The next day, Cen Xi woke up to find that the person had already secretly run away.

And because of her sudden accident, after having breakfast in the morning, Jun Jianchou took the lead in calling Jun Xiaoqiao, Zhu Yanniang, and the person she hated the most to Cen Xi's courtyard to discuss a way to deal with the person who cast the spell.

It was cold outside, so Cen Xi invited them all into her room.

But as soon as their eyes met, she felt inexplicably guilty. She had a feeling that she and he were having an affair.

Moreover, when Jun Jianchou kept emphasizing that she was very weak and that they should work together to protect her, she felt even more ashamed. They were doing it for her own good, so it seemed she really had to avoid Shen Jinchen in the future.

Seeing Erxi's timid and submissive manner again, Cenxi felt like she had swallowed a fly. She felt good for a moment, but she would face a disaster later.

What are you thinking about?

Jun Xiaoqiao sat next to her and could sense something was wrong without even glancing at her, so she asked.

"I'm thinking, why don't we take the initiative and go to Prince Ning's residence?"

Cen Xi glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao, then said without batting an eye.

"Who told you that the person who cast the spell on you was in the Prince Ning's residence?"

Jun Xiaoqiao raised an eyebrow, blinked, and looked back and forth between Shen Jinchen and her before asking with a smile.

"That's what Prime Minister Shen said. Last time in Shangyang City, when the enemy attacked the city, he sent someone to follow that person, so he told me this."

Cen Xi looked up and glared back at her, replying seriously, "What's wrong with saying this? So what if Shen Jinchen told him?"

"Oh~"

Jun Xiaoqiao drawled out the last syllable, nodding with a smile. Taking advantage of Cen Xi's inattention, she whispered something in her ear:

"You told me that last night in bed, didn't you?"

Cen Xi's ears twitched, she reflexively glanced at her, then adopted a serious tone, pretending not to have heard anything.

"Don't do that. We heard everything last night. Don't worry, we won't tell Jun Jianchou. We'll keep it a secret."

Jun Xiaoqiao pulled her close and whispered something in his ear. Cen Xi calmly pinched his waist, her face still serious. She didn't admit it; who said she had done it?

Jun Xiaoqiao winced in pain, released Cen Xi, and curled her lips into a smile, her face remaining calm.

Back in modern times, the two of them often did this, and Jun Jianchou was used to it, so he didn't say anything. He simply straightened his voice and said:

What is Prime Minister Shen's opinion on this matter?

“My people have indeed found out that the person is in the Ning Prince’s residence, and it is very likely that he is still the Ning Prince. The court is currently in turmoil, and various forces are eager to make their move. A year ago, the Heng Prince was discovered by the court early, so he was eliminated before the other party could start any trouble. Now it seems that the Ning Prince’s residence is also about to become restless, so this trip to the Ning Prince’s residence is imperative.”

Shen Jinchen glanced at Cen Xi, a slight smile playing on his lips, before speaking seriously to Jun Jianchou.

“I’ve always had a question. I feel that this person is specifically targeting Cen Xi. My master also said before that Chen Xi has a special identity, which is why he’s targeting her. Do you two already know the answer?”

Jun Jianchou glanced at Cen Xi, then at Shen Jinchen, and felt that there was something else between them besides their romantic relationship that he didn't know about.

"A hundred years ago, the Great Qi Kingdom was destroyed by Yan Shengxiao, a traitor from the Hidden Sect, who used shameless means to destroy it. He himself was condemned by the Heavenly Dao and only reigned as emperor for half a year before his soul returned to the underworld. Later, for some unknown reason, he was reincarnated into this world with memories of his previous life. I have a monk under my command who has the ability to see the heavens. He calculated that the Great Yan Kingdom has a noblewoman destined by heaven who can suppress his evil aura, so he has his eye on Cen Xi."

Shen Jinchen leaned back in his chair, clenched his left fist slightly, glanced at Cen Xi, and then slowly explained to Jun Jianchou.

"You mean, Cen Xi is that destined noblewoman."

Jun Jianchou confirmed.

And as soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xi squinted and asked:

"So you knew from the beginning that I was a woman of destiny, and that you came to kill me."

"No, I only attacked you because of the incident at the Prince Heng's mansion. After I found out your identity, I stopped, didn't I?"

Seeing that Shen Jinchen and Cen Xi were about to explode, Shen Jinchen touched his nose and explained helplessly.

"He tried to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoqiao swallowed hard, glanced at Shen Jinchen, and then looked at Cen Xi. How much courage did she have to sleep with someone who wanted to kill her?

"Yes, but later she may have been captivated by my charm and fell in love with me."

Cen Xi curled her lips into a smile, then looked at Jun Xiaoqiao with a defiant glint in her eyes, her gaze full of arrogance and smugness.

"Goddess, I'm impressed. You're inhuman when you get wild."

Jun Xiaoqiao cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, and indeed, none of the people sitting here were normal.

"Good that you know what's good for you. Shut up, we're talking about serious matters."

Since Cen Xi had already lost face, there was no need to pick it up again, so she didn't even blush and changed the subject back to the main topic.

At the same time, Shen Jinchen coughed, glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao, and continued Cen Xi's words:

"I plan to set off in three days, taking Cen Xi with me. You two don't need to come along; we can handle it."

“No, that person is very skilled in unorthodox methods. In case Cen Xi’s soul leaves her body again, I must go with him. Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with you two.”

Jun Jianchou looked serious. He was only worried about Cen Xi's health. He was a gentleman and could let go of the past as he pleased. This time, he was determined.

“I’m going too. I heard there’s a Zhenxiulou restaurant near the Ningwang Mansion. This is a good opportunity to take it over. Cen Xi, your wise saying is that money shouldn’t be wasted. The Zhenxiulou restaurant in Shangyang City has been destroyed. We can’t let the Zhenxiulou restaurants in other places be destroyed too, right?”

As soon as Jun Jianchou finished speaking, Jun Xiaoqiao immediately chimed in, saying that she was already tired of Shaoyang City and wanted to go for a walk. Also, she couldn't let what happened last night happen again; she had to create some trouble and not let those two philandering lovers be so arrogant.

“I’m going too. That bastard dares to scheme against my sister. He doesn’t want to live anymore. Cen Xi, don’t kill him. Give him to me and let me give him a good dressing down. I’ll make sure he dies from exhaustion.”

After Jun Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Zhu Yanniang was not to be outdone. She used to think that life was not very interesting, but since she met Cen Xi, she found that life was much more interesting.

After listening to each of their speeches, Cen Xi was speechless and looked up at the sky. Well! They all had their reasons, and it seemed she couldn't refuse them.

She originally wanted to go alone, but a whole bunch of people followed her. Not only could she not shake off Shen Jinchen, but she also couldn't shake off Jun Jianchou, Jun Xiaoqiao, and Zhu Yanniang.

“Then let’s go together, Ah-Xi. They’re all worried about you, and so am I. There’s strength in numbers. If something happens to you, not only will I be heartbroken, but all your friends will be too. Don’t be stubborn, okay?”

Shen Jinchen already knew this would be the outcome, which is why he brought it up specifically.
