When Chu Ye saw Ning Yu turning around to leave, he stood up and said calmly:

"I haven't been able to take a good rest after riding the horse for a day. Miss Zhao must be tired too, so why don't I send you two back to the yard together with Mr. Chu?"

Seeing this, Zhao Yan couldn't stay any longer. She stood up and bowed to Chu Ye: "In this way, Yan'er has thanked Prime Minister Chu and Prince Yu."

Chu Ye's yard is adjacent to Ning Yu's yard. It seems that Ning Yu will go back to his room soon, and Chu Ye will be the only one to send him back to his room.

Zhao Yanru thought about this, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Several people walked out of the courtyard together. Ning Yu turned around to say goodbye to Chu Ye, but Chu Ye grabbed her hand.

Chu Ye left at the first touch, and Zhao Yan on the side didn't notice the two people's movements at all.

Ning Yu looked up in confusion, only to see Chu Ye saying calmly: "I am still a little unwell, Yu'er, please give me a hand."

Ning Yu looked at Chu Ye's handsome face suspiciously, and finally stepped forward to hold Chu Ye's arm.

Zhao Yan looked at Ning Yu's hands, her pupils narrowed slightly inadvertently, and the anger caused by jealousy flashed through her eyes.

There was a hint of imperceptible distortion in her gentle smile, and she said considerately: "If Chu Xiang is unwell, there is no need to send him away. Yan'er can just go back on her own."

Chu Ye was attached to Ning Yu's approach, but worried that he would be sleepy. He paused and said, "In that case, Chu will not send Miss Zhao off."

When Ning Yu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

She watched Zhao Yan's graceful figure turn the corner, and she was about to walk back while supporting Chu Ye.

But Chu Ye turned around and headed towards her yard.

Ning Yu said: "Master, you are not feeling well. Yu'er will accompany you back to your room."

Chu Ye stroked his dark eyebrows and said, "It's okay. I'll take you back to your room first."

Ning Yu still wanted to persist, so Chu Ye stretched out his big hand and gently supported Ning Yu's waist and pushed her forward: "Yu'er, be obedient. I will send you back to your room as soon as possible."

Ning Yu had no choice but to step through the courtyard gate first.

Chu Ye followed Ning Yu back to the room. Seeing that everything was in order, he left with satisfaction.

Back in his room, Chu Ye sat on the chair where Ning Yu had sat before. He carefully took out the string of white jade beads that Ning Yu had re-strung, and slowly began to stir.

He closed his eyes, and in his mind was Ning Yu's calm and glowing profile as she sat here.

Thinking of the dream that day, Chu Ye's heart was filled with ups and downs, and the beads in his hand were spinning rapidly.

I lost my composure several times today and almost failed to hold Ning Yu in my arms.

Thinking of this, Chu Ye frowned.

I'm afraid that little liar doesn't know what he thinks about him yet, and is only interested in flirting with others. Maybe he should find a chance to test it out.

Otherwise, if one day I couldn't help but show my face, I might scare Ning Yu.

As the sun set, the courtyard was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the string of beads in Chu Ye's hand slowly slowed down.

Not long after, a clever little maid came in with a lantern in her hand, and Chu Ye slowly opened his eyes.

The little maid stood outside the door and said softly: "Xiang Chu, I am here to invite you to the backyard hot spring on the order of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Ye put away the bead string, stood up and said casually: "Is Prince Jade pregnant?"

The little maid heard no sound in the yard next door, and said hesitantly: "I didn't hear the sound in the yard next door. Prince Jade probably hasn't gotten up yet."

Chu Ye held the corner of his clothes, picked up the change of clothes placed aside and walked out: "Let's go and have a look next door."

When the little maid saw Chu Ye coming out, she lowered her eyes and followed Chu Ye, and whispered yes.

When Chu Ye entered Ning Yu's courtyard first, he saw a little maid dressed the same as next to him, circling anxiously: "Prince Yu, are you awake? I have been ordered to come..."

The servants went to invite the masters together, but she could not invite the prince alone. The little maid could not imagine how the prince would deal with her.

Chu Ye quickly walked to the little maid and said calmly: "Go in and take a look. You two can just go out and wait."

The little maid, as if covered with ocher, respectfully retreated to the gate of the courtyard together with the previous little maid.

The door was quietly opened, and Chu Ye saw Ning Yu lying on her side on the bed, sleeping deeply.

Chu Ye has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he can see clearly in the dark.

I saw Ning Yu curled up slightly, holding a snow-white pillow in her arms, feeling deeply sleepy.

Perhaps because he was sleeping uncomfortably, the hosta on his head was thrown aside. His bun was loosely wrapped in a golden crown and hanging crookedly to the side.

The faint fragrance of green grass floated in the room, slowly surrounding Chu Ye. His Adam's apple rolled, and he walked softly to Ning Yu's side.

Chu Ye looked at Ning Yu for a long time, raised his hand and patted Ning Yu's shoulder gently: "Yu'er, wake up, I will take you to the hot spring in the backyard."

Ning Yu's ears twitched. She moved her arms in discomfort, grabbed Chu Ye's arm, and rubbed it vaguely.

"..."

Chu Ye's figure froze. He leaned over and looked at Ning Yu's side face, which was slightly pink due to her deep sleep. Ruyu couldn't help but caress it gently with her fingers.

The delicate and smooth touch made Chu Ye unable to stop. Chu Ye stared at Ning Yu's pink lips and rolled her Adam's apple.

After being silent for a long time, he finally leaned down and pressed a kiss on Ning Yu's forehead. He gently shook Ning Yu and said, "Yu'er, get up and follow me to the backyard to soak in the hot spring."

When Ning Yu heard the noise, her long curly eyelashes moved, and finally she opened a pair of dazzling eyes.

Ning Yu's white jade-like little face had a trace of confusion as if she had just woken up from sleep, and her dark eyes were full of sleepiness.

Chu Ye felt a little embarrassed by Ning Yu's clean eyes. He quickly turned his eyes away, but couldn't help but look back.

Ning Yu opened her eyes and saw someone sitting in front of her. She smelled a familiar scent in her nose. Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Ning Yu said with some uncertainty: "Master?!"

Chu didn't say anything. He just flicked his hand and the candles in the room lit up.

Ning Yu saw Chu Ye's forbearing profile clearly, and then realized that she was holding Chu Ye's arm tightly.

She hurriedly let go of Chu Ye and scratched her head in embarrassment: "Master, why are you here? But what do you want to see Yu'er for?"

Chu Ye stood up and straightened his sleeves, stood up and turned his back to Ning Yu and said:

"It's getting late. It's a good time to take a bath in the hot springs. His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to invite you. But you haven't woken up yet, so I'll call you."

There was a trace of imperceptible tension in Chu Ye's deep voice.

Ning Yu hurriedly stood up and said: "His Highness sent someone to invite you? I don't know anything about it."

Sure enough, after living comfortably for too long, all five senses were dulled; he didn't even know that someone was calling.

Ning Yu got up and felt the golden crown on her head swinging wildly. She stroked her shiny black hair with one hand and looked around the room for the hairpin.
