"You're lying to me?" Shen Zhiyi's body was being pulled and tugged, and her breathing was still rapid.

"Worried about me?"

Shen Zhiyi was furious and tried to push him away, but after pushing and shoving for a long time, the body in front of her was as hard as a rock and she couldn't move it no matter what she did.

"Yiyi, you still say you don't care about me?" He smiled.

"I already cared about it..."

The last word, "you," was swallowed between their lips. A trace of medicinal taste lingered on his lips, which melted between them and then ground into a burning heat.

He kissed her gently.

Little by little,

In-depth,

aggression,

In this respect, he seemed to be self-taught, but Chen Zhiyi was still awkward and breathless. Zhou Xuance lightly kissed the corner of her lips.

"Yiyi, you may be stubborn, but when you kiss... your lips are incredibly soft."

One sentence made Shen Zhiyi's face turn bright red.

"How can you be so shameless?" she said, biting her lip.

Her lips were a little swollen from the kiss, and now that she was biting and sucking on them, her eyes were red, probably because she couldn't breathe properly earlier.

This scene was even more unbearable for Zhou Xuance.

"Yiyi".

"Um?"

"One more kiss..."

Zhou Xuance's words sounded like a question, but he didn't give her a chance to refuse. When the burning kiss landed again, Shen Zhiyi felt her head go blank.

Shen Zhiyi thought more than once that he might really have been poisoned.

Otherwise, why would I always want to be all lovey-dovey?

They're very clingy.

"I'll take you somewhere." Zhou Xuance led her out of the side hall.

Upon entering the study, he opened a hidden door in front of her. Shen Zhiyi immediately smelled a faint sandalwood scent. Only after following him inside did she discover that the memorial tablets of the late emperor and Consort Xiao were enshrined there.

"Father, Mother, I am getting married today. This is Shen Zhiyi, my wife. I brought her here to introduce her to you."

I offer incense and kowtow with a heavy branch in mind.

When I followed him out of the study, I learned that the wedding banquet had already ended.

Shen Zhiyi only heard Hongrui say, "The second young master drank too much and talked a lot with Miss Zheng."

"Miss Zheng? The youngest daughter of the military governor?"

"right."

Chen Zhi was suspicious.

My brother said that Miss Zheng was so delicate and seemed quite disliked, so how come he's talking to her again?

Zhou Xuance was in poor health, so Shen Zhiyi escorted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor away.

The Empress Dowager held her hand and patted it gently, saying earnestly, "Good child, I know you've been wronged. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will never let you suffer."

Shen Zhi nodded with a muffled groan.

"It's getting late, let's go back," Emperor Xiaoxuan said.

After watching the group leave, Shen Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she returned to the side hall, the person who had been feigning illness was still lying in bed. After dismissing everyone around her, she finally let out a long sigh of relief, "It's finally over."

"The end?" Zhou Xuance slowly rose to his feet. "This night has clearly only just begun..."

Shen Zhiyi frowned, feeling that his words had a deeper meaning.

But when she pressed him for details, he refused to say anything.

The Prince's mansion had a large hot spring pool. The maid said that hot water had been prepared, and Shen Zhiyi was just about to take a bath when she heard a servant rushing in in a panic. He stumbled along the way, his face pale, and knelt in front of the bridal chamber, crying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Zhou Xuance coughed twice, signaling Shen Zhiyi to speak.

"What happened?"

"His Majesty...His Majesty was assassinated after leaving the Prince's Palace!"

Shen Zhiyi was shocked and looked at Zhou Xuance in surprise. She casually pushed open the door and went out, asking a servant, "Has His Majesty been assassinated?"

"It is absolutely true, His Majesty has been injured."

Who carried out the assassination?

"I don't know. It's said that two people were captured alive, but they were Deadpools who hid poison under their tongues. The moment they were captured, they bit into the poison pills and committed suicide."

"And what about His Majesty?"

"They say he was hit by an arrow, but his current condition is unknown."

The assassination attempt on the Emperor is a catastrophe. As a member of the royal family, Shen Zhiyi naturally has to go and see what's happening, but her sickly husband is certainly unable to accompany her.

That night, the palace was brightly lit.

All the palace maids and eunuchs on duty were trembling with fear, seeing danger everywhere.

As they approached the palace where the emperor was staying, they found several guards who had been beaten to death in the courtyard, and their bodies were being carried out.

The officials in charge of the security of the capital region, as well as almost all the military officers in the capital, were present. They all knelt outside the palace, at the foot of the imperial city. Such a heinous act had occurred, and almost any official involved in security would be punished.

Even the military officers stationed outside the capital were summoned for questioning.

After all, assassins have infiltrated the city, and with such audacity. If investigated thoroughly, none of them will escape punishment, except…

My father, who had just been stripped of his military power.

He had no military power and thus escaped disaster.

Shen Zhiyi clenched her fingers slightly and hurriedly entered the hall. The imperial physician was treating Emperor Xiaoxuan's wounds, while the Empress Dowager, all the concubines in the harem, and the princes and princesses were all anxiously waiting for news.

"Imperial Physician, how is the Emperor?" the Empress Dowager asked anxiously.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the arrow that struck His Majesty was poisoned. We do not yet know what kind of poison it is, but His Majesty has been given an antidote."

"poisonous?"

The Empress Dowager felt dizzy and disoriented. If the Empress hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have fallen to the ground. "Your entire Imperial Hospital can't diagnose what kind of poison it is? Let me tell you, if anything happens to His Majesty, your entire Imperial Hospital will be ruined."

The imperial physician was also trembling with fear.

There are countless poisons in the world. If it were someone else, they might be able to try to detoxify, but Your Majesty is of noble birth, and no one dares to act rashly.
