Seeing the sweat on Chu Lian's forehead, Chu Yu sneered.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Lian, will be getting married soon. It's better to go back and prepare for the wedding. Don't always keep an eye on Prince Yu's Mansion."

After Chu Yu stopped his hand, Chu Lian immediately felt pain in his shoulder. With the help of others, he stood up. He gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Yu.

"knew."

Lin Yiman didn't dare to speak anymore. When he saw Chu Lian getting up, he quickly helped him leave the alley.

Chu Yu stared at Su Youning on the side, with the scene of Shen Moli holding Su Youning's wrist in his mind, and said coldly.

"Go home!"

After all this trouble, the group returned to Prince Yu's Mansion in the afternoon.

Butler Liu took everyone from the Imperial Guard Department to have a meal in the main hall.

"Brother Yu, you haven't had a meal with Nanxiang for a long time. Aunt Gusu has already prepared lunch. Why don't you, brother Yu, eat with Nanxiang?"

Just when Su Youning was sitting upright, her body stiff and a little sleepy.

Shen Moli nodded slightly with a faint smile.

The questions were not complicated. They were just about when the assassin appeared, whether there were assassins anywhere else in the palace besides the main courtyard, what weapons the assassins used, and what hidden weapons they used.

Chu Yu had a cold face and said nothing. Seeing Su Youning walking in a hurry, he said coldly.

Jixiang responded repeatedly and stepped back.

"Yes, I am humble enough to take people out of my humble position."

"Drink this soup!"

Su Youning froze immediately. When did she buy peanut cakes for Chu Yu?

Behind the bamboo slips, Chu Yu's eyes lit up slightly. The moment he put down the bamboo slips, Chu Yu's face returned to coldness and he glanced at the peanut cake.

Chu Yu's dark and unpredictable eyes looked at Shen Moli with a half-smile.

"Chu Yu, let me go!"

"I must put Your Highness's needs first."

Shen Moli calmed down and focused on investigating the case.

Su Youning's face panicked, and she subconsciously reached out to support his chest and struggled.

Shen Moli brought in Tiqi, a full-time recorder from the Arch Guard Department, and said with cupped hands.

Su Youning felt helpless and had an embarrassed smile on her face.

Seeing her retort, Chu Yu's slender arms suddenly pulled Su Youning into his arms.

"Just right here!"

"Su Youning, you'd better be good. If you dare to let Shen Moli touch a finger of yours again, I will chop off his hand."

Su Youning pursed her lips slightly and walked over, sitting on the side of Chu Yu's legs.

Chu Yu glanced at Shen Moli coldly, and a cold voice sounded.

Su Youning found it funny, why did she become the extra person?

However, she couldn't stand the drama of Nan Xiang and Chu Yu's deep love. Suppressing the looming sourness in her heart, Su Youning stepped forward and saluted with a slight smile.

"Your Highness, do you want to try the peanut cake that the princess bought for you at Zisu Zhai at noon?"

"You are always afraid of heat. Put down the soup and go back to Wutong Garden to rest."

"Master Shen is busy with official duties, and the princess must cooperate with you!"

Shen Moli put down the bamboo slips and showed a smile.

Chu Yu's eyes were red, and his mind was filled with images of Shen Moli and her together.

Chu Yu raised his hand and gently tucked the broken hair of Su Youning's temples behind his ears, and his delicate eyebrows were dyed with a demonic and sarcastic smile.

Chu Yu's voice sounded again.

Half a quarter of an hour later, under the guidance of Aunt Gusu, Princess Nanxiang came in with a cup of mung bean and lily soup to relieve the heat.

"I didn't know that the princess was so considerate. She even knew that I loved eating peanut cakes."

"Go to Luoxue Pavilion and invite Princess Yu to come over."

Su Youning raised her eyes and looked at the cup of soup with a soft edge. Then she looked at Chu Yu and picked up the bamboo slip again. It seemed that the person who just spoke was not him.

Su Youning wrung her fingers nervously, but her body moved forward subconsciously.

Shen Moli's eyes tightened, and he calmly began to ask questions about the guards and servants about the assassins in Prince Riyu's Mansion.

One more person?

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness."

Nan Xiang spoke on his own without waiting for Chu Yu's arrangement. Then his eyes fell on Su Youning who was aside, and he raised his eyebrows and said coquettishly.

"Zelan, go to Wutong Garden!"

Only Chu Yu and Su Youning were left in the study.

"yes."

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. It's just that the heat is extremely hot today, and You Ning has a bad appetite, so I'll go back to Luo Xue Pavilion first."

After hearing this, Su Youning stiffened slightly and disappeared on the trail in an instant.

Shen Moli was asking questions not far from Ruantan. He could sense every move of Chu Yu and Su Youning.

Nan Xiang was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Youning sitting next to Chu Yu, his eyes flashed with disappointment, but he only smiled playfully.

Entering the study room and looking at Chu Yu and Su Youning on the soft couch, her face froze, the hand holding the soup shook, and she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and spoke delicately.

Shen Moli came back to his senses, and the tension on his face relaxed a little. He could not lose his composure again, otherwise he would harm Su Youning.

Su Youning stood up and followed Shen Moli to the questioning place.

Chu Yu suddenly thought of something, put down the bamboo slips and told Zelan.

"Aren't you most afraid of snakes? Have those poisonous snakes attacked you?"

After a while, Zelan took Su Youning into the main courtyard, and this time Ji Xiang Ruyi was allowed to wait outside the study.

He turned around and left the main courtyard wisely.

Su Youning looked at Shen Moli warily, and was too puzzled by his occasional concern for Su Youning in this life.

Su Youning walked over and sat where he was just now.

Su Youning's face was extremely ugly. What kind of old lover? Didn't he have a playful and innocent princess?

"Your Highness is joking, the word "old lover" is really ridiculous!"

"Brother Yu, it's really hot today. Nanxiang has prepared soup to reduce the heat. Please use some."

"What? Does it hurt that I treat your old lover like this?"

Just when Su Youning was hesitant, Ji Xiang bravely came in with a plate of snacks.

Looking at Su Youning, who was holding a pottery cup and covering her face while drinking soup, a smile appeared on Chu Yu's face, but there was a hint of playfulness in his tone.

Chu Yu ignored Su Youning and continued to look at the bamboo slips.

"Your Highness, others have already asked questions. Now I want to question Princess Yu."

In the study room of the main courtyard.

Chu Yu chuckled after hearing this.

The sudden interruption made Chu Yu's eyes cold. With Zelan's help, he sat on the couch and said coldly.

"Closer!"

"Princess Yu, let's go together too. Aunt Gusu is more prepared, so it doesn't hurt to have one more person."

Chu Yu lay on his side on the couch, holding his face with one hand and flipping through the bamboo slips, but he didn't even read what was written on the bamboo slips.

"What a pity! You are now a member of this palace, and no matter how courageous your old lover is, he would not dare to snatch a woman from my hands!"

In desperation, Shen Moli forgot the etiquette.

"Princess Yu is also one of the victims. Master Shen will have to question her carefully later."

The more he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, the more he couldn't calm down, and his questions became more and more perfunctory. Shen Moli couldn't hold back the teasing going back and forth on the soft couch.

Zelan took the order and exited.

"come over."

Ruyi was holding the medicinal materials, and Jixiang was holding the peanut cakes. They both sighed silently at the same time, and then quickly followed their master's footsteps.

Chu Yu patted the position beside the soft couch towards Su Youning.

Chu Yu's cold voice came from behind.

Su Youning didn't answer much. She didn't know the weapons, hidden weapons, or martial arts methods. She just talked about the poisonous snakes that swarmed into the wing with the assassins. Shen Moli's face became tense at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his questioning voice also had a trace of

Trembling and worried.

"Yes, Nanxiang listens to brother Yu."

Chu Yu ordered with a cold face.

"Master Shen seems to have frightened my princess by asking too many questions!"

"Your Highness, is there a place in Prince Yu's palace to ask questions?"

Shen Moli was not surprised. Chu Yu would naturally be present when he asked him. He was here to find out the mastermind behind the assassin. Chu Yu's presence or absence had no effect on him.

"Let it go!"

His arms tightly held Su Youning's shoulders, and he could easily subdue her even if his legs were inconvenient.

Chu Yu subconsciously thought that this was due to his possessiveness. Even if the person he didn't like was in name only Princess Yu, no one else could get involved!

Su Youning froze. When did Shen Moli touch her?

Chu Yu thought that Su Youning was really afraid that he would hurt Shen Moli, so he stopped struggling, and his anger instantly rose.

He let go of his hand and looked at Su Youning's slightly lost eyes. He reached out and clamped Su Youning's fair neck, his voice was gloomy and confusing.

"Worried about an old flame? Damn it!"

The next second, Su Youning's pupils suddenly dilated, and the cold thin lips on his lips made Su Youning's head go blank instantly!

"Hmm"
