She suddenly realized how childish it was for her to stay stuck in the house for more than ten days.

Her brother didn't know why she had been staying in the house for so many days, but he thought she was in a bad mood looking at the broken whip, so he went to the blacksmith shop for two whole days and made a new whip for herself, just hoping that he could cheer up again.

But she didn't take her brother's sincerity into consideration at all, and even yelled at him.

She deserves to die!

Guilt flooded her heart, and she timidly called out, "Brother!"

Hearing Chu Yunni's words, Chu Yanzhi paused in his tracks. Without even turning his head, he said, "The things I give you are yours. If you don't like them, just take them out and throw them away."

"But I'll tell you one thing in advance, none of the children in our Chu family would be depressed by these material possessions."

"You are a girl. Although you have been strong since childhood, I cannot hold you to the same standard as a man. I allow you to be sad for a while because your beloved things are broken, but I cannot allow you to be sad for the rest of your life."

"If something is gone, it's gone. You will get something better in the future. After crying and making a fuss today, you must cheer up. You must go to the palace to take up your post tomorrow. You must not let the Queen leave a bad impression on you. This is crucial to whether you can enter the East Palace and become the Crown Princess in the future."

Chu Yanzhi broke down the pros and cons of the matter and told it to Chu Yunni.

Her appointment to the palace, from a small perspective, was related to the Queen Mother's first impression of Chu Yunni. From a big perspective, it was related to the future of the entire Chu family, and absolutely no mistake was allowed.

"I don't know why you are so depressed now, but you must cheer up tomorrow." Chu Yanzhi turned around and stared into Chu Yunni's eyes, saying seriously.

For what?

Of course, she didn't want to lock herself up in the house for more than ten days just for a broken whip.

She felt regretful and depressed because her love was strangled in the cradle before it even sprouted.

But what’s the point of her locking herself in the house for more than ten days?

Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince care about her?

No, he has no idea why he has become like this. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. He only cares about Nan Yuan.

She saw with her own eyes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kissing Nan Yuan in the alley, and saw with her own eyes how affectionate they were.

Even when Nan Yuan said she wanted to break up with him, he still begged for mercy and even lost all his bottom line for Nan Yuan. He was totally not the high and mighty Crown Prince that she knew.

"Brother, I've made up my mind. I won't go to the palace tomorrow. I'll go to the palace this afternoon. Going there a day earlier may leave a better impression on the Queen. I haven't been there for so many days. I'm sure the Queen has some opinions about me."

She couldn't be depressed any longer, she hadn't lost yet.

Didn't Nan Yuan already sever her ties with the Crown Prince? If she didn't want the Crown Prince, then Chu Yunni would!

But since Nan Yuan had already let go, there was no way she would give Nan Yuan any chance to regret.

As long as Nan Yuan is alive, she will be a variable. Who knows, she might rekindle her old relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince one day. Only the dead are the most reliable.

"How did you suddenly figure it out?" Chu Yanzhi was a little surprised by Chu Yunni's sudden change.

He thought that no matter what, Chu Yunni would not be able to figure things out and cheer up again until tomorrow.

He didn't expect that Chu Yunni had already come to terms with it as soon as he said it. If he had known, he would have come down and said it earlier. Why would it take so long?

"It would be great if you can come to your senses! This afternoon, right? I'm going to the palace this afternoon too, so I can take you in on the way."

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Yunni changed her clothes and went to the palace with Chu Yanzhi.

On the way, Chu Yanzhi couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Why did you become like that during this period of time?"

He thought to himself that his sister was definitely not the kind of person who would become decadent just because of a broken whip.

There must be other reasons.

The eldest brother is like a father. Since their father is not in the capital, he has to take on the responsibility of protecting his younger sister.

Especially those elements that may make Chu Yunni unhappy must be eliminated, and she must not be allowed to behave as decadently as she has during this period.

Chu Yunni looked up at Chu Yanzhi, only to see his concerned expression. She was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I don't like the woman I met that day."

That day?

Chu Yanzhi thought about it again and again, and suddenly remembered the girl who had a conflict with Chu Yunni in Linlangzhai, and asked hurriedly.

Chu Yunni nodded: "Yes, it's her. She destroyed my whip and made me lose such a big person. I hate her."

Listening to Chu Yunni's words, Chu Yanzhi hesitated: "But this is the capital after all, not outside the Great Wall. This is not our territory. We..."

"But I hate her and I don't want to see her in my life."

Chu Yanzhi was silent for a while, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will find a chance to get rid of her, and I will never let her appear in front of you again."

"Brother, I knew you were the best to me." When Chu Yunni heard that Chu Yanzhi was willing to vent his anger for her, she immediately smiled and took Chu Yanzhi's arm.

Chu Yanzhi looked at Chu Yunni's smiling face, in a trance. His hand gently covered Chu Yunni's hand on his shoulder, and he murmured in a low voice: "Yunni, we are brother and sister. We prosper together and suffer together. If you don't like someone, I don't like it either."

As they were talking, the carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

Driving and carrying swords are not allowed in the imperial city. The Chu brothers and sisters went through numerous inspections before they were able to enter the imperial city smoothly.

As soon as Chu Yunni arrived at the queen's bedroom, she heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

She frowned and walked in respectfully according to etiquette.

At a glance, he saw that there was not only the Queen and some servants in the bedroom, but also a young man.

She didn't know him, but she had met him once. He seemed to be someone close to the Crown Prince.

Chu Yunni was a little reserved, but the Queen was still very approachable. When she saw her coming, she simply greeted her and asked her to stand aside and serve while she continued talking to Shen Zhaixing.

"Later, we went in and examined it carefully and discovered the secret."

"There is no such thing as love without reason in this world. Some love is just a trick. The trick of that weirdo is to hide a lot of poisonous insects on his body. When people are not paying attention, the poisonous insects are driven to sneak into people's skin through the nose, mouth, or some small wounds, and reproduce infinitely, using the poisonous insects to control people's behavior."

Shen Zhaixing explained to the Queen what had happened in the past few days and said carefully, "But don't worry, Queen, we have already dealt with those poisonous insects, and they will definitely not spread out and hurt innocent people."

"And the most taboo thing in the palace is these witchcraft techniques. No one will bring these dirty things into the palace."

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard about these witchcraft techniques. In her early years, she was forced to compete for favor with others. One of the concubines used these witchcraft techniques to frame her and she almost lost her life.

From then on, not only the Queen Mother, but also His Majesty strictly prohibited the occurrence of similar witchcraft in the palace. Violators would be severely punished.

"Hey, why are we talking about this? Let's talk about you. Have you angered the Prime Minister again during this period of time?"

"How could that be? Am I such a disobedient person?"

The Queen gave him a sidelong glance and said, "If your father hadn't been angry, would you have hidden in the palace to accompany me?"

The Queen Mother and Shen Zhaixing continued to talk, while Chu Yunni, who was standing aside, had an idea.

Witchcraft?

It seems that today is the day when the ladies of the imperial court enter the palace to pay homage to the Empress. Nan Yuan... will come too, right?

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Yunni's eyes.
