Chapter 186 You Did It On Purpose
Xuan Qing was slightly stunned, "I thought..."
"Why?" Su Yunyao's expression remained unchanged. "Only this princess can see your body."
Xuan Qing looked at her in confusion, "Princess, Lord Wen is a man."
"What's wrong with men? Men can't watch it either." Su Yunyao's eyes darkened.
Xuan Qing: ...
He quickly climbed onto the beam and hid himself.
Wen Yi pushed the door open and walked in with his men.
The water stains under his feet made him frown. A flash of surprise crossed his mind, but he quickly returned to the expression he had when he pushed the door open.
"Princess, the hot water for bathing is ready. I will go and find pearls and agates to serve you."
Wen Yi clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed.
"No, let them be busy." Su Yunyao picked up the tea bowl and took another sip. "You guys should go out too."
The moment she finished speaking, a drop of water fell from the beam into the cup in her hand, creating a tiny splash.
Su Yunyao was stunned for a moment and closed the lid of the tea bowl.
Although it was just a trivial action, how could it escape the eyes of the Shengjing prefect who had handled countless cases?
The moment he looked away, he saw a triangle of cloth exposed at another place at the foot of the bed.
And that triangular piece of fabric looks like a man's belt no matter how you look at it.
Could there be a man in the princess's room?
Wen Yi glanced at Su Yunyao who was drinking tea without any expression.
There was water on the floor of the room and a belt at the foot of the bed.
If the assassin had not yet had time to strike, he would not have left so many loopholes.
This person had obviously been in the room for some time.
That being said.
This person is very likely acquaintance of the princess.
Who could it be?
Wen Yi calmly raised his eyes and glanced towards the beam, frowning slightly, "Princess, I will be guarding outside the door. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Su Yunyao curled the corners of her mouth and looked up to meet Xuan Qing's eyes.
Wen Yi took his men away.
Xuan Qing jumped down from the beam, "Princess."
Su Yunyao reached out and grabbed his collar. The expression on her face was not gentle at all, and even carried a hint of anger that she had never had before. "Did you do that on purpose just now?"
Xuan Qing looked panicked and hurriedly explained, "Princess, I don't have any."
Su Yunyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and a cunning arc appeared at the corner of her lips. "As the leader of the Xuanyi Guard, I don't believe that you would be so careless as to drop a drop of water into my tea bowl and leave a flaw."
"Princess," Xuan Qing said in a deep voice, "I have just taken off all my clothes, and I have been caught in the rain for quite a while, so my hair is soaked. This was indeed a momentary oversight on my part. Please forgive me, Princess."
Su Yunyao sat up straight.
Xuan Qing quickly stood up, replaced a bowl of clean tea for Su Yunyao, and placed it in front of her with his head lowered and both hands.
Su Yunyao stared at him in silence for a while before reaching out to bring the tea bowl over. At this time, she had no interest in drinking tea anymore, so she put it on the table, stood up and walked towards the bed.
"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep for a while. After I finish my bath, you can come and sleep with me."
Speaking of this.
She turned around and said, "This princess is afraid of the cold and is attached to her bed. She can never sleep well outside, you know."
You know?
These few simple words, like a thunderbolt, instantly exploded in Xuanqing's mind.
All the memories of that night at Huguo Temple came flooding back with Su Yunyao's careless words.
Xuan Qing's whole body was hot, and he felt like a shrimp thrown into a pot of boiling water.
He turned his head to glance at the basin of hot bath water, his brows slightly furrowed.
He really wanted a bucket of cold water.
Su Yunyao was half lying on the bed, looking at him still kneeling in the same place, and asked curiously: "What are you kneeling there for? Why don't you go take a shower and wait until the water is cold."
Xuan Qing: ...
He just wanted a bucket of cold water.
Xuan Qing sighed silently in his heart, turned and got into the bathtub.
The sound of the wind outside the window gradually died down, and the rain became lighter and lighter.
Xuan Ming and Xuan Xin, who were still guarding outside, looked at Xuan Qing sitting in the bathtub, wringing his clothes soaked by the rain.
"When exactly did our boss start dating the princess?" Xuan Xin was confused. "I remember the last time the three of us went to Xijing to protect the princess, our boss and the princess were only king and subject."
"That shouldn't be the case." Xuan Ming thought seriously. "I remember a time before, when the eldest princess was bathing in her room, she called the eldest brother in. At that time, the eldest brother seemed to have said, let's take a rest together. The eldest princess can rely on him for protection alone."
Xuan Xin: ...
Xuan Xin pursed her lips, and the strength of her hands twisting her clothes increased a little. "So, since that time, our boss has been with the eldest princess..."
"Okay, okay, we are ordered to protect the eldest princess. The boss knows how to act. If we see something, we should pretend we didn't see it. Don't cause trouble for the boss." Xuan Ming said seriously.
"Our boss is a secret guard. Have you forgotten the rules of our Xuanyi Guard? The princess is surrounded by so many men. I'm just afraid that our boss..."
Xuanxin seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Xuan Ming paused as he was twisting his clothes.
Both of them fell silent.
Xuan Qing sat in the bathtub and waited until the water in the bathtub was completely cool before turning over and walking out of the bathtub.
He wiped the water off his body, took out a clean undershirt from his bag and put it on, then walked slowly and quickly towards Su Yunyao's bed.
He moved very gently, as if he was afraid of accidentally waking the princess.
But even with such light footsteps, every step touched Wen Yi's heart.
His hands at his sides were clenched into fists.
Who is in the princess's room?
He was now almost certain and certain that the man had been asked by the princess to use the bucket of bath water, not because she wanted to take a bath herself.
The princess really feels sorry for him!
"Master Wen, why are you still here? The soldiers have all finished bathing. I asked someone to leave a bucket of hot water. You should go bathe too!"
Zhenzhu's voice was neither loud nor soft, but every word just happened to float into Xuanqing's ears.
He paused slightly and glanced at where Wen Yi was standing through the door and window.
"Thank you, Aunt Pearl. Although the dress has been booked, it's outside the palace after all. It's not like the palace or the princess's residence. We need to be careful in everything. The princess is bathing inside. Please go in and serve her first."
pearl:? ? ?
The princess is bathing in it?
When she heard this, she was surprised.
The princess had never bathed herself before. Every time she took a bath, her maid would serve her first, and then she would soak in the bathtub for a while.
Or when several adults stayed overnight, he would personally help the princess bathe.
The princess was bathing in it by herself today, and she and Agate were not even summoned?
Wen Yi looked at Zhenzhu standing outside the door in a daze and asked in surprise, "Aren't you going in to serve?"
