He knew it was because the person who brought him into the palace was Yun Chuwei.

He told his father that he did not want to set off immediately, but wanted to depart in five days.

The Emperor said that anything was fine as long as Yun Chuwei agreed.

The Emperor even said that preparations for the wedding can now begin.

Once he returns, we can get married immediately.

He walked up to Yun Chuwei and whispered, "Weiwei..."

Yun Chuwei looked at him and smiled, "What's wrong?"

He reached out and took Yun Chuwei's hand, whispering, "I don't want to leave right away. I..."

He felt uneasy.

He knew Yun Chuwei was definitely planning something, so he sent him away.

Yun Chu smiled and said, "I've already told His Majesty about this. Isn't it too late for you to say you don't want to go now?"

Xie Xuan pursed his lips slightly; it wasn't that he didn't want to go.

He wants to go!

He was also afraid that if something happened in the capital after he went there, he wouldn't be able to get back in time.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go. I told my father I'd go in a few days. He said if you agree, then it's fine!" Xie Xuan said.

After saying that, he looked at Yun Chuwei and said gently, "Weiwei, okay? I'll go again in a few days."

Yun Chuwei nodded: "Okay! Whenever you think it's appropriate to set off, then set off!"

Xie Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

As the two left the palace side by side, they unexpectedly encountered Xie Sheng and Cui Yuetuan, who had come from the Eastern Palace.

Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised: "Are they going to pay their respects to His Majesty and the Empress?"

Logically speaking, these two should have gone to pay their respects in the morning.

Xie Xuan knew what Yun Chuwei was thinking, and he said in a low voice, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince not only vomited blood, but also fainted, which is why he postponed his visit to the Emperor and Empress Dowager this morning until now!"

Yun Chuwei was slightly surprised and asked, "Is Xie Sheng sick?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan remained silent, only biting her lip slightly as she looked at Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei noticed his gaze and couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you have that expression? Do you think I'm concerned about him?"

Xie Xuan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Yun Chuwei reached out and tapped his head, saying, "Xie Xuan, sometimes, you can be really stupid?"

Xie Xuan was still uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not worried about him?"

"Yes!" Yun Chuwei said, somewhat annoyed. "Of course I care about him!"

Xie Xuan was taken aback, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Yun Chuwei couldn't bear to tease him any longer and moved a little closer to him: "I care when he dies! Is that not allowed?"

Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei and noticed her serious expression, which gradually put him at ease.

Xie Xuan said softly, "In the last life, when you were with Xie Sheng, you never paid attention to me. This time, when you're with me, don't pay attention to him either, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "How do you know that I didn't pay attention to you in my previous life?"

Xie Xuan was slightly taken aback, then said seriously, "You never look at me!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei couldn't help but move closer to Xie Xuan, and said with a smile, "Why did you say I never look at you? Is it because you've been looking at me the whole time!"

Xie Xuan pursed her lips.

She is right.

He kept looking at her; whenever she appeared in his sight, he kept looking at her.

As Xie Xuan was thinking, she saw Xie Sheng and Cui Yuetuan approaching.

He dragged Yun Chuwei into another palace path and hid by the wall.

He trapped her between himself and the palace wall, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Yes, I've been watching you. But you never even glanced at me. Several times I saw you standing by the palace wall, dressed in light white, waiting for the Crown Prince. Do you know what I was thinking then?"

Yun Chu smiled and asked, "I don't know what you were thinking at the time?"

Xie Xuan grabbed her slender waist, pressed her against the fiery red palace wall, leaned down, and kissed her lips.

He lifted her up slightly, supporting her with his body.

His kiss came on strong, giving her no chance to catch her breath.

It seems to want to possess all her sweetness, to seize and extract it.

He only pulled away from her lips when they were both having difficulty breathing.

He pulled her tightly into his arms, panting as he spoke, "This is what I wanted to do back then. Weiwei, while you wait for the Crown Prince, I wanted to pin you against the palace wall and kiss you fiercely. I also wanted to... wanted to think about so many things..."

Yun Chuwei reached out and hooked her arm around Xie Xuan's neck, looking at him and smiling, "If that's what you think, then why didn't you tell me? If you didn't tell me, how would I know? If you didn't tell me, how would you know I didn't agree?"

Xie Xuan: ...

Yun Chuwei pinched Xie Xuan's cheek and laughed, "You're so silly! Don't you know you're much better looking than Xie Sheng? And I only like looking at good-looking people!"

Xie Xuan was taken aback. He looked at Yun Chuwei and asked instinctively, "Really?"

Yun Chu raised her head slightly and kissed him on the lips, even giving him a light bite: "Really? If you had told me sooner, I would have..."

Xie Xuan's heart trembled slightly.

At this moment, all he wanted was to pull Yun Chuwei into his arms and meld her into his very bones.

He took her hand and led her toward the palace gate.

He couldn't stay here; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself...

Yun Chuwei followed behind him and saw Xie Sheng and Cui Yuetuan not far away again.

She whispered, "You still haven't told me what happened at the Eastern Palace!"

Xie Xuan took a deep breath, calming the palpitations within her body.

He whispered, "Our spies in the Eastern Palace have sent word that the Crown Prince vomited blood from anger! It was the Crown Princess who angered him!"

Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised to hear this.

She couldn't help but glance at Cui Yuetuan again.

Xie Xuan continued, "After Cui Yuetuan returned, she immediately used an aphrodisiac incense on the Crown Prince, and the two consummated their marriage last night! This morning, the Crown Prince felt that Cui Yuetuan had impure him, so he drew his sword to kill her. Cui Yuetuan mocked the Crown Prince, and he vomited blood!"

Yun Chuwei: ...

The once gentle and delicate girl who valued love above all else and would elope with the person she loved without hesitation seems to have completely changed.

He has become a person with ideas and methods.

She had initially worried that Cui Yuetuan would not have a good life after entering the Eastern Palace.

Looking back now, she handled these matters with remarkable ease!

Xie Xuan continued, "Do you know for whom the Crown Prince intends to remain chaste?"

Yun Chu pursed her lips but did not reply.

Xie Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "You! He wants to remain chaste for you!"

Yun Chuwei: ...

-

Xie Sheng and Cui Yuetuan also met Yun Chuwei and the other person.

Cui Yuetuan smiled at Yun Chu from afar.

Yun Chuwei returned her a smile.

Xie Sheng sensed the interaction between the two and his face darkened.

His expression darkened further when he saw Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan walking hand in hand.

But he couldn't help but take a few steps forward and stop Xie Xuan and Yun Chuwei.
