On the side of the screen, even though Xie Mingyi's movements were extremely light, the sound of clothes rubbing against each other made Wei Shuyao particularly nervous.

Wei Shuyao couldn't calm down, and her mind was messy.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have thought of the little mute and the noble prince in the past.

When he was young, he was alienated from others, and he looked like he didn't understand the world, and later he was favored by Shen Xingliang and took him with him with his good martial arts.

Such a person, Wei Shuyao can imagine that he is killing all directions on the battlefield, but it is difficult to imagine that he is playing with people's hearts and gaining power and profit above the court.

How did he become a prince?

Wei Shuyao heard from her brother that he was an orphan and that his entire family had died in the Binh Shun Fong bombing 13 years ago.

After the explosion, my brother and General Shen Xingliang went to Pingshunfang to clean up the mess.

They noticed Xie Mingyi at a glance.

After all, in a group of heart-rending victims, it is difficult for a little boy sitting on the curb of the road to drink porridge in silence without being noticed.

There was no panic, no crying, he sat there quietly, as if there was only one important thing in the whole world, and that was to fill his stomach.

At that time, Wei Ming had been on the battlefield for several years, and he was quite surprised to see this situation. Shen Xingliang was also curious, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are there any relatives at home?" I'll send you to your relatives. ”

The seven or eight-year-old child just raised his eyes slightly, looked at the tall and mighty general, then lowered his eyes, and said softly: "No, all are dead." ”

His flat voice sounded so out of place amid the overwhelming cries.

Wei Shuyao heard her brother mention it, and when he spoke, he didn't have any emotion.

It's like...... Hide all your emotions behind those dark eyes.

Shen Xingliang saw that he was pitiful, so he took him back to the barracks and pointed him to the man for adoption, naming him Shen Yi.

Xu was so stimulated by the bombing that he fell seriously ill as soon as he arrived at the barracks, and when he woke up, he couldn't speak, and he didn't speak again until he was a teenager.

And now, the mute orphan who was given alms back then has become the crown prince.

If you are an ordinary person, you must take revenge for all the pain you have experienced in the past.

But Xie Mingyi didn't.

He returned to the palace for three months, behaved decently, filial piety and generosity, and seemed to be not guilty of everything in the past.

Wei Shuyao didn't know what he thought, but she vaguely felt ......

He just didn't bother to retaliate.

Or maybe his energy was spent on something more important.

For example, King Ning's rebellion case.

I heard that in this case, the prince changed his usual gentleness, and no matter who pleaded, he had no intention of backing down.

Just like the real dragon against the scales, it will die when touched.

Because of this, Wei Shuyao walked around before, but she didn't dare to go to the prince to intercede. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found out when he raided his house that Xie Mingyi was actually His Royal Highness the Prince.

After a while, hearing the slight sound of rippling water, Wei Shuyao pursed her lips, and her eyes glanced at the screen with a ghostly look.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I was surprised to find that this screen was actually made of yarn.

Under the intertwined flowers and birds, a moist mist shrouded the man's back, and it was dim, and he could only see his thin shoulders resting on the edge of the white marble pool.

She only glanced at it secretly, and vaguely felt that he was not in a good mood.

Then, a deep voice was heard urging him to whisper, "Who is standing there?" ”

Wei Shuyao took a breath, so she had to take a hard step and bypass the screen.

I saw Xie Mingyi raise his hand and rest his arms on the edge of the pool, and the petals in front of him were swaying slowly in the pool water. His long hair was untied and draped behind him, and his features softened a little in the mist.

He was so far away, but Wei Shuyao smelled the faint smell of cedar in the warm water vapor between his noses.

Wei Shuyao hurriedly moved her eyes, standing there helplessly, staring at her toes.

Xie Mingyi looked at her and looked taken aback. The next moment, he immediately understood.

"Cui, Chang, Shun!"

This bastard boy actually let Wei Shuyao come in and serve him in a bath?

Xie Mingyi gritted his teeth, and his tone suddenly mentioned.

Chang Shun, who was putting his clothes on the screen on the other side, heard it, and ran over in a panic, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Xie Mingyi looked over coldly, and was about to speak, but saw that the girl's pale little face was flushed, and the shame was red to the root of her ears, and the fingers curled up on the side of her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her self-calm appearance was a little funny.

…… Like a frightened quail.

Xie Mingyi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and his bony fingers fiddled with the petals in the water, kneading the petals and popping them out again, stirring the water so loudly that the ripples rippled.

He said in a deep voice, "Out, go." ”

Changshun was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why his master was angry, so he simply ran out as if he was running for his life.

Looking at the back of Changshun leaving, Xie Mingyi almost laughed angrily, he clearly asked Wei Shuyao to go out, what did this bastard kid escape?

The moment she heard the angry sneer, Wei Shuyao's feet slipped slightly, and she didn't dare to move, the hot and humid water vapor and the thick white mist made her breathing start to be unsmooth.

"Offend, offend Your Highness......" she lowered her eyes in fear, held her breath, and took a step back.

Wei Shuyao couldn't care about what Xie Mingyi was thinking, and turned around with a flushed face.

It was only after a long time that she moved behind the screen, and she was relieved for a long time.

But now, it's not going to go, it's not going to go.

She thought that if she could weaken her hostility a little, even if he used him as a slave, it would not be a great difficulty to stay here......

Wei Shuyao bit her lip and struggled for a moment, but finally didn't move and waited on the side of the screen.

She waited for a long time, but only heard that it was always quiet, except for the sound of rushing water at the beginning, and then it was completely quiet.

Wei Shuyao hesitated for a while, feeling that something was not quite right. She held her breath and quietly looked back, glancing at it very quickly.

Seeing this, Wei Shuyao panicked.

Only the petals of the flowers swayed slightly on the surface of the water, and there was no one in the soup pool!

She hesitated for a moment and called in a low voice, "Your Highness? ”

There was no reaction in the soup pool, as if there was no one.

I waited for a few more moments, but I still didn't hear any movement. Wei Shuyao was a little flustered, and felt that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she bit her lip.

When I was a child, once my brother took a bath after being drunk, slipped into the bathtub after falling asleep, and almost drowned, but Dr. He rescued him with a needle. It scared her enough that she cried for a few hours before she eased.

He—he's not going to drown, is he?

Wei Shuyao hesitated slightly, then lowered her mind, hurriedly ran to the soup pool, and was about to lean down.

As soon as her slender fingers poked into the water, there was a sudden sound of "bang" in front of her, which made her stiffen and fall straight to the ground.

Wei Shuyao's eyes widened suddenly.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked her vision like a shadow covering the sky, and the coolness from her eyes made her forget to move for a moment.

The water in the bath was steaming, Xie Mingyi stood half in the water, the muscles on his broad shoulders and waist were faintly bulging, and the moist water shone in the dim candlelight. She saw large droplets of water slide down his tight chest, sliding down the well-defined muscles to the clearly visible abs.

Her mind went blank, she froze and didn't dare to move, only to feel her heart beat like a wild horse, and she almost suffocated.

"Miss Wei Qi."

Xie Mingyi lifted his eyes, and there was chaos in his lacquer-colored eyes.

"Have you seen enough?"

The voice was cold.

Wei Shuyao hurriedly looked away, cold hairs stood up on her neck, and she knelt on the ground in a panic to avoid the pressure in his eyes.

"I—I just want to ......" She was a little weak-hearted, her voice fluttering, and she simply shut up and didn't explain.

The ground was slippery, Wei Shuyao's knees hurt slightly, and she moved back carefully. Although she couldn't see Xie Mingyi's appearance clearly, she could clearly know that he was staring at her.

The heavy gaze seemed to crush her.

"Lonely's clothes, bring them."

There was another deep voice in front of her, and although the tone was flat, she heard a little impatience.

Wei Shuyao was stunned, biting her lip, and her originally pale face was instantly flushed. But she didn't dare to look up, so she just fell to the ground in a daze.

Xie Mingyi looked at her coldly, looking at her clenched little fist on the ground, wondering how long it would take for her to tear through the well-behaved surface of this disguise.

But the trembling petite body trembled a few times, and then calmed down, but when he spoke, his voice was still a little trembling: "I, I'm here to serve His Highness and dress." ”

Xie Mingyi was a little surprised, listening to the grievances in her last note, she inexplicably felt two points better.

Wei Shuyao turned around and ran behind the screen, and suddenly heard the sound of "bang" water splashing on the ground, mixed with the slight sound of a towel wiping.

Her little face was flushing even more, almost ripe.

Xie Mingyi watched her staggering over to get her clothes, and moved in a panic, holding the brocade clothes in her hands, and didn't dare to lean over for a while.

Xie Mingyi casually dragged a towel to cover his body, propped up his eyelids, and glanced at him, "What are you stunned about, don't you want to?" ”

Wei Shuyao stammered, "No, it's not!" ”

She didn't dare to bet on Xie Mingyi's patience anymore. What's more, she still has a request for him.

Without waiting for Wei Shuyao to stretch out her hand, her wet fingers landed on her wrist. Drops of water from his long hair spilled down and seeped through the wound on her forehead, causing her to wake up a little.

After a very fast touch, Xie Mingyi took the clothes from her hand, wiped the water stains away, and put on his clothes with his back to her.

Wei Shuyao bit her lip, narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and stepped forward again, wanting to tie the belt of his coat.

She was so flustered that she couldn't see the front clearly, and her hands trembled so much that she didn't tie it for a long time, but tied it in a dead knot.

Then, she heard a voice in front of her—

The very soft "tsk" sound implied anger.

The condensed droplets of water on the beams of the house dripped down and landed on Wei Shuyao's head.

It's so cool.

Wei Shuyao thought desperately, she originally thought that she could survive three days in his hands, but now it seems that she can't survive an hour.

After a while, Xie Mingyi's nose let out a cold snort, his arm waved slightly, and he waved Wei Shuyao's hand away, "Stay away from Lonely." ”

If Wei Shuyao was amnesty, she hurriedly retreated and was about to push the door out. At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of kicking outside -

"Feng Tianzi's command, Jin Yiwei searches for assassins, and the idlers get out of the way as soon as possible!"

Wei Shuyao's pupils shrank, her heart panicked, and when she looked up, she saw that the bright fire had arrived in front of the East Palace.

Her scalp tightened, she turned around sharply, and grabbed Xie Mingyi's sleeve with her backhand.

The search sound outside gradually approached, faintly mixed with Changshun's scolding.

Wei Shuyao instinctively stood on tiptoe, looked at Xie Mingyi with her head high, and blurted out, "Shen Yi, save me......"

The two were very close, Xie Mingyi's eyes flashed over her beautiful face, and he saw that the clear eyes were full of panic.

Her long thick eyelashes trembled, and her eyes rippled with water, as if she was terrified.

His fingertips could even feel the tremor on her arm, like a delicate finch fluttering in the palm of his hand.

The movement outside was getting louder and louder, Wei Shuyao held her breath, and prayed in a trembling voice, "Please......"

The candlelight spilled out of the lamp and sprinkled on her delicate neck, like the warm sun spreading out in the snow.

It's hard to take your eyes off, and even your heartbeat is a little faster.
