The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

The title of the top of the list fell on Chi Chu.

The little girl looked a little happy, and her pace seemed to be much more relaxed.

The painting she had drawn was rolled up, and when the people below were about to put it on the table for her, a low voice rang out.

"Leave it here with me."

The servant turned around with some surprise and saw Cen Jinzhao with an indifferent look.

Although he was still as cold as ever, the words just now... were indeed spoken by him.

"Oh? Prime Minister Cen, when did you become interested in calligraphy and painting? I have a lot of them, why don't I send some to your house?"

The Kangdi above turned his head and looked over, seeming to be a little curious.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I just liked this painting, so I wanted to collect it on a whim, not because I like calligraphy and painting." The man said in a cold voice.

"Is it?"

Conti wanted to say that this was the princess's painting and was not suitable for collection.

But suddenly I thought of the relationship between the two of them——

If I remember correctly, Chi Chu and Cen Jinzhao were a real engaged couple, and the marriage was arranged by him personally.

When an engaged couple collects each other's paintings, it is not considered rude or impolite, but rather becomes a good story.

Kang Di was a little confused about Cen Jinchao's thoughts. He turned around and saw Chi Chu's slightly surprised expression. An idea suddenly occurred to him - this Cen Jinchao might want to start with Chi Chu and trick her into working for him.

After all, the identity of the sixth princess is still very useful.

Kangdi couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment. However, he always liked to think of Cen Jinzhao from the most malicious perspective.

In fact, Cen Jinzhao didn’t think too complicated this time.

What he said was true.

He was indeed in a spur of the moment mood. He felt attracted by the painting and for some unknown reason wanted to go home and see it.

It seems as if one can see something through this painting.

"It's nothing, it's just a painting, as long as you like it." Emperor Kang smiled casually, "Come here, wrap up the painting for Prime Minister Cen."

Chi Chu's painting was finally placed on Cen Jinzhao's desk. Someone secretly looked between Chi Chu and Cen Jinzhao, as if he understood something.

It seems... Cen is actually quite satisfied with this marriage?

After the calligraphy and painting competition, the whole banquet has come to an end. Except for Ning Yingyue who was full of jealousy, and Tang Qingyuan who became absent-minded after being talked about, everyone else wanted to make friends with Chi Chu.

Her status is not low. Although she has little presence, she is still a princess after all.

Moreover, now the other party's abilities have obviously caught Kangdi's eye, and she has become Cen Jinchao's fiancée, and her various identities and status have risen accordingly.

Even if you are not on good terms with someone, you should never offend them.

However, after the banquet, these people did not catch Chi Chu himself.

Because as soon as Chi Chu came out of the banquet hall, he ran into Cen Jinzhao.

Perhaps because he was still holding the other person's painting in his hand, Cen Jinzhao's expression didn't look so cold.

"What can I do for you, Your Highness?"

"Well...it's nothing important, I just want to thank you for the meal you sent me before." The little girl thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome. As long as Your Highness likes it."

Cen Jinzhao nodded expressionlessly, looking cold and ruthless.

"Prime Minister Cen..."

Just then, he heard the little girl call him softly: "Do you like my paintings very much?"

Cen Jinzhao: “…”

His eyes seemed to be darker than before, and he subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the words did not come out of his mouth.

Is that the case?

Does he like this painting, or... does he like it because Chi Chu drew it?

The scroll in his palm seemed to be getting hot at this moment. Cen Jinzhao was silent for a moment before answering, "Well, your highness's painting skills are very good. Although this painting only took an incense stick of time, it can definitely be called a masterpiece. It's normal for me to want to collect it."

It was unclear whether he was speaking to Chi Chu or to himself.

"Is that so?" The little girl nodded. "If you like, I can draw it for you separately. It took me a short time this time, so it's not in its best condition yet."

Chi Chu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and added, "And Mr. Cen, can you come with me? I want to put a stamp on the painting."

The four words "only for you" obviously made Cen Jinzhao's heart move slightly.

It seemed as if no one had ever said anything like this to him before.

He is not in a very good condition now, and the wounds on his body are still bleeding, but it is inevitable that it would be a bit abrupt for him to leave now. Moreover, the people sent by Kangdi are still following him. I am afraid they are still suspicious of the reason why he was late today. The way back will definitely not be peaceful.

It would be better to follow the little girl now, so that those people can relax their vigilance.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Cen Jinzhao nodded.

The two of them walked one after the other, and in a few minutes they arrived at Chi Chu's small courtyard.

The little girl walked towards her room with light steps, while Cen Jinzhao sat on a small stone chair in the yard.

Eleven and Zi Ning stood outside the courtyard and dismissed the maids and servants outside. Some secret spies also consciously stayed away for fear of being discovered by Cen Jinzhao.

When he realized that the feeling of being monitored disappeared, the man relaxed a little and rubbed his hand on his clothes inconspicuously.

Sure enough, my hands were wet.

Cen Jinzhao was injured on the way here. He had used emergency means to treat the wound at that time, but after he came over and knelt down, the wound on his body inevitably opened again.

It has become very serious now.

It's just that black clothes don't show color, so even though his fingers were stained with bright red blood and the blood soaked through his clothes, from the outside, plus the incense on his body covered it up, nothing unusual could be seen.

During the entire banquet, no one noticed that Cen Jinzhao had already been injured.

At this moment, Chi Chu's figure appeared from the door, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand.

Cen Jinzhao calmly withdrew his hand and looked at Chi Chu.

"Did you find the seal?"

"Yeah!" Chi Chu nodded. "It's a painting given as a gift after all. I think it would be more formal if I put a seal on it. Of course, I also took some other things that might be useful."

She walked over and put everything in her hands on the table.

Cen Jinchao didn't care much at first. He came here just to avoid the eyes of Kangdi and others and to take a short rest.

However, when he noticed one of the things on the table.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

Because it was not something else, nor was it the ink he had imagined when he heard the words just now, but a box of golden medicine for treating external injuries!

"What is your Highness going to do with this?"

The man's voice sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, as cold as the ice and frost in the deep winter, which hurt people.

What was even more terrifying was the look in his eyes. He looked at Chi Chu with full alertness, and his hands were already on his waist - where a soft sword was wrapped.
