Reborn Princess

After sitting down, Shen Yanlan asked casually, "Your Majesty, I just ran into Mr. Song."

Zhou Cechen poured tea for Shen Lilan, "He came to discuss something with me."

Shen Xilan was thinking about how to start the conversation. She wanted to know why Song Yan came to see Zhou Cechen.

"Is she here to repay the prince for saving her wife's life?"

Zhou Cechen looked up at Shen Lilan and said, "You saved her life, and he still owes you."

After saying that, Zhou Cechen pushed the tea bowl towards Shen Lilan.

"Saving her is what I wanted, so why talk about repaying a favor?" Shen Lilan naturally would not mention that he saved Su Wan for Zhou Cechen.

Zhou Cechen curled his lips and said, "He should repay this favor."

"Lord Song is a gentleman with great principles in mind. He will not be bothered by such trivial matters." Shen Lilan was trying to trick Zhou Cechen.

"A gentleman?" Zhou Cechen frowned slightly and sneered, "I'm afraid he is just a hypocrite."

"how you said that?"

"He came here this time, under the pretext of repaying a favor, to test my background, and he also wanted to join hands with me to deal with the person who was controlling everything behind the scenes."

Shen Lilan blinked and asked, "Does he have a grudge against that person?"

Shen Lilan knew that Song Yan had enough talent to join forces with Zhou Cechen, but she didn't know what Song Yan's plan was or why he wanted to kill that man.

"I have asked someone to look up his past. I think we can learn something from it."

Shen Lilan nodded, thinking about Song Yan.

"The princess is very interested in him?" A deep voice came into Shen Lilan's ears, and Shen Lilan immediately shook his head.

"How come? I'm just a little curious."

Zhou Cechen stared at Shen Xilan. Seeing her trying to cover up her emotion, he wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that she would mind.

"Your hands are injured like that, why bother to bring the pastries yourself?"

Of course Shen Xilan wouldn't say it, she just wanted to know what he and Song Yan talked about.

"I wanted to see you, so I came."

Zhou Cechen was stunned for a moment and then chuckled. His laughter was as gentle as a spring breeze. Shen Lilan was truly fascinated by what he saw.

"It's only been half an hour, and the princess already missed me. It seems that I am to blame. I should have brought the princess with me at all times."

After hearing what Zhou Cechen said, Shen Xilan realized that he was teasing her, and her ears turned red.

After Zhou Cechen said this, he realized how abrupt he was. He was afraid that Shen Lilan would not like it.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yanlan slowly stood up and walked to Zhou Cechen's side, then leaned over slightly, put his hands on Zhou Cechen's shoulders, stared into Zhou Cechen's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you must keep your word."

Zhou Cechen was surprised and delighted when he saw Shen Lilan's series of actions.

He put his arm around Shen Lilan's waist and pulled her towards himself, his broad hands holding her slender waist.

"I will never let you go in my life." Zhou Cechen said in Shen Lilan's ear.

Shen Lilan put his arms around Zhou Cechen's neck and lay on his shoulder.

"No regrets."

Zhou Cechen replied, "I won't regret it."

……

"Lan'er"

"Lan'er"

Late at night, Shen Lilan opened his eyes in astonishment, breathing heavily.

Zhou Cechen frowned and looked at her.

"But you had a nightmare?"

Warm tears flowed from the corners of Shen Lilan's eyes and turned into ice cold. She opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Cechen, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.

In the dark night, Zhou Cechen could not see Shen Lilan's tears, but he could feel Shen Lilan's uneasiness.

Zhou Cechen hugged Shen Lilan tightly and patted her back gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Lilan's breathing gradually calmed down. She stared at Zhou Cechen's silhouette in the darkness, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

When he stroked Shen Lilan's cheek, he felt wetness.

Zhou Cechen frowned and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Shen Lilan's eyes with his thumb.

Shen Lilan felt the person so close to her. His breathing, his voice, his scent, his touch, all told her that she had been reborn.

At this moment, Shen Xilan's heart was in turmoil, and he was almost crazy about wanting to get close to Zhou Cechen.

When Zhou Cechen's lips touched the warm softness, he had not yet reacted.

The girl was ignorant, and her kiss was also reckless. After touching Zhou Cechen's lips, Shen Lilan awkwardly stretched out her tongue and licked them. Zhou Cechen's body trembled but he did not move.

Under the dark bed curtains, Shen Xilan was not satisfied with the distance between her and Zhou Cechen, so she sat astride Zhou Cechen's waist and abdomen.

Like an ignorant little deer, she changed from licking to biting, biting Zhou Cechen's lips in small bites. But the girl seemed to be unaware of how much desire this would arouse Zhou Cechen.

On top of the quilt was a hand that was tightly clutching the quilt with veins bulging.

Zhou Cechen lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes were trembling, and there were crystal tears hanging on them. The corners of his eyes must be red from crying just now.

The desire deep in his heart was aroused. Zhou Cechen stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Lilan's slender waist, pulling her close to himself. Then he turned from passive to active, clasped the back of Shen Lilan's head with one hand, and deepened the kiss.

Zhou Cechen's kiss became more intense, as if he wanted to pass all his passion to her. Shen Lilan's breathing became rapid, and she hugged Zhou Cechen's neck, responding to his passion.

Just as the two were immersed in a passionate kiss, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Zhou Cechen let go of Shen Lilan, and the two of them pressed their foreheads together, breathing heavily. He whispered, "Someone is coming."

Shen Lilan's heart was still beating fast. She finally realized how passionate she was just now, and a blush appeared on her face. Zhou Cechen looked at her shy appearance and smiled involuntarily.

The footsteps gradually approached, and then stopped in front of the door. The person outside the door called softly: "My Lord, something happened."

Zhou Cechen held Shen Lilan for a long time without moving.

"Prince?" Shen Yanlan called in a low voice. But as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse.

The guard outside the door continued to call out tentatively: "Your Majesty."

Zhou Cechen then let go of Shen Lilan. He kissed Shen Lilan's forehead, stood up, put on his coat, and walked towards the door.

After opening the door, the guard handed over an expedited letter. Zhou Cechen quickly glanced through it, his face solemn.

Back in the room, Zhou Cechen sat on the bed.

"What happened?" Shen Yanlan asked.

"Ye Qinghe committed suicide."

"What?" Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen in astonishment.

How could this be? It seemed like Ye Qinghe had never experienced this in his previous life.

"Then she..."

Zhou Cechen said: "She was saved by the maid who was delivering medicine."

"Where's Jiang Xi? Is she okay?"

Zhou Cechen shook his head, "It's safe for now."

Shen Xilan quickly thought about what had happened in the past few days and why things did not develop according to the trajectory of his previous life.

He was framed when he entered the palace, and arrested the eight suspects and put them in the imperial prison to hide the truth from the public, and then he found the culprit, met Jiang Xi, and met Zhou Jingmo.

Listing these things one by one, the only thing that happened to Jiang Xi was something that did not happen in his previous life but happened in this life.

Thinking of Jiang Xi, Shen Lilan suddenly remembered Ye Qinghe whom he saw in the imperial prison.
