Xiao Zhan put his arm around her waist and held her tightly in his arms: "Xiaoxue, you are mine, forever."

He kissed her lips, as if he wanted to convey his determination to protect her through this kiss.

He knew that what happened today was not her fault. If he had been stronger, she would not have been insulted like this. The real fault was his own.

As for Artek, one day he will pay the price.

After a long time, Xiao Zhan let her go. Jiang Xue snuggled into his arms: "Yun Che, I am yours, forever."

Only when she is with him can she find a moment of peace and forget the disputes outside.

"Do we really want to deal with Artek now?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Need not."

Jiang Xue whispered: "I have a better idea."

"Did he do anything to you today?"

After asking this question, Xiao Zhan felt a little regretful - Artek had treated her like that, how could there be no such thing?

"It's not that I made it difficult, but I didn't let him succeed."

Jiang Xue turned and asked, "Did you get anything when you went out today?"

"got it."

Xiao Zhan took out a porcelain bottle from his clothes and handed it to her: "When I left the Princess's Mansion, someone followed me. Fortunately, Fu Dong arranged some people outside and replaced a secret guard to help me get rid of the follower, so I was able to get it."

Jiang Xue opened the porcelain bottle and took a look, a smile flashed in her eyes: "With this thing, we don't have to worry."

The next morning, Ateli comes to visit.

At that time, Jiang Xue was sitting on the swing, swaying gently in the garden, and the silver bell around her waist made a pleasant sound.

The moment she saw Ateli, Jiang Xue stood up and gave her a frank smile.

The change in Ateli's expression did not escape Jiang Xue's eyes, and a trace of sympathy arose in her heart: Ateli was obviously still feeling ashamed of what happened yesterday.

Jiang Xue understood that since she had chosen this path, she should not hesitate any longer.

However, Ateli's innocence may not last long; in the royal family, no one's destiny is completely in their own control.

"Princess, you are here."

"Little Snow."

Ateli hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out the question in her heart: "I did those things to you, why can you face it so calmly? Without a trace of resentment?"

Jiang Xue asked softly, "If I hold a grudge, will the princess change her mind and let me deal with the second young master?"

Ateli was speechless for a moment. Although she cherished her friendship with Jiang Xue, she valued her brother's safety more. Therefore, her determination would not waver no matter what.

Jiang Xue continued, "I know that the princess has deep feelings for the king, and I also understand that you want to lighten his burden.

Since this is an inevitable fate, why should I worry about it?

Someone once told me that when adversity is inevitable, the best way to deal with it is to accept it with the strongest attitude possible.”

"Did Xiao Zhan teach you?"

This time, Jiang Xue was silent for a moment, because she remembered that these words actually came from her brother Jiang Ke, and it was these words that helped her through many difficult moments.

Ateli thought she agreed and nodded: "It does make sense."

"Princess, you came here today not just to ask about my feelings, right?"

Jiang Xue cleverly changed the subject: "If there is anything important, you can tell me directly."

"I'm here to tell you about Zhu Yiyi. Knowing her may help you in your mission."

Jiang Xue simply responded: "I understand."

Xiao Zhan, who was watching all this from the window, didn't know the specific content of their conversation, but it was obvious that Jiang Xue took the dominant position in this conversation.

Jiang Xiaoan, who was standing next to him, commented in a low voice: "Princess Ateli seemed headstrong and difficult to deal with when we first met, but now she has become much gentler. When the two princesses sit together, it's easy to tell who is better."

Xiao Zhan commented casually: "One is a flower that grows under care, and the other is a cactus that thrives in adversity. They are naturally extraordinary."

Jiang Xiaoan smiled and patted his shoulder: "It seems that you really admire that strong girl."

Xiao Zhan smiled faintly: "Why say more."

Jiang Xiaoan sighed helplessly and admitted that he was indeed a bit straightforward just now.

"Okay, I was wrong. You were praising the one in your heart, okay?"

Whenever the matter of Changle *** was mentioned, this cousin who was always in charge of the overall situation would lose his usual composure.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoan couldn't help but worry for them. If this secret relationship was discovered by his aunt, the consequences would be disastrous.

He resolved to be more careful to keep their secrets in the future.

Jiang Xue and Ateli sat at the stone table in the courtyard. The breeze blew gently, bringing fragrance to the whole yard, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"It's really pleasant to appreciate so many beautiful flowers and smell their various fragrances in this season," Jiang Xue said with emotion.

Ateli grew fonder of her optimism: "How can Xiaoxue always find happiness, even in difficult situations?"

“Life is short and no one can predict what tomorrow will bring, so it’s not a bad thing to cherish every moment worth laughing at.”

Jiang Xue asked, "Your Highness, are Zhu Yiyi and I really that similar?"

"If you just look at your appearance, you are about 80% similar. But after I gave you the 'Blood Soul' flower ornament last night and asked you to wear the silver necklace, the similarity became even higher."

"Such a high degree of similarity is indeed touching. No wonder the Second Young Master had such a reaction last night. However, I don't know what happened between him and Zhu Yiyi?"

"I don't know much about their past. I only know that she is from Qian Country, and she saved my second brother by chance, and then followed him to Southern Xinjiang."

"What happened next?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

"Before she came to southern Xinjiang, she didn't know her second brother's true identity, nor did she know he already had a family. After learning the truth, she was very disappointed and wanted to leave.

However, once my second brother has made up his mind about someone or something, he will not let go easily, so he kept her in his mansion. "

"and then?"

“It is said that she resisted for a while at first, but gradually calmed down after she became pregnant and seemed to want to settle down.

Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. Not long after, she lost her child and asked to leave again. Finally, she set a fire in the dead of night and ended it all.”

Ateli believes that her second brother did something extreme to keep Zhu Yiyi.

Zhu Yiyi may have chosen to end her life out of despair.

"Xiaoxue, my second brother has always been cold and ruthless since he was a child, but Zhu Yiyi is his only gentleness. So as long as you try your best to imitate her, the chances of success are very high."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly. Even if she could imitate Zhu Yiyi, she was not Zhu Yiyi.

And she had no intention of assassinating anyone, so she just needed to be herself and not imitate anyone.
