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

Baili JinChuan narrowed his eyes and sized up Chu Junyi with a cold smile, "Left Censor-in-Chief, you're quite the expert. The imperial guards didn't arrest you. Instead, they allowed you to enter the princess' chamber openly."

Chu Junyi replied coldly. Her icy aura collided head-on with Baili JinChuan's. "The second prince didn't kidnap the princess in public either, did he?"

"Nonsense!"

Chu Junyi didn't take his angry words to heart. "Your Highness is stalling for time. Are you waiting for someone to invite the emperor or the empress?" Oh, I almost forgot. The empress is very fearful of His Highness the second prince, so it won't do any good to invite him in. You shouldn't go and invite the empress. "Then we can only ask the emperor to come. However, before I entered the palace, I heard that the two officials from the Board of Justice and the Board of Rites went to the Hall of Saints. I don't have an hour before they leave."

"Chu Junyi, your hand's stretched out long enough!" It went without saying that the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Public Relations held an important position above the imperial court. As the prince's consort, he was actually able to mobilize the ministers of the two departments. It could be said that he was extremely shocking!

As your royal brother, you are able to control the palace maids in your sister's palace. Not only did you fake the transmission of the news, you cheated Princess Radiant into entering the palace, and even fake the princess' order, summoning me here. If I didn't feel that something was wrong, I would have done something impulsive.

Not long after Shen Ninghua entered the palace, he received news that Ning Hua was asking him to come to Princess An Ran's chambers for help. The moment he heard the news, he immediately gathered his subordinates, but luckily, he thought of Ning Hua's actions before leaving and didn't rush into the palace.

Shen Ninghua smiled and exchanged a glance with Chu Junyi. They had a tacit understanding that was hard to put into words.

Baili JinChuan coldly snorted, "I've really underestimated you. I thought that with your love for Ning Hua and hearing the news of her suffering, you would impulsively run over to save her. I didn't expect that I would be wrong. You treat her so well!"

Chu Junyi's expression was cold. "Are you trying to sow discord?"

Baili JinChuan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that what I said is not the truth?"

Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed softly and stood by Chu Junyi's side. "What does it have to do with you if you don't regret your feelings of love?" "Jun Yi, let's go."

Chu Junyi nodded, grabbed Shen Ninghua's wrist and pulled her outside.

Baili JinChuan turned around and sat down on his seat. He suddenly pulled up his robe and let out a loud noise, "This is where you can come and go as you please?" To think that Shen Ninghua was helping him like this. Chu Junyi deserved to die, and she should have died a long time ago!

Suddenly, the door was opened. A group of guards rushed in from outside, each holding a shield and a spear. They surrounded Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi in a circle.

Shen Ninghua turned her head abruptly. "Second Prince, you want to kill us in Princess An Ran's palace?"

"How could that be? I was only helping my sister kill Chu Junyi, who was scheming against her. Ninghua, don't worry. I won't hurt you."

Shen Ninghua said with a face full of mockery, "You really are worthy of me addressing you as such, despicable! "Shameless!"

"Haha, those who accomplish great things don't care about trifling matters. I originally wanted to give him a more busy and decent death, but he just didn't want to walk on the path that I had planned. Then I can only use very good methods."

The corner of Baili JinChuan's mouth raised, his face was extremely resolute, his eyes were full of killing intent, "Do it!"

"Kill!"

Chu Junyi shielded Shen Ninghua behind her and kicked one of the guards out of the way. Then, she used her foot to lift the spear that had fallen to the ground. With a sudden sweep of her foot, she knocked over all of the guards in front of her.

Seeing dozens of people unable to capture Chu Junyi, Baili Jinchuan's face darkened as he shouted, "Trash!"

Because he was afraid that the imperial guards would come over later, he could not kill them, much less see the blood flow. He could only use his skill to force back the guards who were charging towards him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Ninghua saw Baili JinChuan sitting there. She pursed her lips tightly, lifted her hand to remove the hairpin from her head, took two steps back to the side of Baili JinChuan, and fiercely pressed the hairpin against his throat.

"Tell those people to stop!"

Baili Jin raised her head, gritting her teeth as she looked at Shen Ninghua, "Ninghua, you want to kill me for him?"

"I'll say it again, tell your men to stop!"

"I don't believe that you would dare to kill me!"

"If it was in the past, I really wouldn't have been able to kill you. After all, you have a hundred thousand soldiers in your hands, and killing your emperor would have turned the entire imperial court upside down. But now, the authority in your hands has been taken away by the emperor, and even you have crippled your martial arts, so why can't I just kill you?"

"Crippled martial arts, useless …" Without caring about the hairpin on his neck, Baili JinChuan turned his head and stared at Shen Ninghua, "In your heart, am I just a useless piece of trash who has crippled his martial arts?"

His eyes were especially direct. His black pupils were like a black hole, seemingly capable of absorbing all light. At this moment, under the gaze of such a pair of eyes, Shen Ninghua could even see the deep depression and anger within them.

"Tell your men to stop!"

With a flip of his hand, he snatched the hairpin from Shen Ninghua's hand. Anger started burning on his handsome face, "Ninghua, even though my four limbs and blood vessels were damaged, I am still someone who has gone through the battlefield. Even if I have only one breath left, I can still kill the enemy with one last breath!"

A repressed murderous aura and a bloody aura assaulted his face. Shen Ninghua's heart fiercely jumped, her wrist was firmly grabbed, and she was unable to pull it back no matter how hard she tried.

At this moment, Baili Shun suddenly bypassed the fighting crowd and ran to Shen Ninghua's side, "Royal Brother, let go of Ning Hua!"

Shen Ninghua's other hand, which was placed beside her, moved and retrieved the poisoned quenched golden needle into her palm.

Baili JinChuan didn't pay any attention to Baili Jingjing. Instead, he continued to focus all his attention on Shen Ninghua. "Ninghua, I'll make you regret your decision. I'll make you regret your decision!" Because he was using too much strength, he felt a tearing pain from his wrist. However, the pain from his hand was hard to bear.

Shen Ninghua remained expressionless as he coldly said, "Let's wait and see!"

The corner of Baili JinChuan's mouth lifted coldly. He slowly raised the hairpin and steadily pushed the jade hairpin back into Shen Ninghua's hair bun.

Baili An was extremely nervous as he stared at his brother, "Royal brother, the movement here has alerted the imperial guards and they will be here soon. Let's hurry up and leave." At this moment, Chu Junyi violently knocked one of the guards to the ground, then leaped back to Shen Ninghua's side. She pulled Shen Ninghua behind her to protect him, then sent a palm strike towards Baili JinChuan. Bai Luan's heart skipped a beat. He rushed forward and blocked in front of Baili JinChuan, forcefully enduring the palm strike. Immediately, he felt the blood in his chest surge and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Shen Ninghua's pupils suddenly shrank, "Peace!"

Baili JinChuan's icy gaze swept across Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi, before landing on Baili Shun, "Mind your own business, let's go!"

The guards that were still able to move immediately pulled up the guards on the ground, and quickly left through the secret tunnel dug up by Baili JinChuan.

When the imperial guards arrived, the hall was already empty. Apart from the tables and stools falling, nothing unusual could be seen. "Greetings to Princess Zhao Hua, Princess An, and Lord Chu. I wonder if there was any noise from the palace?"

Baili An's face turned pale, "It's nothing. It's just that Princess Guanghua and Lord Chu were investigating the concealment of poison in the palace, and they actually found some problems with the tables and chairs. It's nothing serious, you can withdraw."

The imperial guards were still hesitant. Chu Junyi stepped forward. "I will personally report this to my royal father. You may leave."

"Yes sir!"

When the imperial guards had retreated, Baili An was no longer able to hold on. He staggered back onto his chair, gasping for breath. Xiao Hua, I'm sorry. "

Shen Ninghua frowned at her and stepped forward to grasp her wrist. "The palm strike earlier was due to the Second Prince's physique that Chu Junyi did not use her full strength on. Your internal organs were only shaken and nothing serious happened. Resting for another half a month would have been fine."

A bitter smile appeared on Baili An's face, "Thank you … "Xiao Hua, you're already married. I know I shouldn't say all this, but my royal brother can be said to be the closest person to me. I couldn't bear to see his dejected look, so I thought of ways to get him to see you."

Shen Ninghua did not say anything. She understood Baili An's thoughts, but she understood and could not accept that there would be no results for her and Baili JinChuan. No matter how many times they met, there would be no results.

"Ning Hua, your royal brother doesn't have anything left, he is already very pitiful. I don't have any face for you to argue with him, but I hope that you can consider the friendship between us sisters and avoid harming his life as much as possible."

Shen Ninghua shook his head. "Princess, I can't do it."

Baili'an lowered his head, "I've forced it."

Shen Ninghua understood Baili Yu's feelings and understood the awkward situation she was in. It was just that she boasted that she had never taken the initiative to hurt Baili JinChuan, and had always been on the defensive. She had never been kind, nor could she sympathize with anyone.

Chu Junyi stepped forward. "Ninghua, let's go."

"Yes." Shen Ninghua nodded and followed him towards the door.

Baili'an suddenly raised his gaze and bit down on his lips, blood seeping out as he yelled at Shen Ninghua's back, "Ninghua, I didn't mean for you to come. I didn't know that Royal Brother had actually set a trap for you."

Shen Ninghua paused in her steps, slightly sighing and softly uttering two words, "I know." After that, he walked out of the palace.

The next day, Shen Ninghua was still feeling terrible about what had happened to Hundred Miles of Peace when another piece of news arrived like a thunderclap.

The northwest border was in turmoil. There were bandits attacking the border of Great Yue State and the Second Prince, Baili Jin Chuan, had requested for the Second Prince to personally lead troops to the border!
