Yu Guiwan thought he would not be able to sleep, but soon after he lay down, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

On the contrary, Xie Sui was very reserved, afraid that any noise would disturb Yu Guiwan. In the dark night, only her gentle breathing could be heard, and a smile appeared on Xie Sui's fair face.

This was something he had never dared to hope for before.

He didn't dare to hope that she would be his wife, or that one day they would be able to sleep in the same bed.

Is he asking for too much?

Yu Guiwan moaned softly in her sleep, kicked off her quilt in a daze, and then her brows relaxed and she fell asleep again.

Xie Sui couldn't sleep at all. Hearing the movement beside him, he half-got up and covered Yu Guiwan with the quilt that she had kicked off.

After covering himself with the quilt, Xie Sui lay down again. Unexpectedly, Yu Guiwan suddenly turned over, touched something cold, hugged it, and continued to sleep contentedly.

He was stunned, his breathing paused slightly, and the warm temperature of Yu Guiwan's body came from his palm, making him greedy. Xie Sui maintained this posture for the whole night as if possessed by some strange force.

……

Yu Guiwan woke up naturally. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Xie Sui's well-defined jawline. She couldn't help but sigh that Xie Sui was really handsome. The next second, she realized that she was still holding Xie Sui's hand and quickly let go.

As soon as he let go of his hand, Xie Sui opened his eyes. The two looked at each other. Yu Guiwan quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

She was so hot last night that her mother put a few hot water bottles on the bed to cover her. As a result, she couldn't help but hug any cold object she touched. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xie Sui's hand!

Yu Guiwan quickly got out of bed and escaped from this embarrassing place.

Xie Sui then moved the arm that Yu Guiwan had held all night long. It felt a little sore from not moving it all night.

He looked at his hand that had been hugged, and it seemed that Yu Guiwan's body temperature was still lingering on it.

After getting up and washing up, they went to the dining hall for breakfast. Yang Nian had someone prepare Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui's favorite food early in the morning. He was very pleased to see the two of them coming together.

"Mom, is my brother awake?" Yu Guiwan asked impatiently.

"She just woke up and is having breakfast. You and the prince can go over after breakfast." Yang Nian knew that she could never sit still, so he mentioned Xie Sui specifically.

As soon as he finished breakfast, Yu Guiwan hurried to visit Yu Yanlin.

"Brother, how are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Yu Guiwan walked quickly to the bed and looked at his still pale face, feeling a little scared.

Yu Yanlin saw Xie Sui following behind Yu Guiwan and wanted to get out of bed to salute, but Xie Sui stopped him in time.

"You are injured, so you don't need these formalities."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Yanlin did not stand up and replied to Yu Guiwan's words, "I'm fine. I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Brother, did you see the murderer? That man was so vicious that he even smeared poison on the knife." Yu Guiwan got straight to the point and asked what happened yesterday.

When Yu Yanlin heard this, his head buzzed and his expression paused.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Yu Guiwan suddenly had an answer in her mind.

"Brother, was it Xu Che who did it?"

Yu Yanlin still didn't say anything, and his mood became complicated.

"I'm going to settle the score with him. Why did he do such a cruel thing to take your life when you were my friend for many years?" Yu Guiwan said, and took the long sword hanging in front of his bed and was about to walk out.

"Ah Wan." Yu Yanlin called out before continuing, "Don't go. From now on, we are done with each other."

These words undoubtedly confirmed Xu Che's evil intentions.

Yu Guiwan looked dazed for a moment. In her previous life, Xu Che and her brother had always been close friends, and Xu Che had actually always been Xie Yunqi's person and was loyal to him. Now in this life, she was married to Xie Sui. Even if they didn't break up now, they would only be on opposite sides in the future.

"elder brother……"

Yu Guiwan cried out, not knowing how to comfort him, a sense of guilt rising in her heart.

"Awan, I'm a little tired and want to take a rest." Yu Yanlin closed his eyes, his mind full of what he said when he broke up with Xu Che. For the sake of his sister, he would never stand on the side of King Ping again, and Xu Che would not betray King Ping because of him.

He understood that Xu Che had no control over his own actions.

"Then you should have a good rest." Yu Guiwan put down his sword, did not disturb him anymore, and followed Xie Sui out of the house.

After seeing the people, Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui took the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion back.

*

Prince Ping's Mansion, study.

"You did a great job last night."

Xie Yunqi sat in a wheelchair and was very satisfied with Xu Che. Now that he knew that Xu Che was loyal to him, he felt much more at ease.

Xu Che had not slept all night and was called to Prince Ping's Mansion by Xie Yunqi this morning. He looked haggard at the moment.

"Your Highness, I don't know if he..." Xu Che hesitated for a long time and finally asked.

Xie Yunqi glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't worry, he's not dead."

Even such a poison couldn't kill Yu Yanlin.

He said viciously in his heart.

Xu Che's brows relaxed, and his heart finally settled back into his stomach.

"You and Yu Yanlin are on two different paths from now on. Xu Che, you have followed me for so many years, please don't let me down." Xie Yunqi's words were a warning to him.

"Xu Che will never forget your life-saving grace, Your Highness." Xu Che bowed.

Xie Yunqi knew Xu Che's temperament and knew he would not betray him, but he was still relieved when he heard this, "Go back."

As soon as Xu Che left, a hurried figure came towards the study, but was stopped by the guards outside. "Your Highness is not seeing anyone, go back."

Upon seeing this, Yao Huan immediately knelt at the door and cried, "Your Highness, please save me! The concubine has been poisoned and is in imminent danger!"

"The concubine said she wanted to see you before she died. I hope you will come and see us for the sake of our past."

Yaohuan kept kowtowing outside and begging Xie Yunqi.

Xie Yunqi frowned as he listened to Yao Huan's words. In the end, he still had some feelings for Shen Yunmiao.

"Someone, push me over."

When Xie Yunqi arrived, Fu Yan learned the news and rushed over immediately.

Shen Yunmiao was lying on the bed, dying, with the front of his clothes stained red with blood.

"Your Highness." She was helped up by Yaozhu and called out weakly.

When Xie Yunqi saw her like this, he felt a little bit sorry for her.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong about what happened before. I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I'm afraid I'm dying. I didn't expect that I could see your Highness one last time."

"I will now return this jade pendant to His Highness. Yun Miao did something wrong and does not deserve the jade pendant Your Highness gave me."

Shen Yunmiao trembled as he took out a jade pendant with auspicious cloud patterns from under his pillow.
