After everyone had eaten and rested enough, it was time to set off on their journey.
The surviving guards were packing up their things. Yan Xi was afraid they would get thirsty on the way. Seeing that everyone was busy, he felt embarrassed to ask them to go to the nearby stream to fetch him some water, so he prepared to go himself. However, Li Yancheng stopped him, saying, "You are injured and shouldn't move around too much. I'll go, you just stay here."
Yan Xi opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but Li Yancheng strode away without giving him a chance to speak.
The corners of Yan Xi's mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to sit down obediently.
Mingzhu, who was busy at work, noticed that he was alone, so he took advantage of the opportunity and hurried over to whisper, "Young Master."
"Hmm?" Yan Xi looked up at him inquiringly, "What's wrong?"
"It's...that..." Mingzhu hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.
Yan Xi smiled encouragingly, "It's okay, go ahead."
Mingzhu glanced around and found that everyone was busy and had no time to pay attention to this side. His nervous guard relaxed, "Master, I discovered a secret. The prince... seems to like you."
Yan Xi was slightly stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "Oh."
There was no shock or panic as expected. Mingzhu was stunned and said anxiously, "Master, why aren't you worried? He's the prince. What if he takes you by force? You have no way to deal with it."
Yan Xi looked at him with amusement, "Ming Zhu, there's no need to be so alarmed. The prince shouldn't be that kind of person."
This time it was Mingzhu who was stunned. "So, Master, you already knew that the prince liked you?"
Yan Xi nodded and said with a smile, "Well, don't worry, the prince is an upright person and would not do such a ridiculous thing. Besides, I am now an official appointed by the court, not a prostitute. He won't do anything to me."
"But I always feel that the young master should be more careful." Although he had also heard of King Xiaoyao's character, he was not sure how upright a member of the royal family could be.
What's more, he didn't believe that King Xiaoyao could survive in the palace despite being in such a difficult situation without some planning.
The young master usually studies and practices martial arts, and has no idea how cruel the intrigues among the servants in the He Mansion are.
The small He Mansion was already so dark, let alone the imperial palace.
Yan Xi looked at the person who was worried about him and smiled slightly, "Okay, I will pay more attention."
Upon hearing this, Mingzhu felt a little relieved, but he was still very worried, so much so that when they set off, he insisted on riding in the same carriage with Yan Xi and Li Yancheng.
The carriage was moving smoothly, and Mingzhu, sitting on the side, was always staring at Li Yancheng intentionally or unintentionally.
As a martial artist, Li Yancheng had sharp senses and was a little uncomfortable with his furtive glances, but he didn't say anything because of Yan Xi.
On the other hand, the carefree Yan Xi was made drowsy by the shaking of the carriage and fell asleep leaning against it.
Seeing this, Li Yancheng narrowed his eyes, decisively sat down next to him, stretched out his long arm, and put his head on his shoulder.
Mingzhu, who witnessed the whole process, widened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please let me..." Come on.
Before he could finish his words, he met Li Yancheng's cold and terrifying gaze. He felt a chill down his spine and immediately shut up in fear.
The carriage was so quiet that only the sound of wheels outside could be heard.
Li Yancheng lowered his head and looked at the sleeping person, his thin lips slightly curved, and his eyes, which were as cold as ice just now, were now filled with deep doting.
Mingzhu looked at this and felt a chill in his heart. It was all over. It seemed that King Xiaoyao had fallen deeply in love with his young master.
The previous moment, he was still worried about his young master, and the next moment, he felt unwell.
The reason was simple, it was just that Yan Xi in her dream seemed to be dissatisfied with her uncomfortable sleep, she frowned, and began to feel restless, groping around Li Yancheng in a daze, touching his waist, hugging him tightly, and kept shifting her body, trying to get into Li Yancheng's arms, until she was completely nestled in his arms, then she rubbed her lips with satisfaction on his chest, smacked her lips, slightly curled her lips, and continued to sleep.
Li Yancheng was very indulgent of his behavior, even smiling and hugging him tighter.
Mingzhu stared at the "little bird-like" Yan Xi, his head buzzing, and his mind was full of the scene of Yan Xi taking the initiative to crawl into Li Yancheng's arms and being extremely dependent on him.
This, this... Is this how the young master acts in front of King Xiaoyao?! His young master is quite well behaved when he sleeps, he wouldn't be like this...
Could it be that his young master also likes King Xiaoyao?!
Mingzhu was stunned and panicked.
Oh my God, what is going on? The young master is secretly engaged to Miss Hong Leng, while at the same time he is being intimate with King Xiaoyao. This relationship is too messy!
I never thought that the normally self-disciplined young master would be this kind of person. What will happen to Miss Hong Leng and the baby in her belly?!
Mingzhu was suddenly devastated and didn't know how to face his young master for a moment.
But he secretly made up his mind to keep his mouth shut, otherwise he would be killed to silence him. No matter what, his life was more important.
Li Yancheng stared at the young man in his arms, completely unaware that Mingzhu's heart was in turmoil.
He had always known that Yan Xi was handsome, but today he felt that he was even more handsome than before.
His skin is delicate and smooth, as white as snow. His facial features are not particularly stunning when taken individually, but when put together on this face, one can never forget them at first sight. It seems that there is no one in the world who is more handsome than him.
Also, his waist is very thin and soft, which makes it very comfortable to hug him.
Thinking of the shameful dream he had before, Li Yancheng's Adam's apple moved slightly, his eyes were full of understanding, and he instantly felt that the person in his arms was a little hot.
