The tip of the hairpin pressed against the skin on the side of Xie Ming's neck. Xie Ming could clearly feel the cold silver object against him, but he still didn't care. His voice was also very light, "It's not an order."

"It's a plea."

Shen Chu was stunned and tightened his grip on the hairpin.

After a long moment, she pushed him away and stared into Xie Ming's eyes. "Is it not allowed for me to come here and question someone?"

"Your Highness, you don't think I'm here to have fun and find handsome men, do you?"

Xie Ming's pupils flashed with surprise when he heard this. After figuring out something, he let out a short laugh. The sinister madness in his heart faded away, leaving only a subtle joy. "Is this true?"

However, this situation did not last long. He quickly returned to his previous expressionless face and asked, "Why can't we ask questions somewhere else?"

Shen Chu asked back, "Won't His Highness be angry if I take him to the East Palace for questioning?"

"..."

She walked to the window, looking like she was going to climb out to look for someone, but before she could make any move, Xie Ming grabbed her wrist.

"They have been captured and should be on their way to the East Palace."

So fast?

Is Yunshu so skilled?

That’s not right. Xie Ming has been here the whole time. How does he know that everyone has been caught?

"Do not believe?"

"Not really, then let's go to the East Palace."

Putting the veil back on his forehead, Shen Chu followed Xie Ming out.

But I was thinking about something.

What did Xie Ming mean by his actions just now?

Forcing myself to kiss him...is it because of possessiveness?

Raising his hand and touching the broken corner of his mouth, Shen Chu frowned slightly as he looked at the slight scarlet stain on his fingertips.

Damn it, her first kiss that she had been waiting for for so long was taken away by this damn prince?

In her understanding of the strategy, her only responsibility was to make Xie Ming fall in love with her.

But there is no part of selling sex.

but……

She just glanced at her strategy progress bar.

The 88% that had not moved for a long time finally moved.

Although it is only a negligible 0.1%, the premise that it has not been moved for a year and a half is there. Isn't this a big step forward?

After Shen Chu sat in the carriage, she was still thinking about things and did not hear Xie Ming talking to her at all.

It wasn't until Xie Ming raised his hand and turned her head over that Shen Chu finally came back to her senses.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"I said, from now on you can enter and leave the East Palace as you wish without revealing your identity, and I won't stop you."

Shen Chu was surprised, "Really?"

"But you have to tell me where you are going, and I will send someone to protect you secretly."

The expression on Xie Ming's face remained dull. When he said these words, his eyes did not stop at Shen Chu, but looked straight ahead.

Seeing him like this, Shen Chu thought of the progress bar that had just moved with great difficulty. With an idea in his mind, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Ming's shoulders, pulling him towards him. When Xie Ming was confused, soft and moist lips covered his lips, and the moment left immediately after the touch was brief and beautiful, but also a little unreal.

At the same time, Shen Chu watched the progress bar at 88.1% jump forward to a new height.

The strategy progress is 89.1%!

When the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Shen Chu was still a little dazed.

She really wasn't mistaken.

It did move.

The strategy progress bar, which had not moved for a year and a half, moved twice in a row today.

Yes, twice.

Although the total is only 1.1%, there is still hope, right?

Xie Ming, who was walking beside Shen Chu, was in a particularly happy mood at this moment.

This kind of joy comes from the inside out, from the heart.

Just now, Chu'er took the initiative to kiss him.

It was only a brief moment, but it was enough.

The two of them walked on the road in silence, heading straight towards the East Palace.

Before Shen Chu got closer, she had already seen Jiang Fuling tied up by Yun Shu.

The other party was arguing with Yunshu, and seemed to want Yunshu to let her go.

There was no one beside Jiang Fuling, she was the only one standing there, and no one knew where Xu San and the others had gone.

"Your Highness, you really did catch him?"

Shen Chu quickened her pace and hurried to Jiang Fuling, wanting Yun Shu to let the man go, but Yun Shu didn't listen to her at all. She just silently turned her eyes away and looked at Xie Ming quietly.

"Leave her to you?"

Xie Ming said this to Shen Chu, because in his impression, Shen Chu had a bad relationship with this person.

Xie Ming was particularly easy to talk to at this time.

Shen Chu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, Your Highness, for catching her for me..."

As she spoke, she pulled the person to her side, her face full of anger.

After being rescued, Jiang Fuling did not look at anyone else, but began to look at Shen Chu in panic, wanting to see if Shen Chu was injured anywhere.

After looking back and forth at Shen Chu for a long time, Jiang Fuling finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, Shen Chu was fine.

Just ...

Looking at the tear at the corner of Shen Chu's mouth, Jiang Fuling's eyes were suspicious, and her voice was filled with confusion, "What...did you do?"

What happened?

Following Jiang Fuling's gaze, Shen Chu searched for what Jiang Fuling was referring to. After realizing what was going on, he immediately said, "You may have misunderstood."

"What did I misunderstand? Didn't I say anything yet?"

Jiang Fuling's face showed a hint of mockery. She had long seen through the truth hidden behind Shen Chu's slightly panicked expression.

The corners of her mouth are broken. It's not like she hasn't watched movies, TV shows or read novels, right?

How could she not understand what this meant?

Shen Chu put away the unnecessary expression on his face and said calmly, "I'll talk to you later. Now go in."

Grabbing Jiang Fuling's arm, Shen Chu forcefully led her into the East Palace.

Seeing this, Xie Ming did not continue to stand outside the door, but followed Shen Chu's steps and walked inside, and Yun Shu also followed Xie Ming's steps and walked inside.

"Your Highness, the rest of them have been imprisoned in the dungeon. What should be done with them?"

"Take me there."

-

"What did you say?"

"Say that again? Did your progress bar move?"

Sitting in the pavilion, Jiang Fuling stood up immediately upon hearing this, her eyes wide as copper bells.

This shows how shocked she was by this incident.

why?

why?

Why is Shen Chu's progress bar alive, but her progress bar is like a dead person, motionless?

"How much did you add?"

After calming herself down, Jiang Fuling sat down again and asked about business.

"1.1%."

Shen Chu's voice was calm, but there was a smile on his face.

Finally, there is something to look forward to. How can I not be happy?

"Don't add any more, I'm scared."

"What am I going to do if you leave? I'll die here alone."

Not only is there no Wi-Fi, computer, or mobile phone, there is also no fried chicken, cola, or milk tea.

What would she do if she lost her only best friend?
