When I returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, the night had crept into the sky. There was still an endless stream of guests coming and going in the house, and the entire mansion was shrouded in gorgeous lights, and there was laughter.

Zhao Yuan quietly returned to his room without informing Mason of them. He sat cross-legged on the bed, but his spiritual power spread out like a tide and invisibly. In fact, if it was not necessary, Zhao Yuan would not use his mental power to spy on others on weekdays, but after he saw the ninth princess of the fox clan today, a trace of bad speculation faintly appeared in his heart, which made him decide to return home early.

Today's house is full of guests, although Mason has been with the second prince to help him socialize, but the second prince's injury is not completely healed, and he has always hated this kind of thing, and a look of impatience naturally appeared between his eyebrows.

Celie accompanied the second prince, served tea and water, and took care of him meticulously, and the second prince had long been used to this, so he didn't pay much attention to Celie, and continued to deal with the guests with Mason.

It continued like this until it was late at night, and the house gradually became clearer. The second prince pinched his eyebrows, and Celie immediately came over to massage his temples. Under Xili's appropriate massage, the second prince showed a relaxed expression, and the two did not communicate much, but they looked extremely harmonious.

Mason cleaned up the papers on the table, and silently exited the study, before leaving, he seemed to have no intention of glancing at Celie, Celie looked at the second prince intently, her eyes were full of silent admiration and tenderness, and she didn't notice Mason's departure at all.

Xili has been serving the second prince to go to bed before leaving, during which she did everything herself, as the most noble woman in the house, but she was willing to do what a maid should do for the second prince, her personality was obviously flamboyant and lively, but in front of the second prince, she was gentle like water, and tried to make herself a virtuous woman, which shows that a heart is completely placed on the second prince.

But it is precisely because of this that Zhao Yuan is worried. Through his mental power, he watched as Celie walked through the garden, the cloister, and back to his boudoir. Zhao Yuan still avoided it when she was freshening up, and just used her mental power to monitor her movements, but until she was ready to go to bed, she didn't find anything abnormal.

Could it be that I guessed wrong? Xi Li was infatuated with the second prince, how could she bear to let him get hurt? Zhao Yuan thought.

Just as he was about to remove the mental power surveillance, Xili felt something from under the pillow, Zhao Yuan swept it casually, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The Quenching Pill that was supposed to be given to Liam and the Second Prince was actually in Xili's hand! Zhao Yuan was a little incredulous, he obviously looked at the pill that Mason had divided with his own eyes, and under the visit of his spiritual power, the three pills were all real, but in the transparent vial in Xili's hand, the red pill was faint with a small circle of light, and the breath was pure and exuded a clear medicinal fragrance, it could never be a fake Quenching Pill!

Celie touched the smooth exterior of the vial, her amber eyes revealing mixed emotions, she uncorked the bottle and poured the small pill into her hand. The glowing red light emitted by the elixir itself reflected Celie's white and flawless skin, revealing an astonishing beauty in the night. Xili frowned slightly, hesitation fluttered in her eyes, and finally she gritted her teeth, her lips opened slightly, and she raised her head to swallow the quenching pill.

Between the lightning and flint, everyone in the Second Prince's Mansion suddenly exploded in their heads, "Stop!", which smashed into everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and immediately caused panic. As soon as Celie's body shook, the Quenching Pill in her hand rolled to the ground, and the second prince and Mason rolled over and jumped up from the bed, putting on a defensive posture and looking around vigilantly.

After Celie found out that the quenching pill had fallen, she hurriedly got out of bed to pick it up, she was only wearing a light purple nightgown, stepping on the velvet stall with her bare feet, and walked towards the cluster of red light that was extremely conspicuous in the darkness. But just as she was about to bend down to pick up the quenching pill, a pair of cloth shoes suddenly appeared in front of her.

Celie's body stiffened suddenly, she slowly raised her head, in the dark, a familiar figure stood in front of her, Celie's face turned white with a brush, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and finally her legs fell to the ground, her breath trembled, and she couldn't say a word.

She watched as the person in front of her bent down and picked up the quenching pill that emitted a seductive light, and then the person looked down at her, and a sigh sounded in her ears.

"Xili, why do you do this?" Zhao Yuan looked down at Xili who was slumped on the ground. From his point of view, he could just see a large patch of white skin and deep furrows exposed in Xili's loose pajamas, but Zhao Yuan's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, only a faint regret and coldness.

"Xili, are you inside?" The voice of the second prince suddenly came from outside the door, Xili's originally dull eyes suddenly trembled, she raised her head suddenly, tears rolled down her cheeks, and her amber eyes looked at Zhao Yuan pleadingly.

Zhao Yuan looked down at her quietly, but finally said indifferently: "Come in, I didn't lock the door." ”

The movement outside the door stopped for two seconds in an instant, and then the door of Celie's boudoir was pushed open with a "squeak", and it was Mason who walked in front, and the second prince stood outside in a daze, and Mason pulled him before he came in.

"Zhao Yuange-" Mason was about to ask what was going on, but suddenly saw the familiar pill in Zhao Yuan's hand, and his face immediately changed. After he was startled by a loud shout in his head, he immediately reacted that it was Zhao Yuan's voice, so he immediately rushed to Zhao Yuan's room, only to find that the building was empty. Then he realized something, and immediately turned his head to Xili's side, and happened to meet the second prince who came out to look at him in a daze, so he took the second prince here together.

As soon as the second prince entered, he saw Celie sitting on the ground, her head buried deep in her chest, her shoulders twitching, obviously crying. And Zhao Yuan stood in front of Xili with an indifferent face, holding a faintly red pill in his palm.

Before he could speak, Mason had already preemptively said, "Celie, what did you do!"

The second prince was stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened, and looked at Xili in disbelief.

As soon as Xi Li raised her head, she happened to meet the shocked eyes of the second prince, and her tears suddenly flowed even more fiercely. She sobbed and said intermittently, "I was wrong, I'm sorry...... Second Highness...... Sorry ......"

Zhao Yuan had already figured out the key at this time: "Xili, you are looking for someone to assassinate the second prince, just so that he is injured and cannot take the Quenching Pill immediately, and then you can replace it and take it yourself." His tone was so categorical and unrelenting.

Celie was crying, her hands on her cheeks, her face full of tears, her hair disheveled, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Celie...... Why are you doing this?" the second prince said softly, his voice trembling with a hint of it, completely unable to accept such a betrayal from his sister who had been raised since childhood.

Celie suddenly cried louder, she almost breathlessly said: "I, I'm afraid that you will marry that fox princess, I, I am useless, how can I be worthy of you, only by becoming a berserker can I be qualified to become a princess......"

When Mason heard this, he was immediately furious: "Woman's opinion! You have become a berserker and the second highness has become a berserker are completely two different concepts, if the second highness becomes a berserker, the lion throne will be within reach, you have become a berserker, what is the use of raising your own value? Why are you so selfish and disregard the overall situation!"

In the face of Mason's scolding, Celie shouted hoarsely: "Why can't I? I can fight for the Second Highness, I can charge into battle, I can spare my life for the sake of the Second Highness, what is the difference between me becoming a berserker and the Second Highness becoming a berserker!"

After screaming and venting, Celie choked up again: "You always think I'm useless, but in fact, I practice seriously every day, but because I'm not a genius like Liam, you don't notice my efforts." That fox princess is just a lucky bloodline awakener, she is not as good as me at all, and she doesn't love the Second Highness as much as I do, why can she justifiably marry the Second Highness. After speaking, Celie bit her lower lip fiercely, as if she had swallowed all the grief and indignation and heartache alive, she closed her eyes and remained motionless, as if she was only waiting for the judgment of the second prince.

The second prince had a moving look on his face, his lips trembled, but he didn't spit out a word. Neither Zhao Yuan nor Mason spoke, quietly waiting for his choice.

Slowly, the second prince walked up to Celie, he bent down and slowly hugged Cely into his arms. Xili trembled, and heard the second prince's deep voice ringing in her ears: "Xili, I won't marry the fox princess, the person I love is you." ”

Celie opened her eyes suddenly, and the water in her amber eyes flashed, and in an instant, she burst into an astonishing light, as if the stars were reflected in it. She stretched out her arms and hugged the solid body of the second prince tightly, lay on the shoulders of the second prince, and cried out loudly again, but this time, her cry was no longer a desperate cry, but a cry full of joy and grievances, completely released.

Zhao Yuan looked at the two people hugging each other in front of him, and somehow remembered the green-haired and silver-eyed girl in his heart. She rarely cried in front of him, and always smiled shyly and brightly. When she said goodbye, she looked as usual, and smiled goodbye to him, but the moment he turned around, her mental power still truthfully relayed to him the tears that crossed the girl's cheeks. For a moment he wavered and wanted to stay, but in the end he resolutely left, leaving the lonely girl alone to support the fate of a race.

Zhao Yuan's eyes dimmed, and in the end, he just sighed softly, handed the Quenching Pill to Mason who was standing aside, and turned around and left silently.
