Chapter 65 Your Highness, please give me a quick death!

Pei Yuan must not see her breast wrap!

Shen Chu reacted extremely quickly, grabbing his inner garment with one hand and clenching his other hand into a fist, punching Pei Yuan's eyes swiftly and fiercely.

hiss!

Caught off guard by the punch, Pei Yuan instinctively closed his eyes and gasped for breath.

"Chen Chu!"

The roar was so loud it could almost lift the roof off.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Chu quickly fastened the belt of her short-sleeved outfit.

Fortunately, her shorts weren't torn, otherwise her identity as a woman disguised as a man would have been exposed today.

Just as I finished fastening the belt, a strong gust of wind hit my ear.

She rolled to the ground, barely dodging Pei Yuan's punch.

When she looked up and met Pei Yuan's face, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yeah, she bumped my right eye and punched my left eye, leaving a bruise.

One dark circle under each eye, perfectly symmetrical.

"Is it funny?" Pei Yuan looked at her with a sinister gaze.

Shen Chu suddenly stopped laughing, looking completely innocent.

"It was Your Highness who first used the snake to frighten me. In my fear, I inevitably made some emergency reactions. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"It's just an indigo snake that won't attack people, yet you're so terrified. You coward."

No, it won't attack people?

Shen Chu blinked and slowly turned her head to look at the small snake that Pei Yuan was holding in his hand.

Upon seeing the blood-red snake's forked tongue, she couldn't help but freeze again.

When Pei Yuan let go, she instinctively trembled.

The little snake landed on the ground and slowly crawled towards the door.

They really won't attack people.

She let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "This humble subject didn't know it wouldn't attack people. Your Highness scared this humble subject first."

"Ha, you still have the nerve to talk back? I really regret not pinning you to the bottom of the lake earlier. There are no mechanisms at the bottom of the lake. Let's see how you struggle then."

Why did we suddenly start talking about mechanisms again?

Shen Chu's eyes widened suddenly.

It turns out this guy knew she had tricked him with the machine tool, so he deliberately threw the snake to scare her.

Tsk, they're vengeful.

"What? Feeling guilty?"

Pei Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Shen Chu's collar. "A dignified censor, I never expected you to be a liar full of lies."

"I now suspect that your earlier claim that you only touched my abdomen was a lie."

Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put on a fawning smile.

"No, no, Your Highness, I only used the cleaver to retrieve my purse. Your Highness also frightened me with the snake earlier. Do you think we can even things out now?"

"Even?" Pei Yuan scoffed. "You touched me, then hit me, and you still want to even things out?"

"What does Your Highness wish to do?"

"Only by twisting your head off and kicking it like a ball can I quell the hatred in my heart."

Pei Yuan's captivating peach blossom eyes flashed with cold anger as his gaze swept over Shen Chu's neck, seemingly weighing where to begin.

Shen Chu felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze.

Sigh, she got so angry just from touching his belly. If Pei Yuan knew that she not only touched his belly but also slept with him, he would probably kill her.

She gritted her teeth, tilted her head back, and looked at Pei Yuan with a pleading expression.

"Your Highness knows that I have defiled you and cannot escape death. Please grant me a quick death today."

After saying that, she closed her eyes, looking as if she was calmly facing death.

Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in them.

Shen Chu is as cunning as a fox, full of tricks and schemes. How could he possibly give up the struggle so easily?

"I didn't realize you were so fearless."

"Yes, I am afraid. So Your Highness, please be quick. I am afraid of pain."

Shen Chuyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips were pressed tightly into a straight line, but she insisted on hugging her arms and pushing her neck forward again, but her trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.

"Heh, very good."

He raised his hand and slashed fiercely at Shen Chu's neck.

Shen Chu froze completely. No way, this guy's serious?

Isn't sincerity supposed to be the ultimate weapon?

She was so sincere, yet Pei Yuan still wanted to kill her. How ruthless!

The palm wind slid past my neck, but the expected pain did not come.

She quietly opened one eye, only to see Pei Yuan suddenly release her collar and withdraw his hand.

Does this mean they're not planning to kill her?

"I've suddenly changed my mind. Twisting off your head directly would be too easy for you."

Pei Yuan withdrew his hand, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

Shen Chu let out a long breath, "What does Your Highness wish to do?"

Pei Yuan looked down at her, "This prince will keep you alive to torture you slowly. I will only twist your head off when I have vented my anger."

Shen Chu... is quite perverted.

"Your Highness!"

"Young Master!"

Sun Yan and Hongxiu's voices could be heard outside.

The two entered one after the other, each carrying clean clothes.

Shen Chu was overjoyed; Hongxiu's arrival was truly timely.

She took the clothes, not daring to provoke Pei Yuan, and said, "Your Highness, please change your clothes first. I will wait outside."

Pei Yuan sneered, "Dare to peek? I'll gouge out your eyes."

Shen Chu...do you think I really care to watch this?

However, this guy's physique is actually quite good-looking.

She obediently went outside to wait, carrying her clothes, and asked Hongxiu, "How did you know I was here? And you even came looking for me with Guard Sun?"

Hongxiu said, "When I heard that you had fallen into the water, I took your clothes and searched for you everywhere. Later, I heard from Guard Sun that you were here, so I came here with you."

Shen Chu was puzzled. How did Sun Yan know she was here? Could it be that Pei Yuan sent him a message?

Remembering that Pei Yuan had just tried to twist her head off, Chen Chu immediately rejected her guess.

Pei Yuan is a vengeful, capricious, and ruthless man; he would never be so kind.

The sound of Sun Yan and Pei Yuan talking could be heard from inside the room.

"Your Highness, what happened to your eyes?"

"I got punched by a fox's paw."

"Oh? This fox is quite skilled, it fought quite well on both sides... um, evenly."

"roll!"

As soon as the door opened, Sun Yan was kicked out and saw Shen Chu and Hong Xiu staring at each other in the doorway.

He scratched his head. "Young Master Shen has been with His Highness the whole time. Did you see the fox that attacked His Highness?"

Shen Chu remained expressionless. "All I see is a dog that likes to bite."

Sun Yan was even more confused. Foxes and dogs? He had never heard of so many animals near Mochou Lake in previous years.

The door to the wooden house opened, and Pei Yuan came out wearing a dark red brocade robe. He took off the jade crown that bound his hair and tied it up with a black hair tie, making him look more dashing and unrestrained than usual.

He glanced coldly at Shen Chu, "A dog that likes to bite? Hmm?"

Chen Chu chuckled, then chickened out and slipped into the cabin with his clothes in his arms.

With Hongxiu watching outside, she felt reassured and changed all her wet clothes, including her bodice.

When they came out again, Pei Yuan had already left.

She breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the dragon boat race with Hongxiu.

As soon as he arrived, Li Chengxuan ran over anxiously, "You're finally back! Everyone was saying you fell into the water. I looked all over but couldn't find you. Are you alright?"

Shen Chu shook her head. "It's alright, don't worry."

Li Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

A palace attendant approached and said, "His Majesty is at Canglang Pavilion. He has summoned Lord Shen to come and see him."

Shen Chu patted Li Chengxuan on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to see the emperor first. The competition is coming up soon, so you can practice your drumming some more."

Canglang Pavilion is built on Mochou Lake. A winding bridge connects it to a two-story building on the shore for resting. It is large and spacious and is a grandstand specifically for watching dragon boat races.

When Shen Chu entered Canglang Pavilion, the Third Prince was kneeling on the ground, crying with a face full of grievance.

"Father, after receiving Shen Chu's love poem, I felt it was really inappropriate. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear with Shen Chu today."

Who knew that as soon as I went in, Chen Chu pounced on me and tore at my clothes.

Your subject admits that you are somewhat playful in your daily life, but you absolutely do not have that kind of interest, so you naturally and firmly refuse Shen Chu.

Shen Chu was so ashamed by her son's scolding that she said she had no face to see anyone, so she jumped into the water.

Just then, the Empress entered with her entourage, insisting that her son had forced and humiliated Shen Chu.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I beg you to do me justice!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chu's heart sank.
