Chapter 40 (2/2)

Chu Yu took a look inside Aside fro of bamboos, there wasn't anyone visible in there She turned her head to ask the young ?” Without Rong Zhi, could no one take care of business?

The youngZhi looked quite leisurely all the time, he had the seal of the palace in his hands, and controlled the flow of money and people alike in the Princess palace

He had such power?

Chu Yu was shocked, but also confused If he had so much power, he could leave the palace whenever he wished, even kill her if he so wished…as it that made him stay?

After standing outside Mu Xue quarters for a while, she called the people around her and told them that she would handle business here She commanded them to scatter for now

Even after le step closer to the quarters Turning around, she walked quickly back along the path she had come from

Yue Jiefei caught up with her and couldn't help but ask, ”Princess, where are you going?”

Chu Yu said in a cool voice, ”Xiu Yuan house”

In Xiu Yuan house, Huan Yuan wasn't skih a book like nor Zhi last tiain

Fro Then solanced to the side: who could be co for him at this hour?

S hi in the corner, she walked directly up to him

Coh Huan Yuan's handso lady walk toward him in a dazed state It seemed to him that he had never looked carefully at this person After what had happened yesterday, his determination had wavered But the shame he had suffered, buried deep down for two years–he couldn't let momentary weakness deny him that

Two coether in his heart One was gratefulness for being saved, the other the sha of the royal family He didn't knohat kind of expression he should put on for Chu Yu

Contrary to Huan Yuan's internal struggle, Chu Yu already had a clear idea of what to think and say Co before him, she sat across the table from him and said openly, ”Huan Yuan, I came here today to make a deal with you”

Huan Yuan frowned ”Do I even have the privilege to talk aboutdeals with you, Princess?” He said this without thinking Soret and softened his tone ”Forgive me, I spoke foolishly…please tell me, Princess What deal is this?”

Chu Yu slowly extended three fingers ”Three years In the future, you will no longer be my companion, but ive you a clean new identity and grant you your freedo to say yes to this deal?”

Although it was a long stretch of time, Chu Yu had her own considerations She needed an effective, reliable helper Co Zhi, who seemed too difficult to read, Huan Yuan fitted the bill for that much better

”But Huan Yuan,” Chu Yu's sharp gaze caught his, not allowing him to look away ”These three years, I will need your fully loyalty This is my most basic demand If you can't do it, then just pretend that I never came today”
