He Xue was very surprised that the Crown Prince would actually stop taking Jue Chan away. She stared at the Crown Prince, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
The Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh when he saw He Xue acting like a cat with its fur standing on end. Judging from He Xue's expression, if his reason didn't satisfy her, she would probably scratch him.
The prince touched his shoulder; there were still two red marks from last night's scratches with Xue!
He Xuejian touched the Crown Prince's shoulder and lowered her head guiltily. Last night, the Crown Prince had been tormenting her, and she had grabbed him in a fit of anger.
"Second Brother, is there anything else you need?" The Eighth Prince looked at the Crown Prince's lingering expression and then at He Xue's shy face. As someone who had been through similar experiences, he naturally knew what had happened between them.
The Eighth Prince secretly clenched his fists. He wanted power, he wanted supreme power, to take back everything he had lost.
"The execution will take place tomorrow!" the Crown Prince declared. "I will send men to oversee the operation tomorrow. I have said that it is inappropriate for blood to be shed within three days of my wedding!"
"Yes!" the Eighth Prince replied through gritted teeth.
"Juechan clan, I advise you to wait patiently. If you dare to cause any trouble, I will make the entire Juechan clan pay with their lives!" The Crown Prince did not want He Xue to bear any bad reputation because of Juechan clan.
"This servant obeys the decree!" Juechan could only obediently reply. Since she was going to die anyway, she thought that ending her own life might at least cause trouble for Hexue. She never expected that the Crown Prince would block all her escape routes.
"Elder brother, elder sister-in-law, Xue and I will return to the palace first!" The Crown Prince said to the eldest prince and his wife as he stood up.
"Alright, let's go back!" the eldest prince said.
He Xue gave Tana a few more instructions before returning to the Crown Prince's side.
"Are you finished?" the Crown Prince asked He Xue.
"Okay, that's all!" He Xue said.
"Let's go back!" After saying that, the prince picked up He Xue and carried her away.
"Put me down!" He Xue said, her face flushed, "There are so many people watching."
"You're injured!" the prince said.
He Xue was too lazy to argue with the Crown Prince anymore. She couldn't win the argument anyway, and she had already lost face, so what difference would a little more time make?
As the Crown Prince carried He Xue out of the Eighth Prince's carriage, a voice rang out.
"Your Highness!"
[A woman's voice?] Kazuyuki looked up in the direction of the sound.
The eldest prince and his wife, as well as the eighth prince and his wife, also arrived at the door to escort the crown prince and He Xue.
[Xu Yan?] The eldest prince hadn't expected Xu Yan to still be in the capital. [Didn't the second prince have the third prince send her away? What was the third prince thinking?]
The Eighth Prince's face held a cryptic smile; he knew that Xu Yan was a restless person.
When the Crown Prince saw that He Xue wanted to see who it was, he turned around and saw Xu Yan. He was also very surprised and cursed the Third Prince in his heart. What kind of person is he? He can't even handle this simple matter!
The Third Prince, who was at the Ministry of Rites, sneezed three times in a row. He rubbed his nose, thinking, "Could it be that my wife misses me? I must get back to the manor quickly!"
He Xue turned around and saw that it was indeed a woman. From her clothes, it was clear that she was a Han Chinese woman. She had a kind of gentle beauty that made He Xue, who was used to seeing women in cheongsams, feel refreshed.
He Xue glanced at the Crown Prince secretly, but he didn't seem to have any particular thoughts.
"Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace that day!" Xu Yan curtsied to the Crown Prince.
"Just say what you need. There's no need to beat around the bush. After all, I'm not the one who saved you. Besides, a lot of time has passed. If you really cared, you wouldn't have waited until today to thank me!" the Crown Prince said impatiently.
Xu Yan blushed and turned pale with embarrassment at the Crown Prince's words. She saw that the Crown Prince was holding someone in his arms, which must be the Crown Princess. She wondered what the Crown Princess looked like. Did she and the Crown Princess have any similarities?
