On this day, Yunling came to the old lady's place as usual. Before she finished pressing the button, a maid came in to report that the prince was here.

The old lady asked Yunling to stop in surprise, and sat up from the Arhat bed, "Invite him in quickly."

Cui Qiyan stood upright, wearing a dark blue plain brocade robe, and a green and white jade crown on his head. His handsome face made people couldn't help but take a second look.

"Grandson pays respects to grandmother."

The old lady smiled happily and said, "Come and sit down, are you free today?"

Cui Qiyan did not move, "My grandson learned that his grandmother had an old illness, so it was really inappropriate for him to fail to visit her in time."

"It's an old problem. It's nothing important. I told you not to tell you. Why did it get to you again?"

"Grandma, you shouldn't let anyone hide it from me," Cui Qiyan's face was full of worry, "Are you feeling better now?"

"There was nothing wrong in the first place. Look, I am not doing well." In order to prove the credibility of her words, the old lady got down from the Arhat's bed.

Yunling, who had been silently aside since Cui Qiyan entered the door, was closest to the old lady. She noticed her movements and subconsciously reached out to help her. Cui Qiyan also strode forward at this time, and the two of them supported the old lady on the left and right at the same time.

Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.

Why is it her again?

As soon as Cui Qiyan's eyes changed, Yunling immediately looked away.

The old lady didn't notice the unusual atmosphere between the two. She stood up and stroked their hands away, "I'm not too old to get off yet, so you don't need to be too nervous."

Cui Qiyan was still worried and went to help the old lady again, "You are suffering from lower back pain now. It is worse than usual, so you should not move around."

"I'm fine. If you don't believe me, just take a look." The old lady took a few steps back and forth to show him.

Old lady, steady steps

When there was no trace of pain on his face, Cui Qiyan was convinced, "You seem to be doing much better this time than last time."

The old lady looked at Yunling with a smile, "Thanks to this girl."

"Isn't she someone from Third Sister's side? Why did she come to you?" Cui Qiyan's eyes were filled with inquiry.

"It was Yaying who saw that I had severe back pain and said that Yunling knew how to press the legs, so she asked her to come to my place. It is because of her coming to press on me every day that I don't suffer so much."

"Oh," Cui Qiyan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "She actually understands this?"

"Yes, who would have thought that she would be proficient in this at such a young age and her techniques are very sophisticated." The old lady took Yunling's hand and patted the back of her hand gently.

Cui Qiyan stared at the hands of the two people folded together, shocked. Grandma had always only done this to her own family members and people who were very close to her, but now she was so kind to a little maid who had just entered the house.

He looked up and saw Yun Ling's peaceful side face, and various thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

"My grandson feels relieved to see that his grandmother is fine."

The old lady slowly let go of her hand, "Grandma is very happy to know that you are thinking about grandma. Don't just be busy with official duties. You should take good care of yourself."

"My grandson understands. Grandma has a good rest. My grandson will come see you another day." Cui Qiyan saluted.

"Go ahead, business matters." The old lady nodded gently.

Yunling listened to the footsteps fading away, raised her head and glanced outside the door, only to see a patch of dark blue clothes. She turned around to help the old lady, "I will help you up and press on."

"Okay." The old lady was in a good mood.

After massaging the old lady, Yunling came out of the room, moving her wrists, shoulders and neck habitually on the way. step out

At the courtyard gate, she squeezed her shoulders with her backhand, tilted her head to one side, and walked in the direction of Yiyue Pavilion in a familiar way.

"What's your purpose?"

The unexpected voice made her freeze in place, tilting her head and looking at Cui Qiyan standing in front of her. Didn't he leave long ago?

"Answer me." Cui Qiyan looked at her stupid look and took a step forward with a calm face.

Yunling woke up from her dream, straightened her posture quickly, curtsied and said, "I have seen the prince."

"We just met, have you forgotten? Don't do this to me and answer me truthfully!"

Yunling's heartbeat quickened. She didn't know where she had offended this master, so she whispered, "I don't understand what the prince means."

"You have an unknown identity, and you have gone to great lengths to come to the Dingguo Palace. You have saved Qiyu and Yaying, and made them treat you differently. Now you have coaxed your grandmother to praise you. All of this is too much. What a coincidence, what is your purpose of doing this?"

He had asked Ji Bai to investigate before, and only found out that she was rescued from the river by a couple who returned to their hometown, and then sold to Ya Po, who then begged Mother Xu to take her into the house. But she fell ill as soon as she entered the house. Ji Bai asked the doctor who treated her at that time. It was true that she was sick, but she forgot everything after waking up and it was difficult to judge whether it was intentional or not.

This time, because of the incident involving the people from the Western Regions, several people in the capital were brought out, including the Sun Yapo who bought her. He used the interrogation method to ask some questions about her.

Sun Yapo still remembered her clearly and told her everything she knew about her, but it was of no use. It's nothing more than saying that she is a white-eyed wolf, with means and scheming.

He asked Ji Bai to find him again

I met the couple and learned from their mouths that they didn't know the details of the maid. They only guessed that she was a refugee from Yingzhou. She didn't deny it at first, but she didn't reveal anything about her name or the situation at home.

It is difficult to check further forward.

He really couldn't feel at ease leaving such a person approaching his relatives step by step. However, Qiyu and Yaying liked her very much. When they left the house that night and saw her trapped, they kept begging him to save her. Looking at it today, it seems that even my grandmother can't live without her.

He couldn't watch her go on, he had to figure out what she wanted to do.

"Raise your head and answer me!" Cui Qiyan felt inexplicably upset when he saw her lowering her head.

Yunling's heart trembled, she gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at him, "Whether the prince believes it or not, whether it is saving the fifth master and the third girl, or relieving the old lady's back pain, these are not my deliberate actions. .Where does the purpose mentioned by the Crown Prince come from?"

"Then how do you explain all this?" Cui Qiyan stared into her bright eyes, pressing closer and closer.

Yunling tried hard not to be overwhelmed by his momentum. She was afraid that if she gave in, he would be convinced that she had other agendas. The next few times the prince looked at her, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. If she couldn't eliminate his unfounded suspicions at this moment, then she really couldn't explain it.

"Your Majesty, do you think I should die without saving my life? I was a newcomer. I didn't even know the way around the mansion at that time, let alone the Fifth Master. Working on the rockery in the garden was arranged by Mother Wu. How could I know where Mr. Wu would put the kite? If the kite is hung on a tree and Mr. Wu climbs up to get it, what does it have to do with me? I

It was just because I was worried that something would happen to me if something unexpected happened, so I went over to pay attention. I don’t know if it was me or the Fifth Master who was unlucky, but he just fell down and I couldn’t help but go up and catch him..."

Speaking of this, Yunling took a deep breath, as if she was aggrieved, and there was a layer of moisture in her eyes, "Fifth Master is not a child anymore. If such a big man hits me, I can still keep my arms and legs. It's already..." Fortunately. I don't want to become a cripple, let alone lose my life accidentally. Even if you give me ten thousand taels of gold, I won't do such a stupid thing!"
