While Yin Chengyu was thinking, he heard a message from outside saying that Xue Shu wanted to see him.

"Come in."

Yin Chengyu put away the handkerchief and looked at the person who walked in.

Xue Shu walked forward and looked at his arm wrapped in gauze: "Your Highness's hand..."

"It's okay." Yin Chengyu ordered Zheng Duobao to send the doctor out, put down his sleeves to cover the wound, and looked at Xue Shu carefully.

He originally thought that Xue Shu in this life was different from the previous life, but this handkerchief made him not think so.

This person has always been consistent and his preferences have never changed.

Xue Shu didn't understand and could only look back at him in confusion.

Yin Chengyu suddenly laughed and raised his chin towards him: "Come closer."

Xue Shu took two steps forward, and the distance between them was only one step.

At this time, Yin Chengyu was sitting on the couch, while Xue Shu was standing.

Yin Chengyu took out the bloodstained handkerchief from his sleeve, held it between two fingers and waved it in front of his eyes: "This handkerchief belongs to you, right? Where did you steal it from?"

Xue Shu glanced at the handkerchief, and he didn't look uncomfortable at all. He said confidently, "It wasn't stolen."

"If it wasn't stolen, how could my handkerchief be in your possession?" Yin Chengyu snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Could it have grown legs and run away?"

"I picked it up on the day I killed the fox demon."

Xue Shu lowered his eyes, but his gaze couldn't help but slowly sweep over the outstretched hand - that fair and beautiful hand was holding the handkerchief he had used.

The faint aroma of cold plum blossoms floated in his nose. Xue Shu clenched his hands in his sleeves impatiently, and his breathing became uncontrollably hot.

He looked away dodgingly, not daring to look at those hands any longer. Even the tips of his ears turned red due to his rising body temperature.

Yin Chengyu's eyes were fixed on him, observing him carefully, not missing any changes.

——It was the first time he saw Xue Shu being so guilty and evasive.

His eyes swept over the other's red ears again. Yin Chengyu was surprised at first, and then a little happy - as expected, he was still young and couldn't hide the emotions on his face. He asked a little more and he became confused.

This is more pleasing than the previous life.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, waved at Xue Shu, and ordered, "Bend down."

Xue Shu bent down as he was told, and the one step distance suddenly became half a step, and the two of them got closer.

In the dim light of the evening, Yin Chengyu's exquisite and extremely striking face was reflected directly into his eyes. In an instant, his eyes and heart could only accommodate that person. All worldly things were thrown behind his mind.

“Your Highness…”

He called out subconsciously, his voice was extremely low and hoarse, and his breathing became boiling. He looked like he had been thrown into boiling water and boiled, radiating heat and glowing red.

The beast that had been suppressed deep in my heart began to roar.

Yin Chengyu noticed his change, but he was not angry. He looked at Xue Shu carefully, raised his hand for a long time, and let his fingertips hover above his face, tracing his sharp eyebrows and eyes as if imitating, and then moved down along his side face, finally stopping at the protruding Adam's apple, and pressed down with a little force.

His movements were extremely slow, his slightly cool fingertips were about to fall, like a butterfly fluttering among flowers, or like a dragonfly skimming the water, light and soft, yet it aroused waves of shock in Xue Shu's eyes.

Xue Shu was extremely tense. He clenched his hands at his sides into fists, with veins popping out on the backs of his hands. Only then did he manage to suppress the roaring beast deep in his heart.

Yin Chengyu moved his fingers upwards again and pinched his chin with two fingers, forcing him to lower his head even lower. He admired his tense and restrained look and felt a long-lost pleasure.

No wonder Xue Shu always liked to torture people so gently in his previous life.

What he liked most was to light up all the lights in the room, making it bright and clear without a single shadow, and then admire his wolf under the bright lights... He felt ashamed and humiliated at that time, and he once questioned Xue Shu why he humiliated himself in this way.

Xue Shu always avoided answering, and only replied with a half-smile: "Your Highness can't just take care of yourself, you have to let us have some fun."

How can a eunuch who has lost his life be happy doing such a thing?

Yin Chengyu didn't understand at the time and thought he was just looking for an excuse to torment him.

But now, he seemed to vaguely understand what Xue Shu meant.

This feeling of controlling the other person's desire and making the other person's breathing disordered with just a random move... is really a pleasurable feeling.

At the moment when Xue Shu's eyes were filled with turmoil, Yin Chengyu slowly withdrew his hand, held the handkerchief in his palm and played with it, glancing at him with his upturned eyes: "What are you doing with my handkerchief?"

His voice was clear and cold, but to Xue Shu's ears, it sounded like countless hooks. The sharp hooks pierced into his heart, and the fine and dense silk threads woven into a dense net, tightly entangling his heart, causing a slight pain, but more of it was unbearable.

An unbearable itch.

Xue Shu's eyes were fixed on the handkerchief, and his wandering thoughts drifted back to that early morning filled with the faint fragrance of cold plum blossoms.

He used that handkerchief...

But now Yin Chengyu held the handkerchief in his hand without hesitation, and wrinkled it slightly with his slender white fingers, and even... lowered his head and sniffed it lightly.

Xue Shu's eyes suddenly showed a dark tide, and his teeth were clenched tightly due to extreme restraint. His voice sounded hoarse and broken, "Your Majesty, I did nothing."

Yin Chengyu was quick to notice his changes. His eyes swept across his dark eyes and his constantly moving Adam's apple... Finally, he stopped and slowly frowned, with a hint of displeasure of being offended: "Are you afraid that others don't know that you are a fake eunuch? Do you want to be dragged out to clean up your stubble?"

——The eunuchs in the Prince of Yan’s palace would have their bodies rechecked every year. If anyone was found to have re-erected, they would be taken for a second castration, also known as “brushing the stubble.”

Xue Shu said nothing, nor did he evade in shame. He just stood there, staring at him with a pair of eyes as dark as the tide.

I don’t know what dirty thoughts are going on in my mind.

Yin Chengyu immediately lost interest again and drove him away in disgust: "Get out, don't pollute my eyes."

Xue Shu remained motionless, staring at him closely, and spoke after a while: "Your Highness did not return the handkerchief to me."

Yin Chengyu was almost laughing at him. He was really a gangster. He had the nerve to ask for the things he had taken from him. Glancing at the handkerchief in his hand, Yin Chengyu threw it back to him in boredom: "Get out of here!"

Xue Shu took it, held it tightly in his hand, bowed to him again, and then walked out.

Yin Chengyu looked at his back and snorted. Then she remembered that he was so patient and still wanted to ask her for a handkerchief. Maybe he was going to do something dirty.

No, it’s possible that I have used it before.

Yin Chengyu's expression froze, and he recalled the rich scent of snow pine plum on the handkerchief, and his expression became completely gloomy.

The handkerchief has been lost for a long time, how can it still smell good?

He suddenly remembered that Xue Shu had asked him for two boxes of snow pine apricots a few days ago. He said that Xue Shu didn't like to play with these spices before, so why did he suddenly ask him for them? It was probably because of that dirty thing.

It's really a lineage of people who are extremely audacious.

Yin Chengyu called for water and washed his hands carefully. After thinking it over, he still felt unhappy, so he ordered Zheng Duobao to come in: "Please remember that Xue Shu's reward after returning to Beijing will be cancelled." After giving the order, he felt that this punishment was not painful for Xue Shu, so he added: "Go and ask someone to get another two taels of Coptis chinensis and boil it into water, and send it to Xue Shu. I think he is very angry and needs to be relieved!"

Two taels of Coptis chinensis!

No one knew how Xue Shu had displeased His Highness again. Seeing that he looked angry, Zheng Duobao did not dare to dare to plead for Xue Shu. After agreeing to his request, he quickly ordered people to get Coptis chinensis and boil water.

After a bowl of Coptis chinensis water was cooked, Zheng Duobao personally brought it and knocked on Xue Shu's door.

Xue Shu opened the door casually wearing a robe, still with a cool mist on his body: "Eunuch Zheng, what's the matter?"

Seeing that his face was not very good, Zheng Duobao sighed in his heart and said, "His Highness asked us to bring you some coptis water to reduce fever and clear fire..." Thinking of the bitter water made from the two taels of coptis, he didn't know how to smooth it over, so he could only persuade him tactfully, "His Highness is the most tolerant person. If you have made His Highness unhappy, just admit your mistakes honestly. His Highness will not hold it against you."

After saying this, he placed a bowl of Coptis chinensis water in front of him.

Xue Shu frowned, took it and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing that his sword-like eyebrows were twisted into knots, Zheng Duobao shook his head, took back the bowl and went to report to Yin Chengyu.

It was Xue Shu who went back to his room and drank a whole pot of cold tea, which relieved the bitter taste in his mouth.

Zheng Duobao was right. Coptis chinensis water can reduce heat and clear fire. After drinking a bowl of it, even the most irritable person will lose interest.

Xue Shu fell heavily on the bed and covered his eyes with his hands.

After a while, he got up and lit a pot of snow plum blossoms. The handkerchief he had asked for was washed by him and was hanging out to dry. He could only light incense as a solace.

Perhaps it was the teasing in the bedroom in the evening, or perhaps it was the scent of cold plums that filled the room that was too alluring.

Xue Shu had another long-awaited dream, and Yin Chengyu was still in his dream.

Under the bright lights, a life-size bronze mirror stood in the room, reflecting a blurry human figure.

Yin Chengyu was wearing only a black satin robe, the silk as smooth as water clinging to the curves of her body, outlining her beautiful lines. Under the deep black, her skin was as white as snow.

Xue Shu hugged the man from behind.

Yin Chengyu wanted to struggle, but he forced her to look into the mirror.

In the dim mirror, scarlet and dark black are intertwined.

He leaned over and kissed him, biting him like a wild animal.

…

It was only three o'clock in the morning when Xue Shu woke up in shock.

His chest rose and fell violently, and because of the beautiful dream, his breathing brought out an indescribable warmth.

He stood up and opened the window. Xue Shu stood in the cold wind of early spring for a long time before he managed to calm down. But he couldn't fall asleep again. He stared at the cold moon in the sky for a long time, and then he went out to the prison where the prisoners were held.

The beast in his body was still roaring excitedly, and dark thoughts surged up like a tide, occupying his mind.

He had to do something.

Murder, or something else.

The author has something to say:

Gougou: They only care about flirting but not burying the dead. The after-sales service is terrible.

Your Highness:?
