Chu Yunyi only felt a figure passing by, and the next moment, Xie Yan was standing in front of him.

The two were clearly about the same height, but Xie Yan felt a severe sense of oppression, making him think for a moment that the person standing in front was the majestic imperial grandfather back then.

As soon as this thought emerged in his mind, he suppressed it again. He stared at Xie Yan coldly: "What? Commander Xie is questioning my decision?"

In fact, in today's court, most of the ministers who are aware of current affairs do not dare to confront Chu Yunyi. The emperor is seriously ill and all major court affairs are left to Chu Yunyi to handle. If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Yunyi is a sure winner.

As the next monarch, no one wants to go against him when he is at the peak of his power.

However, Xie Yan was obviously not among the ministers who knew current affairs.

He pulled Gu Ning behind him with one hand, and pushed Chu Yunyi away forcefully with the other hand, keeping Chu Yunyi at arm's length from him. Then he said coldly: "Even the prince cannot confuse right and wrong."

Gu Ning covered the left side of her cheek. Although the blood had solidified, the hideous color still made people feel uncomfortable. Such a deep wound would probably disfigure her face.

Some of the ladies had pity in their eyes and felt a little fond of Xie Yan who stood up for Gu Ning.

"Then if Commander Xie sees this, are you asking the Crown Princess to pay for her with her life?"

Chu Yunyi's tone was gloomy and clearly threatening.

However, Xie Yan's handsome face was still cold. Not only did he not take his threat seriously, he said coldly and harshly: "There is no need to pay for her life, just make a slash on the same spot on her face."

Can."

"You are crazy!" Chu Yunyi said in disbelief, "The Crown Princess has a noble status, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous?"

Xie Yan was about to speak, but his sleeve was pulled by Gu Ning. He lowered his eyes and looked down with a touch of pity in his eyes: "Don't worry Ning'er, I will definitely make the decision for you! Let the person who hurt you retaliate with an eye for an eye.

Eye!"

His eyes were so sharp that Gu Qingqiu, who was confident of winning, trembled and subconsciously hid behind Chu Yunyi: "Your Highness, I'm afraid he is...ahhhhh!"

Gu Qingqiu felt as if her face had been torn apart. She screamed and covered her face in pain. Blood continued to flow out from between her fingers.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

"This...this is too bold!"

"Looking at the prince's face, I'm afraid this will not go well."

Gu Ning was also stunned. She saw the ferocious-looking Chu Yunyi from the corner of her eye. Without thinking, she protected Xie Yan behind her and said loudly: "What? The princess's appearance is valuable, but my appearance is not.

?」

"I just came to the garden, and I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince keep saying that there is no need to salute. As soon as the Crown Princess saw me, she forced me to salute. But I have the same status as her, so why should I salute?"

"The Crown Princess clearly holds a grudge against what happened before and wants to use her identity to show off her power in front of me! She even scratched my face after I exposed her feelings. She really thinks that our Pei family is a small family that is bullied by everyone.

Can’t do it?”

"Even if you are from a small family, can you, as a crown princess, take advantage of your situation to bully others?"

Gu Ning's sharp words made Chu Yunyi, who was about to attack, hold his breath in his stomach, neither up nor down.

But Gu Qingqiu could only tug at the corner of his clothes and cry softly, making him even more depressed.

Gu Ning knew how to protect her fiancé, but it was better for her. She was clearly the cause of the trouble, but she only knew how to hide behind her and cry!

"Your Highness, you must make the decision for me, my face..." When Gu Qingqiu spoke, he was extremely frightened.

She clearly felt the pain on her face. If she was so disfigured, wouldn't it make the little *** outside even more arrogant?

No! She will never allow this to happen.

Seeing that Chu Yunyi was still planning to argue with Gu Ning, she said anxiously: "Your Highness, where is the imperial doctor? Where is the imperial doctor?"

She was crying pitifully, and tears rolled down her cheeks, which made Chu Yunyi's anger subside a little. He glared coldly at the two people opposite him, and said in a deep voice: "Today's events, I will remember

Got off!"

Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Ning coldly: "I originally wanted to congratulate my cousin, but I didn't expect that my cousin would be so ignorant! It seems that my sincerity was paid in error!"

Just when Chu Yunyi was about to leave, Gu Ning sneered: "What sincerity? Are you sincere about fooling around with my concubine at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet when we were still unmarried couples? Then this is too sincere.

It’s not worth anything anymore.”

As soon as these words came out, many ladies and ladies who were watching laughed out loud.

Chu Yunyi's face turned blue and purple, but now was definitely not the time to have a conflict with the Pei family. He suppressed this hatred in his heart, said "I don't have the same knowledge as a woman!", and strode away.

Gu Qingqiu was pulled by him and stumbled out. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xie Yan squatting next to Gu Ning, softly comforting Xie Yan, who was no longer as cold as before. She felt in a trance.z.br

Once upon a time, she and Chu Yunyi were so close.

But now...she subconsciously raised her eyes, but could only see Chu Yunyi's cheeks stiffened from clenching his teeth, and the anger in his eyes.

Behind him, Xie Yan's voice was cold and full of concern.

"Don't be afraid, I'll call for the imperial doctor right away."

Xie Yan picked up Gu Ning and strode towards the inner courtyard.

Chunyu reacted in time and hurriedly followed the two of them: "Sir, it's better to let the servants escort the county lord in. There are so many people watching. You and the county lord are not married yet. If you enter the inner courtyard, you will only

I'm afraid it will cause gossip."

Hearing this, Xie Yan's hurried steps stopped.

Without looking back, he could still feel the many gazes from behind. His gaze stopped for a moment on the blood mark on Gu Ning's cheek.

"It's all fake." Gu Ning turned her head, feeling a little guilty, "I also came up with the trick just now. I didn't expect you never noticed my eyes."

Xie Yan was helpless. He had only seen Gu Ning's aggrieved and innocent look. How could he find the time to find out whether this matter was true or not?

However, under Gu Ning's somewhat confused gaze, he shook his head slightly: "Even if it is fake, she provoked you first. Her previous methods of scheming against you were extremely vicious. If today was not the happy day of our engagement,

There should be no bloodshed, and I will never give up."

"Don't worry." He said, wiping away the last trace of blood on Gu Ning's cheek, and said warmly, "I'll ask Yue Rong to come over later and bring you special disguise tools so that no one will notice.

.”

"Don't do these things again in the future."

Just when Gu Ning secretly thought that this was indeed the case, he heard Xie Yan continue: "I will be worried."

Gu Ning's cheeks turned red and she nodded dullly: "I've remembered it all, go ahead."

As her fiancé, Xie Yan had to perform well in front of several men in the Pei family today.

"Okay." Xie Yan then lowered his eyes and told Chun Yu beside him, "Take good care of the county master. If there is any accident, send someone to inform me immediately."

"yes."

Chunyu responded with a low eyebrow, but the moment Xie Yan left, her eyebrows started to wrinkle: "County Master, how did you get that scar? When I took a first look at it, it looked like a real scar.

Like! If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have fought the Crown Princess to the death!”

Gu Ning snorted, that was a sharp weapon she got from the system, and it cost more than ten points of luck!

Just thinking that he and Xie Yan were about to get married, Gu Ning suppressed the pain: "I wiped it on on a whim. You didn't look carefully at the time, so of course you couldn't see it."

"That's it." Chunyu nodded thoughtfully, suppressing the doubt in her heart.

As soon as Chunyu helped her in and lay down, before the quilt was warmed, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and a sharp female voice sounded.

Gu Ning covered her ears and buried her head under the quilt.

The next second, the quilt was lifted off.

An enlarged and charming face came towards him. Gu Ning rolled his eyes: "Why are you here?"

"I am

I care about you!" Chu Shiling angrily held up her hands and sat on the bedside of Gu Ning. Her eyes were like two lanterns in the dark night, scanning Gu Ning up and down, "Aren't you okay?"

Gu Ning pinched her face hard: "Which of your eyes saw that I was okay?"

"Both eyes have seen it." Chu Shiling said angrily, "Your face is as smooth as a shelled egg. Where is the injury? Those ladies said each one was more miserable than the other, as if you had been disfigured!

"

Speaking of this, she winked at Gu Ning again: "I heard that your new fiancé was so angry that he scratched the Crown Princess's face with a knife?"

Gu Ning coughed lightly, raised her chin and said, "What? Do you still want to speak for her? With all she has done over the years, shaving her face is not easy!"

Gu Qingqiu's plan for her was to destroy her family!

"Of course not." Chu Shiling waved her hand, "I just didn't expect your new fiancé to be so powerful!"

When she mentioned this, her eyes brightened a lot: "In addition to saying that the Crown Princess is arrogant and domineering and scratching your face, those ladies also said more about Sir Xie. I look at their appearance, if they are young

I'm a teenager, I'm afraid I'm going to fight with you to grab Mr. Xie!"

When Gu Ning heard this, her chin was raised high, and her beautiful eyebrows showed pride and wantonness: "If they want to rob me, just rob them. I will not fight with them. Any man who can be robbed is not a good thing!"

"That's true." Chu Shiling nodded, "But you have to be careful. After all the trouble today, the relationship between the prince and you will not be able to be eased at all."

Today, Chu Yunyi came to Pei Mansion to celebrate. Firstly, it was the emperor's wish, and secondly, the emperor wanted to ease the relationship between the two families. However, this idea was completely lost today.

Mentioning this matter, a cold look appeared in Gu Ning's eyes.

However, the next moment, Chu Shiling pounced on her and took out a very delicate picture book from her sleeve.

"This is my wedding gift to you!"

Gu Ning was confused and started flipping through the painting book.

Just after reading the first page, her face seemed to be coated with a thick layer of rouge, so red that it almost bled.
