Warm water was poured into the bathtub, and everyone quickly withdrew.
Xie Yizhi walked to the bedside, pulled back the quilt, and said in a gentle voice, "You've been busy all night, and Luo Luo must be tired too. Go and wash up first. I'll sleep on the low couch tonight, and you can sleep on the bed."
Jiang Luoluo nodded, half-asleep. It was already late at night, and her mind was a little hazy. She started to feel sleepy as soon as she lay down.
She took off her clothes, enjoyed a relaxing hot bath, changed into her nightgown, and walked out with light steps.

Jiang Luoluo followed her gaze and looked down, only to find several faint red marks on her neck.
She paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Dingdang, what are you thinking? This was just something the prince pinched last night."
Dingdang blinked, then hesitated, "Your Highness...didn't you have anything to do last night?"
