Zhou Yanze hugged Yanyan, curled his lips and smiled, his smile was gentle and soft, his eyes were shining, bright and deep, "As long as Yanyan doesn't dislike me, that's good."

Liu Yanyan raised her head slightly, with a trace of emotion in her eyes. How could a prince of his status say such humble words? Her heart softened suddenly, "Prince, what are you talking about! You killed Lin Rou because of me, right? How could I possibly despise you?"

Zhou Yanze was moved, hugged Yanyan tightly, and said in a charming voice, "Yanyan, call me Yanze. Calling you Prince is too distant. Let alone killing one person, I am willing to kill ten thousand people for you."

Liu Yanyan gently pushed his chest but failed to move. She could only gently say, "Yan Ze, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a lunatic who kills people without blinking an eye. How could I possibly kill tens of thousands of people? Let me go. You're holding me too tight and it hurts~."

Zhou Yanze then nervously let go of his hand, looked at Yanyan rubbing her arm, and said guiltily, "It's all my fault. Yanyan's hand hurts. I deserve to be hit. Yanyan, hit me!"

Liu Yanyan moved her arms and said, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore. Yanze, don't be nervous, I'm fine." After saying that, she took the initiative to hold his warm big hand for the first time.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of tenderness and affection. He happily held Yanyan's hand and walked on the deck. Looking at the blood-stained lake, his heart was sweet.

When Liu Yanyan saw the dark red blood flowing from the bottom of the boat and thought of Mrs. Lin Jiang who was beaten all over and didn't dare to divorce, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was better for Master Lin to die.

Zhou Yanze held Yanyan's hand, looked into her dark and calm eyes, and said, "Yanyan, what are you thinking about? Tell me!"

Liu Yanyan raised her eyes and looked at him gently and quietly, and slowly said, "Now that Master Lin is dead, will his wife, Lin Jiang, live a better life? Will the baby in her belly live a better life?"

Zhou Yanze thought for a long time and said, "Yanyan, why do you think so! After the death of Master Lin, she has no one to rely on. After the death of Master Lin, Lin Jiang's life may not be better! Think about the other people in the Marquis' Mansion, they are not good people! Even if she has good intentions, her life will not be easy. She may not starve, but she may not be able to keep her child."

Liu Yanyan nodded. "It's good that she won't starve and no one beats her. It's just a pity for the child. You don't know, the last time she was pregnant, she was beaten and fainted at the gate of the government office. She didn't even dare to divorce!"

Zhou Yanze sighed softly, "Yanyan is still too kind. Jiang's family's position is too low, and she is afraid of retaliation for divorce, so she dare not divorce. Her father spent half his life to pass the exam, and was suppressed. The whole family has no way to survive, so she dare not divorce. Yanyan, don't think about this, we can't control so much!"

Liu Yanyan looked up, the fiery red sun slowly fell into the horizon, and said lightly, "Yes! Let's not talk about her, she has too many concerns. Yanze, look at the sun, it's so beautiful."

Zhou Yanze hugged Yanyan and whispered, "You are beautiful, but not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as Yanyan. Yanyan, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently. Although she didn't dare to believe the promise he made, she said happily, "Yan Ze, what you said is very good. You have to be good to me all your life, otherwise I will be sad. If I am sad, I will become a monk and never come back." There was a thought in her heart, "If you dare to break your oath, I will kill you with my own hands," but Yanyan didn't say it.

Zhou Yanze hugged Yanyan, looked at the flaming sun, raised one hand, and solemnly swore, "I, Zhou Yanze, will love only Liu Yanyan for my entire life, forever and ever. If I break this oath, I will die suddenly and will not be reincarnated."

Liu Yanyan was moved and held his hand as he swore, and said seriously, "Yan Ze, don't say that again in the future. I hope to be with you well."

Zhou Yanze put down his hand, brushed Yanyan's face, and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to Yanyan."

Liu Yanyan was embarrassed and wanted to hide, but she was hugged and all her breath was taken away. "Yan Ze, let me go."

Zhou Yanze panted for a long time before letting go of her hand. "Yanyan, next time, I won't let you go."

Liu Yanyan's cheeks flushed, her breathing became rapid, and she leaned on his hot chest, with her lower back supported by his hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Night falls, fog rises

The cruise ship returned, and Liu Yanyan just returned to the Regent's Palace in a carriage.

As soon as Liu Yanyan entered the mansion, she saw Concubine Li standing at the door with a food box in her hand. She was wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold. "Sister Li, why are you standing at the door? It's already late at night."

Concubine Li bowed and looked behind Liu Yanyan, "I, your concubine, pay my respects to the prince and princess."

Liu Yanyan said helplessly, "Sister Li, please stand up! You don't have to look. The prince has returned to the barracks because of something. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Concubine Li was so angry that her teeth itched. She stood up and put the food box on the ground. "It's okay. I just came to give my sister a roast chicken. I'll go back after I deliver it."

Liu Yanyan looked at the huge food box on the ground, nodded gently, and watched Concubine Li walk away before saying, "Yuzhen, take the food box and divide it among you! Yuzhu walked back to the room, her body was sore all day."

Yuzhu nodded and said, "Princess, I will support you. You don't know that the concubine has been waiting here since early morning. It's so hot, and I don't know why she is shivering."

Liu Yanyan chuckled and said disdainfully, "It's okay, it's all some secret backyard stuff. I wanted the prince to see her pitiful look! I want to pity her! It's a pity that I didn't expect that the prince would not return home today."

Yuzhu couldn't help laughing out loud, "Haha, all this work is in vain. I was wondering why the concubine was so angry!"

Yuzhen was carrying a lunch box and walking behind him, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Liu Yanyan looked at the two of them, laughing like this, and said, "Okay, stop laughing like that. Concubine Li knows that you are laughing at her, and she is afraid that she will punish you."

Hearing this, the two little maids stopped laughing.

After returning to the house, Liu Yanyan asked Yuzhu and Yuzhen to help her change out of her official uniform and put on a pink dress. She let down her tightly tied bun, gently rolled up her hair, and put on a white jade phoenix hairpin. She felt much more relaxed.

When she walked to the side, she happened to see the food box brought by Concubine Li. Yuzhen opened the food box and saw several roast chickens inside.

Yuzhen couldn't help but say, "Princess, there are so many roast chickens, are you really not going to eat them? What a pity!"

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "Just eat it. Remember to test the poison with a silver needle before eating."

Yuzhen was stunned, then smiled and said, "Princess is still too cautious. How could something sent by Concubine Li herself be poisoned? Isn't this obvious?"

Liu Yanyan recalled the past, was slightly stunned, and said, "You should be more careful. You must be on guard against others, but you must not have the intention to harm others. You still have to learn to protect yourself."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Miss, no, the princess is still too cautious. I'll test it now." After that, she used a silver needle to prick the roasted chicken, but found that the silver needle was not poisonous, so she was relieved. "Princess, you see there is no poison, I said that the concubine dare not cause trouble for you blatantly."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "You can divide it among yourself! Just say it was sent by the concubine."

Yuzhu and Yuzhen then carried the food box and walked out of the house.
