So he knew.

Xia Muqing laughed obsequiously and said, “If I marry Prince Yu, how will I be able to cure you?”

Ye Qingxuan was much more satisfied with her fawning.

He nodded in agreement.

Xia Muqing widened her eyes in surprise and smiled brightly.

Her smile blinded Ye Qingxuan, and before he reacted, Xia Muqing wiped off her smile.

At night, the black eagle who was sneaking around the Xia residence didn’t see Xia Muqing return. So it followed her scent.

It raised its head to the sky and screeched. It spread its wings and flew in the direction of King Zhennan’s residence.

As soon as it left, screams could be heard in the Xia residence.

All the women’s closets had been rummaged through, and some private underclothes were exposed.

Everyone gathered together to investigate and to find the pervert who was so bold enough to commit such crimes in broad daylight.

The culprit, who was the black eagle, landed on the roof of the king’s residence. It craned its neck and peered down.

Since it couldn’t find Xia Muqing, it searched the rooms one by one.

It skillfully lifted the roof tiles and looked down.

Since it couldn’t spot her, it went to the next one.

After checking a few rooms, it saw a cloud of fog rising the next time it opened a tile.

The steam kept rising.

The black eagle was a little curious. After it slowly got used to the hot steam, it saw a woman sitting in a bathtub.

It couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly because of the angle, but the woman’s bare shoulders and her gentle eyes could be glimpsed. She was splashing herself with water.

A drop of saliva slowly flowed out of the black eagle’s slightly opened mouth.

Saliva flowed down in a straight line.

It dangled in the air.

The black eagle had also noticed this and wanted to wipe off its saliva with its wings. However, the saliva landed on the woman’s head.

The woman sensed that something was amiss. She looked up and saw a pair of bronze eyes.

A shriek rang from the room.

It had alerted the patrolling soldiers outside, but they didn’t dare to enter and stood at the door.

The woman quickly put on her clothes and shouted, “There’s someone on the roof.”

The soldiers looked up.

The black eagle, who was also shocked by the shriek just now, rolled down from the roof.

It landed in the middle of the soldiers.

With its thick skin, it was naturally fine. It rolled around and got up. When it realized that there were so many people in the courtyard, it knew that something had gone wrong.

It still remembered that Xia Muqing had abandoned it because it met humans previously.

An idea struck it, and it shielded its eyes with its wings.

That way, it wouldn’t be able to see any humans.

The soldiers raised their spears and aimed at it.

Seeing its strange behavior, they all froze in place.

After a while, the head of the soldiers poked it with his spear tentatively.

The black eagle hissed and flapped its wings.

The soldiers took a step back and misunderstood that it had gone mad.

A huge battle was about to begin.

The commotion was too loud and Xia Muqing could hear it.

When she overheard the soldiers mentioning that there was a huge black eagle, she knew that something was wrong and hurriedly followed them.

The courtyard was already in chaos. The black eagle ran around the courtyard, kicking up dust wherever it went.

When Ye Qingxuan arrived, he saw the soldiers in a mess and commanded coldly, “All of you, retreat.”

Everyone instantly retracted their weapons and retreated in an orderly fashion, forming a circle.

Seeing that no one was poking it, the black eagle stopped as well.

Xia Muqing had also rushed to the scene.

The black eagle cried out in grievance and scrambled to Xia Muqing.

Ye Qingxuan also looked over and waited for Xia Muqing to explain.

Xia Muqing was about to speak when she saw a woman rushing out. She ran to Ye Qingxuan and cried, “Your Highness, that eagle peeped at me while I was bathing!”

The air went still for a moment.

Xia Muqing’s face darkened.. She suddenly didn’t want to acknowledge this lustful eagle.
