Chu Huanyan walked into the courtyard and immediately saw Xiao Rongxuan standing in the courtyard.

"I think Miss Chu won't be surprised at all when she sees this prince." Xiao Rongxuan looked at Chu Huanyan with a hint of pride in his tone.

"Why should you be surprised? After all, at this time, besides the third prince and the empress, there is probably no one else who can invite my daughter here so blatantly." Chu Huanyan stopped and spoke.

"Forget it if you're not surprised. Aren't you afraid of Miss Chu?" Xiao Rongxuan was really dissatisfied with Chu Huanyan's reaction, "Now that Xiao Jinzhi's life and death are unknown, you are not afraid that this prince will kill you right here. , to vent the hatred in my heart."

Seeing Chu Huanyan's calm expression, he felt unhappy. If it weren't for her and Xiao Jinzhi, his reputation would not be what it is now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rongxuan became more and more resentful, and murderous intent quickly appeared on his face.

But hearing Xiao Rongxuan's words, Chu Huanyan smiled.

Seeing Chu Huanyan smiling, Xiao Rongxuan became more and more dissatisfied, "Why are you smiling?"

"It's nothing, I just think that the third prince really loves to joke. If something really happened to Xiao Jinzhi at this moment, I don't think the third prince would have bothered to bring his daughter here. What's more..." Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and looked sharply. Looking at Xiao Rongxuan, "The third prince should not dare to take action against Xiao Jinzhi."

Although Xiao Rongxuan was inevitably irritated by the recent setbacks, he was not at the point where he had completely lost his mind.

After all, Xiao Jinzhi is the crown prince of a country. If he really dies in their hands, it will definitely cause an uproar, and Xiao Rongxuan will not be able to escape the involvement.

More importantly, as an insider of what happened back then, even if Empress Wei was not as fearful of people in the dark as Emperor Xiao, she would not really let Xiao Rongxuan kill Xiao Jin.

The look on Xiao Rongxuan's face turned cold, "Since you know this, why do you still want to enter the palace?"

"Because I still feel uneasy after all." Chu Huanyan said lightly, "Even if I know that Xiao Jinzhi's life is unlikely to be in danger, I still want to see with my own eyes what his condition is like."

"Hmph, you two really have a deep love for each other." Xiao Rongxuan smiled sarcastically, "But you are really stupid. Now I can't blame you for throwing yourself into the trap. You said, when Xiao Jinzhi wakes up, he finds you It has fallen into the hands of this prince, how will he react?"

He did not intend to kill Xiao Jinzhi immediately, but as long as he had Chu Huanyan in his hands, he could naturally threaten Xiao Jinzhi when the time came.

This method was given to him by Mu Feng. Although it was a bit reckless to do it in the palace, he couldn't control so much now. What's more, as long as my father doesn't care, no one in this palace can do anything to him.

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Rongxuan quietly, "I'm afraid it's not just that. Those refugees happened to be in turmoil today, and they should be part of the third prince's arrangements."

"So what." Xiao Rongxuan hummed, "This prince has just received the news, Chu Huanyan, you are indeed powerful enough to mobilize the guards of the Prince's Mansion, but this also just shows that in Xiao Jinzhi's heart, you are already Treat you as the Crown Princess. Speaking of which, the more important you are to Xiao Jinzhi, the happier this prince will be. Those who achieve great things should not have weaknesses, but Xiao Jinzhi puts you at the top of his heart, so... No wonder this prince!"

"What the Third Prince said is true. If you want to achieve great things, you really can't expose your weaknesses to others easily, but..." Chu Huanyan paused slightly, raised her lips and said, "How can the Third Prince be sure that my daughter must be a If you leave Xiao Jinzhi, you can't protect yourself, and you are a soft persimmon at the mercy of others."

Xiao Rongxuan frowned. Could it be that someone was secretly protecting Chu Huanyan.

No, it's impossible.

His people could clearly see in the dark that there was only one secret guard left beside Chu Huanyan, and when he entered the palace just now, the secret guard stayed at the entrance of the palace.

The palace is no different from the street, and not everyone can follow it casually. The only one beside Chu Huanyan at this moment was this maid.

"You don't have to waste your time here and bluff, no one can save you this time!" Xiao Rongxuan looked at the eunuchs behind Chu Huanyan. Two of them had already made a full stance and were about to take action immediately upon seeing this.

However, at this moment, a message suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "The imperial concubine has arrived."

The next moment, Concubine Xue Guifei, Yue Gui and several eunuchs and maids walked in from outside.

Seeing Concubine Xue, Xiao Rongxuan was startled, and his face instantly darkened.

"My daughter has met the noble concubine." Chu Huanyan leaned down and saluted.

"You're welcome, Miss Chu." Concubine Xue smiled and stretched out her hand to help Chu Huanyan, and then looked at Xiao Rongxuan, "Why is the third prince here?"

Xiao Rongxuan did not answer, but looked at Concubine Xue with dark eyes.

"How come the noble concubine is here?"

Concubine Xue smiled and glanced at Chu Huanyan, "I happened to be walking in the imperial garden. I saw Miss Chu coming in this direction. I thought I hadn't seen him for a long time, so I followed her. It's just that this place is remote, Miss Chu. Why are you here?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, it was the third prince who sent someone to invite you, and my daughter was invited here."

The word "please", with a slight emphasis on the tone, is quite meaningful.

She did send secret guards out before, but one of them, instead of checking the situation, secretly sent a letter to the palace to ask Concubine Xue for help.

She was worried about Xiao Jinzhi's situation and wanted to go to the palace to check, but this did not mean that she would be reckless and impulsive without precautions.

Since Concubine Xue had intended to show good intentions before, she would naturally not let it go after getting the news about herself.

"Oh, really." Concubine Xue looked at Xiao Rongxuan again, "Then I wonder why the third prince brought the young lady here?"

Xiao Rongxuan looked at Concubine Xue. If he still couldn't tell that she was Chu Huanyan's reinforcement, then he would be really stupid.

After a long time, he never expected that Chu Huanyan would secretly ask Concubine Xue for help.

He finally got such an opportunity to control Chu Huanyan, but it was destroyed like this?

Xiao Rongxuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "My Lady, you and I are a family. Do you really want to go to such an extent for an outsider?"

"Third Prince, I don't understand what you are talking about." Concubine Xue smiled softly, "I just heard that His Highness the Crown Prince fainted. I think Miss Chu must be very anxious and eager to visit His Highness the Crown Prince. You better not stop her."

"Then what if I want to stop you!" Xiao Rongxuan frowned fiercely and glanced at the eunuchs and maids following Concubine Xue, "Does the Concubine intend to confront you head-on?"

Just these few people can't stop him.

"How can I confront the third prince head-on, but..." The smile on Concubine Xue's face faded, "Before I came, I sent someone to report a letter to the emperor, asking him to go to Zhaoxia Palace. Do the math. It’s almost time to go back, is the third prince really sure that you want your father to wait in Zhaoxia Palace?”
