The next day, outside the main hall, the courtiers were chattering, exchanging and sharing the news of yesterday's punishment of the prince to kneel, they didn't know the reason, but they all thought that he would not come today.

The next moment, they bumped their elbows and shut their mouths.

No one expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would appear with his waist straight as if he was nothing, but his lips were whiter, and the figure of Lin Zhiming was missing behind him.

In the palace, the old emperor did not show a displeased look, and even praised His Royal Highness the Prince, and the reward that should be received was the same.

Everyone ended the day in a fog, and some of the bold and gossipy ones followed Su Yunqi and asked him if he knew why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was punished yesterday?

Su Yunqi suddenly changed his face, and said solemnly, "How can you talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind your back."

Then they heard Qin Tianze behind them and called out to Su Yunqi, and he walked over slowly and expressionlessly.

That's right! I almost forgot that Prime Minister Su Cheng was the one who was about to become His Royal Highness's father-in-law, didn't they ask the wrong person?

Those who wanted to listen to Bahang froze in place at a loss for a while, and then they all arched their hands, covered their faces tightly, and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness."

Qin Tianze didn't seem to see them, he only looked at Su Yunqi and said, "This palace is about to go to my uncle's mansion, let's go to it."

Su Yunqi first quietly glanced at the group of people watching the excitement, and then asked, "Your Highness is going to find Yanran?"

Qin Tianze nodded slightly, then didn't wait for him anymore, and walked away first.

Everyone thought they were going to see their fiancée, and they thought they were coming to scold them!

But...... Then again, why didn't Lin follow him?

Is she sick or jealous, and she is having trouble with His Highness?

"Ahh——!h

Lin Yanzhi, who was eating breakfast in the Octagonal Pavilion, sneezed again, and Tao Xing hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, patted Lin Yanzhi on the back and handed her a handkerchief.

"My lord, have you been sick by Your Highness? This is the third."

Lin Yanzhi sniffed, rubbed it again, and said, "It's not like it, hmm...... Just in case, should we all drink some ginger tea?"

Tao Xing nodded: "Slave maid will cook it later, adult, you drink one more bowl, once this winter is over, it will be even colder when the snow melts."

Ginkgo looked at the pavilion and said, "Slave maid go get some cloth, fence it all up, and block out some wind and snow."

Lin Yanzhi didn't say a word, Ginkgo ran away by herself, she looked at her back, pulled Tao Xing and whispered: "Tao Xing, you look at her more, she is so used to her temperament, I am afraid that when she comes out of this Qingjun Garden, she will offend a noble person unconsciously."

"My lord, since you have offended, don't you still have Your Highness?" Momo-apricot quipped.

Lin Yanzhi heard her words, although she was smiling on her face, she was hanging in her heart, she was afraid that Her Royal Highness might not be able to protect her, let alone Tao Xing.

As if to respond to her thoughts, Mama Li's voice sounded outside the courtyard gate.

"Get out of the way yet!"

Lin Yanzhi and Tao Xing looked at each other inexplicably, and then walked over, only to find that there were two people guarding the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, Lin Yanzhi admired it very much, she could keep the pestle here on this cold day, and she didn't know how long they had been standing.

Then I saw that the two of them didn't look at Mama Li, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one should approach and disturb Lord Lin's purity."

Mama Li said with a smile on her face, "I am here to invite Lord Lin over at the behest of the queen's mother."

She stared at the two men, thinking that they would get out of the way when they heard it, but they were still motionless like ice sculptures, and she was so angry that she was about to say a few more words, but when she heard the voice behind her, she instantly turned sideways and stepped aside.

"What if this palace has to take people away today?"

The queen stood in front of them, and in her tone you could hear that she was now extremely displeased.

Although the two of them did not move for half a minute, in the winter, sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Presumptuous! The crown prince has never turned a blind eye to the words of this palace, what are you?! Someone!"

When the people behind the queen were about to step forward to arrest her, Lin Yanzhi came out, walked out quickly, and saluted the queen: "The queen's mother is angry, and the two of them are just following His Royal Highness's orders, and they also invite the mother to ......."

"Shut up Hongu! Don't talk to Ze'er with the palace! Lin Yanzhi, it's all because of you and him that they will suffer, come here! Take them all away from Hongu!"

When Tao Xing heard this, she didn't care about anything, so she immediately stepped forward, blocked Lin Yanzhi behind her, and pulled with those who reached out to grab her, and accidentally fell to the ground and twisted her foot, she didn't care about the pain, she immediately got up and continued to pull, and cried to the queen: "Please let the mother let go of the adult, if the mother wants to arrest it, only the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are willing to receive punishment for the adult!"

"What are you! You have to speak?!"

After Mama Li heard what the queen said, she also stepped forward and raised her hand to hit Tao Xing's mouth, but unexpectedly, Lin Yanzhi immediately hugged Tao Xing into her arms, and the slap fell on her face.

Lin Yanzhi suddenly had a very conspicuous palm print on her face, she purred in her throat, lowered her eyes and said: "Niangniang is a minister, the minister is just going with Niangniang, I hope Niangniang will not embarrass innocent people."

The queen glanced at her, snorted, and said disdainfully, "You negotiate terms with this palace?"

"Don't dare, it's just that according to the ancestral system, even Your Majesty can't control this place."

"You!" The queen pointed at her and said with an angry smile, "The courage is really big enough, no wonder you can coax Yanran, and you can hook Ze'er's heart, okay, you obediently go with this palace, and this palace will let them go and will not be pursued."

Tao Xing was so anxious that she was about to speak again, but Lin Yanzhi immediately turned around, covered her tightly, shook her head at her and said, "It's okay, I'll come when I go, you are obedient, go and make ginger tea, and wait for me to come back and drink it."

After that, she didn't let those people arrest her, and walked up to the queen mother with her waist straight.

After the queen glanced at her, she turned around and walked away with her, but the direction was not back to her palace.

After they left, Ginkgo held a pile of cloth and said happily as she walked out, "My lord, this material is good, and it doesn't seem to be afraid of water—huh, what about people?"

She saw that the octagonal pavilion was empty, so she picked up the cloth, shook her head, looked around, and finally saw Tao Xing, who was sitting in front of the courtyard gate with her feet pressed, and she was so frightened that she immediately dropped the pile of cloth and ran to her.

"Sister Taoxing, why are you sitting on the ground on this cold day?" When she squatted down and looked at Tao Xing, she couldn't help but be stunned, "You, why are you crying? What about adults?"

Tao Xing grabbed her hand and reluctantly stood up, she pushed Ginkgo: "You go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and tell His Highness that the Queen Mother has taken away the adult, quickly!"

As soon as the stunned Ginkgo heard this, he immediately pulled out his legs and left, but when he went to the place, he didn't see the prince or Cheng Dong, thinking that Xu was not returning to the court, gritted his teeth, and walked out of the door of the East Palace.

As soon as she took a step, she saw a group of people in the distance, and after seeing that it was Cheng Dong, she was so happy that she hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran towards him.

Cheng Dong stretched out his hand to support the ginkgo who almost threw himself on the ground, and kindly reminded: "Ouch, Ginkgo girl, no matter how urgent you are, you can't run like this in the palace, if you collide with any nobleman, I'm afraid that even Lord Lin will have to be scolded."

"Ahem, ahem, sir...... She...... She was ......"

"Ginkgo girl, you take your breath and speak slowly." Cheng Dong looked at the panting ginkgo with amusement.

Ginkgo shook her head violently, pounded her chest twice, and said slowly, "My lord, she was taken away by the queen's mother!" Father-in-law Cheng, go and let His Highness save her!"

Cheng Dong suppressed his smile, and then walked briskly, and suddenly, Yin Xing grabbed his hand and said, "Father-in-law, isn't His Highness not in the East Palace? Why are you still going inside?"

Cheng Dong had no choice but to pull her and walk briskly together: "Your Highness has left the palace and gone to Su Mansion, I can't leave the palace without permission, so I can only go and ask someone to pass the word."

Qin Tianze, who was in Su Mansion, was in the front hall, sitting upright and waiting.

Su Yunqi opened his mouth and said, "Just now, someone replied, saying that Yanran went out of the house to buy things, and she was already on her way back."

In fact, Su Yanran's carriage was also going to the palace road, but the next person quickly caught up with her, and told her that the prince was waiting for her in the mansion, so she could only turn back again.

Qin Tianze bowed, and the two sat silently again.

After waiting for a while, just when Su Yunqi was wondering whether to ask him to go back first, and when he went to the morning court tomorrow and took Yanran directly into the palace together, she finally waited for her figure in front of the door.

Su Yan came and bowed to them, "Father, Your Highness."

"Yanran, you're back, do you know how long Your Highness has been waiting for you? Don't make amends to Your Highness yet."

Su Yanran obediently lowered her eyes and said, "Let Your Highness wait for a long time, Yanran is very guilty."

When Qin Tianze heard this, he only looked at her lightly and didn't say a word, until he saw her skirt trembling slightly, and then he spoke: "It's the palace that suddenly visited, how can I blame you?" Get up quickly, this palace wants to talk to you."

When Su Yunqi heard this, he said, "Then Yanran, you take His Highness down to the garden, you ......."

"No need, let's talk about it here, so as not to spread any rumors that will tire her reputation."

Su Yunqi listened, and his heart was not very happy, even if something came out, it would only be icing on the cake and affect his reputation...... He's going to ......

Su Yanran seemed to be unconscious, and said with a light smile, "Doesn't my father have an important task? The daughter is here, and the father can rest assured that the daughter will not neglect His Highness."

Su Yunqi took a deep look at her, then got up and retired.

Su Yanran walked over and wanted to change Qin Tianze with hot tea.

"No need, I'll leave after saying a few words."

She paused with her hand, still changed it for him, and then asked all the subordinates to retreat, Qin Tianze frowned, and when she said that she wanted to leave one or two subordinates, she said: "Yan Ran knows why His Highness is here, and I hope His Highness will have mercy and save some face for Yan Ran."

Qin Tianze had no choice but to acquiesce, and when only the two of them were left, he went straight to the point and said, "This palace wants to ask you for help and tell the queen your true intentions." After a pause, "You don't actually want to marry me."

"Your Highness, if only you know what I mean in my heart." Su Yanran raised her head, looked at him fixedly, and said, "It's just that I also ask Your Highness to forgive Yanran—I can't respond to this matter."
