Yao Jinzhong received the imperial edict and did not dare to delay. He led two young eunuchs and hurried to the princess's mansion, feeling as if he was holding a rabbit in his heart.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway there, he met Chu Hong who had just returned from outside. He was holding a rather unique looking lantern in his hand.

Seeing Yao Jinzhong, Chu Hong was surprised for a moment, then asked:

"Eunuch Yao? Where are you going?"

Yao Jinzhong's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile, "Your Highness, I am following His Majesty's orders to go to the Princess's residence."

He deliberately did not mention inviting Prime Minister Xie to the court, because he was afraid that Chu Hong would ask why he went to the princess's mansion to find Prime Minister Xie.

But it was a coincidence.

"It just so happens that I also happen to be going to look for my sister. If Eunuch Yao doesn't mind, why not go together?"

Chu Hong said this, turned around and walked forward.

Yao Jinzhong suddenly couldn't say anything about what he had to say.

No way?

this……

If Prince Rui went to the princess's residence now, wouldn't he find that Prime Minister Xie was also there?

"Your Highness is very busy, and I would be sorry to waste your precious time."

Chu Hong didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, I just don't have anything important to do today, so I brought back a good thing from outside. I believe the princess will be interested."

Looking at Chu Hong's leaving back, Yao Jinzhong wanted to bite off his tongue.

He winked at Little Li behind him, telling him to take a shortcut to the princess's residence and better to inform Xie Xiang in advance so that he could avoid it.

I could only bite the bullet and follow.

Soon, they arrived at the princess's mansion.

When the doorman saw Yao Jinzhong and Chu Hong coming to visit at the same time, he hurried over to greet them.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Yao, the princess hasn't gotten up yet."

Chu Hong couldn't help but feel puzzled, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It's almost noon now. Did something happen in the princess's mansion last night?"

The concierge was choked for a moment, not knowing how to describe it.

In the morning, the servants were shocked to see Xie Yunqi suddenly appear in the princess's mansion.

But later, Prime Minister Xie specifically instructed everyone to keep the noise down so as not to disturb the princess's rest.

The servants in the princess's mansion were all carefully selected, so they naturally understood the meaning of these words and immediately realized it.

Well, it looks like Prime Minister Xie and the princess are about to get married.

Seeing the doorman hesitating for a long time without saying a complete sentence, Chu Hong suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Forget it, I'll go find the royal sister myself."

"Hey, Your Majesty..."

By the time the servants came to their senses, Chu Hong had already strode into the courtyard of the princess's mansion.

He was tall and had long legs, so he quickly walked into the backyard.

Just as he was about to push the door, it was opened from the inside.

"Emperor…sister…"

The next second, after Chu Hong saw clearly who was in the room, all his words got stuck in his throat.

The air around seemed to freeze in an instant.

"Xie Yunqi!?"

"Why are you here?"

Chu Hong's eyes suddenly widened, and his entire body's defenses instantly reached full strength. A sense of unease suddenly swept over him.

"Shh!" Xie Yunqi put his index finger to his mouth and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Then he glanced at the bed behind him and turned sideways to block the spring light in the room.

"I've been tired all night and just fell asleep. If you don't want to wake His Highness, please talk outside if you have anything to say."

Chu Hong's expression was about to change, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to quarrel at the door at this time.

The two of them walked out of the garden in tacit understanding. Chu Hong was walking in front, but suddenly stopped halfway when he thought of something.

He suddenly turned around and his eyes stopped at Xie Yunqi's neck.

There was a scratch there, faintly visible, and it was particularly conspicuous against his fair skin.

Upon seeing this, Chu Hong was stunned on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

He stared at the red mark, anger boiling in his chest.

"Oh! Prime Minister Xie is so elegant that he comes to 'pay his respects' to the imperial sister so early in the morning?" His tone seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Xie Yunqi slowly gathered his clothes to block out the alluring sight of spring. A provocative smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Isn't it the same for the prince?"

"I have not seen the princess for several months. I am just unable to control my emotions, so I indulged myself a little."

"But since the prince has no sweetheart, I don't think he can understand the feeling."

Chu Hong sneered, his knuckles cracking.

"Prime Minister Xie, are you... treating the Princess's Mansion as your own home?"

"Don't you know? My sister is already engaged? She's going to marry Qin Yuan soon!"

Xie Yunqi chuckled lightly, his tone lazy: "The engagement is just a temporary solution. Who is in the princess' heart? Can't the prince see it?"

"you……"

After a pause, he continued, "Your Highness is so concerned about your Highness's private affairs. Could it be that he has some thoughts that he shouldn't have?"

These words were like a knife, directly piercing through Chu Hong's most secret thoughts.

"But since the prince has chosen this identity, he can only be the prince of Da Chu for the rest of his life."

"From today on, I will stay at the Princess's residence every night to sleep with her. If Your Majesty does not have any urgent matters, please refrain from coming to the Princess's residence in the future."

boom!

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The rationality in Chu Hong's eyes instantly collapsed. He suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and pressed it against Xie Yunqi's neck!

If you move forward an inch, you will be killed!

When Yao Jinzhong walked in, he happened to see this terrifying scene.

"Your Majesty! His Majesty is still waiting for Prime Minister Xie to come to the court to discuss matters. Please, please stay calm..."
