Chapter 26 Resign yourself to fate
The sky outside gradually darkened, and Shen Jingxuan and her maid stayed in the house without coming out.
They waited quietly for Li Yong to go to Shen Jinghuan to inquire about the news, but he never came back.
The gong of the second watch rang, and hurried footsteps were heard in the yard.
Shen Jingxuan and the maid didn't make any sound in the room until the door was knocked three times.
Chuntao ran over quickly and opened the door, and Li Yong squeezed in.
He said quickly, "Miss, the prince has ordered his guards to quietly bring people to our yard."
"The Third Miss is with him in the yard. We need to get ready as soon as possible."
The corners of Shen Jingxuan's lips curled up: "Let's go out and wait first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the window behind him.
Chuntao, Li Yong and others followed behind. They had just closed the rear window when they heard the sound of conversation in the yard.
"Take this. You can only succeed, not fail." The guard gave the instructions and turned to leave.
The man lit the thing in his hand, poked a hole in the window paper and put it in, then waited for a while before opening the door and entering the room.
At this time, Shen Jingxuan had already climbed back out of the window and was sitting in the room waiting for the man to arrive.
"Bang..." The man closed the door and took a few steps, then was knocked unconscious to the ground by Li Yong's stick.
He looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Miss, how do we deal with this man?"
"Throw them to a mass grave and leave it to fate." After Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, Li Yong dragged the man out.
Donglian didn't understand why the young lady didn't kill the man. She said reluctantly, "Young lady, are you just going to let him go?"
Qiu You raised her hand and slapped her on the back of the head: "There are wild beasts everywhere near the mass grave, and he is still unconscious."
After being slapped by Qiuyou, Donglian immediately understood what the young lady meant by leaving everything to fate.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the people in front of her and asked, "Is everything ready over there?"
"It's ready. Xia Mei is watching over there." Chun Tao replied.
The Pixiang Courtyard was unusually quiet at this time. Xie Zihan and Shen Jinghuan sat in the house, quietly waiting for news from the guards.
There was a sudden knock on the door. The two were startled and looked at each other, their eyes filled with unconcealable joy.
"Miss, I'm here to bring you a midnight snack." The maid's voice came from outside the door.
Xie Zihan slowly retracted his raised body and sat back in the chair.
"Come in." The excitement on Shen Jinghuan's face disappeared, and he gradually returned to his original appearance.
The maid placed the midnight snack on the table in front of Shen Jinghuan and Xie Zihan and turned to leave.
The room suddenly became quiet.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the breathing of the two people and the occasional aroma of midnight snacks.
After waiting for so long, there was still no news from the guards, and Xie Zihan became impatient.
Shen Jinghuan looked at his impatient expression and stood up and came to his side: "Prince Palace Master, please don't be anxious, let's wait a little longer."
She picked up the midnight snack and stirred it with a spoon: "Your Highness, let's eat the midnight snack first. We should have news after we finish eating."
Shen Jinghuan stood beside Xie Zihan with a midnight snack. She scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Xie Zihan's mouth with a smile on her face.
Looking at Shen Jinghuan like this, Xie Zihan opened his mouth unconsciously, put the warm spoon on his lips, and the food slowly slid into his mouth.
Shen Jinghuan's cheeks gradually turned red: "Your Highness, is it delicious?"
Xie Zihan looked at the shy woman in front of him, slowly raised his hands, placed them on both sides of Shen Jinghuan's waist, and kneaded them gently.
"Of course what Huan'er feeds is delicious."
"Then you should eat more." Shen Jinghuan said with a smile.
The two of them were like this, one standing, one sitting, one feeding, and the other eating.
Soon, Xie Zihan finished the bowl of midnight snack. When Shen Jinghuan picked up another bowl and wanted to continue feeding him, he was stopped by Xie Zihan.
"Huan'er, you eat too. I'll watch you eat." Xie Zihan looked at Shen Jinghuan intently.
"Okay." Shen Jinghuan lowered her head shyly, slowly sat on the chair, and ate her midnight snack in small bites.
The softness in his hands disappeared, and Xie Zihan's heart became empty.
Time passed little by little, and both of them had finished their midnight snack, but there was still no news from the guards.
Xie Zihan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Shen Jinghuan looked at him quietly.
Maybe it was because he walked too long or the temperature in the room was too high, but beads of sweat gradually appeared on Xie Zihan's forehead and he suddenly felt dry mouth.
He hurried to the table, picked up the teacup and drank a glass of water, but he still felt hot and thirsty.
After drinking two glasses of water in a row, there was still no relief, so Xie Zihan raised his hand and pulled at his collar.
"Your Highness?" Shen Jinghuan noticed that something was wrong with Xie Zihan and came to his side anxiously.
She also felt that the room was unusually hot, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Shen Jinghuan tugged at her collar lightly and raised her hand to grab Xie Zihan's hand.
The slightly cool touch made the two of them feel extremely comfortable, but gradually they were no longer satisfied with this slight coolness.
Xie Zihan lowered his eyes and looked at the fair skin exposed at Shen Jinghuan's collar, and suddenly a warm current surged up.
He raised his other hand and held Shen Jinghuan's waist, pulling her into his arms, his hands constantly wandering over her body.
The moment Shen Jinghuan was pulled into his arms, her whole body trembled. She hugged Xie Zihan's waist tightly, more and more tightly.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to be no longer satisfied with a simple hug and wanted more.
Xie Zihan looked at Shen Jinghuan, slowly lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
It started as a light kiss, then gradually deepened and finally became urgent.
The sudden feeling of comfort was like a fuse that ignited two hot bodies.
"Hmm..." Shen Jinghuan's low moan sounded.
Xie Zihan seemed to be encouraged and could no longer control himself. He kept hugging her tightly and kissing her, kissing her all the way down...
After a long time, Xie Zihan couldn't stand it anymore, picked up Shen Jinghuan and threw her on the bed...
The next morning, Yuxuanyuan
After Shen Jingxuan accompanied Shen Xinglin in training, she taught him the martial arts techniques and asked him to go back and practice diligently.
She returned to the house and was eating breakfast when Chuntao walked in with a beaming look on her face.
"Miss, it's done. The prince stayed in the Pixiangyuan last night."
"Shen Jinghuan finally got what she wanted."
Shen Jingxuan curled her lips: "Chun Tao, do you think she wants to show off to me now?"
Chun Tao laughed: "Miss, she probably can't show off to you now. Qiu You said they don't seem to have woken up yet."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Chuntao who was laughing, and the corners of her mouth also rose. She didn't expect that Li Yong was so reliable.
"Have you dealt with Guizhi? Don't expose her, she is still useful." Shen Jingxuan warned carefully.
Chun Tao patted her chest and assured: "Miss, it's arranged. Miss San will not blame her."
Shen Jingxuan knew about Guizhi from Qiuyou. It turned out that the maid who was beaten to death by Shen Jinghuan was Guizhi's sister.
Qiuyou saw that Guizhi hated Shen Jinghuan, so she told her what happened last night. Guizhi then took the initiative to help deliver the midnight snack.
I wonder how Shen Jinghuan would feel if she knew this.
