Bab 370: Failed Duties

Yu Zhen and Li Xueyue were able to return to their room undetected. Granted, the servants at the stable caught sight of them but they had been sworn to secrecy. Everyone was simply too terrified of the Crown Prince to betray his trust for mindless gossip.

"I just remembered," Li Xueyue groaned. "The parchment with my ideas. I don't know where it went."

Yu Zhen raised a brow. He continued to undress in front of her. His long fingers tossed aside the decorative layer of his clothing.

"Well, if you hadn't ran out, maybe you wouldn't have misplaced it," he mused.

Li Xueyue glared at him only to quickly avert her eyes. He was wearing nothing but a loose layer of clothing. His broad, muscular chest was revealed. The ridges of his abdomen peeked out whenever he moved.
