There was only a candle left in the inner room. Xiao Jinyan walked slowly to the bedside, lifted the bed curtain, and looked at the sleeping person in the faint candlelight.

When they went to Qimeng Palace tonight, she was still worried that Xiaojiu would be suspicious and not believe him.

It turned out that he was worrying too much and she wasn't worried at all.

This should have been something worth being happy about, but for some reason, seeing the sleeping Xiao Jiu, it seemed that he didn't care at all whether he stayed overnight in the Dream Palace.

He stared at the person on the bed for a long time, and was about to undress and go to bed when he suddenly heard a bird chirping.

This is a secret code, indicating that someone is looking for you.

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to quickly fasten his waist belt and leave the Hehuan Palace.

In the prince's bedroom, Liu Xi said with a flattering smile: "Eunuch Li, please wait a moment, His Highness will be out soon."

Eunuch Li was a servant in front of the emperor, so his status and rank were naturally higher than Liu Xi, so he had to be polite when speaking.

Eunuch Li glanced at the tightly closed door. Although he felt a little anxious, he still nodded patiently, "I'll just wait a little longer."

After waiting for a while, Xiao Jinyan strode out. When he saw Eunuch Li, he knew that his father was looking for him most likely because of Princess Xueyan.

At this time, the imperial study was brightly lit.

Xiao Jinyan walked in and stepped forward to greet him: "Father, why did you summon me here so late at night? Is there something going on?"

The emperor asked in a cold voice: "Prince, why did Princess Xueyan get poisoned on the day of her service?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Father, according to the diagnosis of the imperial physician, Concubine Xue was poisoned by a chronic poison for some time. She fainted today because the poison spread throughout her body."

The emperor did not expect that Princess Xueyan had been poisoned by a chronic poison, and the queen did not explain it to him clearly.

"Did you find out that Xueyan was poisoned?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Replying to Father, not yet."

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Then find out as soon as possible and give Princess Xueyan an explanation."

Xiao Jinyan: "I obey your command."

After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Jinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went straight back to the Hehuan Palace.

Shen Chuwei was still sleeping soundly.

After Xiao Jinyan undressed, he opened the bed curtain and lay down beside Shen Chuwei.

The matter of consummating the marriage with Princess Xueyan was temporarily resolved.

The issue of offspring has not been resolved yet.

What he is worried about now is that his father will not let it go.

He wants real power.

In this way, his father will be a little afraid of him, and he will not be restrained everywhere.

Xiao Jinyan thought a lot that night and did not sleep at all until dawn.

Shen Chuwei had been sleeping in the same position for a long time and was used to turning over. She touched a hot body, and at first she didn't know it was a body, she just felt it was very hot against her, so she pushed it away in annoyance.

It didn't work, so she reached out and found something wrong. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a piece of snow-white skin just within reach.

And on it, there are three red marks, clearly visible.

"Have you seen enough?"

A slightly hoarse voice came from above my head.

Shen Chuwei raised his head and was immediately captivated by a pair of sparkling eyes, unable to look away.

Until her hand was grabbed by an extremely beautiful hand, she blinked her beautiful eyes twice.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her with a half-smile, "Why are you like a little wild cat, scratching people even when you're asleep?"

Shen Chuwei thought Xiao Jinyan was praising her, "When did Your Highness climb into bed last night? How come I didn't notice it at all?"

"It was too late last night, something happened." Xiao Jinyan paused, and then explained: "Concubine Xue was poisoned last night, and the imperial physician treated her until midnight."

Shen Chuwei understood immediately, "So His Highness did not consummate his marriage with Concubine Xue last night."

Xiao Jinyan rubbed her hair which was a little fluffy after a night's sleep, "I will not consummate my marriage with them, I just need to deal with them for a while. When I am strong enough, there will be no need."

Shen Chu looked at Xiao Jinyan with a slightly bent brow, "I believe in Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help laughing when he heard her boasting tone, but then he covered it up.

If these words came from someone else, he would just feel annoyed.

When Xiaojiu said this, I felt like laughing.

"When did you learn fortune-telling?"

Shen Chuwei said seriously: "I can't tell fortunes, but I have a very good eye and I won't make a mistake."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her extremely serious eyes and felt a little dazed for a moment. He always felt that this pair of extremely serious eyes was familiar.

"Well, I won't let you down."

Shen Chuwei was a little hungry at this moment. She looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, are you going to get up?"

"Let's get up later." Xiao Jinyan put his arms around Shen Chuwei's slender waist, holding her in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Shen Chuwei hurriedly pushed Xiao Jinyan away, covered her mouth and said, "I haven't washed up yet."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Xiao Jinyan laughed softly: "I haven't washed yet."

As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist, pulled it away, and lowered his head to continue kissing her.

Shen Chuwei was somewhat unable to withstand Xiao Jinyan's attack.

In the past, we always had sex before going to bed.

This was the first time we had sex in the morning.

Shen Chuwei was a little confused: "Your Highness, don't you have to attend the morning court?"

"Take a rest today." Xiao Jinyan buried his head in her neck, smelling the unique fragrance on her body.

On the way, Shen Chuwei was still thinking about breakfast, but the prince was not yet satisfied.

Chunxi came to wake up Shen Chuwei for breakfast. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a thin, discordant voice coming out.

She was stunned at first, then she covered her face and ran out.

She bumped into his strong chest, causing her to see stars and it took her a long time to react.

Qin Xiao didn't expect someone to suddenly appear, and it was a woman. If he dodged, he would definitely fall to the ground.

Just catch her and grab her to prevent her from falling.

When their eyes met, they were both stunned.

Qin Xiao discovered that the person who bumped into him was Chunxi, and it happened more than once. Her face was red, like a ripe apple.

The point is, this face looks familiar.

"Is it you?"

Chunxi didn't expect that she would touch Qin Xiao again. Her already red face turned even redder. She pushed Qin Xiao away guiltily, "It wasn't me."

After saying that, he wanted to run away.

Qin Xiao was a martial artist, and after he reacted, he quickly grabbed Chunxi's wrist and pulled back the person who was trying to run away.

Chunxi treated him like this time and again, just like a local ruffian, so he had to talk about it today.

"Why are you running? Why are you running? Can I eat you up?"

Qin Xiao raised his voice in a hurry.

Chunxi, a delicate girl, was really frightened.

"Why are you so fierce?"

"I'm not being mean to you. I just want you to know that I, Qin Xiao, am not that kind of person."
