Chu Monan sat beside the couch and stretched out his hand to reach her forehead.

His hand stopped in the air, then slowly lowered it.

Chu Wanxiang seemed to be aware of his approach, and suddenly opened his eyes, meeting Chu Monan's deep and dark black pupils.

Eyes facing each other.

Chu Monan narrowed his eyes, stood up and left.

Chu Monan walked to the door and paused: "Xiangxiang, take good care of your health. I will come to see you again." He turned around and left quickly, his back hurried and lonely, as if he was afraid of something and did not dare to look back.

As soon as he left, Chu Wanxiang collapsed on the couch, his eyes sore and hot.

"Xiangxiang." A familiar cry resounded through the sky, making people feel heartbroken.

Chu Wanxiang suddenly came to her senses. She rushed to the window, opened it, and saw a slender figure climbing over the wall.

The man stood under the eaves, wearing a snow-white robe, and he was handsome and elegant under the moonlight. He smiled at her, and smiled softly: "Xiangxiang, long time no see, how are you?"

Chu Wanxiang's nose felt sore and he choked, "Second brother, I'm fine."

"That's great..." Chu Mohan breathed a sigh of relief, "Father, mother and concubine are all worried about you."

Chu Wanxiang wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "It's great that you are here. I thought you..."

"Think I'm dead?" Chu Mohan laughed, "How could I be willing to leave you alone. I promised my father, mother and concubine that I would protect you."

Chu Wanxiang nodded, feeling warm in his heart.

"Let's go inside and talk about it later." He took her hand, helped her onto the bed, lay down, and tucked her into the bed. "Are you scared today? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chu Wanxiang shook his head and looked at him with a smile.

Chu Mohan sat on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a calm tone, "Have you been in danger during my absence?"

"No, I'm safe, don't worry." Chu Wanxiang said.

Chu Mohan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and thought: "Since you are fine, why don't you go to me? Do you know how worried I am about you?"

"If you won't tell me your identity, how can I find you?" Chu Wanxiang said, "Besides, I'm afraid that if I go to find you, I'll hurt you."

She is a princess of the royal family, and the royal family will definitely investigate this matter. As a prince, he is weak and unable to resist the power of the imperial power. He does not want to get burned because of her, so he always hides the truth from her. She does not resent him for hiding it,

I'm just worried that it will hurt him.

When Chu Mohan heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

"You don't have to worry about me..." He smiled bitterly, "The thing I am least afraid of in this world is the royal family."

Chu Wanxiang's eyes trembled slightly: "Why?"

Chu Mohan did not answer immediately. After a long time, he said calmly: "Brother Huang has ascended the throne. I don't want to participate in the fight anymore, so I fled the world and played life. Unexpectedly, I was trapped in the palace." He looked at Chu Wanxiang's face.

Eyes, word by word, "I miss you, Xiangxiang."

Chu Wanxiang's heart softened. He used to pamper her so much, but now he was left to fight alone. How could she not feel distressed?

"I will stay with you, second brother." She said softly, "We will get through this difficult time together."

"Okay." He smiled.

He walked out of the palace and asked the palace maid to prepare a meal and send it to her room.

At the dinner table, Chu Monan watched Chu Wanxiang finish eating. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains on her lips. His tone was as gentle as the spring breeze: "You are injured, you should pay more attention to your health."

Chu Wanxiang nodded.

"The emperor will not give up. You have to be careful." Chu Monan frowned and warned.

Chu Wanxiang held his hand and said firmly: "I will not back down. Even if the emperor comes in person, I will never let him touch you."

Chu Monan raised his eyes and looked at her.

Under the lamp, her face has bright and clear outlines, and her eyes are bright and clear, like stars.

At this moment, he vaguely remembered that she looked like this when he first met her. At that time, she was the only girl he wanted to marry, and she was also the one he was willing to protect with all his heart.

pity

As fate would have it, she fell in love with his cousin. Her beauty attracted the admiration of men all over the world, so she married him, and since then she has been homeless and suffering.

"Xiangxiang..." He called her name.

"Um?"

"If... you don't want to stay in this palace, I will take you away." Chu Monan stared at her.

Chu Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Second brother, no. The emperor will deal with you. Once he makes an order, no one can resist it. By then, neither of us will be able to escape."

Chu Mohan pursed his lips.

Chu Wanxiang patted him on the shoulder: "It's good for us now, and I'm used to this comfortable life. Although we can't leave the palace, we can still be together every day. I like the sound of your piano, you play so beautifully

.”

Chu Mohan sighed slightly: "Xiangxiang, you know, I have always wanted to take you away from here."

"Why?"

"I don't want you to stay in this cage, and I don't want you to be afraid every day."

"But……"

Chu Mohan held her palm and rubbed it gently: "Xiangxiang, I will protect you."

Chu Wanxiang was silent for a moment, then slowly approached, hugged his waist, and put her cheek against his chest.

"Second brother, thank you." she said, "I will take care of myself."

"Xiangxiang..." Chu Mohan murmured. He put his arms around her body and whispered, "Don't reject my feelings, don't leave me again, okay?"

"Second brother!" She pushed him away, "Don't talk nonsense, we will never be separated."

He looked at her deeply, his eyes complex and lingering: "Yes."

Early the next morning, Chu Wanxiang woke up and Chu Mohan was no longer in the room.

They talked for a long time last night and fell asleep unconsciously.

Chu Wanxiang finished washing and was about to walk to the front yard when he suddenly heard someone reporting.

"Your Majesty, the Second Highness is here," the palace maid said.

Chu Wanxiang was slightly surprised: "Invite him in."

"yes."

Chu Mohan stepped into the house, saw Chu Wanxiang standing in front of the mirror, and hurriedly came over.

"You're here, Xiangxiang, have you had breakfast?" Chu Monan asked.

Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "I haven't eaten my breakfast yet. I was just thinking about asking the maid to pass it on."

"We'll eat together later," Chu Monan said.

Chu Wanxiang turned to look at him and asked with a smile: "Are you free to come and see me today?"

Chu Monan nodded.

The two sat down.

Chu Monan handed the chopsticks to Chu Wanxiang.

Chu Wanxiang picked up a few flower rolls, chewed them carefully, and suddenly asked: "You are here today not only to visit the doctor, right? If you need anything, please tell me quickly."

Chu Monan saw her open expression and smiled: "There's nothing special. I want to go outside for a walk."

"So simple?" Chu Wanxiang didn't seem to believe it.

Chu Monan said: "You know, the palace is strictly forbidden and I can't get out at all. Besides, you still need me by your side. I want to go shopping and buy some jewelry and clothes. Can you accompany me?"
