"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Qin Li asked in a low voice.

Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "It's nothing."

But... Chu Huanyan was followed by a tail.

In Wangbai Tower, Chu Huanyan asked Xian Yue to place the gift she brought on the table beside her.

It was a whole box of luminous pearls, with twelve in total. Each one was of the same size and exuded a warm luster.

"Miss Chu is quite generous this time." Xiao Jinzhi glanced at the night pearls. This box is really worth a lot of money, "I just don't know what Miss Chu means by sending this night pearls?"

Chu Huanyan glanced at Xian Yue, who immediately retreated outside the private room.

Xiao Jinzhi also waved his hand, and Qin Li also retreated.

"Your Highness, this is a thank you gift for what happened yesterday."

"Is it just a thank you gift?" Xiao Jinzhi asked.

Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "There were too many things that happened yesterday, and I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say some things, so I took the liberty to invite Your Highness to come here today and want to talk about yesterday's events again."

Xiao Jinzhi's heart suddenly beat two beats faster. Could it be that Qin Li really got it right?

Yesterday, Chu Huanyan was just nervous and shy for a moment, so she rashly said that she didn't have to take responsibility. In fact, in her heart, she still cares about what happened yesterday, and even wants to take responsibility for herself?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinzhi straightened her back involuntarily, "Miss Chu, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

"Yesterday's boat painting incident..." Chu Huanyan lowered her voice, "I wonder if His Highness is still concerned and blaming?"

Although Xiao Jinzhi was known to be a playboy among the flowers, it didn't mean that he was willing to be scorned by a woman. It would be better to double-check.

Seeing Chu Huanyan's cautious look, Xiao Jinzhi's smile became gentler, "Don't worry, Miss Chu, I'm definitely not angry because of what happened yesterday."

After all, he took advantage of Chu Huanyan and asked a girl from the other party to ask if he was angry. Now that he thinks about it, he really shouldn't have. He should have taken the initiative to have a good chat with Chu Huanyan yesterday!

"Is what your Highness said true?" Chu Huanyan asked again.

"Of course." Xiao Jinzhi nodded, "What happened yesterday, after all, Miss Chu was also plotted and she was the victim. How could I blame Miss Chu."

"That's great. Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Huanyan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides apologizing, does Miss Chu have anything else to do?" Xiao Jinzhi asked tentatively.

"Yes." Chu Huanyan nodded, "It's just..."

"It's okay to say it, Miss Chu." Xiao Jinzhi's tone contained a hint of unexplained expectation that even he himself couldn't explain.

Chu Huanyan raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Jinzhi. Why did she think that Xiao Jinzhi knew what she was going to say and couldn't wait for her to speak?

Meeting Chu Huanyan's confused gaze, Xiao Jinzhi coughed twice and looked away.

Was he being too obvious?

However, Chu Huanyan is a woman after all. Isn't it inappropriate to ask her to say that she hopes she will be responsible for her first?

As a man, it seems that he should take the initiative to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Jinzhi spoke.

"As long as Miss Chu is willing to take responsibility alone."

At the same time, Chu Huanyan also spoke.

"Your Highness, can you help me arrest someone?"

"what?"

"what?"

Both of them were stunned.

Chu Huanyan looked at the other party in confusion, responsible? Responsible for what?

Xiao Jin was stunned, arresting someone? Catch whom?

Didn't Chu Huanyan come here today to make herself responsible?

"Your Highness, what did you mean by being responsible just now?" Chu Huanyan asked in confusion.

Seeing Chu Huanyan's confused expression, Xiao Jinzhi's heart seemed to be blocked by something.

Therefore, when Chu Huanyan invited herself over today, it was actually because she had something else to ask for. It was not for any reason at all to make her responsible. It was not like what Qin Li said, that she wanted to find opportunities to have more contact with him?

"Your Highness?" Chu Huanyan called again.

Why did Xiao Jinzhi's face suddenly become so ugly?

Xiao Jinzhi came back to his senses and looked at the person in front of him, "Gu... Gu means that since I have accepted Miss Chu's gift, I will be responsible and let the guards who knew about it yesterday keep it a secret and will never spread it. go out."

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi strangely. Why did she feel like she was gritting her teeth when she said this?

However, she didn't ask any more questions, but smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Your Highness. With His Highness's words, I feel relieved."

Seeing Chu Huanyan's unsuspicious smile, Xiao Jinzhi could tell that the other party didn't think about holding him responsible at all.

For a moment, the whole person felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He wanted to get up and leave, but looking at Chu Huanyan's waiting look, he still said, "Miss Chu just said that she hoped Gu could help arrest someone?"

Chu Huanyan's eyes brightened slightly. Looking at Xiao Jinzhi's face just now, she thought he would just walk away.

Without delay, she said: "My fiancé, Lin Zeyuan."

Xiao Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, then became interested, "Although the incident in the past two days caused a lot of fuss, Miss Chu probably wouldn't expect to arrest the person alone."

"Your Highness can rest assured, there will be a justifiable reason by then." Chu Huanyan said with a smile.

Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Huanyan.

The person in front of him didn't look like someone who was determined to retaliate. Even if he found out that Lin Zeyuan had an affair with a brothel girl, he always felt that the other party would choose to terminate the engagement rather than continue to be entangled in it.

But the reality is that not only did Chu Huanyan never break off the engagement, but she got involved again and again. Could it be that Lin Zeyuan also did other things?

Facing Xiao Jinzhi's probing gaze, Chu Huanyan said with a smile: "If His Highness is willing to help me with this favor, besides this night pearl, I will have another thing to express my gratitude to after the event is completed."

Being reminded like this, Xiao Jinzhi took another look at those luminous pearls and felt quite unhappy.

He is really very sentimental!

Obviously, he had already been slapped in the face once in the boat, but because of Qin Li's few words, he came up to him again and even started to care about his image in front of Chu Huanyan...

"Your Highness?" Seeing that Xiao Jinzhi hesitated to speak, Chu Huanyan called out tentatively again.

"What if Gu refuses to help?" Xiao Jinzhi asked.

"Then I'll find someone else to find a solution." Chu Huanyan looked calm, without any resentment.

Xiao Jinzhi is a good candidate. She just wants to give it a try today, but if the other party refuses, then she will have to make further plans.

Seeing Chu Huanyan's appearance, Xiao Jinzhi felt choked again.

I have no expectations for myself, so it doesn’t matter whether I agree or not, right?

The words of rejection were on his lips, but when he met Chu Huanyan's eyes, he was a little unable to say anything.

After a while, Xiao Jinzhi finally took a deep breath, curled his lips and smiled, and the previous sense of dissoluteness suddenly resurfaced.

"There is no shortage of Ye Mingzhu in the Crown Prince's house. If Miss Chu really wants help from Gu, she might as well... surrender to Gu!"
