Although Chu Jinghuai stayed in Prince Su's Mansion and never left, he knew everything that was happening outside.

It can be said that things developed exactly as he expected, but the emperor finally withstood the pressure and demoted the Prince of Xiang to a prince, sending him to Ningzhou.

Chen Jingxi was a little surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "Does the Prince of Xiang have any leverage over your father? Or is the Prince of Xiang actually his son? Did you pick him up?"

The crime committed by the Prince of Xiang was worthy of being demoted to a commoner, but the emperor let him go.

Chu Jinghuai had made many contributions, but he made a mistake once and the emperor wanted to kill him, which made her suspicious.

Chu Jinghuai forced a smile. Sometimes he really wished he was not his father's son so that he could have nothing to worry about.

Chen Jingxi thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what kind of leverage the Emperor had in the hands of the Prince of Xiang. Now that the Prince of Xiang was gone, her Yicui Tower couldn't find out anything even if it tried to investigate.

What a pity!

If she could get hold of something against the old emperor, next time he wanted to deal with her and her husband, she wouldn't mind printing tens of thousands of copies of it, letting all the people in the world know what kind of person is sitting on the throne.

The days passed quietly like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Jinghuai's house arrest was approaching, with only half a month left.

During this peaceful day, Chen Jingxi unexpectedly received a post.

"Princess, this is a card sent by Madam Ouyang." Chunmei walked into the room softly, presenting with both hands an exquisitely crafted card embroidered with intricate patterns, which looked particularly gorgeous.

Chen Jingxi took the post and searched her mind. She couldn't remember any official in the capital with the surname Ouyang, but she did remember that the richest man in Daxia was named Ouyang.

So he asked tentatively, "But is it Madam Ouyang from the richest family?"

"Yes, Princess." Chunmei replied respectfully.

Chen Jingxi vaguely sensed something was amiss. She pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Send a reply to Madam Ouyang, telling her that I'm free now and would like her to come over for a chat."

Chunmei agreed and turned to leave.

After receiving the reply, a maidservant grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What lady would invite someone today and meet them today? This Princess Su clearly doesn't take our lady seriously!"

The woman sitting in front of the mirror simply said, "Get ready and go to Prince Su's Mansion."

In Prince Su’s Mansion.

Chen Jingxi sat leisurely beside Chu Jinghuai, hooking a strand of black hair with her fingers and spinning it around her fingertips. With a gentle smile on her lips, she stared at Chu Jinghuai.

Chu Jinghuai felt uneasy when she looked at him, and asked, "Princess, is there anything about me that has displeased you recently?"

Chen Jingxi handed the post to him.

Chu Jinghuai took the post and couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity. He chuckled and said, "Is there any interesting news?"

These days, he has been really impressed by Yicuilou's intelligence network. Even his well-trained secret guards could not detect the information, but a brothel could easily get it.

Chen Jingxi said calmly: "Look for yourself."

"Mrs. Ouyang?" Chu Jinghuai couldn't help but frowned, obviously he was not unfamiliar with this name.

Chen Jingxi nodded and smiled, "Your Highness, what do you think of the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world?"

Chu Jinghuai smiled helplessly, "No matter what, this prince is not interested in these."

Chen Jingxi refused to give up and continued with a smile, "I heard that she once set up an arena for a martial arts competition to win a husband, and Your Highness, you shone brilliantly in that competition and won the heart of the beauty."

When Chu Jinghuai heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he thought to himself: Oh no, trouble is coming.

He quickly explained, "That was all in the past. Back then, I was young and full of energy, and I was entrusted by someone to participate in that competition."

Chen Jingxi seemed to believe it and looked him up and down, finally stopping between his legs.

Chu Jinghuai could feel the burning gaze, and his legs could not help but clamp together. He swallowed his saliva and quickly said, "Princess, I am devoted to you and only you, and I have no other thoughts."

Chen Jingxi narrowed his eyes and warned, "You'd better tell the truth. If I find out that you've abandoned me or done anything to let me down, I'll kill your little brother."

Chu Jinghuai smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "I understand, I understand. Princess, please rest assured, I have never done anything you said."

Chen Jingxi snorted coldly, and a servant came to report that Madam Ouyang had arrived.

At this moment, Chu Jinghuai and Chen Jingxi were sitting in the flower hall, looking at the most beautiful woman in the world who had just been brought up.

Chen Jingxi couldn't help but sigh that the rumors were true. Even though she had seen countless beauties, she was still a little shocked.

The woman in front of me had long hair draped over her shoulders, and was dressed in plain clothes, with only a light green ribbon tied around her head. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she wore no makeup. There was a hint of spring in her eyebrows and eyes, and her watery eyes seemed to be dripping with water, and her smile was even more radiant.

Seeing Chen Jingxi's distraction, Ye Nandie's lips curled up slightly with a smile, and she slowly stepped forward and bowed gracefully, "Greetings to Prince Su, Princess Su."

Chen Jingxi came back to her senses and curled the corners of her lips slightly. She turned her head to look at Chu Jinghuai who was sitting next to her, and Chu Jinghuai happened to turn his head and smiled at her.

Chen Jingxi curled her lips, glared at him, and turned her head away.

Ye Nandie, standing in the middle of the hall, looked at the two people sitting there ignoring her, and a surge of anger surged in her heart.

She had imagined various situations when she would meet Chu Jinghuai again, and thought that he would still be the same as before, looking down on everyone and looking down on everything.

But now, what did she see? He smiled so flatteringly at his princess, as if the whole world was not as important as her.

It turns out he can laugh too.

Ye Nandie was unwilling to accept this. She believed that she was both beautiful and talented. Besides, she now had the entire Ouyang family, so how could she be worse than this woman?

This woman not only has a better family background than hers, no, now she doesn't even have a family background. The Chen family was destroyed by her own hands.

Also, this woman was once sold to the mountains, and it is unknown whether she still has any innocence.

With various reasons swirling in her mind, Ye Nandie finally came to a self-comforting conclusion: Chu Jinghuai and his princess were just playing around.

She thought, how could a man of heaven's arrogance like Chu Jinghuai possibly like a withered and broken woman? This was just a game between them, a noble, or a superficial effort for some benefit.

Thinking of this, Ye Nandie felt a little relieved. So, she called out softly, "Jing Huai."
