This was not the first time Xiao Jinyan undressed her.

During the autumn examination, Chunxi was not around, and it was Xiao Jinyan who took the initiative to change the medicine for her.

Now I'm taking the initiative to undress her, the atmosphere feels a bit wrong.

Xiao Jinyan had never helped a woman undress before, and this time he suddenly felt like it.

Originally, I just wanted to undress her so that she could sleep more comfortably.

This will give me other thoughts.

He unbuttoned her clothes while observing her reaction. Her cheeks were visibly flushed, the kind of blush that only a shy little girl would have.

He continued to take off her dress. Women's clothes were more complicated and intricate than men's. It was his first time, so he was inevitably a little unfamiliar with them.

Shen Chuwei always felt that Xiao Jinyan was doing it on purpose. He was moving at such a slow speed that it didn't seem like he was taking off his clothes.

"Your Highness, I'll do it myself." As she said that, she swiftly took off the rest of her clothes, then lifted the quilt and got in.

Although there is a saying that goes "You can't escape the fifteenth if you don't try", it's only a matter of time.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her shy behavior and instead of being annoyed, he found it somewhat cute. However, the rare opportunity to practice was gone.

Women's clothes are indeed a bit troublesome.

Xiao Jinyan joked: "You are so shy now, how shy will you be then?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan with a cold face and saying such seductive words. Isn't it time yet?

"...turn on the lights then."

Xiao Jinyan understood it literally, that if he couldn't see, he wouldn't be shy.

Shen Chuwei looked at the posture of the two. Xiao Jinyan's hands were on her sides, leaning over to look at her.

She yawned and asked, "Your Highness, have you found the thing?"

"Found it. Lu Zhaoyan took it back for research. He should be able to break the curse soon. You don't have to worry."

Only by lifting the curse can you feel truly at peace.

How could such vicious witchcraft suddenly appear in the palace?

Feng Zhaoshun was just an ordinary woman with a simple family background, which was too suspicious.

Shen Chuwei looked at the tiredness between Xiao Jinyan's brows and thought that he must not have gotten enough rest in the past two days.

"Your Highness has been working hard for me these past two days. Please rest early."

Xiao Jinyan pinched her brows and said, "Well. I'll go take a bath." After that, she stood up and went to take a bath behind the screen.

Xiao Jinyan had finished his bath and came to the bed in a single layer of clothes. He lowered his eyes to glance at the person who had fallen asleep.

He lifted the quilt and lay down beside her, then turned sideways and stared at her sleeping face for a while.

His eyes fell on her lips, and he couldn't help but move closer to kiss her.

Shen Chuwei, who was originally drowsy, became a little more awake because of this kiss.

Fortunately, it was just a light kiss, and he left before she opened her eyes.

Some were shocked that the aloof and aloof prince would actually kiss a girl secretly.

She simply pretended to be asleep and didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Jinyan lay down again. He was indeed very busy these days. He only worked for two hours every day. Even a strong man could not stand it.

The next day, when Xiao Jinyan woke up, he found Shen Chuwei lying very flat, not at all like she usually slept.

He knew that this was due to witchcraft and it would be very dangerous to continue sleeping like this.

When Xiao Jinyan came, he saw Lu Zhaoyan studying the puppet.

"Haven't you found a way to resolve it yet?"

Lu Zhaoyan said: "Your Highness, not yet. This witchcraft is a curse with resentment, which is difficult to resolve. It also shows that the person who created the curse has a deep hatred for Shen Liangdi."

Xiao Jinyan said: "Shen Liang Di did not provoke Feng Zhaoshun, it's just that I couldn't stand it and punished her."

Lu Zhaoyan pointed at the spell on her belly and said, "The reason why Shen Liangdi has a false pregnancy pulse is because of this spell. This spell is easy to break, but the steel needle on the puppet is not easy to pull out, for fear of backlash."

Xiao Jinyan frowned upon hearing this, "Then you should think of a solution quickly."

"I'm thinking about it." Lu Zhaoyan carefully read the book his master left for him.

Xiao Jinyan paced back and forth in the study anxiously.

Feng Zhaoshun died suddenly, Xiaoxiang Pavilion was sealed, and His Highness went to Hehuan Palace every day. People in the East Palace had already started talking about it.

Concubine Xu went to the Hehuan Palace twice but was turned away every time, so she had to return home.

On the way back, I met Tao Chenghui.

Tao Chenghui stepped forward and bowed, a faint smile on his lips, "Where are you from, Concubine Xu?"

Concubine Xu was a little puzzled. "I went to Hehuan Palace, but unfortunately I couldn't get in. I heard that Shen Liangdi was critically ill, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"These are just rumors." Tao Chenghui sighed, "I haven't seen Shen Liangdi for a few days, and I don't know how she is doing."

"There have been a lot of rumors in the East Palace these days. First, it was said that Shen Liangdi had an affair with a guard, and now it is said that Shen Liangdi will not live long. I don't know why they are so mean."

Concubine Xu said bitterly, as if she was going to slap those people in the face, "And that Feng Zhaoshun, I have always disliked her, but I didn't expect her true nature to be exposed so quickly. It's a pity that she overestimated her own abilities."

"That's how it is in the palace. They will do anything to win favor. Fortunately, Feng Zhaoshun's plan did not succeed." Tao Chenghui paused and continued, "Your Highness takes Imperial Physician Wen to the Hehuan Palace every day. I don't know what's going on with Concubine Shen."

Chang Liangdi passed by Yixiang Palace and stopped when she heard someone talking. When she heard this conversation, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Shen Liangdi had been neglected by His Highness for many days, and she used her seductive tactics to gain favor, and then some pillow talk, and her position as Crown Princess became unstable.

Now it seems that Shen Liangdi is most likely to fail, as we have lost a strong competitor.

Chang Liangdi turned to Huaixiang and said, "Go back."

Huai Xiang followed in small steps, "My lady, Shen Liang Di has been competing for your favor in every way, and now she is reaping the consequences."

"Be careful with your words." Chang Liangdi scolded angrily. She had suffered a loss once. Fortunately, her aunt didn't hear anything, otherwise it would be all over.

Huai Xiang lowered her eyes and replied, "I understand."

Chang Liang Di ordered: "Prepare some delicious snacks. I need to go to the Hehuan Palace."

Huai Xiang asked doubtfully, "My lady, Shen Liang Di is almost dying, what are you still doing?"

Chang Liangdi raised the corners of her lips, "Doesn't Your Highness go to the Hehuan Palace every day? Then I will pretend to do so and give Your Highness a good impression."

Huai Xiang suddenly realized, "I will prepare it right away."

Huaixiang prepared three delicious snacks and went to the Hehuan Hall with Chang Liangdi.

The little rabbit had been guarding the door. When he saw Chang Liangdi coming, he stepped forward to stop her and said, "Chang Liangdi, Shen Liangdi is not feeling well and is not suitable to see guests."

Chang Liangdi said gently, "I'll come and see her and then leave. It won't take up any time."

The little rabbit saw Xiao Jinyan coming and knelt down to salute, "Your Highness."

Chang Liangdi turned around and saw Xiao Jinyu standing behind her. She bowed and said, "May your highness be blessed with good health."
