After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xi felt someone approaching. Although the other person's movements were very light, they still woke her up. She almost subconsciously stood up and immediately pressed the acupoints on the other person's wrist.

This acupuncture point is very special. If she uses a little more force, it will make the other person suffer unbearable pain.

After what happened in the past two days, Chu Xi became very cautious no matter whether it was day or night.

The other person's approach made her subconsciously grab him, but the other person... unusually did not resist.

Chu Xi woke up from her sleep and ignored this small anomaly. "Who?"

Her voice was different from usual, and she forgot to use a male voice.

"It's me, Qibai. I just want to cover you with a piece of clothing." Zhou Yichen was stunned and did not struggle. He was a little frightened by Qibai's vigilance.

She forgot the pain as Chu Jiang held her wrist down, and turned her position so that she was pressed sideways underneath.

Qi Bai pressed his knee against his abdomen. As long as he dared to move, the knee against his abdomen would definitely hit him hard.

Chu Xi was stunned. It was Zhou Yichen's voice.

The candles in the room went out, and the person... was turned over by her and pressed on the couch.

If she was a little more ruthless and had directly strangled Zhou Yichen's neck with her hands, all the above charges would have been proven.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I..." Chu Xi loosened his hand and retracted...his legs.

I was no longer sleepy now, and since I was close enough, I could vaguely see the outline of Zhou Yichen's cheek.

Zhou Yichen sat on the soft couch, moved his wrist that was pinched and hurt, and laughed, "I didn't expect that I would be treated like this one day. Is this the law of fate?"

He teased Chu Xi.

Chu Xi scratched her scattered hair and said, "Sorry, Qi Bai made a mistake."

"This trip to Yizhou and Zhuozhou has had a significant impact on you. There must be many difficulties and dangers along the way. You would not have been like this before. When I approach, you can always tell at the first sight."

Chu Xi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if Zhou Yichen's words meant that he suspected her.

But she knew she needed to do something, or say something, to dispel Zhou Yichen's doubts.

She thought Zhou Yichen was suspicious, but Zhou Yichen actually was not. Chu Xi quickly integrated into the role, as if she was Chu Jiang.

Zhou Yichen just felt guilty about what happened to Chu Jiang this time. As the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, even if he was mediocre and incompetent, he could still live a rich and noble life.

There is absolutely no need to get involved in this battle with an unknown outcome. If it weren't for me, Qi Bai wouldn't have to be hunted down.

"Qi Bai, no matter what the final result is, you will always be the first person by my side, my most trusted confidant." Zhou Yichen knew that the road to succession was a life-threatening one, but he had no choice and could not retreat.

Chu Xi, "..." Oh, she was worrying too much.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Go to sleep." Zhou Yichen was not a sentimental person. He had said what he needed to say and it was time to go to bed.

Chu Xi took the robe Zhou Yichen gave him and covered himself with it, then continued to lie down and sleep.

Zhou Yichen returned to the bed and couldn't help but look at Chu Xi on the couch, "Qibai, would you feel uncomfortable sleeping there?"

Chu Xi's body should not be considered short among women, at least over 1.7 meters, and the couch is long enough. Chu Jiang is seventeen years old and is still in the growth stage.

Even though this height is not high among men, it will not arouse suspicion.

"How about you come and squeeze into my bed?" Zhou Yichen really wanted Chu Jiang to sleep on his bed. He felt that it was at least more comfortable than sleeping on the couch.

"I can sleep two people here."

Chu Xi thought about it and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to complete the task of sleeping in the same bed with him. "I'll try."

This would save her from having to climb into bed later and Zhou Yichen finding out, thinking she had some...hobby.

Zhou Yichen really wanted to invite Chu Jiang to sleep with him, but when Chu Jiang really agreed, he inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.

As a prince, he had never slept with anyone else. He would be coming of age in two months, and although he had palace maids around him, he had never used any of them.

It’s not that he has any special hobbies, he just doesn’t want to live like his father, who either dreams of immortality or lives a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Compared with these things, he felt that the throne and the rectification of the court were the most important things.

Therefore, His Royal Highness Prince Yan, who has been single until now, was really nervous this time and took two deep breaths secretly.

Chu Xi put down her outer robe, thinking of dying early and being reborn early, and her steps were quick without any hesitation.

The moonlight outside was thin, and even less could shine into the room. She could only barely see the location of the bed and feel her way over.

She had not taken off her outer robe when she went to bed, and it was wrapped tightly. Even if it touched her chest, no one would... associate her with a woman.

"Don't you need to... take off your outer robe?" Zhou Yichen asked sincerely.

When Qi Bai fell asleep on the couch before, he did not take off his outer robe.

"No, let me try first."

"?"

Chu Xi naturally would not take off her outer robe. While His Royal Highness Prince Yan was still preparing himself mentally, she lay down without saying a word.

Zhou Yichen seemed to smell a faint scent of hair and soap, as well as the touch of Qi Bai's hair brushing his nose and neck when she lay down.

There were two fists between their shoulders, but even so, Zhou Yichen's body was still stiff and he didn't dare to move.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Yichen turned his head to look at her.

Chu Xi curled the corners of her lips slightly. Mission accomplished, she didn't need to stay here any longer, she stood up swiftly and got out of bed.

"This is a bit crowded, not as comfortable as my couch. I'd better go back."

Zhou Yichen, "...I don't feel crowded."

Chu Xi smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't know that my sleeping posture is very bad. I'm afraid that I will kick you when I fall asleep at night."

Zhou Yichen seemed to have imagined that scene. He, who had said before that he didn't want to crowd, suddenly stopped talking.

Zhou Yichen has never been kicked while sleeping since he was a child, and he doesn't want to experience that feeling.

Seeing that Zhou Yichen no longer invited her to sleep with him, Chu Xi returned to the couch with satisfaction.

"Mission accomplished."

484 obviously realized that Chu Xi was taking advantage of him, so he could only hold his tongue and remain silent.

After this little episode, they both finally fell asleep. Chu Xi thought she could sleep soundly this time, but after she had slept for a while, someone started to make trouble again.

[Host, please complete the mission node and protect Zhou Yichen from harm. 】

In order to lure out the secret spy hiding in this mansion, Zhou Yichen deliberately sent Zheng Hao, who was guarding outside the door, back to rest. Only when someone saw a loophole would someone rush in.

Apparently, someone really took advantage of this loophole.

The other party discovered something was wrong as soon as he broke into the house. He had clearly blown smoke, but it didn't work on Chu Xi. He thought he could kill people in their sleep.

As a result, before he even got close to the bed and just landed on the ground, someone kicked him from behind.

The kick put him on the passive defense with considerable force. The man in black reacted quickly but still took a few steps back.

The assassins who came this time were not as skilled in swordsmanship as the Nalan clan, but they had good internal strength. It was not that Chu Xi did not inhale the drug at all, but she had a special physique and the effect of the drug took effect slowly.
