Ever since Su Manxue got into the carriage, she felt that there was a gaze that had been following her closely, which felt weird, as if she had been targeted by a poisonous snake.

Her body trembled, Ji Jiuhua didn't know why, for the dinner, the maids specially picked out a light palace dress for Su Manxue, but at this moment she was misunderstood by Ji Jiuhua.

"Do you feel cold?"

He touched Su Manxue's cold little hand, looked at her pale look again, and asked with concern, reaching out to take off his robe and drape it on her body.

"It's okay, I don't feel cold much." Su Manxue is not cold, but she has something hidden in her heart, and she always feels uncomfortable, and the more she thinks about it, the more uncomfortable she feels.

Especially when she thought that Zhao Jun might be waiting for her with a smile in the palace, Su Manxue felt like a terrified hair, and that gaze seemed to be much deeper.

Su Manxue closed her eyes and leaned on Ji Jiuhua's arms, only his embrace could give her a little warmth and make her heart steady, Ji Jiuhua comforted her, "It's okay, don't be too nervous, with me, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." ”

His voice was hoarse, and word by word penetrated into Su Manxue's ears, and she felt numb in her heart, like an ant crawling over.

"I know that as long as you are there, I will not be afraid of anything." Su Manxue mustered up her courage, no matter what Zhao Jun wanted to do, Su Manxue would never let him succeed.

With Ji Jiuhua's company, that gaze didn't seem to have any effect on her, even if that gaze followed her like a shadow.

Su Manxue completely ignored that gaze, thinking that maybe she had been thinking too much recently, and she had this hallucination.

When they finally arrived at the palace, they entered through the side door, but someone behind them entered the main entrance.

That gaze disappeared suddenly, and Su Manxue still felt a little unaccustomed, but this made her feel that the gaze just now might be real, otherwise why did it disappear now.

Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue held hands and went to the main hall, their position was on the outermost side, Su Manxue breathed a sigh of relief, she was so far away, she didn't believe that Zhao Jun could do anything to her.

The emperor has not yet arrived, there are only a few people in the main hall, and Su Manxue saw Zhao Jun sitting on the lower left side at a glance with several people in the middle.

His wheelchair was placed aside, and two palace maids were rubbing his shoulders beside him, and there were two stoves beside him, presumably because the emperor was worried that he would be cold.

Su Manxue felt strange, she always felt that the emperor didn't seem to care about his son, but cared about him very much, otherwise he wouldn't think so much about him.

This kind of care is more sincere than giving a lot of money, Su Manxue feels more and more that the truth of the matter is different from the rumors of the outside world, and the outside world says that the Nine Emperors are the princes who are least valued by the emperor, and the emperor is just pitiful to him.

Su Manxue shook her head, she didn't know what was true and what was fake for a while, anyway, it was none of her business, she didn't need to worry so much.

She came back to her senses and talked to Ji Jiuhua in a low voice, before the time of the banquet, the courtiers in the hall were talking, but they were not very cold.

However, Su Manxue saw that Zhao Jun was still alone, and several other princes were surrounded by several courtiers, but there was no one around him.

He was like a desert island, and this recognition inevitably made Su Manxue feel a little sympathy for him, but when he thought of what he had done to him, that bit of sympathy quickly disappeared.

Su Manxue forced herself to shift her attention back, and no longer let herself pay attention to what he was doing, anyway, no matter how pitiful he was, he was pretending, and he would never be fooled again.

And the other side.

Chu Yin took Gu Qin's hand and walked in step by step, her stomach was already slightly bulging, and she could only wear looser clothes to cover the bulge in her abdomen.

Gu Qin stared at her cautiously, for fear that she would have a little accident, this nervous look made Chu Yin laugh, he didn't expect that one day he would become so worried about himself, which she couldn't have imagined before.

"Be careful, there are steps ahead, be sure to pay attention." He muttered in her ear, Chu Yin smiled and nodded, and walked into the hall very slowly with his movements.

Chu Yin saw Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue sitting near the palace gate at a glance, she was still the same, her skin was whiter than snow, her lips were bright, she could always be noticed at a glance in the crowd, and her beauty was better than before, she was a little haggard, but she had a more sick beauty.

Gu Qin followed her gaze and soon saw Su Manxue who was talking to Ji Jiuhua in a low voice, he only paused for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking over there.

Chu Yin said sourly: "Cousin, are you happy to see the person you like?" He touched his belly again, "Child, my mother can only rely on you for her life in the future, and your father doesn't like you at all." ”

Gu Qin couldn't help but shake his head, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Where do I don't like you, didn't I just tell you two days ago, the past has already passed, and the person I like in the future is you." ”

He looked at Chu Yin affectionately, and under the attack of his eyes, Chu Yin couldn't last long before he disarmed and surrendered, "Then why did you want to see her just now, do you say that I am better looking or she is better-looking?" ”

Chu Yin knew very well what the answer to this question was, Su Manxue's beauty was famous in the whole of Kyoto, and she was just barely able to be called a small jasper, where could she compare to Su Manxue.

"It's you, naturally."

Gu Qin said without the slightest hesitation, but Chu Yin was stunned, "Are you coaxing me?" Chu Yin asked incredulously, she didn't expect Gu Qin to choose herself without hesitation.

Gu Qin stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, helped her sit down, and sat down next to her by himself, only then did he smile, "Then what choice do you want me to make, I just told the truth, but you refused to believe it, could it be that I told a lie?" ”

No matter how important Su Manxue was to him in the past, but now in his heart, the most important thing is only Chu Yin and their future children.

These days, Gu Qin has experienced the feeling of being a father, every time the child kicks Chu Yin's stomach, he is even happier than Chu Yin, and he is free from a child slave.

"You're barely getting through."

Chu Yin was happy in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be cold on the surface, but in fact, she was very happy in her heart, no matter how she couldn't compare to Su Manxue in the eyes of outsiders, she didn't care.

As long as he is the most important thing in his heart, the mustard in Chu Yin's heart disappeared completely, and she finally got rid of the knot in her heart all along, and no longer regarded Su Manxue as an enemy.

She just wants to live a good life with Gu Qin in the future, concentrate on being her princess, and she doesn't care about other things.
