Chapter 57 He is clearly happy
Shen Yue felt her heart tremble and her breathing became disordered for a moment.
Xiao Yuheng? Didn't he go back to his room? Why is he here?
Seeing that she stopped moving, the man curled the corners of his lips slightly and then let her go.
"You can speak now."
His voice was extremely soft, even gentle, and Shen Yue couldn't help feeling a little guilty after hearing it.
She had been away from her post for several days. Shouldn't Xiao Yuheng be angry? Why didn't she hear anger in his tone, but instead heard a hint of happiness?
She turned around, raised her head, and spoke cautiously: "Xiao Yuheng..."
"The King is here."
"Aren't you going to...satisfy your craving?"
“…Shen Er!”
Xiao Yuheng was speechless. This brat Shen Er always knew what to say to provoke his anger.
But today he didn't want to get angry.
Originally, he came to Paradise Island just to save Yong'an, but he didn't expect Shen Er to be here too. This was a big surprise for him.
He was clearly happy to see Shen Er.
So, he didn't want to get angry at all.
Thinking of this, he softened his tone and said, "Change the question."
"Hmm." Shen Yue thought for a moment and asked, "Where is that girl from before?"
“…knocked unconscious.”
"Oh." Thinking of her malicious speculation just now, Shen Yue smiled embarrassedly, "When did you discover me?"
"When you eavesdrop, of course."
"So how many people did you bring today?"
"This king, Changfeng, the entire Second Division."
"So...will you guys hunt me down today?"
Hearing the word "hunt", a deep laugh escaped from the man's throat.
"Are you scared? Why would you leave if you were scared, huh?"
In the dim light, Shen Yue couldn't see his face clearly, but she knew that he had a beautiful smile.
"Who's afraid? I just don't want to kill each other with my brothers."
"I see." Xiao Yuheng raised an eyebrow and walked over to the candlestick to light the candle. "I won't kill you. At most, I'll give you a hundred or eighty strokes of the cane."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue subconsciously covered her butt.
A hundred or eighty...wouldn't she burst into pieces and bleed to death on the spot?
Noticing her reaction, Xiao Yuheng raised the corners of his mouth beautifully, and his phoenix eyes showed a hint of tenderness that he himself did not even notice.
It seems that I have to make Shen Er afraid of him. If he is afraid of him, he will not run around again.
He slowly came to Shen Yue, took out a green cloth bag from his arms and put it in her hand.
"Here, this is for you."
Shen Yue took the cloth bag puzzled and opened it, and inside were several well-protected chestnut cakes.
The piece of green grosgrain was square, with ruyi patterns embroidered on the edges with gold and silver threads. It was obviously the handkerchief that Xiao Yuheng carried with him.
Xiao Yuheng coughed uncomfortably. "I thought you might be hungry, so I got some food from the guest room. Oh, and this handkerchief is clean."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's long eyelashes trembled slightly: "Oh... thank you, thank you."
The fabric and workmanship of this robe are both top-notch, enough to buy her clothes for several years. I'm afraid only Xiao Yuheng would use it to wrap cakes.
"After you've thanked me, why don't you eat?" The man stared at her.
"Eat, I'll eat."
Shen Yue came back to her senses, picked up a piece of chestnut cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and her cheeks immediately puffed up.
"What should we do next?" she mumbled while chewing.
The man didn't respond. He just looked at her eating, shook his head and sighed.
Then he strode to the wall, reached out his hand and tapped it a few times.
Shen Yue leaned forward and asked, "Do you think there's a secret room back there?"
"I don't know, let's try."
Xiao Yuheng knocked while listening carefully. When he knocked on the third wall, he finally heard a "dong dong" sound coming from the other side of the wall.
"This wall is empty."
"Really?" Shen Yue showed surprise, quickly swallowed the last bite of chestnut cake, and quickly turned over all the items in the stone chamber one by one.
"The agency doesn't seem to be in this room."
"Yeah." Xiao Yuheng nodded. "Let's go and take a look across from the rockery. Maybe the entrance is over there."
"good."
Having made up their minds, the two prepared to leave, but before they had taken a few steps, Xiao Yuheng suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Wait, someone is coming."
Shen Yue looked around blankly and was about to say "No one is here" when Xiao Yuheng extinguished the candle at lightning speed and dragged her into the closet.
Then, there were light footsteps and laughter coming from a distance.
She couldn't help but breathe harder, "There really is someone here. Xiao Yuheng, your hearing is very good..."
"Shh~" The man behind her lowered his head and spoke in her ear.
A warm breath mixed with his ambergris came slowly, and Shen Yue's body suddenly stiffened for a moment.
This wardrobe was different from the ancient wardrobes that Shen Yue had in mind. It was about one person tall and had a lot of space, but there were a lot of clothes hanging inside, making a lot of noise. Two people were squeezed in there and it was very crowded.
She could barely stand inside, but Xiao Yuheng was tall and had a large frame, and the space was crowded, so he had to stand with his legs apart, slightly bent his knees, and slightly hunched his upper body.
At this moment, Shen Yue stood in front of him, feeling the warmth coming from her back, and her cheeks inevitably turned red.
The cabinet was pitch black, so the man naturally couldn't see her face, but from her tense body, he could sense that she was uncomfortable, so he tried his best to move back.
At this time, the two people in the secret passage had already come into the stone chamber, talking and laughing, and lit candles.
Through the tiny gap in the wardrobe, Shen Yue saw Ye Sanniang walking to the bed with a man's arm around her.
The man was wearing a mask and was one of the guests in the front hall just now. Shen Yue looked at him carefully and felt that he looked very familiar.
The two sat down beside the bed. Ye Sanniang stretched out her slender fingers to untie the man's mask and said delicately:
"General, why did you come here alone this time? Where is the Marquis?"
The mask slipped off, and the man's face came into view. It was Song Minzhi who broke into the palace last time to explain.
"Why, do you miss that old guy?"
"Oh, Minlang..."
Ye Sanniang rubbed her chest against Song Minzhi, her voice so soft that it seemed like she could squeeze water out of her:
"I have been managing your father and son's business on this godforsaken island for years. To avoid the servants, I even came to a place like this to meet you. I am so devoted to you, but I never thought you would speak of me like this. You are really annoying~~~~"
When Shen Yue in the cabinet heard this, she was stunned.
She thought Song Minzhi was just a guest at the banquet, but she didn't expect that all the business on Paradise Island belonged to their family!
In this case, it is easy to explain why the guards at the door look like soldiers - they are clearly the Black Hawk Army!
It would have been bad enough if the Song family father and son hadn't returned with their troops, but they also sent soldiers who were supposed to be defending their country to Paradise Island to cover up their dirty business. They are so shameless!
