As long as it's what the heart desires, there's nowhere that can't be reached. Yan Xijun and Chu Chengming had also made a promise to each other. But life is unpredictable, and unexpected events often accompany joy.

  Three more days. Just three more days and I can leave this place.

  Chu Cheng Meng suddenly remembered an important question. Who was the black-clad man who dared to stop him tonight? So he asked: "Jun Er, you still haven't explained where you went for these two months after leaving the palace. And who is that man from tonight?"

  "Oh, then listen to me tell you slowly." Yan Xijun recounted the events of that day, how she was rescued by Mei, and then met Jing Wang, as well as why she ended up back in the capital city. She told him everything from start to finish.

  In the end, Yan Xijun was shocked to realize that in just two short months, many unexpected things had happened.

  After listening to her whole story, Chu Cheng Ming rubbed his temples and said: "You're saying that you were rescued by Jing Wang Shu who is far away in the border."

  "Yes. That's when I met him. So that's how I was rescued by them and even taken to the border."

  "Hasn't he always been on the border? This should be his first time back in the capital, right? Why did you run into him again two months ago?"

  "I also don't know what he came back to Beijing for. Anyway, it was indeed him that I met that time."

  "That time his return to Beijing didn't alert anyone. It seems he sneaked back quietly."

  "It should be." Yan Xijun also nodded. Jing Wang secretly returned to Beijing. He must have been doing something that couldn't see the light of day.

  "He knows your true identity, so why didn't he send you to the palace? Could it be that he really has feelings for you and wants to keep you by his side?"

  Yan Xijun felt embarrassed and explained, "Don't listen to Mei's nonsense. It's not like that. The King of Jing kept me by his side just because he wanted me to repay the favor of saving my life."

  "Charming. Chu Cheng Ming's way of 'confusion'. I just heard this name too. How did another man's name come out?"

  "Mo is the one who blocked our way tonight. He's under Jing Wang's command. And he's also the one who saved me."

  "Oh, it's him."

  Yan Xijun feared that he would think wildly again, so she hastily said: "Ming, don't think too much either. Anyway, I'm already with you. The King of Jing won't be able to find us."

  Her words had just fallen when a cold voice came from outside the door: "Is that so? Do you think you can evade this king?"

  As the sound of the door being pushed open from outside grew louder, a handsome man with a face full of anger walked in.

  Seeing the man who suddenly appeared, Yan Xikun was startled and stood up immediately. Flustered, she looked at him. How did he come? Why did he find her so quickly?

  Chu Cheng Meng was also surprised and stood up. At a glance, he saw who the visitor was. It had been more than ten years since then. His handsome appearance hadn't changed. He had only added a few mature qualities.

  Chu Cheng stared intently at the man standing by the gate, his youngest uncle Jing Wang. He was his father's younger half-brother and had also participated in the rebellion back then. Now that he had grown up, he still couldn't kill him. What a useless person.

  Chu Yicheng looked at the two people with different expressions, his sharp eyes scanning them. Then he turned to look at Yan Xijun in anger. He had accidentally seen her laughing and chatting with someone on the upper floor earlier. He found it strange that she was there, and who she was with.

  Thinking of hurrying out of the palace, it's just that I'm afraid she'll be bored staying in the mansion. Want to return to the mansion early to accompany her through New Year's Eve. Who knew that when passing by this wine tower, occasionally raising my head, I unexpectedly saw her through the window.

  She came out and that's it. She dared to have a secret meeting with someone else, spoke ill of him, and that charming guy has gone who-knows-where.

  Chu Yicheng stared at Yan Xijun fiercely, wishing he could severely punish her.

  Yan Xikun's worried thoughts. He came so quickly. Must be Mei who told him. Actually, she also wrongly blamed others. If anyone is to blame, it's her for choosing the wrong room back then, choosing this window-side chamber.

  "Yan Xijun, you have a big nerve! How dare you disobey my orders and sneak out of the mansion? And to make matters worse, you're secretly meeting with another man! You're really asking for it!" Chu Yicheng's eyes were about to spew out flames of jealousy. He took two or three steps forward and was just about to grab her clothes.

  "You're not qualified to touch her." Chu Cheng Ming's body moved, blocking Yan Xi Jun in front of him, shielding her behind his back.

  "Hmph, who are you to say that I'm not qualified? Do you know who I am? With just a wave of my hand, I can have you killed. Do you believe me?" Chu Yicheng said with arrogance, looking at the pale man wearing a hat, his heart filled with anger. How dare he secretly meet with 'his' woman.

  Yan Xijun hastily stepped forward and blocked Chu Chengming's way, looking at Chu Yicong and saying: "You can't move him."

  "Alright. You've grown bold now. How dare you plead for another man in front of me? What is he to you?" Chu Yicheng said angrily, stretching out his hand to pull her into his arms.

  Chu Cheng Ming took a step ahead of him, pulling Yan Xi Jun into his arms and holding her tightly. Then, looking at Chu Yi Cheng with a cold expression, he declared: "I am her future husband. I'm telling you, don't think that just because you're the King of Jing, I'll be afraid of you."

  "Future husband? Ha! You dare to say such a thing. I, Wang, want to see if you're worthy of being her future husband." Chu Yicheng also coldly smiled as he looked at him. The only one who can be her future husband is myself.

  "Whether it's a match or not isn't up to you to decide. I also want to see what the legendary Jing Wang is truly capable of." Chu Cheng Ming lightly pushed open Yan Xi Jun, who had already drawn his sword.

  "Alas." Yan Xi looked at him with concern. She had seen Chu Yicheng's martial arts skills before, and was afraid that Ming would not be able to defeat him.

  The word "Ming" revolved in Chu Yicheng's mind for a moment. He looked at Chu Chengming in surprise. Under the vast sky, there was only one person with the surname Ming, and that was his own nephew, Chu Chengming, who was also conferred as a prince along with him.

  "You are Chu Cheng Ming." Thought of his identity, Chu Yi Cheng asked in surprise.

  Chu Cheng let out a cold laugh and said sternly: "King Jing's uncle is really slow to react, only now recognizing his nephew."

  "Is that so? Has the king's reaction slowed down?" Chu Yicheng calmly picked up a chair and sat down, looking at him and saying: "You're quite bold, daring to linger in the capital. If I'm not mistaken, my imperial brother is searching for you everywhere."

  "It doesn't matter how he is. I dare to come back, which means I'm not afraid of him." Chu Chengming clenched his fists and said angrily.

  "Wow, you're so bold. Dare to be an enemy of the emperor's brother." Chu Yicheng smiled slyly and said: "Since you're not afraid of the emperor's brother's wrath, I'll go find a few people to inform the authorities now. Let the emperor's brother's men take you back."

  "Wait." Yan Xijun rushed over and blocked Chu Yicheng's path, looking at him and saying, "You can't do this."

  "Oh. Then what should I do?" Chu Yicheng crossed his arms and smiled coldly as he asked her.
