Cen Xue put down her utensils as she finally understood how dark this palace was. Just looking at Imperial Concubine Hui, she was already able to understand the helplessness of this palace. This made her even more determined to escape; if she continued to stay here, she was afraid that she would die without even knowing!

Chunyu was worried about Cen Xue all night and wanted to visit Wen Yuan Pavilion. However, it was a taboo in the imperial harem so he could only send someone to investigate and find out that she was safe and sound.

Chunyu Jun had watched Chunyu grow up, what intentions did he have, he couldn't hide it from him. Seeing how worried he was, pulling him along all night to lecture him, he absolutely wouldn't allow him to do such things.

"Royal brother, don't worry. Cen Xue and I are definitely innocent." Seeing Chunyu Jun early in the morning, Chunyu Qian once again made a firm promise to him.

Chunyu Jun calmly looked at him, and said lightly: "Last night, I've already talked about what to do for the whole night. You think about it, in two days after we finish hunting, we'll return to Dongwu."

"Yes …" Chunyu Qian lowered his head.

Chunyu Qian thought to himself, there were only two days left until the day of the hunt. In other words, they still had two more days to prepare. Now that things had turned out like this, would they be able to safely escape with Cen Xue?

Taking a deep breath, it seemed like he still needed to make precise arrangements.

Ever since the diplomatic mission from Dongwu had visited, Helian Shan had relaxed a lot of his guard and allowed Cen Xue to freely enter and exit. However, this was only limited to the Imperial Gardens.

In the heat of the day, Cen Xue was unable to sit still in her house. She brought Wen Qing and Wen Xing to cool down by the lake in the Imperial Garden. The gentle breeze caused the calm surface of the lake to blow.

"Beauty, come and drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup. This can relieve the heat." Wen Qing placed an exquisite porcelain bowl in front of her and said with a sweet smile.

Cen Xue looked at the bowl of sour plum soup and felt a chill at the tip of her nose. The corner of her mouth curled up into a crescent moon as she picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful.

"Who do you think is here? "So it is Lin Mei …" A gentle voice suddenly rang out. From these words, there was provocation in every word.

Cen Xue had just gained some interest when she was disturbed by the sudden appearance of a woman. Imperial Concubine Bai Bingxuan saw her from afar and coincidentally saw no one nearby. She clearly remembered her hatred from last night and would definitely not let her off easily.

"Huai Imperial Concubine …" Wen Qingwen did not dare to offend her and was the first to bow to her.

Cen Xue continued to sit there without moving. It was still broad daylight and he wanted to see what tricks this woman could play. She wouldn't be able to do that and still dare to mess with her in this imperial garden.

Bai Bingxuan hated it when she ignored her the most. She wore a fake smile on her face, as she was on the verge of losing her temper.

"Why do you look so pale today, esteemed imperial concubine? Is it because you didn't rest well last night?" Cen Xue intentionally revealed her weakness.

Bai Bingxuan's face darkened at her words, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. In the end, she suppressed it.

Although she was very angry in her heart, she still maintained a smile on her face. After all, it was a sunny day and there were still so many palace maids present, so perhaps Mu Yue would suddenly appear in front of her again like last time. If she were to grab another bag, it would definitely affect her being able to ascend to the throne of the Queen.

Cen Xue looked at her fake smile and turned her head to ignore her, continuing to drink her sour plum soup with her head down.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm doing very well. I think it's really too hot. I'm going back to the palace. Take your time, sister." Imperial Consort Hui didn't want to argue with her here. There were many spies in the imperial garden, and she didn't want any words that would harm her to reach the emperor's ears.

"Help yourself …" Cen Xue completely ignored the so-called palace rules. Facing Imperial Concubine Hui, she sat on the stone bench, unmoving.

Wen Qing and Wen Xing were both sweating for her sake. However, Imperial Concubine Hui seemed very abnormal today. She was not as arrogant as she usually was. Perhaps it was because she was favored by a beauty, so she didn't dare to lay her hands on it.

Right after Imperial Concubine Hui left, Chunyu Qian ran over quickly and shouted, "Are you alright? Did she make things difficult for you? "

"Is she that woman you're talking about?" Cen Xue looked at him doubtfully. So the reason that woman left so calmly was because she saw Chunyu.

Chunyu Jun and Chunyu Qian had just came out of the Imperial Study. As they passed the Imperial Garden, Chunyu Qian's sharp eyes noticed that Cen Xue was in the pavilion. When they got closer, they discovered that the evil woman was there too.

"Of course it's her. That woman is not someone who is easy to deal with. You must not be careless with her, do you understand?" Chunyu modestly reminded her.

Cen Xue looked at Bai Bingxuan's departing back and unconsciously let out a light laugh …

Pure Yu Jun followed right behind him. When he saw his brother's back, he became more and more worried. If this continued for a long time, it was hard to guarantee that his brother wouldn't do anything ethical.

Seeing that the two in the pavilion were smiling, his worry increased. This was not a joke, the purpose of this trip had already been completed, and the military affairs that had to be discussed with had already been settled. After two days of hunting, he had to bring that brat back to Donghu City!

Cen Xue's sharp eyes saw Chunyu Jun approaching them, using his eyes to tell Chunyu Qian that she understood her meaning. Chunyu Qiong had just turned around when Chunyu Jun had already walked behind him.

"Greetings, First Prince!" The Chunyu brothers were both good people, Cen Xue could feel them, so she was naturally friendly to Chunyu Jun.

Chunyu had just turned around when she met her royal brother's pair of reproachful eyes. She called out in a low voice, "Royal brother …"

Chunyu Jun walked into the pavilion and nodded at Cen Xue in a friendly manner, "Beauty Lin, there is no need to be so courteous."

Cen Xue looked at the white robed man in front of her. He had a devilish face similar to Chunyu Qian, and was indeed her blood brother. However, as the first prince and crown prince, Chunyu Jun had an aura of an overlord suppressing Chunyu.

"Royal brother, you can't make things difficult for her." Chunyu shielded Cen Xue with his words, afraid that he would do anything to Cen Xue.

Pure Yu Jun rolled her eyes at him. She really didn't need to think. She was Lou Lan's beauty, Helian Shan's woman. What could he do to her? Idiot …

Chunyu Qian took a hit from him and took a step back embarrassedly. Cen Xue saw Chunyu Qian protecting his and felt very grateful in his heart.

"Second Prince, you don't have to worry about me. This is Lou Lan's Palace. I believe no one will have the guts to act against me." Facing the crown prince in front of her, Cen Xue paid a little more attention when she spoke.

Chunyu Jun looked at Cen Xue appreciatively. She was indeed a woman with both beauty and wisdom. If he had met such a woman first, he would definitely have taken her in.

Chunyu Jun's eyes stared straight at Cen Xue, causing his to feel uncomfortable all over. Even though she knew that he had no ill intentions, he still felt itchy all over.

"Sorry, maybe the weather is too hot and makes me dizzy, so I won't accompany you …" Cen Xue cleverly found an excuse to leave.

Chunyu Qian listened to her and wanted to go up and see if she had suffered heatstroke. However, due to the presence of his royal brother, he couldn't get too close to Cen Xue so he could only communicate with her through his eyes.

"Since the beauty is not feeling well, then let's hurry back and have a good rest." Chunyu Jun gave way and let her leave on his own.

Behind him, Wen Qingwen and Xingzhi immediately went forward to support their master. They had always been silently following behind him, ready to listen to their master's commands at any time.

Cen Xue slowly bowed to Chun Yujun before walking past him. When she was in front of Chunyu Qian, she suddenly paused for a moment. She gave him a look before following him out of the lake …

In the following days, Chunyu Jun treated Chunyu as if he was the most important person, and took him along wherever they went. His goal was to not give him the chance to find that Lin beauty, and he did not want the alliance between the two countries to break.

But regardless of how Chunyu Jun treated him, even if he didn't go to Wen Yuan Pavilion to find Cen Xue, he still had a way to get in touch with her. The young eunuch would send them a secret message every day, waiting for the day of the hunt.

Everything was prepared except for the east wind. Helian Shan was going hunting with the Chunyu brothers today, but early in the morning, Chunyu Qian yelled that his whole body was exhausted. Moreover, his stomach was aching a bit, especially last night.

Seeing him like this, Chunyu Jun reckoned that he ate something bad and the imperial physician must have come to diagnose him. He also said that he ate some medicine and rested for a day and a half.

With his appearance, there was no way for him to hunt. Although he was worried about staying in the palace, he was still not feeling well and could not play any tricks. Chunyu Jun then left the officials by his side and left the palace with Helian Shan to hunt!

When the king wasn't in the palace, the main forces that were protecting the prince had all followed him out. Even the four bodyguards, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird, all followed him out.

In order to not attract attention, Cen Xue changed into Wen Qing's clothes. After some thought, Wen Qing and Wen Xing were unwilling to leave and insisted on staying, but it wasn't that they were unwilling to leave, it was just that if a beauty were to leave with their group, their goal would be too big, and they wouldn't be able to leave the palace.

Cen Xue bitterly looked at the little girls and eunuchs who served her, hoping that she would leave and that the heavens would not make things difficult for them. However, she understood what kind of character that man had.

"Beauty, don't hesitate, this servant knows that you are not happy here and wanted to leave for a long time." Beauty, don't hesitate, this servant knows that you are not happy here and wants to leave for a long time. Wen Qing looked anxiously at her hesitant master.

Cen Xue looked at these familiar faces and gritted her teeth as she said, "Wait till I'm gone. If he extorts you, you can't talk nonsense. You have to say that you don't know anything, understand?"
