The Sixth Princess excitedly lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window. Whenever she encountered something strange and unprecedented, she would always share and discuss it with Chu Jing.

They chattered non-stop along the way, but after only half a day, the Sixth Princess became tired and quieted down.

During the night rest, the Sixth Princess also slept with Chu Jing.

She hugged Chu Jing's arm and said sadly: "Anyang, you know, I always thought you would marry my brother, the Crown Prince, and become my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect..."

"Anyang, is this General Xia's idea, or yours?"

"Are you willing to marry the Crown Prince? If not, I can ask my father and the Queen Mother to ask you not to marry him..."

Chu Jing fell silent. No one in the Xia family had ever said that she would marry the prince in the future, and there was no engagement between her and the prince.

The Sixth Princess would have such an idea only if the Crown Prince and the Queen thought so, which would make the Sixth Princess think so too.

Chu Jing interrupted the Sixth Princess's mumbling that sounded like a curse, "Princess Wen San is the future Crown Princess and your sister-in-law."

The Sixth Princess stopped upon hearing this.

Chu Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Princess, why did the Queen Mother ask me to go to the Summer Resort with her this time? Was it your suggestion?"

The Sixth Princess did not answer immediately. Chu Jing felt that the Sixth Princess must be watching her in the dark at this moment.

After a while, the Sixth Princess let go of Chu Jing's arm, turned over and lay flat on her back. She said dejectedly:

"I suggested it. I wanted a chance to have a proper talk with you, just like now."

"Anyang, we grew up together. The first time we met was when I was four years old, right?"

The Sixth Princess is half a year younger than Chu Jing.

It’s time for her to reach the age of marriage this year.

The Sixth Princess talked a lot that night, and Chu Jing finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

The next day, the Sixth Princess was still as enthusiastic and excited as the day before, as if the night talk and memories with a hint of melancholy last night were just a dream.

Chu Jing had a strange premonition in his heart.

I always feel that this trip to the Summer Resort is not that simple.

Along the way, Xie Qiheng would find opportunities to hang around Chu Jing from time to time, or find opportunities to come over and give her something.

When the Sixth Princess saw him, she joked with him a few times and did not show any dissatisfaction or hostility towards Xie Qiheng.

Soon, Chu Jing and the Queen Mother and their entourage arrived at the Summer Resort.

Chu Jing lived in a palace near the Sixth Princess.

After traveling for several days, the Sixth Princess looked very tired and her face was a little pale.

She said goodbye to Chu Jing and said that she wanted to go back to her bedroom to have a good rest.

Chu Jing naturally went to his own bedroom to settle down.

When the Sixth Princess arrived at the bedroom, she did not rest but locked herself in the room.

She thought of what the Crown Prince had said to her before leaving, and then of Chu Jing and the friendship between them.

The prince said that the reason why Xie Qiheng was able to get the Xia family to agree to his marriage with Chu Jing was because he swore in front of the Xia family that he would never take a concubine for any reason in the future.

Xie Qiheng snatched away the person who should have belonged to him, and Chu Jing betrayed their relationship of so many years. They deserve a little punishment.

The Sixth Princess was certainly not hesitant about whether to do what the Crown Prince said, but she felt somewhat guilty and uneasy inside.

Although she became good sisters with Chu Jing because of the instructions of her mother and the Crown Prince, there is still some affection between them after so many years.

One night three days after arriving at the Mountain Resort, the Sixth Princess sent away a maidservant who had been entrusted to her by the Crown Prince and had charming features and a graceful figure.

That night the Empress Dowager gave a banquet, and there was singing and dancing in the summer mountain resort, and the whole place was full of joy.

Xie Qiheng was also sent by the Queen Mother to drink with his companions.

During the banquet, the Sixth Princess dragged Chu Jing along and drank some wine, and then they watched a play and recited poems.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that the drunken Sixth Princess was helped back to her bedroom by her maid.

Chu Jing was cautious and secretly poured out a lot of wine, but she was not a good drinker and was still a little drunk and dizzy.

After leaving the hall, Chu Jing felt a lot more awake when a cold wind blew.

During the days since she came to the Summer Resort, the Sixth Princess has not done anything except for some strange reactions.

What could the Sixth Princess do in this summer resort? What could she do to her?

From the moment she left the Xia Mansion, she had been keeping the people around her alert, not giving the Sixth Princess any chance to do anything to her.

I hope she's just overthinking it.

Yu Jin put the cloak on Chu Jing's shoulders and said, "Princess, it's cold at night and you've drunk a lot of wine. You'd better go inside quickly. Be careful not to get a headache at night."

Chu Jing put aside his doubts for the moment and returned to his bedroom to wash up and rest.

The moon was very bright that night, big and round. Chu Jing had just laid down not long ago and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a creaking sound from the window, followed by a muffled sound, as if someone had climbed through the window and fallen to the ground.

Chu Jing suddenly lost all her sleepiness.

Who?

How could there be thieves in the Summer Resort? Could they be sent by the Sixth Princess?

This speculation made Chu Jing's heart pound. If it was the Sixth Princess, what was she planning to do by having someone sneak into her room in the middle of the night...

Currently, the security work of the Mountain Resort is entirely in the charge of Xie Qiheng, and most of the people brought from the Xia family are highly skilled in martial arts. Who can break in without alerting the guards or the Xia family?

Chu Jing was so nervous that her breathing became faster. She listened attentively to the movements in the house.

After the man climbed out of the window and landed on the ground, there was silence for a while. Then Chu Jing heard a very subtle sound, and the man seemed to be coming towards this side.

She was about to open her mouth to call for help, but at the same time, the man in the room suddenly came quickly and pulled open Chu Jing's curtain. A tall black shadow appeared in front of the bed and covered Chu Jing's mouth with his hand.

"Ugh..." Chu Jing was so scared that his heart almost stopped.

The man was extremely strong. When he rushed over and covered Chu Jing's mouth, it was like a mountain falling down, full of momentum and leaving people powerless to resist.

What's more, Chu Jing didn't have anything that could be used as a weapon.

The man knelt on the bed with one leg bent, covering Chu Jing's mouth with one hand and supporting himself on the bed with the other. He was hot and humid, and his breath was unstable as he said:

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojing, it's me!"

After saying that, Xie Qiheng slowly put down his hand that was covering Chu Jing's mouth, but he showed no intention of leaving.

Chu Jing has not recovered yet. In the dim light, she tries hard to recognize Xie Qiheng's appearance.

"Xie Qiheng?"

Whether it was the voice or the breath, Chu Jing finally confirmed that this person was Xie Qiheng.

But why would he break into her room in the middle of the night? !
