The Chu family is extremely loyal and devoted to their family. If they see how good you are to Chu Yan, they will have complete faith in you after Chu Yan's death.
With the support of the Chu family, she will help King Xiao ascend the throne, and she will become the most honored woman in the world.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed, and Chu Yan emerged unscathed, even becoming suspicious of them.
King Xiao pondered for a moment with a somber face, then spoke in a sinister voice, "It's alright, if we fail this time, we'll think of another way."
Our goal is to injure and paralyze Chu Yan, so you'll take care of her day and night, moving the Chu family and Chu Yan. As long as she gets sick, that's fine; if that doesn't work this time, we'll give her a slow-acting drug.
"Slow-acting medication? What kind of medication?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Yun's eyes.
"I will send someone to find a poison doctor and have him develop a poison that will slowly deplete a person's body, eventually leading to paralysis. When this poison is given to Chu Yan, people will think she has some kind of illness."
"But the Crown Princess seems to know medicine. Could she cure my sister?"
"No, this time I sent someone to find the world's number one poison doctor. No one but himself can cure his poison."
In the pitch-black night, his expression was obscured, but Xiao Wang's vicious words could be heard.
Chu Yun didn't find the words particularly malicious; instead, a surge of hope rose in his heart.
She immediately cupped Xiao Wang's face with joy and pressed her lips to his.
Leave a soft and affectionate kiss.
"Your Highness, you are truly amazing! With you here, Yun'er feels very reassured!"
King Xiao was overwhelmed by her kiss and held her head in his hands, deepening the kiss.
The atmosphere inside the room instantly warmed up, and in the quiet night, the sounds of their lips pursed could be heard.
After a long while, King Xiao reluctantly released Chu Yun, slowly concealing the resentment in his eyes.
"You're injured, you can't today. I'll wait until you're better."
"Yes, if you can wait all these years, Yoona isn't in a hurry either."
Chu Yun nodded reluctantly, and the two exchanged a tender glance.

At the other end of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, the candles were extinguished, and moonlight peeked in through the cracks in the windows.
On the large bed, Chu Yan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the moonlight falling on the ground, forming mottled streaks that shone on the ground.
The scene of Xiao Wang holding Chu Yun during the day kept flashing through her mind. She tried hard to convince herself to believe in Chu Yun and Xiao Wang.
After all, Chu Yun was the kind of person who risked her own life to save her back then, and she and Prince Xiao had been a loving and harmonious couple for so many years.
If there were really something, it would have happened long ago; I shouldn't be so suspicious of them.
But she couldn't stop thinking about it, especially Su Liluo's words, "Prince Xiao appeared just in time," which kept echoing in her mind.
I spent a sleepless night.
The next day, not long after she had finished washing up, Madam Chu, Chu Yan's mother, and her two brothers arrived at the Xiao Prince's residence.
Chu Yan went to the hall to see them in person.
"Yan'er, are you alright? I heard that a tiger appeared on the Second Princess's estate yesterday. Fortunately, His Highness Prince Xiao arrived in time and killed the tiger."
When Chu's mother saw Chu Yan come out, she immediately went to greet her with concern.
The news of the tiger appearing at the Second Princess's residence yesterday quickly spread among the city's nobles.
When Chu's mother heard that Prince Xiao was carrying an injured woman out, she didn't know whether it was Chu Yan or Chu Yun who was injured; she only knew that it was a woman from Prince Xiao's mansion who was injured.
She was extremely worried, fearing that Chu Yan had been injured.
"Mother, I'm fine. It's Yoon-ah who's hurt."
Chu Yan stepped forward and took her mother's hand, explaining.
"Yoona? Was she injured again while protecting you?"
At this moment, the eldest brother of the Chu family, who was standing to the side, spoke up and asked with a puzzled expression.
Chu Yan glanced back at her older brother and said, "No, it wasn't for me this time. I don't know how a tiger appeared, and Yoona ran into it."
"Is it serious? How is Yoona doing now?"
Chu Ciyuan, the eldest brother of the Chu family, asked with concern.
"Yes, is Yoona badly injured? Why don't we go check on her together!"
Upon hearing this, Chu's mother also inquired with concern.
Only the second brother of the Chu family remained calm and said nothing.
Chu Yan nodded lightly, "Then I'll take you to see Yoona!"
They arrived at Chu Yun's room, where the doctor had just changed her dressing. She was much better than she had been the day before.
Although I can't stand up, at least it doesn't hurt as much anymore.
When Chu Yun saw his mother and the two Chu brothers arrive, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he struggled to go and greet them.
"Aunt Chu, Brother Chu, Second Brother Chu, what brings you here?"
"Yoona, you're hurt! Lie down and don't move!"
Chu Ciyuan saw that Chu Yun was about to get up, so he quickly spoke up to stop him.
Chu Yun then stopped what she was doing and said with a touched expression, "Thank you for coming to see me this time. Yun'er is fine, so don't worry too much. Luckily, it was Yun'er who was injured this time. As long as my sister is not injured, Yun'er is fine."
"Yoona, you are so kind-hearted. You are still thinking about Yan'er. Yan'er is so lucky to have you as her sworn sister."
Upon hearing Chu Yun's gentle words, Chu Ci couldn't help but praise him, his gaze filled with admiration as he looked at Chu Yun.
However, Chu Yan sensed something strange in Chu Yun's words.
Why does Chu Yun's statement make it sound like she was injured for her sake?
Even though this had absolutely nothing to do with her, the way she said it made it seem complicated.
Chu Cilin, the second brother of the Chu family, shared the same feelings as her.
He frowned slightly and asked directly, "Wasn't this none of Yan'er's business? Did you save Yan'er's life again?"
Chu Yun's smile suddenly faded, and she said awkwardly, "No, what Yun'er meant was that it was fortunate the tiger didn't hurt you, sister."
"Oh, I see. If you hadn't explained it clearly, we would have almost thought you had saved Yan'er's life again. Turns out you didn't. It's better not to be so ambiguous."
Chu Ci sighed casually.
Although he knew that Chu Yun had once saved Chu Yan's life, Chu Cilin just couldn't bring himself to like or be grateful to Chu Yun.
While others may not know, he is certain in his heart that he could have directly saved his sister Yan'er when she was in danger last time without causing any loss.
However, Chu Yun appeared out of nowhere and ran in front of Yan'er to block the sword.
Everyone thought that Chu Yun saved Chu Yan's life, but she knew that even without Chu Yun, she could have saved her sister herself.
I don't know why Chu Yun suddenly pounced on me at that moment.
However, because his mother, sister, and older brother all protected Chu Yun, he could only keep this matter to himself.
