Chapter 133 (2/2)

Jing Yue was taken aback. Blinking her eyes, she stared at Xiao Chen and asked, “What? Total confinement?”

“En.” Xiao Chen casually pa.s.sed the invitation in his hand over to Jing Yue.

Jing Yue’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed. She stared at the content of the invitation and asked, “How can this be? Was it also like this before?”

“There were also confined trainings in the previous years, but they would only last for ten days.” Xiao Chen lifted his hand to take the teacup and sipped a mouthful of tea before adding, “But this time, the Empress Dowager actually made the suggestion. She said that she wants the etiquette to be even better than before, so the ten days confined training was increased to one month long.”

“This… Really perverted…” Jing Yue pursed her lips, saying miserably, “That means I have to be confined inside the school for one month!?”

“En.” Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and nodded.

“Wu wu wu (whinning)… No way~!” Jing Yue felt like crying but had no tears. It was still alright to study before, but you also want to confine me to study!?

“Jing Yue, I suspect that for this matter, there is someone plotting behind our backs.” Xiao Chen’s expression was somewhat grave. He looked at Jing Yue with a frown, saying, “You have to do everything carefully in the school.”

Jing Yue’s heart paused for a second, her expression slowly becoming heavy. She frowned and stared at him, asking, “What do you mean?”

“This matter is too abrupt. I’m afraid there’s someone who wants to harm you.” Xiao Chen frowned with a bit of frustration before saying, “Don’t worry, if there is even the slightest bit of abnormality, I would definitely take you out safe and sound even if I have to flatten the entire school.”

Jing Yue’s heart slightly s.h.i.+vered. Her expression had a slight change as she stared at Xiao Chen and asked, “Did the Crown Prince and Second Prince make any movement?”

“No matter, I’ll handle everything.” Xiao Chen casted Jing Yue a faint glance before turning around and left. He didn’t utter anything more except telling her not to worry. Nevertheless, Jing Yue’s heart was still unsettled. She had long thought that it would be like this. Xiao Chen was someone from the Royal family and this matter was of the Royal family.
