Chu Jinghuai saw her smirk and knew what she was planning. He said, "Don't even think about it, Princess. Without my order, they won't do anything for you."

Chen Jingxi was stunned. This guy was like a worm in her stomach. He knew everything she was thinking.

"Ahem, Your Highness, you are too overbearing. They have already worked their hearts out for you. It's okay for them to take on part-time jobs occasionally. You can't restrict them too tightly. It's easy to drive them crazy."

Chu Jinghuai snorted coldly and said, "Princess, instead of worrying about whether they can be forced into a corner by me, you should worry about yourself."

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

Chu Jinghuai said coldly, "Chen Jingxi, you are my princess, yet you are chatting and laughing with a man from another world, even arm in arm. Where do you place me? Where have you learned to be a good wife?"

Chen Jingxi was stunned. Is this guy sick? She was fine just now. She can't be so sad when talking to people. And when did she start hugging someone?

He's not going to be delusional or manic, is he? And why is he acting up at this very moment? He's not going to leave her here anytime soon! What should I do?

Chen Jingxi pondered for a moment, then, after a moment of reflection, said in a servile manner, "Prince, please calm down. I will definitely change the situation you described. This will never happen again. I swear on my name as the princess that if I do this again, you will divorce me."

Chu Jinghuai's expression improved, and he said calmly, "Princess, there is no need to swear. I will not divorce you no matter what. If you do it again, I will have to lock you up to prevent those troublesome people from bothering you."

Chen Jingxi agreed with a smile, thinking to himself: This guy is a complete male chauvinist and really deserves a beating.

Seeing that she agreed, Chu Jinghuai smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "Princess, let's go!"

Chen Jingxi reluctantly went over and hugged his waist.

The next morning.

Chen Jingxi was sitting at the dining table and yawning, while Chu Jinghuai was drinking porridge with a refreshed look.

Chen Jingxi glanced at him with resentful eyes. After this guy came back last night, he talked about a lot of obligations of a princess. From now on, she not only has to accompany him for three meals, but also needs his approval before meeting anyone.

She couldn't sleep well all night thinking about so many unequal treaties.

"Princess, you are so smart. It's so lively outside." Chunmei ran in hurriedly.

Chen Jingxi put down his bowl and chopsticks and said calmly, "Tell me, what's going on outside?"

"Early this morning, there was a woman with disheveled clothes in a dilapidated temple outside the city." Chunmei paused and glanced at Chu Jinghuai, seeing him eating breakfast by himself.

Then he continued, "I heard that person was Princess Yuzhen."

Chen Jingxi smiled and nodded, "Go on."

"I heard that when the princess woke up, there were seven or eight beggars sleeping beside her. They said that the princess couldn't stand being lonely and said..."

Chen Jingxi stopped her from continuing, "Go down!"

"yes."

Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai.

Chu Jinghuai said calmly, "Those beggars are secret guards."

Chen Jingxi nodded. She just wanted Chu Yuzhen to suffer the consequences of her actions. She couldn't do such a thing as being gang-raped, and she didn't want Chu Jinghuai to do it either.

Chu Jinghuai smiled. He didn’t care whether Yuzhen would be defiled or not, he just felt disgusted by it.

In the palace.

Chu Yuzhen was venting her anger wantonly, and the palace servants could only huddle in the corner and tremble. Some of them had bruises on their faces. Various valuable antique calligraphy and paintings were torn to pieces on the ground, and tables, embroidered stools and shelves were toppled over.

At this moment, the palace gate was pushed open. The queen looked at her daughter, who was close to being crazy, and said coldly, "Have you had enough of this?"

Chu Yuzhen was startled. She turned around and saw the queen. She ran over and hugged her, crying, "Mother, someone is trying to harm my daughter. You must help me."

The queen sighed and waved her hand. The palace maids kneeling in the corner retreated as if they had been pardoned.

"I've told your father that you should stay at Jingchi Temple for a few days."

After hearing this, Chu Yuzhen took a step back and stared at the queen in amazement, "I won't go."

"Yuzhen, be obedient. This is the best arrangement your mother can make for you."

"If you want to do this for your daughter's sake, you should avenge her and kill that bitch Chen Jingxi. She's the one who harmed me."

The Queen raised her hand and slapped her. "I told you not to provoke them, but you refused to believe me. With all those tricks you have, do you think others don't know?"

Chu Yuzhen covered her face and dodged her gaze. "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything."

The Queen took a breath and said, "How could I have given birth to such a stupid daughter like you? I already know that you had someone frame Princess Su. Do you think Prince Su doesn't know? Why do you think you were thrown into the ruined temple?"

After hearing this, Chu Yuzhen collapsed to the ground.

The Queen squatted down and held her daughter in her arms. "Yuzhen, listen to your mother. Go to Jingchi Temple first. I will take you back after some time."

After hearing this, Chu Yuzhen pushed the queen away and asked, "Mother, why did you insist on sending your daughter to that place? Is there any possibility for her to come back after going there?"

The queen was silent. Jingchi Temple was a royal temple. It was the final destination for concubines without children and it was also where princesses who made mistakes would go.

All she could do now was to save her life, and deal with the rest later. In just a few days, first the princess disappeared, and then a princess of a country was kidnapped. If she couldn't handle this matter well, her position as queen would be over.

"Yuzhen, you have to understand your mother. She had no choice but to do this. This is the best solution."

Chu Yuzhen looked up at the Queen and sneered, "Mother, you are so heartless. In your heart, there is only my brother and your position as Queen. For that position, you killed so many people. Why couldn't you kill Chen Jingxi? And you even sent your daughter to that place."

"You..." The queen closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression was cold and indifferent.

"Someone, come and keep an eye on the princess for me."

After saying this, the queen left Jinxiu Palace.

"Your Majesty, the princess..."

"If she keeps talking nonsense, tell her to shut up."

The nanny was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."

Chu Yuzhen's eyes in the hall were filled with coldness and resentment. She stood up and walked to the door, but a palace maid stopped her.

"Princess, the Queen has ordered that you cannot leave the palace."

After hearing this, Chu Yuzhen's face darkened and her eyes widened with anger, wanting to scold the palace maid.

The maid beside her hurriedly said, "Princess, please calm down first. The Queen is doing this for your own good."

Chu Yuzhen looked at the maid in front of her and smiled slightly, "Come in and serve this princess."

"yes."

After a while, sounds of beating and scolding were heard from the hall.
