The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Husband and Wife Do Not Doubt
When Chu Yanzhi found Xiao Xiwei, she was standing by the hot spring pond in the backyard. Under the moonlight of the silver moon, her pale cheeks did not have a trace of blood. She stared coldly at the surface of the pond in front of her.

“Xiwei, what are you doing?” Chu Yanzhi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly went forward to pull her back, but was blocked by her cold gaze.

“Miss, don’t do anything stupid.” Hong Yu also stepped forward worriedly to persuade him.

Xiao Xiwei smiled coldly and stared at Chu Yanzhi coldly. “What, do you think I’m going to commit suicide?”

Chu Yan was stunned, and an indescribable feeling suddenly surged out of his heart, “Xi Wei …”

‘”However, I was underestimated for a moment. What’s wrong? I, Xiao Xiwei, am nothing but a woman in the eyes of the world. If that’s the case, why would I want to die?” The corners of Xiao Xi’s lips curved upwards. Although there was a smile on her face, every word she spat out carried an indescribable icy coldness and mockery.

Chu Yanzhi’s face sank and his thin lips curled into a line. “Xiwei, I didn’t know he had such thoughts towards you. If I knew …”

“So what if you know? Didn’t you personally see him attack me in the Duke Lu’s Mansion last time? “But you didn’t do anything” At this point, Xiao Xiwei’s eyes turned red. Large drops of tears rolled down like broken beads. “He’s your brother, then I … What am I?” Everything that happened today was the result of you indulging him … You still said you wanted to protect me? That’s how you protected me … ”

These words caused Chu Yanzhi’s heart to twitch. He raised his foot a few steps and reached out to pull Xiao Xiwei into his embrace, but she suddenly took a few steps back. He couldn’t help but feel even more sad. “Xiwei, I swear that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Hong Yu seemed to understand what had just happened. She hurriedly walked forward to Xiao Xiwei and stretched out her hand to tighten the cloak on her body. Her eyes were red as she said, “Miss, I don’t blame His Highness the Crown Prince. It’s all because of this servant’s carelessness.”

Xiao Xiwei, who was nestled in Hong Yu’s embrace, trembled slightly. However, she still stared at Chu Yanzhi with resentment. She did not dissipate the resentment towards Chu Yanzhi in her heart because of Hong Yu’s words.

Hong Yu frowned and looked sideways at Chu Yanzhi, who was frozen in place. Then, he turned to Xiao Xi and whispered, “Miss, tonight is the wedding of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess …”

Xiao Xiwei was stunned, as if he had noticed the bright red color on Chu Yanzhi’s body.

Sensing the relaxation in Xiao Xiwei’s eyes, Chu Yanzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Xiwei, don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter.”

Xiao Xi pursed her lips slightly and slowly lowered her eyes without saying anything.

Seeing this, Hong Yu whispered a few words into Xiao Xiwei’s ears. After Xiao Xiwei heard this, he raised his head and looked at Chu Yan in surprise. Then, his expression gradually relaxed.

“Your Highness, please return to the palace immediately.” At this moment, the guards who were chasing after Chu Yan finally arrived.

Xiao Xiwei’s eyebrows twitched and he subconsciously said, “Did you alert Father Emperor?”

Most of the guards chasing after Chu Yanzhi were his personal guards. How could they not know about the relationship between the Crown Prince and Xiao Xiwei? He was a little surprised that Xiao Xiwei would actually ask, but he was surprised. However, her identity was there. Moreover, the Crown Prince had even left the newly married Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace for her tonight. Therefore, although he was dissatisfied, he still raised his hand and replied, “Not yet. However, if His Highness does not return, it will probably be difficult to say.”

“Shut up!” Chu Yanzhi shouted coldly as if he had heard the disrespect that person had shown Xiao Xiwei.

“Forget it.” Xiao Xiwei frowned slightly and stopped Chu Yanzhi, “I still have to thank His Highness for rushing over to save me today. I was rude just now.” As she spoke, she released Hong Yu’s hand and slightly bowed to Chu Yanzhi.

Seeing that Xiao Xiwei’s expression had eased up and there was no more irony in his words, Chu Yanzhi did not feel relieved. “It’s good that you don’t blame me.”

“Your Highness.” These people who came to chase after Chu Yanzhi were all his trusted aides. Seeing that Chu Yanzhi still had no intention of returning to the palace, they couldn’t help but urge him to shout again.

“I’m fine now. Your Highness should go back.” Xiao Xiwei stood up and looked at Chu Yanzhi with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Chu Yanzhi couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, it will be fine.”

Although he really wanted to stay here, he also knew that there were still many things waiting for him to do in the Eastern Palace.

Xiao Xi slightly pursed his lips and smiled. Then, he blessed Chu Yanzhi’s body.

Chu Yanzhi reached out and helped Xiao Xiwei up. He reached out and helped her deal with the messy green silk beside her ears. Only then did he sigh, “I will bring you back to the capital as soon as possible. Don’t think too much about it, and rest your body properly.”

“I know.” Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes and answered meekly.

Chu Yanzhi smiled and then turned around to leave.

“Your Highness.” At this time, Hong Yu, who was beside Xiao Xiwei, suddenly shouted.

Chu Yanzhi paused and turned around.

“Your Highness, then … in that room …” A hint of panic flashed through Hong Yu’s usually calm and cold gaze as she looked at Chu Yanzhi with a hint of pleading.

Chu Yanzhi’s face darkened. Then, he waved his hand to the back and whispered a few words into that person’s ear. That person’s expression suddenly changed, “Go, deal with it properly. This palace will naturally not mistreat you.”

That person looked at Chu Yan and finally retreated.

“Let’s go.” After explaining everything, Chu Yanzhi finally opened his mouth again and hurriedly left the Hot Spring Villa with a few guards chasing after him.

They had to rush into the city before dawn to avoid being discovered by the emperor.

Lu Haiyang had already been removed from the room, but the blood stains on the corner of the table and the floor were still there. She thought that news would come from the capital tomorrow morning that Prince Lu Haiyang, the second young master of the Duke of Lu Manor, had accidentally injured his head while riding on a drunk horse at the wedding banquet …

Everything that happened today will be buried.

Including his meeting with Xizhi.

“What are you thinking? Are you reluctant to let him go?” A low voice sounded with a hint of displeasure.

Xiao Xiwei raised her eyebrows and turned around, “Shouldn’t you ask Ye? The person he saw was not me.”

Hearing Xiao Xiwei’s words, Chu Xizhi nodded and said, “Yes …” With that, he had already walked to Xiao Xiwei’s side and stopped. His gaze was as if he was looking at the pool of dried and frozen blood on the floor, but it was also as if he was looking at an unknown place through the pool of blood. “Wei’er, what are you thinking …”

Although he and Xiwei had set such a trap together, If Chu Yanzhi saw Lu Haiyang humiliate Xiwei with his own eyes, he would definitely be unable to restrain himself from attacking Lu Haiyang with his rage. At this moment, the hidden silver needle quietly killed Lu Haiyang under the cover of darkness. However, he did not expect that Chu Yanzhi would actually do such a vicious thing to Lu Haiyang …

He really wanted to kill Lu Haiyang.

A subordinate, counselor, or even brother who had supported him for many years and advised him. However, he still attacked him.

Because of Xiwei.

Xiao Xiwei reached out and gently grabbed Chu Xizhi’s finger. He looked up at Chu Xizhi and smiled softly. “I was thinking, they didn’t say anything wrong about me. I am indeed a vicious woman.” At this point, her eyes suddenly became wet. “Xi Zhi, do you still like me like this?”

Chu Xi was stunned. She hurriedly reached out and hugged Xiao Xi in her arms. “Silly girl, I love you! I like your appearance, voice, intelligence, everything, even your malicious heart … If you really are malicious.” Chu Xizhi gently stroked the green silk hanging behind Xiao Xi’s head and lightly sighed.

How could a malicious person shed tears because of the lives and deaths of others …

Hearing Chu Xizhi’s words, Xiao Xi pursed her lips and silently buried her face into his chest. It seemed that only in this way could the panic and fear that suddenly surged out of her heart be calmed down.

She admitted that she was scheming and was really unscrupulous about certain people and things. However, when she saw Lu Haiyang carrying him out of the room with a bloody face, when she saw the blood stains all over the floor, when she heard what Chu Xizhi said, she suddenly felt a little scared …

Was he starting to dislike her for being so unscrupulous? Beginning to suspect her? You don’t trust her anymore? She wanted to tell him that she did this for him, but looking at the pool of blood on the ground, she suddenly couldn’t open her mouth …

“Wei’er, I didn’t doubt you … I’m just, I’m just jealous.” As if he had guessed why she was so frightened, Chu Xizhi hugged Xiao Xiwei and heavily sighed. He tried to explain what he had just said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that Night had pressed on me, I would have almost rushed out and crippled him!” As Chu Xizhi spoke, a trace of sinister coldness burst out from the depths of his eyes.

After Xiao Xiwei, who was buried in his embrace, heard his words, she seemed to recall his expression when he had been pressed down by the night. She couldn’t help but laugh and hurriedly raised her hand to pound his chest. “It was not easy for me to pretend to be weak and lovely. Why are you so confused?”

“So I misunderstood madam? Then I really should fight. Otherwise, madam, you can vent your anger on me by hitting a few more of them.” Seeing her smile, Chu Xizhi couldn’t help but laugh. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiwei’s hand and pressed it on his chest.

“Stop messing around.” Xiao Xiwei frowned and glared at him.

Being pulled back and forth by him, the panic and suspicion in his heart were completely dispersed.

Yeah, why would she doubt his affection for her? For her sake, he even ignored Jiang Shan and desperately wanted to take her away from Chao An Temple. How could he be suspicious of her because of this?

Chu Xi smiled as he held Xiao Xiwei’s hand and said, “What nonsense? I’m serious.”

Xiao Xiwei pursed the corners of his lips and reached out to wrap his hands around Chu Xizhi’s waist. He placed his face on his chest and said, “Xizhi, you must not know how much I care about you … I’m so glad that we can start over.”

You make me feel that this world is not as cold as I thought.

It turns out that there are still people who are willing to give me such unreserved love
