A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chu Junye walked towards Yi Duoer quickly with a slightly excited look on his face. His gentle eyes were fixed on Yi Duoer alone, completely forgetting Zhu Qingxue who was standing beside him.

Zhu Qingxue looked at Chu Junye's actions and felt as if her heart was being crushed by an invisible big hand.

She stood aside, looking at the two of them with hatred in her eyes.

Yi Duoer just glanced at Chu Junye lightly and said in a cold tone: "I'm just here to retrieve my things and will leave soon!"

Although her voice was pleasant, it carried a chill that kept people at a distance.

Chu Junye's originally happy mood was instantly pierced by a sharp arrow and suddenly fell.

He thought Yi Duoer had thought it through and was willing to return to him, but he didn't expect her to have such an attitude.

But he still tried to pretend to be calm, forced a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said:

"It's time for dinner now, so let's have dinner first!"

Yi Duo'er was about to refuse, but Zhu Qingxue came over with her slender waist twisting, and said in that delicate and artificial tone:

"Yes, sister, you have come back with great difficulty. Have dinner before going back!" There was a calculating gleam in her eyes, and deep malice was hidden under her seemingly enthusiastic words.

Yi Duoer looked at her clumsy performance, secretly despising it in her heart, but a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She looked at Zhu Qingxue and said:

"Do you really want me to stay?" He said this and hit her back with a meaningful expression, as if his eyes could see through all of Zhu Qingxue's disguises.

Zhu Qingxue felt a little guilty when she looked at her. She pulled the corners of her mouth with a forced smile, her face slightly embarrassed. But soon, she rolled her eyes and deliberately mentioned:

"That... Of course it is. But, sister, are you here alone today? Isn't the Regent with you?"

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Chu Junye next to her. As expected, Chu Junye's face immediately became gloomy. Zhu Qingxue was secretly delighted.

How could Yi Duoer not see through these little tricks? Since she wanted to play, she would play with her to her heart's content and make her feel annoyed to death.

Yi Duoer then slowly raised her slender hand like white jade and placed it on Zhu Qingxue's shoulder, Yi Duoer showing a comfortable expression.

Zhu Qingxue was full of disgust and wanted to break free, but Yi Duoer was much stronger than her, so she could only let Yi Duoer hold her, which looked so funny.

"Since you are all so polite and kind, I will reluctantly do you the honor!"

After Yi Duoer finished speaking, she let out a very devilish laugh, put her arm around Zhu Qingxue and strode into the mansion. Her back had a unique aura.

Chu Junye looked at their backs and thought that their relationship had become harmonious. The corners of his lips rose involuntarily, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed harmonious, but undercurrents were surging. They were secretly exchanging sharp words, each look and each word like a rose with thorns.

Chu Junye didn't eat much. His mind was all on Yi Duoer, and he kept picking up food for her.

Zhu Qingxue saw this, and the bitterness in her heart was like a flooded river. Yi Duoer deliberately said:

"You don't have to pick up food for me, otherwise your lover will be jealous." Her words instantly made the atmosphere awkward.

At this moment, they were all a little embarrassed. Chu Junye lowered his eyes, frowned, and said unhappily:

"Yi Duo'er, are you itching for trouble again? Xue'er is still a lady from a noble family. If you insult her again, I will..."

"Just what? You beat me and humiliated me many times for her, and you still say it's not true. Fine, I won't say it anymore, okay? Just let everyone know what's going on."

Yi Duoer interrupted him without fear and stuck out her tongue playfully to express her dissatisfaction.

After saying that, she casually threw the remaining chicken leg into her bowl and rinsed her mouth as if no one was around. The whole action was very rude and out of place in this elegant environment.

Chu Junye regretted what he had done to Yi Duo. Now he just wanted to make amends and try his best to repair the relationship between them.

So no matter how unpleasant words Yi Duoer said or how impolite things she did, no one would blame her.

Just as he was about to speak, Yi Duoer had already wiped her hands, threw the handkerchief on the table, and said with a self-willed expression:

"Well... I'm full. I'm going back to the cold courtyard. Enjoy your meal!" Her tone was extremely gentle, but there was a sense of alienation in that gentleness.

Finally, she gave them an unconcealed smile, then stood up and left, completely disregarding whether Chu Junye was unhappy or not.

Zhu Qingxue looked into Chu Junye's eyes and kept staring at Yi Duoer's back. Although she was extremely uncomfortable, she still tried to pretend to be magnanimous.

"Aye..." she called softly.

Chu Junye interrupted her and said, "Xue'er, it's getting late. I'll send someone to take you back. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."

In the past, except when Chu Junye had official business, he would personally send Zhu Qingxue back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. This time, it was for Yi Duoer.

Zhu Qingxue didn't want to pretend anymore this time. She knew that if she continued like this, Chu Junye would be completely pushed to Yi Duoer.

So, she said directly: "Aye, you always sent me back before. You can't abandon me just because my sister is back!"

Her tone was as soft as a flower swaying in the wind, endearing and endearing.

Chu Junye's heart trembled, and after a moment of contemplation, he felt that his behavior just now had neglected her, so he quickly held Zhu Qingxue's delicate hand and said sorry with full of apology.

He didn't think so much about it. Zhu Qingxue got the result she wanted, and her brows finally relaxed.

As soon as Yi Duoer stepped into the cold courtyard, she was stunned by the scene before her. It seemed that this place had been renovated. The carved beams and painted buildings sparkled under the light. It seemed that Chu Junye had put some thought into it.

However, Yi Duoer didn't have the mind to look around here now. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to find what she wanted.

She went straight to her previous room and started rummaging through the drawers as soon as she entered.

Her eyes were anxious and her movements were quick, but after searching for a while, she couldn't find it. Her expression gradually became worried, her eyes were full of anxiety, and fine beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead.

Fortunately, she finally found an inconspicuous-looking envelope in the corner of a cabinet.

Yi Duoer carefully picked up the envelope and after careful examination, she was sure that this was what An Tingfeng was looking for. Now she had no time to read the contents, so she hurriedly put the envelope in her arms and turned to leave.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she met the maid Dongmei. When Dongmei saw that the person coming was Yi Duoer, her eyes instantly lit up with ecstasy.

She subconsciously rushed forward and hugged Yi Duoer tightly, her voice tinged with tears: "Princess, you are finally back? Dongmei has been looking forward to your return every day."

Yi Duoer patted her back gently, said a few words of comfort, and was about to leave. Dongmei hurriedly grabbed her and said with worry in her eyes:

"Princess, don't go. It's curfew now. It's too dangerous for you to be outside alone." Her tone was mixed with the joy of reunion after a long separation, and the sadness that Yi Duoer had to leave.

Yi Duoer frowned and thought for a moment. She knew Dongmei was right. The thing in her arms was too important, it was like her life. Moreover, if someone else wanted to harm her, it would be terrible.

So she listened to Dongmei and decided to go back early tomorrow morning.

I thought to myself, I wonder if Qiu Chan will be worried. That bastard has returned to the Regent's Palace. He definitely won't know that I'm staying in the Night Prince's Palace for one night.

Thinking of this, Yi Duoer was still a little worried, so she pulled Dongmei into the house and asked her to sleep with her tonight.

The two of them lay on the bed, like best friends, talking and laughing, and sharing everything. When Dongmei asked her why she didn't want to be the third princess, Yi Duo'er's eyes couldn't help but dim.

It was as if he was shrouded in a layer of haze and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Chu Junye had just sent Zhu Qingxue back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he couldn't wait to turn his horse around and hurried back to the Night King's Mansion.

Along the way, his mind was full of thoughts, and Yi Duoer's figure was in his mind.

After Chu Junye returned to the mansion, his feet seemed to be out of control and he walked straight towards the cold courtyard.

When he arrived at the cold courtyard, he was about to push the door open when he heard Yi Duoer's voice: "Chu Junye and I are not even friends."

Chu Junye's face instantly turned icy cold, like an ice sculpture in the dead of winter. He flung open the door and glared at Yi Duo'er with a dagger-like gaze. His powerful aura startled the two people inside.

"Get out..." His tone was extremely cold, like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Nether Hell, telling Dongmei to get out. Dongmei was so scared that she trembled all over and went out directly.
