Xia Sizhu walked in front of Dongfang Ye. Dongfang Ye raised his hand and placed it on top of Xia Sizhu's head. A wave of warmth spread out, and Xia Sizhu comfortably narrowed her eyes.

"Alright!" Dongfang Ye lowered his hand. That head of wet hair of Xia Sizhu's had already been dried by Dongfang Ye's inner force, including her clothes.

"Inner force can be used this way?"

When she came out from the shower, she found her hair to be too long. It was very strenuous to wipe it off, so she didn't wipe it off. She didn't expect Dongfang Ye to dry his hair after just using his inner force.

"Why are you looking for me?" Dongfang Ye didn't reply to Xia Sizhu's words.

"I'm sorry!" Xia Sizhu looked at Dongfang Ye for a long time before lowering her head. Her voice was as low as a mosquito's. If it wasn't for Dongfang Ye having good hearing, he wouldn't have heard her at all.

"Why did you say you were sorry?" Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows and apologized like a little wife, but he didn't know how to react.

"I shouldn't have stopped you from killing those imperial guards. Once they wake up, they will report to the emperor. When the emperor knows that you were the one who saved me, he will definitely be furious. You will be implicated by me."

At first, she didn't notice this problem, but later, she realized that she had made a very serious mistake.

"You don't have to blame yourself, even if those imperial guards didn't say anything, royal father would have found out, it was just a matter of time." The corner of Dongfang Ye's mouth raised slightly. It was rare to see Xia Sizhu being so docile.

"With your words, I'm not afraid." Xia Sizhu blinked her eyes as a bright light flashed.

Seeing that there was a plate of pastries beside Dongfang Ye's table, she went up very impolitely and carefully savored it. The hearty and happy Xia Sizhu didn't expect that a man would have such a cute plate of dessert in his study.

Dongfang Ye smiled as he watched Xia Sizhu eat the pastries. It seemed like she really liked eating the pastries of the Su-Ya Pavilion. When he got back, he would ask the Su-Ya Pavilion to make more and prepare them.

Dongfang Ye saw that the corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth was covered with crumbs, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away the crumbs for her.

"Grandpa, not good." Dong Fang Ye and Xia Sizhu turned at the same time to look at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng looked at the two people who were extremely close to him, and his gaze gradually shifted to Xia Sizhu's lips. This was because Dongfang Ye's hand had suddenly been placed on Xia Sizhu's lips.

Because of Xia Sizhu's sudden turn of the head, Dongfang Ye's hand just happened to brush across Xia Sizhu's lips. Feeling that fleeting softness, Dongfang Ye's heart skipped a beat. Facing Ling Feng's gaze, Dongfang Ye withdrew his hand without a trace.

"What is it?" "So impatient?" Dongfang Ye was slightly dissatisfied with Ling Feng's sudden intrusion.

"Master, the Crown Prince has led the imperial guards to surround the Night King's Mansion." Ling Feng was startled as he said anxiously.

"If we're going to surround him, let us surround him. What's there to be anxious about?" Dongfang Ye glanced at Ling Feng, blaming him for making such a big fuss out of it.

"Where is the Empress Dowager's convoy?" Dongfang Ye carefully wiped the crumbs around Xia Sizhu's mouth as he spoke indifferently.

"Master, the empress dowager's carriage is almost at the southern mausoleum. I believe it won't be long before they arrive." Ling Feng told them the news that he had found out.

"Then what's the rush? Let's go, Ah Zhu, let's go meet the crown prince." Dongfang Ye stood up and said while patting his clothes.

"Your Highness Night King, my name is Xia Sizhu. You can call me by my maiden name or you can call me Miss Xia, Miss Xia, and Miss Xia San. But can you not call me that?" I admit that you've saved me a few times, but we're not that familiar with each other yet! "

Xia Sizhu touched her slightly beating heart and suppressed the strangeness in it as she spoke indifferently. Just now, when Dongfang Ye had called out to her, there had been a moment where her heart had been bewitched.

"Alright, I understand. Ah Zhu, let's go!" Finished speaking, ignoring Xia Sizhu's objections, he signed her hand and walked out.

Xia Sizhu had tried many times, but to no avail. She could not pull her hand away from Dongfang Ye's, so she could only give up!

A girl's strength was indeed inferior to a man's. No matter how strong she was, Dongfang Ye could still easily control her.

Xia Sizhu and Dongfang Ye came out of the Night King's Mansion. Dongfang Ye was dressed in black and stood tall. Just by standing there, he overshadowed all the gazes from men.

Even the simple cloth on Xia Sizhu couldn't cover up her otherworldly temperament. Her exquisite face became even more beautiful as her eyes coldly swept over the crowd, causing them to be apprehensive.

Dongfang Ye held Xia Sizhu's hand. Both of them were dragons and phoenixes. Standing together, they were surprisingly harmonious, giving off the feeling that they were a perfect couple. Everyone present had the same feeling, but none of them dared to say it out loud.

"Su Qiu, how much longer until we arrive at the Southern Tomb?" On the other side, the empress dowager sat in the carriage and asked anxiously.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, it's about time." Su Qiu opened the curtain and said to the surrounding scenery.

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew over from not too far away. Su Qiu extended out his hand and placed the carrier pigeon in Su Qiu's hand.

"Empress Dowager, this is a secret message from a spy." Su Qiu took the letter from the carrier pigeon and handed it to the empress dowager.

"Why did this Ye Wang suddenly treat little girl so well? He actually intercepted little girl Zhu when she was being forced to the execution ground and even brought her to the mansion of the Ye King. Doesn't his mansion never welcome women?" Her Majesty looked at the contents of the letter with some surprise.

"No matter why he suddenly treated the little girl so well, it is a fact that he saved the little girl. He increased his speed, and after entering the city, he immediately went to the Night King's Manor." After thinking for a moment, Her Majesty instructed.

"Yes."

When the coachman at the door heard this, he forcefully swung the horsewhip in his hand and the speed of the carriage increased in an instant.

Xia Sizhu looked at Dong Fang Li, Dong Fang Hao, and the Great General Yan standing at the entrance. The corner of his mouth slightly twitched.

Seeing Dongfang Hao's eyes filled with worry, Xia Sizhu smiled faintly at him, indicating that she was fine and even winked.

The corner of Dongfang Hao's mouth lifted slightly as he looked at Xia Sizhu's playful expression. However, when he saw the two of them holding hands, the joy on his face gradually disappeared.

Dongfang Li kept looking at Xia Sizhu with a dark expression. Their marriage contract hadn't been broken yet, and she had already hooked up with her fourth brother, then with her second brother. This had really given him a lot of face.

Dongfang Ye noticed the interaction between Xia Sizhu and Dongfang Hao. He held Xia Sizhu's hand and squeezed it neither lightly nor heavily, causing Xia Sizhu to roll her eyes.

"Fourth brother, let go of me. Xia Sizhu is still your eldest sister-in-law." Seeing the two of them holding hands, Dongfang Li's eyes were dark.

"Sister-in-law? If This King is not mistaken, she just rejected the marriage at the banquet. " Dongfang Ye glanced at Dongfang Li, not putting his provocation in his eyes at all.

"Dongfang Li, I've already refused the marriage. It has nothing to do with you at all." Xia Sizhu sneered.

"Don't overdo it, Dongfang Ye. The marriage contract hasn't been broken. She's still my candidate to be the Crown Prince's wife. Even if I don't like her, I won't give her to you." Dongfang Li's eyes were filled with gloom. She looked at Xia Sizhu beside Dongfang Ye and continued speaking.

"In the future, when I'm tired of playing, I might give her to you. At that time, I don't know if you'll be willing to take a broken shoe!" Dongfang Li said with a sneer, her eyes full of ridicule.
