The Prime Minister's wife paused, turned around, and saw Shen Zhiyin appear behind her.

"Where did Zhiyin go?" She asked calmly without showing any expression on her face.

"I just spilled some wine on myself, so I went back to my room and changed my clothes. I felt a little dizzy for some reason, so it took me a while to come."

Shen Zhiyin explained slowly in a clear voice.

The Prime Minister's wife glanced at his face and saw that there was nothing unusual about him.

Since he was playing dumb and hadn't been exposed, she would naturally go along with him.

"I see. I thought Zhiyin had encountered some problems. You just returned to the mansion and are not familiar with the rules. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me."

The Prime Minister's wife said calmly, without any emotion in her tone.

"I've got the chant down."

Shen Zhiyin leaned forward and simply bowed, leaving no room for criticism.

The banquet was coming to an end, and after seeing off the guests, the Prime Minister's wife and the Prime Minister finally sat down.

"Master, something went wrong today." The Prime Minister's wife poured him a cup of warm tea and handed it to him.

"What happened?" The prime minister frowned and asked with some displeasure.

The Prime Minister's wife did not dare to hide anything and told everything, only concealing some details.

"Not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to cause trouble." The Prime Minister put down the cup in his hand angrily and continued, "You didn't seize such a good opportunity today."

"It's all my fault, don't be angry, Master."

Seeing that he didn't look very good, the Prime Minister's wife stood up and walked to his side, put her hand on his shoulder, and comforted him tenderly.

"Forget it, let's find another opportunity next time." Seeing her like this, the Prime Minister didn't say anything else.

"Madam, you have worked hard today. Go wash up and rest early." The Prime Minister took her hand and patted it.

"Yes, then I will help you wash up."

The two walked into the room and pushed the door open as usual.

They found a dead body in the room, with its eyes still open. They both knew this person very well, as he was the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Master, I have already dropped him off in the Prime Minister's room as you ordered. They will be able to see him as soon as they return to their room."

In Shen Zhiyin's room, his subordinates were lowering their heads, reporting what their master had ordered them to do.

But it was a long time after he finished his report that he did not hear Shen Zhiyin's response.

So he couldn't help but look up and found that his master seemed... distracted?

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively called out again: "Master?"

Shen Zhiyin finally turned his gaze to him and said calmly, "I understand. You go down first."

"Yes, that subordinate has resigned first."

He stood up, walked out, and closed the door.

Shen Zhiyin rubbed his hand carefully. There was a faint tooth mark on it, and there was a faint sense of pain.

It was Yan Jiaojiao who bit it today.

*

After Yan Jiaojiao returned home, she went straight to take a bath. Now she was lying on the bed, listening to Fu Yue reading the picture book to her.

"Congratulations to the host, Shen Zhiyin's favorability has increased by 20%, and the current favorability is 20%."

"Host, what did you do today? Why did Shen Zhiyin's favorability increase at this time?"

Cha Cha looked at the panel showing her favorability increasing and asked curiously.

"Didn't you see everything? I didn't do anything." Yan Jiaojiao said nonchalantly.

When she pushed the door open today, Shen Zhiyin did not seem surprised.

He must have heard the noise outside from inside the room, but did not move and just waited quietly for her to come in.

She pushed the door and walked in as he expected.

When Yan Jiaojiao saw him lying on his side on the bed, her guess was confirmed.

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

No wonder the Prime Minister invited her to the banquet. It turns out that she is the protagonist today.

It is expected that the Prime Minister and his wife have already discussed this matter, otherwise his wife would not have used her so blatantly.

Very good, he actually dared to plot against her.

So she had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, and luckily she did get something out of it.

When she was in the room today, she only took off the tape on Shen Zhiyin's mouth. The ropes on his hands and feet were not loosened, and he was also drugged, so she teased him without fear.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you shy?" Yan Jiaojiao chuckled.

She bent down, leaned closer to him, and lightly lifted Shen Zhiyin's chin with her nail-stained fingertips, forcing him to look up at her.

Both of them looked at each other, one with an indifferent expression and the other with a smile in his eyes.

"What does Princess want me to say?" Shen Zhiyin's clear voice was hoarse, as if he was deliberately suppressing something.

"Why don't you call me donor anymore? I still like to hear you call me donor." Yan Jiaojiao hooked her eye and said in a somewhat nonsensical tone.

Shen Zhiyin stopped talking again and just looked at her steadily.

Yan Jiaojiao looked at him with interest. Even though it was dark in the room, she could see the burning heat in his eyes.

She continued, "Why, do you want me to help you... Call someone over, but don't hurt yourself."

He wanted to kill her that day in the temple, but now he has fallen into her hands.

"Princess, do you really want to help?" he asked in a cold tone.

"Of course." Yan Jiaojiao didn't notice anything wrong and continued speaking.

Shen Zhiyin suddenly reached out and pulled her onto the bed, pressing his whole body on Yan Jiaojiao.

"You..." Yan Jiaojiao's eyes were full of surprise.

How come she didn't notice when this person untied the rope?

"Princess, didn't you just say you wanted to help? Don't regret it." Shen Zhiyin held her hands, making her unable to move.

"I meant to find someone to help." Yan Jiaojiao said angrily.

"Why go far away? I think the princess is just right." Shen Zhiyin said in an ambiguous tone.

His warm fingertips gently caressed her skin, his eyes were clear, not at all like the person who had just been at the mercy of others.

"Host, this is a car accident. Now you are the one who can be slaughtered at will." Cha Cha teased.

"Isn't he taking Chinese medicine? How come he's back to normal?"

"His martial arts skills are not low, and he didn't drink the medicine at all. He drank the medicine he found himself, and the effect is not strong." Cha Cha explained.

Yan Jiaojiao: “…”

"Why isn't the princess speaking? Huh?" Shen Zhiyin asked her using the same words she had just spoken.

The two of them were very close, and the cool fragrance from Shen Zhiyin's body mixed with his hot breath hit Yan Jiaojiao's face.

Yan Jiaojiao snorted coldly and pushed him away, saying, "Don't come near me."

"Princess, didn't you have a lot of fun just now?" Shen Zhiyin pinched her face, which was soft and delicate and felt very good.

He kneaded it again, and was protested by Yan Jiaojiao.

"Don't touch my face." She said coquettishly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyin stopped obediently.

But his hand did not move away, but gradually moved down.

He looked up at her, his voice low and hoarse.

"If you don't touch the princess's face, what about here?"
