Chapter 134 Could it be that Lord Shen is a woman?

He really slept with a man!

This thought struck Pei Yuan like a bolt from the blue, making him shudder.

He tried to deny it, but his mind was surprisingly clear.

If the person he was intimate with wasn't Shen Chu, and it was just a few touches, how did Shen Chu's purse end up on the bed?

If the person he was intimate with was not Shen Chu, why would Shen Chu use his own maid as a cover?

If the person he was intimate with wasn't Shen Chu, why didn't Shen Chu dare to swear there was a third person in the room?

All the questions were answered in all of this.

There were no women in the darkroom, only him and Shen Chu.

The third prince drugged him, intending to take advantage of him, but after escaping, he unexpectedly ended up having sex with Shen Chu...

This damn love potion actually made him do the thing he hated most: homosexuality.

Pei Yuan's heart was filled with turbulent emotions, and for a moment he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

He wandered outside for a long time, and the more he wandered, the more restless he became. His heart was burning like fire, and he almost lost his mind.

He couldn't even tell whether he was angry at the person he hated most, or at Shen Chu for lying and concealing the truth.

He couldn't resist in the end and pushed open the door to the darkroom.

The room was quiet.

His leg, which had been carrying him in a fit of rage, suddenly stopped.

Shen Chu fell asleep while lying on the small table.

Yes, she's asleep!

While he was filled with turmoil, frustration, anger, and self-loathing, Shen Chu, the instigator, slept soundly.

It smelled so sweet that it made my mouth water.

Pei Yuan clenched his fist, feeling his anger reach its peak at that moment.

He strode forward, intending to wake Shen Chu, but stopped abruptly just as his hand was about to touch Shen Chu's shoulder.

What should he say if he wakes Chen Chu up?

He said: I already know, the person I'm intimate with is you?

Or is it: I will take responsibility for you? But how can he take responsibility for a man?

Or to put it another way: Shen Chu, you shameless thing, how dare you lay your hands on me when I was under the influence of aphrodisiac?

His gaze unconsciously drifted over Shen Chu's butterfly-like, slightly curled eyelashes, her high, delicate nose, and her lips as red as a begonia. A strange thought suddenly rushed into his mind.

With Shen Chu's face, it's really hard to say who will be with whom.

The thought arose, and Pei Yuan turned his face away somewhat awkwardly, feeling the inexplicable fire in his heart burn even brighter.

What is he thinking about?

He rubbed his face hard and was about to leave when Chen Chu woke up.

She stretched and yawned, only to find Pei Yuan looking at her with a displeased expression.

"Oh? Your Highness is back. I haven't finished drawing yet."

She recently started experiencing excessive sleepiness, and unexpectedly, she fell asleep while drawing.

Thinking he was annoyed that she was drawing too slowly, she quickly tried to get up to explain, "I was so sleepy just now, I... ouch!"

Xiao Ji was too short, and her arms were sore and numb from sleeping on her stomach. When she got up, she found that her legs were also numb and she couldn't feel them.

She stumbled, lost her balance, and fell forward.

"careful."

Pei Yuan instinctively reached out and put his arm around her waist.

Shen Chu fell straight into his arms.

The familiar scent of wisteria wafted over, and the slender, soft waist beneath his palm sent a shiver down Pei Yuan's spine, as if he had been electrocuted. He pushed Shen Chu away abruptly.

Chen Chu's legs were still sore and numb. He pushed her back two steps and sat down on the chair next to the small table.

I almost strained my back.

She rubbed her slightly numb lower back, frowning and accusingly asking, "Why did Your Highness push me?"

Pei Yuan unconsciously rubbed his hands behind his back, as if the warmth of Shen Chu's waist still lingered on them.

His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously, and he sneered, "This prince has no penchant for hugging men. I was just helping you up; who would have thought you'd throw yourself into my arms?"

This is completely fabricated; who threw themselves at her?

Shen Chu pouted, "Your Highness is overthinking it. This humble subject has no intention of throwing myself into your arms."

I was just taking a short nap when my legs went numb, and I lost my balance for a moment.

"I only asked you to draw a portrait, and you fell asleep while drawing? Are you a pig?"

Shen Chu said in a serious tone, "This humble subject would like to be a happy pig that eats its fill and sleeps soundly. Really, sometimes pigs are much happier than people."

"Ha, a pig's destiny is either on the dinner table or in someone else's stomach."

Chen Chu...

This guy went out for a stroll, and he's acting like he's been set off by a firecracker. Every word he says is more outrageous than the last.

Not wanting to stray from the topic, she quickly picked up the portrait on the table. "Your Highness, please wait a moment. The portrait will be finished in just a few strokes."

Pei Yuan's gaze fell on the paper in his hand, and seeing a woman with beautiful features drawn on it, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

What a scammer!

The person that night was clearly him, yet he could still draw blindly with his eyes open, and actually drew a woman for him.

If he really believed it and went to look for the person in the portrait, he probably would never find them in his lifetime.

Pei Yuan snorted coldly, "This prince has urgent business to attend to. You can send it over whenever you're done drawing."

He wanted to see how long this guy could keep up the act.

Pei Yuan turned and left.

Shen Chu blinked. Oh no, she hadn't discussed the Ice Flower Hibiscus Jade Pendant with Pei Yuan yet.

She hurriedly chased after him, but Pei Yuan was nowhere to be seen outside.

------

Pei Yuan rode his horse at breakneck speed back to the Sixth Prince's residence, where he drank alone in his study.

After downing two jars of wine, Jinbao finally returned from Jingguo Temple, panting heavily.

"Oh, Your Highness, why did you return without waiting for me? I walked for more than an hour before I finally managed to hitch a ride."

Jinbao dragged his heavy steps into the house and was immediately stunned by the strong smell of alcohol.

He leaned closer to Sun Yan and whispered, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Weren't you going to test Lord Shen?"

Why are you drinking alone? Could it be...?

Sun Yan stood at the doorway, sword in hand, gazing at the sky. "His Highness said he slept with Lord Shen."

"Is it really Lord Shen? My goodness."

Jinbao exclaimed in surprise, spinning around excitedly, "What did I tell you?"

My intuition is spot on. I've known for a long time that it was Lord Shen, but you all wouldn't listen to me. One minute you're investigating some noblewoman, the next you're investigating some woman from the south of the city.

"Ugh, what a waste of time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuan's sinister voice rang out from behind him, "This prince slept with a man and became a homosexual. Are you happy about that?"

Jinbao felt a chill run down his spine, instantly remembering that his prince detested homosexuality the most.

I really don't know what I was so happy about just now.

Jinbao chuckled, "This servant wouldn't dare. Your Highness only got into that kind of thing with Lord Shen because the Third Prince drugged you. It was all an accident. Your Highness is not gay."

Pei Yuan stared at him with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

Jinbao's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Huh? Do men bleed the first time too?"

Pei Yuan frowned. "What?"

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? We left the bedsheets from that night in the dark room. There was blood on them. Do men bleed the first time too?"

Pei Yuan's face darkened further. "Do you think I, the prince, would understand this?"

Jinbao shrank back. "That's not what I meant."

Pei Yuan grew impatient. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Jinbao leaned forward, his eyes sparkling. "Your Highness, let's broaden our thinking. Is it possible that Lord Shen is actually a woman?"

Pei Yuan suddenly sat up straight.
