The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

Hearing this, Hua Shu suddenly stood up from Chu Hengzhi's legs, grabbed Caiyue's arm and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"

Seeing how excited she was, Caiyue was not as sure as before.

"I'm not sure, but it looks like my cousin."

Hearing her say this, Hua Shu let go of her hand, and a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Caiyue said quickly: "Master, don't be discouraged. If it is really the young master, he will come to you one day."

Hua Shu nodded, and suddenly met Chu Hengzhi's inquiring gaze. Only then did she realize that he was still here.

She tightened her hands in her sleeves and said to Caiyue, "You go out first."

Caiyue responded and retreated.

Hua Shu and Chu Hengzhi were the only ones left in the room again.

The moment the door closed, the room was eerily quiet and they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.

Chu Hengzhi looked at Hua Shu with sharp eyes. This was the first time she showed her care for someone other than Hua Jingxuan. It seemed that this cousin they mentioned was very important to her.

However, the entire Xiao family was wiped out, and no one survived except Hua Shu's mother Xiao Junru, who was already married. How did this cousin they were talking about survive?

He really wanted to meet this cousin who made the cold-blooded Hua Shu forget to disguise himself.

Meeting his smiling eyes, Hua Shu tightened her grip in her sleeves. She was too careless and forgot that Chu Hengzhi was still here.

With his sinister methods, now that he knows of Xiao Juzhu's existence, he will definitely find a way to find out anything related to him.

It is even possible that he could be captured to threaten her. Thinking of this, Hua Shu tightened her hands in her sleeves a little, and the tingling pain in her palms made her calm down.

We still have to find a way to divert Chu Hengzhi's attention.

They both had their own thoughts, but neither of them showed it.

In the end, it was Hua Shu who took action first. She sat back in Chu Hengzhi's arms, looked up at him lovingly.

"Your Highness, do you think Concubine Yi will be executed?"

Chu Hengzhi was also very tactful and did not ask about the cousin. He stretched out his finger to hook a strand of Hua Shu's hair and played with it in the palm of his hand.

"My father ordered He Zhong to personally carry out the execution, so she naturally couldn't escape."

Hearing this, Hua Shu chuckled and said, "If I say she can't die, Your Highness can believe it."

Chu Hengzhi frowned slightly and asked, "Are you saying that the queen will secretly save her?"

Hua Shu nodded first, then shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Chu Hengzhi frowned even more tightly.

Hua Shu raised her lips in a seductive arc: "Indeed, someone will save her in secret, but that person is not the queen, but the prince!"

Chu Hengzhi was obviously stunned after hearing this, and suddenly remembered something, his eyes darkened.

"Is Concubine Yi the prince's person?"

Hua Shu leaned in his arms and smiled, "You can think about it more deeply."

Think deeply?

Chu Hengzhi didn't understand what she meant for a moment, but soon the look the prince gave Concubine Yi when the incident happened today emerged in his mind.

The look in his eyes was not like he was looking at his own chess piece, but like he was looking at his beloved one.

Wait, my beloved...

Chu Hengzhi's pupils suddenly dilated and a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes.

"The prince actually dared to touch the emperor's woman. He is truly fearless."

He only knew that Concubine Yi was the Queen's person, but had never thought that she was the Prince's. If Hua Shu hadn't pointed it out, he might never have associated the two people together in his life.

Hua Shu couldn't help laughing after hearing what he said: "Your Highness, before you talk about others, why don't you take a look at where you are and what you are doing now."

Chu Hengzhi's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but he said calmly, "I am different from him."

Hua Shu looked at him with amusement: "What's the difference? Aren't they both just living in disgrace?"

Chu Hengzhi lowered his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low, somewhat bewitching voice:

"Princess Yi is my father's woman, and you have been my woman from beginning to end. In this respect, the prince and I are naturally different."

Hua Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then she laughed out loud after she realized what was going on.

"I didn't know that Your Highness was so shameless that he could even say such a thing."

Chu Hengzhi raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "I am just telling the truth. However, I really admire the prince. He is able to send his woman to another man's bed. He is indeed a man who can accomplish great things."

Hua Shu moved closer to him, almost face to face with him, and said, "If one day, Your Highness will also send me to someone else's bed?"

Feeling her hot breath on his face and looking into her tender eyes, Chu Hengzhi's heartbeat could not help but speed up and his ears became hot.

He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, then rested his head against her forehead. His voice was filled with deadly temptation, as if it could bewitch her mind.

"I'm naturally reluctant, but if I need it, would you be willing to help me?"

Hua Shu was distracted for a moment, but after coming to her senses, she put her arms around his neck and said with seductive eyes, "If Your Highness needs it, I am willing to do it."

Rather than testing each other, it is more like a limit pull.

I just don't know which side will give up first in this game.

Chu Hengzhi couldn't bear it and looked away. He coughed and said, "What do you think about Concubine Hui being banished to the cold palace?"

Hua Shu leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and said calmly: "It's obvious that she won't be banished to the cold palace. After all, she still has Chu Yunxiao as her child. Besides, the emperor has to take the Qi family into consideration."

At this point, she paused, a hint of sneer appeared on her lips: "No matter what, the Qi family has been loyal ministers for generations, and their ancestors were even founding heroes. Even if the emperor doesn't care about the monks, he should care about the Buddha. The reason why he said this should be to warn Chu Yunxiao."

After Chu Hengzhi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She actually saw through it clearly.

It was indeed as she said. Ever since the incident of corruption among the officials under the crown prince, the crown prince's reputation among the people had plummeted.

On the contrary, after Chu Yunxiao personally provided disaster relief, his reputation far surpassed that of the prince, so his father used this opportunity to criticize Chu Yunxiao.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Shu rubbed her eyes and said, "Your Highness, I'm sleepy. Do you want to stay tonight?"

Chu Hengzhi glanced at her abdomen and shook his head, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Hua Shu couldn't help but look at him one more time, but she didn't say anything. She was indeed sleepy tonight and had no mood to seduce him.

After she got up from Chu Hengzhi's legs, he walked to the window and disappeared into the room.

Hua Shu was really sleepy and soon fell asleep on the chaise longue.

Chu Hengzhi left the palace through the secret passage and went to his own residence. He wanted Mo Qing to check out the cousin that Caiyue mentioned.

He was thinking about things along the way and did not notice that a man in black left the palace with him.

When they reached the fork in the road, the man in black looked in the direction of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, then turned and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

……

The study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Hua Huaiyuan was worrying about marrying Xiao Junru in a few days when suddenly a figure appeared in the room.

A familiar voice sounded in his ears: "It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, uncle?"
