The whole room.
The floor of the whole room was crawling densely with various venomous snakes.
All because of the sweltering heat inside the room, they were stirring about.
They were of all kinds, their wriggling forms dazzling.
Chu Yuanyuan usually liked to play with snakes, but the snakes in her hands were all artificially domesticated and would never attack their owners.
However, there were hundreds of venomous snakes in front of her now, obviously all wild ones.
Naturally, she was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She shrank into a corner of the bed board, shivering.
"Princess!"
Chu Xi and Chu Nan quickly broke into the room.
But Chu Xi was so worried about Chu Yuanyuan that he didn't notice the floor at all.
He stepped into the room and soon stepped on a bamboo viper.
Attacked, the snake bit Chu Xi's ankle mercilessly.
The venomous snakes beside the bamboo viper seemed to have discovered the living creature nearby and swam and climbed towards him one after another.
Soon Chu Xi's legs were covered with venomous snakes, and his face became greener and greener.
"So many... venomous snakes!"
These were Chu Xi's last words.
"Chu Nan, save this princess!"
Venomous snakes were also climbing up the bed corner, approaching Chu Yuanyuan step by step.
Chu Yuanyuan closed her eyes and waved her hands wildly. "Don't come over! Get out of here!"
But the venomous snakes were not humans. How could they understand her expulsion?
Seeing her constantly waving hands, their small triangular eyes showed even more intense pursuit.
"Princess, don't be afraid!"
Having seen what happened to Chu Xi, Chu Nan naturally wouldn't act rashly.
The floor was full of venomous snakes, and some even wanted to crawl towards Chu Nan outside the door.
It was obviously impossible to get to the big bed from the floor.
Chu Nan heaved a deep sigh and suddenly jumped onto the dressing table.
As he moved, the colorful jewels and the gilded mirror on the dressing table shook and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.
The broken pieces scratched the skin of several venomous snakes, making them hiss more fiercely.
They even jumped up high, trying to attack Chu Nan.
Chu Nan picked up the hairpins on the dressing table and threw them out. They hit the jumping venomous snakes and nailed them to the ground.
The snake group seemed to be shocked, and their speed slowed down a bit.
Only then did Chu Nan jump up from the dressing table again and land right on the big bed.
Seeing him coming, Chu Yuanyuan immediately stretched out her trembling hands and hugged his waist. "Chu Nan, save me."
Chu Nan patted her on the shoulder and comforted her gently. "Princess, don't be afraid!"
The venomous snake that had been climbing up along the bed corner finally got on the bed and stared closely at Chu Nan and Chu Yuanyuan.
"What should we do? It's coming!"
Chu Yuanyuan's whole body was shaking, and even the wooden bed creaked.
Chu Nan acted very quickly. He kicked the naked body of Chu Bei, and the venomous snake that had climbed onto the bed also fell to the ground.
Soon, the densely packed venomous snakes covered Chu Bei's body.
Chu Yuanyuan felt numb all over her scalp. Her round eyes were full of horror and fear.
Where was there a trace of her usual arrogance?
Chu Nan wrapped her body with a quilt and then hugged her and jumped up from the bed, crashing open the wooden window beside them.
"Crash!"
The wooden window couldn't withstand the impact and shattered instantly.
Finally, Chu Yuanyuan and Chu Nan landed outside and were saved.
"Alas!"
Inside the room, there seemed to be a low sigh of disappointment. "I can't believe I didn't kill her!"
It was A San who was muttering. Beside him was A Er, silent and cold.
He flicked his fingers slightly, and fine black powder fell.
The originally crawling venomous snakes gradually turned into a pool of sewage, and the two white skeletons of Chu Xi and Chu Bei gradually appeared underneath.
After all the venomous snakes had completely melted, A San threw out some white powder.
The sewage on the floor all turned transparent and gradually seeped into the ground.
The original surging tide of a hundred snakes disappeared in a moment, leaving only a little dampness.
After checking everything carefully, the two left quietly.
Outside the house, Chu Nan put Chu Yuanyuan down. "Princess, just now the situation was urgent. It was my disrespect."
Just as Chu Yuanyuan was about to respond to him, her face suddenly changed. "There's a snake!"
"Princess?"
Chu Nan looked shocked, but saw Chu Yuanyuan unfold the quilt and point to her fair ankle. "There's a snake!"
No one had ever thought that there was still a snake hidden in the quilt.
Chu Yuanyuan's face turned pale with fright. She thought she was going to die, and there were tears glistening in her eyes.
If one didn't think about her usual vicious deeds, she really looked a bit weak and pitiful at this moment.
Without the quilt, Chu Yuanyuan was almost naked.
Not knowing where to look, Chu Nan took a deep breath and then looked at Chu Yuanyuan's instep.
It was a short, non - venomous green snake.
He let out a sigh of relief, grabbed the green snake, strangled it and threw it away. "Princess, don't worry. The green snake is non - venomous."
Only then did Chu Yuanyuan go limp and fall into his arms. "You scared this princess to death!"
Chu Nan stiffened. He was not the handsome Chu Dong, who was usually forced by Chu Yuanyuan.
Nor was he the scheming Chu Bei, who would do anything to climb up.
He had never been close to Chu Yuanyuan and had always been a loyal subordinate.
Now that Chu Yuanyuan was lying in his arms coquettishly, he didn't even know where to put his hands.
But after the scare, Chu Yuanyuan had completely lost her amorous feelings.
"Go and find some clothes for this princess."
Now that they were out of danger, Chu Yuanyuan's mind gradually cleared up.
Why would there be such a dense group of venomous snakes in the royal fief, and in her room of all places?
She wouldn't believe it if there wasn't someone behind this.
Not daring to look back into the room even once, Chu Yuanyuan led Chu Nan to Chu Nian'an's room.
At that time, Chu Nian'an and Yan Zhao were still discussing the itinerary.
To be precise, it was Chu Nian'an who was studying the itinerary alone.
As for Yan Zhao, he was staring at the night outside with a mysterious look in his eyes, and there was a hint of bloodthirsty killing intent on his lips from time to time.
When Chu Yuanyuan entered the room, she happened to see the killing intent that he hadn't retracted yet.
Already having suffered a great disaster, Chu Yuanyuan shivered even more in her heart.
"Yuanyuan?"
Chu Yuanyuan and Chu Nian'an were of similar ages.
One had always lived in the capital, while the other had always lived in the Huainan fief.
Even though they were cousins, their relationship was not close.
Moreover, Chu Yuanyuan's bad deeds were well - known in the capital, and her actions were obviously beyond Chu Nian'an's understanding.
Unless necessary, Chu Nian'an generally wouldn't get along with Chu Yuanyuan.
This snow - viewing and lake - touring trip was actually because Chu Yuanyuan had come uninvited.
Otherwise, according to Chu Nian'an's wishes, she wouldn't have invited Chu Yuanyuan.
"Princess, Yuanyuan wants to seek justice."
Yan Zhao's cold gaze lingered, colder than the hundreds of venomous snakes just now.
Chu Yuanyuan's heart fluttered. She usually liked beautiful people, regardless of gender.
Yan Zhao was the most handsome man in the capital, but she didn't dare to have any amorous thoughts about him at all.
"What kind of justice do you want?"
It wasn't Chu Nian'an who spoke, but the cold - faced Yan Zhao.
Although his words were in the form of a question, Chu Yuanyuan could hear a sense of refusal, as if he didn't intend to interfere.
It seemed that Yan Zhao had completely expected her late - night visit.
Unless...
In a flash, Chu Yuanyuan suddenly realized.
Unless Yan Zhao had known about her encounter today.
Unless...
Unless Yan Zhao was the one who had secretly harmed her.
Clenching her fists, Chu Yuanyuan recalled the danger just now, and all her hatred welled up!
Yan Zhao!
You're asking for death!
