Chu Mohan stopped his horse and glanced back.

Chu Wanxiang tightened the reins and stopped, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Father." She approached the man in black and crouched down, reaching out to probe his snort.

Chu Mohan frowned: "He's dead."

Chu Wanxiang nodded: "It should have been poisoned."

"Who are these people?" Chu Mohan asked in a deep voice.

Chu Wanxiang shook his head: "I don't know." She carefully examined the body of the man in black, and found no antidote, so she ordered the guards to dispose of the body.

Chu Mohan said, "This assassination of my father, the target is you, you have to be more careful."

"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang nodded, "But I'll pay attention too, don't worry."

Chu Mohan hugged Chu Wanxiang: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

"Hmm......" Chu Wanxiang leaned into his arms, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, and his heart was sweet and happy, "Mo Han, you hold me tight."

「……」

Chu Mohan was helpless, but he still hugged Chu Wanxiang tightly, for fear that she would fall.

"His Royal Highness, Princess, you are back."

Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang entered the living room and saw the maids and maids surrounding Zhou's mother. Zhou's mother had a colorful face, her clothes were torn, and her hair was scattered, and she had obviously experienced a vicious fight.

"What's going on?" Chu Wanxiang frowned and asked.

The maid replied, "After the prince came back, Mama Zhou said that you had a quarrel with the prince, and you ran out of the house. The slaves and maids were terrified and hurriedly looked for you. Shizi Ye and Mama Zhou both thought you were ...... Later, the prince found you, but you refused to go home, so the prince had to accompany you back."

Chu Wanxiang was stunned, no wonder she didn't find Mother Zhou. She turned around to find Chu Mohan and saw him standing in the courtyard discussing things with a group of secret guards.

Chu Wanxiang walked over and called softly, "Mo Han."

Chu Mohan turned around, saw her anxious face, and gently rubbed her head: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just worried about you."

"I'm fine." Chu Mohan smiled lightly, "You go back to the house first, and I'll talk to them a few more words."

Chu Wanxiang obediently responded and went back to the house. She lay down on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All kinds of images flashed in her mind, and the figure of the man in black appeared over and over again, which made her heart palpitate.

Chu Mohan returned to the house and saw the people on the couch with wide eyes and a worried look.

Chu Mohan took off his boots and went to bed, lifted the quilt, and hugged her: "Why don't you sleep yet?"

Chu Wanxiang leaned on his chest, closed his eyes and said, "Mo Han, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"You don't believe me?"

Chu Wanxiang slowly shook his head: "No. I believe it." She suddenly thought of something, broke free from Chu Mohan's arms, sat up, and looked at Chu Mohan, "Mohan, do you know who killed Mother Zhou?"

Chu Mohan was stunned, lowered his eyes slightly, and was silent.

"I want to know the truth." Chu Wanxiang said.

"I'll tell you slowly when we get back to Beijing." Chu Mohan pondered for a moment, and his deep voice revealed that his heart had not calmed down.

Chu Wanxiang nodded.

Chu Mohan stroked her cheek and said softly, "Sleep, don't think nonsense."

Chu Wanxiang snuggled up to him and closed his eyes. She was indeed a little tired and drowsy. Chu Mohan patted her on the back and coaxed her to sleep. Chu Wanxiang thought in a daze, if only she could live so peacefully with him all the time.

However, the dream soon woke up. Chu Wanxiang opened her eyes, and it was dawn.

She looked at the bright sunlight outside and sighed, "I couldn't sleep all night." She sat up, "What about Mo Han?"

"The prince just went out to run errands." The maid replied.

Chu Wanxiang put on her clothes and looked out the window: "It's dawn, I should leave too." She packed herself and got ready to head out with her baggage.

The maid stopped her: "Princess, you haven't had breakfast yet."

"I'm not hungry."

"But you were frightened last night." The maid persuaded bitterly, "The princess, please eat."

"I'm not hungry." Chu Wanxiang insisted.

"Princess, don't embarrass the slaves." The maid begged.

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and thought about it, let's eat.

After breakfast, she took the maid and maid to greet the concubine. The concubine had already had breakfast, and was chanting and praying in the Buddhist hall at this time, when she heard that Chu Wanxiang was coming, she immediately announced her in.

Chu Wanxiang knelt on the futon and kowtowed to the concubine.

"Get up." The concubine smiled kindly and motioned for Chu Wanxiang to sit next to her.

"Thank you, Concubine Niang, for giving me a seat." Chu Wanxiang got up and sat down, dignified and elegant.

The concubine looked at Chu Wanxiang appreciatively for a while, and said, "You have won the championship this year, and you have also reached the age of choosing a horse. Your parents are gone, and the mourning family will work for you, are you willing?"

Chu Wanxiang chuckled in her heart, and her face stiffened: "The concubine Xie Taifei Niangniang's grace, the concubine is unwilling."

The concubine's smile gradually faded, stared at Chu Wanxiang, and asked majestically, "You don't want to?"

"Yes, the concubine is unwilling." Chu Wanxiang gritted her teeth and replied.

"Why?" The concubine asked coldly, "You don't look down on the royal nobles?"

"The concubine has misunderstood, how dare the concubine look down on the royal nobles, the concubine is unwilling to marry!"

"You don't want to marry Han'er?"

"Yes." Chu Wanxiang said frankly, "Although the concubine and the prince are combined, they are tired of each other, if they are forced together, it will not only harm him, but also harm himself, and even harm the child, please think twice."

"Ridiculous! How long have you been married, and then you dislike Han'er?" The concubine was furious.

"The concubine is not disgusted with the prince, the concubine ......"

"That's it, since your heart has been broken, the mourning family is too lazy to force you." The concubine said, "You don't want to get married. Go back and rest."

"The concubine retired." Chu Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated. She looked up at the sky, and her heart was surging, and she forgot to give a gift for a while.

Back in the bedroom, Chu Wanxiang finished washing, changed her clothes, and was about to ask the pothos to dress up, when Chu Mohan pushed the door in, carrying a box in his hand. Chu Wanxiang looked at him in surprise, and he handed her the box: "Don't you like this set of jewelry? Put it on for you."

Chu Wanxiang took it, opened the wooden box, and found that it was a delicate jade necklace. She picked it up and looked left and right, exclaiming, "It's beautiful."

"If you like it."

"Thank you." Chu Wanxiang pulled his sleeve and looked up at him, "Can you tell me why you suddenly want to buy me jewelry?"

Chu Mohan touched her head and said with a smile, "Because I love you."

Chu Wanxiang was stunned, and then smiled: "Well, I love you too."

"You go and get your makeup up, and then try again."

Chu Wanxiang put down her jewelry, and was served by the maid to make up, and her beautiful and gentle appearance was reflected in the mirror.

She reached out and touched herself in the mirror and muttered, "You look so much like me, so beautiful."

She couldn't help but think of herself in her previous life, when she was already a national beauty, and she was glamorous, no matter where she stood, she would definitely attract everyone's attention. It's a pity that she was too proud at that time and didn't know how to cherish it at all.

In this life, she doesn't want to miss it again, and she is not willing to miss it.

The maid drew her eyebrows and said, "The slave and maid see that the princess is much more beautiful than before." c

Chu Wanxiang: "Wasn't I beautiful enough before?"
