The drizzle fell like cow hair, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The road was very muddy, and the carriage would occasionally sink into deep mud pits as it drove on it, making dull noises.

Chen Jue sat in the carriage, looking at the rain outside the window, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The raindrops hit the car window, splashing small water droplets, just like the waves in his heart at the moment.

He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and contemplation. Thinking back to the past, he was always struggling in the whirlpool of emotions, suffering from the unspeakable love for his sister Chen Jia.

That night of drunkenness in the wine cellar made him deeply aware of his own powerlessness and weakness.

He can't go on like this, he must change what he does and find a way out for his future.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Dali Temple. Chen Jue took a deep breath and straightened his clothes. He got off the carriage and looked up at the solemn gate of Dali Temple. A firm belief surged in his heart.

He walked into the Dali Temple with firm steps. The rain wet the corners of his clothes, but he didn't care.

In the lobby of the Dali Temple, Liao Feng was sitting at the table, carefully reading the case files.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and was slightly surprised to see Chen Jue approaching.

After all, Chen Jue was always absent-minded and lacked enthusiasm for work. But at this moment, Chen Jue's eyes revealed determination and concentration, which made Liao Feng look at him differently.

Chen Jue walked up to Liao Feng, bowed slightly and said, "Lord Liao, let's start analyzing the case."

Liao Feng nodded and handed the case file to Chen Jue. They began to analyze the case diligently, and Chen Jue was fully focused on it, not missing any details.

He carefully studied the clues at the crime scene and analyzed the testimony of witnesses, trying to find the key to solving the case.

Sometimes he frowned in thought, and sometimes he communicated and discussed with Liao Feng.

With his intelligence and keen insight, he put forward many valuable ideas and clues. With their joint efforts, the case soon made some progress and was successfully closed.

After closing the case, Chen Jue decided to report the results to His Majesty in person.

He straightened his clothes and walked into the palace with a nervous mood.

The palace was solemn and magnificent. Chen Jue walked carefully, each step filled with tension and anticipation.

His Majesty sat on the high dragon throne and watched Chen Jue walk in.

There was admiration in His Majesty's eyes. He nodded slightly and motioned Chen Jue to come forward.

Chen Jue respectfully reported the outcome of the case to His Majesty in detail. His voice was steady and powerful, and he explained the course and outcome of the case in a clear and logical manner.

His Majesty nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Chen Jue, you have done a great job. I am very pleased to see your progress."

Chen Jue was delighted, and he took the opportunity to further express his desire to improve himself: "Your Majesty, I know that I still have many shortcomings, but I am eager to continue to improve and serve Your Majesty and the country."

His Majesty looked at Chen Jue with a smile and discussed work with him. Chen Jue honestly said that he was not having a good time in the Dali Temple and he always felt that he had no strength to use.

His Majesty frowned slightly and listened carefully to Chen Jue's story. As Chen Jue's senior, His Majesty knew his situation very well.

He patiently helped Chen Jue analyze his interpersonal relationships, pointed out possible problems Chen Jue might have in getting along with others, and gave him some advice.

His Majesty said: "Chen Jue, in the court, interpersonal relationships are crucial. You must learn to cooperate with others and respect their opinions in order to do your job better."

In order to help Chen Jue better carry out his work in the Dali Temple, His Majesty also decided to help him make personnel adjustments. His Majesty asked the prince to personally help Chen Jue handle interpersonal relationships in the Dali Temple.

After receiving the order, the prince was secretly delighted. He knew this was a good opportunity to win over Chen Jue.

The prince walked towards Chen Jue with a smile and called out affectionately, "Ajue, we must cooperate more in the future. This prince will do his best to help you gain a foothold in the Dali Temple."

Chen Jue looked at the prince and understood his intention. In this complicated court, he needed someone to rely on. Although he knew that accepting the prince's solicitation might bring some risks, he had no choice at the moment.

The lights were on, and the Prince's mansion was brightly lit. Chen Jue and the Prince sat opposite each other, and the table was filled with fine wine and delicacies. The Prince raised his glass, smiled and looked at Chen Jue, his eyes full of admiration.

"Ajue, this prince has always admired you. You are extremely intelligent and ambitious. Given time, you will become a great man."

The prince's words were sincere and passionate.

Chen Jue was slightly moved and raised his glass to toast the prince.

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. Chen Jue will do his best to live up to your Highness's expectations."

The two chatted with each other, enjoying the conversation. From the court situation to life ideals, from poetry and songs to military strategies, the topics were endless and interesting. Unconsciously, time passed quietly and it was already midnight.

Chen Jue was drunk and left the Prince's Mansion with unsteady steps.

The night wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it failed to reduce Chen Jue's drunkenness in the slightest.

He staggered towards home, his conversation with the prince still echoing in his mind.

When Chen Jue finally returned home, he saw Chen Jia sitting quietly in the hall waiting for him.

The light in the hall was soft and warm, shining on Chen Jia's face, making her look particularly gentle.

When Chen Jia saw Chen Jue's drunken appearance, she frowned slightly, feeling both distressed and helpless.

She quickly stood up, walked to Chen Jue, and helped him up.

"How much did you drink? Why are you so drunk?"

There was a hint of blame in Chen Jia's voice, but more of it was concern.

Chen Jia supported Chen Jue as they walked through the corridor, and Chen Jue was still talking drunkenly.

"Sister, I had a very pleasant conversation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince admires me very much, and we even said that we would make progress together."

Chen Jia responded softly, while carefully supporting Chen Jue, fearing that he would fall.

As Chen Jue spoke, he suddenly became excited and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sister, I really don't want you to leave me. You are the closest person to me in this world, and I don't want to lose you."

Chen Jia's heart softened, she stopped and gently comforted Chen Jue.

"Ajue, sister will not leave you, don't worry."

However, Chen Jue's tears could not stop flowing. He held Chen Jia's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Jue's emotions were completely released, and his heart was filled with attachment and reluctance to Chen Jia.

Finally, they arrived at the door of Chen Jue's room. Chen Jue stumbled and fell to the ground.

Chen Jia hurriedly leaned over to help him up, and it took a lot of effort to help Chen Jue up. Chen Jue stood shakily, but his body involuntarily leaned towards Chen Jia.

The two fell on the bed together, Chen Jue pressed on Chen Jia, and soon fell asleep.

Chen Jia was pressed down by Chen Jue to the point of suffocation. She tried to push Chen Jue away, but Chen Jue held her tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her even in his sleep.

At this time, the room was filled with a faint aroma of wine and Chen Jue's unique scent.

Chen Jia's heartbeat involuntarily quickened and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Chen Jue's arms were tightly wrapped around Chen Jia's waist like an iron hoop, and the strength seemed to embed her into his body.

Chen Jia struggled desperately. She twisted her body and pushed Chen Jue hard with both hands, trying to break free from his arms.

Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. She had never thought she would end up in such a situation.

"Chen Jue, let me go!"

Chen Jia shouted in a low voice, but Chen Jue did not react at all and still held her tightly.

Chen Jia increased her strength. She hit Chen Jue's chest with her elbow and pressed her knee against his abdomen. However, Chen Jue seemed not to feel the pain and just held her even tighter in his arms.

Chen Jia's struggle seemed so difficult, and her strength seemed to be gradually exhausted in Chen Jue's arms.

Her hair was scattered around her face in a messy mess and sweat was running down her forehead.

In his sleep, Chen Jue still held Chen Jia tightly in his arms, as if she was his most precious treasure.
