Chapter 43 Indulgence
Chen Yu sat up hugging the quilt and whispered, "I heard that the brothel on the Yi'an pleasure boat is particularly famous, with many beautiful women. Your Highness has been wronged all the way, so it is natural for you to have some fun in Yi'an."
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "You are good at analysis."
"Your Highness, you are too kind," Chen Yu said with a smile, "I only know a little bit about Your Highness."
Xie Tingzhou: "You are calling me Your Highness so often tonight. What bad things have you done?"
"Of course not," Chen Yu said seriously, "but if you speculate on His Highness's private affairs, you should be more polite in your words."
Xie Tingzhou chuckled, lay down with his clothes on and closed his eyes.
Chen Yu followed and lay down. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is Yi'an's brothel really as rumored, with all kinds of beauties?"
Xie Tingzhou asked back: "What do you think?"
Chen Yu thought about it, and the gong sound outside just struck the fifth watch.
An idea suddenly occurred to her. "It shouldn't be that great, otherwise His Highness wouldn't have come back at five o'clock. How long has it been? If there were so many beauties, he would have stayed up until dawn—"
The quilt covered her entire face. Chen Yu slowly pulled the quilt down and didn't dare to speak, fearing that the prince beside her, who had an unpredictable temper and was weak and unable to take care of himself, would suddenly turn hostile.
The wound on Chen Yu's arm has scabbed over, but the wound on Xie Tingzhou's back is more serious and will require some time to recuperate.
Change the dressing as usual in the morning.
The people from the escort agency came to wake the two of them up, and after having breakfast they were ready to set off.
I walked to the door and was about to knock when I heard a soft cry from inside the room.
"Hiss, be gentler."
"Does it hurt? Like this?"
"It's a bit tight, relax a little."
Chen Yu loosened the bandage a little and curled her lips where Xie Tingzhou couldn't see.
How come this prince, who has been sleeping in the open air all the way, is becoming more and more pampered?
When he was first injured, he was covered in blood but he remained calm. Now that the wound has scabbed over, he is still groaning in pain.
Chen Yu thought about it and suddenly said: "Who told you to be too indulgent last night——"
"Shut up." Xie Tingzhou said coldly.
The people from the escort agency who were outside were stunned when they heard what was happening, but after thinking it over they decided not to disturb the two.
After Chen Yu bandaged Xie Tingzhou's wound, she went downstairs. The people from the escort agency were having dinner downstairs.
After the two sat down, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. Several escorts kept stealing
Looking at the two of them, when Shen Yu looked over, the other party hurriedly avoided his gaze.
After dinner, Chen Yu got on the carriage, pressed the curtain, and whispered: "Something is wrong. We must be more vigilant today. I suspect they have discovered that I am rich and want to kill me for money."
Xie Tingzhou looked at Shi Yu speechlessly.
He also felt very strange and wondered if he was discovered when he went out last night?
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Just looking at the expressions of those escorts, they don't look like they have any intention to harm anyone, but rather look more like they are curious.
What are they curious about?
The escort team continued to march towards Shengjing. After another day's journey, they rested in an inn.
We are resting in a small town tonight. The conditions of the inn are far inferior to those in Yi'an. Even the kettle in the guest room is empty.
Xie Tingzhou looked at Shi Yu who had fallen asleep, and wondered where he got so much sleep in a day.
He was clearly his guard, but now it seemed as if he was keeping watch for him.
Xie Tingzhou picked up the kettle and went downstairs. As soon as he went out, the "sleeping" Chen Yu opened her eyes.
I didn’t catch where he went last night, so I must not miss it tonight.
Chen Yu quietly got up and followed, opening and closing the door very carefully. She looked around and moved towards the direction Xie Tingzhou had left.
Just after turning the corner, I almost collided with someone coming from the opposite direction.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at him, "You are pretending to be asleep very well."
Chen Yu was caught in the act, and she said, "It's not to protect you."
Xie Tingzhou didn't let him go, "Who are you protecting against?"
"Of course it's someone from the escort agency."
"Oh, the truth is strong."
As soon as he finished speaking, his lips were suddenly covered.
Xie Tingzhou was stunned. No one had ever been so brave as to cover his mouth.
Shi Yu covered his mouth and listened carefully. He heard the footsteps of several people walking towards this side.
Xie Tingzhou forgot to react for a moment, his steps were disorderly, and Shi Yu covered his mouth and pushed him into the woodshed behind.
The group stopped at the kitchen next door.
"Oh, it's so cold. I have to boil water for this lousy inn myself."
"Stop talking nonsense, burn it first, the young lady is still waiting."
It was the voice of the group of escorts.
One person said: "I said that the two of them didn't look like brothers at all, and it turns out they are not."
Chen Yu let go of her hand and looked at Xie Tingzhou. They read in each other's eyes
The same idea.
Their identities exposed?
Then someone answered, "I never thought that the two of them would have that kind of relationship."
Chen Yu mouthed, "What kind of relationship?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and motioned for him to continue listening.
"Look at the tall one. How could a man be born like that? I think it's normal for a man to lose control."
After hearing this, Shen Yu still had only a vague understanding.
"That's not necessarily true. The young master was also very handsome at that time. The two of them have such a big difference in physique. Maybe the young master was the one at the bottom."
Shen Yu instantly understood what they were talking about. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Xie Tingzhou covered her mouth.
revenge!
It was definitely revenge for covering her mouth just now.
Chen Yu reached out to pry his hand apart, but she didn't expect that Xie Tingzhou, who was so weak and unable to take care of himself, had such great strength that his hand didn't move at all.
She didn't dare to use too much force for fear of breaking his fingers, so she could only let him cover them and glare at him.
Xie Tingzhou smiled faintly, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "What should I do? It seems like I've been misunderstood."
Shen Yu pointed to her mouth and signaled him to let go, and Xie Tingzhou let go.
She was much shorter than Xie Tingzhou and couldn't speak loudly, so she could only stand on tiptoe and whisper in his ear: "It means they don't miss my money."
The light breath passed by my ears, bringing an inexplicable tingling sensation.
Xie Tingzhou frowned slightly and moved aside, wanting to say something but then pursed his lips.
The chit-chat next door continues.
"In fact, we should have seen the clues earlier. The eldest lady was always trying to please Mr. Shi, but he didn't even look at her. He only had eyes for that man."
Chen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, and Xie Tingzhou happened to lower his eyes, and their eyes met.
A sly smile suddenly flashed across Xie Tingzhou's eyes, and he wanted to tease him, "I'm curious too, can you control yourself?"
Chen Yu understood instantly, he wanted to pretend to be gay to disgust her? She was not afraid, she was not a man.
Chen Yu held his hand tightly and said sincerely, "To be honest, I have been having a hard time these days. If it weren't for my strong self-control, I would have raped you a long time ago."
Xie Tingzhou's eyebrows twitched, feeling disgusted by him.
It turns out that a shameless person is invincible.
Compared to Shi Yu, he lost in terms of face.
