The winter sun shone through the carriage windows onto Chen Jia and Chen Jue, but it did not dispel the remaining chill in their hearts.

Having just experienced the thrilling experience on the ice rink, Chen Jia, who was now sitting in the carriage, still felt a lingering fear in her heart, but she was more grateful to Chen Jue and curious about the truth behind the matter.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the wheels made a "crunching" sound on the snow, as if telling the story that had just happened.

Inside the carriage, Chen Jia leaned gently on her seat, her face slightly pale, and the back of her injured hand was carefully bandaged by Chen Jue.

She frowned slightly, looked at Chen Jue, and finally couldn't help asking, "Ajue, no matter how I think about it, I feel that the Crown Prince's dethronement of Wang Yuan as the Crown Prince's Concubine was too smooth. Is there any reason that we don't know?"

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.

He gently held Chen Jia's hand and said, "Sister, do you still remember the assassination attempt on me?"

"Of course I remember. I was so worried at that time." Chen Jia responded, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Chen Jue smiled slightly and continued, "From then on, the prince and I investigated the matter thoroughly. Later, when I was recovering at home, we pretended to put the investigation on hold, but in fact, we were secretly stepping up the investigation. I sent my most trusted subordinates to secretly collect clues and track suspicious people. Every detail was not missed, and every clue was carefully sorted out. In those days, I often studied various intelligence late at night and thought about various possibilities. After more than half a year of hard work, we finally found out that it turned out that Wang Yuan and her cousin had planned the assassination together. For the sake of power and interests, they were willing to take risks."

"It's her! How could she do such a thing?"

"She will do anything for her own selfish interests. This time she picked a fight with you, which just gave the prince and me an excuse to take down her and the Wang family. In fact, I have been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time." A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Jue's eyes.

"How did you plan it, Ajue?" Chen Jia asked curiously.

Chen Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I know Wang Yuan has always been resentful of me, and she will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. So I have been secretly observing her every move. When I learned that she was going to hold a banquet to make things difficult for you, I felt that this was a good opportunity. I discussed countermeasures with the prince in advance and asked him to pay attention to Wang Yuan's behavior at the banquet. At the same time, I also arranged for people to monitor near the skating rink and notify me immediately if there was any situation. I also deliberately let some news reach Wang Yuan's ears, making her think that we had relaxed our vigilance against her. She really took the bait and attacked you unscrupulously on the skating rink. And all of this was seen by us, and it became another strong evidence of her crime."

The corners of Chen Jue's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Chen Jia lowered her head slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Chen Jue, her eyes full of emotion, "Jue, thank you. I know you have done a lot for me."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand tightly and said seriously, "Sister, you are the person I care about the most. I should do anything for you. Moreover, this time it is not only for us, but also to serve as a warning to others. Wang Yuan is the prince's concubine and has a noble status. She should be punished and divorced for making such a fuss. Those who are not as high-ranking as her should know what the consequences will be if they make things difficult for you. I want everyone to understand that no one can bully you. If anyone dares to touch you, I will never let them go."

Chen Jue's eyes revealed determination and dominance.

Chen Jia's heart warmed, and she said with emotion: "Ajue, you are so considerate of me. But, will this bring you trouble? After all, you are dealing with someone with a strong background like Wang Yuan."

Chen Jue smiled softly and said, "Sister, you don't have to worry about me. Since I dare to do this, I am fully confident. Moreover, the prince also knows that Wang Yuan's actions have also affected his reputation, and he also hopes to take this opportunity to rectify the atmosphere in the court. We are on the side of justice and are not afraid of those people's conspiracies and tricks."

Chen Jia nodded and asked, "Do you think anyone will dare to make things difficult for me in the future?"

Chen Jue said confidently: "After this incident, I believe those people will be more restrained. But we can't let our guard down. I will always protect you and prevent you from getting hurt. If there are still people who dare to provoke me, I will make them pay a heavier price. Sister, you have to believe that I have the ability to do this."

Chen Jue's eyes were full of firmness and determination, which made Chen Jia feel extremely relieved.

"I believe in you, Jue. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia with love in his heart. He gently held Chen Jia in his arms and said, "Sister, I will always protect you and let you live a happy life. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."

Chen Jia leaned in Chen Jue's arms, feeling his warmth and strength, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. She recalled the thrilling moment on the skating rink. If Chen Jue hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Ajue, at that time on the skating rink, I really thought I was finished."

Chen Jia's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. Her body also trembled unconsciously, as if she was back to the dangerous skating rink in the snow.

"Those people kept surrounding me, and the ice knives were slashing around me. I tried desperately to dodge, but it seemed like I couldn't get away. Every time they got closer, my heart was in my throat. I was really scared..."

Chen Jia clutched Chen Jue's sleeve tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chen Jue hugged Chen Jia tightly and said distressedly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well. I let you go through such danger. I won't let you fall into such a situation again." His arms hugged Chen Jia tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body and shield her from all wind and rain. His eyes were full of self-blame and pity, and he gently stroked Chen Jia's hair, trying to comfort her.

Chen Jia raised her head, looked into Chen Jue's eyes, and said, "Jue, I am satisfied with what you said."

Tears flashed in her eyes, but at the same time, she also had trust and reliance on Chen Jue. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, trying to give Chen Jue a reassuring smile, although there was still a hint of bitterness in that smile.

Chen Jue nodded and said, "This incident has made me realize that I cannot let you suffer any injustice. I will use everything I have to protect you and let you live happily forever."

His eyes became extremely firm, as if he had made an eternal oath in his heart. He held Chen Jia's hand and placed it on his chest, "Sister, feel my heartbeat, it beats for you. As long as I am alive, I will not let anyone hurt you."

As the carriage moved forward, the sunlight gradually became softer, shining on the snow, reflecting colorful light. The scenery outside the window was like a beautiful painting, slowly unfolding.

Snow fluttered down, covering the earth with a layer of white. The mountains in the distance shone with golden light under the sunlight, and set off against the white snow, like a dreamlike fairyland.

But Chen Jia and Chen Jue's thoughts were all on each other, on the bits and pieces of their shared experiences. "Jue, do you think we will always be happy like this in the future?" Chen Jia's voice was filled with a hint of expectation and a hint of worry. She looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but seemed to be looking for the answer in Chen Jue's eyes.

"Sister, no matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you. We will face every challenge together and walk every path together." Chen Jue gently lifted Chen Jia's chin and let her eyes meet his. "Sister, believe me, our happiness will be like this sunshine, warming us forever."

Chen Jia smiled touchedly, and she leaned into Chen Jue's arms again, feeling his warmth.

"I believe you, Jue."

Her voice was gentle and firm, like a spring breeze in winter, blowing into Chen Jue's heart. In Chen Jue's arms, she felt endless peace of mind and happiness, as if all her fears and worries had dissipated at this moment.
