A figure swayed behind the screen, and the sound of splashing water could be heard. Xihe mentally prepared herself several times but still couldn't find the courage to go in. It wasn't until Shaoheng grew impatient that she finally walked around the screen...
The water vapor was thick, and the young man lay on his back with his eyes closed by the pool. His muscles were clearly defined, and his mermaid line was hidden in the water.
Xihe quickly looked away, his face flushed. Baring his chest in front of outsiders, where is his male morality?
"What are you standing there for? Come here." Shao Heng lazily opened his eyelids, his red eyes fixed on her, the lines on his face still cold and hard.
Xihe grunted and refused to move. What was the point of his doing this... Suddenly, a chain of water suddenly hooked around her waist. Before she could scream, she fell into the water with a "splash".
She waved her arms wildly, grabbed the man and climbed up, lying in his arms and coughing hard.
"Ahem, you, what are you doing?!" She stared at him with tears in her eyes.
Shao Heng's eyes were deep. Xihe suddenly shut up, turned his face away awkwardly, and pushed the arm around his waist: "Let go." Instead of pushing it away, it tightened even more.
She felt uneasy, as she was powerless now... Shao Heng suddenly pushed her away.
"Rub my back."
she:? ? ?
A quarter of an hour later, Xihe stood behind Shaoheng, working hard to scrub the old dirt off his face. What ambiguity? What blushing and heartbeat? Damn it all, she was just a back scrubber now!
The skin under her palm was firm and contained strong explosive power, but at this moment it was like a docile tiger, closing its eyes and letting her rub and knead it into a round shape.
Seeing him close his eyes, Xihe gradually lost her focus and looked him up and down. His facial features were still as handsome as ever, his eyelashes were so long, his shoulders were broad, and his waist was so thin...
Shao Heng suddenly stood up, splashed into the pool, took a step forward, and stood on the shore.
Xihe stood there, holding the handkerchief.
Shaoheng left without looking back.
Xihe was suddenly confused. He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he gave up. He happily washed himself and changed his clothes. When he came out, Shaoheng was no longer in the hall.
Because she was brought into the palace by order of His Majesty, although her identity was not disclosed, everyone felt that she was extraordinary.
The steward carefully asked her what she wanted to eat, and ordered someone to bring up a large table of delicacies and spiritual wine. Xihe ate to her satisfaction, but just when she was halfway through, someone outside the door said that Mrs. Hua had arrived.
Mrs. Hua?
Before Xihe could react, a woman in red walked into the hall.
The woman was tall and incredibly beautiful. Her dark eyes swept over her and her expression suddenly darkened. "Who allowed you to be here? Get out."
Xihe: ...very good, very much her style, really beautiful and fierce.
She looked at the woman with great interest. She looked like her, really like her. If she didn't know her own affairs well, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if she stood in front of her.
No wonder Shaoheng retreated.
But she was still unhappy, very unhappy!
Or rather, from the moment she heard the news, she was so furious that she wanted to kill someone. He dared to replace her identity and run in front of Shao Heng openly. He was really tired of living.
Xihe smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked me to stay here. If you are unhappy, go find him."
The woman was furious: "I am your Majesty's wife, how dare you contradict me? Come, drag her out and beat her to death!"
The people around looked at each other, feeling extremely embarrassed. One was the person His Majesty was determined to get even if it meant making enemies with the world of immortal cultivation, and the other was brought into the palace by His Majesty's personal order, and they had been in the same bathroom together for an hour... They couldn't afford to offend either of them.
The woman's face grew darker, but Xihe was happy and stood up: "It's getting late, I'm going to rest, Madam, please do as you please."
He turned around and slowly walked into the back hall - that was the Lord's bedroom!
The woman was furious, swinging her sword and slashing out a rainbow of light: "Bitch, how dare you!" Xihe didn't expect her to actually dare to attack him. He couldn't help but reflect on herself. Did she give others the impression of being so impulsive, killing people without saying anything? Didn't she even teach her people properly before sending them here?
As the sword light approached, she raised her hand slightly, a sharp light appeared, and the sword broke into pieces.
The woman was horrified and looked at her in shock, then her face became uglier. The others blinked, they didn't expect that this unknown woman was so strong, and they didn't know where His Majesty got her from.
Just then, there was a noise at the door. Everyone turned around. The thick night was behind the man. His red eyes were deep, the pressure was irresistible, and the expression on his face was difficult to discern.
“Greetings, Your Majesty…” They all knelt down in unison.
The woman tried hard to control her expression and rushed over aggrievedly: "Shao Heng!"
Xihe stood still, looking at Shaoheng, and he was also looking at her.
“…”
She restrained her casualness and gradually became serious.
At this moment, she was certain that Shao Heng was very clear about her identity.
She didn't know what he was thinking before, but now, the things she had lied to him about, the ripped heart, the leaving without saying goodbye, the news of her death, and now she suddenly appeared before him, with the power to kill with a single wave of her hand...
Shaoheng moved, Xihe pursed her lips unconsciously and took a step back subconsciously.
The woman sensed something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed him: "Shao Heng, I..." Shao Heng paused and grabbed her neck. The woman's eyes widened, "Shao Heng, what are you doing? If you really like her, then, then I don't care."
Shao Heng finally looked at her: "Do you really think so?"
The woman nodded with difficulty, smiling awkwardly: "Yes, that's right."
"What a pity." With a snap and a twist, the woman fell to the ground without a sound.
Shao Heng casually waved his sleeves and said, "Throw it out to feed the dogs."
"Yes." The guards stepped forward and carried the person out of the hall. The steward, the maid, and others also retreated with their heads lowered. The hall suddenly became quiet.
Shaoheng walked steadily to Xihe and stopped.
