"Miss Pei, do you have anything else to say?" Su Changfeng's question woke Pei Qianluo up from her daze.

Pei Qianluo lowered her eyes and shook her head in panic. Su Changfeng smiled and nodded at her politely, then took Su Yunxuan away.

The two were about to go to Jinggu Garden to visit Ye Zixi when Yan Yu hurried over to inform them that the owner of Qiongzhi Tower had come to the mansion and had something urgent to discuss with Su Changfeng.

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng and Su Yunxuan changed their route and went to the front hall. The owner of Qiongzhi Tower briefly reported the situation, handed Su Changfeng a secret letter, and left quickly.

Letter from King Xu!

Ali sent it to Qiongzhi Tower.

Clutching the secret letter in his hand, Su Changfeng led Su Yunxuan directly back to the Lakeside Pavilion, his residence in the Princess's Mansion.

Yan Yu also ordered people to place lunch directly in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Seeing Yan Yu getting on the boat and about to leave, Su Yunxuan followed him and asked him to tell Ye Zixi and Ayi that she would go to Jinggu Garden to visit them later.

When Tong Yanyu finished explaining and returned to the pavilion in the center of the lake, Su Changfeng had already finished reading the letter and was holding it in his hand in a daze. His face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

After Su Yunxuan glanced at Ruofeng, who was standing nearby with an equally grim expression, she sat down next to Su Changfeng and raised her hand to gently smooth his brows.

"Brother Changfeng, can I see the letter?" Su Yunxuan asked tentatively.

She had too many questions and confusions.

So many that she didn't know where to start.

The situation was urgent, so she chose not to ask anything and just wanted to accompany Su Changfeng to leave Fenglan safely.

But now, it is clear that they will not leave Fenglan immediately...

"Yunxuan, do you believe me?" Su Changfeng put away the letter and put it in his arms.

Su Yunxuan looked at his movements and nodded slightly subconsciously, saying "Of course", but a chill and uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.

At this moment, she realized that Su Changfeng, like Feng Yuqi, also wanted to keep her in the dark and prevent her from participating in anything.

She stared at Su Changfeng in disbelief, trying hard to read something on his face to deny her guess.

But Su Changfeng's next words immediately confirmed that her guess was correct.

He said, "Then don't ask anything for now, just stay with me and be safe."

"No." Su Yunxuan stood up suddenly and avoided Su Changfeng's hand that was reaching out to her hair.

"Yunxuan?" Su Changfeng looked puzzled.

Su Yunxuan took a step back, looked at Su Changfeng pleadingly and expressed her needs: "Brother Changfeng, I don't want you to be like Feng Yuqi, hiding everything from me and not letting me participate in anything..."

"Yunxuan?" Su Changfeng also stood up in surprise.

He didn't expect Su Yunxuan to be so disgusted by his words. He just wanted to protect her and didn't want her to get hurt...

Noticing the hurt in Su Yunxuan's eyes, Su Changfeng felt a pain in his heart and took a step forward to explain.

Su Yunxuan stepped back again, distanced herself from him, and said calmly, "I know you are all doing this for my own good and want to protect me."

"But I don't like this, nor do I want it to be like this. Brother Changfeng, I have lived my whole life in a daze, and I really hate this feeling of not knowing anything and passively waiting to be arranged by others..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Changfeng quickened his pace and took her into his arms with concern.

"I'm sorry, Yunxuan, I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings, I'm telling you, I'm telling you everything."

His tone was full of regret and his apology was spoken cautiously.

Su Yunxuan felt a warm current in her heart, and she hugged Su Changfeng's waist in response and said, "Thank you for understanding me."

The two sat back down at the table.

Su Changfeng took out the letter and handed it to Su Yunxuan worriedly, and whispered: "Don't get excited. I will tell you if you have any questions after reading it."

Su Yunxuan took the letter puzzled and nodded to Su Changfeng before she unfolded the letter and read the contents carefully. However, the more she read, the more excited and frightened she became.

She read faster and faster, and soon she had finished reading the contents of the letter. However, her heart was like a storm and huge waves, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the letter, Prince Xu mainly told Su Changfeng three things.

First, Prince Xu has confirmed with the Queen Mother that the true identity of Feng Yuqi's mother, Ye Yingbai, is indeed the eldest daughter, Bai Yeying, who suddenly disappeared in Taifu Yunsheng's mansion that year, and the specific process is just as he told Su Changfeng.

Secondly, the Queen Mother has admitted that when her father wanted to draft an edict to seek peace and bring the Queen Mother and the Princess back to Yunsheng, the Queen Mother did secretly contact Ye Yingbai and ordered her to get rid of the Queen Mother and the Princess.

Third, Prince Xu told Su Changfeng that he could not stop the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother might have already taken action. The Emperor had been in a trance for several days, and the imperial physician could not diagnose the cause. He asked Su Changfeng to take the princess back to Yunsheng as soon as possible.

Su Changfeng was nervously watching Su Yunxuan as she read the letter.

Seeing her face getting paler and her whole body trembling uncontrollably, he hurriedly held Su Yunxuan's shaking hands, quickly took out the letter and stuffed it back into her arms with one hand, and advised: "Eat something first, I'll talk to you slowly."

Su Yunxuan's mind was in a mess. She panicked and grabbed Su Changfeng's warm hand with her backhand, just wanting to warm up her cold palm.

Suddenly, she stood up and said hoarsely: "Brother Changfeng, let's go back to Yunsheng. We will go back to Yunsheng right away."

Su Changfeng stood up and pushed her back to her seat. He squatted in front of her, wrapped her hands, looked up at her and said, "We can't go back now..."

"Why?" Su Yunxuan interrupted.

"Don't worry, Prince Xu will do his best to protect your father's safety. I will also let Ali take Ayi back to Yunsheng to find out the cause of your father's illness." Su Changfeng comforted Su Yunxuan.

Su Yunxuan also stared at Su Changfeng, her eyes still filled with worry and confusion.

Su Changfeng had no choice but to tell the truth: "I can't go back now. The peace talks have not been concluded yet."

"Do we have to negotiate peace?"

Su Changfeng was stunned by the question, and the two looked at each other in silence, as if time froze for a moment.

After a moment, Su Changfeng turned his head away first, stood up and turned his back, and said in a hoarse but firm voice: "Yes."

"Why?" Su Yunxuan stood up and her tone became extremely excited.

In her opinion, nothing is more important than her father's safety at this moment.

Su Changfeng turned around and pinched Su Yunxuan's shoulders, changing the subject and saying, "I'll tell you everything I know first, okay?"

Without waiting for Su Yunxuan to speak again, Su Changfeng helped Su Yunxuan sit down again and said, "You should have guessed what happened on Yunzhong Cliff. Feng Yuqi released Ruofeng and me on the condition that Yunsheng took the initiative to seek peace."

Su Yunxuan did not object. Su Changfeng sat opposite her and continued, "I saw my grandfather for the last time after returning to Yunsheng..."

"Brother Changfeng..." Su Yunxuan heard the pain in his words and wanted to comfort him.

Su Changfeng smiled and stopped him, "Don't worry, he passed away peacefully."

Su Yunxuan stopped interrupting and chose to believe Su Changfeng and listen to him attentively.

Su Changfeng: "While I was keeping vigil, King Xu came to visit again. We talked all night long, and I realized that I had made many mistakes."

Then he changed the subject: "Let me first tell you about the past of Prince Xu, the Queen Mother, and my grandfather, Master Bai. Your grandfather may also be involved in it."

"This story is too long, and the food was cold by the time I finished telling it. I waited for you in Qiyuan Pavilion without having breakfast..." He said, looking at Su Yunxuan pitifully.

"Let's continue after we finish our meal." Su Yunxuan interrupted hurriedly, sat up straight, picked up the chopsticks on the table and stuffed them into Su Changfeng's hands.

"Yeah." Su Changfeng took it and nodded with a smile.

The two finished their meal quietly, and Su Changfeng formally explained the past and entanglements between Prince Xu, the Queen Mother and Master Bai.
