Chapter 737 Bed Bang (4)
When Shen Miao returned to the house, it was already dark. Guyu lit the oil lamp for her. Jingzhe saw that Shen Miao was in a bad mood today and did not dare to stay in the house to disturb her. He pulled Guyu downstairs and closed the door, leaving Shen Miao alone in the room.
She combed her hair irritably, but there seemed to be an inexplicable anger in her chest that wouldn't go away. Thinking about what Xie Jingxing had questioned her in the palace today, she couldn't help but feel more annoyed and aggrieved. What did her own affairs have to do with Xie Jingxing? Was Xie Jingxing trying to interfere in her life?
But as the marriage progressed, with various forces intervening and Xie Jingxing getting involved, she was becoming increasingly helpless.
Thinking about what Pei Lang had said, Shen Miao couldn't help but smile, but it was a rather sad smile. What woman wouldn't want to marry a man they both love and grow old together? It was just that in her previous life, she had seen the ups and downs of life. Ultimately, the so-called love between her and Fu Xiuyi was nothing more than her own wishful thinking. She had never truly experienced what it was like to be in love. But she knew that once you fall in love, your thoughts are no longer your own. She didn't want to foolishly hand over her life's happiness to someone else as she had in her previous life. Now was good enough. Controlling your heart from the beginning was much easier than giving it away and then taking it back.
But I just don't feel comfortable in my heart.
She sat under the lamp for a while, actually not thinking about anything. After a while, she blew out the lamp with a "puff" and climbed onto the couch to sleep.

The wind and snow in Prince Rui's Mansion are particularly strong today.
A group of guards stood trembling in the wind. Even the white tiger that had grown into a small and strong one was thrown outside the bedroom to stand as punishment. Today, Prince Rui was displeased with everyone. Everyone in Prince Rui's mansion was punished, inside and out. Even Ji Yushu and Gao Yang were locked up in the tower cell.
What kind of place is the Tower Prison? It holds the most vicious criminals, and to deal with them, torture is necessary. As the most brutal place in the Mo Yu Army, there are at least 49 kinds of torture there, if not 81 kinds. Many men of strong character who go to guard the Tower Prison come out screaming and howling after just a few days. The first time Tie Yi went in, he came out and recuperated in bed for a long time, vomiting everything he ate for a month.
Ji Yushu and Gao Yang, two young masters whose tender and delicate bodies looked so beautiful, were put into the tower prison to face the wall... The guards of Prince Rui's mansion secretly shed tears of sympathy for these two.
Nightingale quietly poked Nanqi's arm and asked, "What's wrong with the master? Who offended him?"
Nan Qi made a "hush" sound, and when he saw that there was no movement in the bedroom, he whispered, "Miss Shen Wu was granted a marriage by the palace, and Master Gao and Master Ji failed to report it, so the master got angry."
Nightingale covered her mouth, her eyes wide open for a long moment before she said, "Master Gao and Master Ji are truly courageous. They even dared to conceal information about Miss Shen Wu. No wonder they were thrown into the tower prison." She glanced at the white tiger shivering in the cold wind and said sympathetically, "Heaven has pity on them. They're well fed and well cared for on a daily basis, and we thought they were any different from us. But when something goes wrong, they're still used as punching bags."
Huo Long lifted up his long hair and sighed softly, "To risk one's life for a beautiful woman—ah."
Inside the room, Xie Jingxing handed the finished letter to Tieyi. Tieyi took a look at it and said hesitantly, "Master, if His Majesty knew that we've changed our plans..."
Xie Jingxing glanced at him, and Tieyi immediately shut up. It was definitely not a good idea to oppose Zhuzi's decision when his master was in a bad mood.
