Suddenly, Sheng Yunzhao remembered the reason why the other party might be unhappy, and immediately straightened up, "Ah, I'm sorry, I, I forgot..."

Yue Chenyan was confused by her behavior. He originally meant that she was plotting against the Queen Mother.

But why does she seem to forget important things like this?

But Yue Chenyan was out of habit and didn't ask, waiting for her to say it herself.

Sheng Yunzhao was extremely annoyed, and said with a guilty conscience and embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I left in a hurry this morning, but your jade pendant is still in my shop. If the prince is in a hurry, you can send someone over to find Zhichun and talk to her Said it was under the pillow in my room..."

His jade pendant would be invisible in her hand. She couldn't carry it with her. If she accidentally dropped it and let someone see it, something would definitely happen.

Therefore, after she packed her important things and left Ji's house that day, she went directly to the shop and put all her important things there.

Because she was going to the Royal Garden that night and didn't know what the outcome would be, she sternly admitted to him that the jade pendant was in her hand, and told him that she would send someone to deliver it to him tomorrow.

But there were many twists and turns that night. After leaving the palace, she followed the Sheng family back to the Sheng family. She really forgot about it.

The wall lamp was right above her head, and her dark and bright water eyes reflected the dancing lights, like thousands of stars falling down, shining with brilliant colors, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Yue Chenyan moved his fingers casually by his legs, his eyes deepened, and after hearing her explanation, he breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.

But the words that came out of his mouth were extremely cold, "Why, this time you finally admitted that the person who was there that night was you?"

What happened that night was like a taboo to Sheng Yunzhao. Hearing this, his face turned red and his ears were hot. He was so embarrassed that he took a step back with a guilty conscience.

Originally, when she faced him, she tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened between her and him, but when he caught her off guard, she wished she could escape from here immediately.

But she knew that this was an escape and would not solve any problems!

When things get to this point, they have to make it clear, "Your Majesty..."

"I don't have an invincible niece like you. I have been waiting for a whole day and I got such a perfunctory excuse from you?" Yue Chenyan's voice was smooth and steady, but Sheng Yunzhao helped him find a high-sounding excuse. reasons.

Otherwise, he was still worried about how he would answer when she asked why he was here.

"You..." Sheng Yunzhao was a little angry.

But this bastard actually took advantage of her?

She squeezed the gourd and gourd in her hand, and really wanted to slap him on the head to see if he was still her niece...

Then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, how could he go to the back mountain by such a coincidence? The reason for his love was to get his jade pendant...

Yue Chenyan looked at her little face, which was red and white, and his mood, which had been depressed all day, suddenly improved inexplicably.

But in the next moment, the charming image of that night slipped through my mind, as if a pebble had fallen into the calm lake of my heart, causing ripples and gradually becoming hot as if someone added fuel to the fire...

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to return your jade pendant, but..." Sheng Yunzhao felt that no matter how much he said, it seemed like he was looking for excuses, so he simply said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely put the jade pendant first." Time will be given back to you..."

Is that why she wants to break up with him?

Things that happened a few years ago also came to mind at the same time, and my heart that had just been warmed up also became cold.

Yue Chenyan frowned slightly, and his whole body instantly emitted a three-foot-deep chill. His voice was also cold and without any warmth, "Sheng Yunzhao, you are always so self-righteous. You think that you can take what belongs to me and give it back if you want." Can you pay it back?"

Sheng Yunzhao's expression changed slightly and he took a step back. But no matter what the reason was, it was her who stole his jade pendant. At this time, she really had no confidence to argue: "I..."

Yue Chenyan had no intention of listening to her, "Also, why do you think you can still return to the capital?"

His tone was obviously very calm and indifferent, but Sheng Yunzhao felt like he was mocking her, and he felt a little dissatisfied, "Since I dare to come..."

"You don't think that the mysterious Zhuyan Pill you made can really hide the truth?" Yue Chenyan said without mercy.

This is what he just wanted to say, and even he was shocked when he heard the news.

Not to mention her young age, even a high-ranking official in the court would be trembling with fear and walking on thin ice when facing such a scheming Queen Mother.

But she actually dared to openly bait the Queen Mother under her nose. Is this because she is cowardly, or is she tired of living?

Didn't she ever think that once the Queen Mother found it profitable, she would not let her go until the last bit of value was squeezed out of her?

At that time, how can she escape unscathed?

At this time, Sheng Yunzhao could no longer maintain his composure, and subconsciously took a step back, "What are you doing, ah..."

Sheng Yunzhao wanted to say how he knew, but because he was so shocked, he had already forgotten that there were steps behind him. He stepped on the steps and fell back...

At that moment, her heart seemed to be about to fly out, and her eyes were full of panic...

However, before her idea came to fruition, just when she was about to fall to the ground, her eyes blurred, and the man in front of her who was sitting lazily left his seat like an arrow from a string...

The expected pain did not come, and her body fell firmly into his arms.

Sheng Yunzhao only heard his inaudible groan...

The air filled with agarwood suddenly became silent...

It wasn't his own heartbeat, but the sound of the person's heart beating violently was amplified.

Suddenly, the sound of sparks erupting from the silver frost carbon in the charcoal stove woke Sheng Yunzhao up.

Only then did she realize what happened...

He actually used his body to protect her?

She turned over in panic and climbed off of him, kneeling beside Yue Chenyan, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"

She wanted to help him up, but she was worried about where he was injured.

Thinking about how hastily he got up and used her as a flesh pad, she felt that he would definitely not be easy.

Yue Chenyan stared at her intently, her face turned pale, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, the shock in her dark and bright eyes had not faded away, and they were filled with real nervousness and worry about him.

"Low back pain..."

Only when the word "pain" came out of his mouth did Yue Chenyan realize what he had said out of nowhere.

But the words have already been spoken, and it would seem guilty to change his words.

However, Sheng Yunzhao was convinced, because she just heard the sound he made. Although it was very small, it must have really twisted his waist.

He was injured while protecting her. Sheng Yunzhao felt anxious and grabbed his arm, "Get up slowly. I'll help you lie down on the couch first."

Seeing her anxious look, Yue Chenyan relaxed and felt happy.

He slowly sat up following her words, and Sheng Yunzhao didn't care about anything else, letting him hook his neck and trying to help him stand up.

Unexpectedly, her center of gravity was unstable, and her whole body was pressed underneath him.

Yue Chenyan looked at the person on his body, his dark and bright eyes filled with shock. His eyes instantly became as deep as the sea, and something seemed to be resurrecting in his heart.

Sheng Yunzhao felt her heart beating louder and louder, so loud that she woke up...
