Xie Nanyuan's fingers were slightly curled up, and his expression was gloomy.

He saw Shen Qionghua with her head down, several steps away from him, as if he were a monster. His heart suddenly sank, as if being torn back and forth by a pair of big hands.

There was only one strong thought in his mind: he must not let her misunderstand him.

Thinking of this, Xie Nanyuan spoke, his voice indescribably hoarse.

"It's not what you think."

The slow voice reached Shen Qionghua's ears. After a long time, she nodded like a chicken licking rice.

Then he raised his head, the fear on his face gone, and said softly, "I know."

Her reaction just now was just subconscious. After she calmed down and realized that the person under her was Queen Rui, she immediately knew that she had misunderstood.

If she had spent the night with any other man, something might have happened, but if this man was Prince Rui, then absolutely nothing would have happened.

After all, this guy has never been interested in women.

She was extremely confident in him.

Does she know?

Xie Nanyuan felt relieved, thinking that Shen Qionghua believed in his character.

Thinking of how much she trusted him, Xie Nanyuan's expression moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

But even if she believed in herself, Xie Nanyuan still felt that he needed to explain.

He coughed lightly and said, "You fell asleep last night and developed a fever. You kept saying you were cold. I... I carried you to the fire, but it was no use."

"You keep complaining about being cold, and your hands are restless and trying to lift up your clothes."

"I can only hug you, but maybe because of the fever you keep getting into my arms."

“That’s why this scene happened this morning.”

With every word he spoke, Shen Qionghua lowered her head a little, so she didn't see Xie Nanyuan's slightly red ears and his drifting and evasive eyes.

After Xie Nanyuan finished speaking, Shen Qionghua just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She actually did this to King Rui!

He actually snuggled into someone's arms!

And the next day he thought that King Rui had done something out of line to him!

God!

Shen Qionghua bit her lips hard to suppress the scream that was already on the tip of her tongue.

She did not doubt the truthfulness of what Xie Nanyuan said. After all, what he said was very convincing, and she herself had some vague memories of it.

What’s more important is that King Rui has no need to lie to himself!

How dare he misunderstand King Rui after all that happened? Judging from the way he handled things in his previous life, he was already very magnanimous not to chop off his own head with a sword the moment she tried to get into his arms.

Thinking of this, Shen Qionghua looked up at Xie Nanyuan fearfully. Seeing that he didn't look angry, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her funny and cute reaction, Xie Nanyuan smiled and felt inexplicably relieved.

Shen Qionghua rubbed her fingers together, suppressing her embarrassment as she spoke, "Yesterday...sorry for bothering Your Highness yesterday."

"No problem." Xie Nanyuan said.

Shen Qionghua's eyes wandered around, and suddenly fixed on Xie Nanyuan's chest.

"This is……"

She clearly remembered that Prince Rui was not injured in these places last night, so where did these scratches come from?

It's quite deep and bloody, which is quite scary.

Could it be that it was too dark last night and she didn't notice?

Shen Qionghua thought so and asked.

Xie Nanyuan raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to hide the curve of his mouth, and said quietly: "Miss Shen, why don't you take a look at your hands?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qionghua raised her hand and saw traces of blood still remaining on the inside of her nails stained with Dankou.

Shen Qionghua: “!”

She stared at her hands in disbelief, her eyes wide.

Could it be that she was the one who injured Prince Rui like this?

Just as she was about to ask for confirmation, she saw King Rui nodded expressionlessly.

Shen Qionghua clenched her teeth and immediately put on a flattering smile on her face. She touched her waist but couldn't find it. She glanced at the belt on her black clothes and immediately squatted down to pick it up.

"Why don't I help the prince apply the medicine?" Don't bother with me.

Xie Nanyuan nodded with a stern face, his lowered eyelids hiding the joy in his eyes.

He sat down.

Shen Qionghua could only squat down and apply medicine to him.

The two of them were very close to each other, and Shen Qionghua's shallow breath sprayed on her bronze skin, bringing a slight itch, and pink quietly climbed up to the tip of her ear.

Xie Nanyuan suddenly felt a little regretful about agreeing to let her help apply the medicine.

"All right."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qionghua finally finished bandaging the wound and slowly let out a breath.

Xie Nanyuan immediately stood up, forced himself to remain calm, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.

At the same time, Shen Qionghua also adjusted her disguise.

After the two of them finished tidying up, Shen Qionghua bit her red lips lightly, smiled at Xie Nanyuan, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will absolutely not tell anyone about what happened last night. I will completely forget it."

"Oh, no, I've forgotten everything."

"I will strictly control myself in the future. Things like what happened last night will never happen again. I will never bother the prince." Shen Qionghua said in a firm voice, almost raising her hand to swear.

She secretly clapped herself in her heart.

Now, Prince Rui won't hold a grudge against me anymore, right?

She secretly looked up, only to see Xie Nanyuan looking at her expressionlessly, his thin lips tightly pursed, and a pair of dark eyes full of ink.

Are you angry again?

Shen Qionghua's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that Xie Nanyuan's anger was inexplicable.

She's like this now, why is he still angry?

Could it be that he was angry at himself for not raising his hand to swear?

So is it too late for her to swear now?

Shen Qionghua was about to add something when she saw Xie Nanyuan take a long step, walk around her, and stride out.

Shen Qionghua was stunned and hurried to catch up.

Lin Ze heard the footsteps and turned around with a smile on his face, but when he saw Xie Nanyuan with a gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat.

This, this, this...what's wrong with this?

Wasn't it fine just now?

Why are you angry again?

"Your Highness..." Before Lin Ze could finish his words, Xie Nanyuan passed him and headed towards the palace.

Seeing this, Ji Bei rarely spoke.

"My lord, what's going on?"

Lin Ze asked anxiously, "How should I know?"

Didn’t you go in just now?

Ji Bei didn't ask, but Lin Ze strangely understood the meaning in his eyes.

He rolled his eyes at Ji Bei.

He is a human being, not a worm. How can he guess what the prince is thinking?

Lin Ze frowned. Ji Bei asked him to leave quickly, but he said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The future mistress hasn't come out yet!

No rules!

At this moment, Shen Qionghua came out, and Linze immediately stepped forward and said attentively:

"Miss Shen, you have worked hard. I will escort you back to the palace!"

Shen Qionghua looked at Linze in some confusion, and followed them back to the palace.
