Did the Seventh Prince attend court today?

As dawn approached, the rain gradually subsided, the layers of dark clouds quietly dispersed, revealing a sliver of light, and the fiery red sun was slowly rising.

In a daze, Youlu felt herself being picked up, a familiar scent surrounding her nose. Before her mind could process it, she wrapped her arms around the neck of the person in front of her, nuzzling against them affectionately, and mumbled, "You're back..."

After he finished speaking, he became more alert, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said, "I told them to keep the hot water boiling. Go take a bath to warm yourself up."

"You've already soaked." A deep, pleasant voice sounded above you, tinged with reproach. "Why aren't you back in bed?"

"I wanted to wait for you to come back," Youlu yawned, "but I was so tired that I fell asleep on the table. How's the situation in Nanzhang?"

"Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and although many people were injured, no one lost their lives."

"That's good."

After a night of anxiety, Yu Lu finally felt relieved, and sleepiness returned. She closed her eyes, snuggled into a warm embrace, and whimpered, "I want to sleep a little longer."

"it is good."

Her arms were steady as she gently placed him on the bed. The moment she pulled her arms away, he grabbed her back, complaining, "This is my pillow!"

"Okay, here you go." Cang Shuyue smiled helplessly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and took off his shoes.

Youlu quickly moved to the side, patting the spot next to her and shouting, "Come on, let's sleep together!"

Even though he was used to his wild and bold nature, Cang Shuyue was still a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he lay down on the outside fully clothed.

Youlu grabbed one of his arms and wrapped it around herself, rested her head on his arm, and fell asleep in no time, even snoring happily.

Cang Shuyue chuckled, turned and pulled him into her arms, resting her chin on the top of his head as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

He didn't sleep for long. Just as dawn broke, there was a knock at the door, and a soft voice said, "Seventh Prince, are you awake? This servant has come to help you change and wash."

Youlu was awakened by the somewhat shrill sound, covered her ears and turned over.

Seeing no movement inside, the person outside spoke again: "Seventh Prince, are you awake?"

The sound was a few decibels louder than before.

Youlu kicked his legs irritably, about to sit up, when Cang Shuyue pulled him back into her arms and whispered, "I'll take care of it."

His voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up, but it was low and very magnetic.

The deer's ears were a little itchy. It nodded, not even wanting to open its eyes, and said, "You need to come back quickly."

"Um."

With that soft response, something gently brushed across her brow, soft and warm, fleeting and so fast that it disappeared before her mind could even process it, leaving only a slight itch.

Youlu scratched his forehead and continued to snore.

Outside the door, a beautiful woman stood under the eaves, holding a basin of water and smiling. She wore a light green gauze dress, and a pale yellow belt outlined her graceful figure. She was as delicate and charming as a young scallion. With her lotus-like face and autumn-water eyes, every frown and smile exuded charm. It was clear at a glance that she was no ordinary maid.

This was specially prepared by Zhang Rui. Both the eldest prince and You Lu had one, but the eldest prince was busy with disaster relief and did not return overnight, so Zhang Rui had to send this one over first.

Qingyu stared intently at the door in front of her, her eyes gleaming with determination.

Whether she returns to the building to endure inhumane training or rises to prominence depends on today; she absolutely cannot fail. Fortunately, this time her target is a callow youth, who shouldn't be too difficult to handle.

As she pondered, the door creaked open, and Qingyu immediately adjusted her expression, revealing a perfectly timed, charming smile. But before she could speak, a flash of cold light appeared, and blood gushed from her throat.

The smile on her face hadn't faded completely, mixed with the fear that had just surfaced. Qingyu stared wide-eyed as she fell straight down, the copper basin crashing to the ground, the water mixed with blood spilling everywhere.

Cang Shuyue's gaze turned sinister as he lightly swept over the corpse on the ground, and he said in a deep voice, "Clean it up."

He shook off the undried blood from his sword, wrapped the silver soft sword back around his waist, and turned to close the door.

Two dark figures landed silently under the eaves; one carried the body away, while the other quickly cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.

Without his pillow, Youlu didn't sleep well. Fortunately, his pillow was soon returned, and he happily hugged it and rubbed against it, completely ignoring the commotion outside.

Cang Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the person into his arms again.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Youlu finally had enough sleep. Seeing that Cang Shuyue was still sleeping, he got up refreshed, stretched, and tiptoed over Cang Shuyue to crawl out. But he had only crawled halfway when Cang Shuyue pulled him into her arms, turned him over, and said in a hoarse voice, "Baby, be good, sleep a little longer."

The deer blinked, then blinked again, its gaze meeting the bewildered Pixiu beside it. With a hint of smugness, it said, "He called me 'baby.'"

The Pixiu's pupils are shaking! [It's an illusion! It's definitely an illusion!]

Youlu didn't care about anything else and casually lay down on Cang Shuyue's chest, propping his chin up and tracing the man's deep and handsome features with his eyes. His gaze swept over the light stubble on his chin, and he curiously reached out to touch it, finding it a little prickly.

He touched his chin again; it was smooth, but it felt a little off.

After comparing the two, he felt that Cang Shuyue's was better to touch.

Under his persistent harassment, Cang Shuyue finally opened her eyes, grabbed his mischievous hand and squeezed it, then scolded in a hoarse voice, "Nonsense."

Youlu grunted twice, rolled off him to the edge of the bed, sat up and kicked him, then buried her head in her shoes.

It was clearly a very light kick, yet Cang Shuyue's breath caught in his throat, and his whole body stiffened.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. He abruptly stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to change."

Before the words were even finished, the person had already left the room.

A deer tilted its head. "Why is he running so fast?"

brave troops:【……】

It seems to understand, but it doesn't really want to understand.

Who can tell it if its understanding is about to be overturned?!

It was past breakfast time, so Youlu ate some snacks to fill her stomach, fed Xiaogua some dried medicinal insects, prepared the medicine, and then left the room.

The rain has stopped, the sun is shining brightly outside, and the leaves of the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are glistening green after being washed overnight, and the air is filled with the scent of earth.

Youlu stretched his limbs by the door and did a set of aerobics, but Cang Shuyue still didn't come out. He couldn't help but mutter in confusion, "Does it take a grown man this long to change clothes?"

The Pixiu chuckled dryly, "[Beasts are not human; beasts don't understand.]"

Youlu went to look for the eldest prince, but found that he was not in the room. She asked the maid who was serving him and learned that the eldest prince had gone out last night and had not returned.

Not only the eldest prince, but also Gu Cheng and Yin Wu did not return.

The Pixiu, which had read millions of books, fell silent. Could it be that it had been wrong all along?

I began to doubt my animalistic existence.
