"As long as I can give you this promise, you will marry me." To be able to marry such a beautiful and moving wife, why couldn't they do so for a lifetime? Compared to her, the other women were all rouge and powder; how could they not be comparable to her?

"Hehe!" The Crown Prince shouldn't make such a rash decision. As far as I know, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Estate is his highness' fiancée! Furthermore, the young mistress of the Prime Minister's estate was able to convince the young lady of the Prime Minister's Estate to risk her reputation and disguise as a man. It seems like the relationship between the crown prince and this young lady is definitely not ordinary. " As Xia Si Zhu spoke, he observed Dong Fang Li's expression. He saw that Dong Fang Li's eyes gradually became clear and bright, while her gaze also became deeper and deeper.

'Looks like the crown prince has already thought about it. If I can't do it, then I'll have to ask him to stop thinking like this. It's getting late, so the nothingness won't disturb me.' Xia Sizhu stood up and left without a single trace of nostalgia.

"There is nothing in this world that I cannot obtain." Dongfang Li looked at Xia Sizhu's departing back as she softly muttered these words. Her eyes were filled with possessiveness.

"I want some water." Having returned to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Xia Sizhu was not surprised at all by the man's appearance in the room. She gave the instruction very naturally.

"Here." Dongfang Ye poured a cup of water for Xia Sizhu and passed it to her without the slightest bit of displeasure from the slaves.

"Dongfang Li has taken over the Esteemed Person Pavilion today. Did he do anything to you?" Dongfang Ye asked as he drank the water in big gulps without any regard for his image. He was a little worried that Dongfang Li would harm Xia Sizhu, so his aura became bloodthirsty for a moment.

"What can he do to me!" Xia Sizhu rolled her eyes. Is she the kind of person who is at the mercy of others!?

"Let me see your wound again." Dongfang Ye carefully examined Xia Sizhu. He was relieved to see that there wasn't anything wrong with Xia Sizhu's body.

"Yes." Ever since he was injured last time, Dongfang Ye had peeked out of the window every day to see how her wounds were healing. The more times she healed, the more he got used to it.

"The wounds have all healed up. This is a medicine for removing scars. Sooner or later, the wounds will disappear." After inspecting Xia Sizhu's wounds, Dongfang Ye took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest. He poured some of the liquid from the bottle onto her wounds and gave the bottle to her.

Xia Sizhu only felt that the scar was cool. Soon after, she heard Dongfang Ye's slightly concerned tone.

After Xia Sizhu received the porcelain bottle, she opened it and sniffed it. After confirming that it was free of poison, she accepted it.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done so already. Why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Looking at Xia Sizhu's actions, for the first time, Dongfang Ye felt like a donkey that had good intentions.

"Who knows if you have any perverted intentions." Xia Sizhu replied, unwilling to be outdone.

"This grandpa has left. I'll come see you next time." Dongfang Ye felt that there was no need to worry about perverts and perverted matters with this little brat. He left after saying that.

"I came in the middle of the night just to give you a bottle of medicine to remove the scars. How boring." Xia Sizhu weighed the porcelain bottle in her hand and read out loud.

If Dongfang Ye knew that it was rare for him to be so concerned about a person, not only would that person not thank him, but he would also place a boring crime on him. He didn't know whether that person would explode or not.

"Is Miss up? Someone from the old palace told Miss to go to the front door. " Early in the morning, Ling'er came in with a washbasin.

"To the front door? "Why?" Xia Si Zhu asked as he washed his face.

"Today, the Western Tomb's envoy came to my Southern Tomb. Master entered the palace early in the morning. From what I heard, the person who reported the news said that Prince Xi Ling suddenly said that he wanted to choose a concubine in the Southern Hill Estate. The Emperor immediately sent someone to notify all ministers to inform them that the daughter was to be married off to a consort in the Southern Hill Estate. " Ling'er brushed her hair as she spoke.

"Choose a concubine? I already have an engagement, so why would I go? " Xia Sizhu rolled her eyes in confusion.

"Although Miss has not been engaged to the Crown Prince, the people of the world have long recognized Miss as the future Crown Prince's consort. As a member of the royal family, Miss will naturally be able to attend the banquet as the future Crown Prince's consort." Ling'er gave Xia Sizhu a simple hairstyle as she explained in great detail.

"Alright, let's go!" Xia Sizhu looked at her reflection in her glasses before replying with a lack of interest. There were so many rules in the palace. If she could, she really wouldn't go.

When Xia Sizhu was walking towards the door, she met Aunt Liu. She went up to greet her and one of them turned into two people walking together.

When Xia Caisi arrived at the door, she saw that Xia Caixi had arrived long ago. Both of them were meticulously dressed up, so only they themselves knew if they were dressed for the sake of Prince Xi Ling.

"You guys are way too slow. Sis, let's go." Xia Caisi disdainfully looked at Xia Sizhu and Aunt Liu, then pulled Xia Caixi into the carriage.

"Aunt Liu, let's go too!" Xia Si Zhu first let Aunt Liu board the carriage. When she stepped onto the carriage, she took one last look at the distant carriage and thought of Xia Caixi's departure with a flash of coldness in her eyes.

"Is something wrong?" You've been nervous since you got in the car? " Aunt Liu rubbed her stomach. She didn't understand why Xia Sizhu had such a vigilant look the moment she got on the carriage.

"I don't know, but it feels weird." At this moment, they were the only carriages on the road. Xia Caixi's carriage had disappeared before they got on the carriage.

Xia Sizhu put down the curtain. It was very quiet along the way, which was why she felt that it was strange. Her instincts as a killer made her worry.

"There's no need to be so nervous. Look at the road, it's not like there's nothing going on." Aunt Liu tried to help Xia Sizhu relax her tensed mood.

Xia Sizhu, who hadn't heard anything else, was somewhat puzzled. Xia Caixiu's departure had clearly been filled with ill intentions, but why was she acting so calm the entire way?

Just as Xia Si Zhu was puzzled, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly screamed in pain and lost control. Seeing that the carriage was about to crash into the wall, Xia Si Zhu grabbed onto the stunned Aunt Liu and jumped off the carriage with her.

"Hiss — —" Xia Sizhu sucked in a breath of cold air. In order to protect the pregnant Aunt Liu, Xia Sizhu crashed into the ground and slid far away, her elbow scraping through a layer of skin.

"Thank you!" Aunt Liu looked at Xia Sizhu's cold and emotionless heart, which had been wounded for her, and a glimmer appeared in her eyes. How long? It had been a long time since anyone had cared so much about her.

His heart, which had been cold all year round, felt a trace of warmth.

"Alright!" Xia Sizhu replied in an almost inaudible manner before heading off to study the carriage that had suddenly gone mad.

Seeing Xia Sizhu's awkwardness, Aunt Liu giggled. She was the first to discover that the tiger-like Xia Sizhu was actually shy.

"The horse suddenly went crazy because it was stimulated by the drug. This drug evaporates very quickly and won't stay on the horse. That is to say, we have no way to prove the culprit." After the inspection, Xia Sizhu's eyes were full of seriousness.

If she hadn't investigated in time, the medicinal herbs would have evaporated during the party. It seemed that she couldn't underestimate Xia Caixi, as the days ahead would be extremely lively.

At this moment, there were already many people surrounding the carriage. The coachman had already lost some silver for the people who were knocked against the wall.

"Miss, auntie's carriage is broken. How should we get on our way?" He looked at the destroyed car, then at Xia Caixi and Aunt Liu, and his expression immediately turned bitter.

"What should we do? Isn't that the solution? " At first, Xia Sizhu had a confused look on her face, but soon after, her eyes swept across the street. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she looked at the slowly approaching carriage. The corners of her mouth pulled into an arc.

"You can't be thinking of …" Aunt Liu followed Xia Sizhu's gaze, her words somewhat tangled.
