Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi returned to Zhaohua Palace and explained the situation to Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan was busy with palace affairs and could not keep them longer, so she ordered Nanny Zhang to escort them out of the palace.

The two of them bowed to Concubine Wan and thanked her, then followed Grandma Zhang out of Zhaohua Palace.

When going out, Ning Ziqing saw a group of palace people waiting outside.

Among them, she recognized the little eunuch who had reminded her before.

Ning Ziqing stepped forward quickly, took out a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his hand: "Thank you very much just now."

After saying that, without waiting for the little eunuch's reply, he turned and left.

Mo Zhanchen held the piece of pastry tightly, lowered his head slightly, and kept his gaze in the direction where Ning Ziqing was going.

After leaving the palace gate, Su Yanqi asked Ning Ziqing to get on the carriage and change into a maid's outfit.

Then, he took her to Huo Yunjue's mansion.

The carriage drove for about half an hour and stopped at the door of a mansion far away from the busy city.

Su Yanqi stepped out of the carriage and signaled Ning Ziqing to carry the food box and pretend to be his maid to follow him into the house.

Ning Ziqing did as he said, lowering her head and cautiously following Su Yanqi up the steps.

When the guard at the door saw that it was Su Yanqi, he respectfully invited him into the house without asking any questions.

The two of them stepped through the gate one after the other, and Su Yanqi led Ning Ziqing straight to the inner courtyard.

On the way, I met many people who were familiar with Su Yan's seven servants, and they all saluted and said hello to him.

At this time, Huo Yunjue had just woken up from his lunch break. A palace servant came in to help him get up, fed him water, and then was sent out by Huo Yunjue.

These palace servants were apparently sent by Emperor Yao to take care of him, but in fact they were secretly monitoring his every move.

Since the last time, he was impeached by many court officials and was involved in Zhan Yuantang.

Emperor Yao could not help but be suspicious of him. In addition, the incident involving the crown prince and the second prince made Emperor Yao even more suspicious of whether Huo Yunjue was involved and was deliberately suppressing these two people.

However, during Huo Yunjue's illness, except for Concubine Wan and Su Yanqi who came to the fourth prince's residence, no other courtiers came to visit.

Emperor Yao felt a little relieved, but his wariness towards Huo Yunjue was still not gone.

Huo Yunjue also knew what Emperor Yao was thinking, so he stayed in his mansion to recuperate these days.

In order to avoid exposing his relationship with Ning Ziqing, he endured without even daring to say a word to Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing probably misunderstood that he was ignoring her, and now she was very angry with him.

Thinking of this, Huo Yunjue pinched his nose irritably.

At this time, the door was pushed open and someone walked in.

Huo Yunjue didn't even raise his head, and shouted angrily: "Didn't His Highness say, don't come in and disturb me if you have nothing to do, get out!"

"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, it's me. Concubine Wan asked me to diagnose your pulse!" Su Yan replied seven times, and then quickly ordered Ning Ziqing behind him: "Why don't you hurry up and present the medicinal meal made by Concubine Wan to Your Highness?"

Ning Ziqing said "yes", lowered her head and carried the food box as she approached the bed.

Huo Yunjue was a little surprised when he saw it was Su Yanqi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qilang, I was rude just now."

Su Yanqi walked over, sat in front of him and joked: "The fourth highness's illness has made him even more angry."

Huo Yunjue looked aggrieved: "You try to stay locked in the room. You're lucky you didn't go crazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Ziqing next to him laughed softly.

Huo Yunjue was stunned for a moment and looked up. Ning Ziqing picked up a bowl of medicinal food and handed it to his mouth.

"Your Highness, please try the lotus seed soup that the empress made for you. You have just recovered from a serious illness. Eating this is good for your health. I will feed you."

Huo Yunjue was surprised and happy when he saw Ning Ziqing appearing here.

"Why are you here?" he asked quietly.

Ning Ziqing blinked at him without answering, with a sly smile on his face.

Worried that the palace people outside the house would find something abnormal, Su Yanqi checked his pulse and said quickly: "Your Highness, although you are fine, you are suffering from severe cold. I will give you acupuncture soon. You cannot be disturbed. I My maid stayed to help me."

Huo Yunjue nodded in understanding and shouted outside: "You all stay away and don't interfere with Qi Langjun's treatment of His Highness. When he finishes the injection, you can come back to serve him!"

After he finished speaking, Wei Feng Weiyu drove those palace people out of the inner courtyard.

After they left, Su Yanqi told the two of them: "Time is running out, so please keep your story short. I'll give you half a stick of incense."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi Lang." Huo Yunjue nodded to him and thanked him.

Su Yanqi glanced at Ning Ziqing, got up and walked to the outer room to wait for her.

There were only two people left in the back room. Ning Ziqing put down the bowl and hugged Huo Yunjue excitedly, her eyes red: "Ah Jue, I'm so worried about you."

Huo Yunjue's chest felt hot. He stroked Ning Ziqing's head and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I just contracted the cold. I'm fine now."

Ning Ziqing glared at him: "You've had a high fever all night, and you still say you're fine, but you almost went to see your great-grandmother!"

Huo Yunjue's eyelids twitched and he frowned seriously: "Don't worry, for your sake, I won't go to see Grandma too early."

Ning Ziqing suddenly burst into laughter.

When she finally stopped laughing, Huo Yunjue asked in confusion: "Why did you and Qilangjun come to my place today?"

Ning Ziqing told him the truth.

After hearing this, Huo Yunjue couldn't help but worry: "Your Majesty must have heard some gossip to test us like this."

Ning Ziqing sneered: "You don't need to guess to know that it was the second prince who did it."

Who else but his second prince could mobilize the courtiers to participate in Huo Yun Jue and reveal the relationship between the three of them to Emperor Yao.

Huo Yunjue stared at Ning Ziqing closely, feeling uneasy.

"What should I do if my father insists on letting you get married to Qi Langjun?"

Ning Ziqing frowned and blurted out: "How about we elope!"

Huo Yunjue was so shocked that he couldn't take a breath, choked and coughed several times, and his cheeks turned red from coughing.

Unexpectedly, the man continued: "I'm serious."

Huo Yunjue choked, smoothed his chest, tried to calm down and said with a smile: "Qingqing, we don't have to go to this step, right?"

Ning Ziqing narrowed her eyes and snorted: "I think you are reluctant to part with your status as a prince, right?"

Huo Yunjue shook his head repeatedly and expressed his attitude: "Last time in Cangzhou, I promised my grandfather that for you, I would give up my status as a prince and never break my promise."

"Then we will leave Kyoto immediately and find a place to live in seclusion. This position of queen is not necessary. It is enough to have you by my side."

Ning Ziqing was very calm and looked at Huo Yunjue with expectation.

Huo Yunjue's heart seemed to be hit by a warm current, spreading in his chest.

Endless joy filled his brows, and he stared at Ning Ziqing with stars in his eyes.

With a huge smile on his face, Huo Yunjue hugged Ning Ziqing tightly and rested his chin on her shoulder: "I really want to leave this place of right and wrong with you, but if we leave, who will leave the remaining mess to? My mother-in-law, Qi Langjun, or your eldest brother? If Your Majesty blames someone, even the Fu family will suffer. Have you ever thought about this? "

Ning Ziqing's eyes trembled slightly, she lowered her eyes, tried her best to hide her emotions, and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, don't take it so seriously."

Huo Yunjue sighed softly and let go of her.

"Don't worry about your master and Zhan Yuantang. He is doing justice now and has benefited the people. The court will not convict him rashly. Even if His Majesty wanted to investigate the relationship between me and Master Bai, he would not find anything. Come."

Ning Ziqing nodded: "The second prince deliberately used this matter to suppress you, and there are already people outside who are complaining for you. In the Gucheng case, you were the one who uprooted those moths who were corrupt and perverted the law, and you also tried your best to solve the flood. The court and Your Majesty’s treatment of you is really too much!”

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited as she talked, Huo Yunjue quickly comforted her: "They are all rumors. I don't care. Those who are clean will be clean themselves. Your Majesty will understand me."

Ning Ziqing understood and said nothing. He picked up the lotus seed soup on the side and fed it to Huo Yunjue.

"Isn't this made by my mother-in-law?" Huo Yunjue pursed his lips and asked doubtfully when he noticed that the taste was not right.

Ning Zi's face fell, and she looked at him confidently: "It's good enough that it's not boiled. Eat it if you like it or not. It won't kill you anyway. Qi Langjun is outside. I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of!"

Huo Yunjue's lips twitched when he heard this. Are you treating him like a patient?

Seeing Ning Ziqing's displeased eyes, Huo Yunjue could only praise her without conscience: "Qingqing, your cooking skills have improved a lot, I like to eat...!"

Ning Ziqing smirked with satisfaction: "Eat more if you like, there are still a few bowls over there!"

Huo Yunjue's face froze, and he wanted to faint immediately. It seemed that the disease would not be cured in a while.

After half a stick of incense, Wei Feng saw Su Yanqi and the others out of the house. When passing by the inner garden, he saw several craftsmen busy.

"What are they doing?" Su Yanqi asked Wei Feng curiously.

"Your Highness wants to build a flower pavilion and dig a pond here." Wei Feng replied truthfully.

Su Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

Huo Yunjue was made for Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing looked at Wei Feng questioningly.

Wei Feng nodded and continued: "Your Highness said that after the flower pavilion is built, purple wisteria flowers will be planted, and lotus flowers and fish will be planted in the pond."

"His Royal Highness also ordered the gardeners to plant osmanthus trees, hydrangeas and wintersweet flowers..."

Surprise flashed in Ning Ziqing's eyes, and a smile burst from the corner of her mouth. It turned out that he remembered every word she said to Huo Yunjue.

That night.

Yu Ning Palace.

Ye Yushan reprimanded Mo Zhanchen angrily: "I told you that the most taboo thing in the palace is people who meddle in other people's business. Why did you help Miss Ning San several times?"

Mo Zhanchen stood outside the window, his back to her, silent.

"Achen! Don't forget what our purpose is? If you continue to disobey and disrupt my plan, I will ask Wu Xuan to take you back!"

Ye Yushan warned Mo Zhanchen sternly.

Mo Zhanchen turned a deaf ear and jumped up the tree. He lay on the branch and took out the cake Ning Ziqing gave him from his arms. He took a small bite and smiled happily.

"So sweet!"
