The cold night was quiet, with only the occasional rustling of the wind. Su Cixuan felt increasingly uncomfortable. At this time, he still had to deal with affairs. The road to the position of prince and heir apparent was too difficult!

After walking out of the corridor and around the corner, she saw light in the study from a distance, and the figure inside could be vaguely seen through the window paper. Su Cixuan stopped and stopped walking forward.

"Princess, don't you go in and take a look?" Su Xin asked in confusion.

"No." Su Cixuan shook her head. She just wanted to take a look. He was busy with official duties, so why should she bother him. Besides, there were other people in the study discussing matters with him.

Just when Su Cixuan turned around and was about to go back, she suddenly heard the sound of the study door opening. She subconsciously looked back and saw a man in night clothes coming out. Looking at the figure, Cixuan felt that the person who came out seemed to be

It's a woman. I can't help but,

Her eyes followed the figure who came out. The person seemed to sense that someone was looking at her, and glanced in the direction of Cixuan. Su Cixuan was hiding in the shadows, and the visitor did not see Cixuan and the two of them.

Then he withdrew his gaze and left through another path.

At that moment, Su Cixuan forgot to look back, and she paused. When the man looked in her direction, with the faint light of the lantern under the eaves, Cixuan saw the outline of the face of the man who came out.

It's a woman!

For a moment, Su Cixuan didn't know how to explain her feelings. She knew that their relationship was definitely not a shameful one, but now that she saw it, she always had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Sensing something strange about her, Su Xin asked with concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the study room again, Cixuan said to Su Xin: "Su Xin, let's go back."

Su Xin turned her eyes to the study room in confusion. Just now she was thinking that someone had come out. His Royal Highness must have finished his work, so she did not notice that the person who came out just now was a woman. Therefore, she was a little confused and asked: "Prince Concubine"

, everyone has come out, I think His Highness has finished his work now, and since the Crown Princess is here, why not go into the study and wait for His Highness to go back together, so that His Highness can know that you are here to see him."

Su Cixuan looked at Su Xin, who was a very lively girl. She smiled and said, "No, there is no need to let His Highness know that I have been here. Let's go."

Su Xin had no choice but to follow Cixuan back. But she was still puzzled. The Crown Princess clearly cared about His Highness, but she didn't let His Highness know.

When Luo Jingchen came back, Cixuan had just laid down and was not asleep. But when she heard Luo Jingchen's footsteps, she turned over and faced inside, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

Luo Jingchen took off his clothes, gently lifted up the quilt and went to bed. After lying down, he reached out and gently took Cixuan, who was facing away from him, into his arms. Su Cixuan was unprepared for a moment and couldn't help but stiffen.

Luo Jingchen was so perceptive, he put his chin on Cixuan's head and whispered: "Cixuan, did I wake you up?"

Su Cixuan could only open her eyes, but did not look back. She stared at the gauze tent with a somewhat empty gaze and said, "No, I was just woken up by a nightmare."

Luo Jingchen's heart tightened, and his face became nervous, "But you dreamed about what happened during the day again? Don't be afraid, something like that will never happen again."

As he said that, Luo Jingchen's arms around Cixuan unconsciously put a little more strength into his arms, hugging her tighter. It seemed that only in this way could he give her more security.

"Yeah." Su Cixuan replied dully.

Thinking of the injury on the right side of her neck, Luo Jingchen said softly: "Cixuan, you have an injury on your neck. Sleeping on your side will make the injury uncomfortable. If you are not careful and it is torn, it will bleed again."

Knowing that what he said was true, she could no longer pretend to be asleep at this time, so she could only gently roll over and lie down flat. However, in the process, she moved her body further away from him without leaving any trace.

How come Luo Jingchen didn't know her little moves? He just cared about her injury, so he didn't pull her back. However, he moved his body towards her. It was quite a bit like if you don't care about me, I will care about you.

Seeing that she was always silent, Luo Jingchen thought it was because her fear had not dissipated during the day, so he didn't think much about it. He just hugged her tightly to his chest to calm the fear in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, but neither of them fell asleep.

Su Cixuan suddenly said: "Your Highness, what happened during the day will definitely bring you trouble."

Her voice was both ethereal and determined. Luo Jingchen lowered his eyes, with admiration and helplessness in his eyes. He would rather she not be so smart. But it was precisely because of her intelligence that this matter would not put them in a passive position.

"Don't worry, Cixuan, there won't be any trouble, I'll take care of everything."

"Your Highness, will you attend the morning court tomorrow?"

A trace of apology flashed in Luo Jingchen's eyes, and he said: "I am busy with affairs at the end of the year, so my father only allowed me three days of leave. After New Year's Eve, I can take a good rest."

"Well, your highness will get up early tomorrow and go to bed early." As she said that, she closed her eyes, but always turned away from him slightly.

Luo Jingchen looked down at her for a while, feeling that something was wrong with her, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. But he was indeed tired from the day's events, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, when Luo Jingchen got up, Su Cixuan also woke up and was about to start.

Luo Jingchen hurriedly turned around and held her down, saying warmly: "It's still early, there's no need to get up, just sleep for a while."

"I want to see Xiaoxing."

This early in the morning, all she could think about was her maid. Luo Jingchen couldn't help but feel a little bit disgusted. She cared more about her maid than him! He didn't let her get up and just said: "Don't worry, Xiaoxing is taken care of by someone."

, nothing happened."

Without waiting for her to say anything, Luo Jingchen continued to ask, "Does the wound on your neck still hurt? Lie down first and wait for the doctor to change the dressing before you get up."

Although he spoke softly, his eyes were full of non-negotiable meaning. Su Cixuan had no choice but to lie down, close her eyes, and wait for him to leave before getting up.

The Ningguo court was in the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace. When Luo Jingchen climbed up the steps of the palace, he saw many courtiers waiting outside the door of the hall. At this time, the chamberlain came to open the door of the hall, and the courtiers entered the hall one after another.

When Luo Jingchen arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he saw the ministers whispering in twos and threes, which was very lively.

Just as he was about to move in, he heard Luo Jingting's voice behind him, "Third brother."

Luo Jingchen turned around and saw that Luo Jingting had already reached the front of the steps and said with a smile, "The third brother came earlier than my younger brother."

Luo Jingchen took a look inside the palace and said, "It's just like you. I just arrived."

When the courtiers in Zichen Palace heard the voice, they all stopped their discussion and turned to Luo Jingchen.

When Luo Jingting came to his side, Luo Jingchen's eyes met with his. Luo Jingting understood and lowered his voice: "My brother has just come from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He will be interrogated by Li Changqing himself overnight, and all the torture instruments will be at his service. The bones of the two assassins

She is very hard, and she actually withstood all kinds of torture, gritting her teeth but not saying a word."

Luo Jingchen sneered and said: "Separate trials, use means to break their will, find out their details and the person behind the scenes."

"Yes, my brother and Li Shilang also discussed this and separated them."
