Chapter 17: So careful, but still fooled
Chapter 17: So careful, but still fooled
"Could it be that I am not worthy of Miss Shen?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that it was my father's idea that I came to the banquet today. He asked me to remind the prince that now is a critical period to investigate the private gun shop case. Judging from the current situation, the prince is related to the private gun shop case. If you marry the Shen family at this time, everyone will think that the Dali Temple will be partial to the case in the future and will investigate the case to the end just to clear the prince of suspicion. So even if the prince is just a victim in the private gun shop case, it will cause unwarranted suspicion among the people, which will be disadvantageous to the prince."
Shen Zhishu lowered his head, his tone a little awkward.
But King Shuo heard it very clearly.
"What do you mean? Could it be that the Supreme Court has found the latest evidence to prove that the prince is innocent?"
His original intention was to marry Shen Zhishu, and Shen Wang helped him out of favoritism so that he could be cleared of the private gun factory case. Of course, he knew that if he did so, he would be suspected and people would not believe in his innocence.
It might also damage the image of a wise king that he has always maintained.
But this is much better than being accused of being the mastermind of a private gun factory and being imprisoned.
"Father said there was a guy named Song Yun, but he was a friend that the prince met when he was traveling?"
King Shuo was shocked.
"How did Lord Shen know?"
He didn't know, and Huang Gui naturally wouldn't bring it up for no reason. Moreover, in this case, Song Yun was only the leader, and Prince Shuo was the mastermind. Also, because Song Yun was the Princess of Qin's man, Prince Shuo had feelings for her, so he naturally wouldn't expose this person casually.
But all this must be done under the premise that King Shuo is also safe and sound. Now it is difficult to clear his suspicion, and she doesn't believe that he can really let the crime fall on himself for the sake of Princess Qin's people.
Shen Zhishu raised his head, also with a smile on his face.
Perhaps it was because of the change in King Shuo's attitude, or perhaps it was because she could use King Shuo's hand to get rid of Song Yun, her body, which was originally shivering from the cold, was slowly warming up at this moment, and even felt a little hot, and her heartbeat was involuntarily speeding up.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Princess Shuo estimated the time and returned to the guest room again.
Because King Shuo was in the house, she stood at the door and knocked.
This was a dishonorable thing to do and it concerned the reputation of King Shuo and Miss Shen, so she did not bring anyone here.
As long as it's done, we can prepare for the wedding.
But who would have known that it was King Shuo who opened the door, but there was no one in the house.
"My Lord, Miss Shen..."
"Who? I haven't seen anyone."
Princess Shuo was shocked.
Why did everything that was planned change?
At this time, Shen Zhishu was sitting in the carriage on his way back home.
After escaping from the tiger's mouth, King Shuo gave up the idea of marrying her. But before she could rejoice, she immediately noticed something wrong with her body.
The incense was clearly extinguished, why is this happening?
In her previous life, those men had force-fed her drugs countless times for pleasure. She knew too well what that felt like, and the intense discomfort made her uneasy.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the clinic?"
Bitao noticed something was wrong with the young lady and hurried to help her.
However, Shen Zhishu was already exhausted and collapsed on Bitao.
"Tell the driver to hurry up, enter through the back door, and go straight back to the yard."
She clenched her fists and bit her back teeth, trying her best not to make any strange noises, but she was trying too hard to hold it in and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Bitao also felt something unusual and didn't know what was wrong with the young lady, but she was very obedient and immediately told the driver to speed up.
This short distance seemed particularly long to Shen Zhishu.
When she finally arrived, she was almost half hanging on Bitao before she could barely make it back to the bedroom.
Her face was already flushed at this time.
"Miss……"
Especially when Bitao saw that her young lady's eyes were watery and the way she looked at her seemed to be seductive, no matter how slow her reaction was, she knew what was happening.
But that doesn't mean she can accept it.
How could the dignified King Shuo do such a despicable, shameless, dirty thing?
The true identity of King Shuo should be known to the whole world, but if that happens, wouldn't it ruin the young lady's reputation?
"I... want to... take a bath. Prepare... cold water. Go... get some ice."
Shen Zhishu couldn't help being so hot that he took off his clothes almost instinctively.
Seeing this, Bitao quickly lowered the bed curtain to block out the spring scene inside.
"Miss, please be patient for a moment. I will be back soon."
She ran out quickly and started working with all her might.
But no matter how fast she was, every minute and every second was torture for Shen Zhishu.
She lay on the bed, having taken off all her clothes. Her skin had turned pink and her eyes were blurry, as if she had lost consciousness.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly climbed over the wall and headed straight for the bedroom.
Shen Zhishu, who was in a daze, only felt that suddenly there were two eyes staring at him.
She forced herself to wake up and looked outside, only to see that the curtain that Bi Tao had pulled up had been lifted up at some point. That face seemed to be Yan Chu? But she couldn't believe it. How could he appear here for no reason?
But he didn't leave for a long time.
"Your Highness..."
Shen Zhishu didn't see it clearly, so he forced himself to get up and slowly stretched out his hand to him, wanting to confirm whether it was his illusion.
But when her hand was halfway in the air, it was ruthlessly slapped away. The sudden pain made her scream subconsciously.
"pain……"
But in Yan Chu's eyes, after she was drugged, even her cries of pain carried a different kind of temptation.
In fact, when he rushed in and saw her like this, he regretted coming.
But the person just stayed there.
Because the impact before me was too great.
It was as if the moment he saw her, he was the one who was drugged, the scene of him doing whatever he wanted to her that night, and all the feelings were magnified a thousand times.
And the hand she stretched out seemed to be pulling the rope of sin that would lead him to his downfall.
He didn't want to be pulled down, so he instinctively pushed her away.
But in the next second, he couldn't hold it anymore.
He leaned down slightly and looked at the woman in front of him who was in a state of confusion.
Apart from Su Rong, she was the only woman he had ever touched. He even wondered, what was the difference between once and twice?
Then, while he was stunned, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Yan Chu's rationality completely collapsed at that moment. He roughly hugged her slender waist and picked her up.
But at this moment, can she tell who is coming?
"Shu'er, who am I?"
He almost subconsciously asked a question that seemed ridiculous in retrospect.
Shen Zhishu sobered up a little because of his words. He actually called her "Shu'er"? Were they really that familiar?
"Your Highness Prince Qin... I..."
If it weren't for you, would I have been able to be so proactive without shouting or yelling?
Shen Zhishu was half crazy and half rational, and took the initiative to hug the man in front of her tightly.
