In a daze, Su Lingyue was awakened by the soft touch of her lips. When she raised her eyes, she saw the familiar cold jade-like face. She opened her mouth slightly and responded to Xiao Yu's kiss.

After a plunder, the big hand that was clasping the back of the neck gradually loosened. Su Lingyue's face flushed and she was breathing lightly. Her bright eyes were misty as she looked straight at Xiao Yu.

"Is Yue'er awake?" Xiao Yu supported his head, lay on his side, lowered his eyes and gazed at her tenderly, his hand gently stroking her slightly red cheek.

"Yeah." Su Lingyue's heart was filled with ripples. She couldn't calm down when she looked at Xiao Yu.

After knowing some things, some emotions in her heart seemed to change. Things that she thought could be done another day or taken slowly were now limited by time.

The emotions that had been deliberately suppressed were no longer restrained, and finally broke out of the ground and grew wildly.

Su Lingyue had been restraining herself in the past few days because Xiao Yu had not fully recovered from the poisoning. Now that she is getting better, she no longer wants to suppress her thoughts.

"Prince, come again." She said softly, raised her slender arms, climbed onto Xiao Yu's neck, and pulled him towards her.

Xiao Yu did not resist and let Su Lingyue pull him over.

The rosy and warm lips were brought to Xiao Yu's lips, sucking and licking gently, and the lips rubbed against each other. Su Lingyue felt unsatisfied and continued to explore inside and entangle with him.

Only when both of them were out of breath did Su Lingyue leave Xiao Yu's lips contentedly.

"It's getting late. I still have some things to deal with today. Let's continue in the evening." Xiao Yu gently stroked Su Lingyue's cheek, his eyes gentle and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"Yeah." Su Lingyue nodded with a red face, pecked Xiao Yu on the face, and loosened her arms that were around Xiao Yu's neck.

"What is your Highness going to do today? Is it dangerous?" Su Lingyue asked him while tying Xiao Yu's belt.

"Lord Jiang's matter, and Sima Changfeng's matter." Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, looked at Su Lingyue who was carefully tidying up his robes, and smiled: "Also, repairing the palace for my princess and making a swing are top priorities."

Su Lingyue felt warm in her heart. It was just a mumbling, but he had kept it in his heart.

"These are not very important. Your Highness can take care of other important things first." Su Lingyue said softly, with a slight smile on her lips.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue and said softly, "Yue'er's matter is the most important thing to me."

Su Lingyue's eyes were hot, and she said softly: "For me, the prince is the most important. I'm afraid you'll get tired, so just take your time."

Xiao Yu smiled and gently stroked Su Lingyue's long hair.

At this time, Caidie Caiyi also knocked on the door and came in to help Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue wash up.

Xiao Yu was already dressed, Caidie helped him wash up, while Caiyi helped Su Lingyue to do her makeup.

After matching Su Lingyue's headdress and earrings, Caiyi suddenly knelt down beside Su Lingyue and said, "Miss, please send someone to find where Ji Tang is. I'm very worried about him."

Su Lingyue chuckled and pulled her up, "The prince will ask Yun Ting to look for him today. Don't worry, the prince and I will tell you the first time we have any news. Right, prince?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded lightly.

After hearing what Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue said, Caiyi's tense little face relaxed.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Yu went to the study to discuss something with Yan Qingyunting. Su Lingyue also had her own things to do, so she left the house.

Now, the most important thing for Su Lingyue is to find the spiritual fire grass.

The only people she could think of who could help her were her uncle's family and Zhao Xingzhou.

She had mentioned her uncle's family before, but she didn't know if there was any news recently. She wanted to go and ask first. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, she couldn't miss it.

After Su Lingyue talked with Mrs. Jiang, she found out that she had been asking people from businesses across the country to look for the person, but there had been no news.

After briefly telling Mrs. Jiang about Xiao Yu's investigation, Su Lingyue left the Jiang Mansion.

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Su Lingyue took a deep breath and said to Caidie Caiyi, "Let's go to Zhao's Business."

When Su Lingyue arrived at Zhao's Trading Company on South Street in the capital, Zhao Xingzhou was just taking inventory of the unloaded goods in the shop. When he saw Su Lingyue coming, he handed the account book, paper and pen in his hand to the shopkeeper.

"Greetings, Princess!" Zhao Xingzhou bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Zhao, please don't be so polite." Su Lingyue also nodded slightly at him.

Zhao Xingzhou stood up and asked, "Why did the princess come here today? I heard that something happened on the way to Qifu. How are you and the prince?"

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened." Su Lingyue said calmly: "It's just that I have something that I would like to ask Mr. Zhao for help. Can we borrow a place to talk?"

Zhao Xingzhou took her to the private room of the teahouse opposite and said with a smile: "Princess, tell me what it is. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

The fewer people knew about Xiao Yu's physical condition, the better. She didn't plan to tell Zhao Xingzhou the truth, just in case.

"I'm not feeling well, and I need a herb to heal me. But this herb is a little hard to find. I thought you've been doing business for many years, and you're more knowledgeable than me, so maybe you know where to find it."

"What medicine? Princess, just tell me."

"Spiritual Fire Grass is said to grow in the dry places in the west and is very rare. You have been doing business there for many years, I wonder if you have seen it anywhere."

Hearing this, Zhao Xingzhou shook his head and said, "I occasionally bring some medicinal herbs for others, but I have never heard of the herbs that the princess mentioned."

"Yeah."

Su Lingyue was a little depressed, but when she thought of Xiao Yu, she seemed to have strength again. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Mr. Zhao, can you ask your company to help find it? Price is not a problem."

Zhao Xingzhou nodded slightly, "That's no problem. I'll go back and tell my father and have him notify all the businesses across the country."

Su Lingyue bowed to him as a woman and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I also want you to not tell anyone else. It's me who wants it, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"That's no problem! Don't worry, Princess. As long as I have news, I will tell you the first time."

"Okay, thank you."

After talking with Zhao Xingzhou, it was already noon. To express her gratitude, Su Lingyue wanted to treat Zhao Xingzhou to a meal, so she said, "Mr. Zhao, it's noon now, why don't we go to Zuixianju for a meal together!"

Zhao Xingzhou has always wanted to be on good terms with Prince Su's Mansion, and he did not reject Su Lingyue's proposal.

The two men each rode in a carriage and stopped at the gate of Zuixianju. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw another carriage that had just stopped.

It’s Xiao Changan.

When Su Lingyue saw him, he happened to look at Su Lingyue, and his gaze finally stopped on Zhao Xingzhou beside Su Lingyue.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jing!" Zhao Xingzhou bowed to Xiao Changan.

"No need to be polite!" Xiao Chang'an raised the corners of his lips, with an ambiguous smile in his eyes, and said: "The emperor's aunt met another man alone today, did the emperor's uncle know?"

"This has nothing to do with King Jing." Su Lingyue said coldly, and then said to Zhao Xingzhou: "Master Zhao, let's go up, don't pay attention to him!"

After saying that, he and Zhao Xingzhou went up to the private room on the third floor of Zuixianju.

"It seems that the princess does not have a good relationship with King Jing?" Zhao Xingzhou asked puzzledly.

Su Lingyue said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the royal family are very complicated. Xiao Changan is a bit abnormal. Mr. Zhao should try not to associate with him in the future."

Zhao Xingzhou nodded slightly.

After entering the private room and sitting down, Su Lingyue ordered two dishes at random and handed the menu to Zhao Xingzhou. However, she was still thinking about Xiao Changan.

He must be here for something; he wouldn't come here to eat alone.

Su Lingyue then called Caiyi and said, "Caiyi, ask Laifu to watch downstairs and see who Xiao Changan is with. You just watch outside the private room."

"Yes, Miss." Caiyi walked out after receiving Su Lingyue's instructions.

Su Lingyue and Zhao Xingzhou were halfway through their lunch when Caiyi came in and whispered in Su Lingyue's ear, "Miss, it's the daughter of the Zhongshu Ling family."

Su Lingyue nodded.

Zhao Xingzhou on the opposite side was drinking tea by himself and didn't look at her.

She didn't know if Zhao Xingzhou would think she was being distant, so she thought it would be better to explain. After all, she thought Zhao Xingzhou was a pretty good person, someone she could make friends with.

Su Lingyue picked up the teacup in front of her and said to Zhao Xingzhou, "Mr. Zhao, Xiao Changan and I actually have some grievances. I did this because I wanted to be on guard against him. I didn't tell you because I was worried that you would get involved and cause you trouble. Please forgive me!"

Zhao Xingzhou smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I don't mind. When I first met you, I felt that you were someone I could make friends with."

After saying that, he raised his teacup and saluted Su Lingyue.

After having a very pleasant lunch with Zhao Xingzhou and saying goodbye, Su Lingyue just returned to the palace and met Yan Qing and Xiao Yu who got off the carriage.

Su Lingyue walked over with a smile on her face and took Xiao Yu's arm, "My Lord, where have you been?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Su Lingyue, saying: "I was doing something, unfortunately, I just happened to pass by Zuixianju."

Su Lingyue listened and felt that Xiao Yu was not very happy. Did he see her and Zhao Xingzhou?
