Late at night, Yi Chu really had a high fever, and Zong Zhengjin hurriedly fed him medicine to wipe his sweat, and after several hours of repeated busyness, Yi Chu gradually improved. Zhao Qing was worried that Zong Zhengjin was hungry, so she went to the small kitchen to cook something to eat.

Only Yi Chu and Zong Zhengjin were left in the bedroom, and the rain outside the house was still dripping. Zong Zhengjin looked at Yi Chu who was sleeping quietly on the bed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his heart seemed to be stuffed with something, feeling very warm. Seeing beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, he picked up a hot towel and wiped it carefully for him.

Then she stopped in place and stared at his face blankly, to be honest, she had never looked at Yi Chu's appearance carefully. Two heroic and neat sword eyebrows, thick curved eyelashes are really more beautiful than hers, and under the high jade nose bridge is a thin cool and sexy lip, even if his lips are a little pale at this time, but they are still so charming.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to look so charming when you fall asleep." Zong Zhengjin's voice was very soft and sweet, looking at him with tenderness in his eyes, his hand unconsciously touched his face, and his movements were extremely gentle, as if touching a rare treasure.

Her little hand stopped at Yi Chu's lips, and her body gradually leaned forward, and she was about to kiss his lips, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of purple. Zong Zhengjin turned his head suddenly, but saw Zhao Qing standing at the door of the room looking at her with a shocked expression, still holding the freshly made dim sum in his hand. Zong Zhengjin's little face turned red, and she didn't care about him, she immediately ran to Zhao Qing and pulled her out without saying anything.

Zong Zhengjin pulled Zhao Qing all the way to the quiet corridor of the back room, and as soon as he let go of Zong Zhengjin's hand, he heard Zhao Qing's slightly excited voice asking, "Princess, what were you doing just now?" She couldn't believe what she saw, the princess actually kissed Mr. Yi secretly when he was unconscious, this, what kind of system!

Zong Zhengjin lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it what you see, you can't tell anyone." She suddenly grabbed Zhao Qing's hand and looked at her with a pleading expression.

"I ......" Zong Zhengjin didn't know how to speak, she slowly walked to the steps and sat down, nodded her head slightly, and admitted it.

Although he knew that it was very likely to be this result, Zhao Qing couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Zong Zhengjin admit it with his own ears. Where would she have thought that the thirteen-year-old princess would fall in love with Mr. Yi, who is ten years older than her, although the two are not really master and apprentice, but they are getting along with each other in a master-apprentice relationship. How can this be?

Looking at Zhao Qing's expression, Zong Zhengjin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You're surprised, aren't you?" Actually, I was surprised when I found out what I wanted, because I had always felt that I was just relying too much on him and didn't think about anything else. Until tonight, when I saw him lying in my arms covered in blood, my heart hurt like I had been cut by a knife, and at that moment I even breathed pain, and I thought, if something really happened to him, then I really can't live. In the end, tears were already in her eyes, Zong Zhengjin, who had never been weak in Yangzhou for five years, cried helplessly this time because of Yi Chu.

"Princess." Zhao Qing felt very uncomfortable, she was really sad to see the princess like this.

"Xiaoqing, what do you think I should do?" Zong Zhengjin raised his head, "He has always treated me as a student, and he is an indifferent person who loves men and women, why do I just like him?"

"Princess," Zhao Qing walked up to her and sat down, looking at her, "I know that you have someone you like, I'm really happy for you, Mr. Yi is a very good person, if you can really be together, that's the best, it's just ...... You also said that he is not a person who values the love of children, princess, can't you ......"

"You should know my character, what I believe has never changed, and likewise, the person I believe is difficult to change." Zong Zhengjin's tone was extremely firm and helpless.

"But it's hard for you to get results." Zhao Qing's voice was a little excited, she was distressed, the princess knew what the ending would be, why was she so persistent.

Zong Zhengjin smiled bitterly, of course she knew it was difficult, but since she loved it, how could she give up so easily?" It doesn't matter, I'm only thirteen years old, I still have time and a chance, if finally ...... He really didn't mean to, that. I will obey the royal arrangement. Zong Zhengjin's heart is extremely struggling, as a royal princess, she has no right to choose the freedom of marriage at all, they are all passive, but she still wants to fight for herself.

"Princess, no matter what you do, I will support you." Zhao Qing knew that she would not give up easily, so she would no longer persuade her, she still had a thought in her heart: Maybe the ending may not be as they thought, the princess is so good, what if Mr. Yi is also tempted?

"Xiaoqing, thank you." Zong Zhengjin hugged her arm, her heart was full of emotion, Zhao Qing was the closest person to her, and now with her support, she would have more courage to persevere.

......

Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight after the rain shone into Guixian Garden, Yi Chu finally woke up, and the hot feeling behind him instantly reminded him of everything that happened last night.

"Are you awake, sir?" There was a cry of joy in her ears, and Yi Chu turned her head slightly, and she saw that stunning face, and her eyes revealed excitement that could not be concealed. He was relieved to see her standing here unscathed.

Yi Chu winked at her, which was a response. Then, a slightly hoarse voice asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Sir, you were badly wounded, and you slept all night, and now it is dawn." Zong Zhengjin poured a glass of water and said, "Drink some water first, you should be thirsty."

"Yes." Yi Chu nodded, he did have a dry mouth, Zong Zhengjin helped him up and fed him water, and his gentle movements could drip water.

"By the way, what's going on with those assassins?" Yi Chu quickly returned to business and asked about the situation last night. Obviously it had already been planned, why did the assassins still arrive at the Guixian Garden?

Zong Zhengjin immediately replied: "Sir, don't worry, Ah Min and Brother Tang are already investigating, and the preliminary judgment is that it is the Xu family."

"That's good, I thought it would fail this time, so it's okay, at least you can get rid of the Xu family forces in Yangzhou first, and it won't hurt you." Yi Chu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no Xu clan in Yangzhou, then Ah Jin would have one less obstacle, and it would be more convenient for her to act.

"Sir, how can you block the knife for me? Do you know how dangerous that is?" Thinking of yesterday's events, Zong Zhengjin still had a little palpitations.

Yi Chu didn't think so, and said, "How can I watch you get hurt?" Hearing this, Zong Zhengjin's heart warmed, but Yi Chu continued: "You are the princess of Jinyang, you can't have anything."

Zong Zhengjin was stunned when he heard this, Mrs. Fang also said this sentence before she died, just because she is the princess of Jinyang, so she sacrificed her life to save her? Why?

"Ah Jin, how is Lord Fang's family?" Yi Chu asked, Zong Zhengjin's face instantly lost its lustre, and she replied in a deep voice: "Master Fang was seriously injured and is now bedridden, Mrs. Fang...... Mrs. Fang to save me...... has passed away. ”

"Ahh Yi Chu was shocked, he didn't expect that Mrs. Fang had passed away, this time the sacrifice of the Fang family was too great.

"Ah Jin, we owe too much to the Fang family." After a long time, Yi Chu slowly spit out this sentence, Zong Zhengjin nodded, this kindness, one day she will repay it.

As he was talking, Nan Xu walked in and saluted: "Princess, the fifth prince said that he had something to discuss and was waiting for you in the hall."

Zong Zhengjin turned his head to look at Yi Chu and said, "It should be the assassin's business, sir, I'll go over first, you can recuperate here, I'll tell you anything."

"Okay." Yi Chu nodded, and Zong Zhengjin saw that he was fine, so he put on his cloak and walked out.

As soon as she arrived at the hall, she saw Zong Zhengmin and Tang Yi standing there waiting for her, and after running all night, both of them looked a little tired. Sitting in his seat, Zong Zhengjin went straight to the point and asked; "How's your check?"

Tang Yi took a step forward, saluted Zongzheng Jin, and said, "Back to the princess, after verification, some of the assassins last night were indeed the Xu family's secret guards hidden in Yangzhou."

"Who else is it?" Zong Zhengjin was puzzled, could anyone still want to kill her?

"It's the killer of the secret door." Zong Zhengmin interjected, his face was very ugly, he didn't understand why so many people wanted the life of the imperial sister, and what made him even more angry was that half of these assassins had come with his team, and he almost became an accomplice.

Seeing Zong Zhengjin's puzzled look, Tang Yi explained: "The secret gate is a killer organization in the rivers and lakes, and it is to take money to do things for others, so someone should have hired them to kill you."

"Heh, do you still need to think about the people behind this? Who else could there be besides those in the royal capital? Zong Zhengjin sneered, they really worked hard to take her life, but she was not as good as they wanted, she wanted to live well!

"Now, this Xu secret guard is dead, but there is one thing I still don't understand." Zong Zhengjin's face suddenly became very indifferent, "I obviously spread the news that we would celebrate the festival in the Princess's Mansion, but why did they still know that we were in the Guixian Garden?" Only the people who attended the banquet knew their real location, but these people were all her cronies, so there was no reason to divulge the truth.

"Sister Huang means that there are spies among us?" Zong Zhengmin couldn't help frowning, who could this spy be?

"If not, then I don't know why something went wrong." Zong Zhengjin's tone was very low, among these people, no matter who was a spy, it would make her heart ache.

"Then I'll look it up." Tang Yi immediately suggested that if there was really a spy, it must be found out as soon as possible.

Zong Zhengjin was about to nod, but someone outside suddenly spread that Fang Yue was sinking. "Let her in." Zong Zhengjin frowned slightly, shouldn't Fang Yueshen be taking care of Mrs. Fang's funeral at this time? How did they come to her?
