"It's nothing serious. I just came to apologize to you." Chen Lianmo looked at Xun Niannian motionlessly. He moved slightly and took a step forward.

His sharp face was full of apology: "I'm sorry, when I saw you being held hostage by an assassin, I rushed forward impulsively, which angered the assassin and almost caused you to..."

The conversation stopped here.

Looking at that handsome face full of regret and guilt, Xun Niannian suddenly couldn't bear it.

She has never been able to dislike handsome guys.

What's more, he was the hero in the book she once pursued.

Even though Xun Niannian kept telling herself in her heart that she should not be influenced by the book, she was still affected to some extent.

"Fourth Prince, there is no need to blame yourself. You meant well at that time." Xun Niannian pursed her lips and said in a nonchalant tone.

However, I felt a little strange in my heart.

At that time, the Fourth Prince suddenly appeared, rushed up and started to attack, and then stabbed the assassin in the throat with a sword, so that he died without even a chance to breathe.

Did the Fourth Prince really want to save her?

Or is it to... silence someone?

As soon as she thought of this, Xun Nian Nian immediately threw away the idea that suddenly popped up in her head.

The Fourth Prince shouldn't be that kind of person...

Chen Lianmo's deep eyes were dark, still filled with guilt: "Although you don't blame me, I can't help but care. If something really happens to you because of this, I... I'm afraid I will never be able to forgive myself in this life."

Chen Lianmo's words made Xun Niannian not know how to respond.

"Your Highness, what you said is... too serious. If something really happens to me, I can't blame you. I can only blame my bad luck and that assassin for being so abominable! What's more, I am not in any trouble now!"

"Yeah, luckily you're okay." Chen Lianmo's tightly knitted brows finally relaxed a little, and he said in a tone of relief.

"So, the Fourth Prince doesn't need to blame himself for this anymore." Xun Niannian raised her eyes to the sky. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The Prince might already be waiting for me outside the Dongwu Gate. The poison in his body has just been eliminated, and he still has an injury on his shoulder. We can't keep him waiting for too long."

There was a hint of deliberateness in Xun Niannian's words.

The implication is: If you really feel so guilty, you should apologize to your brother Chen Lianhe.

He was the one who was really hurt.

Having said that, Chen Lianhe’s injury was indeed somewhat related to Chen Lianmo.

At that time, if Chen Lianmo had not appeared so abruptly and had not attacked the assassin so suddenly, the assassin would not have been so enraged.

Even if Chen Lianhe stepped forward to save her, he would not be so caught off guard that he failed to dodge and was stabbed by the hidden weapon.

Chen Lianmo was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Xun Niannian meant. His eyes flickered as he said, "In that case, I will send you to the East Meridian Gate. It's a good opportunity for me to apologize to my sixth brother."

However, just as he finished speaking, a cold voice came over.

"No need to trouble Fourth Brother."

As these words were spoken, Xun Niannian raised her eyes and saw Chen Lianhe walking towards her.

He had been stabbed by an assassin before and his clothes were stained with blood, so he changed his clothes.

However, most people in the palace knew that Chen Lianhe liked to wear purple clothes, so they still prepared a purple brocade robe for him.

The man in the purple brocade robe was tall and straight, handsome and incomparable. The sunlight shone on him, as if he had been coated with a layer of light, shining brightly and making people unable to take their eyes away.

The only slight flaw was that the man was injured on his shoulder and one of his arms was hung up with white gauze, which slightly affected the appearance.

When Chen Lianhe came to Xun Nian Nian and Chen Lianmo, he stopped and bowed slightly to Chen Lianmo.

"Fourth brother just said he wanted to apologize to me?"

He said slowly, "You don't need to apologize, but next time you encounter a situation like today, you don't have to be so hasty, and you don't have to kill the assassin so badly. You should leave him alive."

"Even if it's nothing else, like today, if the bad guys put poison on the dagger and hurt someone, we can force them to give us the antidote."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I am lucky today. Nian Nian happened to have a rare all-purpose detoxification pill that can cure the snake venom. If not, I am afraid that my life would really be over!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lianmo's eyes became even colder.

He looked at Chen Lianhe, his sixth brother who used to be gentle and peaceful. His eyes flickered slightly, revealing a gleam of inquiry.

In fact, Chen Lianmo had long known that his sixth brother was probably not as simple as he seemed.

If he really had a gentle and easy-to-bully character, how could he really control the three divisions?

However, Chen Lianmo still didn't really take him seriously.

At this moment, he couldn't help but re-examine his sixth brother.

He said, "Sixth brother said that I don't need to apologize, but every word he said is ultimately a complaint against me. I caused you to suffer this disaster today, so it is right for Sixth brother to blame me."

Chen Lianhe did not respond.

He glanced at Xun Niannian who was standing beside him, and reached out to hold her hand.

"If Fourth Brother has nothing else to do, Nian Nian and I will take our leave."

Without rushing to move, he continued, "Nian Nian is my princess now. It is not appropriate for Fourth Brother to look for her alone. Also, I will protect my princess myself. There is no need for Fourth Brother to do anything. Fourth Brother, just protect your own people!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Lianmo to say anything else, he turned around and left, taking Xun Niannian with him.

Chen Lianmo stood where he was, quietly looking at the two figures moving further and further away, and clenched his fists.

"My Lord, you are here!"

A sudden voice behind him brought Chen Lianmo back to his senses.

When he turned around, all the emotions in his eyes had disappeared, and his clenched fists had loosened without a sound.

Zhu Yunlu looked at the two figures that just disappeared around a corner in front of her, and then looked away.

"Your Majesty, were the ones who just left the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess?"

"Yeah." Chen Lianmo nodded.

Zhu Yunlu smiled and said with emotion: "The Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess are so loving, I am so glad that nothing happened today!"

There was a hint of envy hidden in the smiling eyes.

Chen Lianmo glanced at her, and a cold light flashed across his eyes again.

He sneered, "Love is something that is real and fake. I'm afraid only they themselves know it best!"

"Didn't you see that the toad's blood was still on the Sixth Princess's arm?"
