Xie Yan was speechless.

“Junjun really cares about you, your highness. Every day when I return after completing your treatment, he asks me about your condition. It’s just that after staying at the Third Prince’s palace for so long, he feels rather nervous.” Zhao Chuchu helped Xie Jun explain his behavior.

“I told my father to let you guys go back first, but he didn’t allow it. So I can’t do anything about it. I’m sorry that you guys have to remain at the Third Prince’s palace.”

“Your residence is great. We don’t have to worry about anything.”

Zhao Chuchu knew very well that the Third Prince was doing this for Xie Heng and Xie Jun’s safety.

During the period leading up to the spring exams, it was better for Xie Heng to stay at the Third Prince’s palace, as it could help them prevent unnecessary trouble.

The appearance of Xie Jun must have drawn the attention of both the Great Prince and the Sikou Clan.

If they stayed in their own home, there was no telling how much trouble they would encounter.

Xie Jun didn’t know any of this, but Zhao Chuchu knew.

“Come to think of it, Zizhao would return from the examination hall in about three days,” Xie Yan said. “With his ability, becoming an advanced scholar should not be a problem.”

“Let’s not be too sure. What if the chief examiner didn’t like his style of writing?

No one knows if he might be eliminated.”

“That won’t happen. There is more than one examiner. They will discuss more contentious answers. The decision isn’t made by a single person.”

“That’s great. Your Highness, your injuries have only just recovered. I think it’s better for you not to get too much wind.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Xie.”

“I will take my leave first, your highness.”

Zhao Chuchu bowed slightly, then turned and left. She avoided being with the Third Prince for too long lest strange rumors start spreading.

That would be bad for everyone.

Xie Yan looked at Zhao Chuchu’s figure as she walked away and sighed slightly.

“What’s wrong, your highness?” His servant heard him sigh and bent down to ask.

Xie Yan said, “Sometimes, I get very jealous of the relationship between Xie Heng and Xie Jun. How nice would it be if my brothers and I could be like that?” The servant’s expression turned a little awkwvard upon hearing that.

He thought that Xie Yan might be interested in Zhao Chuchu. However, it seemed that he was overthinking.

“Your Highness, I think we shouldn’t overthink this. The royal family is different from ordinary people.” “That’s true. Never mind, let’s go back.”

“Yes, sir.”

The servants pushed Xie Yan’s wheelchair to turn around and leave in another direction.

Just then, a person stood up from the flower bed in the northeastern corner of the garden. No one knew how long he had been there.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Chuchu, whom he had seen leaving just now, suddenly appeared in front of him. She asked, “You’ve been hiding here for quite a while. What are you trying to do?”

The man almost jumped out of shock, but he felt a little less nervous when he saw that it was Zhao Chuchu. He said, “Greetings, Mrs. Xie. I was just slacking off here and accidentally fell asleep. Please don’t tell the Third Prince about this.”

He looked like an honest person, but not a word of truth was spoken from his mouth.

“Slacking off? I can tell if you fell asleep or not, and you don’t look like you were asleep at all. Be honest. How long have you been here? What are you trying to do?”

“Mrs. Xie, this is a misunderstanding. I didn’t do anything.”

“So you’re a stubborn one, huh? Alright, come with me. We’re going to see the Third Prince.”

As she spoke, Zhao Chuchu reached to grab his arm. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

Instantly, the man’s eyes turned vicious and fierce. Then he started attacking

Zhao Chuchu as he said fiercely, “You little bitch, do you not want to stay alive?

Why don’t you just mind your own business?”

He was confident that he could kill Zhao Chuchu with a single strike.

But the next moment, his face was filled with fear.

He realized that his body felt like it was getting frozen. His movements were gradually glowing down.

Zhao Chuchu stared at him with an eerie smile on her face. “You think I would dare to stay in a dangerous place like the Third Prince’s palace if I’m not able to defend myself? You are the one who poisoned the water that day, right?”

“Are you human?” The man was drowning in fear, and his voice started trembling.

“Give it a guess.”

“You are not human!”

“You know that I’m not human, yet you still attempt something like this. Who do you think you are? Tell me, who sent you here? You’ve followed me around quite a lot over the past few days. You think I won’t recognize you just because you changed your face?”

Then Zhao Chuchu listed all the times this man had appeared.

The man felt even more fearful after hearing that.

He was pretty confident in his disguise techniques, and so far, no one had been able to see through his disguise. But now, it was as though he were transparent, and Zhao Chuchu saw straight through him. He had no secrets left.

“Who are you?”

“No one. I just don’t like Xie Yan.”

“Huh? Don’t try to make me laugh. So you tried to kill the Third Prince just because you don’t like him? Did he kill your entire family?”

“It’s a personal matter. I don’t need to explain it to you.” “Great, that’s fine. But, since you don’t want to speak, I’ll do it myself.” How difficult was it to make someone tell their secrets?

The man thought that Zhao Chuchu was just trying to scare him.

But when he experienced Zhao Chuchu’s methods, he couldn’t help but start to beg for mercy..
