She had to put on a good show, so last time outside the Zichen Palace, she really bit Xie Lin's arm.

After she stepped back, Xie Lin deliberately lifted up his sleeves to let the people around him see that there was indeed a tooth mark on his arm, making everyone believe that he really wanted to torture Zhou Mochi and the others to death, and that Chu Heyi was really angry with him.

If not for this, Runxue and Dongfang Shuo would not have fallen into the trap.

"I was very careful with my strength at that time, but I still bit you like this." Chu Heyi frowned and rubbed the teeth marks on his arm, feeling very guilty.

"Does it hurt?"

She raised her eyes to look at Xie Lin, her eyes slightly red.

"You didn't bite hard. It was just my own carelessness that left the teeth marks."

Chu Heyi's eyes became redder.

"Last time, in order to save Zhou Mochi and the others, you kept running around, and you knelt for a long time in front of the emperor and said a lot of things. Not only did it damage your health, but you also had to bear the infamy. Now you still want to comfort me." Chu Heyi's tears fell.

People are very strange. When faced with swords and sabers, she can fight back without even thinking of crying. She even becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent.

But when facing Xie Lin, she could never hold back her tears.

Although Zhou Mochen is the prince of Northern Zhou, he is a down-to-earth person in the military camp and has a very good reputation.

After learning that he was a prince of Northern Zhou, the soldiers respected him even more, thinking that he was a Northern Zhou person and was willing to sincerely train soldiers for Da Qi. How selfless he was!

As for Sang Nong, a canal saved millions of people. In the eyes of the people, he was like a god.

However, Xie Lin advocated that they be cut into pieces or executed by slow slicing. In the eyes of the ignorant people, he had already earned the reputation of a traitor.

"Miss Heyi, you don't have to feel indebted or guilty." Xie Lin said hurriedly, "Working for you is also working for me. You said that we are one. If they want to get rid of your people, it means they are getting rid of my people. Between you and me, we are inseparable. I have always known who I am working for."

This was not the first time he saw Chu Heyi cry.

This girl was always strong in front of others, with one clever idea after another, and seemed fearless, but she always seemed particularly vulnerable in front of him.

The first time I saw him, I couldn't stop crying.

Now seeing that there are only shallow teeth marks on his arm, I started to cry again...

He was rejected at birth, poisoned by his mother when he was young, and for many years it was always said that he would not live long. No parents were willing to marry a girl to him. How could he have deserved this?

It was just a shallow tooth mark, which was not even as painful as a sleepless night in his growing life.

Moreover, the tooth marks were left by him using medicine on purpose.

If he is destined not to have anything good in this life, then this mark is the best thing he can leave for himself.

Therefore, when he said that he had not treated the scar properly, he was not actually trying to comfort Chu Heyi.

"Thank you, sir. I am pleased with the lady." Zhou Mochen's voice came from the corridor, and then he was seen striding over.

"I invite you two to my home. I should have gone out to greet you, but there was an emergency at home, so I was unable to come and greet you. I hope you can forgive me." Zhou Mochen stepped forward and bowed, very politely.

Chu Heyi guessed that the urgent matter he was talking about should be Song Wuxi.

Her eyes had not been healed for too long, causing her to fall from hope into the abyss of despair. She was in a state of depression, had no will to survive, and always wanted to do stupid things from time to time.

She couldn't control it.

Sometimes she didn't even realize that she wanted to commit suicide.

Chu Heyi quietly wiped away her tears, then smiled and said to Zhou Mochi: "The Fifth Prince and we are friends of life and death, so there is no need to be so polite. Besides, you have already asked the housekeeper and the nanny to pick us up."

Zhou Mochen smiled gratefully at the two of them and invited them in. After they sat down, he asked the kitchen staff to serve wine and food.

After a while, Sang Nong also came. They greeted each other and sat down.

This meal is for Shane.

Zhou Mochi said: "Originally I invited Lord Wen, but he was sent out by the emperor to do some work and is not in Shengjing City now, so I have to owe him the money first."

He personally poured wine for Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

"The three of us brothers and sisters were able to escape death this time, all thanks to the great help of Mr. Xie and Miss Heyi. I will never forget your life-saving grace! If you two have any orders in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Sang Nong also picked up his wine glass and stood up: "What the Fifth Prince said is what I want to say in my heart. I, Sang Nong, toast to you two!"

The two brothers raised their glasses at the same time to thank Lin and Chu Heyi.

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi immediately stood up, holding their wine glasses and clinking them.

Chu Heyi said: "Saying thank you is too distant. We are good friends. It is natural for us to help our friends."

Because they had been rescued before, Zhou Mochen and Sang Nong knew how much weight Chu Heyi's words carried. They were not just polite words, but real solidarity.

They are safe now, not because there was no risk in saving them, but because Xie Lin and Chu Heyi cooperated well and were smart enough to save them from the butcher's knife.

Sang Nong was a man of few words. He drank the whole glass of wine with his head tilted back. “From now on, if you have any problems, just call me. If Sang Nong breaks my oath today, I will be struck by lightning.”

Zhou Mochi also finished the wine in his glass: "I am no different from my cousin."

Chu Heyi also drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "From now on, we will be loyal to each other!"

Then he said to Xie Lin: "Master Xie, can you drink? If not, I will help you drink."

His expression was very playful, and he reached out to take his wine glass, but was blocked by Xie Lin.

"I'm happy today, so it's okay to drink half a cup."

Xie Lin drank half a glass of wine. It was the first time he tasted wine, which was a bit spicy. The wine slid down his throat and into his stomach, slowly rising with a hint of warmth.

After half a round of drinking, everyone except Xie Lin was a little tipsy.

Zhou Mochi suddenly asked: "Did Miss Heyi know our identities long before this?"

This was the question he had always kept in his heart. Otherwise, how could Chu Heyi respond quickly to the conspiracy of King Cheng and his wife and the Prime Minister?

Moreover, Xie Lin was too quick in finding out information.

Zhou Mochen even suspected that Xie Lin had already sent people to the Northern Zhou royal family before Princess Cheng took action.

Listening to Zhou Mochi's question, Chu Heyi looked at Xie Lin and shook his head, "Master Xie, have we known their identities for a long time?"

Because of drinking, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her face was rosy, and her eyes were slightly moist and full of spring. That was probably it.

Xie Lin's heart moved, and he answered her: "This question is not important. What is important is that although their identities have been exposed, they are still alive, and they are treated as guests of honor by Daqi and are given preferential treatment."

Chu Heyi looked at Zhou Mochi and said slowly: "Did you hear that, Fifth Prince? Lord Xie said that your problem is not important. What is important is to live - to live well!"
