In the east courtyard of Prince Zhan's mansion, under the osmanthus tree in the long corridor outside the main hall, Su Jixue leaned her back against the tree trunk, her hands clasped together, held on top of her head by Prince Zhan. Facing Prince Zhan's condescending gaze, it was difficult for her to dodge.

Su Jixue's peach blossom eyes were full of vigilance.

What does Jun Wuzui mean?

Who does he think she looks like?

Looking at the woman in front of him who looked like a small beast with barbed thorns, a smile flickered in the eyes of the War King, but he said coldly: "Jixue, Jixue, the names are similar, this person looks-"

His narrow eyes, like those drawn with ink lines, lowered their heads and stared at Su Jixue intently.

There was a slight pause in his speech.

Su Jixue held her breath and controlled her heartbeat that was about to get out of control. No, she couldn't let him see any clues.

Who knows what Jun Wuzui is thinking.

Zhan Wang could feel the tension and stiffness in Su Jixue's body. A hint of mischief flashed in his eyes, but his face remained expressionless. He said lightly, "They do look somewhat similar."

"Oh? Jun Wuzui, have you seen that Nanqing witch?!" Su Jixue's heart was beating like thunder, but her brows were slightly raised. She looked at the War King provocatively: "What is your relationship with him that makes the War King so obsessed with him?"

The best defense is offense.

She threw the problem back to the War King.

Even the watery peach blossom eyes seemed to lack momentum when provoking, and the delicate appearance concealed the sharp edge that was once sharp, which was very different from the temperament of the person in the War King's mind.

But, that's who she is. She refuses to give in or accept her fate.

"Want to know?"

The War King opened his blood-thin lips slightly, and answered with a question.

This question hit Su Jixue's heart directly, making her heart skip a beat.

At that moment, the War King stood before her in a moon-white robe, unparalleled in his beauty. Above him, the green branches of the osmanthus tree spread out, clusters of orange and white, and the fragrance of the osmanthus filled her nostrils as the autumn breeze blew past.

She nodded decisively and said frankly, "I do!"

Although Su Jixue asked those questions just now to cover up her guilty conscience, now that she thinks about it, she really wants to know the answer.

She really couldn't understand the War King's attitude towards Ji Xue.

"I'll tell you after we get married." The corners of the War King's lips curled up coldly, and he let go of Su Jixue's wrist, turned around and walked forward. He didn't want Su Jixue to see the smile on his face that was no longer easy to hide.

The War King always thought that Ji Xue would always be as unmovable as a mountain to him.

During the battle at Gu'an, Ji Xue's final, unhesitating stab was as if the War King were no different from anyone she had killed before. Her eyes were cold and sharp, piercing her heart more than a blade.

But now, she said, I want to!

She wanted to know the relationship between Zhan Wang and Ji Xue, that is, she wanted to know what Zhan Wang thought of Ji Xue.

At this moment, it seems as if the frozen soil that has been guarded for a long time has finally sprouted new buds.

There was an indescribable warmth on the War King's face, which blended with his cold and arrogant temperament, creating an inexplicable contrast and charm.

Su Jixue knew nothing about it. She turned her wrist that had just been grabbed, wondering whether she should break off the engagement.

There's something wrong with this War King!

But the first thing to be solved is not this, but Su Jixue's current weak body, which is too much of a hindrance when taking action. She has to find a way to improve her physical condition.

Next time, I won’t be able to defeat the War King, but at least I won’t be easily defeated by him.

Su Jixue was thinking in her heart when the War King in front of her suddenly stopped. It was not until Su Jixue caught up with him that he casually took her wrist back in his hand and continued to move forward.

Su Jixue looked at her wrist which had lost its freedom again, and her eyes rolled up to the sky.

But now, I can’t beat him and I can’t afford to offend him.

Su Jixue rolled her eyes and broke free from Zhan Wang's fingers. Zhan Wang's eyes turned cold, and before he could react, Su Jixue grabbed his wrist. The cold light in Zhan Wang's eyes quickly turned warm.

Su Jixue snorted in her heart. If anyone was to be caught, she would be the one to do it. At least she could make some money and not lose so much money.

However, this time no spiritual energy flowed where the fingers touched.

Su Jixue tried to catch it in another place, but still couldn't find it.

She ran her fingers up and down the War King's wrist, finding nothing.

The War King felt a tingling sensation in his wrist, like an electric shock. He finally couldn't help but stop, his eyes fixed on the woman beside him like a predator's prey, "Does this King feel good to touch?"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Su Jixue suddenly let go and denied it three times in a row. She was looking for the spiritual power switch.

"Am I talking nonsense, or is Jixue taking advantage of me?" King Zhan approached Su Jixue and asked in an oppressive tone.

At this time, the atmosphere in the front hall of the prime minister's residence where guests were received was also oppressive.

After the eldest princess entered the mansion, she marched straight in with a group of servants. It was clearly a visit, but it seemed as if she was going to cause trouble.

"Your Highness, Mingyue is an unmarried girl after all. It is not appropriate for you to take these servants to the backyard." Su Jian could see that the eldest princess had bad intentions, so he tactfully persuaded her to retreat.

This time, the eldest princess only brought a maid, and the rest were servants.

"Then Su Mingyue is justified in deceiving this princess?!" The eldest princess retorted angrily, "Prime Minister Su, you must understand that this princess is here to hold me accountable!"

"It is indeed Mingyue's fault. She should have taken the initiative to apologize to you, but Mingyue is sick now and her mother is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is really..." Su Jian wanted to refuse, but before he could finish his words, the princess smashed the teacup for the guest.

"Su Jian, do you think this princess brought her servants with her just to talk nonsense with you?!" The eldest princess stood up, her face full of hatred: "Jing'er is still bedridden, and Su Mingyue's medicine is ineffective. If she hadn't interfered, our two families wouldn't be in such a mess now!"

"Whether you agree or not, this princess is determined to take Su Mingyue away!"

Since she came here, she didn't want to leave empty-handed.

Even if this is the prime minister's residence, the princess dares to destroy it.

"Princess, now is a time when a storm is about to come. Aren't you afraid that I will report you tomorrow?" Su Jian's face darkened. Even if she was the princess, she could not act recklessly in his house.

"Su Jian, are you threatening me?!" The eldest princess said with disdain, "Have you forgotten how you knelt in the snow begging for mercy? How do you think you rose to prominence in the court of Dongchu?"

"You are not qualified enough to threaten this princess!"

The prince turned around and ordered the servants and guards he had brought with him, "Go! Bring Su Mingyue to this princess!"

After saying that, the eldest princess deliberately turned her head to look at Su Jian, to see if he dared to stop her.

Su Jian's face was as gloomy as ice, his eyes changing from gloomy to bright, but in the end he just ordered the servants around him: "Take the eldest princess's people to invite the second young lady over, and make sure she is not taken to the wrong place."

The eldest princess arrogantly sat back in her original position, sarcastically looking at Su Jian who had finally compromised. "Su Jian, you are a flatterer who flatters his way to power. Don't pretend to be proud in front of me! It would be more pleasing to the eye if you acted humble and submissive!"
