In Qionghua Courtyard, Chu Zhao has returned to the house.

Zi Luo was guarding the courtyard gate when she heard a rush of footsteps. Through the crack in the door, she saw a group of people carrying lanterns and torches heading straight for Qionghua Courtyard. She hurriedly ran back to the house to report to Chu Zhao.

"Princess, Princess, someone is really here."

Chu Zhao was sitting on the bed with his clothes on, seemingly calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

After listening to Qingyu's words, she finally let go of her worries. She sat up straight and ordered Qingyu and Hongxiao who were waiting nearby: "Quick, you two take out the things and burn them."

"Yes."

Qingyu and Hongxiao carried a bag of things to the yard and lit it with a fire stick.

Qingyu lay on the ground and blew the wind hard to make the fire burn brighter.

While holding a stick to stir the fire, Hongxiao stared at the courtyard door nervously: "Qingyu, why do you think the princess is so awesome? How did she guess that the prince would come back?"

"Because the princess is the reincarnation of a god!" Qingyu said matter-of-factly.

Hong Xiao rolled her eyes: "He is a miracle doctor, not a fairy."

"A miracle doctor is also a god, even if he has the word 'god'." Qingyu said.

Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, the courtyard door was kicked open violently, and Murong Xiao led a group of people in aggressively.

"Ah!" Hong Xiao pretended to be frightened and exclaimed.

Qingyu wanted to pretend, so she stood up and shouted: "Who, who dares to break into the princess's residence?"

Murong Xiao had a serious face and strode towards the two of them.

"What's burning?" he asked, staring at the fire, his gloomy face reflected in the dancing firelight.

The two girls pretended to recognize him and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Replying to the prince, it is the new medicine prepared by the princess." Hong Xiao said timidly.

Murong Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "What kind of medicine?"

Hong Xiao shook her head: "I don't know, I only heard from the princess that it will be of great use to the prince."

Of great use?

Murong Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought that it might be the medicine Chu Zhao had given to the Queen Mother.

"If it was useful to me, why did it get burned again?" He frowned and his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

Hong Xiao glanced hesitantly into the room and whispered: "The princess asked for the fire. The princess said, said, said..."

"What did you say?" Murong Xiao scolded impatiently.

Hongxiao pushed Qingyu and asked her to speak.

Qingyu said boldly: "The princess said that there are some heartless people who are not worth her time."

"..." Murong Xiao grinded his teeth.

Some heartless ones?

It's him you're talking about!

That woman told him not to regret before, was this what she was referring to?

If he touches A'ao, won't she help him with her medical skills?

Murong Xiao silently clenched his fists.

"Beiyuan, look carefully in the yard." He said nothing, stepped up the steps, and went straight to Chu Zhao's room.

There was a white jade bead curtain between the outer room and the inner room. He pushed it open with great force, making a clanging sound.

Zi Luo stood at the end of the bed with her hands hanging down. She was so frightened that she shrank her head like a quail and hid next to Chu Zhao.

"Get out!" Murong Xiao pointed at the door and yelled angrily.

Although Zi Luo was scared, she did not leave immediately. She glanced at Chu Zhao and waited for her instructions.

"Go ahead!" Chu Zhao leaned on the bed and said calmly.

Zi Luo then bowed and retreated.

Murong Xiao walked to Chu Zhao's bed in three steps and looked at her condescendingly: "Why did you burn the medicine?"

Chu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "Where is Ah Ao?"

Murong Xiao was immediately furious, leaned over and pinched her chin: "Why did you burn the medicine?" he repeated.

"Where's A'ao?" Chu Zhao also repeated.

Murong Xiao gritted his teeth and used force with his two fingers, as if he wanted to crush Chu Zhao's chin: "I will ask you again, why did you burn the medicine?"

Chu Zhao said, "Where's A'ao?"

Murong Xiao was so angry that he grabbed her shoulders and lifted her off the bed.

"If you want to die, I will help you."

Chu Zhao staggered, stood firm on the ground with his bare feet, and faced him quietly, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

Compared to her calmness and calmness, although Murong Xiao had a strong aura, he still fell behind.

If the angry Murong Xiao is like an unsheathed sword, Chu Zhao is like the slowly flowing water of a river.

No matter how sharp the knife is, it cannot hurt even a single drop of water.

After a long while, Murong Xiao finally lost his temper and was defeated.

"A'ao is not dead," he said, and then repeated his question again, "Why did you burn the medicine?"

He didn't know what was going on. The two girls had obviously told him the reason, but he just wanted to hear it from Chu Zhao himself.

"Because I don't think it's worth it." Chu Zhao said, "Your Majesty has never really believed in me, and he must have never regarded me, the daughter of a merchant, as his head wife. Even if he inherits the throne in the future, I will never be your queen. , so why should I work so hard to make wedding clothes for others?"

"..."

Murong Xiao looked at her bright face and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

So this is what she really thinks?

If she thought so, why did she cooperate so actively with him and give him advice before?

They have been getting along so harmoniously these days. Could it be that she was just pretending?

Why did she think this way? Did she hear something or guess something?

He had no intention of letting her be the queen in the future. After all, her background as a merchant's daughter was indeed not suitable for the mother-in-law world, but he had never told anyone this. How did she know?

Is it possible that she said this because she was so angry because they had such a quarrel tonight.

She said he had never believed her, but he had witnessed her private meeting with Manu in the middle of the night, so how could he believe her?

Murong Xiao's heart went over and over again, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Beiyuan reported from outside the bead curtain: "Your Majesty, I have searched all over the yard and can't find the ring finger."

Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had come back to find the thumb ring.

Why is it that when he sees this woman, his emotions can't help but be led astray by her? It's really weird.

He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Have you seen my finger ring?"

"Twist ring?" Chu Zhao asked, "Did the prince come back specially to find the finger ring?"

"That's right." Murong Xiao said, "It's the dark iron wrench that I wear on my hand every day, with the goshawk pattern engraved on it."

"The prince mobilizes troops and mobilizes people like this, so is it important to pull the trigger?" Chu Zhao asked again.

Murong Xiao patiently explained to her: "The ring finger was given to my grandfather by Empress Xihe back then. It is not only the identity certificate of every Jingnan king, but also has extraordinary significance to our Murong family. If you pick it up, Just return it to me quickly."

"What extraordinary significance?" Chu Zhao asked.

Murong Xiao didn't answer, and looked at her with a frown: "Did you pick it up?"

"My lord, please tell me first what's the meaning of it?" Chu Zhao chased after him.

Murong Xiao gradually became impatient: "When my father gave it to me, he only said that I should keep it well and not throw it away even if I lose my life. As for other things, my father passed away before he could say anything. I The king has yet to understand its value.”

"Oh." Chu Zhao responded, thinking that it was right that he didn't know enough about it. Apart from her, few people in the world knew the true purpose of this finger ring.

"I did pick up the ring, but I have three conditions." Chu Zhao said, "If one of the princes does not agree, I will not take out the ring."
