Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened, a flash of anger in them.
Xiao Yao was not foolish. After spending time together, she had discovered a secret.
That was, Prince Xuan had a strange feeling towards her, but she didn't know if this feeling was love or hate.
She even suspected that she might resemble a woman who had betrayed him in the past.
However, how could Prince Xuan's taste be so low? To have liked a woman who looked like her?
After all, her face was truly… difficult to describe.
It wasn't ugly, but it was definitely not beautiful.
He was the high and mighty, noble, and peerless God of War Prince Xuan!
Furthermore, whenever he seemed about to do something to her, as long as she mentioned one person, he would instantly lose all interest.
"Your Highness, at this hour, why not go accompany Her Majesty the Empress?"
Feng Yexuan's expression instantly stiffened.
But he did not miss the fleeting glint of triumph in Xiao Yao's eyes.
This wretched girl was so clever!
She knew that mentioning Li'er at this moment would make him flustered, agitated, and ultimately, he would leave!
In just a few days, had this wretched girl figured out his thoughts so thoroughly?
"You are trying your best to make me leave now, is it because you don't want me to see the secret on your bed?" he narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Yao felt a pang of unease, guilty!
But she quickly composed herself, raising a light and carefree smile.
"What secret could be on my bed? Your Highness, since… since you came for tea, then, shall I brew some for you?"
Damn him, always threatening her with the person on the bed!
This situation was truly bizarre.
He clearly knew there was someone on the bed, but he didn't expose it. Yet, the price for his silence was to constantly use this "suspicion" to force her into submission!
He was a scoundrel!
Expecting him to make trouble, she didn't expect Feng Yexuan to actually be somewhat obedient this time, returning to sit on a chair in the outer hall.
Xiao Yao was stunned, unable to react. Was this too "easy" for her?
However, she didn't want to cause any more trouble and quickly followed him.
From behind the screen, she couldn't help but glance back.
Fu Ning on the bed was still unconscious, not yet awake.
Xiao Yao withdrew her thoughts and walked to the table, taking out one of her wooden boxes.
"Your Highness, what kind of tea would you like?"
Feng Yexuan glanced at the wooden box: "Did Jin Rui give it to you?"
"Yes. But the flower tea inside is something I made myself."
Feng Jin Rui had given her tea leaves, and Xiao Yao had only taken a small portion, returning the rest to Feng Jin Rui.
However, she found the box very exquisite and perfect for storing flower tea.
"Your Highness, what would you like to drink?" she asked again.
Although the box mostly contained flower tea, it wasn't as if she didn't have any tea leaves if he wanted them.
However, Xiao Yao couldn't help but add a few more words: "It's late, drinking tea might affect your sleep. How about, Your Highness, I brew you some chrysanthemum tea?"
Feng Yexuan suddenly looked up, staring at her blankly.
Late at night, drinking tea might affect sleep…
At some point, his dead woman had also told him so.
But why, now that his dead woman was not far away, in his own prince's manor, did he not even have the desire to see her?
His mood was unspeakably heavy.
The more he got close to other women, the more he felt he had wronged Chu Qianli.
But when he truly reached Chu Qianli, every muscle, every meridian in his body resisted.
What was wrong with him?
Feng Yexuan raised his hand, propping up his forehead, and closed his eyes.
"I… just want this place to be quiet. Brew whatever tea you like."
