The moment the marriage decree was finalized, Xiao Huayong's knuckles hanging at the bottom of his sleeves tightened almost imperceptibly, and he couldn't hide the secret joy in his heart - he finally won this long-running game with the princes, and finally married Shen Xihe into his destined marriage.That night, he stayed in Shen's house and refused to leave on the pretext of sending her back home. He kept talking about her nickname "YoYo%", and when he left, he took away the plain silk handkerchief on her desk.This square handkerchief was embroidered with a few strands of elegant fairy ribbon patterns. He held it in his arms all night and could not sleep. His fingertips touched the fine stitches, and he was convinced that Shen Xihe had already fallen in love with him at first sight.
The next day, Bu Shulin forced Shen Xihe to go to a wine shop for a drink. After three rounds of drinking, his eyes became red. He was afraid that Shen Xihe would be busy with the East Palace after their marriage and would have no one to chat with him in the future.Shen tide tapped the wine jar with his fingertips and joked, saying that Cui Jinbai always ran into him in the streets they passed by recently, and they were obviously thinking about him. As soon as they finished speaking, Cui Jinbai walked slowly from across the street.Bu Shulin was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the wine flag. For the next few days, he would bump into Cui Jinbai wherever he went, but he didn't know that Cui Jinbai was in a state of panic. After the unexpected skin-to-skin kiss between the two last time, a strange feeling quietly arose in his heart. But he asked himself repeatedly, Bu Shulin was clearly a man, how could this intention have any effect?

Cui Jinbai was distracted all day long, and Xiao Huayong revealed his thoughts with just one word, saying that he had already moved his heart. Finally, he asked Ruobu Shulin, "If you are not a man, how will you treat him?"Cui Jinbai suddenly froze on the spot. After learning the truth that Bu Shulin was originally a daughter, his whole body felt like being struck by lightning. He stayed in place for a long time, and his emotions surged so much that they almost broke through his chest.That night, Xiao Huayong arranged a grand lantern party full of affection for Shen Xihe. The lanterns in the corridor were all hand-painted by him with the scene of the two's first encounter. Shen Xihe looked at the details in the lanterns and felt warm in his heart.

But when the two were separated, a group of men in black suddenly came out of the darkness. At first, Xiao Huayong deliberately concealed his martial arts. It was not until he was injured on his shoulder that he stopped hiding it and quietly killed all the men in black with his sword through the fire ignited around him.Shen Xihe hurried to his side, her fingertips touched his wounds, her eyes filled with uncontrollable worry.Coinciding with the death anniversary of Nanzhou Kingdom, Li Yan put on a black robe and quietly left the city, but was caught by Shen Xihe.
Xiao Huayong was certain that the princess was definitely not an accomplice of the man in black who was assassinated tonight, but she was just out of the city to pay homage to her old friend.Shen Xihe casually mentioned that he had always been particularly sensitive to smells and could recognize acquaintances just by the fragrance on their bodies. This made Xiao Huayong's heart suddenly sink - he suddenly remembered that when he appeared in front of her pretending to be an embroiderer, the scent of galaxol on his body was the same as that of the betrothal bracelet he gave, so she might have discovered his identity already.Before he could clear his mind, the cold poison that had been dormant for many years suddenly broke out. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground. This incident immediately alarmed the emperor, and the dignitaries from all over the dynasty came to visit the East Palace one after another.
The imperial doctor was helpless and could only risk a chance of survival by using medicinal baths and acupuncture.The emperor looked at the pale prince on the couch and turned to ask Shen Xihe if it was still too late to change his mind. Shen Xihe was firm and confessed that he had made up his mind for Xiao Huayong and would never leave him no matter life or death.Xiao Huayong recited her baby name repeatedly in his nightmare. His body was as cold as a piece of cold jade, and even the charcoal fire in the palace could not warm him. Shen Xihe took off his outer clothes and pressed her body temperature tightly against him to dispel the chill that penetrated his bones.
On the second day, Xiao Huayong's cold poison was barely stable. When Shen Xihe returned to Shen Mansion, what greeted her was the marriage decree written by the Holy Emperor.Xiao Huayong, who had just woken up in the East Palace, asked his attendant Tianyuan in the first sentence whether he had recovered the Jialuo incense bracelet he had given to Shen Xihe earlier. The answer he got made him feel cold - the bracelet had been noticed by Shen Xihe for a long time. She recognized that the Jialuo incense was the smell of the embroiderer, the aftertaste of the fairy sash-patterned handkerchief, and the unique aura of the owner of the mysterious organization.She was shocked to realize that the prince, who usually seemed to be frail and sick, actually controlled a mysterious organization with huge power behind him, and his martial arts were unfathomable. She felt an indescribable disappointment in her heart. She had thought she could stand side by side with him, but now she realized that she had no control over him.
Regardless of his still recovering body, Xiao Huayong hurried to Shen's Mansion to explain to her that although he met her by chance for the first time and later deliberately approached her because of Rouge Lu, it was all sincere.Those days when he lied about leaving Beijing to work on business, but in fact he was searching the world for her to find an antidote. The reason he secretly practiced martial arts was to find the enemy who gave him the cold poison many years ago.But Shen Xihe still couldn't let go, fearing that his ambition would eventually be aimed at the Shen family, and he would immediately break off the engagement.

How could Xiao Huayong let her go and hold her tightly in his arms from behind, but Shen Xihe's thoughts were already overwhelming.
