The next day, Xuechen woke up feeling dizzy and his kidneys ached. Yesterday's painful memories came flooding back to him, and his brain was literally exploding.

After he felt weak and powerless, a deep anger welled up in his heart. How dare she do this to him!

Before he could recover, the guards took him back to the palace and made him kneel outside the study.

He lowered his eyes to hide the cold murderous intent in them!

Yaruo didn't arrive until noon with Jiang Xuening. She looked down at the man kneeling in the sun and said arrogantly, "Do you know you are wrong?"

Jiang Xue Ning was still wearing a veil, playing the role of a cold and aloof ice beauty.

Xue Chen concealed the murderous intent in his heart, raised his eyes and said with a hurt look, "Why did your Highness treat me like this? This is a humiliation to me!"

"Oh, men are really interesting." Yaruo chuckled, pinched his chin with her hand and said sarcastically, "What happened last night clearly only made you feel good, could it be that you can't do it anymore..."

A look of grief and anger appeared on his face, "I just didn't want to see Princess Doria being hurt by love, so I was distracted for a moment.

I have been with His Highness for so long, even a dog would have some affection for me. The sweet words from the past are still ringing in my ears, but His Highness mercilessly gave me to the woman in Chunguan. "

He sounded so affectionate and innocent, and Princess Yaruo seemed like a scumbag who was playing with people's feelings.

Yaruo didn't feel touched, she just found it funny. "I made me happy, so why did you take my words seriously? Are you kidding me when you talk about feelings with me?"

Xue Chen looked hurt, not understanding why she had suddenly turned so cruel towards him. She had clearly shown before that she liked him very much and treated him very differently.

He asked tentatively, "Could it be that someone said something in front of His Highness?"

He was really suspicious. Yaruo patted his face gently with her hand and said, "Although this face is beautiful, I've seen enough of it."

"From now on, you are not allowed to enter the imperial palace without my summons."

His face changed slightly, but his mind was full of thoughts. If he fell out of favor with her, all his efforts and plans over the past two years would be in vain. He could not accept this result no matter what.

But he also knew that the more he persisted, the more annoying he would be and the more ungraceful he would appear.

He straightened his back and said stubbornly, "Since Your Highness is still angry, I won't make myself unhappy and will take my leave now."

After saying that, he stood up, held his waist and slowly left.

Yaruo whispered, "Send someone to keep an eye on him."

"He is a bit scheming, but his methods are just that." Jiang Xue Ning commented coldly, "How did you fall in love with him in the first place?"

"He was dressed in flowing white and had some talent. He was different from the other men in Chaoyun Country and looked very special." She recalled the first time they met, "Maybe it was because of the novelty. He was also pretty good-looking."

At first, she was attracted to him and had a moment of heart-throb. Unfortunately, he was always distant and never dared to make a promise. Even when she was most moved, she could not see the true love in his eyes.

As the novelty wore off, her feelings for him quickly cooled. He was just a little entertainment in her busy daily life as a princess, and there was not much emotion between them.

This little bit of feeling can be thrown away in front of the throne. Moreover, from the very beginning of the first meeting, it was premeditated with evil intentions.

Yaruo was curious and asked, "You are very powerful, and the King of Yunzhou is not weak either. In the future, when you compete for the throne, which one will you choose, the supreme position or the King of Yunzhou?"

Men seem to have innate ambitions, and no one will not be tempted by the supreme imperial power. From ancient times to the present, too many beautiful women have been buried on the road to supreme imperial power.

This question is indeed worth pondering. Jiang Xuening raised her eyes and smiled, "It is said that men love beauty more than the country, but I am different. I want both."

What a domineering answer, Yaruo whispered, "If he covets that position, what would you choose if you can only choose one of the two?"

"Of course he left."

Jiang Xue Ning said without hesitation that she had been trapped in the web of love once and it wouldn't happen again.

Even if that person is Shen Zhaoyan, he will not waver in the slightest.

"It's Ningning indeed." Shen Zhaoyan suddenly appeared.

Yaruo, who had brought up the topic, left tactfully, as it would be bad if a fight broke out and she, an "innocent" person, was hurt.

Jiang Xue Ning looked at him with a half-smile, "I heard everything."

"Yeah." Shen Zhaoyan slowly approached her, "Ningning, do you have feelings for me or are you heartless?"

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "I am affectionate when I am obedient, but if you dare to betray me, I will kill you personally."

Someone took the opportunity to hug her, "It's still love..."

Jiang Xue Ning sighed softly, "I warned you a long time ago that if you get too close to me, you'll get hurt easily. It'll be tiring to fall in love with someone like me."

And because she has been through so much, in a sense, she may not be able to give him the same deep love. She has too much on her shoulders to put him first.

"Well, I deserve it. I just like to suffer here with you." Shen Zhaoyan said resentfully, "As long as you love me the most among all the living men, that's enough."

“This can still be done.”

……

As soon as he fell out of favor, the second prince immediately sent someone to ask him to meet.

He went to the house where the two often met in private. The second prince looked at him and smiled meaningfully, "How did you make her angry? Hasn't she always doted on you?"

Xue Chen knew in his heart that the reason why the Second Prince was so fond of him was largely because he was very favored by Ya Ruo. The two of them were just using each other and had their own calculations.

He would never let him realize that he was being disliked, so he smiled bitterly and said, "It was me who interfered in Princess Doria's affairs without permission and made her unhappy. I will comfort her when she calms down."

He said it calmly, and the second prince poured him a glass of wine, "You must have a solution. That girl has become more and more rampant recently."

He was suppressed openly and covertly, and he was filled with anger.

Xue Chen's eyes flickered slightly. He could not swallow that he, the holy son of the Snow Clan, was humiliated by her like this.

He immediately provoked, "She is becoming more and more powerful. This will be bad for you, the Second Prince."

The second prince drank the wine in his glass depressedly, "But father just prefers her, what can I do?"

"Throughout history, anyone who wants to ascend to the throne must shed blood. I wonder if you, the Second Prince, have the determination to do so."

The hint couldn't be more obvious. The second prince was obviously moved. "She and I have never gotten along. If she really ascends the throne, I will not have a good life."

"But it's not that easy to kill her."

He had wanted to kill her countless times, but he could never make up his mind. Once he did it, either she would die or he would die, the risk was too great.

Xue Chen noticed his hesitation and said calmly, "There is a good opportunity recently, but I don't know if you dare."

"Oh, tell me."
