After the beginning of winter, light snow arrives in the blink of an eye.

When Chen Chenyu got up, fine snowflakes were floating outside the window.

The sky in the distance also became gray.

Opening the door, cold wind rushed in, and she quickly wrapped her cloak tightly around her body.

"It's windy outside, Princess, please go in quickly, don't freeze." Shuo Yue said, carrying a steaming copper basin in, ready to help Chen Chenyu wash up.

Chen Chenyu took the handkerchief from her, looked at her hesitant expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shuo Yue knelt down directly and said, "I ask the princess to punish you for what happened last night."

"I don't blame you for what happened last night. Get up." Shen Chenyu paused and continued to wipe his face.

Shuo Yue bit her lip and did not move. "This slave is guilty. Please punish me, Princess."

Even without the beating from the prince, she still had to apologize to the princess for making such a big mistake.

Shen Chenyu put down the handkerchief and helped the person up, "Gu Junhui is a master of medicine and poisoning, especially his poison technique, which makes it difficult for people to guard against. It is reasonable that you fell into his trick. Don't blame yourself."

She had seen with her own eyes that Gu Junhui had poisoned someone and killed someone in an instant, which was extremely cruel.

For some reason, when Gu Junhui's poisonous skills were mentioned, a demonic figure suddenly flashed in her mind.

That man was also dressed in red and looked very charming.

He also has unrivaled poison skills and his attacks are vicious.

It's not that she hasn't thought about this before, but Xie Yuxuan and Gu Junhui are two people who can't compete with each other. In addition, their personalities are different, so she rejected this idea.

But with more and more contact, she found that they had too many similarities.

Is this a coincidence, or...are they the same person?

"Failure to protect the princess is a failure of the slave. If the princess does not punish the slave, the slave will go to the prince to ask for punishment." Shuo Yue pursed her lips.

Only then did Chen Chenyu come to his senses and help him up from the ground, "I'm a little hungry. Let's prepare breakfast first."

"princess."

"I want to eat meat buns and millet porridge, so I'll punish you to prepare them yourself." Shen Chenyu ordered.

She knew in her heart that if Shuo Yue was not punished, Shuo Yue would feel uneasy. If she was handed over to He Lianxiao, she would definitely lose her skin. Ever since Shuo Yue was sent to her side, he has been protecting her conscientiously. Last night was just It was an accident, she didn't want Shuo Yue to be severely punished.

Shuo Yue glanced at her in surprise, quickly understood her intention, and was immediately moved.

"Okay, go quickly." Chen Chenyu couldn't help but urge.

"By the way, Princess, the prince asked his servant to tell you that he is having a discussion with the imperial study room today. Emperor Northern Zhou, Princess Pingzhang, Master Wen, Master Mingzhe, and Master Shen are all here." Shuo Yue ordered before leaving.

Chen Chenyu suddenly understood something.

Since He Lianxiao already knew that Gu Junhui came to Yongning Palace last night before Shuo Yue fainted, he must also know what he said last night.

He did this... to give her a sense of security?

Last night, she was indeed a little worried when faced with He Lianxiao's concealment, but after waking up, she felt relieved.

He Lianxiao obviously loved her to the core, so what else could she think about?

She believes him.

…

After hearing her reaction, it was He Lianxiao's turn to feel depressed.

He thought that he must have explained too many things in detail, so that she felt confident.

However, when he thought that she was once so afraid of him, and now she was jealous of him, he couldn't help but slightly curl his lips.
