After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

By the time Su Qingcheng reacted, she was already trapped in Ye Tantai's arms and her mouth was covered by his hand.

His hands were neither warm nor cold, and had a faint scent of ink.

Su Qingcheng met his eyes in confusion. The space in the wardrobe was limited, and the tips of their noses touched slightly. The weak candlelight filtered through the hollow pear wood wardrobe, adding an extra layer of ambiguity between the two.

Ye Tantai looked at the wide-eyed Su Qingcheng and couldn't help but poke her face with his other hand. It was so cute.

Just when Su Qingcheng was about to have an attack, he motioned for her to look out again, raising the corners of his mouth.

Su Qingcheng was imprisoned in his arms at this time, unable to move, and unable to push him away due to the current situation, she turned her eyes away and looked through the hollow wardrobe.

Princess Huaining opened the door angrily, pointed to the empty yard outside, and asked: "Shu Lanru, where are the guards at the door? I tell you that I raised you to help my princess and contribute to the family. of."

Shu Lanru immediately stood up from the bed and knelt down. The hijab had been covered on her head, and she lowered her head: "They are probably going to drink wine and eat meat."

"Hmph, what the hell," Princess Huaining ordered someone to close the door. After sitting down, she looked at Shu Lanru with a meaningful look in her eyes. "Have you brought the medicine I asked you to change?"

"Take it," Shu Lanru handed Princess Huaining the porcelain bottle Su Qingcheng gave her. Just when Princess Huaining was about to get it, her hand loosened slightly, and with the sound of the porcelain breaking, Princess Huaining slapped her. Hit her in the face, "Aunt, I didn't mean it."

Su Qingcheng frowned slightly in the closet. She thought it might be because the two people hiding behind the screen made Shu Lanru nervous.

"What are you doing? Do you know how rare this medicine is?" Princess Huaining cursed in anger.

Shu Lanru said nothing. The hijab was knocked off by Shu Lanru and floated aside. She knelt on the ground and lowered her head.

"Forget it, you must remember to put the medicine into Su Qingcheng's tea cup tomorrow, do you understand?" Princess Huaining grabbed her chin, forced her to look directly into her eyes, and froze in place, "Why are you..."

A big tear slipped from the corner of Shu Lanru's eyes.

Princess Huaining suddenly felt that something was wrong. Her niece was a waste abandoned by the family. If she hadn't kept Shu Lanru by her side because she might be able to use her after she still had some beauty, she would have died long ago. .

Besides, Shu Lanru had been beaten and scolded a lot since childhood, but even so, she had never been seen crying.

Is it...

There was no sound outside for a long time, and Su Qingcheng felt something was wrong in her heart. She subconsciously turned around to look at Ye Tantai behind her.

The man's eyes were always on her.

Ye Tantai's hand had already been released, and he easily judged what Su Qingcheng said to him through lip reading.

"What's going on outside?"

He gently patted Su Qingcheng's shoulder to express comfort, put one on his lips and said "shhh", and then looked out.

If he guessed correctly, Shu Lanru was not as simple as Su Qingcheng described... It was just the look in her eyes when she saw the two holding hands that aroused Ye Tantai's suspicion.

The line of sight in the closet is limited, and now there is nothing within the visual range of the two of them.

But the sound of approaching footsteps reminded the two of them that someone was approaching.

Su Qingcheng's heart was about to rise to her throat, and she began to think about how to deal with it if Princess Huaining found out...

The surroundings were quiet, with their chests touching their backs, Su Qingcheng could clearly hear Ye Tantai's heartbeat, which was steady and strong.

She couldn't help but look at Ye Tantai with admiration. In this atmosphere, this man could still remain calm.

Princess Huaining pushed open the screen. By the time Shu Lanru stopped her, it was already too late. There was nothing behind the screen.

"What are you looking for, aunt? This is the wedding gift given to me by the Queen. I'm afraid I'll be punished if I break it." Shu Lanru ran over in a panic and frowned slightly when she saw the empty place.

Princess Huaining glanced at the screen with disdain in her eyes.

"I thought you were hiding a man secretly," Princess Huaining turned away in disappointment and said coldly and casually, "You'd better not make any mistakes for me tomorrow."

Just after she left, Shu Lanru immediately locked the door and called carefully: "Princess, are you still there?"

Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai came out of the closet. When they saw them, Shu Lanru's eyes flashed with a strange emotion, which was so fast that Su Qingcheng didn't notice it.

But it fell into the eyes of Ye Tantai behind him.

"Fortunately, you hid in the closet." Shu Lanru breathed a sigh of relief and closed the closet door. She turned her back to the two of them and couldn't see their expressions clearly. "I guess my aunt was unhappy when she saw this screen. After all, she has a close relationship with the Queen. Not very good……"

Shu Lanru explained gently, with a little guilt in her eyes.

"I'm afraid Miss Shu has misunderstood. This screen is just the most common glazed light screen in the palace. How could Princess Huaining know at a glance that it was given by the Queen?"

From the beginning to the end, Shu Lanru's eyes were fixed on Su Qingcheng, as if Ye Tantai behind her had never existed. Only after hearing his voice did she move her gaze towards Ye Tantai.

"King Yu Nan doesn't understand. Women are particularly sensitive to such decorative items." She glanced at Ye Tantai coldly, unwilling to spend any more time on him.

"I see," Ye Tantai walked up to Su Qingcheng, with a smile on his lips but sharp eyes, which made people's hair stand on end, "I thought Miss Shu gave Princess Huaining some kind of signal to tell her to come behind the screen... Look. It was a misunderstanding.”

Shu Lanru's face froze, she forced a smile and said, "King Yu Nan is overly worried."

Immediately, she turned to Su Qingcheng, intentionally or unintentionally testing whether Su Qingcheng suspected her: "Princess, you'd better leave quickly. It would be bad if my aunt comes back again."

"Are you okay?" Su Qingcheng pretended to be stupid. Instead of following her words, he looked at the clearly visible slap marks on her face and asked with concern, "Let the people below apply ice cubes later."

"Thank you for your concern, Princess," Shu Lanru smiled gently, like the white lotus blooming in the summer, which was refreshing, "By the way, I will have my things moved into the palace later. After the wedding tomorrow, , and easy to organize.”

Su Qingcheng's face froze, her things...

"Okay, then the prince and I will leave first."

After saying that, Su Qingcheng took Ye Tantai's hand and turned around to leave, walking hastily, as if she was running away from something.

Su Qingcheng stopped when the two of them came to the place where they climbed over the wall. She reached for Ye Tantai's hand absentmindedly, but found that even though she had loosened her grip, their hands were still held together.

"Can't the princess accept it?"

Anyone would be confused by Ye Tantai's incomprehensible words, but Su Qingcheng understood them.

He was referring to the incident just now, why Princess Huaining suddenly walked behind the screen, and it seemed that she was looking for something. It was not the screen that Shu Lanru said at all.
