He asked him a question, but the mute just turned his eyes away and seemed to be a little depressed.
Shen would not necessarily smile when he was happy, nor would he cry when he was sad, and he would even rarely look sad. He was always dull and insensitive, so much so that His Highness could almost instantly catch the inconspicuous sadness in his eyes.
The mute was silent for such a long time before he finally raised his hand and said in a pleading manner: "Like before, I will still be the prince's attendant, okay?"
Xie Shiguan loved his dullness and slowness, but at the same time he hated it so much. He was such an impatient person, but he was forced to be considerate for this mute. Unfortunately, Shen was like a stone that could not be warmed up.
All the lust and distraction between the curtains on the couch seemed fake, just his wishful thinking.
"Like before, how come?" Xie Shiguan stared at him straight in the eyes, but his voice was low, "Will any guard have physical contact with his master? Will any guard give birth to an heir for his master? Don't be naive. Shen Que, there is no going back."
The dense, slightly curled eyelashes suddenly drooped even lower, but Shen knew that His Highness was right, there was no going back.
Just like a child who, after having eaten meat and sweets, would no longer want to eat the bland porridge and rice oil, now that he had felt the tenderness of His Highness, he had become addicted. Even if he no longer wanted it, he could not suppress his greed, his insatiable desire for His Highness to have eyes only for him.
It turned out that he thought that if he could get just one glance from His Highness, he would die without regrets.
But now this greedy glance is not enough, Shen feels that he is about to be burned by this warmth and become a shameless villain. He wants so much and so much. If His Highness knew about it, he would definitely think he is shameless.
How could he dare to think that? How could he become so greedy?
Xie Shi looked at his drooping eyes, and besides feeling angry, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. This mute was obviously fine a few days ago. He knew that he was very busy these days, so he came to accompany him for meals at the appointed time.
He was not very enthusiastic, but he was still quite docile. Occasionally, the little cub would not listen and did not want the nurse to coax him, so he would come later. However, whenever he was late, he would always let the little slave come and report the news first and would never let him wait anxiously.
What happened today?
After thinking about it, there was only one possibility, so His Highness suddenly lifted up half of his face with one hand and asked tentatively: "Did you see anything?"
Chen did not answer, but Xie Shiguang saw that his eyelashes trembled, so slightly, like the subtle trembling of raindrops falling on green leaves.
His Highness knew that he had guessed correctly. The mute must have just taken a glance, and then ran back without thinking or asking, leaving him feeling extremely bitter and aggrieved.
"I didn't touch him," Xie Shiguan suddenly squeezed his shoulders. He really wanted to pull the mute to the eaves, ask someone to call the maid back, and then perform the same scene again for the mute, "I really didn't touch him!"
Shen was pinched by him and felt pain, and then he twisted his face up, forcing him to look at His Highness.
He saw the burning in His Highness' eyes, as if there was fire burning in them, and a hint of grievance of being wronged.
"That man was rewarded by Xie Yizhi, the foolish rogue, and he carried a golden imperial edict on him. The gatekeepers of the outer palace did not dare to stop him, so he was lucky enough to enter the inner palace."
There was a bit of bewilderment in Shen's eyes when he looked at him. He knew that he had wronged His Highness, but His Highness...why did he have to explain to him?
Besides... even if it is not His Highness's wish, there is a royal gift today and another gift tomorrow. They are all carefully selected and sent in. I believe any one of them is better than his.
Your Highness will eventually find out that this mute is just an ordinary mute, without a striking appearance or anything else to show for it, and he is so stupid that he even has difficulty reading a book.
Then His Highness would pull away without mercy, and only he would cling to the warmth that had long disappeared, struggling like a joke.
He had already lost all his dignity in front of His Highness, and he couldn't deny himself even this last bit of dignity.
When Xie Shi saw his reaction, he knew that the mute still didn't believe him.
So, in a rage, His Highness suddenly reached out and pulled out the scimitar from his waist, then forcefully stuffed the handle into his hand, grabbed his wrist, and suddenly lifted it up.
The extremely sharp tip of the knife was pressing against Xie Shiguan's heart. If it moved one step further, it would penetrate the brocade clothes and pierce into his flesh.
"If you still don't believe it," Xie Shiguan said angrily, "then open my heart and see."
The mute seemed to be frightened by the sudden scene, his eyes and hands were stiff.
"Cut it open!"
Xie Shiguan seemed to be really risking his life. Even though the tip of the knife was so close to him, he still wanted to move forward. The mute's hands became weak due to fear, and the scimitar also fell to the ground with a clang.
The next moment, he was hugged tightly by His Highness, with such a strong force that he almost crushed him. A sigh came from his ear: "How could I lie to you? How could I bear to lie to you again?"
"Can you..." Xie Shiguan pressed against his neck, his scorching breath threatening him, "Just trust me for once?"
His heart was beating so fast that even breathing was difficult. The voice fell into his ears, burning him so deeply that he couldn't even hear it clearly.
His Royal Highness Prince Yan, who was usually so high and mighty, would actually be so condescending to coax him. For a moment, Chen Que thought that even if this was just a lie from His Royal Highness that he lied to him on a whim, he would accept it.
It was already noon, and because of this incident, the two had not been able to eat until now.
However, Shen felt that His Highness might be extremely hungry. The lips that he had kissed and the tip of his tongue that had been entangled with each other were swollen and numb, which made him wonder if he had been bitten somewhere.
Such a repeated kiss, perhaps, could not be considered a kiss. Often, he had just taken a breath when His Highness came upon him again.
At first it was just a light touch, like an ordinary kiss between lovers that was only passionate and without lust. When the kiss slowly warmed the dumb thing, Xie Shiguan began to explore and stir it.
He always found a way to make the mute dizzy, even if it was just a kiss.
Just when Shen Que thought that the next step would be a closer intimacy, His Highness suddenly stopped, bit his earlobe instead, and gently tapped his lower back with his fingertips as if it was itching.
The kiss His Highness gave him was always just a beginning, a primer. Even if Chen had forgotten, his body still remembered the feeling. Just a few teasings and he softened spinelessly.
His body couldn't help but feel hot, and he didn't want His Highness to notice, so he secretly clamped his legs together. However, his whole body fell into Xie Shiguan's arms. How could His Highness not notice the sudden tenseness in his body and the sudden redness on his ears?
Those little movements that were silent but thought to be hidden were actually all seen by His Highness.
So His Highness deliberately moved closer, pushed his legs apart with his knees, and rubbed slowly through the clothes: "Why are you doing bad things behind my back?"
"You feel so happy just by kissing me?" The redder the dumb man's face became, the more he wanted to say, "What will you do if someone else finds out about your lewd and wanton behavior?"
These words were originally meant for the mute to hear. Xie Shiguan liked to see him blushing with shame, but as he spoke, he instead created some imaginary anger in his mind.
"When you were in the south, did you seduce anyone like this?" Xie Shiguan pressed his head against his ear, and with a nameless anger, he didn't wait for his answer, and then asked, "But if you were really innocent, how could you attract so many ugly people to covet you?"
His Highness insisted on asking him, but refused to let him raise his hand to answer. He was so innocent, but in His Highness's mouth he became a bad guy who attracted many women.
After rubbing like this for a while, the mute could not bear it anymore. He closed his eyes and tilted his neck, his hands unconsciously pulling his collar tighter. Xie Shiguan took the opportunity to get close to him and nibble on his unclear Adam's apple.
"You are so fast," His Highness said with a smile in his eyes, "If you were to do this with others, you would be laughed at."
But Shen felt even more ashamed, as there was a slight chill in his robe, which clung to him wetly.
Xie Shiguan, however, seemed to be very kind and discussed with him in a gentle voice: "It's okay, though. I'll help you practice more in the future."
Guessing that the mute was about to shake his head again, His Highness deliberately raised his hand to hold his face and ordered him in a domineering manner: "Don't shake your head."
"Knowing the difficulties first leads to learning, this is a truth that even children know," Xie Shiguan said with a stern face, as if he was doing something noble like "teaching and resolving doubts." Suddenly, he became extremely serious, "You are so lazy and unwilling to learn, which is really bad and disobedient."
Shen was stunned by what he said. His Highness could always make all the improper things sound justified, but he was the only one who was tongue-tied and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.
After being stunned for a long while, he finally raised his hand: "I won't do this...like this...with others."
"You dare!" It was clearly his own suggestion, but Shen answered like this, and His Highness was still so fierce. After being fierce, his eyebrows relaxed again. He really took this mute to heart and hurt him, so he said he would help him practice. "Think about it yourself, which time didn't I make it up once, and you..."
But Shen struggled to raise his hand, covering his lips and stopping him from speaking.
Xie Shiguan stared at the red at the corners of his eyes, and suddenly smiled. He didn't try to pry his hands away. With his mouth blocked, he simply raised his hands and imitated the dumb man's gestures: "Sexual fatigue will hurt the kidneys, and the lower organs will be damaged. If you continue like this, you will probably be weak before you turn thirty."
The mute didn't have four hands to lock his hands and cover his lips, so he had to let go and turn his back to avoid him.
But His Highness was always pushing his luck, and would not let him off just because he was hiding. He kept chasing him and forced him into a corner: "If you really don't want to learn, then I will have to tie it up next time. Don't blame me then..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard two low knocks on the door, and then Shen Xiangzhi's voice: "Your Highness, how do you deal with those maids and old women caught from the outer mansion?"
Xie Shiguan frowned and replied in a cold voice: "They are just a few maids and old women. Do you want to ask me about this? I will deal with them and throw them into the mass grave outside the city."
"Yes," Shen Xiangzhi paused, and then continued, "It is already noon, and the kitchen is asking if His Highness still needs the food that has been prepared?"
Xie Shiguan was not in a hurry to answer, but put his arm around the mute's waist and asked, "Are you hungry?"
It was true that Chen was hungry, but at the moment he wanted to change his clothes and wipe his body. He was so wet that he felt uncomfortable taking a few steps.
But His Highness did not let him answer at all, and responded on his own initiative: "When it's ready, send it to this room."
Xie Shiguan would not let him leave, so Shen Que could only wear the soiled lingerie and watch the Silla maids in His Highness' room bringing in the dishes, pinching the edge of the chair helplessly.
These Silla maids would get very close to him when they bent over to serve him dishes, but Chen was always afraid that he would smell something when they got close to him, so he kept avoiding them quietly.
The Silla maids seemed to have noticed it as well and felt strange, but they did not dare to ask rashly. Only Xie Shiguan saw that he was obviously leaning to the side and raised the corners of his lips knowingly.
The mute caught a glimpse of the curve in the prince's eyes, and a tiny bit of annoyance rose in his heart, but this anger was fleeting, and he soon forced himself to shift his attention to other things.
In addition to these Silla maids who were serving food back and forth, there seemed to be some personal guards and attendants standing outside the door. However, those who came to deliver food in the past were all maids and old women from outer mansions who had been specially screened. Why were the personal guards suddenly asked to do such trivial tasks today?
Although she was a low-ranking maid in an outer palace, she had to have worked in the palace for at least five years. She had to be careful and have a decent appearance. It could be said that she had to pass many tests before she could get the undemanding job of delivering meals.
Master just mentioned "those maids and old women caught from the outer mansions". Could he be referring to the maids who served the meals?
Even among the servants who were carefully selected, there were spies...
"What are you standing there for?" Xie Shiguan suddenly asked, "Are you waiting for me to feed you?"
Shen Que came to his senses at this point, fearing that His Highness would really start fighting in front of so many people, so he hurriedly picked up the pair of jade chopsticks. When he lowered his head, he realized that the food in the porcelain bowl in front of him had been piled up to the top. If he wanted to get a bite of rice, he would probably have to dig down a bit.
"Eat more," When he looked up again, Shen saw His Highness smiling at him, "Grow some meat so it's easier to hold."
