Xue Jinruo was stunned for a while, then smiled again and said, "You are very similar to your sister, both of them are very stubborn."

Immediately, he didn't want to dwell on this topic any more, so he looked at Liuli and said again: "It's just that if you keep Liuli, how will you explain it to Sheng Jiaojiao?"

"Don't worry, Princess, I have already thought of my words." Chang Geng said these words and turned around to leave.

Seeing how decisively he left, Xue Jinruo had no choice but to let him go.

Xue Jinruo walked to Liuli and took her pulse. Only then did Xue Jinruo discover the reason why Liuli had been sleeping.

"Have you got any left?"

She has been fighting with Sheng Jiaojiao for so long, so she is naturally very familiar with her methods.

The Gu worms were forced out of Liuli's body with ease. After a few injections, Liuli faintly woke up and turned around.

"I...where am I...Princess?" Liuli looked dazed and had no memory of what happened before.

"You are at Xue's house. It is safe here." Xue Jinruo hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Liuli's expression changed suddenly, and her tone of voice changed slightly: "Xue family? No, I shouldn't be here. I have to go find Chang Geng to find out the news."

Xue Jinruo frowned when he heard this. It seemed that Liuli's memory was distorted by the influence of the Gu. She only remembered the time when she went to see Chang Geng.

"Don't worry," Xue Jinruo said softly, "Chang Geng is a little different from what you imagined."

Although Liuli didn't understand Xue Jinruo's words, she was still willing to believe her once.

"Everything depends on the princess."

Xue Jinruo sent someone in to help Liuli up: "Go and have a good rest first."

Liuli nodded in agreement and was helped away.

Xue Jinruo looked at her retreating figure with a thoughtful expression.

……

The next morning, when a hint of fish belly white had just appeared in the east, Xue Jinruo, who was sleeping in his clothes, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Xiaochun." She called Xiaochun after she woke up for a while.

Xiaochun hurriedly walked in: "Princess, why did you get up so early today?"

"Gaoruniang will be left to you. You must protect her." Xue Jinruo waved her hand and ignored Xiaochun. She just told her to protect Gaoruniang, and then hurried out and went straight to the regent's palace.

Sheng Jingze had just stood up when he heard the news that Xue Jinruo was coming: "Your Majesty, the Princess is waiting at the door."

"Please come quickly." Although Sheng Jingze didn't know why Xue Jinruo came so early, he still invited her in.

After Xue Jinruo came in, he briefly informed Sheng Jingze of what happened last night: "Your Majesty, Chang Geng brought Liuli with him last night..."

"I see." Sheng Jingze also frowned after hearing this. Unexpectedly, there was someone else behind Sheng Jiaojiao.

Xue Jinruo changed the topic and continued: "My lord, you must take me into the palace as soon as possible."

Sheng Jingze hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still nodded in agreement: "Here, prepare the carriage."

The two entered the palace soon.

But they had just entered the palace gate when they saw the seventh princess spinning not far away.

Xue Jinruo raised her eyebrows, but before she could open her mouth, the seventh princess had already seen her, ran over and timidly called out: "Auntie Huang."

"Seventh Princess? Why are you here?" Xue Jinruo looked at her red face and knew that she must have been waiting here for more than a while.

The seventh princess said quickly: "Auntie Huang, come with me first."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and took Xue Jinruo's hand, and ran all the way to the place where Sheng Xian was originally detained.

Xue Jinruo frowned again, but saw that the seventh princess just ordered to open the window.

She looked in through the window and saw Xue Sijian.

"Last night I thought about going to talk to Fifth Sister, but I didn't expect to see Mr. Xue. I saw him heading all the way to Fifth Sister. I was worried that something was wrong, so I asked the guards of Fengyi Palace to detain him here, but he I don’t know what’s going on, I keep hitting the wall and won’t stop talking.” The seventh princess then started to explain.

After hearing these words, Xue Jinruo felt a big stone in his heart.

She knelt down and held the Seventh Princess in her arms: "Seventh Princess, I really want to thank you this time, otherwise our Xue family will definitely be in trouble."

"What's going on?" The seventh princess was young and couldn't understand.

Xue Jinruo did not continue to explain, but said: "You don't need to go into details. If you need help with anything in the future, just come and tell me, and I will definitely help you."

"Really!?" The seventh princess's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then can you take me to meet my mother?"

"I have never seen my mother since my father imprisoned her in Fengyi Palace. I begged my father several times, but he didn't allow me to go in. Aunt Huang, you have the best idea. Can you help me?" I?"

When Xue Jinruo heard this, he hesitated for a moment. After all, this imperial edict must be issued. If he wanted to ask the seventh princess to come in, he would naturally need to ask His Majesty.

She thought about it in her heart for a while, and then she said, "I can't elaborate on this matter with you, but I can go with you to beg Your Majesty. Maybe it will work."

"Then I'd like to thank Auntie Huang first." The seventh princess hurriedly blessed herself and followed Xue Jinruo.

Although Xue Jinruo knew in her heart that the queen was probably locked up in Fengyi Palace because of the incident she reported last time, she couldn't bear to disappoint a little child of the seventh princess, so she could only ask her to follow her.

However, Sheng Jingze had already arrived at the Imperial Study Room, and faint voices could be heard coming from inside.

"Auntie Huang, do we still want to go in?" The seventh princess lowered her voice, not even daring to speak loudly.

Xue Jinruo raised his brows, and before he could speak, he saw the eunuch in charge coming forward: "Oh, Seventh Princess, why are you here again? The old slave told you that His Majesty is busy with government affairs and really can't spare any time. See you, please come back."

When the seventh princess heard this, she curled her lips and hid behind Xue Jinruo.

After hearing the chief eunuch sigh, he still wanted to persuade him again.

"Eunuch, I brought the seventh princess here, please ask her to come in with me..." Before Xue Jinruo could say anything, the head eunuch quickly interrupted: "Princess Regent, please don't embarrass me, old slave. …”

Xue Jinruo couldn't help but interrupt him: "Except for everything, I'll take care of it."

As soon as these words came out, the chief eunuch had nothing to say and could only let people in.

Inside, Sheng Jingze was talking to His Majesty, but suddenly fell silent when he saw the people coming in. .
