Just as Zhao Xingzhou was about to leave, his mother stopped him and asked, "When are you going to go to the princess and tell her about sending your two nephews to the Imperial College?"

He tried his best to avoid his mother these days, but in the end he couldn't avoid her.

He said in a deep voice: "This is a huge favor. I don't think I have the face to do it, so I have to help the princess first. I will be away for a while and come back after I have done the job."

When Zhao's mother heard him say this, she let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Mom knows, you won't let me down! Go, and come back soon!"

Zhao Xingzhou hid the disappointment in his eyes and said, "Please take good care of father, mother. I will be back as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the mansion without looking back.

The carriage passed by Prince Su's Mansion. Zhao Xingzhou handed a letter to the servant and left the capital.

"How is it? Have you found out any news from the Prince's Mansion?" Su Lingyue asked Yun Ting.

Yun Ting said: "The Prince's Mansion is well guarded, no news has leaked out."

Su Lingyue retracted her gaze and frowned, "After what happened at Longhua Temple last time, she must be very cautious this time. If she doesn't come out, then we have to find a way to get her out. Let me think about it."

Just as she was about to let Yun Ting go, Su Lingyue suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, it's been six days since I last received a letter. Has the prince's letter arrived?"

Yun Ting said: "I haven't received it yet."

Su Lingyue turned around depressedly, rested her elbows on the round table, held up her cheeks, and sighed, "I know, you can go back, and give me the letter as soon as you get it."

Under the candlelight, Su Lingyue's nose was small and straight, her long eyelashes were curled like butterfly wings, and her lips were shiny in the candlelight.

Not hearing any footsteps leaving, Su Lingyue turned her head curiously and saw Yun Ting standing there in a daze.

Before Su Lingyue could speak, Yun Ting came to his senses, turned around and strode out of the hall without saying anything, without closing the door.

Su Lingyue continued to hold her chin up in her hand, depressed, "Ah Jing, why hasn't the prince sent a letter back yet? He wouldn't have forgotten, would he?"

Beside him, Li Jing said nothing, staring at the open door of the small hall with cold eyes.

She saw Yun Ting's greedy look just now.

"Is the prince ill? ... Probably not, since Uncle Lu is here."

"Will they encounter robbers? ... Probably not. Yan Qing and Lin Chuan are both good at martial arts, and Uncle Lu knows both medicine and poison."

"Hey? Why is the door not closed? The cold air is coming in!" Caiyi walked over mutteringly, put the lunch box on the table in front of Su Lingyue, and turned around to close the door.

Su Lingyue replied lazily: "Yun Ting left just now and didn't close the door."

Seeing Su Lingyue's depressed look, Caiyi knew that her young lady must be thinking about the prince again.

Fortunately, she had foresight and ordered someone to cook sweet soup.

After drinking the sweet soup, the lady will forget all her worries.

Caiyi opened the food box, and the sweet smell of red bean and glutinous rice wine meatballs instantly hit her face.

Sure enough, when Su Lingyue smelled the fragrance of the fermented rice balls, she immediately sat up straight, staring at the fermented rice balls with her eyes curved with a smile.

"Caiyi, a poached egg is enough for me."

"Okay, you can have more after you finish eating. There's more in the pot!"

Caiyi served the sweet soup in front of Su Lingyue, and served another bowl to Li Jing. "Ah Jing, this is for you."

Li Jing took the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and drank the soup in silence.

Caiyi served herself a bowl and asked Su Lingyue, "Miss, where is Caidie?"

Su Lingyue put down the spoon and said, "Go get some preserved fruit from Butler Wu."

As he was speaking, Caidie came in with a food box and a letter in her hand.

"Miss, this is a letter from Mr. Zhao." Caidie handed the envelope to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue put down the spoon, opened the letter and opened it.

"What's written?" Caidie asked curiously.

"Some words of thanks, and that he's going to the West for a while."

Su Lingyue put down the letter, scooped up a sticky meatball and put it into her mouth, looking very satisfied.

In the evening, after Su Lingyue washed and bathed, she lay down on the bed with her long, soft black hair spread out on the bed.

Caiyi smiled and pulled the quilt over her to cover her. After tucking in the corners of the quilt, she lowered the bean pink gauze curtain and walked out of the room.

After hearing the door closing, Su Lingyue sat up, stuck her head out of the gauze curtain, looked around, then got up and put on her shoes.

She came to the wardrobe against the wall, opened it, took out a set of snow-white underwear, and then closed the door gently without making any sound.

Carrying the clothes back to the bed, Su Lingyue took off her inner clothes, folded them and placed them on the bed, then changed into the inner clothes she had just taken.

But the suit was obviously too big for Su Lingyue, hanging loosely on her body, with the trouser legs stacked on her fair feet.

The neckline of the dress was a little low, revealing a pink heart embroidered with butterflies underneath.

Su Lingyue was very satisfied. She lay back in the bed, smiled and closed her eyes.

Just fold it and put it back tomorrow morning.

At the hour of Yin, the gates of Kyoto opened, and under the dim light, a pear wood carved carriage slowly drove into the city.

The gatekeeper symbolically lifted the door curtain to check. There were four people in the group, all of them looked tired, and it was obvious that they had traveled a long way.

After a brief interrogation, the guard let them go.

"It's cold at night, you have to take a bath first, soak your body in hot water before going to bed, and remember to take medicine before going to bed."

"Yes."

After Xiao Yu agreed to everything, Doctor Lu let him go back to his room. Yan Qing sent him to the bedroom door and then ordered someone to prepare a medicinal bath for Xiao Yu.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu pushed open the door and a warm current came towards him, bringing with it the familiar scent of jasmine.

Xiao Yu curled the corners of his lips, walked in, and closed the door.

Blowing out the fire stick to light the candle, the room instantly became bright.

Everything was the same as before he left, except for the gauze curtains, which were a different color.

Xiao Yu walked lightly to the bedside, and with his slender white hands he lifted the double-layered gauze curtain. He saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, wrapped in a soft mattress with a peaceful look on her face.

He had no intention of disturbing her sweet dream, but Xiao Yu's heart was beating so fast that he felt like his heart was about to jump out with joy.

Xiao Yu sat down beside the bed, leaned over, and gently pressed his cool lips against the little face, soft and warm.

"Hmm." The beard rubbed against him, causing a tingling sensation. Su Lingyue hummed and raised her hand to scratch it.

It’s just that…the sleeves were too long, so she could only wipe them with her sleeves.

Seeing the extra sleeves, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then he suppressed a low chuckle.

The idea of ​​not waking her up was completely forgotten.

The smile in Xiao Yu's eyes spread completely.

He put his fingers into his sleeves and began to fiddle with his soft fingers as if doing something evil.

His fingers couldn't bear it anymore and curled up, and Xiao Yu scratched the soft and warm palm again.

Su Lingyue groaned in dissatisfaction and tried to pull her hand back, but Xiao Yu's hand was pressing down on her sleeve and she couldn't pull it away at all.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Unable to bear the annoyance, Su Lingyue raised her other hand and slapped Xiao Yu while waving it around.

Although her hand was not very strong, the surroundings were so quiet at the moment that any sound was particularly loud.

Su Lingyue slowly opened her eyes and saw a face she had never seen before.

"what!"

In fear, Su Lingyue rolled into the bed, hugging the quilt and screaming.

Xiao Yu didn't expect to scare Su Lingyue, so he quickly spoke to comfort her, "Yue'er, it's me, I'm back."

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Lingyue was stunned.

After carefully identifying the face in front of her, she remembered that this was the mask Xiao Yu had used when he left.

After the fear comes the great injustice.

Su Lingyue burst into tears with a "wow".

She shouldn't have been disturbed from sleeping.

Xiao Yu blamed himself in his heart. He pulled Su Lingyue, who was crying at the foot of the bed, into his arms and comforted her distressedly, "Yue'er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disturbed your sleep."

He held Su Lingyue's slender and fragile body tightly in his arms, patting her back gently to comfort her.

Caiyi Luzhu who lived next door heard the crying and woke up instantly.

Caiyi didn't have time to put on her coat and shoes and ran out barefoot.

I came to the door of Su Lingyue's room, opened it and walked around the screen, and saw a man sitting beside the bed. Su Lingyue was sobbing softly in his arms.

"Good girl Yue'er, it's okay, it's okay."

"Are you... the prince?" Caiyi asked tentatively.

Xiao Yu recognized Cai Yi's voice and ordered, "Pour a cup of hot tea."

"Yes." Caiyi hurried to the stove, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took the hot tea and coaxed Su Lingyue to drink it in a gentle voice.

Su Lingyue took small sips of tea from the cup that was brought to her lips, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the fear faded away and Su Lingyue's thoughts gradually returned to normal.

Looking carefully at the face in front of him, he said angrily, "You scared me."

Only then did Xiao Yu remember that he was still wearing a mask.
