The relationship between the two has not made much progress. Since Shen Yuerong subconsciously kept him in her house, she didn't know what kind of rumors would spread outside today.
At noon, Chi Mu returned home and had lunch with Shen Yuerong, but he never mentioned what happened last night.
But she felt a little embarrassed because she had heard the truth from the people below her.
It took Chi Mu a long time to notice her abnormality.
"What's wrong? Is your head still aching from the alcohol you drank yesterday? Do you need some hangover soup? I'll remember that no matter what happens, I won't let you drink like this again."
Thinking of Shen Yuerong's appearance yesterday, Chi Mu shook his head.
I've never seen her drunk before, but she's never been like that.
"I lost my composure yesterday and made a fool of myself. Just think of yesterday as a dream."
"It's not out of control, but it's kind of cute."
Chi Mu poured her a cup of tea, then thought of what he had said when he entered the palace today, and spoke again.
"I went to the palace to congratulate His Majesty on the New Year this morning, and I told His Majesty about the things between you and me. However... now I can't give you a legitimate wedding!"
Chi Mu wanted to welcome her home as soon as possible and never be controlled by others in his life.
But in the end there was nothing I could do.
He looked at her in embarrassment, "I..."
"I have long told you that I, a divorced woman, cannot easily become your wife, but you just didn't believe me. Now you can rest assured."
"I don't accept it."
Chi Mu still looked at her firmly, "I will definitely marry you."
Although Shen Yuerong also hopes that something like this will happen one day, it is currently facing many difficulties.
It was the New Year and there was nothing important to do, so Chi Mu rested in the room next to Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong felt something was wrong at first, but she couldn't persuade him and had to go with him.
But some people didn't want them to live in peace, so during the New Year, some people came to their door.
But no one thought it would be him.
Shen Yuerong changed her clothes in a hurry, and when she rushed to the main hall, she saw the two of them sitting and drinking tea.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
At the palace banquet that day, although she had glanced at him from afar, Shen Yuerong felt that he was a little too shady and did not dare to associate with him.
The prince looked at her, then at the chessboard on the table.
"The prince lost this game of chess."
Chi Mu looked at the chess pieces on the board and put them back to their original positions helplessly.
"It's my poor chess skills that prevent me from competing with the prince. I've made a fool of myself for him."
The prince picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and spoke as if he was chatting, "Miss Chen's love with the man in the general's mansion was a sensation in the capital. At that time, many young men in the capital envied her. Why do you suddenly want to divorce the general now, and even get entangled with the prince in just a few days?"
He hit the nail on the head and even directly pointed out the relationship between the two of them.
"Don't you feel that this is a shame to the General's Mansion and to your own heart?"
Chi Mu simply pulled Shen Yuerong to sit behind him, leaving the prince with a curious look but without any explanation.
"Why are you so scared, Your Majesty? I can't eat anyone. I just want to see... what the woman who can win your heart looks like?"
"Just an ordinary person."
Chi Mu stood up coldly and said, "I didn't know that the Crown Prince would come today. I had other things planned with her, so I won't accompany the Crown Prince. It's snowing and cold, so you should go back early."
He took her hand, said this, and turned away.
The prince looked at the two of them as they left, his eyes full of calculation.
Since I failed to kill him last time, there will definitely be a next time.
This was the first time Shen Yuerong saw Chi Mu in such a messy state, and she found it somewhat funny, "What's wrong with you?"
This was the first time I met the prince. Shen Yuerong didn't quite understand the game between them.
"In the future, if I'm not around, don't find excuses to send the prince away, and you must never meet him in private."
"I know the prince is in danger, so I naturally cannot go to see him in person. But seeing you in such a hurry, as if a little rabbit saw a wolf, you shouldn't be like this."
He always had his plans in mind and could handle all kinds of challenges posed by the prince with ease.
Even during the last chase, although he was trapped in the woods for a long time, he was never harmed at all.
"Before, I was just one person. As long as I hadn't done anything wrong, even if the prince wanted to control me, he would still have to think twice. But now that I have you, I have a weak spot. I guessed right. The prince was probably involved in the incident at the general's mansion last time."
"You also think that he would not have done these things alone, and there must be other people helping him?"
Chi Mu nodded and sighed, "Although I was not involved in what happened to you in the General's Mansion, I heard Fang Mu say it several times. I will never allow you to be involved in such painful days. If the prince still does not know how to restrain himself and wants to put you in danger, I don't need to show him any mercy."
Shen Yuerong looked at him with a gloomy expression and tried to persuade him, "These are just our speculations. Even if the prince really did something, we have no evidence to prove it. Even if we bring this matter to His Majesty, His Majesty will not blame the prince for it. He can only accept this loss."
The prince has always been ruthless in his work. Those who have ever worked for the General's Mansion disappeared without a trace overnight.
When Chi Mu wanted to capture the person, he was already gone.
This matter has been suppressed and is no longer as rushed as before.
"This prince, it seems that I really need to teach him what the rules are. Now that you are my woman, how can you let him persecute you at will?"
Although he is in the capital now, one day he will leave here because of an assignment. Then only Shen Yuerong will be left, and life will not be difficult.
"It's a happy day, why are you thinking about these things? You might as well think about something else. Today is the first day of the new year. You said you would prepare my new year's present for me, but I haven't seen it yet. Are you just kidding me?"
Chi Mu quickly spoke up, "How dare I bluff you? I just encountered some difficulties. I originally wanted to ask His Majesty to grant me marriage as a wedding gift."
