After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Jin Chu almost dropped the teacup in her hand. She stood up suddenly, her voice sharp, "What happened to the prince?"

When she came out, Su Cheng'an seemed normal except that he was a little drunk!

Han Ying whispered back, "It's hard to explain in a few words. Mother Wang just said that if everything is fine here, the prince needs you, so please return quickly!"

Jin Chu's heart was shaken. She suppressed her chaotic emotions, took two deep breaths to calm herself, turned her head to look at Zhao'er who was still sleeping soundly, and said to Huanyan and Ye Jinxuan, "Brother, I'm going back home first!"

Both of them had worries written all over their faces, and they urged in unison: "Let's go!"

Jin Chu immediately mounted Han Ying's horse and said to the two Yus, "I'll go first. You guys take the carriage back to the mansion!"

Seeing Jinchu sitting firmly, Hanying turned the horse's head, squeezed her legs together, and the horse galloped towards the gate of the courtyard.

In Youyun City late at night, heavy snow was flying all over the sky. In an instant, it had covered his shoulders. Amid the sound of horses' footsteps, Jin Chu secretly clenched his hands under his robe sleeves.

In a short while, the gate of Prince Dingbei's Palace was right in front of them.

"Open the door quickly!" With Hanying's urgent urging, the door opened quickly. The two of them didn't even get off their horses, but rode straight towards Shaoguangyuan.

It was already early morning, the time when people were having deep dreams. The lights in Shaoguang Courtyard, which should have been turned off, were now brightly lit.

The two girls, Yuying and Yuning, were guarding the gate of the courtyard, one on the left and one on the right, looking out anxiously.

Seeing Jin Chu dismount, both of them showed relieved expressions on their faces: "Crown Princess, go see the Crown Prince!"

Jin Chu nodded and asked as they walked: "Where is your prince?"

"The prince is in the room."

Hearing this answer, Jin Chu felt a little relieved. The person was still in the room, so there shouldn't be any big problem.

When she was almost at the door, she paused and glanced at the disheveled woman on the ground.

At this time, the girl was only wearing a thin middle shirt, kneeling tremblingly on the bluestone ground where ice and snow had mixed together. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold or fear, but she curled up into a ball, collapsed on the ground, and shivered.

"The Crown Prince's Consort is back!" Mother Wang at the door called out happily.

The sound caused the person on the ground to raise his head suddenly, revealing his face, which was originally pretty but now had a pale and disheveled look.

It’s Qingyin!

One of Princess Du's four maids.

At this moment, she no longer concealed her emotions and looked at Jin Chu with an indignant look on her face.

Thinking about the unusual thing that happened when he met this girl at Hanzhang Courtyard a few days ago, as well as the uncomfortable feeling of being peeped at all the time, Jin Chu had a vague guess in his mind.

She met Qingyin's unwilling gaze and said, "Are you attracted to the prince?"

Although it was a question, the tone was full of certainty.

"Yes, I am pleased with you, Prince!"

For the first time, Qingyin raised her head and met Jinchu's gaze directly.

She pursed her lips, which had turned blue from the cold, her eyes blazing with indignation and resentment. "You, an orphan who lost your parents and came from the southern border with your younger brother, can marry into the palace and become the Crown Prince's consort! Why?"

"How dare you! How can a cheapskate like you be the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Mother Wang cursed angrily, then turned to Jin Chu and smiled apologetically, "This girl has bad intentions, and she was thrown out by the prince! The prince's wife, please don't let her dirty words offend your ears."

Just as Jinchu was about to speak, he heard Su Chengan's suppressed and forbearing voice from inside the room: "Ajin is back?"

Mother Wang came to her senses and hurriedly said, "The Crown Prince's situation is urgent. Concubine, please go in and see the Crown Prince!"

Jin Chu walked quickly to the door, paused, and said to Qingyin, who was still glaring at him angrily, "Why do you ask? Because I'm favored by your prince!"

After saying this, she turned around and instructed Mother Wang beside her: "No matter what, she is still your mother's maid. It's a cold night, so move her to her room and hand her over to your mother tomorrow!"

This is what it means to save this girl's life tonight!

Mother Wang nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this Crown Prince's Consort really had a good temper. Qingyin in front of her had committed such a serious crime, but she was still prepared to spare her life.

Being able to show such compassion to a servant, if I serve her wholeheartedly, the Crown Princess will definitely not treat her unfairly in the future.

Thinking of this, Mother Wang sincerely developed a sense of dependence on Jin Chu.

She instructed Yuying and Yuning, "You two help her up and find a room to stay for the night. Tomorrow, when the masters are up, you can follow their orders!"

The two men obediently stepped forward and were about to pull Qingyin up from the ground when they suddenly heard the door being pushed open from the inside.

Prince Su Cheng'an was only wearing a shirt, with his hair loose and barefoot, standing at the door. In the freezing night, his face had an unnatural flush and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Under the light, the pair of eyes that were usually cold and indifferent were now filled with the dense spring spirit.

He pulled Jinchu over, not even bothering to glance at the woman on the ground, and said coldly: "Such a corrupt servant should be beaten to death!"

Then he turned to Jin Chu and said in a low voice, "But you still can't bear it!"

The last sentence was filled with deep grievance and complaint. It was obvious that he had heard Jin Chu's instructions and was dissatisfied with her womanly kindness.

Yu Ning and Yu Ying, who had just helped the person up, immediately let go of her hands, and Qingyin's half-raised body fell to the ground again.

She heard clearly what the prince said just now. She didn't expect that the prince who had saved her life in the past would actually want to take her life today!

For a moment, Qingyin felt that the ice and snow in the sky were not as chilling as the prince's words.

She trembled all over, looking at the young man she had been thinking about in disbelief, and asked in a voice that was already a little hoarse: "My Lord, you, you want to kill Qingyin?"

At the end of her words, her voice rose, and there was hysterical tension and determination in her voice, as if if the prince really said something unpleasant to her ears, she would be willing to die.

Su Cheng'an felt as if his entire body was on fire, and every pore of his body was screaming for the word "catharsis"!

Thinking that I was drugged by this shameless bitch in public, I felt really sad.

When he thought about how this man dared to take advantage of Ajin's absence and his unconsciousness due to Chinese medicine, and how he had taken the initiative to seduce him in his disheveled clothes, and how he had tried to climb onto his bed and have sex with him time and again, Su Cheng'an was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and veins on his forehead were popping!

If he hadn't used up his last bit of sanity to throw her out, he would have followed in his father's footsteps!

If he hadn't considered that Ajin never killed people indiscriminately, he really wanted to beat this bitch to death on the spot!

In addition to the burning sensation in his bones, he also felt an itchy and numb feeling as if being bitten by insects and ants. The sweet scent from Ajin's body hit his face, and Su Cheng'an wanted to bite her directly.

But that bitch was still staring at him for answers!

He suppressed his lust and sneered, "You should thank the Crown Princess for her kindness. If I hadn't considered her feelings, I would never have let you see tomorrow's sunrise!"

After saying that, he pulled Jin Chu into the room and ordered loudly: "Take that slave girl away and don't let her dirty my Shaoguang Courtyard!"

Thinking of what would happen next, he added, "Stay away as well. Don't get close without permission."

Mother Wang outside the house responded loudly, glanced at Yuying and Yuning, and together they raised their voices, which seemed to have been drained of all their energy and had softened into a puddle, and headed towards the courtyard near Shaoguangyuan.

When she reached the gate of the courtyard, Mother Wang subconsciously looked back. In the tightly closed main house, under the dim light, a pair of entangled figures were reflected on the window paper.

Her old face turned red and she turned her head hurriedly, sighing in her heart, the Crown Princess will have a very hard time tonight!
