Xiao Yunxuan's body was shocked. He didn't expect that even though he disguised himself so perfectly, he was still recognized by Xiao Jinyan.

He glanced at the bed and saw clearly two pillows under the covers.

It seems that Qiu Kui’s death was real, but it was just a trap set by Xiao Jinyan to trick him.

Since Qiu Kui is dead, Xiao Jinyan can do nothing to him as long as he doesn't admit it.

He suddenly pulled off his veil, revealing his true appearance, and grinned twice, "Prince, the guards in your East Palace are too lax. I was just testing you, but you still need to be on guard."

Xiao Jinyan looked at the shameless Xiao Yunxuan and sneered: "Brother, you broke into the East Palace at night and wanted to kill people to silence them. Do you still want to deny it?"

Xiao Yunxuan asked knowingly, "What did the prince mean? I don't understand."

Xiao Jinyan said slowly: "Brother, you went to the wrong room. Qiu Kui is in the next room, and she has confessed."

Xiao Yunxuan's face changed. Qiu Kui was really saved? This is impossible!

impossible.

Xiao Yunxuan continued to deny: "Prince, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You should explain it to father." After Xiao Jinyan said this, he took two steps to the side.

Xiao Yunxuan had a bad feeling. He looked towards the door and saw his father, dressed in a dragon robe, walking slowly in. He was stunned.

The emperor stared coldly at Xiao Yunxuan with his sharp eyes, and said in a stern voice: "Prince Xuan, what do you want to do by breaking into the East Palace during the night shift?"

Xiao Yunxuan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Father, I am innocent. I have been wronged."

Xiao Jinyan, I didn't expect you to be so scheming. I was deceived by you.

Now the only way to survive is to refuse to admit it.

The emperor shouted angrily, "How dare you quibble? You wore night clothes and held a sword to break into the East Palace at night. Do you think I am a fool?"

"Father, I, your son, am just..."

Before Xiao Yunxuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor coldly: "I have said that I hate brothers killing each other the most. You actually dared to poison the prince and ignored my words. I don't have a son like you."

Xiao Yunxuan was so frightened that his body trembled. He looked at Xiao Jinyan hurriedly, "Prince, please tell father clearly that I did not poison you. This is all a misunderstanding..."

Qiu Kui walked in slowly from outside. She looked at King Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Prince Xuan, you tricked me into poisoning the Crown Prince, saying that you would take me as a concubine. I didn't expect that after I did it, you would poison me to death. If it weren't for Your Highness's trick, I would have died long ago."

After Qiu Kui finished speaking, she knelt down before the emperor and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I was ordered by Prince Xuan to poison the Crown Prince. Everything I said is true and I have never lied."

When Xiao Yunxuan saw Qiu Kui appear in front of him alive, he was completely dumbfounded. He was actually tricked by Xiao Jinyan.

hateful!

The emperor said coldly: "Prince Xuan, with all the evidence gathered here, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Yunxuan's face turned pale. He crawled forward a few steps, grabbed the emperor's clothes, and begged for mercy, "Father, I was wrong. Please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!"

The emperor ordered coldly: "Come here, lock Prince Xuan up in the clan residence. Without my order, you are not allowed to take a single step out."

Two guards walked in together, pressed Xiao Yunxuan to the ground, and walked out.

"Father, I know I was wrong. I beg you to have mercy on me!"

As the guards walked away, Xiao Yunxuan's shouts gradually weakened.

The emperor had a gloomy face, but when he looked at Xiao Jinyan, he softened a little, "How is Concubine Shen's health?"

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "Father, after the imperial physician's treatment, he is now fine."

The emperor nodded, "That's good. If it weren't for Shen Liangdi, the consequences would be disastrous."

After the emperor left, Xiao Jinyan knew that his father was reluctant to kill Xiao Yunxuan because he was his son.

At midnight, Xiao Jinyan was returning to his bedroom and passing through an intersection. He looked in the direction of Xiyun Pavilion, thought for a while, and then walked over.

Xiyun Pavilion was quiet. Everyone else had fallen asleep, except for the little rabbit who was on night watch and Chunxi.

Chunxi was a little sleepy, and when she heard footsteps, she woke up instantly. She looked up and saw a slender figure lifting the door curtain and walking in.

She hurriedly got up and bowed, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan ordered calmly: "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

"Yes." Chunxi trotted out.

The hot water was ready in a short while.

Chunxi took two steps forward and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, I will help you undress."

Xiao Jinyan refused coldly: "No, leave."

"Yes." Chunxi replied and then walked out.

Xiao Jinyan undressed himself and stepped into the bathtub.

The warm water wrapped around the body and relieved the fatigue of the day.

He hasn't slept a wink from last night till now.

Now that Xiao Yunxuan's problem has been solved, I have finally solved a problem. The stone in my heart has been temporarily lifted, and I feel a lot more relaxed.

As he was washing his body, his hand touched the scar on his chest. He usually didn't feel anything, but when he touched it, it was excruciatingly painful.

He held his chest and waited until the pain subsided before continuing to wash his body.

After taking a shower, Xiao Jinyan wiped his body with a dry towel, then slowly put on his clothes and walked out from behind the screen.

There were only four lights on in the room and the light was very dim.

Xiao Jinyan walked slowly to the bedside, raised his hand to lift the bed guard, looked towards the bed, and saw Shen Chuwei sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms.

He put down the bedspread, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, lifted the corner of the quilt, got into bed in his slippers, and lowered his eyes to look at Shen Chuwei holding the quilt. If he didn't pull it out, he wouldn't be able to cover himself with the quilt at all.

The temperature is extremely low at night in winter, and it is still very cold even if there is red charcoal burning in the house.

Xiao Jinyan reached out and pulled the quilt in her arms. It would have been fine if he hadn't pulled it. As soon as he pulled it, she turned sideways and held more quilts in her arms.

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to wake her up, "Xiao Jiu, how can I sleep like this?"

Shen Chu was sleeping so soundly that Xiao Jinyan's low voice had no effect at all.

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to call again, "Xiao Jiu?"

Shen Chu was half asleep, and when she heard Xiao Jiu, she thought she was dreaming again. She muttered in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? You always call me in my dreams."

Xiao Jinyan's hand caressed her voluptuous little face, his eyes fell on her pink lips, thinking of the light kiss last night, the soft touch, mixed with the scent of peach blossoms and tea.

It seemed to be right at his lips, making him want to taste it again.

Shen Chuwei felt like a caterpillar was crawling on her cheek, which was a little itchy. Finally, it crawled to her mouth.

She impatiently stretched out her hand and slapped it, trying to swat the caterpillar away, but the caterpillar was not slapped away, but was held tightly by a big hand, which woke her up instantly.
