One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

After getting up, the two of them did not mention what happened earlier in tacit understanding. However, their relationship was much closer than before, and each of their movements carried a tacit understanding.

Bai Yu was the person who understood Shen Ninghua's habits the best. Today, before she could even react to his actions, Chu Junyi had already settled the matter.

On this day, Shen Ninghua slowly gathered the recent happenings together with the news that Hong Ling had sent over. The maid beside Baili Shun was led into the room by Hong Ling.

"Your servant greets the princess."

"Qiu Zhen, why are you here?"

Qiu Zhen's face was pale. When he saw Shen Ninghua, he kneeled on the ground and pleaded, "Princess Zhao Hua, please save our master."

Shen Ninghua frowned, "Get up and speak. What's with the peace?"

"Please follow this servant to take a look, princess. Our master has been lying in bed for two days without any water dripping. If this goes on, this servant fears that master's body won't be able to hold on."

For the past two days, she had been investigating the Department of Internal Affairs. Although she often entered the palace, she did not go to see Baili An. Instead, something happened to her, "Sit for a while. I'll follow you to the palace after I change my clothes."

"Yes, thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess." Qiu Zhen wiped away the tears on his face and waited obediently at the side.

Bai Yan helped Shen Ninghua with the fox skin cloak and helped her to tidy up her clothes. He asked worriedly, "Miss, it's already late, is there anything wrong with entering the palace at this time of the day?"

Shen Ninghua's finger that was wearing the jade hairpin paused slightly. "It's fine, I guess it's just a small matter. Since the empress and the Zhao Family are protecting themselves now, the rest of them probably don't have the energy. Even if there's a conspiracy, An Ran invites them, I'll still go."

Baili'an had taken the risk to help her deliver this message. Although she hadn't made any preparations due to the lack of information, she still remembered this favor.

Shen Ninghua did not delay the carriage ride to the palace, directly heading to Baili An's bedroom. Upon entering, she was slightly stunned, and Baili An sat on his seat. Although his expression was slightly anxious, it was nothing like the serious illness that was described by Qiu Lingzhi.

Shen Ninghua turned around to look at Qiu Zhen, who had come to pass on the message. However, she didn't know when she left, but a bad premonition arose in her heart. "Princess, I heard from Qiu Zhen that you're feeling unwell, so I came over to ask if you're all right."

Seeing her expression, Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat and he immediately made a guess. "Did you call me here for the Body Refining Ointment?"

The Second Prince's injury caused his face to be disfigured, leaving behind scars. Now that the news of the Body Refining Ointment being in her hands had spread out, how could the Second Prince not let go of the opportunity to regain his original appearance?

Bai Luan's heart tensed up. His expression became more and more guilty, but he still nodded his head and said, "I'm sorry, I …"

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly and said, "No worries, I'll get someone to bring you the Body Refining Ointment tomorrow. I still have some matters to attend to today, so I'll be going back first."

"Condensing Flowers …." Baili'an bit his lip, the guilt in his eyes so strong that it seemed as if it was about to spill out, "There's one more thing …"

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind him. Shen Ninghua frowned and turned around. This was the first time Shen Ninghua had seen Baili JinChuan in close proximity ever since the drug was laid down in the jungle. Long time no see, Baili JinChuan was like a blade tempered by ice and fire, removing his previous flippancy and restlessness, his whole person appeared to be calm. However, through his sharp eyes, one could see the sharp edge hidden in his heart.

Especially the scar on his forehead. It wasn't that his hatred was obvious, but it made his originally handsome and resolute face even more domineering and valiant. He seemed even more imposing.

Shen Ninghua was on full alert as she looked at Baili JinChuan without blinking, "Greetings, second prince."

There was a faint smile on Baili Jin's lips as she spoke, "Rest in peace, go out first. I have something to say to Princess Zhao Hua."

Baili Ang was nervous, "Second Brother, didn't you say that you wanted me to invite Ning Hua over? It was just a glance. How could you go back on your word?"

Baili JinChuan turned his head, and the sharp look in his eyes and the intimidating aura caused Baili Jingjing's face to turn pale, "What, you're not going to listen to what royal brother has to say?"

"Second Brother, I'm not, I'm just that Ning Hua …"

"Princess," Shen Ninghua suddenly spoke up, "since you've already called me over, there's no need for you to persist any longer."

From the first moment she saw Baili JinChuan, she was sure that if she didn't agree to meet him alone today, he would persist in looking for opportunities in the future. Rather than having a hard time everyday, she might as well listen to what he had to say right now.

Baili An's face turned white as he looked at Shen Ninghua's cold expression. His heart couldn't help but shudder, "Condensing Flowers …" Baili JinChuan clapped his hands, and the palace maid standing guard at the door immediately came in, "Princess An Ran is tired, bring her back to rest."

Qiu Zhen led the two palace maids, one on the left and one on the right, as they brought Baili An down.

Shen Ninghua's eyes turned and looked at Baili JinChuan, "His Imperial Highness the Second Prince has good methods."

Qiu Zhen was a palace maid who was trusted by Baili Ang, who would have never thought that he would actually obey Baili JinChuan. Didn't this mean that he had already taken control of Princess An Ran's palace?

Baili JinChuan turned around and walked to his seat. He then picked up the cup of tea that was placed on the table, and his eyes turned even more profound, "It's been a long time since we last met, and you've already become the wife of someone else. It's truly touching to talk about."

"What else do you want? If you have nothing else, then I'll be leaving first."

The corner of Baili JinChuan's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't make a sound to stop her. He only smiled as he looked at the door.

Shen Ninghua walked to the door and forcefully pulled it open. When she discovered that the door had already been locked from the outside, her expression immediately turned even colder.

"Heh heh, Ning Hua, you're already a married woman. Even if this prince doesn't choose to eat, I won't do anything to you. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Shen Ninghua's face was expressionless as he curled the corner of his lips. "Since the Second Prince has a plan in mind, why must he let a married woman like me meet him alone?"

"Although your identity has been changed, some grudges haven't changed, right?"

Shen Ninghua sneered, "Grudges?" I am afraid there is no kindness between the Second Prince and I, and there is only resentment, is there? "

Baili JinChuan stood up, his upright posture gave off a strong sense of oppression, a strong sense of deterrence, "Since you think so, how about we properly settle this grudge?"

Since it's a grudge, then you can either blame me or blame you. Once you feel that the grudge is over, you can just stop.

"Heh, this method is indeed effective. However, I must naturally treat beauties a little differently from others. Although I have been in the battleground for a long time, I also know how to take pity on a beauty, no?"

"I am not a woman of fragrance or jade, so there is no need for others to pity me. I heard that royal father has recently arranged a marriage for His Highness the second prince, so when you have enough Fragrant Jade, you naturally can't pity me, a married woman."

With a sinister look in her eyes, her gaze lingered on Shen Ninghua's lips, "Such a beautiful mouth like yours, how can you say such provocative words? Ninghua, although you are a married woman, if you want this prince's pity, it's still okay, as long as you're willing …"

"I don't want to." Shen Ninghua's face was as cold as ice, "Second Prince, is that what you wanted me to say? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. "

"Xiao Hua, there's going to be a good show soon. Don't you want to see it?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Ninghua knitted his brows as he turned around. His heart was getting more and more anxious.

"You have always been exceptionally intelligent. Did you not guess something?" The smile in Baili Qingfeng's eyes was clear. "Then I'll tell you, when you left the princess' mansion, someone told Chu Junyi about your entrance."

Shen Ninghua's eyes turned cold.

"You guessed it? "Just as you were thinking, this person told Chu Junyi that he had joined the palace. Tell me, do you think he might have some sort of connection?"

Shen Ninghua's fingers tightened slightly. "Despicable and shameless!"

Baili Jin Chuan laughed, and his face suddenly darkened, "So what if you're despicable and shameless? It was precisely because I was too gentle and courteous with you that I ended up like this! "

Shen Ninghua sneered, "Gentle and courteous?" "Gu Yan is well aware of himself. Since the Second Prince is looking at his past actions, he will probably end up in an even more miserable state in the future!"

"Heh, it doesn't matter if I'm miserable. You'll be miserable. After all, I've just gotten married and you're going to be widowed soon …"

"Wouldn't it?" "I've always been interested in you. Chu Junyi knew that once you entered the palace, I would also enter the palace. I've also been living in a peaceful palace with your door closed for such a long time. Who do you think will be able to tolerate their newlywed wife doing such immoral things?"

Shen Ninghua sneered. Her eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at Baili JinChuan. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard the palace door suddenly open with a loud bang:

"If His Highness wants to know if I can tolerate this, then why didn't he personally ask me?" Chu Junyi walked in with large strides. Her tall and straight back gave her a domineering aura.

"Chu Junyi?" Baili JinChuan frowned as he looked behind Chu Junyi, but found that it was quiet outside the hall. There was no sound at all. Why was it so quiet when he had arranged his men?

Chu Junyi walked over to Shen Ninghua's side. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she slowly put down the tension in her heart and asked, "Ninghua, are you alright?"

"His Highness is gentle and courteous to me, so naturally, I'm fine." Shen Ninghua's tone was full of ridicule and the words' courtesy 'was especially emphasized, causing the expression on Baili JinChuan's face to turn even uglier.
