Miaodong thought that the young lady had already said that the regent had saved her, so why did His Highness the Crown Prince still ask, isn't this unnecessary?

"Yes." Shen Ruzhou turned around and answered firmly. Thinking of the man who was like an immortal in his heart, Shen Ruzhou's eyes were filled with pride and his heart was filled with tenderness.

After the words fell, Shen Ruzhou didn't stay any longer and jumped directly onto the carriage.

The coachman raised his whip and the carriage started to rumble.

Behind him, Xiao Chenyan, whose eyes were red, punched the threshold hard, causing blood to ooze between his fingers.

It was indeed the Beixiu Banquet, and this time Shen Ruzhou admitted it himself.

However, don't think that he will give up. Xiao Chenyan's eyes were gloomy and he gritted his teeth and swore: Shen Ruzhou, even if it's the Beixiu Banquet, don't try to take you away from me.

You are my woman.

Arriving at the darkroom of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Shen Ruzhou used the light to carefully examine the antidote that Lu Huaining asked for from An Yitang. After confirming that there was no problem, he dissolved it into water and fed it to Xiao Ruohan.

"Beautiful sister, when will Sister Xiao wake up?" Lu Huaining approached the bed and asked with concern.

Shen Ruzhou rubbed his head and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, he will wake up soon."

"That's good." Lu Huaining consciously took the medicine bowl from Shen Ruzhou's hand. As soon as he took it, Shen Ruzhou saw blood stains on the gauze wrapped around his hand, and asked worriedly: "But the wound on his hand has cracked again. Does it hurt?"

Lu Huaining was stunned by her sudden question. He lowered his head and saw Shen Ruzhou staring at his hands. Then he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "My injury is fine. The blood on the gauze is not mine. It should be from when I hit An Yitang." stained."

"Did you hit Anyitang?"

Bei Xiuyan, who had been silent until now, spoke, and the smile on Lu Huaining's face disappeared instantly. He shrank behind Shen Ruzhou in fear and whispered, "I just can't stand a villain like him, so I took action to teach him a lesson." For a moment.”

Bei Xiuyan's face darkened, "How many times have I told you, why are you still so uncontrollable? There are many ways to deal with him, do you need to do it yourself?!"

Seeing that Bei Xiuyan was angry, Lu Huaining didn't dare to speak anymore. He lowered his head and bit his lips, which turned white.

Shen Ruzhou patted his shoulder gently and comforted him with words: "Huaining, the prince feels sorry for you. After all, you still have a wound on your hand, and I'm afraid you might pull the wound."

Hearing this, Lu Huaining looked at Bei Xiuyan expectantly, as if waiting for him to admit that he was not blaming him just now, but just feeling distressed.

Shen Ruzhou looked at Bei Xiuyan with unusually bright eyes, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and nodded calmly to him.

Bei Xiuyan sighed helplessly, calmed down his anger, and his eyes softened when he looked at Lu Huaining.

"Let Ruzhou apply some medicine on you later and heal the injury quickly."

"I knew Master loved me." Lu Huaining grinned, and the previous awkwardness due to the slap in the face completely dissipated.

……

The news that Princess Changqing of Xihua Kingdom was coming for marriage soon spread throughout the government and the public.

After hearing this, Concubine De felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately sent someone to invite Xiao Chenyan to persuade him to marry the princess.

The people sent arrived early in the morning, but it was not until nightfall that Xiao Chenyan dragged his exhausted body to the Concubine De Palace.

Concubine De waited eagerly all day long. She wanted to scold Xiao Chenyan, but after seeing her son's tired face, she could no longer say these words, and she only felt heartbroken.

"I know you are busy with affairs in the court, but you also have to take care of your body. You have lost a lot of weight in just a few days." Concubine De wanted to wipe her tears as she spoke.

"You don't have a woman around you to take care of your food and daily life, so you should get married as soon as possible. Only when you have someone who understands both cold and hot things by your side can you rest assured."

"Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it. I have something to do later." Xiao Chenyan couldn't bear to hear these words and took a sip of tea.

Concubine De pretended to be angry and patted him on the shoulder, "No conscience, I care about you. Do you have anything else? What could be more important than marrying the princess."

"Marry a princess?" Xiao Chenyan fiddled with the tea cup for a moment, then raised his head in confusion.

"Yes, mother and concubine have heard that the emperor intends for you to marry the princess of Xihua Kingdom."

Concubine De sat down next to Xiao Chenyan and told the news that she had finally found out.

"My mother-in-law heard that this princess is extraordinary and can lead troops in war. If you marry her, you will definitely get help from the entire Xihua Kingdom. In this way, your position as heir apparent will be more secure."

Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan frowned slightly and put the tea cup on the table, "Concubine, I will not marry a princess."

"What?" Concubine De looked in disbelief. She turned to look at Xiao Chenyan, her eyes full of inquiry, "You're not still thinking about that evil girl Shen Ruzhou, are you?"

"Mother, I don't allow you to say that about her." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyan's voice suddenly became stern, "She is very good. I have wronged her before. Anyone who tries to slander her in the future will be severely punished." .”
