"That's right, it's a snake! When You Guang was a child, he was in poor health and had a deep bond with snakes since childhood!
I remember at that time, when the servants in the palace found a snake and were afraid it would hurt people, they called a group of servants to surround and capture it.
Just then, You Guang happened to pass by and saw it. When the snake crawled towards You Guang, everyone was afraid it would bite him.
But he wasn't scared at all. Instead, he saved it. It was really amazing.
From then on, he liked snakes very much and would talk to them from time to time.
However, because of his poor health, the emperor didn't care about him, and the people in the palace were even more indifferent to him. So he was a lonely person and didn't often interact with others...
But An Yao was an exception to him. Since childhood, whenever he was bullied, An Yao would protect him. So their relationship has been very good since they grew up!
Who would have thought that he would be involved in this incident..."
Si Hongxi simply recalled You Guang's childhood and couldn't believe what he had done.
Hearing this, Bai Chen seemed even more certain that the snake - bodied monster was the Second Prince he was talking about!
"It seems that he has merged with that snake demon. Judging from his appearance, his illness should have been cured long ago. He just pretended to be ill in the palace to avoid suspicion!" Bai Chen analyzed.
"Indeed, this kind of situation is not uncommon. As long as one is in the palace, there will be constant power struggles and intrigues, especially among the princes vying for the throne. What he did was just a kind of protection for himself. On the surface, he was a sickly and non - ambitious person, but actually he was secretly framing court officials, forming cliques and trying to rebel against the court! He's really not to be underestimated!"
When saying this, a cold look flashed in Si Hongxi's eyes.
"Even so, in your current physical condition, you can't do anything. Take good care of your injuries and don't let all of us who have made efforts for you down!" Bai Chen said coldly.
Then he pulled Wan Ruo and left.
When they reached the door, Bai Chen seemed to remember something and suddenly picked Wan Ruo up.
Only then did Wan Ruo realize that her feet were already completely healed!
"Put me down. I can walk by myself! Don't take advantage of me!" Wan Ruo said angrily.
Bai Chen frowned. Feeling that he had been discovered, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just then, thunder roared in front of the door, and soon it started to drizzle.
Wan Ruo was stunned and frowned slightly. "This rain came so suddenly!"
"It seems that fate is hard to go against!" Bai Chen said triumphantly.
He put Wan Ruo down, took off his coat, covered it on Wan Ruo's head, picked her up again and walked quickly in the heavy rain. He slowed down when they were almost at Wan Ruo's residence.
"You're walking so slowly. We'll be soaked through!" Wan Ruo asked puzzledly, seeing Bai Chen walking as if he was taking a stroll.
"Wouldn't that be just right? We can take a bath together when we get back!" Bai Chen smiled wickedly and felt secretly happy.
I haven't held her enough. If it weren't for fear that she would get sick, I really wanted to walk like this forever!
Wan Ruo: "..."
As soon as Bai Chen carried Wan Ruo into the room, he saw a bathtub already prepared in the room with steam rising from it.
Wan Ruo was wondering why there was a prepared bathtub. Was it really just what he had thought?
"Plop!" Before Wan Ruo could react, Bai Chen had already thrown her into the bathtub.
At this time, Wan Ruo emerged from the water filled with flower petals. Her whole body was soaked, and the thin veil was casually sticking to her body, outlining her curvy figure.
"Bai Chen! You... Are you crazy?" Wan Ruo angrily questioned.
At this time, Bai Chen had taken off his wet clothes. His strong and well - built body was revealed in front of Wan Ruo. His powerful arms, firm chest muscles and eight - pack abs that made people's nose bleed. Oh my god!
What a charming creature! Wan Ruo was instantly stunned, swallowed hard, and embarrassedly covered her face. She stammered, "What are you doing? Can you pay a little attention?"
Wan Ruo covered her eyes with one hand and pointed up and down at Bai Chen's body with the other.
Bai Chen looked at his charming figure and fell into deep narcissism. "What's wrong? Is my figure too attractive? Can't you stand it?"
He bent down, gently removed the hand that Wan Ruo had used to cover her eyes, and said wickedly, "Don't be shy. I'm all yours, not to mention this body?"
At this time, Bai Chen looked at Wan Ruo in front of him. Her face was slightly red from the steam, and the thin veil on her body fluttered on her fragrant shoulders, half - covering the spring scenery on her chest, which made people even more fascinated.
"Are you ready? I'm coming in!" Bai Chen said teasingly.
What? "You you you... No, don't, it's not okay..." At this time, Wan Ruo nervously blurted out all the rejection words that came to her mind!
"Pfft!" Bai Chen almost burst out laughing.
At this time, Bai Chen had already got into the bathtub. The bathtub was not small, and it was just right for two people.
Bai Chen leaned against the edge of the bathtub, spreading out his arms and enjoying the comfort of taking a bath.
"What? Are you so afraid of me?" Bai Chen propped his head with his hand, stared at her charmingly and asked teasingly.
"No, why should I be afraid of you?" Wan Ruo pretended to be calm and looked at him.
"Since that's the case, why don't you take off your clothes? It seems a bit strange to take a bath in your clothes! Do you want me to help you?" Bai Chen said playfully.
Hearing this, Wan Ruo immediately covered her chest with both hands. "Well, I've finished taking a bath!" After saying that, Wan Ruo was about to get up and leave.
As soon as she got up, the thin veil floating in the water instantly stuck tightly to her body, outlining her curvy figure.
Bai Chen grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Wan Ruo accidentally bumped into his arms, and her back leaned against his firm chest due to inertia. She was shocked and her face instantly turned red.
At this time, Bai Chen wrapped his arms around Wan Ruo's body and hugged her from behind.
At that moment, Wan Ruo instantly felt numb all over, as if she had been electrocuted. She quickly struggled out of Bai Chen's embrace nervously and sat in the opposite direction.
She shyly looked at Bai Chen. At this time, she was more like a frightened little rabbit.
Seeing this, Bai Chen couldn't help laughing and said helplessly, "What should I do? My Ruo Ruo is really cute! Do you feel uncomfortable taking a bath with me?"
Seeing that Wan Ruo didn't say anything, "Okay, I understand!"
Then he got up and walked out. "I've finished taking a bath. You can take your time. Don't worry anymore!"
Wan Ruo watched Bai Chen drying his body and almost had a nosebleed. She felt relieved when she saw him walking towards the bed.
After Wan Ruo took a comfortable bath, seeing that he was motionless on the bed, she nervously got out of the bathtub and changed into clean clothes.
She walked to the bed and saw that Bai Chen lying on the bed was already asleep.
It seems that he is really tired. He consumed so much spiritual power, didn't rest and even helped deal with Man Man's funeral. He must have worked really hard.
Wan Ruo bent down. Looking at his delicate face, she couldn't help but want to kiss him. Just as she got closer to his face and was almost about to touch his lips, Wan Ruo widened her eyes. He... was actually awake?
