Although she was asleep, she was still very restless. After all, Bi Su had not returned yet, so Qi Yu was very worried.
On top of that, Qi Yu had not slept for an entire night, and was already extremely tired. So, yeah, although it was filled with shame, she had still fallen asleep sweetly.
It was rare for him to not be dreaming after sleeping deeply, but suddenly, her leg twitched once. Qi Yu woke up from her shock and opened her eyes.
"Hmm? "What's wrong?" Chu Yixuan lightly patted her back, "Have you had a nightmare?"
Qi Yu blinked his eyes and looked at Chu Yixuan. His eyes were dark and deep, with a soft, clear glow, and he was staring at her in silence.
"Ugh …" "You haven't slept?"
"I've already slept for more than ten hours."
Thinking about how Chu Yixuan had not slept at all, and had been staring at her, Qi Yu felt his whole body heating up.
She was a bit embarrassed and wanted to struggle free from his embrace, but he held her tightly. "If I can't sleep, it's fine to chat."
"I think I'll go to sleep!" Qi Yu closed her eyes, her heart thumping like a little deer.
She really wasn't used to staying so close to him when she was awake!
Last Two... If they had shared a bed together the last two times, she would have been drunk and wouldn't have been embarrassed. Not like now, uh...
Chu Yixuan tucked her in: "It's still early. Un, let's continue sleeping."
"It's still early? What time is it? "
"It's still not time for dinner yet."
It wasn't time for dinner yet! But why did she hear the sound of wheels coming from his stomach?
"I better get up and get you something to eat!"
Qi Yu was about to stand up, but she was stopped. My injury hasn't fully healed yet, so how can I have any appetite? "
"But didn't your stomach make a noise …"
Being forced back into bed, Qi Yu was a little angry, "Ai …"
Chu Yixuan said in a low voice: "If I were to look for food now, it would inevitably arouse the Imperial Physician's suspicion."
"But they'll still come over later to give you a listen?"
"But if you're still in bed, they won't be able to come."
"Oh!" Qi Yu finally understood that he didn't want to be friendly with her, but instead wanted to use her as a shield!
She was a little angry and wanted to sit up, but was hugged by Chu Yixuan.
"Alright, alright." He slightly curled his lips and whispered, "I want you to stay with me. Is that not enough?"
Cough, Qi Yu coughed twice, "I want to know if Bi Su is back yet."
"He's back."
"Really?" Qi Yu almost jumped up from the bed but she was held back by her.
Chu Yixuan stuck out his index finger to cover her lips, "Shh, whisper!"
Oh, oh, she almost forgot. She and Chu Yixuan are both under the surveillance of the Emperor. She looked at Chu Yixuan excitedly and asked softly, "She's really back?"
"Of course." Chu Yixuan smiled slightly: "I said that she would come back, and she will definitely come back."
"Ah, that's great!" Qi Yu happily wrapped her arms around Chu Yixuan's neck, and said emotionally: "Thank you, Chu Yixuan, thank you!"
Chu Yixuan didn't expect her to have such a huge reaction, because when Bi Su returned, she actually took the initiative to hug him …
A trace of a gentle smile unconsciously floated to the corner of Chu Yixuan's lips, and his pair of clear eyes also became gentle and enchanting.
When Qi Yu saw Bi Su, it was already in the middle of the night.
Chu Yixuan pretended that his injuries were still very severe, so he didn't even eat dinner. In the end, Qi Yu finished her meal and quietly brought him a few snacks to feed him. The two of them waited until it was New Year's Eve, only then, when most of the people were already asleep, did they convenient go and see Bi Su.
With Warm Xiang's help, the two of them extinguished the lights long ago. With Warm Xiang as a witness, the grace of the Duke and the Royal Concubine became even more persuasive. Only Qi Yu herself knew how awkward it was for her to be alone with Chu Yixuan.
Although the awkward feeling disappeared a lot when she heard that Bi Su had returned, but when the two of them were alone, she would think about the matter of her "losing her body" after drinking twice. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed in her heart, wondering if that was true or not, did she really lose her dignity to Chu Yixuan those two times?
If it really was like this, then why didn't Chu Yixuan take any further action? Logically speaking, after the first and second time, the third time should have been more logical.
— Well, of course she didn't expect a third time!
She just did not understand Chu Yixuan's attitude.
When they were ten years old, when they were sure that no one would dare to disturb them again, Chu Yixuan brought Qi Yu to go down the underground room under the bed. Bi Su was already waiting for them in the basement. When the curtain of darkness was opened, Bi Su and Lu Ming appeared in front of the two of them.
At the same time, Bi Su also happily rushed over and hugged Qi Yu with tears in her eyes: "Miss! I didn't expect that I would be able to come back alive to see you! "
"Why?" Qi Yu pushed Bi Su away and looked up and down, "Are you injured?"
"Not bad." Bi Su wiped away her tears and laughed, "However, if Lu Ming did not save me tonight, perhaps the Crown’s Master would have fed me to the fishes."
"Crown’s Master wants to feed you to the fishes?" Qi Yu's heart was suddenly set ablaze with anger. This Crown’s Master, was really too ruthless!
No matter what, Bi Su was Xu Rouzhi's cousin!
Oh, that's not right. How could a person who even his own daughter needed to use and deal with have favoured an inner niece? Moreover, this inner niece's aunt had even betrayed him.
Bi Su looked at Lu Ming gratefully, and then looked at Chu Yixuan, "must have guessed that Protector Lu went to save me, what will happen if he comes to face the Duke?"
"No, Bi Su, you are wrong," Lu Ming said, "The person who went to save you, was not me."
"Huh?" Bi Su was startled, "Who is that?"
"Yes …" Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "You will know in the future."
Bi Su looked at Chu Yixuan, and then looked at Qi Yu, and Chu Yixuan said: "Rest assured! No matter what Crown’s Master wants to do, I will just flood them with water. "
Lu Ming agreed: "Exactly! Anyways, even if we don't save you, the Crown’s Master will still have to deal with our Prince Qi's Palace. "
When Xu Chang was mentioned, he kept silent.
Although she wasn't the real Xu Rouzhi, Xu Chang was still the father of the body's original owner. She didn't dare think about how he would've faced her father if Xu Rouzhi hadn't died.
Chu Yixuan held Qi Yu's hand, and patted the back of her hand: "I believe you have something that you want to talk to Bi Su about. You sisters should continue chatting first, I want to head up now."
Lu Ming also said, "I can't leave for too long either."
"Sigh …" Qi Yu immediately pulled Chu Yixuan back, "You have all left, I do not know where the secret mechanism is, how do I go up later?"
Chu Yixuan laughed. Rest assured! I'll come down and pick you up later. "
Watching Chu Yixuan and Lu Ming's figures leave, Qi Yu did not know why, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"What's the matter, miss?" Bi Su asked.
Qi Yu lowered her head and frowned. She was thinking, could it be that Chu Yixuan wanted to lock her up in this basement so that he would have something to do to avoid her?
"Mn, tell me," Qi Yu said as she pulled Bi Su down to a seat. "What did you find in the Xu Family?"
When this matter was brought up, Bi Su lowered her head in disappointment: "I didn't discover anything, yet I was discovered by the Crown’s Master first."
Qi Yu was startled. "He doesn't have any doubts?"
Bi Su silently shook her head. He hadn't gone anywhere in the past two days. "Later on, someone sent something to him, and he mysteriously walked out. I quietly followed, and in the end …"
In the end, he was caught!
Xu Chang is really cunning, his movements are very secretive, to be able to be discovered by him. Could it be that his Xu Mansion is everywhere to prevent outsiders from invading?
Qi Yu could not help but frown: "So, the matter of him helping Prince Xin’s Mansion, could it be just a guess from the Prince Qi Palace?"
However, Bi Su said: "But based on Crown’s Master's character, I'm afraid he would really do that."
Qi Yu silently facepalmed. Uh, this time, Chu Yixuan really wouldn't lie to her anymore?
"Also, where is Feng Qingmo?" Qi Yu suddenly asked.
"Has Brother Feng returned yet?" Bi Su was also startled.
"No!" Qi Yu asked suspiciously, "Do you know where he went?"
"He went with the abandoned crown prince!" Bi Su asked anxiously, "Could it be that something happened between him and the abandoned crown prince?"
— — At this time, Mou Qing quietly walked out from the corner of his room and brought the news that he had disappeared halfway through the abandoned crown prince to Chu Yixuan. Chu Yixuan was surprised: "Half way disappeared? Then what about Feng Qingmo? "
"Your Highness, Qingmo, he …" It's also gone. "
"Feng Qingmo also disappeared?" Chu Yixuan could not help but furrow his brows, "They disappeared together?"
"And they may have been gone for almost a day."
"What's going on?" Chu Yixuan stood up, "Why did you disappear for a whole day, and only came to tell me now?"
Mou Qing hurriedly lowered his head, and said: "This subordinate does not dare to confirm whether the news is real or not, so I specifically went to check it out, and after confirming it, I anxiously returned to report it to the Duke!"
Chu Yixuan's brows twitched, he slowly sat down, and his tone became much colder: "Could it be that Feng Qingmo will save abandoned crown prince?"
"No, that shouldn't be the case," Mou Qing said hurriedly. "With this subordinate's understanding of Qingmo, he wouldn't easily involve himself in the battle for power."
"With your knowledge of him?" Chu Yixuan sneered, "If you really understand him, under the Xu’s Medical Center, you won't fall for him, and all of you will fall under his hands."
Mou Qing was at a loss for words. He was startled, then said with lowered eyes: "At that time, this subordinate's entire face was covered. Presumably, he treated us as Cheng Feng's people."
Chu Yixuan frowned in doubt. "Even if he was masked, he shouldn't be able to recognize you, right?"
Mou Qing said softly, "This subordinate... "I don't dare guarantee anything, but I believe Qingmo. Since he promised His Highness, he definitely wouldn't do anything to oppose His Highness."
Chu Yixuan's eyes were dark and after a long while, the coldness in his eyes slowly dissipated. He waved his hand: "Try to contact him.
Mou Qing hurriedly said: "This subordinate is also worried about his safety."
Chu Yixuan nodded his head, "If anything happens to him, I will think of ways to save him from danger."
Mou Qing heaved a sigh of relief: "Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
Mou Qing's figure disappeared and Chu Yixuan slowly sat back on the bed. He reached out to touch the mechanism on the bed, but the moment he touched the mechanism, he hesitated for a moment before retracting it.
