We had just returned to the entrance of the Duke's Palace, but Jian Yi was actually waiting for us at the entrance. Bai Chen and I were both stunned for a moment, the moment Jian Yi saw that we had returned, he immediately looked at us with an expression that said "it's all over".
"Princess, Young Prince, the Prince is waiting for you in his study room. You should hurry up and go. The Prince is looking very pale today, so you should pray for good fortune." Jianyi looked at us sympathetically.
Bai Chen and I looked at each other doubtfully, a little confused. Could it be that's confession was known by Bai Jing today, but it shouldn't be? We were so secretive, so we shouldn't know, but we couldn't think of anything that could make him so angry.
Bai Chen and I had already headed to Bai Jing's study room. Bai Jing was reading a book on the table, we could already feel his low pressure even before we had entered, and our bodies couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Third brother, you were looking for me." Bai Chen took a deep breath and sighed to himself.
I stood beside him, carefully watching Bai Jing.
"Where did the two of you go?" Bai Jing put down the book in his hands and walked up to us to ask, his eyes slightly narrowing as he looked at us. We went for a swim in the lake, and today was not Yu Er's day of courtesy. Yu Er, Minister Jiang, and I, as well as the female Miss Jiang, all agreed to go together to swim in the lake. " I quickly opened my mouth and told him what I had thought out beforehand.
"Oh, is that so? What are you doing, Bai Chen?" Bai Jing looked at Bai Chen.
"Didn't I go with her out of the residence? I'll definitely return together with her." Bai Chen lowered his head and said, his voice was a little lacking in confidence. In my heart, I was sighing that this child really did not know how to lie, as if this was something that even I would not believe.
"Really." Bai Jing asked again. Bai Chen didn't say anything else as I stood at the side and anxiously said, "Of course it's true. You said that Bai Chen is so good that he can follow us and still protect me?" I smiled and looked at Bai Jing. I was a little scared when I didn't come in, but now I didn't feel like there was anything to be afraid of. I looked straight into Bai Jing's eyes.
"Protecting you or helping him." Bai Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled. He walked up to me and looked at me.
"What are you saying? I don't understand, how could I possibly give Bai Chen a red line? He's still young." I smiled guiltily. Bai Chen, who was at the side, also jumped in fright.
"Third Brother, it's because I love the Sister Yu. I grew up with her since childhood, and you also know that it was I who asked her to help me. It doesn't matter to her." On the contrary, Bai Chen kept his promise and kept it to himself.
"I'm willing to speak the truth." Bai Jing said with a smile.
"Alright, I admit it, but how did you know? We did it so seamlessly, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it." "How would you know?" I couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know about anything that happens in the capital, not to mention that you're all from my residence. Naturally, every single move of yours is under my control." Bai Jing said indifferently.
"You're watching us." I exploded. Bai Jing didn't retort. He just looked at me with a dull expression.
"Bai Jing, aren't you going too far? How can you watch me without my permission? No, I won't agree! You're violating my privacy!" I said stubbornly.
"Chen'er, you go back first." Bai Jing didn't waver just because of my words. He let Bai Chen go after saying a few words to Bai Chen.
"You said that I violated your rights as a portrait, but what about you? Have you kept your promise? What will happen to someone who doesn't want to be honest?" He walked towards me step by step, and every time he said a word, he would take a step forward. I was intimidated by his aura as I retreated step by step, directly landing on his desk. Bai Jing was still coming closer, so I quickly used my hands to support his chest.
"What do you mean, 'speak nicely'? You said that I didn't keep my promise, so what if I did?" I asked, holding on to him.
"Are all women so fickle? A few days ago, you were still welcoming me with a smile, but now that you've achieved your goal, you just abandon it like a pair of shoes. Is this your true nature?" Bai Jing still approached me little by little, his eyes staring into mine.
"Can you explain yourself first? Even if you want to sentence me to death, you have to let me know what's wrong with me, right?" I was still completely confused. Normally, I would have already been in a frenzy, but today, Bai Jing seemed a bit off and I couldn't beat him. He doesn't know what being protective of a beauty is right now.
"You still don't understand." Bai Jing looked at me as if to see if I was lying.
"Erm, are you drunk?" I looked at Bai Jing. His actions were really too weird, he was either possessed or was drunk. His words were not like his at all, and he even said so much, what a miracle.
"Nope." Bai Jing said this and then continued to stare at me. However, when his face neared me, I discovered that his face was also red. His face was abnormally red, but his body didn't have the smell of alcohol on it.
I bravely extended my hand towards Bai Jing's forehead. It's really hot, so it's a fever. I feel like laughing, Bai Jing's fever is really different from the norm. At most, I'm just a little dazed.
I held onto Bai Jing's body and said, "Big brother, you have a fever. If there's anything, let's treat it first." I said to Bai Jing, suppressing my desire to laugh.
"Fever. This King has never had a fever. Don't change the topic." Bai Jing was still unwilling to forgive him.
I had no choice but to shout out, "Jian Yi, come quickly. Your prince is sick." I called out a few times, but the guy didn't come in. Where did he go?
Bai Jing's body was also burning. His body was swaying. "You woman is too noisy." Bai Jing said impatiently.
"You're not letting me say anything even when you're sick. If you have the ability, stop me from talking." I thought Bai Jing had a fever anyway, so I teased him.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jing looked like he had burnt himself to the ground. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at my chattering mouth, as if he was thinking about something. Then, his face enlarged infinitely in front of my eyes. My heart skipped a beat.
