In the East Palace.

  Chu Ci woke up again in a daze, and there was someone sitting beside her bed, quietly looking at her. He found that Chu Ci's lips were very beautiful, with a natural slight curl and light pink color, which looked lovely just by looking at them.

  Then, couldn't help but gently touched twice.

  Chu Ci furrowed her brow and opened her eyes, but her gaze was still dazed. She rubbed her eyes, and her voice still had a sleepy nasal tone: "Your Highness..."

  "The beloved queen has awakened." He smiled faintly at her, his face so proud and aloof, yet when he broke into a smile, it was irresistibly captivating.

  "Your Highness is back......" Chu Ci's body was still aching all over, but seeing Emperor Tie return, his heart couldn't help but jump up and down like a child who had just eaten candy.

  "Is the princess still feeling unwell?" He looked at her wanting to sit up and gently helped her up.

  Chu Ci shook his head and couldn't help but bury himself in his arms.

  Her soft and dependent appearance seemed to make him pause for a moment, but then he smiled slightly, reached out to touch her somewhat disheveled soft hair, and said in a low voice: "My queen, I've found the antidote."

  He said as he coaxed her: "However, Concubine Ai must first return the Star Luo Chain to this king."

  Chu Ci slowly got up from his arms and still looked at him with warm eyes, saying "Okay."

  She stretched out her small hand, and Emperor Chi looked at her unmoved.

  Just as she was about to take off the starry chain, his hand suddenly covered hers. Chu Ci's other hand had already drawn out a curved blade and pressed it against his abdomen. His eyes turned cold in an instant, and he said word by word: "Is it you?"

  The person in front of him was not the Crown Prince, but rather the Masked Man!

  He actually used a painted skin disguise as the Crown Prince and dared to sneak into the East Palace!

  The masked man smiled and even elegantly tore off the painted skin on his face, but what was revealed underneath was still a mask.

  "Can you tell me where I went wrong?" The masked man smiled warmly, with a hint of dimples, seemingly perplexed that he had been recognized by Chu Ci.

  Chu Ci still pressed against his abdomen and said coldly: "The Crown Prince will not ask me for the Xing Luo chain."

  "Oh, I see. So, did he ever tell you that the Star Luo Chain is his lifeblood? Your prince really likes you, entrusting his life to you like this... But..." The masked person said with a smile, but suddenly their eyes turned cold and dark, and they pinched her hand hard, snatching the Star Luo Chain from her. Their voice also became icy: "You've let him down."

  However, almost the moment he snatched the Star Luo Chain, Chu Ci's curved blade pierced into his abdomen without mercy, shouting: "Return it to me!"

  Blood gushed out, but he burst out laughing and used his inner strength to blast Chu Ci away. However, Chu Ci seemed just as determined to die, and as he flew out the window, the curved blade of his whip accurately hooked around his waist, using the momentum to pull him back in.

  The masked man raised an eyebrow, seemingly unaware of the pain, and took advantage of the situation to pull Chu Ci over, but was stabbed again by her. This time he seemed to be in real pain, complaining to her, "How can you be so heartless?"

  Just then, several guards rushed up from outside the crown prince's residence.

  The masked man whispered quickly and quietly beside Chu Ci's ear: "Let them retreat, don't let me destroy the Star Luo Chain now."
