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

Hua Shu had always suspected that he had been hiding in the dark and watching everything that had just happened. Now that she heard him say this, she was completely sure that her guess was correct.

She did not respond to Chu Hengzhi, but looked up at him with red eyes.

"Your Highness is truly heartless. He actually watched me fall into danger."

Chu Hengzhi paused while wiping the blood off her, then avoided her gaze and said, "Aren't you okay?"

Nothing? Hua Shu suppressed the sneer in her heart and said delicately, "That's because he didn't want to kill me."

Chu Hengzhi listened to her words and smiled: "Even if he wants to kill you, you will not die in his hands."

After saying that, he paused, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Besides, I can be sure that he will not have the intention to kill you."

Hua Shu frowned at first, then suddenly realized what was going on and looked at him in shock: "He is yours."

No wonder Chu Hengzhi was still able to hide in the dark and watch even when the man put the sword to his neck. It turned out that the man in black was his man.

She said that she had the Tongxin Gu in her body, so how could Chu Hengzhi let her die in front of him.

When Chu Hengzhi heard her words, he smiled and shook his head, then nodded.

Seeing this, Hua Shu showed a puzzled look on her face: "What do you mean?"

Chu Hengzhi's fingertips gently stroked the wound on her neck and smiled mysteriously: "He is not mine now, but he will be mine soon."

After hearing this, Hua Shu's expression of confusion deepened. If this man in black was not his now, how could he become his in the future?

Although she couldn't figure out these things, there was one thing Hua Shu was sure of, that was Chu Hengzhi took advantage of her today.

But there was still one thing she couldn't understand. If the man in black just now was not his, why could he be so sure that he would not want to kill her.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Chu Hengzhi and asked with a hurt look on her face: "So, am I being used by His Highness?"

Seeing her looking at him with a hurt expression, Chu Hengzhi bent down, held her face gently, and coaxed her softly: "Dear, don't be angry, I do all this for our future."

Hearing his words, Hua Shu almost laughed out loud. Did Chu Hengzhi treat her as a young girl who had just begun to fall in love and could be coaxed with just a few words?

Although she thought so in her heart, she still looked at him shyly: "It turns out that I am also in your highness's future plans."

Chu Hengzhi couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this. He took back his hand and said with a click of the tongue, "Has anyone ever told you that you look ugly when you pretend to be shy?"

The expression on Hua Shu's face froze, and she glared at Chu Heng fiercely.

"Your Highness really can't spit out ivory from his mouth."

Chu Hengzhi didn't care that she was cursing him in a roundabout way. He smiled and sat aside. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. He looked at her and said, "Aren't you curious at all about who that man in black was just now?"

Hua Shu retracted her gaze, wiped the blood off her neck, and said, "Your Highness has already said that he will be yours, what else do I have to be curious about?"

Chu Hengzhi originally thought that she would really want to know the identity of that person, but when she said that, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Suddenly he thought of something, stood up and walked to Hua Shu, looked at her and asked: "Why did you poison yourself last night?"

Hua Shu knew that his purpose of entering the palace tonight was not just because of the man in black. She looked up at him and smiled seductively.

"Of course it's to help His Highness get out of this predicament. Could it be that I'm just bored and have nothing to do, so I poisoned myself for fun?"

Chu Hengzhi didn't say anything, just looked at her. After a moment, he said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

At first he thought Hua Shu was accidentally poisoned, but the news Mo Qing brought back was that she poisoned herself.

It was extremely poisonous and his life would be in danger if he was not careful. He didn't understand if she was really doing this just to help him escape.

Hua Shu was such a smart person that she could tell what he was thinking just from his tone.

She raised her head and smiled very gently: "As long as I can help Your Highness, I will have no regrets even if I die."

Chu Hengzhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Next time before you say this, can you remove the Tongxin Gu first? Otherwise, it will be hard to convince people."

Hua Shu stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers around his, and said coquettishly, "You cast this Tongxin Gu, not me, so why are you asking me to remove it?"

Chu Hengzhi looked at her still pale face, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Hua Shu, why are you working so hard to climb up?"

Hua Shu didn't expect him to ask this. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What else can it be for? Of course, it's to survive."

Hearing this, Chu Hengzhi raised her chin and said, "If you just want to survive, you can just rely on me. I will definitely protect you."

Hua Shu really wanted to say, you have to rely on me to dispel the emperor's suspicion, and you still have the nerve to say that you will protect me.

But after thinking about it, she endured it, put her arms around his waist, and continued speaking along with his words.

"Since Your Highness has said so, I will leave my life and property to Your Highness from now on."

Chu Hengzhi knew that what she thought in her heart was different from what she said, but he did not expose her.

He reached out and picked up a strand of her hair and played with it in his heart, his voice low and pleasant.

"As long as you don't betray me, I will protect you."

Hua Shu leaned in his arms, her eyes full of sneer, but her voice was extremely gentle as she said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I am yours, how could I betray you?"

Having said that, they all knew that these words were just talk and no one would take them seriously.

Chu Hengzhi suddenly remembered something, straightened his face and said, "I have found out about Yun Cairen, whom you asked me to investigate."

When Hua Shu heard him mention Yun Cairen, she instantly became interested: "Did you find anything suspicious?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head and said, "No, her family background is clean and there is nothing suspicious about her."

Hua Shu fell silent after hearing this. Was she overthinking it, or was the man hiding too deeply that even Chu Hengzhi couldn't find him?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chu Hengzhi couldn't help but ask: "Why, you don't believe what I found out?"

Hua Shu shook her head: "It's not that I don't believe it, I just think it's a little strange."

"Strange?" Chu Hengzhi frowned and asked, "How is it strange?"

Hua Shu thought about it, shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. After all, His Highness didn't find anything wrong."

Chu Hengzhi didn't ask any more questions after hearing her say that. Seeing that her brows were still furrowed, he couldn't help but bend down and lean close to her ear, asking with a smile.

"Are you really not curious about the identity of that person just now?"
