At night, everything is silent.

The floating clouds blocked the pouring moonlight, and the entire Shen Mansion fell into darkness.

A black figure crossed the high wall of the Shen Mansion and headed towards Shen Qionghua's house with ease.

Just as he was about to enter the yard, another figure blocked the black figure's way. Just as he was about to take action, he was suddenly startled when he saw the black figure's face.

After hesitating for a while, he finally retreated.

The black figure did not stop for long, but climbed straight through the window and into the house.

There was only a candlelight left in the warm and elegant boudoir. As the windows opened and closed, a few wisps of summer breeze slipped in along the corners of the clothes and brushed across the wick.

The flames jumped several times, making slight crackling sounds.

The black figure slowly approached, the candlelight shining on his handsome face, flickering, with an indescribable sense of depth.

Inside the room, Shaoyao, who was sleeping on the floor not far from Shen Qionghua's bed and keeping watch at night, seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.

It seems like he is fighting with Guan Gong and is about to wake up at any time.

Xie Nanyuan glanced coldly at Shaoyao, who was sleeping on the floor in neat clothes, and took out the spices he had brought with him and lit them.

The wisps of incense smoke dissipated in the air. After a while, Shaoyao, who seemed to be about to wake up just now, tilted her head and fell into an even deeper sleep.

Xie Nanyuan walked past Shaoyao and went straight to the bed quickly, but stopped suddenly when his hand was about to touch the curtain.

He took a deep breath, pursed his thin lips, stretched out a finger and gently lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing the beautiful woman sleeping soundly inside.

Shen Qionghua was wearing a light pink thin dress, her three thousand black hair spread on the side of the pillow, and she was covered with an ice silk quilt. Her forearms were exposed outside and she was grabbing the sheets. Her little face was rosy when she was sleeping, and her breathing was regular, which showed that she was sleeping soundly.

He doesn't look sick at all, he is clearly in good health.

Xie Nanyuan had never seen Shen Qionghua like this. His eyes darkened and he couldn't help but move closer and sit on the edge of the bed. Then... he stretched out his bony fingers and placed them on Shen Qionghua's fair and plump forehead.

After a while, he opened his thin lips and sneered, "Oh, you are pretending to be sick."

Although Xie Nanyuan was 90% sure that Shen Qionghua was pretending to be sick, he always thought what if she was really sick. Now that it was confirmed, he felt confused.

If Shen Qionghua was really sick, it meant that he had frightened her and she was afraid of himself.

But if you pretend to be sick, it means you are not only afraid of him, but also avoiding him and treating him as a monster.

Whether Shen Qionghua was really sick or pretending to be sick, it was not good news for Xie Nanyuan.

Xie Nanyuan thought back to the past. It seemed like he hadn't done anything excessive to her, right?

Why did the two of them become good friends after Huo Jing proposed to her and was rejected, but she avoided him?

Is he not as important as Huo Jing in her heart?

This realization made Xie Nanyuan grit his teeth secretly. He turned around and saw Shen Qionghua sleeping soundly, leaving him here to worry.

He was suddenly filled with anger and stretched out his big hands to Shen Qionghua's red cheeks when she was sleeping, and rubbed them hard. When the sleeping little guy frowned and started to struggle, he let go.

After the breathing becomes stable, he starts to ravage again, and repeats this process.

At first, I had a desire for revenge, but later I felt that the touch of my hand was very good and I couldn't bear to let go.

Just like that, Shen Qionghua felt a sharp pain on his face while he was sleeping. He wanted to wake up, but he couldn't. He could only passively endure it...

Finally, the sky brightened and Shen Qionghua opened her eyes with a haggard look on her face. The first thing she did was to sit in front of the bronze mirror and look at her face.

"Peony!"

"Hey, Miss!" Shaoyao hurried forward, "What do you want, Miss?"

Shen Qionghua turned her head and pointed at her face, saying, "Peony, do you think my face is swollen?"

Upon hearing this, Shaoyao hurriedly observed carefully and saw that her young lady had a rosy complexion and looked very healthy.

"Miss, your face isn't swollen, it's just a little redder than usual."

is it?

Shen Qionghua turned her head and looked at herself in the bronze mirror suspiciously.

If there is no swelling, why does my face hurt a little?

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Shaoyao said her face was a little rosier than usual. Shen Qionghua hurriedly picked up the pearl powder on the dressing table and put it on her face.

Thick pearl powder was spread on her face, even on her lips, turning Shen Qionghua's face, which looked like a peach blossom in March, into a pale and sickly look.

After dressing up, Shen Qionghua looked at her pale face in the bronze mirror and slowly smiled with satisfaction.

This is what a seriously ill person looks like.

After Shen Qionghua finished the breakfast brought by Shaoyao, she lay back on the bed and started coughing.

There was no other way. The secret guards of the An Yi Palace were still in the mansion, so we had to put on a full show.

Shen Qionghua had no idea that her little trick had been exposed. She fell into another comfortable nap with her pale face.

Shen Qionghua went back to sleep. Lin Ze, who had been guarding the study in Prince Rui's Mansion all night, also looked haggard, but he forced himself not to close his eyes.

It wasn't until he heard steady footsteps approaching, and the next moment, the study door was opened and Xie Nanyuan's figure appeared at the door that Lin Ze could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But the anger was only half relieved, and the other half was still being held up.

Yesterday, the prince left the house in the middle of the night to go to the Shen Mansion, and he felt something was not right.

The prince used to be jealous, so he would go to the Shen Mansion in the early morning when Miss Shen was still asleep, which was quite proper.

Now it had suddenly changed to the middle of the night, and Miss Shen must have fallen asleep by then. The prince chose this time, and at this sensitive juncture, and he didn't allow him to follow...

How could he not think of something wrong?

Lin Ze always felt that Xie Nanyuan was angry and wanted to force himself on him. The chaotic scene lasted in Lin Ze's mind for the whole night.

Just when he was thinking about giving his prince some advice after Xie Nanyuan came back, it turned out that Xie Nanyuan took an unusually long time to go to the Shen Mansion. Lin Ze waited from dusk till dawn, and became more and more frightened as he waited.

In the past, Linze still dared to guarantee the character of his own prince, but now... hehe!

He was even capable of rummaging through a woman's bedroom in the middle of the night, so Lin Ze wouldn't find anything strange about Xie Nanyuan.

But no matter how much he guessed, Linze was still afraid that his prince would cause irreversible consequences due to his impulsiveness.

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, did everything go well for you last night?"

Xie Nanyuan, who had been rubbing his face all night, was in an unexpectedly good mood at the moment and hummed lightly.

Lin Ze pondered Xie Nanyuan's tone, thinking that the matter might not be as serious as he thought, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ze naturally wanted to care about his future mistress and asked, "How is Miss Shen's health?"

Xie Nanyuan snorted coldly upon hearing this, but the corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably, "She's sleeping so soundly, like a little pig."

Lin Ze listened to these words and saw that his prince's mouth corners were raised and he couldn't hide it, and he was dumbfounded.

no……

What does this mean?

The prince stayed at the Shen residence all night, but he was in a good mood. Miss Shen was sleeping soundly...

Is this really what he thinks?!
