Listening to the sound of things being swept away, Housekeeper Zhou knew that what he was worried about had really happened. After so many years, he still knew what his prince was like. Although he could be angry, never once had he been able to stay in seclusion like this. He had used all of his manpower to search the entire city, and he hadn't even entered the morning assembly yet.

This kind of prince had already completely broken away from the personality that he should have.

From the looks of it, he should think of a way to find that expert. That expert was the one who resolved the situation, so this time, that expert should be able to do the same!

Thinking of this, Housekeeper Zhou turned around and walked out.

The palace entrance.

Beichen gently said to Situ Ai, "Ai Ai, be careful on your way."

Situ Ai's small face showed his dissatisfaction. He stretched his neck and looked around, but he still couldn't see the figure of Duke Bei Chen. Xiao Yu couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Princess, the Third Marquis won't come."

Situ Ai turned to glare at her, but no matter how she looked at it, there was still no Duke Bei Chen. In the end, she stomped her feet and said, "Big brother Jue actually didn't come to send me off."

Beichen didn't say anything, only gently smiled.

After waiting for a long time, Situ Ai finally reluctantly got into the carriage and said to Beichen: "Uncle Beichen, help me tell elder brother to come find him when I come up with a way to understand Gu worms. When that time comes, I must get him to marry me."

Bei Zhen Yan said: "I will definitely help Ai Ai Hui pass on the message." He paused for a moment before saying, "Say hello to your royal father and mother for me."

Situ Ai nodded and spoke a few more words before Xiao Yu took the carriage and left.

Looking at the horse carriage leaving, Beichen's smile disappeared from his face. He asked the person beside him, "How is it?"

That person lowered his head and replied, "Reporting to the emperor, the Second Prince is currently searching house by house."

Bei Chenyan snorted, "Don't bother with him, why don't you summon him to the palace for me."

That person said, "Yes." before leaving.

Su Nuo had never felt that the meal was a comfortable one, or was it in such a beautiful place.

Duke Bei Chen gave Su Nuo a coquettish smile, and his peach blossom eyes looked up: "Xiao Nuo, you're smiling at me like that, could it be that you've fallen in love with me?"

Su Nuo avoided replying, "Third Marquis, it's getting late. We should head back."

Duke Bei Chen did not pursue the matter further, but looked at the sky, and said: "Yes, we need to go back. Otherwise, Xiao Nuo and I will be sleeping on the mountain." Saying this, he took Su Nuo's hand and walked down the mountain.

It was as if this action had become a habit in such a short period of time. Su Nuo could not tell what kind of feeling Duke Bei Chen had when he held her hand, but no matter what, a sense of security existed.

It was as if she knew that even if all the people in the world did not want her, the person in front of her would still treat her like a treasure and use all the gentleness of his life to treat her well.

However, how could she accept this in peace? It was built by this person, so how could she enjoy it in peace? She couldn't do it, no matter what.

Su Nuo bit down hard on her lips, and couldn't help but to hold the hand of Duke Bei Chen.

The Duke of Northern Chen felt the change and turned around to give a smile.

The sky slowly darkened, making it difficult to walk on the mountain path. Thus, when they returned to the courtyard, it was already very dark.

But luckily they had eaten dinner with the old man, she thought. With her aching body, she really didn't want to move.

Su Nuo smiled. Look, as long as she was by this person's side, even in such a short period of time, she would have already forgotten her identity and become lazy.

When she was young, she was the same. Although she called that man the Third Marquis by his name, as long as that person was by her side, she would unconsciously revive. If she didn't want to, she would glare at him.

When she grew up, she became a bit more restrained. When she was young, it was true, but when she was angry, she really became angry. She never said a word to that person, letting that person pester her and say all the good things.

Su Nuo smiled, only feeling bitter.

Just how selfish she was to depend on that person, yet the person she hurt the most was also that person.

How could he be so selfish?

"Little Nono." The Duke of Beichen suddenly walked in with a basin of water and placed it at Su Nuo's feet.

Su Nuo was alarmed and quickly stood up. "Third Marquis, what are you doing?"

The Duke of Beichen's eyebrows twitched, and a smile appeared on his face, "Of course it's to wash little Nuo's feet, and also to eat little Nuo's tofu."

Su Nuo quickly pulled Lord Bei Chen up and firmly said, "I cannot accept what the Third Marquis has done."

"Little Nono." The only difference was that this time, Su Nuo's attitude was exceptionally firm.

As a female slave, she knew a bit about herself.

"Fine." The Duke of Beichen could only compromise.

The night was quiet again, heavy, as if something was about to cut through the night sky, but in the end there was only a desolate silence.

Housekeeper Zhou stood outside, taking a deep breath to knock on the closed door. This was because the facts proved that his unexplainable unease was correct. From the beginning of the morning, the Emperor had already proclaimed that his prince would enter the palace.

"Come in." Beichen's cold and anxious voice came from inside. Hearing his voice, Housekeeper Zhou felt his legs go soft, but he still went in.

Bei Chenghan looked at him like a ferocious beast scanning him. Housekeeper Zhou swallowed his saliva. "My prince, the emperor has sent someone to call you into the palace."

Beichen snorted coldly, "What that old man wants to do is his business."

Housekeeper Zhou carefully looked at Beichen's face. There was no expression on his face, but the restlessness on his face was showing more and more clearly on his prince's face. Housekeeper Zhou hesitantly said: "My lord, I believe that my prince's current foundation is not completely stable. Although the emperor doesn't dare to rashly make a move on my lord, if my prince is halfway —" Housekeeper Zhou did not finish his sentence, he paused and looked at Bei Chenhan's face, then continued: "So, I still think that my prince should go to the palace. At least my lord will not be able to find any clues about him. This way, when my prince comes back, he can wholeheartedly find — Su Nuo."

Bei Chen Han's eyes turned cold: "Xiao'er! That old fox must have known where Noel was. " He mumbled to himself. Suddenly, he said to Housekeeper Zhou, "Get ready for This King. This King needs to enter the palace immediately."

Housekeeper Zhou was instantly happy. He quickly said: "Yes." Just as he finished speaking, he had already disappeared.

Indeed, it wasn't easy for his prince to reach his current state. How could he just sit by and watch his prince fall into danger?

The palace.

Bei Chenyan stood there, and upon seeing Bei Chenhan walk over, he said, "I thought you wouldn't come." There was nothing special about his expression, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

Bei Chenghan just looked at him coldly, with no intention of bowing. Actually, the beautiful facade had all been stripped away on that day. There was no gentle smile, no love, no concern, no respect. There was only cold and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time.

All of this was clearly displayed now.

"Where's Norrell?" Bei Chen Han asked, looking at Bei Chen Yan with a sharp gaze.

Bei Chen Yan's face was filled with surprise: "Xiao'er? Do you think I know where Su Nuo is? Su Nuo is your lucky star. How would I know? "

Bei Chen Han narrowed his eyes and said: "No matter where you hide Na Nuo, I will definitely find her."

Bei Chen Yan suddenly laughed mockingly: "Maybe Su Nuo did it voluntarily."

"Impossible." Bei Chen Han cut him off: "Xiao'er is mine, she won't leave me."

Bei Chen Yan turned around, as though he didn't want to be entangled with him on this issue. Bei Chen Han was trying his best to endure, but there was still a fierce look on his face, as if the person standing in front of him was his enemy and not his father.

Suddenly, Bei Chen Yan said: "I'll tell you now, I don't care what happens to Su Nuo, but if you have ulterior motives towards a female slave, then I won't be able to avoid you so easily."

Bei Chen Han didn't care at all, there was naked disdain in his eyes, and Bei Chen Yan who had his back facing him did not see it. Without waiting for Beichen Yan to say anything, he turned around and left.

It was as if Bei Chenyan's words were nothing but contempt, and he did not put it in his heart at all.

When Housekeeper Zhou saw Beichen's return from the palace, the burden that had been weighing on his heart was lifted. However, when he saw that Beichen return, he immediately shut himself in his room and sighed heavily.

He kept having the feeling that this time's matter would not be resolved so easily, but he didn't know what else would happen, and what he could do was pray that Su Nuo would return before the Prince's situation became even more serious, or else —

In the middle of her sleep, Su Nuo felt warm all over. Although it was the beginning of autumn and the weather wasn't considered cold, it was still warm somehow.

Su Nuo vaguely stretched out her hand to touch it, then touched her firm chest, and then she touched it up. It was a person's face. Suddenly, Su Nuo woke up.

Duke Bei Chen held Su Nuo from behind, buried his face in Su Nuo's neck, and said in a spoiled tone, "Xiao Nuo, I'm sleeping so cold." As he said that, he held Su Nuo tighter in his arms.

Su Nuo felt her entire body stiffen. Besides her master, no one else had hugged her like this. Furthermore, other than her master, she did not want anyone else to.

"Third Marquis — —" Su Nuo tried to coax Duke Beichen back. She remembered that when this person was young, as long as she said something nice, no matter what it was, this person would immediately do it.

The Duke of Beichen's body moved a little, and stuck even more closely to Su Nuo. It was as if his entire body was glued to her: "Little Nuo." Another long sound, like a wronged child who couldn't eat sugar.

Su Nuo wanted to say something, but hearing such a shout, she couldn't say anything. This kind of shameless person who would occasionally act coquettishly in front of her could only make her heart ache.

"Go to sleep." In the end, Su Nuo could only indulgently spit out these two words.

The Duke of Beichen was immediately happy. He hugged Su Nuo tightly and whispered into her ear, "Little Nuo is really good."
