As the two were talking, they left Tingyu Tower and ran into Xiao Heye, who was just about to come and pick her up, when they reached the entrance of Yelan Pavilion.

"The Palm Seal!" Upon seeing him, Su Tiyue smiled sweetly on her delicate face, her voice also sweet and charming.

Perhaps she had been drinking and was slightly tipsy. When she looked at Xiao Heye with her clear eyes, she seemed languid and listless.

Upon seeing Xiao Heye, Xiao Anzi immediately lowered his head and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master Xiao."

Xiao Heye ignored Xiao Anzi, his eyes were only on Su Tiyue, but when he lowered his eyes slightly, he saw Su Tiyue's fingers resting on Xiao Anzi's arm.

In the palace, it was common for servants to help their masters, let alone Su Tiyue tonight, who would probably not even be able to walk steadily without someone supporting her.

However, Xiao Heye was still secretly displeased when he saw this scene.

He frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, grabbed her wrist and held it in his hand, his tone slightly reproachful: "Why did you drink so much?"

"Hmm... because I'm happy." Su Tiyue, pulled by him, softly nestled into Xiao Heye's arms. She gently stroked Xiao Heye's nose with her other hand. "If Zhang Yin could have a few drinks with me, that would be even better..."

"Don't come over again if you're this drunk next time. We don't want to serve a drunken empress." The deep voice reached Xiao Anzi and Su Tiyue's ears. Although it was an unpleasant remark, the air was filled with an atmosphere of doting affection and ambiguity.

Su Tiyue slowly shook her head, then reached out to cover his mouth and whispered, "I'm really not drunk. Um... I wasn't drunk just now, I only got drunk after seeing the Palm Seal. Palm Seal Xiao, haven't you ever heard a saying?"

"It's not the wine that intoxicates, it's the person who gets drunk..."

She spoke slower than usual, her pronunciation was unclear, and her eyelids were heavy, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Tsk, with her low alcohol tolerance, she actually wants Xiao Heye to drink with her?

It seems he's really drunk this time, quite drunk, because he's started talking nonsense.

Xiao Heye had no way to deal with her and was too lazy to argue with her, so he bent down, picked up her small body, and strode into the bedroom.

Xiao Anzi followed for a while, and when they were almost at the door of the room, Xiao Heye did not turn around. He simply stopped, turned his head slightly, and coldly said to Xiao Anzi, "Wait here."

Xiao Anzi nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Heye opened the door to the room with one hand, and carrying the person in his arms, he walked straight behind the screen.

Only after the door in front of him was closed did Xiao Anzi slowly raise his head and stare at it without moving.

Aside from seeing the flickering candlelight inside, Xiao Anzi couldn't see or hear anything, but he still stood silently in place waiting.

In fact, most normal people can guess what will happen inside; it doesn't require much imagination.

Xiao Anzi's expression remained as calm and composed as ever from the moment he entered the room until now.

However, for a fleeting moment, under the cover of darkness, a strange emotion flashed across his eyes.

Perhaps it's disappointment, or perhaps something else...

Who knows?

Xiao Heye carried her into the house and placed her on the bed. Without a word, he lowered his head and began to untie the pink silk sash tied around her waist…

What are you doing...?

Su Tiyue frowned, clutching her chest with both hands as if guarding against a thief: "Is Zhang Yin planning to do something to me while I'm drunk?"

"Tsk, you reek of alcohol... Even if I really wanted to do something to you, I would have to wash you clean first."

"Oh." It turned out she'd been overthinking it; Xiao Heye had undressed her to help her bathe. "Will the Master himself help me bathe?"

Xiao Heye lifted his eyelids and glanced at her: "As long as I'm here, when have I not personally served Yue'er during her bath?"

Su Tiyue couldn't deny it: "That's true."

A moment later, she frowned and said, "Oh no! No... Xiao Anzi is still waiting for you outside."

"Then let him wait." Seeing that she was still covering her chest with her hands, Xiao Heye reached out and pulled her fingers as he spoke.

Then he grabbed Su Tiyue's fingers, put them in his mouth and chewed them carefully, from the thumb to the little finger, as if he couldn't bear to let any of them go...

"Why don't we let Xiao Anzi go back first? We can talk about anything you need to say tomorrow."

She realized that having people waiting outside all the time wasn't a good solution. "Xiao Anzi is from my Tingyu Tower, you can't bully her... Ah!"

Before "he" could even finish speaking, he let out a scream.

Xiao Heye was annoyed by her constant chatter about "Xiao Anzi" ever since he entered the room, so he deliberately bit her hard, hurting her.

After biting her soft, white fingertips, Xiao Heye grabbed those fingers and rubbed them against his face, then casually asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Anzi?"

His voice wasn't particularly special, but his tone was definitely not one to be trifled with.

Those cold, dark eyes stared at her like a sharp sword, extremely intimidating and lethal.

Su Tiyue swallowed hard and said timidly, "No...it's nothing, just let him wait."

"Hmm." Finally hearing a satisfactory answer, Xiao Heye solemnly helped her take off her clothes, then carried her to the bathroom.

When Xiao Heye came out of the room again, it was already half an hour later.

She had been tormented for a long time, and because she had been drinking, she fell into a deep sleep not long after Xiao Heye left.

He gently closed the door, glanced at Xiao Anzi standing outside the door, and then walked silently toward the small pavilion in the courtyard.

Xiao Anzi was good at reading people's expressions. He followed Xiao Heye with his head down and also came to the pavilion.
