Birds on the edge of the abyss 38
Chu Xin covered his mouth and nose and walked in. Halfway through, he suddenly stepped on a soft object. He squatted down and looked inside. It was Tingzhu.
Chu Xin checked his breath and found that he had just died and his body was still warm. Tingzhu was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and a smile on his face, as if he had just had a beautiful dream and was extremely happy.
Chu Xin looked at the corpse with a complicated expression and continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, a faint cough was heard from the inner room, and Chu Xin's heart gradually sank, because the voice was none other than Bu Nan's.

Chu Xin watched Bu Nan quickly run out holding the unconscious Lan Huan. Bu Nan was slightly stunned when he saw Chu Xin. After they retreated outside, Bu Nan first took out a pill from his arms and fed it to Lan Huan. Then he knelt on the ground with a thud and whispered:
"Your Highness, Mr. Shen was abducted. It was my fault. Please punish me."
Chu Xin took a deep breath and glanced at the bushes beside him. Several shadow guards jumped out from them. They all shook their heads. Chu Xin frowned and kicked Bu Nan to the ground.
"I didn't know that my brother was so bold that he dared to openly rob important officials of the court..." Chu Xin lifted her hair, revealing a pair of sharp golden eyes, and said viciously
"Prepare the horses and go to the royal city"
At this time, Shen Luli was lying unconscious on the soft bed. There was a lot of expensive incense burning in the room. The strong fragrance made the people in the room smell a lot of it.
Prince Jing embraced the beautiful concubine in his arms and kissed her. He squinted his eyes and looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground and staring at Shen Luli's face.
"You really make me sick."
Shen Changle stared at Shen Luli's sleeping face without blinking and smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."
"Oh, I'm not praising you." Chu Xiao grinned, chewing the grapes fed by his concubine, and made a sound of "tsk".
"This man is still useful to me. You don't need to play tricks on me. Just do your job well."
"How could Chongguang be so petty with you, Your Highness? My brother is right before my eyes. Chongguang will not do anything that would hinder Your Highness's plans. I only hope that after the matter is accomplished, Your Highness will fulfill Chongguang's wish and make my brother completely yours."
Shen Changle held Shen Luli's hand and kissed it gently, smiling and said
After not seeing him for a few days, Shen Changle has completely changed. He is now like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed, and also like a vicious dog ready to bite at any time... But as long as I hold the reins and strangle his throat, even the most vicious hawk dog will only work obediently under my command.
Chu Xiao's thoughts turned rapidly. He glanced at Shen Luli lying on the bed as if nothing had happened and laughed.
"Hahaha, how difficult is that? When I ascend the throne, I will grant you all your wishes, no matter what they are!"
"Chongguang is waiting for you to say this, Your Majesty." Shen Changle stood up, tucked the corner of the quilt for Shen Luli, and stood up and said
At this moment, the eunuch on duty outside the door pushed open the door and walked in, saying tremblingly, "Your Highness, there's news from the city gate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming this way..."
Chu Xiao and Shen Changle looked at each other, Chu Xiao turned around and told the palace servants to prepare to welcome him. He stood up, pushed away his concubine, straightened his messy clothes and said
"You came so quickly! I thought the prince would come tomorrow." He walked slowly to the silent Shen Changle, tilted his head and said in his ear mockingly.
"It seems that my guess was correct. Your brother is having an affair with the crown prince! Hahahahahaha"
Chu Xiao glanced at Shen Changle's clenched fist, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then he patted Shen Changle's shoulder and said, "Then I'll see your performance later, my good ally!"
After Prince Jing left, Shen Changle raised his head. He spread out his hands, looked at his blood-stained palms, lowered his head and licked them. Then he walked to Shen Luli, supported his arm on the side of Shen Luli's head, and used his other hand to lift his collar.
As expected, he saw a deep red mark on Shen Luli's neck, extending downward to an unknown place...
Shen Changle bit his lips hard, biting off a small piece of flesh. Blood flowed down the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the blood stone worn on Shen Luli's neck. Seeing the next drop about to fall, Shen Changle raised his hand to catch it, and gently stroked Shen Luli's face with his other bloodless hand.
"Brother, even Chongguang couldn't bear to let you be stained, yet you allowed others to defile you. You are truly guilty and deserve death!"
Shen Changle rubbed the mark heavily, looking at the red neck and Shen Luli's frown in pain, his expression was calm.
"Once this is over, Chongguang will take you on a leisurely journey, okay?"
Shen Changle's eyes gradually became scarlet and passionate, obsessed and crazy. He held the fragile and slender neck of his subordinate, looked up at the sky outside, and yearned for it.
[Ding, Chen Changle's favorability +5, current favorability 85]
Shen Changle didn't pinch the neck with his own hands. He couldn't bear to see Shen Luli injured, nor did he want Shen Luli to show that disgusted look when he woke up and saw him.
After Shen Changle had left for a long time, Shen Luli slowly woke up from the nightmare, gasping for breath in fear, his hands and feet trembling.
In the dream, there was still an empty island, an empty sky, an empty ocean, silence, desolation, and ruin. The desolate feeling almost crushed Shen Luli's spirit. Fortunately, he woke up from the dream in time, otherwise he would have to go through that unbearable time again, and he would have had a mental breakdown and committed suicide.
After having a good rest, Shen Luli looked around and suddenly frowned. The decoration here was not as simple as the official residence where he had stayed before. It seemed too luxurious and exquisite. The things on the table could only be found in the palace. How could ordinary officials have such things in their homes?
Moreover, the incense in this room is too strong and choking.
Shen Luli coughed violently several times, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, but still couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable.
At this moment, a palace maid walked in from outside. She bowed before saying in a gentle voice, "The prince has ordered that you be brought to the front hall to wait when you wake up. Please come in!"
Shen Luli frowned and said, "Who is your prince? Why am I here? I remember I should be staying in another mansion."
"The prince is the second prince of Chu State. Now the queen is named Prince Jing. Please follow me!" The palace maid said evasively, and then hurriedly urged without saying more.
There was no other way. Shen Luli had already understood that he was probably kidnapped, but he didn't know why Prince Jing had kidnapped him. Now that he was forced to go, it was probably not a good thing. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. He was now alone and powerless, so he could only listen to these people's orders.
