A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"You guys go wash, I'll go back first." Yu Yao shook her head slightly in response to Yi Duoer's invitation.

She had just taken a bath yesterday, and at this moment she was tightly holding in her hand the token of love given to her by Han Bo - an exquisite hairpin. In her eyes, the hairpin seemed to be the most precious treasure in the world. She cherished it so much that she had no time to care about anything else.

Yi Duoer knew that Yu Yao's heart and eyes were filled with her lover at the moment, and her mind was not on the bathing at all, so she did not try to keep her.

At this time, Yi Duoer had taken off her outer clothes, leaving only a white bellyband and white trousers. However, the simple outfit could not hide her agility and playfulness.

She looked at Yuyao's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh softly, muttering to herself like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life: "Alas, I have to face love, something that brings both joy and sorrow."

Her words were filled with complex and subtle emotions about love, and she was completely unaware that Chu Jingchen beside her was staring at her with his scorching eyes.

After she finished speaking, she jumped lightly without hesitation, like a nimble bird swooping into the river, splashing water in an instant.

Then, she dived quickly into the water like a nimble fish, and disappeared beneath the water in the blink of an eye, leaving only circles of ripples.

Time passed quietly, and after a moment, slight ripples appeared on the calm river surface, and a beautiful figure emerged from the water.

She is like a hibiscus flower quietly blooming in the moonlight, delicate and beautiful, fresh and refined, and her beautiful posture makes people fall in love with her.

Drops of water slowly slid down her silky hair and dripped onto her snow-white skin, as if covering her with a layer of crystal gauze, adding a bit of charm and allure.

At this moment, under the bright moonlight, her skin looked even more delicate and smooth, with a faint smile hanging on the corners of her slightly raised mouth, and a hint of cunning and playfulness in her eyes.

She shook her hair lightly, and water droplets splashed everywhere.

Chu Jingchen was so entranced by the scene before him that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. In his heart, his Duo'er would always be so charming and attractive that she could captivate anyone with just a glance.

"What are you daydreaming about? Come down quickly!" Yi Duoer's crisp voice dragged Chu Jingchen back to reality from his beautiful fantasy.

He was slightly startled, his body swayed slightly, and then, as if pulled by an invisible force, he naturally came behind Yi Duoer.

He suppressed the strong desire in his body and the surging emotions in his heart, and carefully wiped her back.

At this moment, his Adam's apple rolled back and forth involuntarily, his breathing became heavier, and the suppressed emotions seemed to be about to burst out of his chest.

Yi Duo'er didn't notice his abnormality at the moment. She just muttered some trivial things to herself. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked casually, "Don't you take off your clothes when you take a shower?"

Chu Jingchen just hummed lightly, then he tried to make his voice sound calm and said: "Girl, your skin is so moist and smooth."

Upon hearing this, Yi Duoer subconsciously raised her hand and took a closer look at her arm, and responded casually: "Yours is not bad either!"

However, just as she finished her words, ten assassins in black suddenly emerged from the bushes on the other side like ghosts. They had a clear target and headed straight for Yi Duoer!

The black clothes seemed to blend into the night, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

Before Yi Duoer could react, Chu Jingchen, relying on his keen intuition, took the lead and hugged her tightly in his arms. At the same time, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, staring at the killers coldly like a cold knife, ready to take action.

But at this moment, Yi Duoer suddenly pushed him away, and then quickly jumped out of the water with him.

As soon as she got ashore, she quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on herself with swift movements, just like a cheetah. The whole process was done in one go, which was both capable and elegant.

Then, Yi Duoer looked at the men in black with a sinister look and shouted, "Go away quickly, leave this to me!" There was unquestionable firmness in her voice.

Chu Jingchen was stunned at first, with a confused expression on his face, but the next second, he quickly reacted.

He flashed and quickly came to Yi Duoer's side. He raised his hand and gently touched the back of her neck. Yi Duoer felt a black screen in front of her eyes. Before she could react, her eyes slowly closed and she fell straight down.

Chu Jingchen caught her steadily and gently placed her aside.

At this time, one of the men in black spoke first, "Kill this other woman too. Don't leave any alive."

As soon as the words fell, a group of men in black rushed towards Chu Jingchen like a tide.

However, Chu Jingchen did not make any move. He just stood there quietly, like a towering mountain, calm and composed.

It turned out that his masters in the dark had been ready for battle for a long time. When they saw the man in black taking action, they rushed out like tigers coming out of the mountains!

In an instant, swords and knives flashed, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and the masters fought fiercely with the men in black.

At this moment, Han Bo returned to the original place from somewhere. His eyes first fell on Yi Duoer in Chu Jingchen's arms, and then quickly moved back to the direction of the killers.

His eyes instantly turned icy cold, like a Shura from hell, and he coldly ordered, "Kill them all!"

After saying this, he lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Master, please forgive me. I came here too late and frightened Miss Duo'er."

Chu Jingchen had no intention of blaming him. He just glanced at him indifferently and said softly, "Don't be fickle towards a girl." Although there was no blame in his words, there was a hint of warning.

After saying this, Chu Jingchen turned and left, leaving Han Bo standing there alone.

Han Bo was slightly stunned, his face full of surprise. He seemed to be thinking about the deep meaning of Chu Jingchen's words.

Yi Duoer was acupunctured for sleeping, and she slept until the next morning.

When Yayu learned that the killer she carefully arranged failed to kill Yi Duoer, she was so angry that her face turned pale and she couldn't even eat breakfast.

She was gloomy in her heart, but her mind was very simple. At this moment, the personal maid beside her whispered:

"Crown Princess, why would it be so complicated to take her life? She's just a lowly slave. Just give her a cup of poisoned wine and a piece of white silk. Simple and efficient."

After hearing this, Ya Yu's eyes showed a hint of doubt. She said with some worry, "What should I do if the prince blames me?"

The maidservant said flatteringly:

"Your Highness will only be angry for a short while. She's just pretty, and it's normal for the Crown Prince to be captivated by her for a while. Over time, the novelty will wear off. Besides, you're the Duke's legitimate daughter, your status is incredibly noble, so His Highness won't actually divorce you."

After listening to the maid's words, Yayu pondered them carefully and felt that they made sense. After all, a lowly slave could not be compared with her in any way.

Thinking of this, her expression instantly relaxed, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would never let Xie Xingchen bring back a slave as a concubine, thus making the emperor and empress unhappy.

So she immediately ordered someone to prepare poisoned wine, with a look of determination in her eyes.

After Chu Jingchen learned that the assassin was sent by Xie Xingchen's Crown Princess, his eyes turned dark and deep, like a bottomless pool. He knew in his heart that Tuoba Hong must be the mastermind behind all this.

Then, with a stern expression, he said to Han Bo, "Dongli Kingdom and Huju Kingdom will form an alliance. Tell all the generals to prepare and gather 200,000 troops to await my command. Also, inform King Yingjue to unite the various tribes and clans to block the exits of the fortresses to prevent their reinforcements from arriving."

His voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to contain endless majesty and power.

Han Bo knew Chu Jingchen's thoughts very well. He knew that Chu Jingchen was a decisive and resolute person. He had long wanted to completely get rid of the restless Hu Ju tribe, and then arrange his own people to manage Hu Ju and bring it under his control.

So, when he heard the order, he nodded excitedly, his expression becoming uncontrollably happy.

The blood in his heart was boiling with the desire for battle. He felt just like the generals who attacked Jiangzhou that year. The desire and excitement for battle were hard to suppress. It had been so long since he had a good fight.

"I obey your command!" Han Bo responded loudly, his voice full of determination and loyalty.

At this time, Yayu had already brought the poisoned wine and came to the sheep pen where Yiduoer was.

Yi Duoer was chatting and laughing with Jiang Wange. They seemed to be talking about something interesting, with relaxed and happy smiles on their faces.

When Yi Duoer saw Yayu coming with a fierce momentum and followed by many servants, she knew in her heart that she had no good intentions.

However, she was naturally stubborn and didn't flinch. She simply raised her head slightly and met Yayu's gaze. Her eyes revealed an unflinching courage and stubbornness.

On the other side, Xie Xingchen came back from business and did not see Yayu.

He had a vague sense of unease. He was stunned when he heard from his subordinates that Yayu was going to execute Yi Duoer. He was struck by lightning and froze. He didn't even have time to change his clothes before he rushed to stop them in a panic!

Back to the sheepfold.

"What are you doing here?" Yi Duo'er asked in a cold, displeased tone. Her voice was like a biting winter wind, making people shiver slightly.

Seeing Yi Duoer being so rude, the maidservant beside Yayu immediately stepped forward and angrily scolded her:

"How dare you not show respect to the Crown Princess? I'm giving it back to you! Someone, slap me in the face!"

Jiang Wange was worried that Yi Duoer would suffer a loss, so he hurried forward, putting on a smile and saying nice things.

But she did not bow. Although she was down and out now, the noble temperament in her bones would not let her bow her head.

Seeing Jiang Wange dare to do this, the maidservant took advantage of the situation and pushed Jiang Wange to the ground, shouting, "Who do you think you are? How dare you say such a thing in front of the Crown Princess!"
