So, the honorable Crown Prince occupied the big bed alone.

Xu Xingyin, who had worked hard to clean up for a long time, didn't even get a corner of the bed.

Fortunately, there were extra beddings in the room. Xu Xingyin gritted his teeth, picked up another quilt, made a bed on the floor, and went to rest.

Perhaps because he was too busy during the day, Xu Xingyin slept very soundly that night.

Xu Xingyin has always had the habit of staying in bed, while Jing Zhichen is used to getting up early because of his martial arts practice.

Therefore, when Jing Zhichen opened his eyes, he saw Xu Xingyin sleeping soundly.

Xu Xingyin was sleeping on a makeshift mat on the floor wrapped in a quilt. The sleeping girl did not look as eloquent as usual.

Her face, which was slightly chubby, had a slight curve and her thick eyelashes fluttered in a small arc. She looked like a quiet lady from a noble family.

Among the three thousand beauties in Emperor Yanning's harem, there are all kinds of beauties, so Xu Xingyin is not really considered a beauty in Jing Zhichen's eyes, but...

This girl is surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

Just as Jing Zhichen was thinking, he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He, I'm here to bring you some food."

The lady who came to deliver the food had a very loud voice, and her voice made Xu Xingyin jump up from the ground. In order to avoid being exposed, he quickly grabbed the quilt and rushed to the bed.

Jing Zhichen was bumped into by the little girl without paying attention.

Therefore, when the old lady pushed the door open, what she saw was the woman timidly throwing herself into the man's arms.

The man was half leaning on the bed with a smile on his lips. Perhaps he was shy because of her sudden intrusion, so he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had delayed other people's good things. She put the things on the table and quickly retreated.

As soon as the old lady left, the two people who were pretending to be intimate ran away.

Fortunately, both of them slept in their clothes yesterday, so it wasn't too awkward at the moment.

It's okay for Jing Zhichen to be so shameless, but Xu Xingyin is not. He just laughed dryly to ease the embarrassment.

"This...breakfast is pretty early, huh?"

"Ah."

Jing Zhichen responded lightly and nothing else happened.

There was no one around, so the situation of a single man and a single woman in such a small space became even more awkward.

Xu Xingyin sat down awkwardly. He picked up the cake on the table and before he could put it into his mouth, Jing Zhichen threw something at him and it flew away.

"You dare to eat anything, you really want to die."

Only then did Xu Xingyin realize the meaning of Jing Zhichen's actions, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body.

It is really inappropriate to lose your clarity of mind because of momentary shyness!

If a thief takes advantage of the opportunity, I will have no place to cry.

As expected, I was too careless!

Seeing that Xu Xingyin's face was pale, Jing Zhichen didn't blame her anymore. He just called out "Aoying" softly, and someone brought in breakfast through the window.

Ao Ying swiftly cleaned up the food brought by the old lady, pretended to have eaten it, and climbed out through the window again. His movements were so smooth that it didn't seem like it was the first time he had done such a thing.

After Ao Ying left the room, Jing Zhichen got out of bed slowly, walked to the table and sat down naturally opposite Xu Xingyin, preparing to eat with a dignified attitude.

The breakfast prepared by Aoying was quite rich, with cakes, porridge, and side dishes. It was quite amazing that he could prepare it so well in such a remote place.

Xu Xingyin is actually a very easy person to satisfy. Just feed her and she'll be fine.

So after breakfast, Xu Xingyin expressed his satisfaction and happily took credit for Ao Ying in front of Jing Zhichen.

"It can be seen that Aoying has come to serve the palace... Well, I serve you with all my heart, and you should reward me well in the future."

"You are the one who is satisfied, why am I the one who has to pay the money?"

Jing Zhichen pointed to the empty plates on the table and said, "Most of them are what you ate."

"..."

Xu Xingyin curled his lips and complained softly: "I've never seen such a stingy prince."

"I've never seen a girl who eats so much."

……

The days in Lifeng Town passed by with the two people arguing day after day.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the month, and the people who came to investigate the case became more alert.

As the day was approaching, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from others, Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin did not dare to sleep in separate beds.

So he piled up the quilts in the middle, dividing the bed, which was not very big to begin with, into two parts.

Xu Xingyin had a habit of hugging something before sleeping to feel safe. Now, with this as the case, he was afraid that he might lose control and hug something he shouldn't, so he was so tense that he couldn't sleep well at night.

Du Huaigu had prepared pills for the two of them early on, and poisons such as sleeping pills would be useless to them if they took them in advance.

All medicines are poisonous, so they did not start using it until the fifteenth day. Jing Zhichen even broke the medicine into two halves, so they only took half the dose each time.

The two took the medicine for three days in a row. The thief came on the night of the 18th. He carefully poked the window paper open to let the smoke into the house. After a while, when the drug was about to take effect, he tiptoed into the house.

There were four thieves in total, and one could tell from their movements that they had good martial arts skills. They quietly walked to the bed, and seeing two people sleeping soundly on the bed, they spat with disdain.

"Bah! Dog man and woman!"

"..."

"..."

The two people on the bed remained silent, but the other man in black impatiently slapped the man who was speaking.

"Stop talking so much, kidnap this bitch! She has a nice face, but her virginity is broken, so she's not worth much."

That man was probably the leader of these people, and when he spoke, the people around him didn't dare to say anything more.

He stretched out his hand past Jing Zhichen and was about to pull Xu Xingyin inside, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by someone.

The thief was very frightened. He looked carefully and found that the man on the bed was awake. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, making people dare not look directly at him.

Before he could fight back, he saw a group of experts breaking into the room through the window, and the entire room became brightly lit in an instant.

The girl who was "sleeping" just now yawned and stood up. Except for her hair, her clothes were neatly dressed.

Seeing this, how could they not realize that they had been tricked, and they immediately started fighting with the group of people inside.

Although the thieves were quite skilled, the people around Jing Zhichen were not ordinary people either. The battle didn't last long before all the thieves were captured.

After all, it is not good for a girl to get involved in these matters, so Xu Xingyin was having her hair tied up by Danfeng's help. Since she had caught the thief, there was no need to pretend to be one, and Danfeng just had to choose a good-looking one to put on her hair.

Xu Xingyin didn't pay much attention to Danfeng. He just listened to the interrogation of the man by Song Tuiguan. The gang of thieves kept their mouths shut and didn't let out a single word.

"Pfft - Miss Xu Qi, you are so gorgeous."
