Sheng Yunzhao felt guilty for stealing something from him. Sheng Yunzhao's eyes were very insightful, as if they could see into her bones.

Sheng Yunzhao knew very well that Yue Chenyan was a man she couldn't afford to offend, which was why she didn't want him to know that the person last night was her.

She will not be involved with him until the end.

Sheng Yunzhao's heart was beating like a drum, beating wildly, and the blood on his face faded instantly.

After only being stunned for a moment, Sheng Yunzhao covered his face and ran away almost out of inertia.

Yue Chenyan originally withdrew his gaze, but at this moment, a vague orchid fragrance floated from the tip of his nose.

He looked over again, and saw that figure was thin and slender, looking like he was running away in panic.

Inexplicably, there is an instant overlap with the figure who escaped last night...

In just a moment, he denied it, it would definitely not be her!

Yue Chenyan pursed his lips slightly and said a rare word of gossip, "It seems that the rumors outside are wrong. Jin Yu and his wife have a very deep relationship."

"Brother Zichen, please stop teasing me," Ji Xuan's embarrassed face heated up, and he said sarcastically: "If this is the case, in the eyes of brother Zichen, it's better to forget it if the relationship is good.

I still want to live for a few more years, but I really can’t bear her hatred because of love..."

The pain in his calf subsided a little, and Ji Xuan thought of Sheng Yunzhao's aggressive appearance at his grandmother's place just now.

He shook his head, and when his good brother caught him, he simply said bitterly: "That woman is the best at pretending. Her true colors have been revealed in just two years. She is not as lovable as before."

When Yue Chenyan first heard that it was inappropriate for him to ridicule his wife in such a way, he couldn't help but said: "So lively and straightforward..."

He felt that Ji Xuan was a little overwhelmed with blessings.

However, this was a boudoir matter between husband and wife, and it was inappropriate for him to talk too much. Yue Chenyan stopped talking mid-sentence.

He and Ji Xuan were as close as brothers, so he knew the inside story.

As a brother, I still have to say something, "Now that the deal is done and two years have passed, Jin Yu should look forward and cherish the present."

Ji Xuan, however, did not want to talk more about Sheng Yunzhao and interrupted: "Zi Chen came here so early, but there is something important?"

If it weren't for something urgent, Yue Chenyan would never have come so early, and even in person.

Yue Chenyan was about to speak when suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly. For a moment, his expression remained as indifferent as usual, "I suddenly remembered something important. Let's take a step first."

Ji Xuan caught up with him in a hurry and saw that his face turned pale and he was sweating. It seemed that things were really urgent.

He couldn't help but said: "If there is anything I can do to help, Zichen just ask..."

"Thank you..." Yue Chenyan pursed his lips, "I accidentally lost my jade pendant when we were drinking wine last night, so I came over to see if anyone had picked it up..."

Ji Xuan's expression immediately changed, "Is it the jade pendant passed down from your family?"

Yue Chenyan nodded, "Exactly."

Ji Xuan knew that the jade pendant had different meanings to Yue Chen Yan, so he immediately said: "Then I will ask the housekeeper to search carefully and send it to your house after I find it."

"Okay, you don't have to give it away." Yue Chenyan said, nodded to Ji Xuan, and strode out of Duke Ji's mansion.

He came in a carriage, and the carriage and his confidants were guarding the carriage.

As soon as Yue Chenyan got into the carriage, he ordered in a low voice: "Go back home."

The confidant had been with him for a long time and had already formed a tacit understanding. He immediately turned his horse around and turned the car around with a calm expression.

It wasn't until I left Ji Guogong's mansion that I felt some distance away.

Yue Chenyan made a pop sound, and a mouthful of dark purple blood spurted out, landing on the snow-white satin cushion, which was shocking.

His breath was short, and he felt as if his internal organs were shifting and cramping. The veins on his forehead bulged high, looking twisted and ferocious.

Yue Chenyan's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He couldn't restrain himself any longer and fell onto the car and huddled himself into a ball.

Those deep eyes seemed to be filled with ice and snow, filled with a biting coldness.

Yue Chenyan clenched his teeth, his whole body tensed like a bowstring, and cold sweat quickly soaked his clothes.

In just a moment, the whole person felt as if he had been fished out of the water.

With trembling hands, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and took several times to remove the cork.

The movement was too big, and the red pills in the porcelain bottle were scattered everywhere. He finally picked it up and swallowed it.

The effect of the medicine took effect very quickly, and he was so exhausted that he lost all his strength.

The carriage stopped, and it was already the main courtyard of Huainan Prince's Mansion. His confidant Feng Chen stood outside the carriage window and asked in a worried voice: "Your Majesty, but..."

He looked around evasively, and when he saw no one around, he asked softly: "Do you want to call the government doctor?"

After a while, Yue Chenyan's low and hoarse voice came from the car, "No need...you have people pay attention to the movements in Duke Ji's mansion. If Ji Xuan finds the jade pendant, ask who picked it up..."

The person who picked up his jade pendant may be the maid last night.

Whether it was an accident or a calculation, I believe we will find out soon.

The poison caused by traditional Chinese medicine last night recurred, and he thought it had been suppressed, but it came back with a vengeance today.

Feng Chen was deeply suspicious. The prince's jade pendant, which was passed down from his family, never left his body and was never lost. After attending Mrs. Ji Guogong's birthday party last night, the jade pendant disappeared unexpectedly.

But the prince didn't say how he lost it, and he didn't dare to say anything.

……

Here, Sheng Yunzhao ran back to his room in one breath and sat on the couch, his breathing still a little short and unsteady.

She pressed her heart with lingering fear. She never expected to bump into Yue Chenyan so soon.

It was so caught off guard that she was completely unprepared.

A glance at a corner reveals the whole picture. This person has a keen mind, insight into people's hearts, and strong self-control.

If there is anyone in the world who understands this person, she is barely one of them.

In her previous life, although she lived in seclusion, she still had to be a puppet on strings when necessary.

You can always hear something about him intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if she deliberately avoided Yue Chenyan, she didn't know if it was a coincidence or something, but she would always meet him occasionally.

Especially the way he looked at her looked predatory, as if he had seen through her heart.

Every time they met, it made her uneasy for a long time.

So much so that her hurried behavior today was an instinct formed in her previous life.

"Huh, Master, why are you running so fast..." Yun Niang rushed in, pinched her thick waist, and panted like an ox.

Sheng Yunzhao retracted his thoughts and was about to find an excuse to excuse himself.

But Yun Niang looks simple and honest on the outside, but in fact she is a thoughtful person, thinking about what happened when she went to see Mrs. Ji this morning to pay her respects.

She realized that her master had changed and was wrong, which made her think about it. She tried: "Is it because the master saw King Huainan?"

Thinking of the identity of King Huainan, Yun Niang became worried, "Master, you can't marry him until you marry into the Duke's palace. Even if you reconcile with the prince, it's even more impossible..."

Sheng Yunzhao was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and he shouted, "Shut up!"

Seeing Sheng Yunzhao wink at her, Yun Niang suddenly turned her head and saw a tiptoeing figure approaching, and she was immediately startled.
