After giving instructions, he strolled away.

Ye Yuxi lifted his head and spotted Feng Wuyou through the crowd; he saw her continuously walking without any intention to stop, so he called out to the departing Feng Wuyou.

"Xiao Jiu."

Ye Yuxi blatantly ignored the group of ladies in front of him and walked straight toward Feng Wuyou.

The daughters of nobility watched with wide eyes as the Crown Prince left them behind and walked towards Princess Jiuyou, their eyes brimming with confusion.

Shen Chuwei turned around and saw Ye Yuxi approaching with a smile playing on his lips; she had no choice but to awkwardly turn back to greet him, "Crown Prince."

When Ye Yuxi came closer, he asked with a smile, "Where are you headed?"

Shen Chuwei replied, "I’ve finished eating and was just about to head back."

Ye Anyu approached with a smile, "Crown Prince Brother, Princess Jiuyou, why not sit down, have some wine, and chat for a bit?"

Wanting to spend more time with Feng Wuyou, Ye Yuxi suggested, "Xiao Jiu, why not sit down and have a few drinks before going back, what do you say?"

"With so many people, it’s lively, Princess Jiuyou will surely pay this courtesy to Crown Prince Brother." Ye Anyu, taking the initiative, linked her arm with Feng Wuyou’s and led her toward the wine table.

Shen Chuwei: "..." We’re not close~

The wine table was split into two; the Crown Prince, Ye Anyu, and Shen Chuwei at one, while a few noble daughters occupied the other.

Those daughters, who had originally paid no attention to Princess Jiuyou, re-evaluated her as soon as they saw how the Crown Prince treated her.

Other than being beautiful, she didn’t seem to have any distinguishing qualities and lacked the demeanor of a proper lady.

Shen Chuwei looked at the delicacies on the table; not interested in chatting, she could only eat.

During this time, she drank two cups of what tasted like Fruit Wine. She didn’t dare drink more, afraid that getting drunk and speaking recklessly would give her away, which wouldn’t be good.

Ye Yuxi looked down at Feng Wuyou, noticing she only ate without drinking, "Don’t you like Fruit Wine?"

Shen Chuwei replied, "I don’t handle my liquor well, and I’m afraid of causing trouble when I drink too much."

Ye Anyu, upon hearing this, glanced over and explained with a smile, "Princess Jiuyou, this is Fruit Wine, not something strong like Zhu Ye Qing. You can drink a little more without it being a problem."

Shen Chuwei managed a small smile, "I’m full."

The smile at the corner of Ye Anyu’s mouth stiffened.

Ye Yuxi raised his cup, finished the remaining wine in it, and after setting the cup back down, he looked toward Feng Wuyou, "I’ll take you back."

Shen Chuwei, looking for an excuse to slip away, immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"You all continue, Xiao Jiu and I will head back first."

After saying that, Ye Yuxi left the scene with Feng Wuyou.

As soon as Ye Yuxi had left, the curious noble daughters immediately came to ask about the relationship between Princess Jiuyou and the Crown Prince.

"Princess, what’s the relationship between that Princess Jiuyou and the Crown Prince?"

"That’s right, what’s the story behind Princess Jiuyou?"

Ye Anyu said with disdain, "Why do you care about her? She’s just a princess in name only."

*

Ye Anyu’s palace was quite far from Wuyou Palace; it took a good while before she arrived at Wuyou Palace.

Shen Chuwei, lifting the hem of her dress, stepped into Wuyou Palace and glanced at Ye Yuxi, noting his unsteady steps, which made him look somewhat drunk.

No wonder he was walking so slowly... it also proved that Fruit Wine had quite a kick to it.

After drinking two cups, she now felt her cheeks growing warm.

She reminded him, "Crown Prince, we’ve arrived."

Ye Yuxi wobbled a bit, then reached out to grab Feng Wuyou’s shoulder. Shen Chuwei instinctively moved backwards until her back hit a column and she stopped.

Yuxi, with the scent of alcohol, came closer, looked down at Feng Wuyou’s delicate face, and called out softly, "Xiao Jiu."

Shen Chuwei tried to push Ye Yuxi away, but couldn’t; she wondered if he also knew Kung Fu.

The force of her push would have sent a normal man stumbling back.

"You’re drunk. I’ll call two people to take you back."

Shen Chuwei said and then crouched down, attempting to crawl out from under his arm. Just as she got out, Ye Yuxi pushed her back against the column, which happened to hit her Butterfly Valley with such force that she cried out in pain.

She disliked interacting with drunk people because they don’t understand words, and those with bad drinking habits could also act indecent.

Clearly, Ye Yuxi was guilty of both.

Ye Suhuan entered Wuyou Palace and immediately saw Ye Yuxi behaving indecently toward Shen Chuwei; without a word, he struck with full force.

Shen Chuwei had just taken a silver needle from Space when she saw Ye Yuxi’s tall figure flying across the room, crashing into the opposite wall.

With a loud "bang," Ye Yuxi fell, spitting blood.

She lifted her head toward the other side and saw Ye Suhuan, who had disappeared for two days, standing there with an aura of murderous rage, his originally scarlet pupils now shimmeringly red.

Ye Suhuan had no intention to let Ye Yuxi off as he approached, the rage emanating from him faintly perceptible.

As Ye Yuxi just managed to stand with support from the wall and saw Ye Suhuan, he felt a chill down his spine. Before he could speak a word of explanation, Ye Suhuan’s palm struck him, sending his body crashing back against the wall, causing blood to flow without cease.
