After a long night of tossing, the faint light of morning gradually dimmed outside the door. Xia Houzhan still didn't leave. He just lay on her bed without asking, not knowing whether he was asleep or just closing his eyes to rest.
Shen Qing took a closer look and wanted to drive him away immediately, but the servants searching outside had not dispersed yet. If he walked out of his room with injuries, it would definitely arouse suspicion if he was spotted, so he had no choice but to leave.
Let him stay in the room and rest for now.
She lowered her head and looked at the clothes on her body. The single clothes she wore had long been torn by Xia Houzhan. She looked like this and was extremely depressed. Thinking that she had been tired for several days and had not been able to sleep well at night, Shen Qing felt in her heart.
It was so depressing.
Anyway, a high degree of consensus has been reached just now. Shen Qing took out the clothes from the closet and looked at him warily for a few times before going behind the screen to put them on and walking out with the blood-stained clothes. Shen Qing was at a loss what to do. This clothes was going to be seen by the servants.
If you do, it will also arouse suspicion...
Xia Houzhan just closed his eyes and took a rest. He knew exactly what the woman was doing in the room. When he opened his eyes, he saw her holding her clothes in a daze with a worried look on her face. He said in a deep voice: "Come here."
Shen Qing was slightly stunned, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say that you have been tired for many days working on the renovation? Since I have agreed, the general will not touch you. You can come and lie down for a while."
Shen Qing snorted angrily. This was obviously her room. It was good that she didn't chase him away. On the contrary, he was willing to give up half the bed to her as a guest.
"Why, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid."
Xia Houzhan smiled faintly. This woman is quite easy to be stimulated. "Then come and lie down for a while. There are still several hours until dawn. Do you want to stand there all the time?"
Shen Qing turned his head and looked outside. He was tired after a night of lack of sleep, and his brain was really about to explode with pain. So he walked forward and drove him into the bed. He moved the quilt to block him and jumped out of Chuhehanjie.
Satisfied, he lay down on the bed.
The two of them shared a pillow, lying together peacefully for the first time. In the quiet morning light, Shen Qing turned his head slightly and saw Xia Houzhan staring directly at him.
"I know I'm beautiful, you don't need to remind me like this."
Xia Houzhan turned his eyes away angrily and looked at the wooden corridor above the big bed, "Yours really doesn't look like the women of Dazhou at all."
"You have said this many times."
"If you like me, you won't mind if I come from Jingchu?"
"What's there to worry about..." Shen Qing yawned and gave a mixed reply.
Compared with Da Zhou, Jing Chu is just a little more wild, but ordinary Da Zhou women will be scared to death as soon as they hear that they are going to marry Jing Chu. He didn't treat the women that Fu Yanche sent before at all.
No matter what, they were all scared out of their wits, but she... was really different.
Turning his eyes again, he found that the woman next to him had really fallen asleep. Xia Houzhan frowned slightly, remembering what she said about renovating a private house. He agreed to let her do business at that time, just because he was afraid that she would be bored. This woman
Why are you so stupid that you have to tire yourself out so much?
This night was the busiest night in the General's Mansion in Winterfell. Ahu, who was unwilling to accept that the kitchen was ransacked, and Lieutenant General Liu, who was angry that the general had invaded, led everyone to search the General's Mansion inside and out several times.
We searched the city twice, but could not find the whereabouts of the thief.
The two of them slept peacefully and comfortably, but no one expected that a passionate kiss in the kitchen would eventually turn into a major event that caused panic among the people of Winterfell.
On the other side, in the Yangcheng Palace, the servants who were ready to set off had already packed up. In the cold morning wind, Xue Yixuan stood resolutely in front of the palace gate where the sixth prince was resting, with a solemn face and a cold posture.
Liyue behind her could no longer bear the chill of the cold wind and said softly: "Princess, the Sixth Prince only woke up at this time. There is no other way for you to wait here all night. I beg you, please go back and rest first.
"
Xue Yixuan responded in silence, his persistent eyes fixed on the gate of the palace courtyard.
"Princess, I beg you, please go back first. If this continues, your body will not be able to bear it."
Liyue begged behind her. In the eyes of others, the princess was a cruel person, but in her eyes, the princess was just someone who saved her whole family. No matter what, she would stand behind the princess to support her.
.
Xue Yixuan said coldly, "If you can't stand it anymore, get out of here and don't make any noise around me."
Liyue lowered her head in silence, stood silently for a while, and then spoke out: "Princess Princess, I will go back and bring you a light fur coat."
Xue Yixuan kept waiting with an expressionless face. Before falling asleep last night, she suddenly received a message from someone sent by the Sixth Prince, asking Ji Liansi to go to Winterfell with him.
She knew that she had indeed said the wrong thing that day, which was why the Sixth Prince had been alienated and ostracized recently. However, the woman named Ji pretended to be polite and stayed in the palace with a bad excuse of a foot injury. She thought she was leaving Yangcheng.
After that, she had no chance to get close to the Sixth Prince again. She didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would take the initiative to take her away now.
This woman had a low status. Her grandfather was a guilty minister who was dismissed from office by the Holy Emperor. How could she be qualified to follow the Sixth Prince? As soon as she received the message, she immediately came to ask the Sixth Prince.
The excuse to go to bed was blocked outside the courtyard gate.
The rays of morning light illuminated the sky little by little, and finally at midnight, a neat and orderly row of palace maids entered the palace courtyard carrying toiletries.
Not long after, the door of the room was opened by the palace maid. Fu Yanche slowly took a step forward. His black and silver brocade robe was engraved with gold and silver threads. It shone in the cold sunlight, as dazzling as he himself. He took a deep breath.
Tone, ignoring the sudden appearance of Xue Yixuan standing in the courtyard, raised his eyes to look at the sky before setting off.
Xue Yixuan dragged his sore feet, stepped forward step by step, and bowed with difficulty, "Sixth Master."
Fu Yanche glanced at her indifferently and said coldly, "If you want to say unnecessary things, you don't have to speak."
Xue Yixuan paused, raised a smile and said softly: "Sixth Master, I would like to take one more person to Winterfell, is it possible?"
"Who do you want to take?"
"Shen Qingluo's biological sister, Shen Ruyue."
"What are you taking her to do?"
Xue Yixuan smiled calmly, "Sixth Master can take Miss Ji with him, but can't I find a compatible girl to keep me company?"
Fu Yanche glanced at her. Xue Yixuan was arrogant by nature and never looked down upon low-status people. How could he get along with Shen Qingluo's biological sisters and stay in front of the courtyard all night for the sake of this woman?
, said calmly as usual, "You can take it with you if you want."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Xue Yixuan smiled and leaned over to thank him again. His lowered eyes were cold and penetrating. Even wearing a light coat could not dispel the chill in his heart. The longer he waited, the clearer his mind became.
It is extremely difficult to guess the thoughts of the sixth prince. On the way north for inspection, many beautiful women appeared, but the only one he was really interested in was Shen Qingluo!
