Chapter 37: What happened next seemed to be a natural progression...

What happened next seemed to be a natural progression. They did something extremely intimate, but they didn't go to the final step in the end. It was just that Xiao Wangshu was concerned about the injuries on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's body. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dissatisfied, he was so tired that he fell asleep. What else could he do? He couldn't force the other party, so what fun would that be?

However, he would not give up easily. This matter required a natural outcome, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been busy looking for opportunities to make this happen these days.

"Ashu!"

It seemed that His Highness had never laughed so happily as he had in the past two lifetimes.

"Your Highness."

He responded with a smile.

"Ashu, I found a great place outside the city. Would you like to go with me?"

Grabbing Xiao Wangshu's sleeve, Xie Xuanhui then hugged Xiao Wangshu's waist, but was ruthlessly knocked away by Xiao Wangshu the next second. Xie Xuanhui was not angry, but just grabbed Xiao Wangshu's sleeve as a second choice.

"nature."

This time Xiao Wangshu agreed with a smile.

When the sun set and Xiao Wangshu finished his work, he realized that he had not seen His Highness for the whole afternoon. Just as he was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, a servant led him to the back door of the county government office.

He saw a carriage parked there at some point, and when he approached, he heard a sound coming from the carriage.

"Sir, I am honored to be here."

The voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of unconscious allure, and as soon as Xiao Wangshu heard it, he knew that it was his prince in the carriage.

Without much hesitation, Xiao Wangshu lifted the curtain, but he did not expect to see such a beautiful scene. The beauty was dressed in white, with her long black hair like a waterfall tied with only a green jade hairpin. The key point was that the white dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, and her movements revealed a glimpse of spring.

Xiao Wangshu's expression was not very good now. He silently took off his shawl and wrapped the prince tightly. Xie Xuanhui naturally refused and instead felt that Xiao Wangshu was unromantic. It was not until he was held in his arms and heard Xiao Wangshu asking him very unhappily who changed his clothes that he realized that Xiao Wangshu was jealous.

"No, I changed it myself." Xie Xuanhui said this, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can I let others see me like this?"

He twisted Xiao Wangshu's clothes and couldn't help asking:

"Ashu, do you like it?"

Holding the man tightly in his arms, Xiao Wangshu buried his face in Xie Xuanhui and couldn't help biting the other's neck.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled even more happily.

The two of them stayed together for a while, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lazily and contentedly called out to the outside of the carriage. Not long after, the carriage swayed and drove towards the outskirts of the city.

When the moon was high in the sky, they arrived at their destination, a manor on the outskirts of the city. The manor was originally owned by General Wang, but now it has fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In addition to its beautiful scenery, this manor also has a wonderful place, the hot spring behind the house, which is also the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will "open the gifts" that he has prepared for a long time.

The place is filled with mist, cicadas chirping and birds singing. Once you get through the thick mist, you'll find a spring of sweet water. Its clear and sweet fragrance will make you linger.

The water rippled, spreading out layer by layer until it finally settled into a calm. Xie Xuanhui lazily leaned against the smooth stone wall beside the pool, not wanting to move a finger. Xiao Wangshu held him in his arms, and the two of them snuggled together, gazing up at the starry sky. The mountains in the distance were inky black, and the Milky Way hung low, seemingly within reach.

"Ah Shu," Xie Xuanhui's voice was hoarse and vague afterward. "If I weren't the crown prince, and you weren't a subject, but just an ordinary commoner in the mountains... would you still be willing to be with me?"

Perhaps it was because the night was too quiet, or perhaps it was because my body and mind were relaxed, but the deep-seated uneasiness quietly surfaced.

Xiao Wangshu's fingers ran through the slightly damp hair behind his ear, his movements gentle, but his tone serious and focused: "Your Highness, there are no ifs. You are the crown prince of Zhongshan State, and I,

He paused, "I will be the sharpest sword in your hand, the strongest shield, and the most...loyal subject."

He lowered his head, resting his forehead lightly against Xie Xuanhui's: "Your Highness, I owe you my life. With this cause and effect, we are destined to be entangled together for generations to come."

Having chosen this path, he was ready to face any storm. What if he was condemned by thousands? What if he was forever infamous? He didn't care. He cared only for the person in his arms, and he was willing to offer him the best in the world. This was what he owed him, and he gladly accepted it, willing to repay it with his life.

But, His Highness, you must be well behaved and live a long life.

"Your Highness." He suddenly called again.

Xie Xuanhui, resting with his eyes closed, lazily raised his eyelids, only to see Xiao Wangshu's kiss falling again. He naturally moved forward, and as their lips and teeth intertwined, a slightly cool and slippery pill was passed into his mouth. Before he could react, he was forced to swallow it by the blocked lips and tongue.

After the kiss, Xie Xuanhui put his arms around Xiao Wangshu's neck and sat on his lap, with a blush still lingering in the corners of his eyes. He asked nonchalantly:

"What is that?"

"Same fate Gu."

It's like a huge rock falling into a pool of water, causing huge waves.

"What!"

Almost instantly, the color drained away from Xie Xuanhui's face, and Xiao Wangshu seemed to have anticipated this. He just smiled with a hint of doting and understanding.

"Your Highness really knew about the poisoning a long time ago."

"You're messing around!"

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and scratch his throat, but Xiao Wangshu restrained his hands. He did not explain or dissuade him, but simply said:

"Your Highness, are you really willing to let me go? If you leave, I will find seven or eight beautiful concubines and two or three concubines. I will be so happy that I will forget about Your Highness. Is your Highness willing?"

"You dare!"

His anger suddenly rose several feet high, and Xie Xuanhui wanted to tie this man up with a chain so that no one could have a chance to have sex with his Ah Shu.

"In this case, Your Highness must live well."

If he could live, why would Xie Xuanhui not want to live? He has not seen Ah Shu's old appearance, and has not done all the beautiful things in the world with Ah Shu.

"What is the use of this fate-sharing Gu? Does it have any effect on you?"

"If it's the same fate Gu, then naturally they live and die together. If one person dies first, the other can use this Gu to find the medicine to revive them."

Holding the person in his arms, Xiao Wangshu carefully combed the prince's hair.

"really!"

Hearing him say this, Xie Xuanhui felt a lot more relieved.

"Of course I take it seriously."

“That’s a good thing.”

After returning from the hot spring that day, Xiao Wangshu went to find Mr. Chihua early the next morning.

"Mr. Wangshu has a favor to ask! I hope you will grant my request."

"But the matter of the same fate Gu?"

After not seeing him for a few days, Mr. Chihua's white hair seemed to have become even whiter, with a faint glow, giving him a somewhat eerie feeling.

"Sir knows things like a god!"

"Alas, one or two, anger and stupidity."

Chihua raised his whisk and sighed sincerely.

"Sir, Your Highness is indispensable to the Kingdom of Zhongshan. Didn't you say that Your Highness is the Man of Heaven's Will? If so, I'm sure you will help me. Wangshu kneels here to thank you."

After saying that, he knelt down, but Chihua dodged to the side while speaking.

"Hey, please don't harm me. It's true that Your Highness is the man of destiny, and I will help you."

Seeing Xiao Wangshu's relieved expression, Chihua's eyes flashed with deep pity and helplessness, and he swallowed back the words he hadn't finished.

Young Master Xiao, oh Young Master Xiao, you only know that he is destined by heaven, but do you know that you too have a stellar destiny? This time you defy heaven and change your fate, forcing the continuation of cause and effect. Can you possibly endure the bitter backlash in the future?

Never mind, the secrets of heaven must not be revealed. He had dedicated half his life to the common people of this world, and now this "small matter" was nothing to worry about. He only hoped that these two could truly break free from their fate and have a chance of survival.

"Thank you, sir!" Xiao Wangshu bowed again, a huge weight lifted from his heart. If sir were willing to help, His Highness's life would be more secure. As for the rest, he would take care of it himself.
