Birds on the edge of the abyss 28
The big hand gently caressed the white jade-like face. The scorching heat made Chu Xin's heart tremble. He lowered his head to look at the delicate beauty lying unconscious on the table.

The person opposite whimpered, his lips, stained red by the wine, were moist and crimson, and were now slightly opening and closing. Chu Xin suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, and picked up the wine glass as if nothing had happened and took a swig.
After a while, the wine jug was empty. Seeing Shen Luli shivering from the cold, and curled up unconsciously, Chu Xin called for someone to come in. When Bu Nan opened the heavy curtain and walked in, the cold wind from the outside was blown in a little. Chu Xin subconsciously looked at Shen Luli again, and saw that the beautiful peony-like lips had turned pale.
"Your Highness, do you want to help Master Shen go back to rest?" Bu Nan closed the curtain and came to Chu Xin. He looked at his own prince staring at Shen Luli in a trance and couldn't help but said
"Ha... Let's send him to the dormitory where he lived before!" Chu Xin held the wine glass and sighed at the empty bottom of the glass.
"Yes, Your Highness," Bu Nan nodded, and came to Shen Luli lightly, stretching out a pair of big hands to pull Shen Luli's arm. Chu Xin looked up at his rude action and frowned instantly. He raised his hand to stop Bu Nan's behavior and instructed him to send away all the idlers outside. Then he rubbed his painful forehead and walked to Shen Luli's side.
When they were close, they could even smell the light fragrance emanating from the other person. Chu Xin rolled up Shen Luli's wide sleeves and looked at the smooth and delicate arm buried inside. Sure enough, there was a purple mark on the thin forearm.
"This is really a delicate body..." Chu Xin muttered, and suddenly wanted to wipe off this annoying mark. It was a pity that all the medicine in his palace was given to Shen Changle. It would take at least a month to make a new ointment. While thinking about this, he stretched out his hand to hook the thin waist of this person.
With a gentle hook, without any effort, the man was brought into his arms. Looking at the man who was completely asleep on his chest, Chu Xin couldn't help laughing. His big hand slowly moved up along his thin waist, gradually reaching his armpit, and the other hand passed under his knees, and easily picked him up.
Chu Xin shook the other person and adjusted his posture. He looked at the man's head, which was rotating clockwise from bottom to top and then falling sideways in his arms. His hair cascaded down and connected with his hair. His delicate eyebrows and eyes looked even more fragile and lovely in the dim light. Chu Xin was so breathless that he took a deep breath for a long time before suppressing the desire in his heart.

At this time, Bu Nan walked in. When he saw Chu Xin holding Shen Luli, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, all the palace servants and guards outside have been dismissed."
Chu Xin noticed Bu Nan's eyes, and his heart moved. He looked at the person who buried his face in his arms and chuckled, "Give me the fox fur."
Bu Nan had no choice but to do as he was told. After handing it over, he watched Chu Xin drape it over Shen Luli, wrapping the person tightly like a big rice dumpling. He didn't know what the person wrapped in it felt like, or whether he would feel suffocated.
Bu Nan: ...
Chu Xin strode out with the person in his arms, heading towards the side hall. There were few people along the way, and only a few guards knelt down and saluted Chu Xin from a distance, with their heads down the whole time, without even noticing that Chu Xin was holding a person in his arms.
I walked all the way to the bedroom and saw Le Luo standing outside the door from a distance, smiling and standing with his hands in his pockets.
Chu Xin walked up with the person in his arms, and seeing Le Luo coming forward to pay his respects, he squinted his eyes and said, "Le Luo, I've never seen you care so much for me before."
"Your Highness, you are joking. Doesn't the entire East Palace exist for your Highness? As the chief steward, Le Luo naturally gives top priority to your Highness." Le Luo pushed it back without a trace, then turned his head to look at Shen Luli who was wrapped tightly.
"Come in quickly, Your Highness. I have already sent someone to clean up the mess."
Chu Xin pulled the corner of his mouth, and only breathed a sigh of relief after putting Shen Luli on the bed. He turned around and looked at the warmly decorated dormitory and nodded with satisfaction. He turned his head to Le Luo, who was looking at him with burning eyes, and said in silence:
"I'm leaving now, what are you looking at me with?"
"Oh, I thought His Highness was staying overnight," Le Luo said, covering her mouth in surprise. Whenever Chu Xin treated a man like this, especially one with outstanding looks, she would inevitably make the same connection, without fail. But now...
Chu Xin's face darkened immediately as he asked, "Who do you think I am? A hungry wolf that pounces on anyone it sees?"
"Haha, Your Highness, you are joking," Le Luo said quickly, and then immediately expelled him. "It's getting late, Your Highness, please go back to your bedroom and rest."
Chu Xin was so angry when he saw her fake smile. He took another step forward to look at Shen Luli's appearance. Seeing that she was still sleeping very soundly, with a rosy and warm face, he turned and left.
After watching the people leave, Le Luo went out and called the palace servants to help Shen Luli undress and wash. He sent someone to stew a hangover soup in the small kitchen and served it to Shen Luli after he woke up.
Before leaving, he looked at Shen Luli who was sleeping in the soft quilt in her underwear, smiled and pulled down the curtain to cover her.
The next day, Shen Luli sat at the table with a red face and had a meal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was on a rare day off. He looked at Chu Xin's handsome face and apologized.
"Yesterday was all my fault. I was drunk and passed out in front of Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will punish me for my dereliction of duty."
Chu Xin was in a very bad mood when he heard this man scolding and apologizing early in the morning. He lowered his head and saw the man's black hair, and he couldn't see his expression. He was immediately displeased.
"It's okay. This is a reward I insisted on giving you. So what if you're drunk? Get up quickly."
Seeing that Chu Xin had spoken, Shen Luli had no choice but to stand up and sit down, drinking the light white porridge in silence. The atmosphere was extremely cold.
Just as Shen Luli was hesitating whether to speak, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of him, with a crystal clear bun on it. The bun was placed on a small plate next to Shen Luli. Shen Luli looked up along the chopsticks and saw Chu Xin calmly retracting his chopsticks.
"Eat, I see you're only focused on drinking the porridge, and you didn't even think to pick up some extra food for you. The food in the palace should be much better than what you get at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Don't miss this opportunity to taste it."
Chu Xin said gently and politely
Shen Luli pursed his lips, feeling a little strange in his heart, and quickly thanked him and put it in his mouth.
The smooth and chewy dough bursts in your mouth, and then the surging gravy rushes into your mouth.
