They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 189 I Will Help You

He was afraid that Chu Yu would come back and give him another hard time.

Sure enough, a short while later, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door.

He opened his eyes and stared at the doorway. Chu Yu slowly pushed the door open.

With an indescribable expression on her face, she touched the key at her waist and unlocked the four shackles for him.

"Didn't I tell you to come back later? Why are you back now?"

"I feel like I just closed my eyes and you're back?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince instructed me to escort you back to the post station and to your sister's side. I will also go with you to explain this matter to your sister."

Qi Zexuan cursed Wu Ziyan a thousand times in his heart. This guy really doesn't know how to read the room!

Don't you know he just wants to stay here and doesn't want to go back?

He didn't know how to face his sister, whom he had tried to frame multiple times but failed!

"Hurry up, the shackles have been removed. Get up now, or I'll slap you!"

"I don't want to go back, I just want to stay here."

"Don't force me to tie you up."

"Then you can carry me back first, and then carry me back again. Anyway, I'm not going to walk back by myself."

As he spoke, he even started acting like a spoiled child on the bed, turning over and wrapping the blanket around himself.

Chu Yu couldn't understand his little romantic gestures, but seeing him wrapped the blanket around himself, she thought it was alright.

They simply tied it up with a rope like a rice dumpling.

There was another quilt inside, which made it look like she was going to serve the emperor.

"What are you doing? You're really tying me up like this! What if others see this and misunderstand?"

"It's alright. You shouldn't show your face in public. I'll go by carriage."

Chu Qiu had originally thought of using a burlap sack to carry him across, but then thought it might not be a good idea.

She carried Qi Zexuan on her shoulder, and a carriage was already prepared at the door.

Actually, they are not far from the post station; it only takes a few tens of minutes by horse-drawn carriage.

While in the car, Qi Zexuan was like a caterpillar, wriggling around.

He was muttering curses under his breath. Chu Yu listened carefully, but it seemed that none of the curses were directed at her; they were all directed at Wu Ziyan.

This piqued her curiosity; what exactly was his connection with the Fourth Prince?

It seems that the way he looked at her, when she thinks back now, wasn't affection, but rather hatred.

"What exactly is your entanglement with the Fourth Prince? It seems like you harbor some resentment towards her!"

"She poisoned me, and didn't care at all about my beauty."

"That's it?"

For him, these humiliations were enough.

Chu Qiu felt that he treated Wu Ziyan similarly to him.

Is it because she herself is here that he doesn't dare to curse?

"Then I tied you up too, why don't you curse me?"

"Different from her."

Chu Yu was now even more certain that she should go and confess to Qi Zeyun later, and let Qi Zexuan stab him in the back.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the post station, where Wu Ziyan was already waiting.

Looking at Qi Zexuan, who was wrapped up like a caterpillar, she laughed again. It seems that Chu Yu is the one who can deal with this kind of person!

"why are you laughing?"

"I wasn't laughing, I just thought your outfit was really novel."

"Although it is indeed cold in late autumn, I rarely see people wrapped up in cloaks like this."

It was obvious to everyone that this was a sarcastic remark, but Qi Zeyun still maintained his cold, expressionless face.

She looked her younger brother up and down, and she had also read the secret letter he had made; her reaction was relatively calm.

Because she knew that their mother had always been that kind of person.

"elder sister."

"Um"

“Your Highness Qi Zeyun, something happened between me and Your Highness Qi Zexuan, and I must tell you.”

"After you hear this, you can punish me if you want, or you can take responsibility for His Highness Qi Zexuan if you don't want to."

Wu Ziyan and Chu Qiu knew what she was talking about.

Unexpectedly, she would be so straightforward as to bring this matter up in front of Qi Zeyun.

Moreover, what they were thinking about was what trouble Qi Zexuan had caused at Chu Yu's residence this time.

He nodded without speaking, indicating that he wanted Chu Yu to explain.

Then, he vividly described what happened at that time.

Qi Zexuan blushed deeply with embarrassment, while the others remained expressionless.

Everyone thinks she's a little mentally unstable. Is such a small thing really worth bringing up in public?

Some even wondered why Wu Chengji would have such a subordinate.

Moreover, does Chu Yu have absolutely no idea what kind of person Qi Zexuan was or what he did in his own country?

Or perhaps they all knew, but Chu Yu didn't.

At this moment, Qi Zexuan felt a little guilty; he didn't want Chu Yu to know about his dirty deeds.

He burrowed under the covers; it turned out he hadn't been released yet.

"Sister, please!"

She never expected that Qi Zexuan would beg her in front of so many people.

They've been fighting for so many years, and he's never once uttered a single word of pleading.

This Chu Yu is something else; she only took him away for a day, and he's already begging her for her sake.

"I don't bother to talk about your affairs with outsiders. You can explain it to General Chu Yu yourself later."

"I can't interfere in your affairs, so you can do whatever you want."

The eldest sister didn't care and actually told him to make his own decision.

Chu Yu was even more exasperated. There was no way she could be allowed to meet the king of Xiao Rong Kingdom!

"Can't you let me go before we talk? This is right at the gate, don't I have any shame?"

Several people were chatting there, completely ignoring him.

Chu Yu loosened the rope, but he showed no intention of running away.

He and his sister exchanged a glance; the blood relation was truly wondrous, and they instantly reached a tacit understanding.

"Then let's move inside and talk."

The group went back into the room and sat around the round table. Wu Ziyan then explained the plans for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

Qi Zeyun didn't really trust them, but Qi Zexuan said, "Why don't you just give me the medicine?"

"That won't do. If you collapse, it won't be convincing. At this time, we don't need you to be poisoned; all we need to do is act. Your Highness Zeyun!"

"This is a state banquet of your Wu Dynasty. Are you really going to make such a big fuss about it?"

"Your Highness Zeyun, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. After all, if I die, that person will have a reason to send troops against you."

Qi Zexuan's return this time was a rare opportunity to form a united front with his sister.

When they parted ways with Chu Yu and her group, they were even a little reluctant to leave.

Qi Zeyun could also tell that he must have developed genuine feelings for him.

Humans are truly amazing; they can change their appearance overnight.

As he watched them walk away, Qi Zexuan's expression changed back.

I thought he was going to say something, but instead he just sat down at the table.

He held the cup that Chu Yu had just used with precision, stroking its rim.

"Qi Zeyun, I don't want to compete with you anymore. It's sudden, isn't it? But if you become empress, I want a lot of money."

“I will help you, after all, she has never treated us as her children.”
