Chapter 162: No Home at Night
After eating and drinking, Xie Zhaozhao pulled the quilt off Yun Qi and turned around to walk outside.

"What are you going to do?" Yun Qi grabbed Xie Zhaozhao's hand again and looked at her with drunken eyes, "I'm neither thirsty nor hungry now."

The implication is, don’t be too busy.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "You can't stay here, you have to go back."

"Can't I?" Yun Qi half-squinted his eyes and asked softly: "Can't I stay with you?"

"Do not--"

"Just stay a little longer, just a little while, and I can leave after a while, can't you?"

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but take a deep breath and frowned with regret.

This breath was almost entirely filled with the smell of alcohol on Yun Qi's body!

It will take a while for the hangover soup to be effective, right?
Besides, he was so drunk and it was cold outside. If he had to go out like this, he would be afraid of catching the cold...

Xie Zhaozhao thought about it for a while, but finally did not forcefully drive them away, but said: "Then stay for half an hour and drink slowly. After half an hour, you must go back."

"Okay." Yun Qi responded, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his smile was as bright as the spring sun. He pulled Xie Zhaozhao back, "I know Zhaozhao is the best to me."

Xie Zhaozhao slapped his hand away, "Let go, I'll go find something."

Yun Qi raised his eyes and stared at her: "What are you looking for?"

"Useful stuff." Xie Zhaozhao pried off his hand, "You just sleep here for a while, I'll come back when I'm gone."

Yun Qi seemed reluctant.

But she was still a little drunk after all. Seeing that this room was Xie Zhaozhao's place, where else could she run?
He nodded immediately and closed his eyes.

Xie Zhaozhao put on a thin cloak and exited the room downstairs.

Xuan Ming was waiting in the small hall. When he saw her coming downstairs, he immediately went to greet her: "Miss... His Highness was drunk and made the lady suffer."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Zhaozhao said: "He drank the hangover soup and fell asleep. It may take a while before he gets up. You can take him back when he does."

"Yes."

"Where are his clothes? Have you taken them?"

"No -" Xuan Ming said awkwardly: "His Highness got up and left when he saw the young lady leaving. He left so quickly that the other two and I also forgot His Highness's clothes."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly.

Xuan Ming immediately said: "I will send someone to get it."

"never mind."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Prince Dingxi's palace is far away. It will take a while to get one...I'll find one he can wear."

Xuan Ming looked at Xie Zhaozhao's leaving figure in a daze.

It took me a while to realize that I had made a mistake—

He thought Xie Zhaozhao cared that the robe was left in the Lu family's pile of makeup.

Looking at this now, are you worried that the master will be cold when he goes out?

Xuan Ming couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the young lady is not indifferent to her master.

He glanced upstairs, wanting to see Yun Qi's current situation.

But this is Xie Zhaozhao's residence, and the upstairs is Xie Zhaozhao's boudoir, so naturally he can't go in.

Hongxiu stood aside and glanced upstairs.

She was also curious about what was going on now.

However, His Highness is a foreigner and is still inside.

As a subordinate, it seemed impossible for her to remain silent when she saw her husband.

So I just pretended not to know.

……

Xie Zhaozhao went to Xie Changyuan's courtyard, but he didn't expect that there was only Changshou guarding the courtyard. He hesitated and said that Xie Changyuan had gone to bed early.

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows: "Asleep? There was no sound at all in the house. Are you not here?"

"Miss!" Changsui said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, the fifth young master really fell asleep, really!"

Xie Zhaozhao stared at him: "You tell such a loophole-filled lie? If it was my mother who came here, she would have to crawl out to see people even if she was asleep."

Always laugh with laughter.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Okay, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to find a robe and a cloak. Just bring it to me."

"Ah?" Chang Sui was stunned.

"Don't you understand?" Xie Zhaozhao repeated, and then said: "You haven't seen me tonight, and I haven't seen you, do you understand?"

Chang Sui understood now and hurried in to get it for Xie Zhaozhao. He said thoughtfully: "It was done a few days ago. The young master hasn't had sex yet."

"Thank you."

Xie Zhaozhao picked up his clothes and quickly returned to his Wangyue Tower.

On the way, I met two teams of patrolling government soldiers and asked Xie Zhaozhao why he was out and about so late.

Xie Zhaozhao said he couldn't sleep and came out to admire the moon.

The leaders of the two teams of soldiers thought it was strange, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just advised Xie Zhaozhao to put on more clothes and rest early because of the cold night.

When he returned to the wing of Wangyue Tower, Yun Qi fell asleep again.

The quilt was kicked into a mess, with only one corner hanging around her waist.

Xie Zhaozhao pulled the quilt up for him and couldn't help but yawn sleepily.

After looking around for a while, Xie Zhaozhao finally went to the table and lay down.

After struggling for most of the night, she was very sleepy. She originally planned to take a nap and wake him up after he slept for a while, but she didn't want to lie down and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Qi, who was on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and scanned the place where he was with sharp eyes, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Zhaozhao, who was sleeping at the table.

The sharp eyes paused for a moment, then remembered some small fragments of last night, and then slowly turned soft and proud.

It seems that she is not indifferent to him.

Yun Qi stepped onto the bed lightly, and when he approached Xie Zhaozhao, he brushed his fingers on the back of her neck.

Xie Zhaozhao's body went limp, and when he fell over, Yun Qi took advantage of the situation and caught him in his arms.

Yun Qi carried the beauty in his arms back to the bed.

Sensing familiar footsteps outside, Yun Qi said coldly: "Wait."

Xuanming outside the door was stunned for a moment, then retreated to the darkness without saying a word and waited quietly.

Yun Qi pulled the quilt for Xie Zhaozhao, kissed her forehead again, and then stood up and left.

The sky outside is already gray, and it will be dawn in half an hour at most.

Xuan Ming also looked at the clock before coming up to ask about the situation.

"Let's go."

Yun Qi gently closed Xie Zhaozhao's door, turned around and went downstairs.

Seeing that he was walking steadily and not drunk at all, Xuan Ming immediately followed him quietly and soon left Duke Liang's mansion.

When the master and servants returned to Dingxi Palace, the sky was already white as fish belly.

It's so early, but Nanny Li is already fully dressed and pacing anxiously in front of Han Yuexuan's door.

Seeing Yun Qi come back intact, Grandma Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why didn't Your Highness stay home all night?" Nanny Li stepped forward quickly and said in a reproachful tone: "You didn't even send anyone back to say anything..."

"Feel sorry."

Yun Qi's tone was gentle, "There was a little accident last night, so I didn't come back and didn't bother to send someone to pass the news."

Aunt Li is the personal nanny of Yun Qi's biological mother, Mrs. Lu, and is now the head of the Dingxi Palace. She takes care of Yun Qi's daily life.

Her status in the palace and Yun Qi's treatment of her are naturally different from those of ordinary palace servants.

"You don't have your coat anymore." Nanny Li frowned and said, "It's such a cold day, why don't you wear your coat? You-"
