Bai Hewang looked at the men in black who had surrounded them, and pulled out a soft sword wrapped around his waist with a cold expression.

"Protect the Emperor!"

After he finished speaking, he rode out of the encirclement of the guards and confronted the man in black head-on.

The guards held weapons and wrapped the emperor in three layers inside and outside.

Zhenyue leaned against the emperor, suppressed her inner fear, and trembled as she stroked the emperor, "Father——"

The emperor shook his head at her and looked around.

Bai Hewang is an extraordinary warrior, and he can easily fight ten people alone, but his opponent has a large number of people and some of them throw hidden weapons unexpectedly.

Several guards on the emperor's side fell one after another, and the encirclement was tightened again and again.

"Oh no!" Bai Hewang caught several shiny hidden weapons with his bare hands, and suddenly realized the enemy's trick and thought to himself that it was not good.

He looked up and saw a hideous hidden weapon flying straight towards the emperor's face. The emperor's eyes tightened and he immediately turned his head.

It was this action that exposed the danger behind him.

Zhenyue discovered it, but without time to remind anyone, she simply stood behind the emperor.

At the same time, a feather arrow came through the wind at the speed of thunder, and it changed the trajectory of the hidden weapon flying in the air.

Zhenyue's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise, "It's my second brother!"

The emperor also showed some relief on his face, "Zhan is here..."

The prince held a silver bow and never missed his target.

After shooting all the arrows, he simply threw away the silver bow and caught a green rapier that flew from nowhere.

The sword was as thin as a cicada's wing, but it could cut hair like mud, and it shone with a cold light.

The prince rode his horse into the encirclement, threw the people behind him in, then tapped the horse's back with his toes and landed outside the encirclement, facing back to back with the imperial teacher.

"Jiayue, you?" Zhenyue gave her a complicated look, and Chen Jia stared at her.

The emperor stared at the prince, and Zhenyue stared at the imperial preceptor.

Chen Jia also stared at the prince. When the prince arrived, he had already thrown off the huge banner he was wearing, and was only wearing a simple black outfit, which made it convenient for him to perform punches and kicks.

The Imperial Master had a compassionate look on his face when he was chopping people.

If he wasn't killing anyone, looking at his expression, he looked like he was performing a ritual of salvation.

The prince chopped people like cutting melons without blinking an eye.

He is good at killing people with one sword, letting the splatter of blood scatter in the air and spread out like fallen plum blossoms on the snow.

In terms of the number of harvesters, both sides are currently tied.

The prince wiped the blood off his cheek with his sleeve. His long eyelashes trembled, a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes, and he silently increased the speed of harvesting.

When the two powerful forces join forces, no matter how many men in black there are, they will be delivered to your doorstep.

The man in black was outnumbered and hesitated for a few seconds before retreating.

The prince made a hand gesture, and dozens of dark shadows chased after him on the wind.

Zhenyue and Jiayue supported the relaxed emperor and came over. "Thank you for your hard work this time, Crown Prince. We must investigate this incident thoroughly and will not tolerate any leniency!"

"Father, I will get to the bottom of this matter." The prince was confident and accepted the order calmly.

The Imperial Master was dressed in a white robe, not stained with a speck of dust, just like this man, with a pure heart that could not tolerate any romantic feelings.

Zhenyue gazed at the Imperial Master sadly, but he never responded to her gaze.

Instead, he cast an inquiring look at Chen Jia.

The prince stepped forward and blocked the imperial teacher's gaze.

The national teacher was now confused.

He couldn't help but look at the prince, and also wanted to look at Princess Jiayue who was blocked by the prince. Countless question marks seemed to flash through his head.

Why is the bond between these two so deep?

The Imperial Master decided to observe for a while longer and was kindly asked to leave by the Prince.

The reason is that the princess is noble and should not be treated lightly.

Ah this——

The national teacher was puzzled.

He is a cultivator, how could he look down on the princess?

There was no danger tonight, and Chen Jia's pounding heart could finally rest well.

"Your Highness, the prince has ordered someone to send us some calming incense..." Biluo lit the calming incense and closed the lid of the incense burner. Wisps of smoke floated out of the hollow incense burner.

"If you use this, you won't be frightened at night." Biluo tucked the quilt for the princess and added softly.

Chen Jia closed her eyes sleepily, her voice barely audible, "I understand..."

Late at night, the prince stroked the delicate aromatherapy ball hanging around his waist, "Is he asleep?"

The secret guard behind him knelt on one knee and lowered his head silently.

"Let's go."

The prince walked out of the tent leisurely. Chang Fu and Xiao Linzi, who were guarding outside the tent, followed him.

……

It was daybreak when the prince walked out of the airtight cage. This makeshift cage was guarded by top-notch masters from the palace and was half an hour's journey from the camp.

The prince presented the evidence to the emperor at full speed, refusing to say how he had been tortured to extract a confession.

Only the two fathers-in-law, who suffered a terrible night of torture, will never forget it.

Chen Jia was completely unaware of the ups and downs in the palace. Even if a few people were missing from the harem or the court, she would not be able to detect.

Women in the harem have no access to information and are so isolated from it.

The day after the assassination, the emperor broke camp and returned to the palace, no longer lingering on the free and easy world outside the palace.

Chen Jia only felt that the atmosphere in the palace was solemn. There were more groups of patrolling guards, and the patrols were more frequent.

Prince, you haven’t been seen often lately.

Every time I went to his palace, I would come back empty-handed one time out of three.

Chen Jia could only rely on her daily homework to pass the time, and her teachers all praised her for being teachable.

Chen Jia’s chess skills were average, so she stopped learning this subject and started to learn dance with Ruoyue.

"Jiayue, pleasing yourself is fine, but pleasing others is a bad idea."

The queen gave her this advice before she started learning to dance.

Chen Jia didn't care, she was just killing time.

A major event happened a few years ago. The emperor sent the imperial teacher to Yi County to control the flood.

Zhenyue disguised herself and followed secretly.

Jiayue was able to discover it, but it was the system that reminded her.

It seems that even without Princess Jiayue, it is still not easy for the hero and heroine to achieve a happy ending.

As the New Year is approaching, the palace is decorated with lights and red lanterns and couplets hung everywhere. Red ropes with good meanings are decorated under the lanterns, adding a bit of joy.

Chen Jia opened her private storehouse, selected jade articles, and made the thread. She sent out the emperor, the empress, Zhenyue, Ruoyue, and Ruyue.

Only the prince's, I want to give it to him personally.

I didn't have time to give this gift until after the New Year's Eve dinner.

Prince, why are you so elusive?

Late at night, the prince appeared and disappeared again.

Chen Jia was woken up by someone. She hugged him in a daze, her head leaning against his neck, mumbling: "Is it too late?"

He chuckled, tapped the roof with his toes, and leaped several meters high.

Soon, he brought his men to the Observatory.

The Observatory is the highest and most remote place in the Gonghuang Palace, and is usually where the imperial preceptor works.

The prince did not walk up the stairs, but stepped on the eaves and reached the top floor in a few minutes.

The north wind was blowing fiercely. Chen Jia clung to the man and tilted his head slightly to look at his feet.

It was pitch black as if some giant beast was lurking in the darkness, waiting to devour people.

Chen Jia quickly retracted her head, got into his embrace, and hugged him tightly, "Brother Crown Prince, long time no see..."

The prince pushed her and said, "Jiayue, look up!"

Chen Jia looked up as he was told, and countless sky lanterns rose from the darkness, lighting up the sky before her.

The prince pointed to a Kongming lantern in the corner and said, "Jiayue, write what you want to say, and then you can release it."

Chen Jia looked at the large Kongming lantern and suddenly asked, "Brother Crown Prince, shall we go together?"

The prince said nothing, walked to the side of the Kongming lantern, and wrote two lines of words.

Chen Jia wanted to go over and take a look, but the prince raised his eyes and smiled, "Do you really want to see it?"

She quickly shook her head and wrote down what she wanted to say neatly. If it really worked, she hoped: the country would be safe, her family would be healthy; the prince would get what he wanted; and she would be free and far away.
