After Shen Chu fell asleep, Xie Ming slowly got up and turned his head to look at the sleeping Shen Chu, with a complicated expression on his face.

This was the third time he had left in the middle of the night.

When Xie Ming was about to get up, he slowly bent down and left a kiss on Shen Chu's white forehead.

Then he got up and left.

Until Xie Ming left, Shen Chudao kept his eyes tightly closed, but after Xie Ming's figure completely disappeared from the courtyard, the eyelashes of the person who was originally sleeping soundly suddenly trembled, as if he had a nightmare.

But this situation did not last long. After Shen Chu's eyelashes trembled for a moment, her eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and she subconsciously called out the name that she thought could give her the most sense of security.

"Your Highness!"

Shen Chu sat up straight, leaned against the headboard and breathed heavily, not realizing for a moment that anything was wrong.

It was not until she found that her calls had not been responded to that she realized something belatedly.

Your Highness...where have you been?

Shen Chu slowly turned his head and saw the empty bed as expected.

There was no one else on the spacious bed except her.

The person who slept on the same bed with her disappeared without a trace.

Did Xie Ming go out by himself?

Where did he go?

Why can't you take her with you?

Still want to hide it from her?

There was a dense layer of cold sweat on Shen Chu's forehead. Just by looking at it, you could tell how terrifying the nightmare was for her.

She casually wiped the sweat from her forehead with an ugly expression.

Why do this?

Is there something that she can't know?

Do you have to go at night?

Shen Chu was just about to get up, but as soon as she stretched out her legs a little, an overwhelming sense of sleepiness swept over her and enveloped her completely!

It is no exaggeration to say that you can fall asleep as soon as you touch the pillow.

But Shen Chu didn't want to sleep at all now.

She didn't want to sleep at all. She was extremely awake, but her eyelids were heavy, forcing her to fall asleep immediately.

No!

She can't sleep!

Shen Chu sat up and stretched out both legs. The next step was to put on her shoes, but she had just finished halfway when she fell backwards!

His head hit the pillow heavily, and just before he lost consciousness, Shen Chu clenched his fists tightly.

There was only one thought in my mind.

That is - Xie Ming, you drugged me!

If it wasn't for the drugging, Shen Chu couldn't find any other suitable excuse to explain it.

After all, this is Xie Ming's territory, and the only dinner she had tonight was the one she had with Xie Ming.

They were clearly eating together, but now she was the only one lying on the bed. Coupled with Xie Ming's strange expression today, Shen Chu finally understood something.

But it's too late now.

Her head tilted and she fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep completely, Shen Chu was still gritting his teeth.

Xie Ming, just wait for me!

"It seems your medicine today is different from yesterday's."

Xie Ming was walking on the road, talking to Yun Shu.

Hearing Xie Ming bring up this topic, Yun Shu's expression froze, and after a moment he answered Xie Ming.

"Well...because the previous medicine was gone, I replaced it with a new one."

Xie Ming had just asked casually, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped and frowned slightly.

"What? What's wrong with the new one?"

Knowing that Xie Ming was worried about Shen Chu's comfort, Yun Shu still tightened her fingertips, her expression normal, "There's no harm, but the effect may not be as good as before."

"I'm not questioning you."

Xie Ming did not respond to Yun Shu's words immediately, but suddenly said this with no unusual expression on his face.

"Then you should go back earlier."

He doesn't have to.

With Yunshu covering for him, Xie Ming felt relieved.

"Okay, Your Highness."

Xie Ming's pace began to quicken, his eyes cold.

The reason why he said he would be back soon was simply because he thought he could resolve all of this quickly.

Maybe God was blessing him. Since he entered Yancheng, it has not rained for a single day in Yancheng.

This also provides greater convenience for his reconstruction work.

Because the number of people he brought was not enough, Xie Ming borrowed some people from other places.

But this group of people cannot be discovered casually.

So Xie Ming did so.

There will be a lot of people living in the city at night, and the things they can do in the city are relatively limited, but it doesn’t matter, there are many things to do outside the city at night.

After all, it is indeed much more convenient when there is no one around.

This is also one of the main reasons why Xie Ming chose to do things at night.

"Your Highness, the drainage ditches outside the city have been dug through. Do we need to bury the pipes now?"

The leader stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation to Xie Ming.

Hearing this, Xie Ming's expression eased a lot.

He nodded gently, "Well, you guys should rest for tonight. You may need to hurry up tomorrow."

Hearing him say this, the leading man was a little confused, "Why does Your Highness say that?"

Xie Ming looked at him, thinking of what he had said to Shen Chu not long ago, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, "Someone is in a hurry to leave Yancheng."

If this sentence was serious, the leading man would certainly not dare to say anything more.

But when he saw the smile on Xie Ming's face, he almost immediately understood what was going on and nodded rapidly, "Okay, mission accomplished!"

As he said this, the expression on his face was one of visible joy.

It is their honor to follow His Highness!

Just because there aren’t many things happening tonight doesn’t mean Xie Ming doesn’t have many things to do either.

Xie Ming originally wanted to go back to the villa, but after thinking about something, he gave up the idea.

Fortunately, he gave up this idea, otherwise Shen Chu really didn't know how to cause trouble for him the next day.

The next moment Shen Chu opened her eyes, she sneezed. As soon as she sneezed, she immediately changed her clothes and went to find Xie Ming.

As a result, when I opened the door, I ran into Yunshu who had just returned.

When Yun Shu saw her push open the door, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly hid the surprise, leaving only calmness.

He walked towards Shen Chu, and the expression on his face was very natural.

"Miss woke up a little early today."

Seeing that he was still pretending, Shen Chu didn't expose him and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, isn't it early? If it wasn't early, how could I have discovered that His Highness had actually left long ago."

There was melancholy and regret in her tone, and she looked quite respectable.

Yun Shu frowned, feeling something was wrong.

But he still covered for his highness.

"Miss, you're joking. His Highness just went out a while ago."

Shen Chu, who had long known Yun Shu would say this, snorted softly, "I got up in the middle of the night."
