and every time he would still help him end it silently with a bad face, but this time, he always felt that there was something in the other person's words.
It was as if they were about to experience a separation of life and death, and Shen Zhuo would never clean up his mess again.
He pushed Shen Zhuo away, wiped the tears from his face, and asked seriously: "What do you mean?"
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Zhuo looked at his suddenly serious expression, leaned over and rubbed his head, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and he said: "Go and rest first, and get some sleep. It’ll be fine when you get up.”
Shen Yi pursed his lips, his eyes gradually brightened, he stopped thinking about other things, turned around and went to rest obediently.
He lay tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He turned over and watched Shen Zhuo silently clean up the blood stains left by him. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but remember that every time he got into trouble, Shen Zhuo would teach him a lesson. After it was over, he would help him deal with the aftermath silently like this.
Shen Yi was wondering whether he should apologize to his fourth brother.
After all, he has gotten into countless troubles for so long, but he has never cared about Shen Zhuo who always helped him deal with the aftermath, and always enjoyed his kindness to him with peace of mind.
After struggling for a while, Shen Yi sighed tiredly: "You can rest early when you're done."
He still couldn't express what was in his heart.
Shen Zhuo smiled: "Yeah, okay."
Looking at Shen Zhuo's smiling face, Shen Yi felt even more uncomfortable, and finally shed tears uncontrollably.
In front of his fourth brother, Shen Yi was always so fragile.
After Shen Zhuo finished dealing with the blood stains, he came back and raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said warmly: "How old are you? Isn't it shameful to cry twice a day? If you cry again, I will leave."
"Brother," Shen Yi pulled his sleeve, lowered his eyes and choked with sobs: "I hate it so much, why, why did we have to be born in the emperor's family."
Shen Zhuo was silent and covered him with a quilt: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go to sleep. I'm tired today. I'll take care of your affairs. Don't worry anymore."
Shen Yi looked at him deeply, then closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
For a long time, after confirming that Shen Yi was asleep, Shen Zhuo carefully stood up and dressed, then took off the sword hanging on the side and walked out of the tent.
