As expected, Chu Shaoyang didn't notice that they were hiding under the bed. When he saw that Shen Ning was missing from the bed, his first reaction was that she had been taken away.
He never thought that her people were still in the stone room, so he chased her out in anger.
When Chu Shaoyang's footsteps faded away and could no longer be heard, Zhui Feng emerged from the darkness where he had been hiding and screamed softly under the bed.
"Your Majesty, he's gone, let's leave quickly."
The bed curtain was lifted, and Chu Shaobai came out with Shen Ning in his arms. His clothes were slightly wrinkled, and his handsome face was flushed. Zhui Feng couldn't help but become suspicious.
"My lord, why are you blushing?" He asked directly as he couldn't hold back his words.
"Well, it's hot... There's no ventilation here, it's really too hot." Chu Shaobai blushed, hesitantly said, and couldn't help but raise the back of his hand to wipe his face.
But after wiping it, his face turned redder.
"Hot? But why don't you feel hot?" Zhui Feng became even more suspicious.
"You are a piece of wood, you don't know the cold and heat. Stop talking nonsense and let's get out of here quickly." Chu Shaobai hugged Shen Ning and strode out of the stone gate.
Zhui Feng was full of questions, so he had to keep them all in his mind and followed closely behind Chu Shaobai.
The two people left the secret passage and came to the rockery in the garden. When they heard Chu Shaoyang angrily ordering to find someone outside the rockery, the two people couldn't help but smile secretly.
The cool night wind blew on his cheeks, and Chu Shaobai felt that the heat on his cheeks slowly subsided.
But the young man's heart was still beating thumpingly.
A mysterious joy spread quietly in his heart. It was a secret that he could not tell, a secret that he would always keep buried in his heart, a secret that he would not share with anyone.
Just under the dark bed, when he heard Chu Shaoyang leaving the stone room, he realized that she could no longer hold her breath. Her body wrapped in brocade quilt was struggling hard in his arms, and he quickly released her hold. Hands on her mouth and nose.
She took a few breaths, stretched out her arms in a daze, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his face.
In the darkness, Chu Shaobai felt something soft and hot touching his cheek, and he was stunned.
He hugged her in a daze, as unresponsive as a clay sculpture. After a long time, until Zhui Feng's voice sounded outside, he came back to his senses and realized what had just touched his cheek.
Those were her lips, soft and warm, and the sweet scent of her lips was still on his cheek.
His heart softened into a pool of warm water, as if he heard the sound of flowers blooming, and his cheeks felt even hotter.
This dark and claustrophobic bed suddenly turned into a garden of his paradise.
He really wanted to hold her like this and stay here for the rest of his life.
However, his reason still defeated the desire in his heart. He understood that he was holding a girl that did not belong to him, and all his reveries were unrealistic dreams and fantasies that should not be had.
Even if she took the initiative to kiss him just now, it must have been her unconscious behavior, because he knew that the person she liked was not him at all.
He will keep this short but sweet secret and reflect on it alone.
"My lord, please go and distract their attention. You can take the opportunity to leave with the princess in your arms. King Dingyuan will definitely not notice you." Zhui Feng hid himself in the rockery and watched the guards in the palace walking around like headless flies. Searching, inspecting, almost lifting up the ground.
But no one thought that they were hiding at the entrance of the secret passage.
