Chapter 620

Yunxi wanted to say no.

But Shen Rang didn't give her a chance to refuse. As soon as he finished speaking, he picked her up and went out to eat.

The weather isn't too hot right now, so the Huo family is all eating together. It's a lively and cheerful family gathering.

After the meal, as if afraid she would run away, Shen Rang accompanied her back to Shanshui Residence, holding her hand tightly the whole way, not letting go for a moment.

As soon as the door closed, the man grabbed the back of her neck with one hand and kissed her impatiently.

Yunxi was kissed so hard she was out of her mind and had no strength left. He easily led her to the bed.

It wasn't until his robe was open that Yunxi realized what was happening, and she raised her hand to support herself on his chest: "Don't you scholars have a lot of rules? It's broad daylight now."

A soft laugh reached my ears.

Immediately afterwards, her hands were restrained by the man and raised above her head.

"That's right. It seems we can only apologize to the sage when we get back."

Although a long time has passed, Shen Rang is still familiar with her.

The bed in the room swayed slightly, and in the end, Yunxi didn't even know if she had fallen asleep or passed out.

In short, when I opened my eyes again, the sunlight outside was no longer glaring, but had a warm, reddish hue.

It felt like something had run over my body; even moving a finger was difficult.

However, he was very clean, obviously having been carefully tidied up.

The person who caused all of this was lying beside her, a smile playing on his lips in his phoenix eyes.

Meeting Yunxi's resentful gaze, Shen Rang's smile deepened: "It was my fault, I won't do it again next time."

Yunxi gave a soft snort.

I hope there will be a next time.

It's impossible.

Yunxi was very hungry, but fortunately it was mealtime and the servants had already prepared the food, just waiting for Yunxi to go out and eat.

The two sat down at the table again.

Shen Rang told her about what happened in the palace that day.

Nowadays, Yunxi no longer gets sleepy when listening to court affairs as she did before.

"When I returned from the Duke of Qin's mansion a couple of days ago, my sister-in-law said that the Crown Prince was probably going to get into trouble. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

“The Chen family has been prominent for generations, and my sister-in-law grew up in such an environment, so she is naturally sensitive to matters of the court,” Shen Rang said.

"What will happen to the Crown Prince if this matter is verified?"

Shen Rang said, "This matter has already blown up. If it is true, there is probably only one way to appease public opinion."

"What method?"

"The deposed crown prince."

Yunxi's eyes widened slightly.

"However, it's hard to say. That person has been able to sit firmly in the position of Crown Prince for so many years. He must have his own methods. If he can push out a scapegoat before the matter is investigated, it's not impossible."

Yunxi found it outrageous: "Such a serious crime as arson is not something that just anyone can commit, is it?"

“Smart,” Shen Rang said with a slight smile. “If the Crown Prince wants to keep his position, he has no choice but to make a tough decision. However, Yun Wan has been acting very high-profile in Luoyang recently, and it’s hard to say whether anyone is willing to step forward.”

Although Yun Wan was not officially recognized by the Crown Prince, everyone knew that she was his daughter.

The Crown Prince was deeply in love with the Crown Princess, and naturally, he also doted on her daughter as if she were the apple of his eye.

Logically speaking, the subordinates should be just as happy as their master to have found his long-lost daughter, but the master's temperament is well-known.

Besides temperament, there is another thing.

Even after Yun Wan's true identity was revealed to everyone, she was still divorced by the Marquis of Changping's household, but the Crown Prince said nothing.

It is clear that Yun Wan has indeed made a mistake, and a big one at that, so big that even the Crown Prince is speechless.

How can someone with such character be a ruler?

While they, as subjects, were expected to be loyal, they also had to consider whether their masters were worthy of their loyalty, since each of them had a large family to support.

With masters of this character, how can they believe that their families will be properly taken care of after their death?
