One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Baili JinChuan rushed in too fast, only a few bodyguards followed behind him. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were all stunned and didn't know how to react for a while.

Chu Junyi's eyes grew cold as her wrist vibrated with a hidden weapon. She slammed it against the wrist of one of the guards who'd lifted the tent flap to prevent anyone else from entering.

Someone at the door immediately asked, "Your Highness, what is it? Is there something you need?"

"It's fine, there are too many poisonous snakes inside. All of you wait at the door to protect the others, don't come in again." Baili JinChuan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. The coldness in his eyes made him want to kill Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi held Shen Ninghua in her arms. She didn't let go of Shen Ninghua. Instead, they faced off against each other, their auras clashing against Baili JinChuan's. The collision was so intense that it was almost uncontrollable.

Shen Ninghua exerted some force and pulled away from Chu Junyi. She turned to look at Baili JinChuan. "Second Imperial Prince."

Baili JinChuan shifted his gaze onto Shen Ningxia. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Shen Ninghua, you've always refused for my sake. Is it because of this man?"

"So what?" Shen Ninghua's expression was calm, completely ignoring Baili JinChuan's anger.

Chu Junyi was overjoyed to hear that. The touch of Shen Ninghua's skin still lingered on the corner of her lips, and she couldn't help but look at her with a more gentle and pampering gaze.

With a 'shua' sound, he shook off the viper in front of him and walked towards Shen Ninghua. He placed the sword against Chu Junyi's neck and said, "Just because of this pretty boy who only knows how to show off his talent, you have to repeatedly reject my good intentions?"

Chu Junyi lowered her head to sweep the sword at Shen Ninghua's neck. She didn't immediately brush it away. Instead, she turned her head and waited for Shen Ninghua's reaction.

Shen Ninghua's expression turned colder. "I remember telling you, even if no one else was present, I would never agree to marry you."

Baili Jinchuan's fist creaked, "How can I not compare to him? Power, status, or even feelings towards you? Shen Ninghua, I've already given you my all. Is there anything else that you're not satisfied with? "

Shen Ninghua laughed coldly, "Your Highness Second Prince, you said you'd give my heart and lungs. Very well, I'd like to ask, if I hadn't regained my looks and had instead become a lump of black charcoal, would you have taken a fancy to me?"

"I will!"

"You won't! You will think of ways and means to make full use of my talent, but you will definitely not be as attentive to me as you are now! "

"This is not even considered a hypothesis. The moment I see you, you will immediately regain your looks. How can you be sure that I won't fall in love with you, who has a weakness?" Baili JinChuan angrily glared at Shen Ninghua as he shouted in a low voice.

Shen Ninghua smiled, "Okay, this hypothesis doesn't count. Then let me ask you again, even though you're trying to pressure me with your words, you're using Madame Zhou's death to pressure me. You're even trying to destroy my reputation to achieve this goal. What do you say?"

"I've already explained it. Back then, my thoughts were not thoughtful. I've already apologized to you, so why are you still holding on to it?" Baili Jinchuan was getting impatient.

Shen Ninghua looked at him coldly and said with a resolute tone, "This is the reason why I won't choose you." In your heart, if you like me, then I can't reject you. You treat me as a type of spoils of war. If you truly liked me, you would not have used such an impatient tone to speak to me! "

"Just now, I was just being a bit sloppy with my words." The more ordinary it is, the more one can see a person's character. You have never placed me in the same shoes before, so how could you possibly give me the feelings I want? " Shen Ninghua turned his head away, unwilling to look at his expression again.

She slightly moved, and the bite marks on her neck were exposed to Baili JinChuan's eyes!

"You …" Baili JinChuan's eyes were blazing, "No matter how much you say, it's just an excuse. So it turns out that you and this adulterer have a secret relationship!" As he spoke, he felt a wave of betrayal and shame surge through his heart, causing him to suddenly reach out and grab Shen Ninghua's neck.

"I treat you so well, you actually had a relationship with another man behind your back, you … "Damn it!"

Chu Junyi's expression suddenly changed. Her index finger and middle finger gripped the sword tightly and snapped it. She grabbed the broken sword and slashed at the arm that was holding Shen Ninghua!

The sound of the sword slicing through flesh was terrifying. The pain made Baili JinChuan let go of his hand. His eyes fell on Chu Junyi, and he held the sword tightly in his hand. He stabbed it right into her chest!

His momentum was overwhelming, and the broken sword in his hand was like a flood dragon. It flashed with a cold light and struck at Chu Junyi's chest like lightning!

Chu Junyi's eyes flashed with hostility. He twisted his body to avoid the blow, and as the sword stabbed into his shoulder, blood began to flow profusely from his wounds.

"Chu Junyi!" Shen Ninghua was shocked. She hadn't expected Chu Junyi to remain completely unmoved. "Are you stupid? Why aren't you dodging?"

Chu Junyi didn't care about the wound on her chest. She turned her palm and struck at Baili JinChuan's chest.

Seeing that Baili JinChuan had been sent flying, the guards at the entrance raised their spears towards Chu Junyi. Just as they were about to move, they felt a sharp pain in the back of their neck and then they lost consciousness.

The cyan sparrow knocked all the guards out and returned to the bed.

Shen Ninghua helped Chu Junyi up, pulled the covers off the bed, and tore off the cloth to help him bandage the wound.

Chu Junyi stopped her from doing anything. "Ning Hua, there's no need to bandage yourself. Let's hurry up and leave."

"You clearly can dodge it, but why didn't you do so?" Shen Ninghua's heart was filled with anger. This person just said that she didn't care about him, so what did he do now?

Chu Junyi smiled and put his arm around Shen Ninghua's shoulders for him to support himself. "Do you understand how I feel when I see you surrounded by snakes?"

Shen Ninghua frowned and was about to get angry.

Chu Junyi hastened to explain, "I'm a man, so it's only right that I do such things. As a woman, you only need to be in charge of beautiful appearances." I will naturally help you block the danger. "

"You …" Shen Ninghua's heart unconsciously tightened. She had never experienced such a feeling before, so she didn't know how to express it.

Chu Junyi smiled, "Even if I wanted to marry you, I wouldn't do so in a way that would ruin your reputation. Baili JinChuan saw us doing this just now, and if he didn't, he'd put us in a passive position."

"Even if you were injured, wouldn't he say the same thing?"

Chu Junyi grabbed her chest and jumped out of bed, picking out a red-patterned snake with a flat head. "The name of this snake is Red-Ringed Snake. If bitten by it, one will hallucinate."

Shen Ninghua instantly understood what he was thinking, "You're saying that after the Second Prince was bitten by the snake, he hallucinated and mistakenly thought that there was some sort of relationship between the two of us. He used his sword to stab you and injure himself." Shen Ninghua was filled with mixed feelings. When Baili JinChuan saw her and Chu Junyi embracing each other, she immediately thought of the consequences. She had a plan in mind, and that was to marry Chu Junyi to calm the rumors. Yet, he was determined to consider her reputation.

"That's right!"

After Chu Junyi had the venomous snake bite Baili JinChuan, she took out the broken sword from his hand and stabbed the guard. "These guards were killed by the second prince to prevent him from hurting himself."

Shen Ninghua nodded, indicating for Bai Yu to speak.

Bai Yu nodded and screamed, "Save me, His Highness the Second Prince has gone mad!"

Hearing the scream, the guards at the entrance of the tent rushed into the tent.

The Second Prince was lying on the ground, his body covered with blood, while his bodyguards were all over the place, unsure of whether he was dead or alive. Lord Chu, who had just been promoted, had his broken sword stuck in his chest. He fell by Princess Zhao Hua's side.

"Princess, this is … "What's going on?"

Shen Ninghua raised her head, her face a little pale. "Don't worry about that for now. Bring His Highness the Second Prince and Lord Chu out and find an imperial physician!"

Seeing Chu Junyi being carried out, covered in blood, Xiao Huan Xi cried out in alarm, "Brother Jun Yi!"

Shen Ninghua's eyes were cold as she raised her hand to block Xiao Hanxi's path. "Don't touch him. Step back!"

Xiao Huan Xi raised her head, her eyes filled with hatred. "What happened to brother Jun Yi? What did you do to him? Don't stop me, I want to see him! "

Shen Ninghua lost all patience and slapped her across the face, "Are you trying to kill Chu Junyi? "Why are you making a ruckus at this time!"

Xiao Huan Xi was slapped senseless. She covered her face, not knowing how to react.

Shen Ninghua ignored her. "The imperial physician!"

"Princess, this humble subject is here."

"His Highness the Second Prince has been poisoned by the Scarlet Rings Snake. Send someone to look for the antidote. Lord Chu has been injured by the Second Prince's madness. Hurry and find a tent to stop the bleeding and treat him."

"Yes, princess."

Shen Ninghua turned around to look at the guards in the surroundings. "These poisonous snakes have gathered the most around my tent. Use your torches to drive them towards my tent. We will retreat and leave the area where the poisonous snakes are. What about the Fifth and Sixth Princes of Great Yue State?"

Baili Jinze and Bu Jinglan? Everyone was stunned. Only now did they realize that they had not seen the two of them at all.

Shen Ninghua's brows tightly knitted together, "Half of the guards will be going to chase away the poisonous snakes while the other half will search for the two princes!"

"Yes, princess."

With the command from the Society of Condensation, everyone started to move in a hurry. For a while, there was a sense of order in their actions.

Just as everyone was driving the viper away, one of the guards suddenly cried out in alarm:

"I found it. The fifth prince and sixth prince of Great Yue State are both here!"

Shen Ninghua turned around and looked at them. The two of them had lost consciousness and had been bitten by some unknown snake. At this time, there was no time to investigate the reason behind the two of them fainting together. "Carry His Highness up!"

After a full four hours, the group of people finally left the viper's territory. One by one, they collapsed weakly on the ground.

Shen Ninghua turned around to look at his surroundings. Since it was night time, they didn't have the time to carefully determine where they retreated to. Right now, they were surrounded by a forest, with no way to distinguish their directions.
