殊不知，此刻一道人影悄无声息地落在了墙外，刚抬起手准备敲门，不料眸光微动恰好看到沈云兮的举动，一时间手上的动作便僵硬了。
Junxuan looked embarrassed. After finishing his official duties, he thought the night view was beautiful and originally wanted to invite Shen Yunxi to come and see it with him.
However, after arriving, he felt that his actions were somewhat reckless. Even as the emperor, it was inappropriate for him to come looking for women at night.
Later, Junxuan convinced himself that he was just looking at the night view and there would be no gossip. Moreover, in a place like the palace, who would dare to talk nonsense on his territory?
At this moment, Shen Yunxi is taking a bath. If he were a virtuous person, he should stay away and not do anything improper.
But for some reason, it felt like my feet were rooted to the ground.
Even though he could only see Shen Yunxi's figure through the crack and couldn't make out her exact appearance, Jun Xuan still couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, turned around, and lightly leaped onto the roof.
The palace guards didn't quite understand Junxuan's actions, so Northwest subconsciously asked Southeast.
"Brother, why doesn't the Emperor go to see Miss Shen?"
The two of them came with Jun Xuan and had no idea that Shen Yunxi was preparing to take a bath in the bathroom. Moreover, the guards were quite far away from their master, so of course they couldn't see the scenery that Jun Xuan was seeing.
Southeast, however, had some guesses. His hearing was excellent, and he heard the sound of water. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. The masters are all outside, so we subordinates naturally have to guard outside."
"Okay, I was just curious," Northwest said, sounding aggrieved.
The Northwest is three years younger than the Southeast. They are brothers. The Southeast protected the Northwest very well, so he is a relatively simple person. However, when it comes to kung fu and the ability to kill, the Northwest is much more skilled than the Southeast. He is ruthless.
"You should rest now. I'll stay and watch over the master from now on. I'll go and relieve him with someone else tomorrow," Southeast said softly.
Northwest yawned. "Okay, I'll head back then."
After saying that, Northwest's body flashed and quickly disappeared into the night. Even with the bright moonlight, he quickly concealed himself.
Shen Yunxi was unaware that there were people outside her courtyard, let alone that there was another person on the roof of the bathhouse, and that this person was none other than Jun Xuan.
Junxuan did not peek at Shen Yunxi bathing. Even if he had some thoughts in his mind, he would not do such a despicable thing. He did not want to do anything to Shen Yunxi at this time. He simply wanted to be closer to her.
Upon hearing the sound of water below, Junxuan unconsciously thought of something unspeakable, and his body became very uncomfortable. He slightly lifted his right foot and placed it on top of his left foot, as if trying to cover up some truth.
Finally, the sound of water stopped. Shen Yunxi slowly stood up, supported by the bath tub, dried herself, and changed into her undergarments.
Feeling a bit stuffy after her shower, Shen Yunxi checked her clothes before laboriously returning to her room and opening the window.
There was a book by the window, which Shen Yunxi originally read in her spare time, but she was too lazy to put it away now and decided to read it tomorrow.
It was indeed very hot during the day, but the night was a little cooler. Shen Yunxi sat by the window, not feeling sleepy at all, so she just sat there and enjoyed the night view.
It has to be said that Junxuan followed her to the top of her, and now he and Shen Yunxi were enjoying the beautiful scenery under the same sky.
Suddenly, Shen Yunxi heard a faint noise.
Who's there?
Jun Xuan's heart tightened. Shen Yunxi clearly did not know martial arts, so how did she know about his movements?
He was just moving his slightly sore legs, how could they notice that?
However, Junxuan soon realized that he was overthinking things. Shen Yunxi was not referring to her, but to the noise coming from her room.
It turned out that the little bird had somehow fluttered onto a sachet, which then fell to the ground. She thought the noise came from behind her, so she turned around and asked.
"You little thing, I treated your injuries, gave you a place to stay, and even fed you, and you still messed things up." Shen Yunxi chuckled.
After saying that, she bent down to pick up the sachet that had fallen to the ground.
Junxuan moved slightly and landed gently against the wall. He pressed himself against the wall to Shen Yunxi's left and slowed his breathing. Perhaps he never thought that he would one day become a thief, and at this moment he dared not appear in front of Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi had already picked up the sachet, but noticed that it seemed as if a gust of wind had blew by just now, and the book placed by the window seemed to have turned a page.
Thinking it was probably just wind, Shen Yunxi didn't think much of it.
The two of them gazed at the sky in silence. Although they were very close, Junxuan felt that they were far apart. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he deserved it.
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
If he hadn't treated Shen Yunxi this way in the past, Shen Yunxi wouldn't be avoiding him like the plague now.
Ultimately, it's my own fault; I can't blame anyone else.
Jun-hyun took a deep breath and sighed softly.
However, the surroundings were too quiet. The Empress Dowager knew that Shen Yunxi disliked noise, which was why she arranged such a quiet courtyard for her. As a result, Shen Yunxi heard this soft sigh.
"Who's there? Come out!" Shen Yunxi scolded.
According to her guess, there must be some clueless palace maids or eunuchs hiding in the shadows doing something sneaky, but she wasn't afraid.
It wasn't until the familiar scent of ambergris drew near that Shen Yunxi's eyes widened, realizing that the person hiding in the shadows was not a eunuch or a palace maid at all, but the Emperor himself!
Shen Yunxi subconsciously prepared to bow to Jun Xuan, but Jun Xuan raised his hand to stop her. He slowly walked up to Shen Yunxi and said, "When I came over just now, I saw you talking to the birds, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"Your Majesty, why have you come here so late at night?" Shen Yunxi's tone was not good, and she subtly tightened her clothes.
Junxuan wasn't unaware of her actions, but he could only pretend not to see them. After all, he was the one who came uninvited, acting like a lecherous scoundrel, appearing in her undergarments after she had bathed.
"If I said I just came to invite you to enjoy the night view, would you believe me? Shen Yunxi, I don't know what's wrong with me. Perhaps it's the resentment you mentioned, or perhaps it's because I've gotten to know you better after playing chess with you during the day. I have no friends in the palace, so I want to invite you to enjoy the night view as a friend. I wonder if you would agree?"
On the surface, Junxuan spoke very calmly, but no one knew that he was also very nervous, unconsciously clenching his hands.
What should he do if Shen Yunxi rejects him?
But, I think she wouldn't refuse, right?
