The door of the private room was opened, and Prince Jin looked at the scene in front of him with a cold face. There was another man beside him.
"Second brother, Master He, I..."
He Zhongyang's gaze lingered between the dagger on the ground and Chen Jingxi. His voice was cold and stern: "Princess, did you invite me here just to see how you harm Princess Su?"
Princess Yuzhen panicked and hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, Master He..."
He Zhongyang interrupted her, "Prince Jin, Princess Su, Zhongyang has something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying this, he turned his sleeves and left without even giving Princess Yuzhen a glance.
Princess Yuzhen hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Master He, wait a minute, listen to me..."
Seeing this, the maid in the room bowed to Chu Jingxun and went after her master.
Prince Jin looked at Chen Jingxi and asked with concern, "Third sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Chen Jingxi stood up, put his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Prince Jin sighed softly, "Yuzhen is used to being unruly and willful. I will report this to my father and ask him to punish her severely."
At this time, a deep voice sounded: "Don't bother me, Second Brother. I will seek justice for my own princess."
Prince Jin smiled faintly, "Third brother, you have arrived just in time. In that case, I will not interfere."
Chen Jingxi didn't care about the competition between them and expressed his gratitude to King Jin who had just saved him.
King Jin shook his head at her and left.
The show was over and the people watching at the door left one after another. Soon, they were the only two left on the second floor.
At this time, Chu Jinghuai said: "Princess, you are so stupid. You should not go out alone in the future."
Chen Jingxi sneered, "How can Your Majesty guarantee that your palace is safe? No one will break into your palace in the middle of the night?"
"The palace is definitely safer than outside."
"I don't see it, do I?"
Chu Jinghuai frowned, "That won't happen again."
"I wonder what the prince is talking about?"
"No one will break into the palace again."
Chen Jingxi stared at him, "Do you know that I was kidnapped?"
Chu Jinghuai avoided his gaze.
"You are such a good person, Chu Jinghuai. You watched me being kidnapped and did nothing. You made me suffer so much. I was wondering how it was so easy to take someone away from Prince Su's Mansion without any rumors."
"I didn't ask anyone to stop him because I didn't want to alert the enemy, but I won't let anything happen to you either."
"You say it so easily. If it weren't for my intelligence, I wouldn't know whether I was dead or alive now."
"Even if you hadn't used your trick to knock him out, you wouldn't have died."
Chen Jingxi squinted his eyes and looked at him. "How did you know I knocked him out? Did you send someone to monitor me?"
“That’s protection.”
"Protect? Chu Jinghuai, are you kidding me?"
"There's no need for me to lie to you." Chu Jinghuai coughed lightly, "Han Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure floated down from outside the window, then jumped into the room, knelt on one knee, and waited respectfully for Chu Jinghuai's instructions.
Chu Jinghuai nodded slightly.
"Han Yu greets the princess." Han Yu said respectfully to Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi looked at her carefully, "Are you spying on me?"
Han Yu raised his head and said, "It is me."
"Why didn't you save me that day?"
"The prince has ordered his subordinates to secretly protect the princess and not to rescue her unless absolutely necessary."
After hearing this, Chen Jingxi glared at Chu Jinghuai. Unless it was absolutely necessary, her life would still be there and there was no need to save her. What kind of order did this bastard Chu Jinghuai give? She was not a nine-tailed fox with nine lives to play with.
He took a deep breath and said, "So you threw that dart just now because you saw that I might die?"
Han Yu nodded.
Chen Jingxi picked up the dart in the corner. Yuzhen didn't drop the dagger because she was scared by King Jin, but because the dart knocked her dagger down.
Although she was rescued, Chen Jingxi still couldn't be happy. She couldn't appreciate this kind of heart-pounding drama.
The curve of Chu Jinghuai's lips deepened as he became more and more interested in the person in front of him, and she seemed to be more and more suitable to be his princess.
"Han Yu, you will be responsible for protecting the princess from now on. You must obey her orders in everything."
"yes."
Chen Jingxi asked curiously, "You listen to me in everything? Only me?"
Chu Jinghuai said, "Han Yu, from now on you only need to obey the orders of the princess."
"yes."
Chen Jingxi smiled and asked, "Han Yu, what can you do?"
"Assassination, espionage, disguise, tracking, if the princess needs it, I can also learn other things."
When Chen Jingxi heard this, the corners of her mouth widened. This meant that she had a loyal man who would do whatever she asked him to do.
It would be great if I could bring her back to modern times with me, and then let her work as a private detective and support herself, hahahaha.
Chu Jinghuai saw that her smile was becoming more and more obscene, and he wondered if his previous decision was the right one.
Chen Jingxi continued, "If I asked you to kill the prince, would you do it?"
Han Yu looked at her in surprise, then looked at Chu Jinghuai.
Chu Jinghuai took a deep breath and nodded. He knew that this woman was up to no good.
"Hahaha, I was just kidding. How could I possibly ask someone to assassinate the prince?"
Chu Jinghuai gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, you can try and see if you can kill me."
"Oh, don't be so serious. We are husband and wife. I can kill anyone and I can kill you too."
Chu Jinghuai was actually a little happy to hear this. She put him in the same camp and coughed lightly, "Stretch out your hand."
"what?"
"If I tell you to stretch it out, just stretch it out. Don't ask so many questions."
Chen Jingxi stretched out his left hand.
"Right hand."
Only then did Chen Jingxi obediently stretch out his right hand, which had been behind his back.
"Cold rain."
Seeing this, Han Yu hurriedly handed the medicine bottle in her arms to Chu Jinghuai.
Chu Jinghuai took the medicine bottle and said, "Step back."
Han Yu glanced at Chen Jingxi and said, "Yes."
Chen Jingxi looked at her originally smooth palm, which was now torn with a red mark and traces of bright red blood oozing out. Every time she moved slightly, she felt a sharp pain in the wound, making her frown.
"Does it hurt?" Chu Jinghuai asked softly.
Chen Jingxi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, this little injury is nothing. I often got bruises when I was a kid."
Chu Jinghuai frowned slightly. She was a rich girl, and she often got bruised when she was little? Could it be that her stepmother had been mean to her since she was little? Did she also have a hard time as a child?
Although Chen Jingxi said it didn't hurt, Chu Jinghuai still stubbornly blew on her wound gently.
The warm breath made Chen Jingxi's nose a little sour. After so many years, she suddenly felt cared about by someone like this. She really wanted to be pretentious.
"Chu Jinghuai, thank you." Chen Jingxi said softly.
