Chu Yihan’s expression showed a hint of displeasure. “It’s so cold, why didn’t you come inside?”
Standing outside his door in the cold wind had chilled her hands!
Su Yingxue smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks. “1 didn’t dare disturb Your Highness, and 1 couldn’t bear to…”
“To shatter the picturesque scene,” Su Yingxue thought.
Chu Yihan’s enchanting back view was too handsome!
“What couldn’t you bear?”
Chu Yihan leaned over, rubbing his nose against her cheek. The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened. Su Yingxue was caught off guard and blushed. “No… Nothing.”
Chu Yihan’s deep and magnetic voice resonated. Su Yingxue could only see the movement of his Adam’s apple, the smooth skin of his collar, and the firm jawline.
Her face felt like it was on fire. Before she could think of a response, Chu Yihan questioned her again. “Have you been drinking?”
Su Yingxue was taken aback. “No… It was Scarlet Flame King who drank a bit.” “Qin Muyan?” Chu Yihan’s eyes emitted a dangerous aura. “Why did you drink with him?”
“The Scarlet Flame King just arrived in Jiang Du City and didn’t like the palace banquet, so 1 invited him to have a meal at the Furong Restaurant.” Su Yingxue honestly recounted the first part of the story, omitting Qin Muyan’s proposal to her.
Chu Yihan snorted disdainfully. “Tomorrow, I’ll issue an order that the envoy must dine in the palace!”
Qin Muyan dared to let Su Yingxue treat him to a meal alone!
“Your Highness, don’t be . If someone in the envoy team complains to the emperor, the emperor will have something to say. There’s no need for others to gossip.” Su Yingxue quickly persuaded him.
Chu Yihan didn’t care at all. “It’s fine.”
“It can’t be fine! Your Highness, if you care a little, the emperor won’t be able to target you or force you… to get sick.”
A trace of heartache flashed across Su Yingxue’s eyes.
Chu Yihan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn’t control himself. Just thinking about it made him tremble in fear.
If he hurt others, he would also hurt himself!
Chu Yihan’s expression softened when he saw the worry on her face. He pinched her little face and said, “Okay, I promise you. Accompany me for a meal.”
“Your Highness hasn’t had dinner at this hour?” Su Yingxue was shocked.
Chu Yihan nodded. He was also responsible for receiving the envoys, but his mission was different. He had to collect information about the envoys entering each checkpoint and pay attention to the defense of each city at the border.
The court meeting was a grand gathering of the four countries and nine states, but it was also an opportunity for those with wild ambitions to take advantage of it.
He wanted to end this kind of thing, so the daily collection and deployment left him very exhausted.
Su Yingxue’s heart ached when she saw that he was only eating at this hour. She even went to the kitchen to bring over the tonic she had prepared for him. After he finished eating, she watched him drink it.
After Chu Yihan finished eating, he placed a soft couch in the garden pavilion. He hugged Su Yingxue and leaned against the couch, admiring the beautiful night view.
Su Yingxue had never seen the garden of the prince’s mansion properly. In the past, she only knew that Chu Yihan was extremely powerful. The Ninth Prince’s Mansion was also the most majestic place in the entire Jiang Du City, other than the imperial palace. But now, it seemed that not only did this garden have the majesty of the owner, but there were also all kinds of strange sights.
Su Yingxue saw a tall mountain not far away and tilted her head. “Is this newly built by Your Highness?”
“Yes, a Tiger Mountain.”
“Tiger Mountain?” Su Yingxue’s eyes lit up. “Has Your Highness raised tigers? Can I go and take a look?”
“It’s still on its way..”
