A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Yi Duoer realized that An Tingfeng just wanted to save the woman and not kill her, and her wildly beating heart instantly calmed down a little.

She asked back, "Who do you think I am? Assassinating the emperor is a heinous crime punishable by death for nine generations of the family. Do you think if I tell Chu Jingchen to release the assassin, he will listen to me?"

The dagger in An Tingfeng's hand lightly scratched her neck, leaving a shallow mark. He didn't want to waste time talking to Yi Duoer. He knew too well the position of Yi Duoer in Chu Jingchen's heart.

As long as she came forward to rescue her aunt, the chances of success were very high. If she really killed Yi Duoer now, Chu Jingchen would definitely not let her go. So, this was just a means for him to scare Yi Duoer.

"I know you are going to find him to report the news. If you don't go to save him, you will not survive. Only if you die will I not be implicated." An Tingfeng threatened coldly, his eyes as fierce as a wolf.

But what Yi Duoer hated most in her life was being threatened. Although she was unhappy, for the sake of her own life, she still softened her temper and said:

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't tell you a thing and I will help you rescue that woman. Can you please move the knife away first?" As she said that, she blinked twice and looked at An Tingfeng with pleading in her eyes, hoping that he would not be impulsive.

An Tingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a white pill from his arms and threw it into Yi Duoer's mouth without saying anything.

He slowly let go of the dagger that was against Yi Duoer's neck and looked at her with cold eyes, as if he was looking at an insignificant object.

"Cough cough cough... What did you give me to eat?" Yi Duoer bent down and coughed violently, her eyes full of fear and anger. She glared at An Tingfeng angrily.

"It's just a poison that can cause internal organs to penetrate the intestines and break down. It will take effect in ten days! If you can't get the antidote within ten days, you will die." An Tingfeng patted his clothes and explained to Yi Duoer with disdain.

Yi Duoer was so angry that she was shaking all over. She really wanted to rush up and kill An Tingfeng. She stared at him fiercely and cursed him with many ugly words. However, these words fell into An Tingfeng's ears, but they were like a breeze blowing by, without any pain or itch.

"You find a way to get Chu Jingchen to release them." An Tingfeng repeated it again, paused, and then continued,

"Also, the envelope you picked up last time is mine. I don't care if you've read the contents or not! You must return it to me tomorrow! Otherwise, when the time comes, I still won't give you the antidote."

After saying this, he put the dagger away again, straightened his clothes, turned around and left gracefully. His back revealed a calmness, as if he was not the devil who had just poisoned someone.

Yi Duoer looked at his departing back, spitting out saliva in anger, cursing non-stop, her eyes full of hatred.

Inside the tent, Chu Jingchen was extremely anxious because he did not see Yi Duoer. He was furious at the guards and yelled at them.

Just as he was about to go out and look for her, Yi Duoer returned to the tent with heavy steps. Chu Jingchen saw her and hurried forward, holding her shoulders worriedly, anxiously asking her where she had been, the worry and concern in his eyes seeming to overflow.

Afterward, Chu Jingchen asked everyone to leave. Yi Duoer slumped her shoulders, a look of loss on her face. Chu Jingchen hugged her distressedly and asked softly what was wrong.

Yi Duoer pushed him away and tore off her disguise mask, revealing her beautiful true face. She threw the mask on the ground and complained:

"This is so ugly, so ugly! I hate it." Her tone revealed anger.

Chu Jingchen looked at her with eyes full of doting. He reached out and stroked Yi Duoer's cheeks that were swollen with anger, and gently comforted her: "It's okay, I will make a beautiful one for Duoer when the time comes. Where have you been? Do you know that I am very worried about you?"

Yi Duoer hesitated. She wanted to tell Chu Jingchen what had just happened, but she was afraid that An Tingfeng would really go crazy and not give her the antidote. That would be terrible. So, she chose to lie:

"I... I just went out for a walk, nothing happened." After saying that, she hurriedly asked, "Those assassins didn't hurt you, did they?"

Chu Jingchen smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine, Duo'er, don't worry." Yi Duo'er was relieved to hear that he was fine.

But she began to inquire again: "Then...what will happen to those killers?"

"These are not Duo'er's concerns. You must have been scared today! We will go back early tomorrow morning.

I've asked someone to prepare hot water. Duo'er was frightened today, so take a bath and have a good sleep." Chu Jingchen stared at Yi Duo'er sharply, noticing something unusual about her neck. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of worry and anger crossed his face.

He also felt that something was wrong with Yi Duoer today, but he didn't want Yi Duoer to be involved in these dangerous things, so he changed the subject.

Yi Duoer knew that Chu Jingchen was not an ordinary person. He must have guessed her thoughts. If she continued to ask, it would be even more difficult to explain. She sighed slightly and stopped asking.

Soon, the hot water was ready. Yi Duoer was about to undress when she found Chu Jingchen still in the tent, with no intention of leaving.

She glanced at him sharply, only to find that he was looking at her with lustful eyes.

Yi Duo'er blushed immediately, and with a fierce expression on her face, she said, "I'm going to take a shower, why don't you go out?"

Chu Jingchen reached out to undress her and said shamelessly, "The conditions here are limited. I will personally help Duoer bathe and change clothes."

Yi Duoer pushed his hand away, remembering how he had deceived her during the day and almost made her lose her virginity.

If I really accept his service now and let him see my sexy and fair body, I would be walking into the tiger's mouth.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to give herself completely to Chu Jingchen, she just doesn’t want to be in a place with so many people around.

Yi Duoer firmly refused, and Chu Jingchen had no choice but to cup Yi Duoer's cheeks and place a passionate kiss on her forehead. He said softly, "Okay, I'll leave now!"

After saying that, Chu Jingchen slowly left the tent. A moment later, two maids came into the tent. They were there to help Yi Duoer bathe and change clothes. This time, Yi Duoer didn't refuse.

When Chu Jingchen walked outside the tent, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression solemn, and he exuded an aura of authority without anger. He turned to his other loyal general, Ling Feng, and ordered in a voice as cold as ice: "Go and find out what Duo'er had just experienced. Who did she meet?"

When Ling Feng heard the order, he respectfully replied "Yes!" and immediately turned around to carry out the task.

When Chu Jingchen saw Yi Duoer coming back, he felt that something was wrong with her. He noticed a faint mark on Yi Duoer's neck, although it was not clear and difficult for ordinary people to find.

But he saw it at a glance. Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart. If something really happened to Yi Duoer, he would never be able to accept it.

He guessed that the murderer who had just kidnapped Yi Duoer must know something about her, and that the murderer was trying to use her to control him. He never expected that someone would touch his beloved right under his nose, and he would never let that person go!

The next day, Yi Duoer returned to the capital and immediately began searching through boxes and drawers for the envelope. She recalled that it was after that encounter with An Tingfeng that he had begun to ask her about the matter, intentionally or unintentionally.

And he always appears in front of me. Now I think about it, there is a reason for all this. It turns out that he doesn't like me, but is after something he lost.

Yi Duoer searched the whole room, even the study, but everywhere was in a mess and she still couldn't find the envelope.

At this time, Qiu Chan walked into the room. As soon as she came in, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. If she hadn't seen Yi Duo'er there, she would have thought it was a thief.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" Qiu Chan's tone was a little puzzled. As she spoke, she lowered her head and picked up the paper and ink that Yi Duoer had dropped on the ground.

Yi Duoer hurriedly asked where the bill for the first time she asked Qiu Chan to buy something was.

Qiu Chan thought Yi Duo'er was looking for something important, but it turned out to be these useless bills. She said frankly:

"You forgot, those bills are all in the Night Palace. You left them there when you were in the cold courtyard. I just don't know if they are still there now."

Yi Duo'er felt like her head was about to explode when she heard the news. To retrieve the envelope, she had to go to the Night King's Mansion.
