"Really, really no need?"
Zi Yuan hesitated and looked towards the tent. "I saw that the young lady's dress is almost being ripped off..."
"Normal. Our mistress and the prince are like newlyweds after a short separation. Young people get carried away with their emotions. As the saying goes, bedroom affairs..." Xiao Ling covered his chubby cat paws over his mouth, peeked furtively at the tent, and snickered.
"Maybe our mistress will give me a little master... Oh, if there's really another little master, I'm afraid I can't handle it. It's already a handful keeping an eye on our mistress. I hope the little master will take after Prince Helan..."
As he spoke, Xiao Ling quickly shook his head. "Oh no, no. Prince Helan looks so cold with a straight face. Then it's better for the little master to be more like our mistress..."
Zi Yuan watched as Xiao Ling frowned and pouted. The expressions on his chubby face were quite rich.
Zi Yuan pursed her lips slightly, blinked in confusion, and asked, "Xiao Ling, how do you know so much?"
Xiao Ling blushed. "I... I read it all from the storybooks. What else could it be..."
"Oh, I thought you had personal experience..."
Xiao Ling's face turned bright red. "Sister Zi Yuan, don't talk nonsense. I'm still a kid..."
Inside the tent.
Feng Yunshu was still struggling when she was directly thrown onto the makeshift couch in the tent. She bounced a little on it.
"Helan Yanting, you—"
Before Feng Yunshu could get up, her mouth was blocked as soon as she opened it. His palm grasped her slender waist. Since her waist was directly exposed, the moment their skins touched, Feng Yunshu felt the burning heat from his palm, as if it was going to melt her skin.
Soon, his palm became restless. It slowly moved up along her slender waist and graceful curves...
Then, suddenly, her chest felt cold. Feng Yunshu was pressed under him, trapped by this solid wall, just like Bai Suzhen suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, with nowhere to hide.
"Your Highness, you're pressing on me... Um..."
Helan Yanting didn't know what was wrong with himself. Originally, he just wanted to tease her, but when his fingers touched her smooth and delicate skin, he seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool and involuntarily got trapped in it.
His blood was boiling, and his hot male hormones were surging. The fair - skinned woman under him was like a delicious delicacy, like a flower with dewdrops just blooming in the early morning, waiting to be picked...
"Um..."
Feng Yunshu heard the groan from her nasal cavity. Her mind was in a turmoil, shocked by her own reaction. What's wrong with me...
The last bit of consciousness in Feng Yunshu's mind tried to push away Helan Yanting's wandering hands, but unexpectedly, he grabbed her hand instead. He stepped his strong legs to clamp her slender ones, making her unable to move at all.
Her clothes were getting fewer and fewer. Feng Yunshu suddenly felt the heat moving towards her lower body. She tried to struggle and wriggled her body. As a result, Helan Yanting trembled all over, and his breath and body became even hotter.
"Madam, if you keep doing this, I won't be able to control myself..."
"Your, Your Highness, you..." Feng Yunshu had a feeling that what was about to happen next would be beyond her control.
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard Xiao Ling's somewhat anxious voice in her mind. "Mistress, mistress, something's wrong! Brother Qingzhu seems to be in trouble!"
Feng Yunshu suddenly regained her senses from this indulgence. At the same time, her two hands were already between herself and Helan Yanting, interrupting what he was about to do.
"Your Highness, wait a minute. Something's wrong!"
Helan Yanting was also hot - headed. After hearing Feng Yunshu's voice, his body paused slightly. His eyes were a bit deep. He supported his hands on both sides of Feng Yunshu's body, trapping her in his chest.
At this time, a few strands of Feng Yunshu's black hair were sticking to her blushing fair skin, and her red lips were slightly parted. At this moment, she was like a red enchantress quietly blooming in the dark night.
At this time, Feng Yunshu was completely different from her usual clever and mischievous self. She released the unique charm of a young woman to the extreme. Usually, she was already enough to make Helan Yanting like her very much. Now, this different kind of charming her was even more irresistible.
Feng Yunshu didn't know how much effort Helan Yanting had spent to calm down his disordered and rapid breathing. She just listened to his breathing gradually becoming steady, and the blush on his face gradually fading. She watched these changes in him and didn't dare to move at all.
After a while, Helan Yanting returned to normal. Before getting up, he pinched her soft cheek. "I'll spare you this time. But you started the fire and didn't put it out for me. My body is really hurt."
As he spoke, Helan Yanting pursed his lips and blinked at Feng Yunshu with a wronged look on his face.
Feng Yunshu didn't know whether what he said was true or just an act. Just thinking about the scene just now, her heart was about to jump out.
"Your Highness, something really happened."
"Hmm, what could make you so flustered?"
"Just now, Xiao Ling sent a message to me saying that Qingzhu is in trouble." At this point, Feng Yunshu remembered what Xiao Ling and Zi Yuan had said before and quickly asked Helan Yanting.
"Your Highness, before, I heard Xiao Ling and Zi Yuan say that Qingzhu talked to you for a while. Not long after, he suddenly left without saying goodbye and couldn't be found anywhere. I don't know what's going on. So what did you talk to him about?"
Helan Yanting's face darkened slightly, and his expression was a bit complicated. He didn't say a word for a long time. Feng Yunshu had a bad feeling when she saw his reaction. Her heart skipped a beat. "Your Highness, could Qingzhu's leaving really have something to do with you?"
Helan Yanting shook his head. Feeling that Feng Yunshu might misunderstand him, he hesitated for a long time and then told her the general content of his conversation with Qingzhu before.
After listening carefully, Feng Yunshu's expression changed. She looked at Helan Yanting meaningfully. "Oh... So it was because of Brother Qingzhu that you came to find me..."
"I thought you finally realized your own problems and came to find me on your own. It turns out it was all because of Brother Qingzhu. It sounds like if Brother Qingzhu hadn't said those words, you wouldn't have come to find me."
Helan Yanting heard the awkwardness in Feng Yunshu's words. He smiled helplessly and shook his head. "Have you known me for so long and still don't trust me?"
"Hmm?"
"Do I look like the kind of person who will change his mind easily because of others' words?"
"So?"
"Even if he didn't say that, I would still come to find you."
"Okay, okay. I believe you. I believe you, okay? You're so eager to explain... Am I going to eat you?"
Feng Yunshu quickly returned to the previous topic. "It seems that Qingzhu's disappearance has nothing to do with you, Your Highness. Did you notice anything strange about Brother Qingzhu at that time?"
Helan Yanting shook his head. "I didn't notice anything wrong. I think if something happened to him, it might have happened after that."
While they were talking, Zi Yuan rushed in with Xiao Ling in her arms. When she entered the tent, Feng Yunshu had already tidied herself up.
"Xiao Ling, Zi Yuan, what on earth happened? What's wrong with Qingzhu?"
"When we returned to the tent, we saw an extra note in it. There was also a hairpin tied to the note. We recognized at a glance that the hairpin was the one Brother Qingzhu wore in his hair."
"Note? Where is it? Let me see."
