Chapter 14 Shen Ruoli, what are you touching?!
Shen Ruoli pretended not to notice the changes in Xie Xuanyin's body.
She hugged him tightly, letting out a satisfied yet greedy sigh—she'd finally hugged him! After so long since her rebirth, she'd finally hugged this man! It hadn't been easy!
"Huh? What's wrong, Your Highness?"
She touched Xie Xuanyin's pectoral muscles.
Xie Xuanyin assumed she had discovered something and hurriedly slapped her hand away, "Chen Ruoli! What are you touching!"
"Why is Your Highness even hotter than me? Has Your Highness also caught a cold?"
Regardless of the consequences, Shen Ruoli continued to grope his chest.
Xie Xuanyin was furious and tried to push her away, but she was like an octopus that he couldn't shake off!
"Is Your Highness very hot?"
Shen Ruoli understands his temperament and knows his body very well!
Xie Xuanyin may look like an iceberg, but he's actually quick to ignite!
He was strong and vigorous, and incredibly passionate in bed, almost always leaving her unable to get out of bed the next day!
At this point, she knew what Xie Xuanyin was up to, but she still fearlessly continued to set the fire.
"If Your Highness feels too hot, why don't you take off your clothes?"
Shen Ruoli whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.
Who could stand this?!
Xie Xuanyin hated her, but he was also a man, a man who had once been almost obsessed with Shen Ruoli!
So he grabbed her restless hand, flipped her over, and pinned her down.
Even though the room was pitch black, he could still see Shen Ruoli's bright eyes.
She was laughing, and she was gambling.
As long as Xie Xuanyin doesn't reject her getting close, there's still a possibility between them!
It's not too late to start all over again!
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Shen Ruoli slowly wrapped her arms around Xie Xuanyin's neck and pulled him down a little, bringing the two of them closer together.
I thought Xie Xuanyin would lose control.
But Shen Ruoli still underestimated him.
"Shen Ruoli, do you intend to transmit your illness to me?"
Xie Xuanyin pulled her hand away, turned over and got out of bed. "I'm not sleepy, you should go to sleep."
Without waiting for Shen Ruoli's reply, he opened the door and went out.
Hearing the door close, Shen Ruoli couldn't help but feel a little deflated.
That scoundrel is so composed!
However, since she had wronged him first, she couldn't pursue Xie Xuanyin too closely, otherwise it might backfire.
Now that she had decided to start all over again, she had to be patient and give Xie Xuanyin time to trust her again!
Before this, no matter how he treated her, she deserved it.
Shen Ruoli lowered her eyes, concealing the disappointment within.
...
The East Courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, I heard it clearly just now. The Crown Princess was very proactive, and the Crown Prince was very close to her! The two seemed very affectionate, and it didn't seem fake."
The guard lowered his head and answered cautiously.
"oh?"
Xie Yuanxun was somewhat surprised, "Really?"
"This servant would not dare to deceive Your Highness."
"So it seems that the King of Chu truly never spoke a word of truth."
Xie Yuanxun stood up with a cold smile.
He glanced at the letter beside him, and his expression suddenly turned extremely grim.
"You bastard! How dare you use me as a pawn!"
Xie Yuanxun tore the letter to shreds!
"Your Highness, perhaps there is a misunderstanding?"
The guard hesitated, then said, "After all, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess do seem somewhat estranged, as if they are not on good terms."
"If they weren't harmonious, why would they share a bed? And you heard it with your own ears, they were very affectionate! They might put on an act in front of others, but behind closed doors, that's when they're truly themselves!"
Xie Yuanxun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Xie Xuanyin has grown up so fast!
He was moving so fast that he couldn't even read what the other person was thinking!
"Xie Xuansong, that bastard!"
Xie Yuanxun was still furious and scolded in a low voice, "Why did Shen Ruoli have to come to Tianzhao Temple to pray for blessings! She and the Crown Prince were both injured this time, and my brother will definitely blame me!"
He got angrier and angrier, and in his anger, he kicked over the chair in front of him!
The guard shuddered in fright and hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, please calm down! Perhaps the Prince of Chu is just thinking that since Tianzhao Mountain is under Your Highness's jurisdiction, he wants Your Highness to have the advantage of proximity!"
After all, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were injured, and if Xie Yuanxun arrived early, it would be a timely help!
"Nonsense! Didn't you hear the Crown Prince say that Xie Xuansong is still living at Tianzhao Temple?"
That bastard, he's really got a clever scheme going on!
He used the bandits of Tianzhao Mountain to try to eliminate the crown prince.
Even if Xie Xuanyin doesn't die, Shen Ruoli can still gain Xie Xuanyin's trust.
Since both the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were injured, if the Emperor and Empress wanted to hold someone accountable, it would be Xie Yuanxun's poor management that allowed the bandits of Tianzhao Mountain to run rampant and harm the Crown Prince and Crown Princess!
Xie Xuansong got all the benefits, but he was made to take the blame?
"He wants both the position of Crown Prince and the chance to get rid of me! I underestimated him; I never imagined his ambitions were so great!"
Xie Yuanxun was so angry he gritted his teeth!
The guards standing nearby didn't dare to utter a sound.
"Have you found that maid?"
Xie Yuanxun turned his head, his gaze dark and gloomy.
Xie Xuansong dared to make trouble in front of him, so as his elder, he naturally had to teach him a lesson!
Although he and Xie Xuansong were both princes.
But there is also a distinction between the king and the queen!
"Your Highness, we have found traces of someone falling off the cliff and the search is ongoing! We should be able to find the maid by tomorrow."
"Okay. Speed things up."
Xie Yuanxun pondered for a moment, "Also, keep a close eye on the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
He immediately returned to his desk and began writing a memorial to the throne.
The guard responded, then mustered his courage and asked, "Your Highness, are you really going to impeach the Prince of Chu?"
"Do I really need to personally intervene in his case?"
Xie Yuanxun didn't even look up. "Your Majesty must already know about the Crown Prince's injury. If I take the initiative to admit my mistake before Your Majesty holds me accountable, Your Majesty will definitely consider our brotherly bond and won't do anything to me."
He knew Xie Yuanhe's personality all too well.
As long as he humbles himself and shows loyalty, Xie Yuanhe will not really pursue the matter; at most, he will only give him a few verbal reprimands.
"And immediately send more men to suppress the bandits!"
Xie Yuanxun suddenly looked up and gazed meaningfully at the guard.
The guards knew all too well the meaning of "bandit suppression"!
"Yes, Your Highness is wise! This servant will take care of it immediately!"
He quickly accepted the order and left.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Apart from Shen Ruoli, who fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion from the long journey and catching a chill, Xie Xuanyin and the others barely slept a wink all night!
Early the next morning.
Xie Yuanxun had just reached the door when he heard Xie Xuanyin instructing someone to fetch a doctor.
He assumed it was to have the doctor change his and Shen Ruoli's dressings, so he quickly ordered the guards behind him to fetch the doctor.
"Why is Yin'er up so early?"
As she spoke, seeing that Xie Xuanyin's hair was wet, she quickly took a handkerchief to wring it dry for him herself, "It's so cold, and you're injured, why did you take a bath?"
Xie Xuanyin looked somewhat unnatural.
He couldn't very well tell Xie Yuanxun that he had taken a cold bath all night...
"Uncle, I will do it myself."
Xie Xuanyin dried his hair. "Uncle, is there something you need so early?"
Xie Yuanxun then took a step back. "Yes, Your Majesty, I have come to inform you that your maidservant... has been found!"
