Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded.

"Well done, go eat first and I'll reward you later."

Beibei smiled happily: "I don't ask for any reward, I will be happy if I can do good things for the princess!"

He smiled and bowed, then turned around to exchange the silver ingots for them, and they ate, drank and joked together.

Huo Changhe tilted his head and looked over here, then walked over lightly: "What's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu patted the banknotes in her hand: "Beibei brought them back."

Huo Changhe lowered his head and glanced, slightly surprised: "So many?"

"You've done a great job," Yan Ruyu sighed, "What kind of reward should I give you?"

Huo Changhe smiled and said, "Then it must be appreciated by others."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "That makes sense."

"Let's go, let's go eat first."

The banquet lasted until midnight, and Princess Mingzhao used the excuse that it was too late to stay overnight.

The popularity of the new house reached its peak.

Under the lamp, Yan Ruyu put a few cards into the cartoon red envelope she took out from the space.

After Huo Changhe finished washing up, he came over and hugged her: "What are you doing?"

"Prepare gifts, they will probably like them."

Before he finished pretending, Huo Changhe rubbed his chin lightly against her neck.

A slight pain and a slight itch.

Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing: "Stop it."

"It's too late. Let's deal with these tomorrow." Huo Changhe didn't even raise his head.

Yan Ruyu was so annoyed that she had no choice but to surrender with a smile: "Okay, I'll pack this..."

Before she could finish her words, Yan Ruyu was picked up by Huo Changhe and carried towards the bed.

The two fell into the soft new quilt, warm and gentle.

Yan Ruyu let out a low cry, but her voice was drowned out by Huo Changhe's kiss.

……

The next morning, when Yan Ruyu woke up, it was already bright. Before she opened her eyes, she felt sore all over.

Thinking of last night, Yan Ruyu felt her face burning again, and her consciousness directly entered the space.

She came in with her eyes closed, and before she opened them, she felt something was different from usual.

The moment I came in, my mind seemed to be plucked by a string, and it instantly became clear.

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but hold my breath.

Is it...an illusion?

Her space seemed to have expanded a lot more than before. A mountain appeared vaguely in the distance, and its top seemed to reach straight into the sky.

But the scene was so distant, as a mirage, that Yan Ruyu was not sure whether it was real.

"What is that?" she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

I walked towards that direction, but it seemed like I would never get close.

Yan Ruyu walked nearly a hundred meters, closed her eyes, opened them again, held her breath, and slowly strengthened her five senses.

In the past, under such circumstances, one could hear sounds from far away and see some subtle details.

This time, all these perceptions seemed to be bounced back by an invisible diamond shield.

With a buzzing sound, Yan Ruyu felt a pain in her head and eyes.

She uttered a muffled sound, held onto the tree beside her, and quickly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

It took me a long while to feel better. I wiped away my tears and looked again. The mountain was still there.

It wasn't an illusion, she thought, but for some reason, she couldn't look closely or listen.

Never mind. She didn't force it anymore. After all, in this space, no matter what kind of abnormality it was, she would figure it out sooner or later.

The pain subsided, but her mind was still clear. She heard the soft voices of Luhu and Linlang talking outside, and she consciously exited the space.

Huo Changhe was not around, so Yan Ruyu quickly put on her clothes.

Halfway through getting dressed, Huo Changhe came in from outside again, smiling: "Are you awake? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Yan Ruyu gritted her teeth slightly: "No need."

Huo Changhe laughed out of his throat: "I just brought you breakfast from the kitchen. There is a warming soup."

Yan Ruyu put on her clothes silently.

Huo Changhe stepped forward and hugged her: "It's my fault."

Yan Ruyu sighed helplessly: "You are wrong, but you will dare to do it next time, right?"

Huo Changhe laughed softly, rubbing his chin against the top of her head: "If you say you dare, then you dare. If you don't dare, then you don't dare."

Yan Ruyu laughed angrily: "Go away!"

Huo Changhe bent down to help her put on her shoes and fetched water for her to wash.

After taking a sip of hot soup, Yan Ruyu felt much more comfortable.

"Are you free today?" Yan Ruyu asked.

At this time of day, Huo Changhe would have gone out long ago.

"Yes, but there's no rush," Huo Changhe added more soup to her bowl, "Take An Cizhou around the city."

"How did your talk with him go yesterday?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Just thinking about it made me angry. I had a lot of things I wanted to ask last night, but Huo Changhe interrupted me so much that I didn't have time to ask anything.

Huo Changhe saw through her thoughts and suppressed a smile, "He came here on the orders of the Sixth Prince. I'm afraid the capital is not peaceful and the Emperor is seriously ill. I don't know if it's true or not, but no matter whether it's true or not, he must have the intention of changing the crown prince."

Yan Ruyu was not surprised by this result. If there had not been a major turmoil in the capital, the Sixth Prince would not have sent anyone, let alone take the risk of sending An Cizhou.

An Cizhou himself holds an important position and cannot leave Beijing without permission. Moreover, with the old Prime Minister An behind him, how can he easily take sides and express his position?

Yan Ruyu put down her chopsticks and asked in a low voice: "An Cizhou is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He has been away from Beijing for so long. Isn't he afraid that someone will suspect him?"

"The Sixth Prince has already made arrangements for this matter. This year, there was a snowstorm in Ganzhou. After reporting it to the court, no one was willing to go there because Ganzhou is located in a desolate place and people's lives are difficult. There is nothing to gain, and the roads are difficult to travel."

Yan Ruyu's eyes widened slightly: "Could it be that he volunteered to go to provide disaster relief and turned here halfway?"

"That's right," Huo Changhe nodded. "Since he can come, it means he has discussed it with the Sixth Prince and the old Prime Minister, and has made careful arrangements. He came here in disguise, so naturally there are people who disguise themselves as him and go to Ganzhou for him."

Yan Ruyu was still a little worried: "This is no small matter. If it is discovered, it will implicate too many people, and it is a time of great trouble..."

If discovered by the prince's men, even the An family would be implicated.

Huo Changhe patted her arm gently. "It's okay. The governor of Ganzhou is a student of Prime Minister An, and the city protector is also my former subordinate. Besides, they haven't seen An Cizhou in recent years. The person arranged by the old Prime Minister is also about 60% similar to him. Nothing will happen."

Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "That's good."

"Just because something happened in the capital, is it worth him making a trip?"

Huo Changhe was silent for a moment before continuing, "The Sixth Prince naturally does not want the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. What he means is that if the Crown Prince falls, no matter who the new monarch is, he will find a way to get us back to the capital."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.

Huo Changhe observed her expression and said, "Yu'er, are you unwilling to go back?"

Yan Ruyu chuckled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

A smile says it all.

Huo Changhe held her hand and said, "Then we won't go back. We'll follow your wishes."

"You are happy, that's the most important thing."

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. She knew in her heart that things wouldn't be that simple.

As a prince with great reputation and military achievements, how could Huo Changhe not be controlled by the court?

Do you really want to return to the court in the future?
