At first, she wanted to struggle to break free from his restraints, but unfortunately the strength difference between men and women was too great. She couldn't pull her hands free even if she tried her best, so she had no choice but to follow him.

This road did not lead back to her room, but went straight to Xiao Zhan's bedroom.

After entering the house, Xiao Zhan closed the door with his backhand. With a "bang", Fu Dong and Qing Feng were blocked outside the door.

"Let go." As soon as she entered the door, she was pushed against the wall by a strong force.

Her thin back hit the wall and she frowned in pain.

She gritted her teeth and stared at Xiao Zhan. For some reason, Jiang Xue felt a little scared.

Because the man in front of him was no longer the gentle gentleman he used to be, but like a mad beast who could explode at any time.

Those eyes seemed calm on the surface, but Jiang Xue could read the surging emotions hidden in those deep pupils.

"You still can't forget Jun Li?" Xiao Zhan's sudden question caught her off guard.

"Is it because of the death of Liuli that you deliberately distanced yourself from him? Is it because you haven't completely let go of your feelings for Junli? Will you return to Junli's arms for the sake of that child named Minglang?"

He was a little out of control. After all, there was a dream entanglement between her and Jun Li. He was afraid that she would abandon him because of Ming Lang and return to Jun Li.

She was the only woman he wanted to spend his life with in all these years. Before he met her, he had never had such a passionate obsession with any other woman.

Her suffering, her wisdom, her understanding, her knowledge, everything about her, to Xiao Zhan, were treasures that he was willing to protect with everything he had.

"I..." Jiang Xue was about to speak, but before she could finish her words, her mouth was blocked by his thin lips.

A passionate kiss covered her cherry lips, and the hot breath rushed towards her, seeming to suck away every breath of air in her mouth.

This kiss was passionate and domineering, leaving her no chance to escape.

He placed his large hand on the back of her head and his other arm wrapped tightly around her waist.

He held her tightly in his arms, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to merge her into his body, so that the two of them became one.

She struggled and slapped his back hard with her hands, but her strength was insignificant to Xiao Zhan.

The more she struggled, the tighter he hugged her, and in the end, their bodies were tightly pressed together without even a trace of gap.

He was afraid to hear any affirmative answer from her. This was the first time in his memory that he chose to avoid a question.

Therefore, he did not let go of his hand until Jiang Xue became weak all over due to lack of oxygen.

"Xiaoxue, even if you hate me for this, I will never let you leave me."

Xiao Zhan's thumb gently stroked Jiang Xue's lips, which were slightly rosy from being kissed. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and a warm current surged into his heart. He bent down, picked up Jiang Xue, and walked towards the bed.

"Your Highness will not bully our princess, right?" Fudong's voice came from outside the door, with a little concern.

Fu Dong crouched down with his ear pressed against the crack of the door. Hearing some rustling noises coming from inside, he was so anxious that he wanted to break in and find out what was going on.

Qing Feng was quick to act and grabbed her.

"What are you doing?" Fu Dong shook off Qing Feng's hand, looking impatient.

"Your Highness knows what's going on. We, the little ones, should not interfere in the masters' affairs." Qing Feng's ears moved slightly, catching a sound in the room that should not be heard outside. He simply grabbed Fu Dong's collar and walked towards the pavilion in front.

At this moment, His Highness and the Princess cannot be disturbed at will? If this girl breaks in, won't she be courting death?

About an incense stick of time later, there was a loud "bang" in the room, as if something was knocked over.

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and rushed to the door to guard it.

Soon, the door slowly opened, and Xiao Zhan was seen standing at the door in neat clothes, with a faint red mark visible on his handsome face.

He lowered his head and coldly ordered Fu Dong: "Move all the princess's things here. From now on, the princess cannot leave this yard at all."

After saying that, he strode away with Qing Feng.

The princess was put under house arrest again, and this time, Concubine Zhou and the other noble ladies were naturally delighted.

In their view, the princess's house arrest was an explanation from His Royal Highness to the nobles.

"My Lady Concubine, His Highness really cares about you. When he knew that you were upset with the Princess, he immediately ordered you to be confined to your home." In Concubine Zhou's courtyard, Madam Cheng said sourly while sipping tea.

This Zhou family, relying on her youth and beauty, has been favored by His Highness alone, and the Zhou family has also gained power recently, overpowering the other four major families. Obviously, their Cheng family is the most powerful among the nobles, but now they have to look at the Zhou family's face, which is frustrating.

"Your Highness's favor is my blessing. A wild girl from the southern barbarians wants to compete with me, a famous lady from Beiling. Humph, she doesn't even consider her own status." Concubine Zhou fiddled with the flowers in her hands proudly, and took a pair of scissors to cut off the withered yellow leaves on the branches.

"Flowers always need green leaves to set them off. Now the flowers are in full bloom, and the leaves are useless, so just throw them away." For Zhou, the position of a mere concubine could never satisfy her ambition.

These days, the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Gong and the rise of power in the Zhou family have made Concubine Zhou's tail almost stick to the sky. She feels that she should stand higher so that she can be worthy of her noble birth.

She had her eyes set on the position of Princess Gong as the main wife.

Anyway, Your Highness has no interest in that southern barbarian woman now, so take this opportunity to kill her! By then, the throne of the princess will be easily within your grasp.

"Clang."

Suddenly, the sound of broken porcelain was heard in Jiang Xue's room.

Fudong looked at the white soup bubbling on the ground and felt nervous.

"Princess... this..."

This bowl of soup was specially sent by his servants at the request of Prince Gong, who said it was for the princess's health. However, it turned out that there was poison in the soup.

Fortunately, the princess had a keen sense of smell and was an expert in pharmacology. She knew there was something wrong as soon as she smelled it and overturned the soup.

"Clean it up and don't let anyone see it." Jiang Xue sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a thin white silk pajamas, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders. She didn't even look at the mess on the floor and instructed Fu Dong.

"Yes." Fu Dong quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground.

It has been more than a month since the princess moved here. During this period, His Highness has visited the princess so many times that he can count them all.

Fu Dong remembered that on the day the house arrest order was issued, after the prince left, she entered the room and saw the princess. At that time, the princess had a cold face, was wrapped in a thin quilt, and stood barefoot by the window.

The floor and bed were in a mess. The princess's previous clothes were scattered all over the floor. She was naked under the quilt. Her snow-white skin was covered with red marks. It was obvious what had happened.
