Wei Pianpian, who was in the restaurant opposite, stared at Ruyilou closely. She waited and waited, but her maid didn't come back.

Half an hour later, Cheng Jiuyuan and a few others were seen chatting and laughing as they walked out of Ruyi Tower, got on the carriage, and left safely. Her maid still did not come back.

"Someone come here." Wei Pianpian called softly.

A dark shadow appeared in the private room.

"A Xiu might have been exposed, so please deal with it cleanly."

As soon as the words came out, the shadow disappeared.

Wei Pianpian's eyes were full of coldness. She drank a sip of tea expressionlessly, put the teacup on the table, and got up and left without touching the delicacies on the table.

In the dilapidated temple, a basin of water was poured on the "bloody man" on the ground, and the "bloody man" slowly moved.

Chu Heng looked down at him and said, "Tell me, who told you to do this?"

The bloody man was crawling on the ground, motionless, and it seemed that he was determined to fight to the death.

Chi Zhang walked forward expressionlessly, squatted down, grabbed her hand, pinched her nails, and with a little force, the nail and flesh separated.

"Ah!!" screams echoed throughout the ruined temple.

"Speak!" Chi Zhang pinched her second finger again.

The fingers were connected to the heart, and the person on the ground curled up in pain.

"I...I said, yes..."

"Swish!" An arrow flew through the air and hit the woman right between her eyebrows.

Chi Zhang chased after him instantly.

Chu Heng squatted down, looked carefully, and then a bloodthirsty sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The Wei family."

After Cheng Jiuyuan returned home, he was about to take a short rest when Mu Jin came in to report that Chu Heng had arrived.

She stood up and came out, just as Song Lan was leading Chu Heng in.

"Why are you here, Your Highness?"

Chu Heng waved his hand to let the maid leave, leaving only him and Cheng Jiuyuan in the room.

He walked forward, slowly approaching her step by step.

Cheng Jiuyuan took a step back uncomfortably. There was a table behind her and she had nowhere to retreat, so she had to lean back.

"You always say the same thing every time we meet. It's really sad. Can't you come and see your fiancée when you have nothing to do?"

As he spoke, he kept moving forward, his warm breath falling on her skin, quickly turning her cheeks red.

Cheng Jiuyuan raised her hand and placed it on his chest, then sat down on the chair and poured a cup of tea for herself and him.

He picked up the tea and took a sip, waiting for the throbbing in his heart to slowly subside.

She didn't know if her mood had changed, but she felt that since he revealed his feelings that day, he did not force her to make a decision, but his words and actions had become much bolder.

Although she has lived two lives, she was the one who chased Chu Ze unilaterally in her previous life and had no experience in love. As a result, when she is teased by someone now, she blushes and her heart beats fast, which is completely unlike her usual self.

She raised her eyes to look at Chu Heng opposite her and saw him staring at her quietly, with a light flowing between his brows that seemed to be gathering the gentle moonlight.

Cheng Jiuyuan lowered his eyelids and said softly, "It seems that the Ministry of Personnel is indeed very idle."

"Hey, it seems that Yuan'er doesn't want to see me, but it's a pity that I'm still eager to help solve the problem."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him curiously: "What happened?"

"Today, someone bribed the waiter at Ruyi Tower to drug your drinks. We caught a little girl, and when she was about to confess, she was silenced."

"Who can kill someone under your hands?"

"The Wei family."

Cheng Jiuyuan put down the teacup and thought for a moment.

On the surface, she didn't have any conflicts with the Wei family, right? Could it be that Jiang Xiubai was exposed?

That's impossible. She didn't receive any news. Jiang Xiubai is now Wei Tiankuang's trusted general.

"Don't think too much. It shouldn't be Wei Tiankuang and Wei Xiangming. The waiter said that the man planned to lock you and Pei Xuan in a room alone after you took the Chinese medicine."

Cheng Jiuyuan supported his chin.

This is to frame her and her cousin.

Could it be that I or my eldest cousin blocked the Wei family's way?

Apart from Wei Xiangming, the only other member of the Wei family who lives in the capital is Wei Pianpian.

I blocked Wei Pianpian's way, and she wanted to ruin her reputation?

It seems that she has no deep hatred with Wei Pianpian. She is engaged to Chu Heng, and Chu Heng is helping the prince on the surface.

Suddenly Cheng Jiuyuan remembered the last time Chu Heng came to the academy, she accidentally saw the look Wei Pianpian gave Chu Heng.

That look...

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly raised her eyes and looked at Chu Heng.

Yes, that’s the way Chu Heng looked at her.

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly stood up and approached Chu Heng just as Chu Heng approached her just now.

There was a hint of doubt in Chu Heng's eyes, and he felt that her look was somewhat dangerous.

"what happened?"

Cheng Jiuyuan stopped one step away from him and looked down at him.

"Your Highness is very familiar with Miss Wei?"

"Unfamiliar."

"How can you not be familiar with each other? You all grew up in the capital, and the way Miss Wei looks at you doesn't seem like she's unfamiliar with you."

"Really not familiar with you. You also know that I have been busy avoiding the Wei family, how could it be possible... huh?" Chu Heng suddenly stopped explaining, curled his lips and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

"You wouldn't..." He looked at her tentatively.

"Can't do anything?"

"Is it...Is it something I ate wrong?"

Cheng Jiuyuan rolled his eyes silently, turned around and wanted to go back to his seat.

But he grabbed her wrist and exerted force on her hand.

The beauty did not fall into his arms as he had imagined. He was fooled in the carriage. This time, Cheng Jiuyuan reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

In just a short moment, the two of them exchanged more than ten moves. In the end, Chu Heng was caught by the wrist, and Cheng Jiuyuan's hands were very strong.

He smiled brightly and said, "So Yuan'er wants to be the superior. Just say it. I'm happy to do it."

After saying this, he glanced at his wrist with a bit of shyness on his face.

Cheng Jiuyuan shook off his hand and felt that this guy was more and more abnormal.

Chu Heng coughed lightly and regained his expression.

"I really don't have any impression of the girl from the Wei family. The Wei family and I have an irreconcilable feud. There is no way anything can happen between us."

Cheng Jiuyuan also knew that he couldn't possibly have any thoughts about Wei Pianpian, but that didn't mean the girl thought so too.

"Your Highness, this incident may indeed be caused by your bad luck in love."

Chu Heng looked innocent.

He came today specifically to remind her to be careful of the Wei family and secretly take credit for it.

I didn't expect that this incident might be caused by him in the end.

Does that mean he has implicated her?

"No matter what the reason is, I will solve it. You should also be careful. The Wei family's secret guards should not be underestimated." Chu Heng warned seriously.

"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me."

Even if the drugged wine was brought to her today, she would be able to see through it.

"I'll take you back to the academy tomorrow."

"No need, I have made an appointment with Sister Yu, the princess and the others to go back together."

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.
