Xi Feng and a group of guards looked at their noses and hearts, pretending not to hear.
His Highness didn't say anything, so what could they say?
When the drunk Xie Tingzhou was brought back to Qingpu Residence, Shen Yu even broke into a thin sweat on the spring day.
The maids are in good order, making tea and preparing water.
"The water is ready in the bathroom, so I'll leave it to the guards." After saying this, the maid withdrew.
Shen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, who was drunk on the bed, and felt her head grow heavy.
She pushed the person on the couch, but she wasn't too drunk.
Xie Tingzhou slowly opened his eyes, his scattered gaze fell on her face, and it took a long time to focus.
"Auntie..."
"Do you want to take a bath?" Shen Yu asked.
"Bath." Xie Tingzhou murmured, and just as he stood up, he fell down again.
Shen Yu held his back and said, "You're so drunk, so don't take a shower today."
His slightly drunken eyes stayed on her face for a long time, and then he said: "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
After being drunk, Xie Tingzhou looked completely different from his usual self. The inherent nobility and oppression in his body disappeared, replaced by a softness that could touch the heartstrings.
Shen Yu leaned over and covered him with the quilt. When she stood up, the back of her neck suddenly tightened.
Someone grabbed the back of her neck and stubbornly refused to let her go. Their eyes were no more than a slap apart.
Xie Tingzhou locked her eyes tightly and gently stroked her cheek with the back of his fingers, causing a subtle shiver.
Shen Yu clenched her hands and was defeated by those loving eyes.
Shen Yu just looked at him like this, leaning on him, as if she was about to kiss him in the next second.
He was drunk.
She told herself that, then he probably wouldn't remember it tomorrow.
The force behind her neck became stronger, dragging her body downward.
Once the defensive line that has been painstakingly forged collapses, it will no longer be able to withstand the power of those arms.
The distance was getting closer and closer, the tips of their noses were already touching each other, and she even held her breath.
Shen Yu's eyelashes trembled twice, she closed her eyes forcefully as if resigned to her fate, and then carefully touched his eyebrows with her fingers.
It was at this moment that the world turned upside down.
Xie Tingzhou suddenly turned over and pressed on her, veins popped out on the back of his hands on both sides, and the scarlet color in his eyes gradually began to spread.
"I'm drunk," he said.
With a double entendre, he was drunk on her lowered defenses, then leaned forward and kissed her.
Perhaps because he was drunk, there was no restraint in this kiss, and it became a wanton request once touched.
The kiss was hot and intense, blocking her lips and taking away her breath.
Xie Tingzhou relaxed himself and leaned down.
She clearly had no way to retreat, but he still held the back of her head with his hand, not allowing her to dodge, and plundered her lips and tongue wantonly, burning into her heart like a long fire.
So hot, this kiss.
The spring night seemed to be on fire.
The strong alcohol released what was pressed in her body. Xie Tingzhou clamped her chin. The taste was not enough. It seemed that he had to bite her, tear her into pieces, and fill her body to be satisfied.
He restrained himself, put his thumb on her chin to tilt her head, and sucked hard on her neck.
Shen Yu's mind suddenly went blank, and her grasping hands pulled out the hills one by one from the quilt.
Xie Tingzhou pushed her fingers apart and forcibly inserted his fingers.
The candle burned out in the scorching spring night, and there was silence in the west.
Shen Yu had his arm around her waist, lying on the bed with her eyes open, staring at the dark top of the bed in a daze.
After all, he didn't do anything more extreme. He came back to his senses before the defeat and fell asleep with her in his arms.
She opened her eyes like this until dawn.
When the morning light fell faintly on the window, Shen Yu stood up.
Xie Tingzhou's hand moved, and when he grabbed the soft quilt, the slight displeasure that had just gathered on his eyebrows dispersed, and his breathing became calm again.
Shen Yu stopped in front of the bed, and when she heard the sound of Bai Yu walking under the eaves, she turned around and walked out of the room.
She almost didn't sleep all night, and fell asleep when she returned to Lu Mingxuan.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but Shen Yu was woken up by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Lu Yao ran in nervously, holding a folded piece of paper in his hand.
Lu Yao said nervously: "Is this what the young master was looking for yesterday?"
Shen Yu took it and found that a piece of paper was missing and there were marks on it that had been chewed by dogs.
"Where did it come from?"
Lu Yao threw a leggings on the table, "I went to feed Rhubarb this morning and found it in its nest."
Shen Yu quickly scanned the contents of the half page and then went to check the leggings.
The cloth at both ends of the leggings has been chewed to pieces, and the iron inside is exposed. The middle is hollow, and there are gnawed lines on the surface.
Shen Yu came closer, scratched it with her nails, twirled her fingers, and said, "That's it."
The person who made this thing is a smart man. The leggings are hollow to hide things, and the outer layer is sealed with iron powder mixed with wax oil. It can't be seen at all from the appearance.
If it hadn't been for the rhubarb to grind its teeth and play with it, I wouldn't have discovered it.
There were two pieces of paper in the gap. Shen Yu took them out and read them again, then asked Lv Yao, "Have you read the contents on them?"
Lu Yao shook his head, "I rushed to find you when I saw it, but I didn't have time to look."
Shen Yu nodded heavily, "Don't tell anyone about the discovery of this thing."
"Including His Highness the Crown Prince?" Lu Yao asked subconsciously.
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and the beautiful scenery of last night came into her mind again. She was silent for a long time, and then said: "No, it is not included. I will tell him myself."
Lu Yao nodded in understanding, and heard Erya shouting "His Royal Highness" from outside.
Shen Yu quickly folded the paper and hid it, looked left and right, and threw the hollowed leggings under the bed.
After doing this, Xie Tingzhou just stepped into the room.
"Get out." He stared at Shen Yu, but said to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao exited and gave Shen Yu a thumbs up as he closed the door.
Shen Yu glared at her, and when she looked away, she met Xie Tingzhou's cold eyes.
"Can I help you?"
Xie Tingzhou: "I was drunk last night."
Shen Yu felt that these words sounded like the excuses made by the heartless man who didn't want to take responsibility after eating and wiping them clean, but the meaning when applied to Xie Tingzhou was different.
Shen Yu looked at him unclearly.
Xie Tingzhou's side face was enveloped in the soft light coming from the clear tiles. That face was really well-made, with smooth and beautiful outlines, sharp yet soft, nothing more or less.
Xie Tingzhou stared at her and took a few steps forward, "I'm drunk, so I don't remember some things so clearly."
This is what Shen Yu expected.
She smiled and said, "Since you forget it, it's God's will. Whatever you want it to do."
Xie Tingzhou seemed not to have heard it and said to himself, "But I don't want to pass by in a daze, so I want to verify it again."
"What do you want to prove?"
Xie Tingzhou held her face and kissed her.
Last night was a half-assed act while drunk, today is a half-assed act of sobriety.
Shen Yu was stunned. When Xie Tingzhou stepped back and looked down at her, she was still in a state of shock.
Xie Tingzhou wiped his thumb across her wet lips and answered her question.
"Ask if it's as good as last night, and the answer is, it's even better."
