After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Shen Yunjin felt the hands around her tightening, so tight that her bones began to ache. She behaved well and said nothing.

After a while, Xiao Minshen's voice was heard in the room again.

"It wasn't until one day when I saw my mother being fed a cup of poisoned wine by the maidservant beside the queen that I began to regret it!"

"At that time, I hugged my mother and begged her not to die. I was wrong and would never be able to make a comeback. But she died anyway. The last words she left for me were that being alive is better than anything else."

"Later, I fell seriously ill and stopped studying. I couldn't even answer the questions that my father asked me to answer. My father became disappointed and gradually forgot about me. After all, the last thing the palace lacks is children. Without me, he still has more children."

Shen Yunjin reached out and patted the back of Xiao Minshen's hand soothingly.

Xiao Minshen paused for a while before continuing.

"The previous test question was because I caught a thief and found it in his arms. He gave away Minister Gao. When I tried Minister Gao, I found out that the person behind the whole thing was my second brother. Because of this, my second brother was also reprimanded by my father and was confined."

"When I went to confiscate Minister Gao's house, I found some other things. That's why I left the capital to investigate some things."

"Your Highness means that it was the Second Prince who did it?" Shen Yunjin always thought that Xiao Minshen had just encountered a robber.

"I guess my second brother must have been behind this." Xiao Minshen nodded.

"However, Fulu and Mo Yi went to investigate and found that there was more than one party at the time. In addition to the guards brought by the king, there were other corpses at the scene. It should be that there was a conflict between them."

Shen Yunjin looked at Xiao Minshen with a speechless look. It turned out that as a prince, he couldn't just sit back and relax.

"Why did Your Majesty tell me all this?" She thought about it and asked the question in her mind.

"Since you have married me, you are one with me. We will prosper together and suffer together."

"I know you have a cold personality and are unwilling to fight for something, but since you have entered this game, you might as well take the opportunity into your own hands, don't you think?"

Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin with sharp eyes. He knew that his concubine was very smart and believed that she would understand as soon as she heard it.

Shen Yunjin thought back to her previous life. Wasn't it because of her personality that Zhao Jingyan felt that she was easy to control?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been poisoned for so many years without realizing it.

Because of this heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between the two became much closer.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Minshen's wounds had all healed and began to scab over. He arranged to leave the villa early the next morning.

In the evening, Shen Yunjin began to pack his bags.

"Come on, I'll take you to a place." Xiao Minshen pulled Shen Yunjin out the door.

The summer night's moon was very bright, hanging in the middle of the sky, looking at the two of them with its head tilted.

"Your Highness, why did you bring me here?" Shen Yunjin asked, looking at the hot spring pool in front of her.

"Haven't you ever been to a hot spring? You're leaving tomorrow, don't you want to give it a try?"

After the incident with Hua Rong that day, Shen Yunjin never came again.

"Is it really possible?" Shen Yunjin looked at Xiao Minshen with sparkling eyes.

"Go, I'll guard it for you, no one will come." Xiao Minshen smiled rarely.

Shen Yunjin was a little stunned. What kind of feeling was that? It was like the feeling of a spring breeze coming suddenly overnight, and thousands of pear trees blooming.

Xiao Minshen reached out and touched the top of Shen Yunjin's head. "Go ahead. I asked the maid to prepare some clean clothes for you by the pool."

Shen Yunjin didn't start taking off his coat until he saw Xiao Minshen disappear behind the stone.

She first tentatively put her feet into the hot spring pool and found it was very warm.

She slowly groped her way in and soaked in the pool. Her mouth and nose were filled with the smell of hot spring sulfur.

The pool that Shen Yunjin entered was the largest one, and there was a gentle slope near the edge of the pool.

When she had enough fun in the pool, she lay down on the gentle slope and floated on the water.

The warm pool water surrounded her, swaying like the amniotic fluid in her mother's womb.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

Suddenly, there was a splash in the pool and someone fell into the water.

Shen Yunjin was startled and was about to kick him when someone embraced him.

"Jin'er? Are you okay?" Xiao Minshen's anxious voice was in his ears.

"Prince? Why did you come down?" Shen Yunjin's brain was a little confused.

"I called you for a long time but you didn't respond. I thought you drowned in there." Xiao Minshen hugged Shen Yunjin into his arms.

Only then did Shen Yunjin feel Xiao Minshen trembling slightly.

She reached out and slowly patted Xiao Minshen's back, "Touch the fur, it won't scare you; touch the fur, it won't scare you."

Xiao Minshen froze for a moment and looked at Shen Yunjin in his arms.

He saw Shen Yunjin looking at him with bright eyes, which were like the stars in the sky.

My face turned red because of the temperature of the pool water, just like a delicious peach. I couldn't wait to take a bite of it.

Because of the hot spring bath, Shen Yunjin only wore a bellyband and a pair of trousers.

The bellyband floated in the hot spring pool, and from Xiao Minshen's perspective, he could just see the roundness inside.

He couldn't resist the temptation, so he reached out his hand, grabbed it and rubbed it.

"Your Highness!" Just as Shen Yunjin felt something touching her waist, Xiao Minshen's hand pressed on her sensitive area.

Xiao Minshen lowered his head, blocking Shen Yunjin's words between his lips.

For a moment, only the hot spring water was rippling, and even the moon was shy and hid in the clouds.

After all the lovemaking was over, Shen Yunjin's hands and feet were weak.

She lay on Xiao Minshen's body, not wanting to move at all.

"It's late, we should go back. We have to travel early tomorrow morning, so I'll let you go today."

Xiao Minshen pulled Shen Yunjin out of the water and changed her into clean clothes that he had prepared in advance.

As soon as Shen Yunjin stood on the ground, his legs went weak and he almost had a close contact with the ground.

Fortunately, Xiao Minshen was quick to pull her back.

"Weak legs?" Xiao Minshen's words were full of smiles.

"It's all the prince's fault!" Shen Yunjin glanced at Xiao Minshen coquettishly, then buried her head in his arms.

Xiao Minshen laughed and raised his hand to pick up Shen Yunjin.

"Your Highness, please put me down. Be careful about your injury!" Shen Yunjin was anxious.

"It's okay. You weigh about the same as a kitten. It won't be a problem for me to hold another one."

The two of them returned to the house and just sat down to rest when they heard Fulu's voice outside the door.

"Your Majesty, you asked me to investigate the village chief's affairs, and I found something else."

Village chief? Isn't that Huarong's father?
