Chapter 21: Sleeping Together

  Demon Doctor's Crazy Consort

  Shen Yunxi withdrew her hand from his without leaving any trace, and said coldly, "Prince Wang, didn't I make myself clear just now?"

  Feng Qingchen turned around, glanced at her empty hand, and then looked up to ask her. Under the lamp light, her face was full of guard. He slightly opened his thin lips and said: "Could it be that you think I want to share a bed with you?"

  Shen Yunxi pursed her lips, and the answer was self-evident.

  Upon seeing this, Feng Qingchu's lips curled up slightly, as if he was helpless. Then he said: "I originally wanted you to go to bed and rest, but forget it. Go prepare two quilts for me instead." After finishing speaking, he turned around and leaned back on the chair in the room.

  Shen Yunxi saw this, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she called out: "Prince Wang?"

  Feng Qingchen raised his head and looked at Shen Yunxi with a suspicious expression. He smiled lightly, and such a smile was truly enough to make any woman feel stunned.

  And then there was the intense shock.

  This appearance, if let outsiders see it, would truly be unbelievable. The brutal and inhumane war god of Tianqi Country from the rumors, when did he ever show such a dazzling smile?

  It's no wonder Shen Yunxi had a moment of distraction when he saw Feng Qingchen looking like this.

  Feng Qing leaned lazily against the back of the chair, her posture exuding elegance. She gazed at Shen Yunxi and smiled slightly as she said, "Your Highness's expression is quite peculiar; are you feeling surprised or disappointed?"

  Shen Yunxi came back to her senses and shook her head, "It's not that, it's just that I don't understand. Since we've already made our point clear, why does the prince still want to stay at Suishou Pavilion?"

  Feng Qingchu let out a soft sigh and said, "I originally thought that the queen's expression was one of disappointment because she hadn't shared a bed with me yet. I didn't expect it to be this kind of thinking instead. It seems that I'm the one who should be disappointed."

  He spoke as if nothing was wrong, but his face genuinely showed an extremely disappointed expression.

  This person is indeed a difficult-to-fathom individual. However, in the depths of those ink-black eyes, there still lingered a hint of faint smile.

  Jingfeng Qingchen said so, Shen Yunxi did not have any words or other expressions, but stood under the yellow lamp light looking at him, quietly waiting for his explanation behind.

  Then, he heard Feng Qing say in a light and gentle voice: "Actually, I insisted on staying in the Shui Yu Xuan, not for any other profound meaning, but just to give some hints to those who are disrespectful to you in this palace, so that it will be easier for you to move around and do things in the palace in the future."

  In other words, it's helping her secure the position of princess. Sounds moving, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong person or should I say, the wrong timing.

  If there hadn't been the unpleasantness of yesterday, perhaps things would have turned out differently. But some things, once they've happened, can't be so easily erased. It's like a sheet of paper that's been folded - no matter how hard you try to smooth it out, it will never return to its original shape.

  Moreover, the queen's position is not something she needs, but at this moment, she cannot refuse him either. Because no matter how much she says, it will be of no use. He has just made his stance clear and insists on doing so!!

  Since it was so, she went along with his wishes. Moreover, this matter for her, indeed had no drawbacks.

  Earlier, she had been the target of all those arrows, but it was just to probe his intentions. At this time, he had already shown that she couldn't see any weaknesses in him, so she could only temporarily go along with him.

  There is a saying "time reveals one's true character", so she wanted to see what he truly intended with this change today.

  Thinking so, she nodded slightly to Feng Qingchen, "Your Highness, please wait for a moment, I'll go get the quilt for you."

  Having finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door.

  Behind him, Feng Qingchen still sat on the chair, his deep eyes following Shen Yunxi's departing figure.

  The smile, at the moment Shen Yunxi's figure disappeared, vanished without a trace. The beautiful and cold face of Shura was filled with a chilling aura, and his eyes, which were once cold and proud, had also been filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

  Shen Yunxi, this game has just begun!

  I hope you won't let me down, otherwise it won't be fun!

  After half a cup of tea, Shen Yunxi carried the quilt back to her room. Feng Qingchen saw her come in and instantly regained her composure, her face and eyes returning to their previous state.

  "Why not call the maid in the house?" Feng Qingchen said, getting up and taking the quilt from Shen Yunxi's arms, which had already reached her forehead, and putting it on the table. Although his tone was still somewhat cold, careful listening could detect the rich concern inside.

  "It's nothing, just a small matter." Shen Yunxi still seemed to be unaccustomed to Feng Qingchen's gentle tone and hesitated for a moment before responding. Then, she picked up a quilt and began to make the couch.

  Very soon, the bed was laid out. Shen Yunxi raised her head and said to Feng Qingchen: "Your Highness, please rest." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked towards the bed, not saying anything more.

  Looking at Shen Yunxi lying on the bed, he slightly frowned and pointed to the couch with his slender fingers, saying: "Let this king sleep on the couch, doesn't the queen think it's not proper?"

  Shen Yunxi covered himself with the quilt, looked up at him and shook his head, saying: "Isn't this what the prince asked for himself?" A simple sentence threw the question back.

  Feng Qingchen heard this and pursed her lips, seemingly very helpless, nodded slightly, then walked towards the couch.

  Shen Yunxi glanced at Feng Qingchen lightly and then fell asleep inwardly.

  On the table, the candle flame swayed in the wind, making a "squeaky" sound, casting a dim yellow light throughout the room.

  After a long time, Feng Qingchen opened her deep-set eyes and looked at Shen Yunxi who was sleeping inwardly on the bed, asking softly: "Asleep?"

  "After a while, Shen Yunxi's light voice finally sounded: 'No.'"

  In the room, a man suddenly appeared, and what's more, he was a mysterious person with unknown intentions. How could she possibly fall asleep so easily?!

  After a soft hum of assent from Feng Qing, the room fell silent once again.

  When the candle was about to burn out, he asked again: "Has Ning Meng's case made any progress?"

  "Hmm..." Shen Yunxi seemed to not want to say anything, and only hummed a response. Before Feng Qingchen could speak again, she continued: "Prince Wang should get some rest, there's still much to be done tomorrow. As for Ning Meng's case, I'll call upon Prince Wang when the results are out."

  The implication was already very obvious. She didn't want to say more to him, and as clever as he was, he naturally understood perfectly.

  Feng Qingchen gazed at her back, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and didn't say another word, but those ink-colored eyes were deeply sunk in a terrifying manner.

  ……

  Early in the morning, a gust of autumn wind blew by, and several Osmanthus leaves floated slowly into the house, looking particularly charming under the morning light.

  Shen Yunxi sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her brow, perhaps because of Feng Qingchen's involvement, she slept soundly all night, and didn't even know when she fell asleep.

  "Miss." The sound of knocking on the door came from outside.

  "Come in."

  Shuang'er carried the washbasin, pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Shen Yunxi's tired look, she put down the basin on the rack while asking: "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?"
