When everyone saw the commotion here, they secretly raised their heads, but were shocked to see Yan Yunshu holding Xu Jinghuai's hand tightly.

The eldest lady is so shameless that she even dares to hook up with the Second Prince?

Yan Shuyao looked at Yan Yunshu in disbelief.

She didn't believe that Xu Jinghuai, whom she couldn't even take down, could be taken down by Yan Yunshu.

Or does Xu Jinghuai also want the power of Yan Yunshu's maternal ancestors?

But it is obvious that Xu Jinghuai can get to the top on his own!

Yan Shuyao grabbed the hem of her skirt fiercely, feeling angry.

Xu Jinghuai let go of his hand, and Yan Yunshu felt relieved. She was about to release her hand from the back of Xu Jinghuai's hand, but the next second, Xu Jinghuai held it tightly.

Yan Yunshu was surprised. She looked at Xu Jinghuai holding her hand. She tried a little but couldn't break free. Helplessly, she could only let him do it.

Never mind, maybe he wanted to appear normal to the world? Using himself as a tool, fine, she had no objection.

But Yan Yunshu looked at the two clasped hands on the long cuffs, which could not be noticed by anyone at all. What was going on?

Could it be that Xu Jinghuai wants to hold hands?

That’s not right, no matter how you think about it, it’s not right.

But no matter what, Xu Jinghuai's palms were warm and very comfortable.

If he wants to hold the hand, let him hold the hand.

Yan Yunshu's hand stopped struggling, but moved in his palm, adjusting its position, trying to absorb his warmth.

Xu Jinghuai's heart, which had been irritated and angry just now, suddenly melted away.

A tenderness that no one in the world had ever seen appeared on his face. He almost smiled, but almost gritted his teeth as he said, "Take Yan Shuyao back to the Ministry of Justice."

"No, absolutely not! Your Highness!" Yan Lian hurriedly stopped him. "My daughter will be coming of age in a few days. We cannot let her spend her coming of age in prison!"

"Oh? Then according to the Prime Minister, how should I punish her?"

As Xu Jinghuai spoke, his other hand began to stroke his sword again.

Yan Xiang's face turned pale, "Your Highness..."

The heavy snow fell, and the flying snow outside the pavilion was swept into the pavilion. Yan Yunshu, who had almost recovered after taking medicine, sneezed due to excessive blood loss, even though she was wearing a cloak.

Xu Jinghuai frowned, and he took Yan Yunshu's hand and walked towards the main house in the garden.

A group of people followed together, and after entering the main room, the group of people continued to kneel in a crowd.

Xu Jinghuai pulled Yan Yunshu to sit on a high chair. He stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, still holding her hand tightly.

"Your Highness..." Yan Xiang's face was pale. He had been kneeling for too long and could hardly bear it anymore.

But he didn't know what to say. Yan Shuyao's punishment had not been finalized yet, and her wounds had not been treated yet. He felt distressed and tired.

"What's wrong, Prime Minister? If you have something to say, just say it."

Minister Yan supported his waist and said, "Your Highness, please consider my loyalty to Tianze and spare my daughter Yan Shuyao. I will discipline her well and order her to be confined to reflect on her mistakes before she reaches the age of marriage. She must calm down and cultivate her character, and never be so impulsive and reckless as to disturb Your Highness again."

Xu Jinghuai snorted coldly.

This old guy is threatening me!

An old minister, loyal to his heart.

It's a pity, he never lets anyone threaten him. "That's not impossible. I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion and Young Miss Guan are both confined in the woodshed. This time, I will open my eyes and gain some experience."

Minister Yan was shocked. This meant that Yan Shuyao was going to be locked up in the woodshed!

How did Xu Jinghuai know this? Could it be that Yan Yunshu, that evil creature, told it to others?

Yan Xiang looked at Yan Yunshu fiercely, but his view was blocked by Xu Jinghuai's tall figure.

"Your Highness, it's freezing cold out here, and it's really against the will of heaven to lock up the firewood room, so..."

"Justice? What is justice? Your Excellency, you are too serious. If being locked up in the woodshed goes against your idea of justice, then why not go to the airtight prison of the Ministry of Justice? Coincidentally, there are eight young men and women from aristocratic families in there who can keep her company!"

Yan Xiang's face changed drastically, and he said quickly, "No, no, Your Highness, close the woodshed, or close the woodshed."

"Hmm... By the way, I've also heard that Prime Minister Yan is very strict with his children. He locks them up in the woodshed and makes them go without food or water for several days. I'd like to broaden my horizons on this."

what?

Yan Xiang was stunned.

How could his Yao'er suffer such a crime? This crime should have been borne by Yan Yunshu!!!

Yan Shuyao was also shocked. She thought that if Xu Jinghuai gave in, she would be able to escape. But she didn't expect that she would be locked up in the woodshed in this snowy and icy place. Not only that, but she would also be deprived of food and water?

It was too outrageous, but it didn't matter. She didn't go to the woodshed anyway, and Xu Jinghuai couldn't see it.

Her father was the Prime Minister, holding a pivotal position in the court. Xu Jinghuai would not go to extremes and would definitely give her father and herself a way out...

"In order to ensure that this prince can gain more experience, this prince will send someone to guard the woodshed to see if Yan Xiang has done so."

All the comfort Yan Shuyao had given her for a long time was in vain.

Xu Jinghuai really went too far.

Is Xu Jinghuai really a madman?

But the more he acted like this, the more she wanted to get him!

Yan Shuyao's heart sank, and she took out the only five love value items left in her package and threw one to Xu Jinghuai.

Said: "I beg Your Highness to show mercy."

Then, he stared at Xu Jinghuai intently, and a golden light flashed between his eyebrows.

Xu Jinghuai's brows suddenly relaxed a little.

He grabbed Yan Yunshu's hand tightly, then loosened it. Yan Yunshu turned sideways and saw Yan Shuyao's eyes. Oh no, Yan Shuyao was using her props to deal with them again.

This time, the target is Xu Jinghuai!

Yan Yunshu felt that Xu Jinghuai's palm was about to loosen, so she quickly used her soft little hand to tightly grasp Xu Jinghuai's thumb. His hand was too big, and she tried to grab as much as she could, but could only barely grasp his thumb and some nearby parts.

She stroked it and held it tightly, trying to remind him to wake up.

For a long time, Xu Jinghuai remained silent.

Yan Yunshu was anxious. She stretched out her other hand and held Xu Jinghuai's hand tightly with both hands.

Xu Jinghuai, you must wake up!

You must be sober!

"Sister, can you please ask His Highness for your sister?" Yan Shuyao looked at Yan Yunshu with a provocative smile.

Yan Yunshu's heart sank, and she was about to stand up and engage in a heated argument with Yan Shuyao.

All I could hear was Xu Jinghuai's low, cold voice, "Impossible."

After saying that, Xu Jinghuai grabbed Yan Yunshu's hand tightly and said, "Give me mercy, you're dreaming! I've had a bad reputation all my life, I don't care about having another one."

Yan Shuyao wiped her tears pitifully, "Your Highness knows that I have always been in poor health. It's freezing and snowy here, and the woodshed is cold and drafty. If anything happens to me..."
