A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Princess Liyue! I respect your father, the Khan. I will do my best to protect and tolerate you during your visit to the capital. But this does not mean you can bully my beloved at will."

His words carried a hint of threat, and both of them were shocked by his words. They both looked at Chu Jingchen, who had an unhappy expression on his face. Yi Duoer looked slightly embarrassed. She stared at him with a look of dismay!

Li Yue had lost her previous arrogance. She couldn't believe her ears and choked out, "Brother Chen, what are you talking about? She's a married woman. Did she drug you? That's why you were so tempted by her!"

She said it almost without any reason. Why did she like him for so many years, but in the end, he was not as good as a married woman? Chu Jingchen did not feel sorry for her sadness at this time, but just said it lightly.

"I made it clear to you in Zhiyi City that I only consider you my younger sister and have no other thoughts about you. I also promised you that if you find your ideal husband, I will give you a generous dowry!"

Li Yue felt aggrieved, "Chu Jingchen, it's great that you are rich, who wants your generous dowry!" Li Yue almost yelled, and then ran out of the room sadly.

Yi Duoer pushed him and said anxiously, "She's gone, go chase her!"

Chu Jingchen took the opportunity to grab her hand and looked at her affectionately, "Duo'er, please don't push me away. I don't know what Li Yue said to you just now, but I assure you that I have nothing to do with her. What I said just now is true. I have fallen in love with you. It is unforgettable."

Faced with the sudden confession, I felt a panic in my heart. My breathing became rapid. I pulled back my hand and said:

"Although Chu Junye and I are a fake couple, but...

Besides, there are rumors outside that Li Yue is your designated regent princess, so you'd better not tell me that. I'm not like other women who can do whatever they want!

Yi Duoer didn't dare to meet his fiery eyes, and could only look at him vaguely. Like a child who had done something wrong. Chu Jingchen gently stroked her cheek, asked her to look into his eyes, and said seriously and solemnly:

"Duo'er, please stop running away, okay? I can feel that you have me in your heart. When you were unconscious, you also called my name. You treat me differently!"

Yi Duoer immediately exclaimed in surprise at his words, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't..." Her cheeks flushed involuntarily, not out of shyness, but with the shyness of a little girl.

Of course he was talking nonsense. Yi Duoer cried and called for her family all night long. However, this trick worked for him very well, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart was beyond words.

"My Lord, the medicine is here!"

The maid interrupted their flirtation with the medicine. Chu Jingchen took the medicine, blew on it carefully twice, and fed it to Yi Duoer. "Come, drink the medicine first!"

Yi Duoer glanced to the side and subconsciously dodged backwards, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Yi Duoer said a little embarrassedly: "I can do it myself!"

She didn't want him to feed her the medicine and wanted to drink it herself, but he stopped her. Although Yi Duoer was a little reluctant, she couldn't get rid of him.

Afterward, Yi Duoer fell into deep thought. How had she been poisoned? Could it have been that Xie Xingchen from the day before? She had only dined with him, but who was he? Why had he poisoned her?

As she thought about it, her eyebrows began to frown. Seeing this, Chu Jingchen asked her worriedly what she was thinking about.

"What kind of poison did I take? Why don't I feel anything?" Yi Duoer asked in confusion.

She just wanted to find out who was trying to harm her. She had always followed the principle of not offending others unless they offended her, but now, someone actually dared to attack her so brazenly! This was unbearable for her!

"This poison is called Shixiang, originating from the Western Regions. It's a chronic poison. Repeated use can slowly weaken a person until they die. This poison is indiagnosable to ordinary doctors! If Duo'er uses it again, even I might not be able to save her."

When Chu Jingchen said the last two sentences, he felt a sense of fear. If he had been a step later, he would never be able to forgive himself.

But Yi Duo'er's focus was not on this. Her face was solemn, and she kept spitting out a few words from the corner of her lips, "Chronic, Western Region, can't be diagnosed!"

"Duo'er, don't be afraid. I've already asked someone to investigate. I'll give you a reply in a few days. Your priority now is to rest well and not worry too much!"

He helped Yi Duoer back to bed. Yi Duoer looked at him quietly, feeling an inexplicable sweetness in her heart. "Are you this kind to others as well?"

Chu Jingchen gently tapped her forehead and said lovingly, "What are you thinking about? I'll have someone bring you some light food."

Yi Duoer touched the spot he'd hit her with, making a playful, fierce expression. Then she quietly looked at his handsome, yet concerned face. She thought to herself, "So the rumors aren't true. He and Princess Yingjue weren't having any sexual relations."

Thinking of this, the corners of his lips rose several times, and his eyes turned into crescents.

The eldest prince Chu Junhuai has been released from confinement. He thought that Chu Junye had sent assassins to kill him, so he was extremely angry.

He and his retainers were discussing how to seek revenge and regain the emperor's trust. One of the retainers said, "The Night King is truly cruel. He's pressing you, Your Highness, and wants to eliminate you as soon as possible! Since he's unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."

His words aroused everyone's agreement. Chu Junhuai's expression was very ugly at this time. Since he was unkind, we could not blame him for being unjust. He said viciously:

"Chu Junye, I will repay you double for the humiliation I've suffered!"

In this way, a week passed.

With the help of Chu Jingchen's secret guards, Chu Junye has almost wiped out Xie Xingchen's minions in the capital!

The ban on Prince Ye’s Mansion was also lifted at this time, but Chu Junye’s official position had not yet been restored!

Regarding this poisoning, the evidence Yi Duoer found all pointed to Yu Shu, but she said she didn't believe it at all. She thought that someone else was secretly operating with her help, so there is no conclusion to this matter yet!

Chu Jingchen already knew that it was Yu Shu who poisoned her, so he did not touch her. First, Yi Duoer was protecting her, and he dared not disobey his wife. Second, he had to find out who was behind her. She was the key person now, so it was not the time to expose Yu Shu.

Yi Duoer has been recuperating in the Regent's House for a week. The environment here is excellent, she eats well and sleeps well, so her body has recovered a lot.

During this period, Princess Yingjue often came to the Regent's Mansion, either to ridicule Yi Duoer or to appear in front of Chu Jingchen. However, Chu Jingchen didn't pay much attention to her!

Instead, after finishing his duties every day, he would come to Yi Duoer's place to accompany her whenever he had time. It was like a young wife clinging to Yi Duoer!

At this time,

After Chu Junye finished his work, he was ready to go to the Regent's Palace to pick up Yi Duoer. Coincidentally, Zhu Qingxue came to the Regent's Palace.

Zhu Qingxue was beaming with joy, but just as he entered the courtyard, Chu Junye, who was coming towards him, asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Xue'er, why are you here?"

Zhu Qingxue was stunned for a few seconds after hearing his words. When she came to the Night Palace before, Chu Junye's first reaction when he saw her was always a smile on his face. He would also come forward and hold her hand at the first moment, very gently.
