Su Ruoxi felt relieved. It was still more than a month before Xie Songjin and Zhou Rushuang's wedding. She just had to put the secret book back before then.

The building is full of flowers.

Since the last time she confessed her mistake to the Thirteenth Prince, Su Ruoxi went to Huamanlou more and more often. Under her sweet words, the Thirteenth Prince felt more and more that he should not doubt Fu Xingzhou based on her words.

Su Ruoxi, as usual, was dressed fresh and refined, different from the geishas in the building.

She pushed open the door of the Thirteenth Prince's wing, and there was no one else inside except the Thirteenth Prince.

Su Ruoxi was secretly happy.

A few days ago, the Thirteenth Prince always hugged her before she came, as if he was angry with her. Today, it seemed that he had probably forgiven himself.

"Your Highness, Ruoxi is late today." She walked towards the Thirteenth Prince in small steps, and her delicate voice made the Thirteenth Prince feel happy.

The Thirteenth Prince did not speak, but stretched out his hand to pull Su Ruoxi's clothes and hugged her into his arms.

Su Ruoxi smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body and frowned slightly: "Is there anything on your mind, Your Highness?"

The Thirteenth Prince remained silent, today was his birthday.

Just an hour ago, he just came out of the imperial concubine's palace.

Prince Fu Xingzhou has been in the limelight recently, causing King Yan to be ignored. The imperial concubine summoned him into the palace today. He thought it was to celebrate his birthday.

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine scolded him from beginning to end, saying that he was idle and stupid and slow in political matters, so she could not help King Yan at this moment and left him alone.

In the eyes of the imperial concubine, Prince Yan is the son she is proud of.

The Thirteenth Prince buried his head on Su Ruoxi's neck and took a hard bite: "Am I really not as good as Fourth Brother in everything?"

Su Ruoxi was in pain and resisted the urge to push him away and stroked his back, speaking in a gentle tone: "In my heart, Your Highness is better than King Yan in everything."

Without saying a word, the Thirteenth Prince picked her up and walked to the bed, venting his dissatisfaction and loss on Su Ruoxi.

Done.

Su Ruoxi thought that the Thirteenth Prince had forgiven her, but she didn't expect that he put on his clothes and turned around and left without saying a word, leaving only one sentence: "Come to my house tomorrow."

Su Ruoxi was unhappy inside. It was getting late, so she had to walk back to her house by herself.

As soon as Su Ruoxi returned to the room, she was pressed against the door by a force and unable to move.

She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person clearly.

"Why, you went to celebrate the birthday of the Thirteenth Prince?" Fu Xingzhou couldn't see clearly in the darkness, like a wolf staring at its prey in the forest.

"So today is the Thirteenth Prince's birthday?" Su Ruoxi cursed.

"No way, I just wandered outside for a while." She said panicked without changing her expression.

Fu Xingzhou suddenly came closer and sniffed her neck: "You should know that I hate deception the most. Do you need me to give you a breakdown of the number of times you have gone to Huamanlou in the past few days?"

Su Ruoxi shuddered and immediately climbed onto Fu Xingzhou's neck: "Your Highness, I want to give you a surprise. I have managed to get a lot of words out of the Thirteenth Prince."

"Oh? Tell me." Fu Xingzhou became interested and slightly let go of her hand.

Su Ruoxi twisted her sore wrist, her eyes showing shrewdness: "There is a rift between the Thirteenth Prince and King Yan. He is now very dissatisfied with King Yan, but he still has to be protected by King Yan. I can live under someone else's roof."

She guessed from the words of the Thirteenth Prince just now that someone was comparing the two, which hit the Thirteenth Prince hard.

Then he added fuel to the fire by saying that he had tricked the matter into his own mind.

Fu Xingzhou thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense, and his tone became gentle: "If you continue to inquire around him, it is best to get some information about King Yan's property and confidants in the capital from him."

Su Ruoxi was a little hesitant. The Thirteenth Prince didn't particularly trust her, so how could he tell her such an important thing.

She pouted her little mouth slightly and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince is very cautious. It took me several days to find out the news just now."

"You don't need to worry about this," Fu Xingzhou took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his clothes and handed it to her. "You sprinkle a little bit in it every time you drink with him. As time goes by, he will naturally say it."

Su Ruoxi looked at the white porcelain bottle curiously: "Why does Your Highness always have new things?"

Maybe he was in a good mood today, so Fu Xingzhou answered patiently, with a hint of pride in his tone: "I have a retainer who is best at using poison to make medicine and has superb medical skills."

"Your Highness is able to subdue such a capable person. He is truly the chosen one." Su Ruoxi praised him without hesitation.

Fu Xingzhou was very impressed: "The most important thing when employing people is to understand the other party's weaknesses."

After finishing speaking, he picked up Su Ruoxi and walked to the bed...

-

Yunan Palace.

Su Qingcheng was drinking tea leisurely, listening to the people below reporting what Su Ruoxi had said to the Thirteenth Prince in Huamanlou in the past few days.

She was a little surprised.

In the past few days, the Thirteenth Prince was like a man possessed, doting on Su Ruoxi to the extreme, and giving her jewelry in different ways every day.

Su Qingcheng noticed a detail. It seemed that every time they drank, the Thirteenth Prince's voice would become softer, so that the madam who was eavesdropping through the wall could not hear anything clearly.

The most important thing is that the Thirteenth Prince's drinking capacity seemed to have worsened, and he fell asleep without drinking much.

"Princess, the above is the entire content of the conversation between the two of us in our Huamanlou." The old madam saluted Su Qingcheng respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Qingcheng handed her a bag of gold leaves. "If anything happens in the future, please come to the palace to inform me as soon as possible."

The madam looked nervous and refused repeatedly: "Absolutely not! It is my duty to find out information for the prince."

"Take it, you belong to the prince, and keeping tabs on me every day will definitely delay your business."

The madam still wanted to shirk it, but Ye Tantai walked out of the room and looked at Su Qingcheng.

"My people are naturally the princess's people," his eyes were full of tenderness, and he turned to look at the old bustard with a plain gaze, "Take it, the princess's heartfelt wishes."

With Ye Tantai's order, the madam dared to accept the gold leaf, saluted the two of them, said goodbye and left.

"Does the prince use private torture on his subordinates on weekdays? Why do they all listen to you so much," Su Qingcheng started to tease, then thought of someone and added, "Except Gu Huoyan."

Ye Tantai thought about this issue seriously.

Apart from the Fire Prison, he doesn't seem to be so strict with the Shadow Guard.

"Gu Huoyan is the only descendant of the Gu family. In a sense, he can only be considered half of me."

He and Gu Huoyan were good friends who fought side by side.
