Zhu Yiqin was the first to react. If Gao Wenyan would be in danger when he went out, why did the Queen Mother insist on sending her away?

Thinking of His Majesty's increasingly cold face lately, Zhu Yiqin suddenly panicked.

She begged: "Queen Mother, please come with us!"

The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head: "Your Majesty's patience with me has almost reached its limit."

"I killed his mother and concubine, and then he killed my son."

"We have hated each other for so many years, and it's time for something to come to an end."

"In this deep palace, blood can still kill each other, let alone a mother and son like us who work together?"

In the end, it was the Queen Mother who made the final decision: "Let this be so."

She looked outside and saw that the sun was shining brightly and said, "It's quite warm today. Why don't we go to the Royal Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms together?"

It is late winter and early spring, when plum blossoms are in full bloom.

Zhu Yiqin naturally would not refuse the opportunity to accompany the Queen Mother for the last time, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Then the Queen Mother turned her head and called Gao Wenyan.

The plum blossoms were not in full bloom yet, only one bloomed in the southeast corner, but it also made everyone happy.

There was still some distance from here when a woman's laughter was heard from ahead.

The Queen Mother wondered: "Who is there? It was earlier than us?"

The palace maid couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, it's Princess Yuanjia and the Prime Minister who are admiring the flowers."

"Xiaojiu?"

The Queen Mother was very surprised.

Some time ago, I heard that the Holy One wanted to draw a red line between the Ninth Princess and Chu Xu, but I didn't expect that there would actually be a follow-up.

She smiled and said: "It seems that the Prime Minister doesn't like Wen An, but he is still interested in Xiao Jiu."

The Queen Mother was very satisfied and praised repeatedly: "Yes, compared to Wen An, Xiao Jiu is much more sensible after all."

After saying that, she said to the palace maid: "Quickly, take the Ai family to have a look, quietly, don't disturb them."

The palace maid led them forward with ease.

After just a few steps, I found a position where I could see it more clearly.

The Ninth Princess didn't notice the visitor. She just stepped on her feet to pick a plum blossom that was about to bloom. She turned around and asked Chu Xu with a smile if it looked good.

With the familiar vague smile still hanging on his lips, Chu Xu nodded gently, and the Ninth Princess smiled even more happily, stretching her hands high to pick off the flower.

The Queen Mother even smiled from ear to ear.

She quietly said to Zhu Yiqin: "Look, there are more opportunities for these two to meet."

Zhu Yiqin looked over there a few more times. Although the man and woman were both talented and beautiful, standing together was quite eye-catching, but she always felt that something was missing.

When Chu Xu stood with others, Gao Wenyan could finally look at him openly.

Seeing that the two of them were getting along very harmoniously, however, her mind inappropriately thought of the sip of tea she just drank.

Gao Wenyan smiled, suddenly feeling a little bitter in his heart.

She once told Chu Xu that if she wanted her to remember a tea, all she had to do was make the same tea for her every day. However, Chu Xu was still happy to find new teas for her.

But who would have thought?

Gao Wenyan never liked drinking tea, but he still remembered the taste of this tea.

"Girl, try it."

"It's the fragrant tea from Yunnan."

She even remembers Chu Xu's words clearly when he handed her tea.

Someone stepped on a dead branch, and the crisp sound attracted the attention of those in front. Chu Xu turned around first and saw Gao Wenyan standing upright at a glance.

After only staying for a moment, his eyes moved to the Queen Mother.

"See the Queen Mother."

"No gifts."

He straightened up, glanced at the group of them again, and said with a smile: "The little general of the Gao family is here too?"
