Above the restaurant, people came and went, no one noticed the strangeness of the three of them.

Xiao Duo glanced at Chang Ying, who had only recuperated his muscles and bones, but did not modify his appearance. Chang Ying's skin was already fair, but at this moment he looked like a clean and fresh young man. He looked back at his red-faced Lieutenant General, suddenly, a wave of displeasure rose in his heart.

Xiao Duo raised his hand to touch his nose, and turned his body sideways, unobtrusively blocking Zhao Cheng's peeping eyes at Changying.

Huo Changying, who was standing by the side, witnessed the man's subtle movements all the way, and couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he thought Xiao Duo, who was so stern and erroneous, was so cute, it only made his hands itch.

When the two of them returned home to pack up and get into the carriage.

It was only then that Huo Changying approached Xiao Duo, and while no one was paying attention, he raised his hand to pinch the man's expressionless handsome face from just now.

Xiao Duo: "..."

Xiao Duo, who was looking out the window, was suddenly pinched in the face for the first time, and he didn't realize it for a long time. When he came back to his senses, Huo Changying quickly withdrew and hid in the corner of the carriage.

Xiao Duo looked at Chang Ying who was smiling like a fox, held it back, but in the end he couldn't hold it back, stretched out his hand to pull him onto his lap, pinched Chang Ying's waist, and asked with a serious face on purpose: "If it's an ordinary person, how can you offend me?" Husband, that's disrespectful, you," before he finished speaking, his cheek hurt, and was pinched by Chang Ying again.

"Ha ha ha ha,"

Huo Changying raised his head and laughed until tears came out. He leaned down and pressed against the darkened Xiao Duo's ear, exhaling on purpose and saying softly, "Who let me be, your husband is me."

The breath in the ear was warm, the young man's tone was frivolous, Xiao Duo's eyes dimmed, and the hand pinching the baby's waist slightly tightened, "Husband?" There was a gritted smile in the voice.

Huo Changying raised his eyebrows with a smile, and just about to speak a few more words of flirtation, he felt someone press his neck, and then his jaw was firmly clamped, and a kiss full of Xiao Duo's strong breath fell down.

The man bit his lips as punishment, and Xiao Duo finally stopped biting his lips when he cried out in pain. Huo Changying gasped for a few moments, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Duo leaned forward again. When he opened his mouth to breathe, he drove straight in, conquering the city, and only gave up when his legs were weak and his eyes were blurred.

The two of them got bored in the carriage, completely ignoring Zhao Cheng who was driving the carriage outside.

Zhao Cheng looked back at the closed curtain, the cold north wind slapped his face indiscriminately, Zhao Cheng flicked his horsewhip resentfully, shouted "Drive!", and accelerated his speed.

The two people in the carriage were about to separate, but because of the sudden acceleration of the carriage, they collided again.

If so, it was past noon when the two arrived at the gate of the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, there were maids waiting there for a long time. Seeing the two people get off the carriage, they rushed up to meet them.

Huo Changying just realized that the person who came was actually the Queen Wang's side. He was a little surprised, but then he thought that the person who could summon him into the palace, if not the Emperor, would be the Queen Wang. Concubine Nie made things difficult for him before.

And there are also servants around the emperor there, who are clearly leading the way for Xiao Duo.

The two looked at each other, Xiao Duo signaled Changying to be at ease, and then followed the servant to the emperor's imperial study.

Hearing that she couldn't speak, she stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation, motioning for Huo Changying to go with her, Changying nodded his thanks.

The two of them were silent all the way to Hanguang Hall.

On the way, when passing the Taiye Pond, Huo Changying paid close attention, but he didn't know if it was because of the strong yang energy in the daytime, he didn't notice anything unusual.

On the contrary, Penglai Island was indeed surrounded by faint auspicious aura, but this auspicious aura was as vague as a veil, and when Huo Changying wanted to investigate carefully, it disappeared, like a hallucination.

Not long after, the two arrived at Hanguang Hall, and they were able to enter after the notification.

Climbing up the steps, the vastness of Zichen Palace gradually unfolds in the eyes, the sky is blue, and the whole palace is silent, only the occasional wind blows through the copper bells on the eaves, and the bells jingle.

Huo Changying looked down at the stone steps under his feet, and followed the steps of the leading lady. He knew that this was a high platform in the side hall of Hanguang Hall, which was connected to the main hall through the high platform.

Here, you can clearly see the best scene in Zichen Palace - the Royal Garden, Taiye Pool.

The high typhoon was very windy, so he wrapped himself in a cloak before stepping onto the last step.

On the high platform, Queen Wang came out from behind the bead curtain, and looked at Huo Changying, who was kneeling on the ground submissively, with his head bowed, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Mother--"

Seeing that Queen Wang didn't speak, the maid next to her stepped forward to signal, but the queen who came back to her senses waved her hand, and she said flatly: "Everyone back down."

The voice was gentle, but the coercion in it could not be underestimated. The palace people agreed in unison, and they all retreated behind the vermilion pillar a few meters away.

Huo Changying kept his head down, trying to put on an obedient appearance, but kept paying attention to the hem of the embroidered gold and phoenix pattern in front of him, only to see Queen Wang turn around and sit on the soft cushion that had already been placed, and then put it on the wooden mat beside her. After a few minutes, he asked Huo Changying to get up, gave him a mat, and sat down.

The weather today is fine and sunny, but still very cold up high.

Huo Changying, who was already afraid of the cold, was a little overwhelmed. He carefully wrapped his robe tightly and hid his hands in the cuffs to feel a lot better.

Empress Wang noticed his subtle movements, she opened her mouth, and there seemed to be a flash of worry in her eyes, and after a while, she calmed down again, only the grace of a queen.

She asked: "I heard that Miss Chang is not in good health, but now she is recovering?"

Huo Changying was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand why the queen suddenly cared about his body, he said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, little girl. The root cause of the little girl's illness has been living in the Duke's mansion recently. She took care of her patiently. It rarely recurs."

"Oh?" Queen Wang still looked at him with complicated emotions in her eyes. She opened her mouth, but then changed the subject and asked, "The Xiao family treats you well?"

Huo Changying lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "It's really good."

Queen Wang looked at the emotion on his face, and found that it was impossible to fake, the complexion of the person in front of her was much rosier than the day before, so she looked away, and murmured: "Then I can rest assured."

Huo Changying didn't hear what Queen Wang said, and was about to say something, when Queen Wang waved her hand and said, "What do you think of the scenery here?"

When Queen Wang said this, there was a brisk smile in her tone, as if she was an ordinary elder, but Huo Changying became more and more suspicious, and hurriedly summoned him to the palace. Could it be just to gossip?

He followed the line of sight of Queen Wang, and he could see the beautiful scenery in Zichen Palace. The Taiye Pool was vast and vast, and the three rockeries of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang seemed to be shrouded in mist. The palace in the distance was majestic, and the whole The best viewing point of the Royal Palace is here.

However, Huo Changying had watched this scene that ordinary people were amazed by all his life, and seeing it now, he felt a sense of vicissitudes that time goes by.

He nodded, "It's so beautiful."

Queen Wang smiled kindly when she heard the words. Huo Changying seemed to be able to see the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes clearly, but that smile was undeniably beautiful.

She sighed: "Everyone knows that the beauty of this imperial palace is unparalleled in the world, but this palace always thinks of the small scenery of mountains and fields that followed His Majesty when I was young,"

Queen Wang turned her head to look at Huo Changying, her eyes were full of love for the younger generation, but her tone was quite meaningful: "Everyone agrees, it may not be suitable for you, find the one that suits you best, that's the best,"

Huo Changying didn't know what Queen Wang meant by her words, but she still nodded in agreement with her.

Seeing that he is so obedient, Queen Wang smiled, tapped her fingers on the table twice, and suddenly asked curiously: "If you were you, how would you choose?"

"Nature is the right person, the right thing."

Hearing this, Queen Wang laughed, looked at him and said, "I hope you can remember what you said today."

The two were talking, but suddenly a palace official ran over in a panic and fell to the ground with a plop.

Displeasure flashed across Queen Wang's brows, "I'm flustered, what a shame."

The palace man must have been afraid of being in a hurry, and because he was running in a hurry on the road, he trembled and panted, "Mother, the prince is seriously ill!" After speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground, buried his head and face between his arms, not daring to raise his head Look at the queen.

"what!"

Empress Wang stood up abruptly, knocked over the hot tea poured by the maid beside her and wet her dress, and didn't care, "Didn't the imperial doctor say that there are signs of improvement recently?" Her tone was steady, but the ending trembled, it was a mother concerns about their own children.

The palace man shivered, and said: "The prince is indeed much better today, so he wanted to go out to get some air, but he coughed up blood as soon as he walked out of the courtyard." Such as sifting chaff.

The palace servants of Hanguang Palace had already knelt on the ground, only those who heard the words remained calm, and hurriedly went out to prepare sedan chairs.

Not long after, the chariot was ready.

When the palace people knelt down one after another, Huo Changying knelt down, lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of presence. When he saw the corner of the empress's embroidered phoenix-patterned garment drifting past, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Queen Wang, who was about to step out of the room, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head to look at Huo Changying who was kneeling, with complicated expressions in her eyes, but she said, "I often heard that the Qinghe Chang family started their career as a doctor. Miss Chang, you too Let's go see the prince together, Ben Gong."

She said with a sigh, "Maybe this is too incurable disease, you can find other ways." She said, without waiting for Changying to agree, she hurried out.

It is extremely unruly for a woman who has a marriage contract but has not yet been married to go to the East Palace where the prince lives. Listening to the expression, the eyebrows frowned slightly.

But when Changying stood up and raised his head, he regained his usual calmness.

At this time, Huo Changying had no choice but to bite the bullet and say "yes" before getting up and walking a few steps to catch up with the queen.

Although the East Palace where the prince lives is also in the imperial city, it is still a certain distance from the Zichen Palace where the emperor lives.

At this time, it was almost dusk, half of the long corridor of Zichen Palace was shadowed, and half was bright, but people could not feel the warmth of the setting sun at all, only felt the bone-chilling chill.

East Palace, Hall of Yihe.

The imperial physicians in the room were running around in a hurry, when they heard the voice of the servant announcing the Queen's arrival, they all knelt down to greet Fengjia.

Huo Changying followed the queen into the hall, and saw the imperial physician kneeling all over the room.

Queen Wang questioned several imperial physicians, they all shook their heads, saying that they had tried their best, but couldn't say anything more. Seeing these imperial physicians like this, although they were annoyed, they knew that the attack was unintentional.

Then he walked quickly to the inner room and talked carefully with the weak prince.

Through the heavy veil, Huo Changying could only vaguely see the gray and emaciated face of the prince. It was indeed even weaker than what he saw on New Year's Eve, as if he had only one breath left to hang on.

He did vaguely remember that in the fall of this year, the crown prince, who had been ill for a long time, finally couldn't get over it and died of illness. After that, a group of ministers headed by Nie Ran embraced the third prince as the crown prince. Not long after the establishment of the crown prince, the emperor and empress passed away one after another. After her death, Concubine Nie became a woman at the pinnacle of imperial power.

The prince's illness was strange, and his death was also strange. He had a vague impression that something important happened during this period, but ever since he recalled the childhood memories with A Duo, everything he had seen in the previous life seemed to be fading uncontrollably.

"—Miss Chang, the empress called you in."

Huo Changying was in a trance, but he heard the maid's voice from beside his ears, he hesitated for a moment, and followed the maid into the room.

When he stepped into the inner room, the door behind him, which had been wide open, suddenly closed with a "squeak".
