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

Forgetting the unhappiness that Shen Lingghan had brought to Shen Ninghua, she focused on the situation in front of her. The events at the Mi Lin Manor would definitely attract attention from all four directions, and it was certain that Baili Jinze would be exposed.

Thinking of this senior who had always doted on her, a trace of worry flashed through Shen Ninghua's heart. She turned her head to the side and instructed Bai Mo, "Bai Yu, reorganize the pills I prepared and ensure that there are no mistakes. They might be needed tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss, you can rest assured."

The next morning, after helping Chu Junyi change the bandages on her wounds, she sent a letter to the palace.

With regards to Shen Ninghua's arrival, Baili Qingfeng was slightly surprised, "Why did you come to the palace? Previously, you weren't injured, so you shouldn't take care of yourself. If you leave behind the root of your illness, then you'll regret it."

"Thank you, Imperial Father, for worrying about my daughter. However, I only entered the palace after recuperating from my illness after recuperating from it. I am fine, after all. If I were to pass on my illness to Imperial Father, then it would be death for me."

"You little girl!" Hearing her words, Baili Qingfeng felt his heart pressing heavily against his chest. He nodded his head and walked to the side before sitting down on a chair with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked at her, "Do you know how to play chess?"

Shen Ninghua confidently walked over and took the black chess piece from him. "I know a little about furs, what does Imperial Father say to my third son?"

"Haha, that won't do! Father is testing your chess skills today. Letting you, Hei Zi, to go first is already letting you. Quickly, go."

Shen Ninghua wasn't annoyed by these words. She took the chess pieces and placed them in the center of the chessboard.

Baili Qing laughed, "Do you really know how to play chess?"

Shen Ninghua gave a self-confident smile and imposingly said, "Imperial Father knew that I wouldn't."

Under the influence of her emotions, Baili Qingfeng started to concentrate on playing. Soon, it was already the turn of events on the chess board, filled with killing intent.

Baili Qingfeng looked at the chess board, and his eyes turned slightly darker, "Ninghua, your black chess piece is already in the shallow bank of the Dragon Lake. It will be extremely dangerous if you continue on."

Without panicking, Shen Ninghua landed the chess piece on the chessboard with a "pa" sound and cut the originally imposing and majestic dragon in half.

Baili Qingfeng could not help but feel astonished in his heart, "Isn't that the same as breaking your own arm?"

Shen Ninghua laughed without a care. "Although I've given up some of my forces, I can still bring the dragon head to life, losing a small part of the river and mountains. I can totally abandon these and start anew. What's the pity if I break my own arm?"

A trace of light flashed across Baili Qingfeng's eyes, "What's so unfortunate about breaking one of your own arms? That's right, if we can save the whole situation, cutting off one's own arm would not be too bad. "

Shen Ninghua did not seem to hear Baili Qingfeng's mutterings as his hands continued to drop down. His black dragon body gradually surrounded Bai Zi and the white piece on the board gradually became weaker.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and with a "pa" sound, he dropped a piece. He actually cut the huge black dragon in half from the waist, and Bai Zi instantly gained the upper hand: "Haha, Xiao Hua, you've lost."

"Originally, you had been maintaining your patience, but I was unable to win this round. It's a pity that you are too impatient."

Shen Ninghua smiled as she lowered her head, a blush on her face. With an apologetic look, she said, "Imperial Father, don't cancel me. Even if I have the patience, I won't be able to win." Shen Ninghua said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a game of chess is like a battlefield. Even if I were to learn for a few hundred years, I still wouldn't be able to compare to Imperial Father.

Bai Li lowered his head and looked at the chess board. He patted Shen Ninghua on the shoulder, stood up and walked towards the writing table, "You are really as thoughtful as your mother. You are trying to console me by playing chess. How can I not understand?"

"Royal father, I've heard about the recent events. No matter what the reason was, and who was the mastermind behind all of this, in the end, it's just some evil spirits. Royal father will definitely be able to kill these people with his sword!"

Baili Qingfeng glared at her and sighed, "From the way you put it, I feel like I'm the Ten Yama Kings!"

Shen Ninghua pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Imperial Father clearly has a True Dragon from the heavens, governing the balance of the world. Even the Ten Yama Kings would not dare to offend Imperial Father."

Alright, little girl, why do you have such a sweet mouth today, don't worry, although I am sad, I have long since let it go. The chair that I am sitting on has been the envy of others for who knows how long, and it has only revealed a little bit of its feet.

The expression in Shen Ninghua's eyes darkened, but he did not say anything. Baili Qing Cang was indeed a wise king, although his control over his body had declined by a lot during the later stages of the competition, but he had seen things clearly, and he had guessed correctly. In the later stages of the competition, almost all the princes had died, and only the Fifth Prince who had ascended to the throne was still alive and well, while the rest of the princes had been killed by the Tenth Prince.

Baili Qingfeng stared at the memorial on the table, not showing any expression of joy or anger. The memorial that was delivered to the imperial study every day could almost drown a person. There were those who would impeach each prince, implicating almost all the clans within the capital.

"Father, taking care of your own body is the most important thing. If you fall, the Great An Nation will really fall into chaos." Shen Ninghua looked at Baili Qingfeng's slightly green lips and felt her heart tighten.

"I'm fine. Go down and find peace. She worried about you for a long time. When she heard that you went missing, her eyes were swollen from crying."

"Yes, royal father."

Shen Ninghua took two steps back before suddenly stopping in his tracks. With a slightly perturbed tone, he said, "Imperial Father, I can tell that you don't look too good, and it would be best if you let Chen Yuan examine you carefully. Also, I have some medicinal herbs to recuperate your body. After she finished speaking, she slightly bowed and left.

After a while, the brush in Baili Qingfeng's hand snapped into two. He then threw the pen away and suddenly laughed, "This child Ning Hua is still soft-hearted after all! "Lucky?"

"This old servant is here." The head eunuch hurriedly entered and respectfully kneeled on the ground.

"Go and announce Chen Yu."

"Yes, this old servant will go now." As a personal eunuch, he had long discovered that the emperor's body was different. There was no point in persuading him, no matter how many times he tried. This time, it was all thanks to Princess Guanghua. The emperor truly didn't love her for nothing.

The royal study quieted down, and after a long while, a low sigh dissipated in the air:

"Breaking one's own arm is also very painful..."

A layer of cold sweat covered Shen Ninghua's body as he left the imperial study. The Monarch was most suspicious of her. She shouldn't have said what she said earlier, but she still couldn't bear to see his desolate appearance. She hoped that she did not take the wrong step.

Shen Ninghua walked towards the princess, but met Baili JinChuan before she even got close to him.

"Greetings, second prince."

Baili JinChuan stared straight at Shen Ninghua, his eyes brimming with rage as he said, "Shen Ninghua, you have nothing to say to me?"

"What does the Second Prince need me to say?"

Baili JinChuan suddenly raised his head, the anger in his eyes could not help but spew out, "What did you say? Shouldn't you talk about the vipers in the camp? Shouldn't you tell me about the scandal between you and Chu Junyi? Shouldn't you have told me why I suddenly fainted? Moreover, I was rumored to have been killed by a Scarlet Ringed Snake and my foster son was injured? "

Shen Ninghua's expression was cold, her beautiful eyes were clear and bright. "I don't even know what the Second Prince is asking about. It seems like there's no way to explain it to you."

"Shen Ninghua!" Baili JinChuan growled, "What a cruel thought you have!"

"I have always been like this, and have disappointed the Second Prince."

Looking at her cold and clear appearance, Baili JinChuan felt as if his heavy punch had landed on cotton, and an evil fire suddenly sprung up in his heart. He suddenly approached Shen Ninghua, grabbed her shoulders, and firmly imprisoned her in his arms.

"Tell me, if someone were to see our appearance, what kind of appearance would it spread?"

A trace of black coldness flashed through Shen Ninghua's eyes, "Baili Jinchuan, do you know how to write the word 'shameless'?"

"Hehe, I don't know. How about Ning Hua teaching me?" As he spoke, he deliberately breathed out the warm breath on the side of Shen Ninghua's neck.

Shen Ninghua's body trembled and a feeling of disgust suddenly rose up in her heart, "Baili JinChuan, the current you really makes people feel disgusted!"

"Haha," Baili JinChuan let go of Shen Ninghua, his eyes carrying a haughty and disdainful look, "I treat you as a treasure, but unfortunately, you just have to turn yourself into a blade of grass. If so, then whatever I do will be forced out by you, but you can rest assured that even though I am determined to win against you, I won't use any underhanded methods."

Shen Ninghua turned his head to look at his arm that was grabbing his shoulder with a cold gaze and said, "Is this still considered lowly?"

"Heh, Chu Junyi, aren't you comfortable holding you in her arms? How come you couldn't stand a little of my strength when I put my hand on your shoulder?" He was furious, but Baili JinChuan remained calm. What was so good about Chu Junyi? Why was she being so special to such a person? Jealousy made him wish he could just tie Shen Ninghua up and bring him back, but he couldn't! The thirst for power in his heart intensified. If he became the emperor, he could control the entire world, but he wouldn't be able to control Shen Ninghua's heart.

Shen Ninghua opened up Chu Junyi's arms and brushed the wrinkles on her clothes with her fingers. "Looks like there's nothing else from His Highness the Second Prince. Please excuse me!"

Baili JinChuan gritted his teeth and stared at Shen Ninghua's back, "If you can't get your heart, then the person who gets his hands on you first isn't bad. As long as a woman gets married, she will slowly retract her thoughts."

Shen Ninghua paid a visit to Hundred Miles of Peace. After exiting the palace, he got on a horse carriage and headed back to the prefecture lord's mansion.

She rubbed her forehead and sighed as she leaned against the soft couch.

Bai Yu, who was standing next to her, handed her a cup of wine. "Miss, are you not successful in entering the palace?"

"I'm fine. Did Zhao Ruyun make any movements during these two days?"

"Reporting to Miss, every day, Madam Zhang would bring Miss Zhao to participate in the banquet. Many people who went to discuss things with Miss Zhao were rejected by her."

Shen Ninghua nodded her head and said, "Mm, pass the last pill to her and personally deliver it to Mrs. Zhang. Don't go around pretending to be someone else."

"Yes, miss."

After Bai Yu left, Chu Junyi came out from behind the screen and stood by her side, rubbing her forehead.

Feeling the familiar aura, the disgusting feeling that was stirred up by Baili JinChuan dissipated, and Shen Ninghua gradually relaxed his mind. Not long after, Chu Junyi felt Shen Ninghua's hand sink in to his chest and he fell asleep.

Chu Junyi smiled at the girl who was getting more and more unguarded in front of her. "I must have met Baili JinChuan today. It seems like he hasn't been taught a lesson. My beautiful daughter-in-law is not someone anyone can covet!"
