Yu Liang lowered his voice and asked, "Are they all fainted? You took their clothes..."

"Look what this is?" Cui Mo interrupted Yu Liang and handed over the handkerchief in her hand.

Yu Liang took the handkerchief and smelled a strange fragrance, which was very pleasant, as if it was the scent of osmanthus. He subconsciously took a deep breath, and it was this breath that made him lose consciousness and fall to the ground.

"Guard Yu?" Cui Mo called him a few times, but when she saw no movement from him, she was sure that he had really fainted.

Cui Mo took the handkerchief back from his hand. It was the handkerchief given to her by Chu Heyi, and there was a sleeping pill on it.

Looking at the handkerchief, Cui Mo's face turned pale. Chu Runxue gave her a hundred taels of silver and asked her to help with something, but Chu Heyi found out about it. However, Chu Heyi did not punish her. Instead, he asked her to obey Chu Runxue's instructions and do things.

At first she didn't understand what Chu Heyi meant. How could he go there knowing there was a tiger on the mountain?

And now, she vaguely understood that Chu Heyi was pretending to join the game in order to pull Chu Runxue in.

Cui Mo was very scared, but she had to listen to Chu Heyi's words, otherwise she would not lose a hundred taels of silver, but the lives of her brother, sister-in-law and nephew.

Money is a good thing, but what good is it if you don’t have the life to spend it!

Thinking of this, Cui Mo pursed her lips hard, her eyes became more determined. She took the handkerchief back, took something from Chu Heyi's hand, and went to the front hall.

The banquet was over. Chu Runxue was chatting with Concubine Zheng and Old Madam Zheng while waiting for news from Dongfang Shuo so that she could lead everyone to the guest room to "catch the adulterer".

When she saw Cui Mo coming over, she smiled and said, "My Lady, Old Madam, it's Cui Mo from He Yi who's here. I'm going to see if He Yi asked her to come."

Madam Zheng said, "Go and have a look quickly. If there is anything that Heyi girl needs, you can send it to her."

Chu Runxue took Cui Mo's hand and walked aside, and asked her quietly: "Is everything done?"

Cui Mo nodded slightly and took out something else for Chu Runxue.

“However, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng said that it is not appropriate for you to take the Imperial Concubine and the others to deal with the Second Miss’s matter, as they may affect you and harm your reputation. He will arrange for someone else to do this.

"His Royal Highness Prince Cheng knows that according to your personality, he will definitely go there in person with the Imperial Concubine and others, and will not feel relieved until the matter is done. But he really doesn't want you to go, so he asked me to deliver this jade pendant. His Royal Highness asked you to personally hand the jade pendant to him now, and he will wait for you at Shui'anju."

Chu Runxue knew that this jade pendant was given to Dongfang Shuo by the emperor himself when he returned from his first victorious battle as a deputy general at the age of fifteen. There was a four-clawed dragon engraved on it and it was of great significance, so he would never take it off easily.

Chu Runxue held the jade pendant and seemed to be able to feel Dongfang Shuo's determination not to let her get involved in this matter.

"In this case, I will return the jade pendant to His Royal Highness King Cheng."

Chu Runxue finished speaking and turned back to Concubine Zheng and said, "My Lady, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng accidentally lost his jade pendant, and Cui Mo found it. I will personally deliver it to His Royal Highness right now, otherwise he will be worried."

Concubine Zheng said, "Cui Mo is a person who returns the lost money. Go quickly and ask Prince Cheng to give Cui Mo some reward."

Chu Runxue said yes.

When they arrived at Shui'anju, Chu Runxue felt a little dizzy, perhaps because the sun at noon was too scorching.

There was only one maid lazily guarding outside the yard, while the others either went to the front to help or took turns to have lunch.

Chu Runxue asked the maid to make a pot of tea, then walked into Shui'anju and pushed open the door. Chu Runxue smelled a faint fragrance, which was very pleasant. Then she saw Dongfang Shuo lying on the soft couch under the window.

"You and I are not young anymore, yet you want to see me and yet you are so rude and lie on the couch." Chu Runxue walked over with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo didn't get up, Chu Runxue held his hand and said, "I brought your jade pendant. I can't rest assured if I don't watch it with my own eyes. Your Highness, please get up quickly and go with me to take a look."

She would only feel at ease after seeing Chu Heyi's reputation ruined, seeing Chu Heyi being hated by Concubine Zheng and Old Madam Zheng, and seeing Chu Heyi's marriage to Dongfang Shuo fall through.

Before things were done, she was always worried about accidents.

Chu Runxue pulled Dongfang Shuo and felt that he was heavy. Then she discovered that Dongfang Shuo's face was abnormally red, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were a little blurry when he looked at her.

"What's wrong with you, Your Highness?" Chu Runxue frowned slightly.

The faint fragrance on her body and her gentle words intensified the discomfort in Dongfang Shuo's body and made his forbearance and restraint collapse in an instant. Dongfang Shuo suddenly hugged her and his lips fell on her white neck.

"Runxue, I miss you so much. I want you to be my princess, right now. I won't treat you unfairly!"

Chu Runxue trembled all over. His body was extremely hot. Being hugged and kissed by him like this, she felt distracted and very restless.

She suddenly thought of the fragrance she smelled when she came in, and then thought of Dongfang Shuo's current situation, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, the fragrance in the room is poisonous. We are poisoned. Please wake up!"

Chu Runxue tried to wake Dongfang Shuo up, but he treated her even more cruelly. Chu Runxue took a deep breath, pushed Dongfang Shuo away with all her strength, and slapped him in the face.

"I'm Chu Runxue. We don't have an engagement now. You can't do this to me!"

Chu Runxue knew how much people in this world valued chastity.

She couldn't lose her virginity before marriage, as that would only make Dongfang Shuo think she was easy to get, and it would also make Old Lady Zheng and Concubine Zheng look down on her.

If she lost her virginity today and everyone knew about it, it would be difficult for her to become a princess. She didn't want to be a concubine. A concubine was just a tool for her husband's family to give birth!

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly rushed into her mind, and she immediately asked: "Did His Highness ask Cui Mo to bring the jade pendant to find me?"

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were red and sweat was pouring down his face. "No."

Chu Runxue took a breath and said, "We were tricked, Your Highness! Chu Heyi tricked us. She poisoned you and then called me over...

"Also, there is medicine on the jade pendant Cui Mo handed to me. Has your jade pendant been in Chu Heyi's hands? She wants me to lose my virginity here and then bring the imperial concubine and the others here..."

Medicine was applied on the jade pendant and the fragrance in the room was abnormal. Chu Heyi really ensured that every step was foolproof!

Cui Mo must have betrayed her, otherwise Chu Heyi would not have known her plan and plotted against both her and Dongfang Shuo.

No wonder she felt dizzy when she walked here. The sun at noon in spring shouldn't be so hot that she felt dizzy.

She underestimated the enemy!

It's so hot! My body started to feel sticky and my face was covered with sweat! Chu Runxue felt the changes in her body, but there was still a trace of clarity in her mind.

"Your Highness, let's get out of here quickly and keep our innocence. Then we can bite back at Chu Heyi and let the imperial concubine know how vicious Chu Heyi is! She actually dared to poison you. She wants to make it a done deal with you, and both you and I have become victims!"

Chu Runxue turned around and tried to run out, but Dongfang Shuo pulled her back, held her in his arms, and kissed her hard on the lips.
