Chu Younan looked outside again, then turned to Su Bei and said, "You really didn't see it? The mother-in-law even asked you if you could eat two pounds of beef!"

Su Bei retreated a little, but he felt like there were ghosts all around him...

Before Chu Younan could speak, Ling Xiao said, "Your Highness, do you want to eat noodles? I'll go knock on the door of the restaurant and ask them to make it for you! Or you can go back to the mansion and ask the cook to make it for you."

Chu Younan didn't answer, because he saw Su Bei staring at him with murderous eyes. After a moment, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly became tearful, and her little fists punched his chest again and again.

"Chu Younan! I know you almost scared to death, right? I thought you really saw a ghost! I was worried that you saw that thing, and you..." She couldn't continue speaking.

Chu Younan suddenly felt guilty, and he quickly comforted her, "I was wrong, I just wanted to play a joke on you, who knew you..."

I didn't know you would think so much...

He hugged her tightly.

When he was with Mo Qingying before, he had never had this feeling, the feeling of being loved and cared for.

This is what true love is...

——

Chu Youheng returned to the palace, and he felt like he was floating. He had been thinking about how much effort he would have to put in to get to the top position, but today, he actually took such a big step closer! Seeing that he had a smile on his lips today, Jiang Ruwei was also very happy. She followed him silently, thinking that she should spend New Year's Eve with her, the princess.

The two walked silently to his Qingxin Pavilion, one in front and one behind. He was suddenly awakened by the voice of the servant in the courtyard, "Greetings to the prince, greetings to the princess."

Chu Youheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Ruwei who was following behind him. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing following me? How many times have I told you? No one is allowed to enter Qingxin Pavilion without permission!"

The sudden rebuke startled Jiang Ruwei. She said in panic, "My Lord, I thought today is New Year's Eve..."

"I'm tired! I need to rest!" After saying that, Chu Youheng turned around and slammed the door in front of Jiang Ruwei.

The servants' attitude towards the princess depends on Chu Youheng's attitude. Although Jiang Ruwei has a good family background, she was sick with lovesickness for Prince Su before, and she escaped when Prince Su was seriously ill, which made people in the capital look down on her. What's more, Chu Youheng still has this attitude towards her...

Jiang Ruwei suddenly felt the contemptuous looks from all around her.

Chu Youheng's servant Zhu Yi stepped forward and said indifferently, "Princess, the prince has rested, you should go back early!"

Jiang Ruwei turned around silently, and her maid Luxiu followed behind. As soon as they arrived outside the Vermillion Bird Pavilion, they heard the maids in the courtyard chattering.

"Sister Qingsuo, it's been less than a month since you entered the palace, and you've been favored by the prince three times. I'm afraid you'll become his wife soon, right?"

"Hey! The prince said that I have a better figure than the princess, and my waist is softer than hers. I am not as sickly as her, and I can't even serve you all night..."

"She stays in the boudoir all day long, and she pretended to be sick a while ago. I'm afraid her body is as weak as a cotton ball! Sister Qingsuo, please help me later and ask the prince to accept me as his wife!"

"That's not a big problem. You have to follow me closely. I have a day off these two days. If the prince calls me, I'll ask you to go!"

"Sister, you are so kind!"

Jiang Ruwei clenched her fists. She was in the Rui Palace, surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind!

But Chu Youheng didn't call Qingsuo tonight. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he liked to go down to the secret passage to see the people he imprisoned. Whenever he was in a good mood, he would do so even more.

It’s just that when he is in a bad mood, he likes to beat people, but when he is in a good mood, he wants to see other people.

When he reached the end of the corridor, he pressed his hand on a green brick. The stone door in front of him made a creaking sound and a golden light appeared inside the door.

He took a few deep breaths and walked lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people inside.

The walls here were covered with gold foil, as were the tables and chairs, and even the utensils were made of gold, which was magnificent. But the woman leaning against the head of the bed did not look very happy, even in her dream, she still frowned.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, but her white hair looked out of place.

Chu Youheng stepped forward, knelt before her devoutly, reached out to hold her silver hair, and murmured, "Sister..."

Bei Shijing, whom she called sister, suddenly opened her eyes, dodged abruptly, and said in a hurry: "What are you doing?!"

Chu Youheng's eyes were full of tenderness. He stared at the woman in front of him blankly, but did nothing. It seemed that just by having those dirty thoughts, he was desecrating the woman in front of him...

Bei Shijing has been here for more than five years. Even though she has seen this kind of look from him many times, she still feels - disgusted.

Yes, he, they, are disgusting!

It was only the belief in revenge that kept her alive.

After a long while, Chu Youheng slowly spoke, "Sister, if you need anything, just tell me."

"You know exactly what I lack." Bei Shijing said lightly.

Yes, he knew it very well. Imprisoned in this dark place, the only thing missing was freedom.

He smiled apologetically, "Sister, you know I can't, please wait a little longer, wait for me..."

Thinking that he had the possibility of ascending the throne, his eyes suddenly sparkled and he said excitedly, "It will be soon! That day is coming sooner than I thought. When I become emperor, I will make my sister the queen!"

Bei Shijing looked at him with a pair of puzzled eyes, "What happened to the emperor?"

"Nothing, I'm just going to be the legitimate son soon!" Chu Youheng was so excited that he leaned forward and got closer to her, "Sister! I'm going to be the legitimate son soon! Did you know?!"

He had been here when Chu Younan was seriously injured, and when Chu Youchen was disabled, so Bei Shijing had a general idea of ​​the situation outside. Chu Youheng had made so many preparations to ascend to the throne, so he would definitely seize this opportunity.

She closed her eyes, sighed softly, and said nothing.

Chu Youheng tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart and slowly stood up. "Sister is tired, I will leave now, you wait, this Wu Kingdom will definitely be yours!"

After saying that, he slowly withdrew.

All the way out of the corridor, he could hardly suppress his excitement, as if he would become the legitimate son tomorrow, the crown prince the day after tomorrow, and ascend the throne the day after tomorrow.

His only two wishes were that Bei Shijing treated him sincerely, and the world.

At this moment, these two wishes seem to be about to come true.

Chu Youheng felt that he could hardly control himself. He took out a small bottle from the secret compartment at the head of the bed, poured out a blood-red pill from it, drank it with his head tilted back, and then ran out of Qingxin Pavilion.

It was late at night and there were almost no people walking around in the palace, but Chu Youchen was lucky enough to meet a girl dressed as a maid, and he didn't know which courtyard she was from.

Without a moment's hesitation, he dragged the girl into the woods nearby...
