“Mom…Mom…”

"ah!"

There was a loud "bang!"

At the moment the incident happened, Chen Jingxi didn't know whether she fainted or closed her eyes out of fear.

When she opened her eyes, she could hear the sound of a whistle.

Looking at her mother not far away, she crawled over and called out twice but received no response.

She frantically searched for something on her mother's body, looked around, and finally crawled over while enduring the pain in her leg.

I picked up the broken phone and pressed some buttons, but there was no response.

She looked up at the passers-by and vehicles, calling for help.

Looking at the hesitant passers-by and the vehicles that stopped for a moment and then left, she had no choice but to scream heartbreakingly.

Watching the wet area on the asphalt road getting larger and larger.

At this time, Chen Jingxi was extremely desperate, but she did not shed a single tear. She just lay on the ground and kept wailing for help.

"Help! Please save my mother."

"Please."

Chu Jinghuai quickly walked over to the couch and gently patted her face, "Chen Jingxi, wake up."

Chen Jingxi suddenly woke up and grabbed Chu Jinghuai's hand, "Chu Jinghuai, please save my mother, please save her."

"I'll save you right away, don't panic."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Chu Jinghuai hugged her and coaxed her softly: "Okay, don't worry, I will save you right away."

"I beg you."

Chu Jinghuai patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's okay..."

After a while, Chen Jingxi slowly came out of the dream and suddenly burst into tears again, crying out all her despair, fear, grievance, resentment, and lack of response.

Chu Jinghuai was even more panicked now. He had never seen her cry like this, even when she was facing assassination and even when she was almost defiled last time.

She never shed a tear.

I wonder what kind of despair she was experiencing when she cried at this moment.

Chu Jinghuai held her quietly without asking.

After Chen Jingxi stopped crying, she wiped the tears from her face and asked convulsively, "Am I...crying ugly?"

Chu Jinghuai: "..."

"Don't be surprised. Once you get to know me, you'll know that when I cry... it's just so... horrible."

"It's alright, Princess, you can cry as much as you want."

"Chu Jinghuai, thank you. I am really comforted, although I am still very sad."

Chu Jinghuai took a square handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Then how can the princess be happy?"

Chen Jingxi sniffed and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Chu Jinghuai smiled, stood up and went out to ask someone to serve the meal.

——

Chen Jingxi ate the food in the bowl bit by bit, and ate whatever Chu Jinghuai picked up.

Very dull.

The two maids saw it and felt sad. They had just heard the crying in the room.

Their little lady should be carefree, happy, and enjoy everything she eats.

I'm afraid something is still haunting me.

Chen Jingxi put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm not eating anymore."

Chu Jinghuai looked at her and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Chen Jingxi shook her head and said, "No, I'm full."

After saying that, he got up and lay down on the bed.

Chu Jinghuai ordered the servants to clear the food away, then he went to bed and took her into his arms. "Are you still unhappy? But what grievances have you suffered? This prince will help you vent your anger."

Chen Jingxi stared at the ceiling of the bed. "You can't help me."

"There is nothing in this world that I cannot accomplish."

Chen Jingxi smiled, "Chu Jinghuai, thank you."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Jingxi looked up at him and asked, "Can you do whatever I ask you to do?"

Chu Jinghuai nodded.

Chen Jingxi turned over and said, "Then I want to hear a story."

Chu Jinghuai: "..."

"I want to hear that horror story."

Chu Jinghuai: "..."

"Hurry up and tell me."

Chu Jinghuai racked his brains to come up with an idea of ​​how he once fought against a hundred enemies alone and beheaded them.

"This one is too gory. I want to hear the kind of love story between a human and a ghost."

Chu Jinghuai had no choice but to make one up.

I don’t know if Chu Jinghuai’s story was too boring, or if the bowl of calming soup worked.

Not long after, Chen Jingxi fell asleep again.

Chu Jinghuai gently put her down, covered her with a quilt, and then went out.

Han Yu was already waiting at the door.

"Speak." Chu Jinghuai said coldly.

Han Yu sorted out his thoughts and then told what had happened.

After Chu Jinghuai finished listening, he glanced over with a cold gaze and asked, "Did you miss anything?"

He couldn't believe that Chen Jingxi would cry like this because of a nightmare and because of two unrelated people.

There must be something here that he doesn't know.

Han Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, the princess seemed frightened when she saw the two siblings."

After hearing this, Chu Jinghuai closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ling Ying, go check the workhouse."

"Your Highness, do you suspect there's something fishy going on here?"

"There aren't so many coincidences in this world." He wanted to see what tricks the other party would play and whether he dared to use his princess as a scapegoat.

"Yes, I understand." Ling Ying turned and walked out.

Chu Jinghuai continued, "Lingfeng, go and find out what happened to the princess today. I want to know every word."

"There is also the princess's life experience from childhood to adulthood, especially a person she called mother. Find this person for me."

Ling Feng paused, but still replied: "Yes."
