The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Chu Bainiao said coldly: "Search."

The male servant who was brought over followed the butler towards Zhuang Yan.

Seeing that Zhuang Yan still wanted to struggle, Chu Bainiao said, "If you waste more time, the one searching you will not be a male servant, but my servant."

Although the people of Da Chu are open-minded, there are still strict restrictions on sex.

After these words were spoken, Zhuang Yan could only stiffly allow the male servant to search his arms and take out a small paper bag.

Chu Bai Niao pulled the corners of his lips apart, with a fake smile, "Come here, take Zhuang Yan away and lock him up. Release him when you find out what this thing is."

Zhuang Yan looked at Chu Bainiao's stern face and reacted, wanting to explain, but was quickly covered by the personal soldiers who covered his mouth and dragged away.

She frowned and looked around. Just as she was about to send all the men in the yard out, she saw a young man in a cloak standing at the gate, leaning against the wall.

His brows relaxed.

Everyone who had been carefully observing the prince's emotions asked a question and then turned their heads together.

Ji Yan, who was suddenly stared at by everyone, silently clenched his fingers, looking frightened.

His lips turned pale, his doe-like eyes widened, and he took another step back.

Chu Bainiao opened her lips slightly: "If there is nothing else, just go back to sleep. Why are you running around so late at night?"

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, and those who were closer to the courtyard gate left first.

Ji Yan moved aside to make a wide path for them to escape.

"The prince told us to go back to sleep, why are you hiding here?" A man passing by tilted his head and looked at him with some confusion.

Ji Yan's eyes turned red, and he stammered, "I...I..."

"It's me who wants to see him about something." Chu Bainiao walked over with Zhong Shuyao.

The one who spoke could only leave in disappointment.

Ji Yan leaned against the wall, looking at Chu Bainiao who was walking towards him with sparkling eyes.

Zhong Shuyao felt sad when he saw this scene, "The relationship between the prince and Mr. Ji is really good."

There was full of envy in his voice.

Ji Yan looked at Zhong Shuyao timidly, then leaned towards Chu Bainiao in a dependent manner, smiling obediently and shyly.

Chu Bainiao explained: "Xiao Yan is quite shy."

Zhong Shuyao's eyes flashed with bitterness. Seeing that the prince didn't want to talk any more, he could only say goodbye and said, "Shuyao will go back first. The prince should also rest early."

Chu Bainiao hummed softly, and felt her senior brother's fingers moving along the hem of her clothes, and she squeezed them soothingly.

Unexpectedly, the cold finger withdrew quickly as if frightened, and even the owner of the finger blushed with drunkenness and did not dare to look at her.

Chu Bai Niao asked: "Why are you here? It's already late. Do you want to go back to bed?"

Ji Yan's body stiffened for a moment, then he quickly reacted and whispered, "For some reason, I couldn't sleep tonight, so I thought about going out for a walk."

"I heard it seemed very lively here, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."

Ji Yan felt depressed. He originally thought that he was different from those men, but after sending those men away, this woman turned around and chased him away.

He was a little confused, since she clearly seemed to like him.

Chu Bainiao thought to herself that she couldn’t sleep, but she could sleep.

She didn't know how to reply for a moment, so she could only say, "It's cool at night, you..."

She wanted to tell him to stop wandering around outside and go back to his room and lie down. He would be able to fall asleep if he closed his eyes.

But when he saw his senior brother's eyes full of attachment, he suddenly changed the subject.

"If you can't sleep, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Ji Yan pursed his lips and asked happily, "Is it really possible, my lord?"

Chu Bainiao nodded and sat down in the house with Ji Yan.

The butler came in and reported: "Your Majesty, we have found out what the powder is."

Seeing Ji Yan's curiosity, Chu Bai Niao had no choice but to ask in a deep voice: "What is it?"

The housekeeper glanced at Ji Yan carefully, and Chu Bainiao said, "It's okay, just say it directly."

The housekeeper said, "It's an aphrodisiac. Master Zhuang must have tried to drug the prince, but Master Zhong discovered him before he could do anything."

Chu Bai Niao was speechless for a moment, but since he was not a spy, she said, "Lock Zhuang Yan back in the yard and put him in solitary confinement for a month."

The butler responded and retreated respectfully.

Only Ji Yan was left looking at her cautiously and curiously, "Prince, what happened? When I came here, I saw a lot of people here. Zhuang Yan...what's going on?"

Chu Bainiao simply said, "Zhuang Yan wanted to drug me, but was discovered by others and came here to make trouble."

Ji Yan's fleshy lips slightly opened, revealing a little pink tongue, "Is it the aphrodisiac that the butler just mentioned? Your Majesty, he has gone too far."

I tried to seduce her, but Chu Bainiu didn't look at me.

Ji Yan's eyes were gentle with a hint of darkness that was barely noticeable. "Does the prince like him?"

Chu Bainiao poured a glass of water and put it to his lips, then looked away and said, "I just treat them as my brothers."

Ji Yan's face was still that beautiful and delicate, but her hands were silently clasped under the table.

The look she gave the prince was full of affection, just like the way she looked at her passionate lover with a magnanimous and infatuated look.

He pretended to be puzzled and said, "If the prince treated Master Zhuang as his brother, wouldn't you be angry if he drugged you? After a month of confinement, Master Zhuang will surely realize his mistake."

Ji Yan sneered in his heart, saying that he treated Master Zhuang as his younger brother, but the prince was really gentle with him by only confining him for a month.

Chu Bai Niao groaned: "Of course he is angry, let's lock him up first. I haven't figured out how to deal with him yet."

Ji Yan spoke softly: "Your Majesty is so kind."

Chu Bainiao looked at his senior brother again, only to see that he came out wearing a white cloak of the same color.

The cloak makes the person's skin look whiter than snow, and the eyes under the candlelight are full of affection and tenderness.

The words that wanted to chase him away were stuck in my throat.

But she still has to attend the morning court tomorrow...

Although it's okay if she doesn't rest, she seems to have gotten used to sleeping.

Ji Yan stared at the tired face of the person in front of him, and he began to feel distressed before he could even vent the anger in his heart. So, that was it.

He stood up and said softly, "It's getting late, Your Majesty, go to bed early. I'm going back."

Chu Bai Niao stood up together, watching the thin, snow-white figure slowly walk out of the door. She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart. She took a few steps to catch up with him, "I will take you back."

Ji Yan turned his head in surprise, looking at that bright and noble face, feeling half happy and half distressed, "Your Majesty, you don't have to see me off. Go back and rest. You are very tired today, aren't you?"

Of course she was tired, but when she saw her senior brother walking alone in front of her, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She decided to just send him off; it wouldn't take much time anyway.

"It's okay. Let's go. You must be a little uncomfortable since you just came to my house. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell the housekeeper or me."

"If you don't want to continue living in the palace, you can tell me directly and I will make arrangements for you."
