Shen Chu did not answer Xie Ming's words, but used her remaining hand to pry Xie Ming's hand that was holding her waist. Because she used all her strength, Shen Chu succeeded this time.

As soon as he succeeded, Xie Ming's arm was grabbed by Shen Chu the next moment.

Holding Xie Ming's arm, Shen Chu walked straight out. Xie Ming naturally followed her out without any thought of struggling.

She stopped at the stone stairs that she had to take to enter the dungeon. After making sure that she could not be seen by those imprisoned in the cells, Shen Chu pushed her against the stone wall.

Xie Ming's back hit the stone wall with a dull thud. Shen Chu frowned upon hearing this, but still said, "Your Highness, could you please consider my reputation for a moment?"

The pain from his back hitting the stone wall was nothing at all, and Xie Ming didn't even frown. However, when he heard Shen Chu's words, confusion appeared on his face.

When had he embarrassed her?

"Your Highness, you knew my companions were right here, so why did you act like that? Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of them?"

Shen Chu lowered his voice, looking at Xie Ming with anger in his eyes.

How is this different from taking off your pants in public?

"Do you care what he thinks?"

Xie Ming, who was originally hunched over, stood up straight, with his back against the wall, his eyebrows lowered, his facial expression unclear, and his whole aura changed in an instant.

If Xie Ming had been relatively easygoing and indifferent just now, now all that was left in Xie Ming was a pathological madness.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Chu with a cold and sinister look in his eyes. "Did I do anything excessive just now?"

If it was considered excessive just because he put his hand on Shen Chu's waist, then what he really wanted to do was probably worse than that of an animal.

Being questioned by Xie Ming like this, Shen Chu was speechless for a moment.

Didn't he just do something excessive?

Shen Chu thought about it carefully and it seemed that she had not done anything excessive. It was just that such an intimate action was too intimate for Shen Chu. She could do this when there was no one around, but if there were other people present... she was sorry that she could not accept it.

After realizing this, Shen Chu was about to add some explanation, but Xie Ming turned and left.

However, he did not walk out of the dungeon, but walked towards the place they had just left.

The destination should be the cell where Xie Ming mentioned her companions were imprisoned.

Shen Chu's sixth sense told her that Xie Ming was very angry now.

At such times, Xie Ming's actions are usually very violent.

If he went to find Xu San and the others... then Xu San and the others... would be dead.

Shen Chu's eyes suddenly widened and he hurried to catch up with Xie Ming.

"Um... Your Highness, I may not have explained myself clearly. You may have misunderstood me..."

Xie Ming kicked open the door of Xu San's cell and strode inside. The guard inside immediately stepped forward after noticing what was happening and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

The guard's words received no response, but the long sword in his hand was suddenly pulled out, and the pulled out long sword was now in Xie Ming's hand, emitting a cold light.

This was the scene Shen Chu saw when he arrived.

Xie Ming, holding a long sword, stared at Xu San, seemingly trying to figure out where he should start.

"There's no point in keeping this face. Just shave it off."

Hearing this, Shen Chu's spirits lifted, and he hurried forward to hold Xie Ming's sword-holding hand, "Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this!"

Xie Ming's gaze shifted away from Xu San, staring at Shen Chu holding his hand. Finally, he lowered his eyes to look at Shen Chu, with a look of sarcasm on his face, "You can't bear to let go?"

Shen Chu grabbed Xie Ming's wrist with one hand and stretched out her other hand to take the sword from Xie Ming's hand. Unfortunately, she failed.

Not only did it fail, but Xie Ming also raised his hand to take it away.

His eyes were still fixed on Shen Chu, waiting for Shen Chu to give him an answer.

After realizing this, Shen Chu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. He helped me a lot after all. If he died like this, wouldn't it be a case of good deeds going unrewarded?"

This is your territory and the person is in your hands, so I will endure it.

Shen Chu clenched his back teeth, the smile on his face was forced and speechless.

She has tried her best to restrain herself, but given the current situation, she still has too little experience.

Seeing her so worried about the other person's safety, Xie Ming's expression didn't improve at all. He was about to say something, but Xu San interrupted him, "Waiter, don't stop me. He's only got one life left. It's good enough for His Royal Highness to kill as much as he wants."

There was no trace of fear in his voice, as if he didn't care about life or death at all.

Hearing this, Xie Ming sneered, his voice strangely cold, "Chu'er, did you hear that? He is willing to die. This is not what I said."

He held Shen Chu in his arms, holding a sword in his other hand, with the tip of the sword against Xu San's throat. As long as he exerted a little force, Xu San's life would be over today.

Shen Chu didn't bother to care why Xie Ming was still holding his waist. He suddenly asked, "Your Highness, you want to take someone's life now. Don't you even need an excuse?"

"He kidnapped my people. What excuse do I need to kill him?"

Kidnap someone?

Are you referring to her?

She clearly left the palace on her own!

Okay, is Xie Ming making random accusations?

"Your Highness, I left the palace on my own. No one tied me up. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"How are you going to get out of the East Palace with such a high wall? Without anyone to help you, can you climb over it on your own?"

Xie Ming's sword was a little further away from Xu San's throat, but his cold gaze moved to Shen Chu.

He was questioning how Shen Chu got out of the palace.

The walls of the East Palace are so high, how can one get out without martial arts skills?

But Shen Chu was a woman and had never learned martial arts. If no one helped her, how could she get out?

When Shen Chu suddenly heard such a question, he felt like he had been tricked.

Why do I feel that Xie Ming's purpose is not to kill Xu San, but to find out how she left the palace in a roundabout way?

A flash of horror crossed Shen Chu's mind, and she was immediately grateful to Ming for being so thoughtful and setting a trap for her long ago.

In fact, Xie Ming really wanted to find out how she got out of the palace, and he really wanted to kill her and feed her to the wolves.

But in the end, reason prevailed and he didn't do it.

The person in front of him had helped Chu'er before. If he really took action, especially in front of Chu'er...his relationship with Chu'er would definitely deteriorate.

In that case, it would be better to ask her how she left the palace.

Is it these people who are helping, or is it that Chu'er actually knows martial arts?

Shen Chu felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, with a deep abyss in front of him and jackals, tigers and leopards behind him. He would die no matter what.

She raised her hand and touched her nose, trying to find a reasonable explanation for herself that would not involve Xu San and the others, but before she could find such a reasonable explanation, reinforcements arrived.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Sun's granddaughter, Sun Linglong, is here to see you."
