The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

 “Prince Ouyang, Prince Ouyang!” Murong Xue walked to the bed and whispered.

Ouyang Shaochen kept his eyes closed and had no reaction at all.

She frowned. At first, she thought after taking the antidote pill and removing the remaining poison, he would leave the Falling Snow Pavilion  and return to his own mansion. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep directly in her bed. What could she do?

Called him up and drove him away? His residual poison had not been completely removed and it was not suitable for him to walk for the time being. However, she did not know whether the man would have a long sleep…

Looking out of the window at the increasingly dark sky, Murong Xue sighed heavily: She might let him rest here for a night. There was a soft couch at the window, on which she could also sleep well.

Thinking about this, Murong Xue went behind the folding screen and fitted with a basin of warm water, soaked a white cotton handkerchief, and gently wiped Ouyang Shaochen’s cheek with it. She liked to bathe before sleeping, washing away the tiredness and dust of the day. Ouyang Shao Chen, who loved everything clean, must bathe every day. However, he was asleep now and could not do that. Thus, she helped him wipe his cheeks and hands.

The warm cotton handkerchief stroked slowly on his cheek, that kind of warm and comfortable was marvelous for words. The eyes under his eyelids turned slightly but he restrained the  motions instantly!

Murong Xue did not see it. She wiped his hands, threw the cotton handkerchief into the basin, carefully took off his boots, and moved his feet hanging outside into the bed.

Her white and small hand leaned toward his waist, and when her fingertips touched his belt, her bright little face was dyed with two reds.

Single men and women were not allowed to have intimate contact in ancient times. So it was not appropriate for a woman like her to take off his dress. Worrying about Ouyang Shao Chen would feel uncomfortable, she just took off his coat. This was not beyond the rules, thought she.

After loosening his belt and buckle, she gently picked up his shoulder so as to take off his robe. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shao Chen suddenly turned to inside to make her arms too late to withdraw. Her whole person was brought down by him and fell to the inside of the big bed!

On the touch of the soft brocade mattress on her back, Murong Xue was shocked and was preparing to turn over and sitting up. However, the man suddenly turned over again. His slender body pressed against her, blocking her petite figure.

His strong chest was close at her hand, the faint pleasant scent of ink and bamboo lingering on the tip of her nose, making her feel dazzled. However, Murong Xue was nearly out of breath under his heavy body. She protested angrily, “Ouyang Shao Chen, I’ve been pressed by you…”

Ouyang Shao Chen was still lying motionless, making her confused at whether he was in deep sleep or just pretend to sleep.

Murong Xue glared at him. Her head and arms turned left and right, looking everywhere for a gap to breathe. After much effort, she finally broke free the man’s lock. Pinching his cheeks hard on both sides, she threatened ferociously, “Ouyang Shao Chen, wake up… If you don’t open your eyes, I’ll crush your face…”

Ouyang Shao Chen’s handsome face was pinched out of red marks and he felt slight pain. He coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes. There were a faint confusion and doubt in his dark pupil, “What’s the matter?”

“You are playing dumb!” Murong Xue threw her punch angrily and hit him at his temple. She heard that hitting that part would make people painful so she tried.

With a strong and sharp wind blowing right against the face, Ouyang Shao Chen’s black eyebrow puckered and reached for her wrist. His obsidian eyes flashed with seriousness, “Don’t be angry, I’ll be responsible for you!”

Be responsible? The same words again? Upon hearing this, Murong Xue’s anger was even stronger, and she said fiercely, “Mind your own business!” She just wanted to give him a good beating to relieve her sulks.

Looking at her angry little face, Ouyang Shao Chen’s deep eyes dimmed slightly, she still didn’t understand his heart…

A breath suddenly quivered in his body. He covered his chest by hand and coughed violently.

“Are you all right?” Murong Xue quickly reached out her hand and patted him on the back with gentle strength.

“I’m fine…” Ouyang Shao Chen said lightly, coughing more violently and his moist thin lips slightly white.

“The residual poison in your body has not been removed and your breath is unstable. Lie down and rest!” Murong Xue said hastily, and pressed the man to the bed. When she was about to cross his body and get out of bed, Ouyang Shao Chen suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, “Where’re you going?”

“To get you a glass of water.” Murong Xue looked at him and answered softly.

“I’m not thirsty. After carrying me all the way, you must be tired. Lie down and have a rest.” said Ouyang Shao Chen lightly. He held Murong Xue’s small waist, pulled her back to the bed, the other arm reached under her neck, as a pillow for her.

The faint ink and bamboo fragrance surrounded her. Murong Xue’s eyes flashed unnaturally. She was not used to sleeping with men, but Ouyang Shao Chen was sick and better not to get angry. She followed his advice and lay down with him, thinking she could leave when he fell asleep.

Gently turning around, Murong Xue stretched out an arm to gently pat Ouyang Shao Chen on the back, “Feel better?”

“Much better!” Ouyang Shao Chen nodded, his chin resting lightly on Murong Xue’s hair, the faint fire lotus fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, his mouth curved with a graceful radian, “It’s getting late, do you want to have dinner?”

“I’m not hungry!” Murong Xue shook her head. She didn’t feel hunger at all but a little tired. Carrying Ouyang Shao Chen all the way home was tiring, maybe she could have a little rest…

Murong Xue closed her eyes slightly. Feeling the strong heartbeat of the man in the ear like a beautiful lullaby, she unconsciously fell asleep!

Looking at her tired face, Ouyang Shao Chen gleamed with a smile: Clearly, he was the one who was poisoned and injured. How could Murong Xue sleep faster than he did?

The noise came from outside the window. Ouyang Shao Chen put his hand over Murong Xue’s ear and said coldly to the person outside, “Any progress?”

Xun Feng, dressed in black, appeared outside the window and said, “Shi Zi, we have found out it was Mo Bei imperial guard who attacked you and Murong Xue in the alley…”

Mo Bei imperial guard!

Ouyang Shao Chen’s obsidian pupil narrowed slightly, “Were they ordered by Qin Hao Yan?”

“Most likely!” Xun Feng replied in a low voice. Qin Hao Yan and Qin Yu Yan were the only ones in the capital of Qing Yan from Mo Bei. The guards of Mobei were basically brought by Qin Hao Yan. They listened to his orders. Although Qin Yu Yan was the Princess of Mo Bei, after the serious injury, she was not likely to mobilize so many guards…
